Chapter 521 Are You Losing Or I Losing?

Then, His Majesty the Emperor summoned the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and immediately asked, "How much gold and silver are there in the treasury?"

When Hubu Shangshu heard the words, his expression turned pale: "There's still...about less than 20 million taels."

In terms of daily expenses, the treasury still has a reserve of 20 million taels, which can last at least a year, which is by no means too small, but now, this figure is not enough!

Not even a fraction is enough!

More than one million loyal souls, how much is one hundred taels per person? What's more, how can one hundred taels per person be enough? !

"Not enough! Not enough!"

His Majesty the Emperor murmured, and then asked: "How much cash do you have on hand? I want the exact figure,"

"Less than five million taels!"

This time the Minister of the Ministry of Households answered quickly. He was a little confused about the intention of His Majesty to ask this question. Even if he wants to reward the three armies, it cannot be just cash, and this amount of money is not enough at all, even the military salary alone is not enough. , not to mention the expenditures such as pensions and rewards, which are at best nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

"Five million taels...these are enough to complete one of my ideas." His Majesty the Emperor frowned, rubbing the center of his brows, and said slowly: "The decree Ministry of Industry, immediately rush to work overnight; casting... three million pieces silver."

"ah?"

Hubu Shangshu lifted his head forgetfully, his eyeballs almost protruding.

What are you trying to do?

Originally, the money was not enough, and there was only this amount of money in total, and they were all stretched thin, so they had to be minted into silver coins?

And what are the silver coins for?

Our country spends, but there is never such a thing as gold coins and silver coins.

Is it to promote the new currency system?

But there was never any preparation for this before, the involvement in this has become too big, it can't be done in a short time, okay?

Seeing the Puzzled expression on the face of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, His Majesty the Emperor explained: "This batch of silver coins is not for circulation, and on the front of the silver coins are engraved the eight characters 'Loyalty never dies, Nobility lasts forever'. Well, under the eight characters, there is also the seal of Yuxi. On the back is my national flag of Yutang, which is the basic pattern."

"Then, on each silver coin, the name of a soldier who died in battle must be engraved, and it must be implemented for everyone!"

His Majesty the Emperor said sadly: "I want all the orphans of the soldiers who died in battle; in addition to military merit medals, due pensions, and posthumous rewards... I will also give a silver coin to the loyal soul. Correspondingly implement it to every family."

Only then did Shangshu of the Household Department gradually understand His Majesty's intentions, and said in a deep voice, "Yes."

"This loyal soul silver coin cannot be used as a flower, and trading is strictly prohibited; however, those who hold this silver coin will pay half of their children's education; if there is something to do, it will be given priority; if it is bullied, it will be seen by the parents and officials, and the priority will be dealt with."

"Your Majesty, I also know that Your Majesty is sympathetic to the orphans of soldiers and soldiers. However, the distribution of these silver coins is a big deal, and there are too many entanglements. I will only mention one thing. Silver coins are very easy to obtain and mint. Such a large number of silver coins If it continues to be distributed, it is inevitable that there will be no way to distinguish the authenticity from the fake, and this silver coin has great efficacy...if someone really uses it fraudulently...it will definitely be a big trouble." The Minister of the Household Department pondered for a while before saying.

His Majesty the Emperor said indifferently: "If this matter is easy to handle, I will deliver the decree directly, why bother to bring you to discuss it, I only have one request, and I cannot use it falsely."

Hubu Shangshu was dumbfounded: Can't use it fraudulently? This is already a big problem, okay? What can I do? Isn't it embarrassing for you?

"Go down." His Majesty the Emperor said: "Think carefully, think about how to operate, can't be used fraudulently, can't be... can't be... can't...

"Go down, think about the answer."

Hubu Shangshu withdrew from the lawsuit with a bitter face.

Xin Dao seems to have to discuss how to avoid these troubles overnight... My life is really miserable!

As the Minister of the Ministry of Households in this poor country, he has to tighten his belt every day, and he wants to break a copper coin into eight petals. In this position, there are people asking for money everywhere, and I don’t know how many people I have offended...

Every court performance, I must be the one who gets impeached the most...

It’s easy for me, I have extra work today, and it’s such a brain-burning and headache-inducing job, it’s going to kill me!

