It is estimated that the stuff that contains the medicine is Yin wood, let alone its quality. It kills 90% of the monks in the spiritual world instantly. Ahem, in fact, if the monks in the spiritual world include the Qi refining period, then more than 90% of them are Qi refining.

period monk.

Qingqing took the weird wooden spoon to worship.

Queen Sun Yafang was only fourteen years old when she entered the palace and is now nineteen years old. Liu An took out an item and said, "This is for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sun Yafang didn't feel surprised at all when she got a medicine hammer for pounding medicine.

"This is yours." Xiuyu is Yang Xiuyun's sister, and Xiuyu is a noble concubine. Liu An took out an embroidery needle. This needle can reach eighty feet in size and two points in size.

Yang Xiuyun looked at the thing in his hand with a strange face and asked, "Your Majesty, this seems to be a broom?"

It's the broom. This broom is actually the highest grade among them. The broom has its own magical power. When it is swept, it carries wind and water. In other words, as long as it is strong enough, it can sweep away a mountain like garbage.

"This is a magic weapon refined by the ancestors of past generations. What our sect emphasizes is that Tao follows nature..." Liu An then popularized the Taoist sect's principles.

Then Yang Xiuyun left happily.

Liu An breathed a sigh of relief, and then came Xiao Wuzi and others.

What are these people's magic weapons? They are hoes and axes. Although they look rough in Liu An's eyes, they can't stand up to the quality of the materials.

So the quality of the baby is not very low.

The reason why people like Xiaowuzi distribute treasures is because now that the timeline is gone, if an unexpected situation occurs, these people need to be relied on to withstand it.

Including some palace maids with relatively good talents, they are also practicing one after another.

Looking back, Liu An didn't know what the situation was like now.

A sect is not a sect, and a country is not a country.

"Maybe we can create a new model." Liu An muttered in his heart.

The people in the court knew that the little emperor liked to practice, but they didn't care.

If you want to say the court is big, it is extremely big. If you want to say the court is small, it is small enough.

It has not been more than a year before the people in the court know that the country has warships.

Now Liu An is impatient to go to court. Once he goes to court, these ministers will make complaints about their own descendants.

"Your Majesty, have you asked the imperial physician to treat your Majesty?" As for the emperor's heirs, when people in the court opened their mouths, Liu An could not say anything at all.

This is like an older young man being forced into marriage. What courage do you have to refuse?

What courage do you have to fight?

"Okay, let's get down to business. Where did we talk about the Ministry of War?" Liu An quickly changed the topic.

Even the emperors of the past could not do whatever they were told.

The entire country has a complete set of operating methods. Some people say that the emperor only needs to issue decrees.

That's not right.

Generally, imperial edicts are drafted by departments and personnel of functional agencies such as ministers in the study room, cabinet ministers or ministers of the military aircraft department, and then submitted to the emperor for reading.

Once the emperor feels that there are no changes, he will send it to the ministers in the study, cabinet ministers or military aircraft department and other departments and personnel of functional agencies to formally draft the imperial edict and submit it to the emperor for another reading. Once approved, the emperor will stamp it.

Personal seal. Issued by a dedicated person from the dispatching country department.

The seal affixed by the emperor is fine as long as it is personal to the emperor and is frequently used.

In other words, the emperor's words didn't count, and in the later stages of each dynasty, the emperor could hardly leave the palace.

The ministers below have ways to deal with the emperor. If some emperors squeeze the literati below too much, then the literati will submit a lot of things that need the emperor's approval.

In this way, the emperor died of exhaustion, which happened in ancient Chinese history.

Many emperors' understanding of their own country was limited to what was reported below.

Therefore, the power of the emperor is not as great as imagined. Some emperors still suffered from humiliation their entire lives, not by being humiliated by foreign enemies, but by being slapped in the face by their ministers.

"Your Majesty, please give the Ministry of War an explanation regarding the battleship." Hearing the call to himself, the Minister of the Ministry of War stood up helplessly and said.

"What explanation?"

"What explanation do you want?" Liu An slammed the table and shouted.

The Minister of War said loudly: "Your Majesty, the matter of the armored battleship has been going on for nearly two years..."

"You still know what your military department does for two years?"

"If the enemy comes, will it take two years for you to know?" Liu An used the topic and shouted loudly

The Minister of War's mind was buzzing, but his thoughts were clear: "Your Majesty, the sea is vast, let's look for it somewhere."

