Chapter 969

"Your Majesty, you can't do it! You can't do it!" Just as Li Zhenbang finished speaking, Zhang Jinhui staggered out of the team and shouted loudly.

Others may not know the financial revenue and expenditure of the Carlo Empire, but he, the Minister of Finance of the Carlo Empire, is very clear about it.

Although Zhang Jinhui's life style is not very good, at least he is honest and honest at work. Especially in terms of his sensitivity to numbers and his dedication to work, he is remarkable, otherwise he would not have been able to work in this position for more than 20 years.

Regardless of the huge and complicated income and expenditures of the Carlo Empire, the entry and whereabouts of every sum of money are engraved in Zhang Jinhui's head.

In recent years, there have been too many natural disasters in the country, such as severe drought in the east and floods in the west, or severe drought in the south and floods in the north, and even one place has been suffering from severe drought, and suddenly it rained again, drowning many people.

There are also monsters that inexplicably appeared in some places, hurting many residents, and there were some casualties when troops were dispatched to capture them.

In places where disasters occur, especially natural disasters, in order to reduce the living pressure of local residents, taxes will be reduced or exempted, and even disaster relief will be subsidized.

The border area is also not very peaceful. Although there is no major military action, there are obviously more small frictions than before. The pension for casualties is also a considerable investment, especially for wounded soldiers, the cost of treatment may even be more than the pension for death.

The expenses in the palace, the maintenance and maintenance of the building, the rewards from the ministers, etc., all the expenses added together are also a lot of money.

The national treasury is already very empty, and the country's fiscal deficit has been in deficit every year for the past few years. If it weren't for the certain savings in the past, I am afraid that now we will have to rely on the sale of antiques and treasures from the national treasury to maintain the operation of the country.

The military expenses in arrears over the past few years and this year's military expenses are a total of 10,735,265,424 gold coins. The place is not as simple as being stretched, and it is very likely that it will not be able to uncover the pot.

Especially in those places where natural disasters occur, if they are not properly rescued and resettled, it is very likely that corpses will be everywhere, plagues will be rampant, and there may even be tragedies of cannibalism, and it is not impossible to turn into civil uprisings of.

That's why Zhang Jinhui ran out desperately to dissuade Zhao Tianlong. He didn't want to be able to maintain an orderly fund, but in the end it was all desperate, causing chaos in the whole country.

As Li Zhenbang said,

Compared with maintaining the stability of the country, a small undead summoned beast is absolutely insignificant.

Zhang Jinhui didn't want Zhao Tianlong to get angry, he was making a joke about the foundation of the whole country, and this joke was unbearable, not even Zhao Tianlong.

Seeing Zhang Jinhui blocking him, Zhao Tianlong frowned. Zhang Jinhui said no at this time, obviously against himself. Could it be that he, the Minister of Finance, is impatient?

Also seeing Zhang Jinhui, Li Zhenbang's feeling was completely different from Zhao Tianlong's. He even looked forward to Zhang Jinhui's ability to persuade Zhao Tianlong.

In fact, Li Zhenbang's proposal of military expenditures was not casually mentioned, but was decided after careful consideration. He originally thought that the proposal of military expenditure would make Zhao Tianlong retreat, but he didn't expect that instead it aroused Zhao Tianlong's competitive spirit and fighting spirit.

In Li Zhenbang's heart, what Zhao Tianlong did was more exciting than the feudal lords in Fenghuo. The purpose of the lords of Fenghuo Opera is to make the beauties laugh. If you say it big, it is called loving beauty and not loving the country, and if you say it small, it is called sentimentality.

But Zhao Tianlong wanted to bet on the fate of the entire country for the sake of a so-called face, and it was an untouchable face. This is nothing short of nonsense.

You must know that Li Zhenbang's undead summoned beast has nothing to do with Zhao Tianlong. Even if someone pursues it, he can put all the responsibility on Li Zhenbang.

Or whoever mentioned it, let him make a summoned undead beast himself, of course, the premise is that he has the ability and ability of Li Zhenbang.

"Your Majesty, I know it's very inappropriate to come out and object now." Zhang Jinhui knelt on the ground with his forehead firmly pressed against the ground, his body trembling slightly, not sure whether it was nervousness or fear.

Hearing Zhang Jinhui's words, Zhao Tianlong's face softened a little, he didn't speak, and continued to wait for Zhang Jinhui's next words.

Since this Zhang Jinhui dared to risk his life to speak out, he must have something to say, and his current attitude should have a reason to say it.

"Your Majesty is dead, but for the sake of the stability of the country and your majesty, I have to say it!"