...

The Minister of the household department went down.

"Is Marquis Yun still there?" His Majesty the Emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, Yunhou has been waiting in the side hall for a long time."

"Let him roll in." His Majesty the Emperor said.

While speaking, the servants had already filled the imperial study room with piles of books, and there was an endless stream of people behind them carrying books like hills.

Under normal circumstances, too many people are strictly prohibited from entering and leaving the emperor's imperial study room. Even if there is the emperor's will, it can only be carried out after the emperor has left. After all, too many people coming and going will cause potential danger, but the emperor The number of relevant secret collection books that His Majesty wants this time is quite a lot; among them are many ancient books from previous dynasties... It is really not a small amount, and if it is roughly estimated, it would not be a problem to fill up two imperial study rooms.

In view of this, the head of the servants naturally reported immediately. Everyone knew that His Majesty the Emperor attached great importance to this data investigation, and he would never dare to be negligent in the slightest.

"Put some in first, and then move the other parts in after checking to make sure there is nothing missing." His Majesty the Emperor ordered.

Before the words were finished, Marquis Yun walked in hurriedly.

"What's this for?" Yunhou couldn't help being startled when he saw the room full of books.

The imperial study room is said to be a study room, and there are indeed many books in it, but more functions are for the emperor to handle political affairs and review memorials. It is also rare that so many books are actually compiled.

"Let's not talk about this for now." His Majesty the Emperor stared at Yunhou closely: "Well...the matter I asked you to investigate before, how is it going? Is there any result?"

Yunhou rolled his eyes, sat down on the grand teacher's chair, and said leisurely: "Let's have a cup of tea first."

Looking at the entire Yutang Empire, including the most famous three hooligans in the capital, Fang Qingtian, who sang cold swords in the autumn sword, it is absolutely certain that no one dares to be so presumptuous in front of Yupeize, the emperor of Yutang, but Yunhou Yunxiaoyao outside the sky dares, really Dare!

Facing His Majesty's inquiry, he asked for tea and water!

The emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Come here, pour tea!"

"Show your palace snow buds!" Yunhou said: "I like that taste!"

His Majesty the Emperor closed his eyes again, and took a deep breath: "Come on! Serve Xueya Tribute Tea!"

Tea is served.

Seeing the hunting heart, Yun Hou stretched out his hand to grab it.

"Slow down!" His Majesty the Emperor pressed it down: "Let's talk about the business first, and then drink tea after you finish talking. It doesn't matter how much you drink, but don't rush to drink tea before you finish talking!"

Marquis Yun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.

His Majesty the Emperor squinted at him. Little boy, can't he cure you?

Obviously, being addicted to tea is a small weakness of Marquis Yun, which is enough to be dealt with!

"Which matter? The matter of the war?" Yunhou finally decided to give in.

Some things, why are you so serious, especially when you are facing the lord of a country, if you accept it, you will accept it. Can you really be taller than me! ?

"I mean... I'll let you check..." His Majesty the Emperor lowered his voice, and leaned into Yunhou's ear viciously: "Your precious son Yunyang...is it... the one of Yun Zun... thing!"

Marquis Yun inhaled deeply again, and then exhaled slowly, with extremely long air pulses.

"Have you found any clues?" His Majesty the Emperor asked.

Yunhou sighed deeply, "I'm thirsty!"

"Come here!" His Majesty the emperor said with blue veins throbbing on his forehead, "This one who dares to despise the king and deceive the king..."

"You can pull it down!" Yunhou waved his hand and said hesitantly: "I tell you clearly, with my current cultivation strength and the people under your hands, there is no way to stop me from doing anything. , you know, anything!"

His Majesty the Emperor was so breathless that he didn't come up, his eyes were wide open, and he pointed at someone: "Good boy, you are capable and promising, dare to challenge your brother, don't you? But, you have already had this Are you capable? Tell me, what you want to do, tell me, tell me!"

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor who was completely different from usual, Yunhou was a little dumbfounded, and raised his hand: "I say, I say it is."

"Say it! What are you talking about!"

"Actually, what I said was really nonsense, and I didn't find out." Yunhou spread his hands readily: "No."