"Stop talking, that battleship was built by me, the emperor, with my own money, and it does not belong to your Ministry of War." Liu An shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, this battleship is an important weapon of the country..." Others also stood up and shouted.

"Xiao Wuzi, tell them how much wear and tear a warship needs every year?" Liu An said to Xiao Wuzi.

Xiaowuzi immediately stood up and took out a piece of paper.

"The warship has a crew of three hundred and seventy-two, and requires supplies from five ports. Each soldier is worth twenty taels of silver a month..."

"Your Majesty, the frontier army only had three taels of silver a month before," the Minister of War said loudly.

"The border troops have land that can be planted. They get on the boat and go there to plant the land. Once they go there, they don't go home until March or May. Besides, it's still inconspicuous." Liu An said with a sneer.

"Battleships require 6 million kilograms of coal every year."

"It needs to be repaired in the shipyard every year. Maintenance usually lasts three months, and the cost is about 120,000 taels of silver."

"The weapons and equipment on the battleship need fifty thousand taels of silver to replenish each time."

Xiaowuzi kept speaking out numbers one after another.

"Hubu, how much more money are you planning to allocate to the Ministry of War next year?" Liu An looked at the stunned Minister of War.

The Minister of Hubu stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, the Hubu has no money. Although most of the border troops have been abolished, the resettlement plan has been formulated for one year. In addition, the taxes in the Northern Barbarians are still exempt from tax.

Regarding river politics and the installation of water conservancy facilities, the Ministry of War’s funding will be reduced by 30% next year.”

"You...why do you?"

"On the basis of the hundreds of thousands of stations that have been abolished, and on the basis of what your Ministry of War should have known two years ago, but only knows now."

"The country belongs to your Majesty, and the battleships also belong to your Majesty. Your Majesty doesn't know how to maintain it himself, so he gives it to you for free money. Your Majesty just calculated that a battleship requires at least one million taels of silver to maintain and fight. What are you planning to do?

How much is in the pocket.

"Next year the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry are planning to vigorously promote water pumps, so the taxes next year may be higher."

How could the Secretary of the Ministry of Hubu give more money? The Ministry of Hubu has always been a place short of money, but it has improved a lot in recent years. Now that I have money in my pocket, I don’t have to be angry anymore. In the past, the Ministry of Hubu had no money, and this was a bad person, and that was a bad person.

Anyone can come to the Ministry of Finance to scold me.

Now that you bastards want money, you have to treat the Ministry of Household Affairs as the boss.

Some people say that those who are in charge of money are still afraid of those who ask for money?

Some necessary expenses, no matter from any angle, must be paid, especially those that are relevant, even if they are misappropriated, they must be paid.

If you have a lot of money, you can misappropriate it, but what if you don’t have a lot of money?

So some related people who didn't get the money when it was due, but had a bad temper, scolded their mother?

When it comes to the entire six departments, the most troublesome one is the Ministry of War.

People who deal with people all day long have also acquired some shady habits.

Therefore, the household department and other departments are all in the same circle, literati.

The Ministry of War is only half a scholar, and you expect half a scholar to reason with you.

Ahem!

Of course Liu An knew this and said it deliberately. Of course, Liu An would have no problem asking the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Also, if the Ministry of War wants warships, they can cost three million taels of silver each. If you want to buy one, just place an order." Liu An continued to be angry.

"Impossible, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue does not have that much money. If we have three million taels of silver, we might as well build the railway in Xiling." The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue said.

There is no way. Now the tax revenue from railways is the main financial source of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry like to build railways the most. They need to allocate funds to build railways. As long as we allocate funds, there will be money.

"Your Majesty, our Ministry of War has shed blood for the empire..." the Minister of War shouted loudly.

"shameless!"

"Pooh!"

"You still remember that in the thirty-fifth year of Shenlong's reign, just for ten thousand taels of silver, the border collapsed and the Northern Barbarians invaded."

"You scum, you kill good people and take credit."

There was a quarrel in the court. The Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate accused the Ministry of War of killing good people and taking merit, while the Ministry of Husbandry accused the Ministry of War of not being accommodating.

When the time came, Liu An said, "I'm leaving first."

Liu An would definitely not stay too long during the morning session. Two hours in the morning would be enough.
To be continued...
