In fact, Wei Yunyi understood.
Doing so is not good for the court or for the father-in-law.
After all, what he did was too inconsiderate of the feelings of his subordinates, but he had no choice.
The country's fortunes are now skyrocketing, exceeding any previous time, and will continue to rise unless curbed.
Moreover, Wei Yunyi's original intention was to be a tyrant. How could a tyrant care about other people's feelings, even though he felt a little embarrassed.
But as long as there is an opportunity to curb the country's destiny, he will not let it go, and now he is about to lead the army in person.
I must work harder in this regard.
The more money you spend.
The greater the financial burden on the country, the more it will be used to control the country's fortunes.
Thinking about this, Wei Yunyi picked up the memorial from the Ministry of Revenue and began to read it.
It was presented by my father-in-law, and he was talking about the expenses of this imperial expedition.
But to his surprise, the other party did not complain about this.
But say.
Everything has been arranged.
Whether it is the palace they need or the supplies and food, the Ministry of Revenue can provide corresponding silver support in the early stage.
Wei Yunyi was completely stunned by the contents above. His hands were shaking slightly as he couldn't help but ask, "I've seen the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue before. Didn't they say that the bank's deposits were almost empty? How could they come up with so much money?"
Although it was stated above that it was only in the early stages of the war, this still doesn't seem right.
After all, the Ministry of Revenue’s money can’t be used only for war, right?
Other aspects are also needed.
How come you suddenly have money?
Could it be that my father-in-law got it from somewhere else through improper means?
That’s not right. How could the other party be so brave?
Said.
His eyes were also full of doubts.
Zhao Lingying, who was standing nearby, heard this and immediately said, "Your Majesty, when I first saw this memorial, I was quite clear about it. However, Father-in-law Song later gave a special explanation, saying that a few months ago, he sent Minister Sun Keqiang to the northern border to oversee border trade, and that it was already showing initial results."
"Although the Ministry of Revenue doesn't have much money right now, it's enough to cover various expenses, and it's no problem to support Your Majesty's personal expedition to the Baiyue region."
"Also, the tax collection after the reform is underway and will be available soon. Your Majesty does not need to worry about silver."
Sun Kejian, the northern border? Border trade?
Upon hearing this, Wei Yunyi was stunned.
Some time ago, he learned that Sun Kejian suddenly left the capital and headed for the northern border.
But at that time, he didn't care at all. He thought it might be the official business of the Ministry of Revenue. In addition, this cousin of the Empress Dowager was an official for the first time, so he might have been ostracized by his colleagues in the Ministry of Revenue, so he was sent out directly to avoid trouble in the capital.
But what was unexpected was that the other party was actually going to promote border trade.
Now several months have passed.
It was also made by Sun Kejian...
Border trade has actually existed throughout history, but it was not on a large scale and was mostly small-scale.
Moreover, this matter has always been led by the Ministry of Revenue. Because there is almost no income every year and sometimes people have to put money into it, no one cares about it, not even Wei Yunyi.
But now that Sun Kejian is gone, according to his father-in-law, he has achieved certain results.
At this moment, Wei Yunyi felt like crying.
He promoted Sun Kejian.
His original intention was to take in the other party's identity as a merchant family, thinking that if this person couldn't even manage his family's business, he would definitely not be able to be an official.
Perhaps, because of the profit-seeking nature of businessmen, they will become corrupt and then corrupt the court.
But who knew that not only did the other party not do so, but also promoted border trade...
Wei Yunyi was helpless and angry.
I think at this point, the Ministry of Revenue should submit a memorial to the emperor.
But soon, he shook his head. Not to mention that this matter was not entirely under the control of either party, and neither had the final say.
Even if I had discovered it at the time, I wouldn't necessarily believe that Sun Kejian could do it. Maybe if there was such a memorial, I would have agreed to it directly.
At the very least, this kind of backstabbing incident has happened more than once or twice.
So you have to stay calm.
Wei Yunyi knew it very well.
It is too late and unnecessary to pursue this matter now.
Although the Ministry of Revenue has now raised enough money for the emperor to lead the army in person, this amount is still not enough to support a major war.
In addition, the court has support from all sides. At most, I can stay in Zhennan Pass for a while. The expenses of more than 200,000 people are still there, and the army is going to war. Even if my father-in-law raises the tax rate, can it last for a long time?
Definitely not.
My plan to curb the country's destiny has just begun.
Even if we encountered some problems, they were not big and were all under control.
Immediately, he put down the memorial and said, "Well, not bad, not bad. The father-in-law did a good job, and Sun Kejian is also good. Just approve it as normal."
Zhao Lingying, who was standing beside him, nodded after hearing this. She dealt with the memorial from the Ministry of Revenue and then said, "Your Majesty, how long will it take you to personally lead the expedition to Zhennan Pass?"
What she cares about most now is how long Wei Yunyi will be gone, although she knows that he will not encounter any danger.
But if I am gone for too long, without His Majesty's company, I might not be able to control my longing for him for a while.
But we also know that Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and that he leads the army in person for the sake of the imperial court.
No matter how reluctant you are, you should still support it.
Instead of acting like a little woman.