The Emperor's Majesty stared at gold stars for a moment, jumped like a thunder, raised his hand, and the cup of tea he had just poured for Yun Hou was swept down to the ground with a bang, smashed to pieces!

Didn't find out, what's your appetite if you didn't find out? Is that what you're doing?

You're so pushy, why don't you go to heaven? !

Yunhou sighed, and with a wave of his hand, the teapot placed far away flew over by itself, poured a cup of tea in an orderly manner, and said softly: "I'm telling you the truth, I really didn't intend to check it for you, but really didn't Find out...Actually...I still can't figure it out, why do you have to find out who Yun Zun is? Isn't it enough to know that he is harmless to you?"

His Majesty the Emperor sat on the dragon chair puffed up, looking at Yunhou's face like lightning.

"Actually, who is Jiuzun and who is Yunzun, is it really that important?" Yunhou said softly: "No matter who he is, he is Yutang's sincere supporter!"

"Even if you find out, so what?"

"Yun Zun has been hiding his identity from the beginning to the end, and he doesn't want anyone to know his real side. Don't you know why?"

Yunhou asked, as if he was asking the emperor, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "He, the only one left among the nine, wants to take revenge, first of all, he must be safe. Only when safety is the first, can we talk about the follow-up, and from the other On the one hand... Yun Zun's identity, if one day is not seriously revealed, it will leave the entire Profound Sky Continent with one more day of shock! It belongs to... the unique shock of the Nine Venerables!"

"But if one day, Yun Zun's identity is made public, and the details of his identity and background are dug out, then...how long do you think the legend of Yu Tang's Nine Masters will last?"

"Once others find out his identity, he may die within three days!"

"At that time, Jiuzun will really become a legend!"

Yunhou said: "So, don't investigate!"

His Majesty's eyes slowly turned soft and helpless, and he said, "Why don't I understand this section? Before I let it go, I wouldn't have deliberately pursued it. But the situation has changed now."

"You should know that Tu Zun, the head of the Nine Zun, is precisely my eldest prince... He left behind a bloodline by chance and coincidence. And it was Yun Zun who informed me of this matter at the beginning..."

His Majesty the Emperor closed his eyes helplessly: "Do you know...that means...this Yun Zun can control the imperial power now, and even control the heir to the throne; even... Ruoran finally passed the throne to that child , this Yun Zun is equivalent to the regent king..."

"I... don't want to investigate; but... I must."

His Majesty the Emperor sighed.

This is the helplessness of an emperor, the emperor's mind is unpredictable, especially when some people and certain things are beyond the control of the imperial power, especially so!

Yunhou snorted: "If this is the case, then there is no way to investigate. You think what I said just now, with your strength, can no longer stop me from doing anything. It is a joke. Unfortunately, it is the truth , is also reality, I am still like this, let alone Yun Zun!"

His Majesty the Emperor was speechless.

Yunhou squinted at him, and said with no concealment of sarcasm: "Look at the sons you gave birth to, what are they all about? Apart from fighting for power and profit, they are selfish and cruel; they are like quails to the outside world, and they are like quails to the inside. Like a venomous snake, is there a decent one...I said..."

His Majesty the Emperor looked up weakly: "What?"

Yunhou twitched his mouth: "Sometimes I really doubt whether you have been given a cuckold... These people, except for the boss, don't look alike at all, no, they probably don't look like our family at all... "

Before the rant was finished, the enraged emperor slapped a book on his head: "You bastard!"

Knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, Yun Hou coughed, wiped off the crumbs all over his head and face, and sat upright as if nothing had happened: "I was joking just now, but this will really be a joke."

His Majesty the Emperor was trembling with anger: "I made you joke!"

Several books were smashed on top of Yunhou's head again, and His Majesty the Emperor was furious: "I am so angry now, why did the father be so indiscreet back then, go out to do it, and finally get a you... You are simply sent from heaven to anger me!" of!"

Marquis Yun rolled his eyes: "He should be glad that he went out to do it... If you only get one of you, you will be even more tired... Do you admit that I have helped you a lot, many of them are still a big help Well, to be a human being, you have to have a bit of conscience, even an emperor, an emperor, can't completely obliterate conscience, can you?!"

