Zhang Dun was also very shocked by Zhao Xu's "generosity" this time.

You should know that even Emperor Shenzong would require interest on the outer court to "borrow money" and would repeatedly urge the return, for fear that the outer court would not pay it back or not after being delayed for a long time.

After Zhang Dun and Wu Juhou finished speaking, he said: "The government has given all its money and ministers, and we cannot just ask for it. For the money and grain of the royal bill, I need to sign every cent borrowed by the Ministry of Revenue. By the way, what form do we usually borrow and repay it?"

Wu Juhou said: "It is generally based on our requirements, cash or grain. However, the money and grain of the royal bill number are not in the same place, so it is troublesome to second it. If the place we want to use has a royal bill number and semi-colon, it will generally be paid locally. In the current form, it is usually half of the cash and Jiaozi each."

Cai Bian looked at Wu Juhou and said, "If it is Jiaozi from the official treasury, he can trust it and save a lot of hardships and fireworks. He can also avoid many of them."

Zhang Dun recognized what was ahead and did not agree with reducing corruption.

With a serious and serious expression, Zhang Dun looked at Wu Juhou and said, "We need to help the Royal Piaoqian. The court and the officials carefully discussed that 'The world's money and grain are transferred to Bianjing' will do more harm than good, and should be adjusted appropriately. If Jiaozi, who has the Royal Piaoqian, can be dispatched in the center, save a lot of effort."

Wu Juhou raised his hand and said hesitantly: "Xiaoguan also thinks that it is not a blessing if this is true. Xiaguan and others are worried that the royal ticket cannot last long. If it collapses suddenly in the future, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhang Dun listened and looked at Cai Bian.

Cai Bian nodded slightly, looked at Wu Juhou, and said with a briefing: "You don't have to worry about the Royal Piaoqian. This is just the beginning. In the future, the court will set up a special supervisory yamen, and the Royal Piaoqian will not always dominate."

Wu Juhou's honest face remained unchanged, and his little eyes blinked.

If Cai Bian says this, let alone him, even those officials of the fourth and fifth ranks can fool them.

Royal Piaohao is the official treasury. Will the yamen in charge always dominate?

How is that possible!

Zhang Dun took the conversation at the right time and said, "For the emptiness of the national treasury, the Political Affairs Hall has many measures to deal with it, so as to increase revenue and reduce expenditure as much as possible. In the next three years, everyone will have to work harder."

The imperial court's expenditure increased significantly and tax revenues decreased greatly. As one grew, the other was getting short of money, and it became increasingly difficult.

As the Minister of Revenue, Wu Juhou felt deeply pressured.

He let go of the sensitive topic of "Royal Piao" and raised his hand, saying, "When it comes to open source, Xiaguan thinks that one is to make business rectification, especially the maritime trade, which may be helpful. The other... is mutual trading. If it is open to trade with Liao, Li Xia, Tubo, and even Dali Kingdom, it is managed by Xiaguan, and I dare not say much. It is still possible to increase the income of 5 million yuan a year."

As the Minister of Revenue, he knew about the situation in Liao, Li Xia and Tubo. If the Song Dynasty was relaxed, it would be able to significantly dump "non-regulated" goods, and the profits would be absolutely amazing!

Cai Bian looked a little solemn and said, "The Ministry of Revenue can do the business matters. Regarding the exchange of trade, the court must consider this point again. Don't expect too much. Also, the Political Affairs Hall has decided to tighten the salt, iron ore, etc., and not be so scattered."

Wu Juhou also mentioned this idea, but this part has been involved for more than a hundred years, and the imperial court has always been cautious.

"Does the Ministry of Revenue need to be grasped?" Wu Juhou asked.

Zhang Dun said: "No, the court will set up a special and new yamen for this matter, which will directly belong to the Political Affairs Hall."

Wu Juhou's fat face moved. Recently, there have been more and more new yamen set up by the court, and the majority of them are "affiliated with the Political Affairs Hall".

This also indicates that the imperial court's concentration of power continues.

Cai Bian seemed to hear footsteps, looked up and said, "The Ministry of Revenue has a heavy responsibility. We have talked with Liang Shangshu many times. There are many things that cannot be agreed upon. You must continue to be careful. In addition, the Political Affairs Hall is considering some of the powers of the Ministry of Revenue, and it must be taken out separately and form a new yamen. For example, household registration, taxes, land acres, etc., you must have a clear idea of ​​it."

Wu Juhou's mouth moved. He was thinking that the centralization of the court was intensifying, and this was coming again.

This is to bring the power of the Ministry of Revenue directly under the Political Affairs Hall, which is more conducive to the management and control of the Political Affairs Hall.

Clustered between the complex networks such as the Ministry of Revenue and the Political Affairs Hall, the 'New Party' and the 'Old Party' and the personal relationship with Zhang Dun, Wu Juhou was trying to find an excuse to shirk it, but saw Pei Yin quickly walk in and said, "Da Jiagong, something happened."

Pei Yin is a person with concentration and only politeness, and he rarely rushed in like this.

Zhang Dun looked as usual and said, "What's the matter?"

Pei Yin said: "The Dali Temple sent someone to spread a message. The former Hongzhou magistrate should have a tribe of the tribe who came to Beijing to beat the Dengwen drum to clear the grievances of Yingguan."

Cai Bian was stunned, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Ying Guan was the former governor of Hongzhou Prefecture, the former Jiangnan West Road, and was the well-known main force in the implementation of the "new policy" in the governor's yamen headed by He Yi.

After He Yi's death, Ying Guan, Luan Qi and others committed suicide in the Hongzhou Prefecture prison before being escorted to Beijing for trial.

Now, his tribe members enter Beijing and want to beat the drums and shout for injustice.

There is a meaning of being indescribable.

On the charge of Ying Guan, not to mention resisting the "New Policy", it is fine if you take corruption and bribes, and it is fined ten times.

But a few days after Zongze arrived at Jiangnan West Road, Yingguan's tribe members were about to beat the drum!

Zhang Dun, who has experienced countless official struggles, naturally has a brighter heart.

Wu Juhou stood up with his belly, his fat face wrinkled, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

This is the group of people on Jiangnan West Road that started to fight back.

Perhaps, this is not a counterattack, it is just a temptation.

Zhang Dun picked up the tea cup and drank tea quietly.

Cai Bian pondered for a while and said to Zhang Dun: "I'm afraid this matter will be a mess, so I have to find a way to hold it down."

Zhang Dun took a sip, then put it down, and said, "I can't hold it back. They are prepared. If we force ourselves to suppress it, it will only cause a bigger problem. What do you think of Xing Shu?"

Xing Shu, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the actual person in charge of Dali Temple.

Pei Yin hurriedly said, "Dengwen Gu is under the management of the Censorate. It was only when someone informed Dali Temple in advance that Xing Shaoqing knew about it and sent someone to notify me."

Cai Bian understood and looked at Zhang Dun and said, "When the drum sounded, everyone in the city knew that the officials wanted to summon him, and even held court meetings. After a while, it was a wave of attacking us."

Zhang Dun raised his sword eyebrows and said lightly: "They still haven't figured out who has the final say in this court. Huang Lu passed the message and took the initiative to remove Ying Guan and others from all official positions, continue to investigate, and pursue and suppress corruption and illegal gains."

"The Censorate was instructed to deport Ying Guan and others to the Jiangnan West Road, and ordered Jiangnan West Road to quickly investigate, or send envoys to return to Hongzhou Prefecture with those tribesmen."

"The Censorate must take strict care of those who have heard the drum."