"Your Majesty, you can't ignore the countless people in the country just for the sake of a momentary arrogance! Nowadays, the country is not stable, especially in recent years because of natural disasters and man-made disasters. Thanks to His Majesty's timely rescue arrangements, the people have not been displaced, but This kind of thing has not stopped, and a large amount of disaster relief funds are still needed to help."

"If this part of the money is embezzled, once another disaster occurs, there will be no way to rescue it in time. As the saying goes, the country is based on the people, and the people depend on food. When the people can't eat, it will shake the foundation of the country. !"

"If you, Your Majesty, are compared to a raging flame, then the common people are firewood. Firewood can help a fire as well as extinguish it! Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Zhang Jinhui's voice was a little trembling, showing the tension in his heart, but Very loud, it proves that he is still very confident.

Hearing Zhang Jinhui's words, Li Zhenbang's eyes lit up. He didn't expect this guy to have some knowledge. Although he is not as image-like as water can carry a boat or capsize it, he still has the vision and mind of a saint.

"The people are really immovable, so save them from other places!" Zhao Tianlong nodded, agreeing with Zhang Jinhui's words.

Hearing Zhao Tianlong's words, Li Zhenbang has also changed his opinion of Zhao Tianlong. It is true that Zhao Tianlong is self-willed and ambitious, but he can accept the people-oriented concept, which proves that he is not stupid.

"Now that the funds of various departments have been compressed to the minimum, the military expenditure will naturally be reduced within a certain range. If we go to reduce other departments at this time, and then supplement the military expenditure, let alone whether the military expenditure can be fully paid, I am afraid that other departments will I can’t work with peace of mind.”

"Military expenses are needed today, and other departments are compressed. Tomorrow, repairs are needed, and other departments are compressed. If things go on like this, people will panic. Do they have to pay for other departments from their own pockets in the end? Is it true that people in other departments Don't you need to support your family?"

"Working hard for the country, not only can't earn money, but also put money into it. In the end, it is inevitable... Never use money to test human nature, please think twice, Your Majesty!" What Zhang Jinhui originally wanted to say was that there would inevitably be complaints, He would even do some things that shouldn't be done for money, but Zhang Jinhui stopped in time and didn't say anything clearly.

Although Zhang Jinhui didn't say it clearly, his words were a bit embarrassing.

At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on the Red Maple Leaf family. Many people had malicious intentions, some gloated at others' misfortune, and some wanted to add insult to injury. You must know that just now Li Zhenbang was crying poorly for his family in public, saying that his family had already invested all the money in the family in order to pay the soldiers.

Li Zhenbang had some admiration for Zhang Jinhui at first, but the more he heard this, the more something went wrong, and in the end he was abducted by Zhang Jinhui to his family, which was not what he hoped for.

"Your Majesty, what Master Zhang said is indeed correct. After all the money is put in, our family will inevitably end up eating chaff, or even starving. But we still insist on it, because we know that His Majesty Shengming will definitely not sit idly by." Seeing his most loyal courtiers advance military expenses for him forever, they will definitely return the money in full." Li Zhenbang stood up hastily, and took Zhang Jinhui's words.

Li Zhenbang explained that what the family did was done for His Majesty, not to buy people's hearts. The money is only lent to the country because of the country's temporary economic strain. When the country has money, the money will still have to be repaid.

"I heard that Mr. Zhang, as the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, has always been very rich in his family, and the money in the family cannot be spent for generations. But I seem to have never heard of when Mr. Zhang used money from the family to subsidize Other departments!" Li Zhenbang handed the ball to Zhang Jinhui again.

Like Zhang Jinhui, Li Zhenbang always had something to say, first he said that Zhang Jinhui's family had money, but he didn't say whether the money came from a proper way. Zhang Jinhui never used his family's money to subsidize the country, and he didn't say whether he was a loyal minister or not.

In many cases, not talking is worse than talking, just like Zhang Jinhui said half of what he said just now, Li Zhenbang also only said half, and the remaining half is left to others' endless reverie.

What people like most is this kind of divergent thinking. You obviously only give him a grain of rice, but he can think of a harvest for you in autumn.

"Li Zhenbang, you..." Zhang Jinhui raised his head and glared at Li Zhenbang, but Li Zhenbang stared back without fear.

"Okay, don't argue anymore. I've made up my mind. Since I said it in front of so many people, I can't break my word." Zhao Tianlong interrupted Zhang Jinhui and Li Zhenbang, and made a decision directly.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not..." Zhang Jinhui was already crying.

"Okay, the money doesn't need to come from the treasury, I will pay it myself!"

Zhao Tianlong's words can be said to be a blockbuster, and everyone was stunned, because they saw that Zhao Tianlong had eleven more gold crystal cards in his hands...