His Majesty the Emperor was so angry that he rolled his eyes wildly. Seeing that he was about to lose his breath, he pointed at Yunhou with a trembling finger: "You you...you you you...you are going to piss me off!!"

But as Yunhou said, Yunhou has really helped Emperor Yutang a lot, and apart from being annoying, there is really nothing to blame.

Yunhou rolled his eyes lightly, and said: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, it's useless even if you get angry again. Let me tell you the truth, that kid Yunyang is very unusual, with a beautiful chest and a big heart, he I have no intention of imperial power, otherwise, even if he is not my seed, I would like to let him inherit the great power directly, but it is a pity that his children look down on our foundation; moreover, he is really not Yun Zun. clear."

His Majesty the Emperor snorted, stared at him, and waited for Hou Yun's next words. It is expected that Hou Yun's words must have a basis.

"The battle situation was at a critical moment that day, and the power of the nine gods unexpectedly appeared to help the battle. It was the power of the nine gods that appeared at the same time. I was watching from the side at the time, and I can't go wrong with this. At that time, Yun Yang was also riding a horse, in the middle of the battle. Charge... So, he is definitely not Yun Zun." Yun Hou sighed: "At that time, I presided over the escort of Lao Qiu's return on the surface, but in fact I secretly went back to see what happened. If you think about it, everything you have explained Things, did I not give my heart that time?"

His Majesty the Emperor frowned: "But..."

"I'll say it one last time, it's really not him!" Yunhou spread his hands helplessly: "If you don't even believe me, then who else can you trust, we are brothers."

His Majesty the Emperor sighed: "Brother... I can have a brother like you, I have burned eight lifetimes of high incense... I am so tired that I can't breathe..."

Marquis Yun narrowed his eyes: "What are you talking about? Try telling me again?!"

His Majesty the Emperor snorted: "Try it and try it. Could it be that what I said is not the truth? It is not the truth that you travel around the mountains and rivers outside every day? On the other hand, how do I live? You don't have any points in your heart? I am in a panic! Don't panic, do you understand?"

Yunhou's eyeballs protruded half a foot in anger: "What did you say? You are at a loss?! Can you still have me at a loss? You are an emperor who is not good at anything else. Your face is at its peak, and no one can match it!"

He stood up suddenly: "If you don't say this, I won't be angry. Since you said it today, I will argue with you. You dare to say that you are at a loss. Where are you at a loss? You are His Majesty the Emperor , I have a noble status, and I rule the world; what about me? The whole f*cking whole country knows that I am a royal, but the whole f***ing whole world also knows that I am an illegitimate child! Including royal children, who has ever walked with me face to face? present?!"

"You bastard Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, with countless concubines, enjoying all the beauty, but what about me? I'm in my forties, but I'm still a bachelor! You have children to continue your blood, even if you fudge it Nothing interesting, but always full of children and grandchildren, but me..."

"You say I'm good-looking, and it's easy to get money. No one dares to mess with me, and I have an earth-shattering cultivation. How have I lived these years? Are you at a loss?"

"Is it because I have few confidante friends? Not at all! But why am I still single!?"

"It's not thanks to our wise and powerful father, he is so awesome. Before he died, he took my hand and asked me to promise him that he would not have a family in this life, and that he would not have children after he was married. He was afraid that it would cause turmoil in the imperial power. , he knows that if I get married, I will definitely be better than you..."

"See who you have the face for, what about me, am I at a loss?"

"I sacrificed everything for you, and I can't afford to say I'm wrong, but you still dare to say I'm wrong?"

"Just now you only said one thing correctly, that is, you can have a brother like me, and you will burn eight lifetimes of high incense..."

"Since you said it was a loss, why don't we exchange it!"

Yunhou bulged his eyeballs and jumped into a rage: "Come on, change, let's see if I, Yun Xiaoyao, can be the emperor well! At the very least, I have a son who I can teach well, unlike you, who have trained a promising son Don't be my eldest prince, it's because you have trained well, it's because other people's children are born to be promising, as long as you are still licking Bilian, I'm worse off than you... You're so bad!"

His Majesty the Emperor was speechless for a long time, and then rolled his eyes after a long while and said: "This was decided by the emperor back then. If you have any opinions, you can go to him!"

Two in one.
