[First update]

Lu Jia asked when he came over at night.

Along with Yuan Sui and his group of more than twenty people, they carried lanterns all the way into Zhang Dun's mansion.

Fortunately, Lu Jiawen was just a three-sector envoy. Although he had a different name for the plan, he did not enter the two palaces in the end. He did not have so many concerns when he came and went to the gates of the prime minister.

When Lu Jia asked to enter the inner hall, Zhang Dun asked, "Why is it released at this time, but there is an urgent task in the yamen?"

"I'm sorry, thank you Zihou! If you don't invite me to the mansion today, I'll come to me myself." Lu Jiawen snorted angrily. He has been very close to Zhang Dun in the past two years, and is familiar with him. He started to complain before he sat down. "The Privy Council is so generous. It's a big pen to send it out with a large pen... Well, it's not your Xifu who is paying the money from both sides, and it's not your Zhang Zihou who can't sleep!"

Zhang Dun had known this would happen long ago.

The imperial guards who returned from Hedong in the past two days complained because they were not satisfied with the meager rewards from the court. Although there was no trouble yet, everyone knew that the red guys would not stop obediently. So the Privy Council re-subscribed the reward amount and added two pieces of silk to each soldier. However, in this way, they were replaced by the Sansi Yamen, which was already worried about the previous rewards, and complained.

Zhang Dun sighed: "There is nothing to do. If the Jing camp does not appease, the Jingcai will not be stable. Now I am just complaining. Do you have to wait for the mutiny to start? This time, the Red Man, Han Yukun only dares to use them as a storefront, and dares not use them to fight. After a great victory, he will still have the face to seek credit when he comes back! After a few days, he will clean up slowly! The leader should not run away!" First comfort the Red Man, and then settle the accounts later. This is the usual process when encountering the turmoil of the army. No matter how tough Zhang Dun is, he will not cause trouble: "... Look at how smart Han Yukun is. He sent the people back as soon as the battle was over. He will not make trouble on his territory."

Zhang Dun was in trouble, but Lu Jia asked, but he was not fooled: "After the war, of course, there is nothing to do with him. How to set the reward standards? It's not your Privy Council's business. There were already a lot of them, but now it's half of them... Han Yukun is building a track in Hedong, and there's nothing to say about using troops. It's better to be more stable than to lose rashly in the battle. If King Zhao had the foresight, he would definitely not exchange Zhao Kuo for Lian Po. But this money was spent like water!"

"It's just a tentative decision. The government affairs hall hasn't spoken yet."

Lu Jiawen was so angry that he laughed, "Preliminary? The tentative matter will be sent to the Sansi? Han Gang can push the matter to you, Zhang Zihou, and you can push the matter to the Zhengshi Hall. Will the Zhengshi Hall not push the matter to the Sansi?"

"After all, it's only a matter of hundreds of thousands of coins. I've given all millions of coins in the first place. Why save this little now?"

"Can the Minfei Paste be used indiscriminately?!"

Lu Jia asked him that he was a child of a noble family and had never lacked money in his pocket. Even if he had turned a frown with his family, he had never had to worry about not having enough money. But since he was ordered to take over as the Sansi envoy in the face of danger, he wanted to find a river to jump down so as not to worry about the money again.

With God's help, he finally had some savings and turned into a bottomless pit. The hole was so deep that Lu Jiawen couldn't sleep at night. In his opinion, the court urgently needed a means to restore balance between income and expenditure, otherwise it would inevitably exploit the people in the next few years. Now that it has not been found, it is necessary to save as much as possible, so as not to fall on one's own charges in the future.

His voice suddenly lowered: "Four years after the Renzong Grand Prix, the Yingzong Grand Prix was followed. The treasury could not even bring out the money for rewarding the ministers in the national treasury. Without this, where would the new law come from?"

It is hard to say if Lu Jia asked rebelliously, but Zhang Dun could understand what he meant.

When I was almost there was only one breath left. Although I was still sluggish with my ancestors' protection, I could not say that I would be cut off one day. If the funeral cannot be held at that time, the group of people who were suppressed would have something to say:

——For more than ten years of reform, everything has changed, but the emperor only remembers that the treasury has not changed!

If this comment is heard, the foundation of the new party's governance will be shaken.

In fact, the Song Dynasty court was very experienced in how to reward the army that had experienced war. Regardless of victory or defeat, they would be rewarded. First, appease the soldiers and the lower-level military academies. Even if the generals above were resentful because of insufficient rewards, they would not cause any major trouble.

But the problem now is that the imperial guards in Beijing are not as good as those of colleagues in Hedong, Shaanxi, but when they say they are smart and capable, they are far better than those of them.

The war in Hedong was fought all the way from Taiyuan Prefecture to the Liao Kingdom. The main force that really fought with the Liao army was still the troops of the town of Hedong. Since the Imperial Army arrived in Hedong, it has been held in Han Gang's hands until the end that it had a brief confrontation with the Liao army.

To be fair, the existence of the imperial guards in the Beijing camp successfully forced the Liao army not to let go, and they must beware of their actions at all times, which also played a certain role. However, after the war, the merits were not included. In terms of the results of the war, in terms of capturing Hedong soldiers and horses that were far inferior to those who actually fought, the number of beheadings was even worse than that of the seven thousand Western troops who suppressed bandits and quelled the rebellion.

The imperial court rewarded merits and the imperial guards in the Beijing camp could only get the most basic number, which was not as good as the Western Army and Hedong Army, which had battles and results.

It is normal for them to be unwilling to accept it if they put their heart in mind.

There is also hard work without credit. What's more, they are fighting against the fully armed and extremely fierce Liao people. They are not fighting against the foreigners and barbarians who cannot even afford armor. They will fight to the death. If one is not good, they will be wiped out. They will go to the battlefield with their heads and finally get some money to send beggars. The imperial guards in the Beijing camp have always had the tradition of causing trouble, so of course they will not settle down.

He wiped his face with the wet wipes from the maid of the Zhang family and drank two more sips of mung bean and lily soup. Lu Jiawen was also angry, "I won't talk about this anymore. The queen agreed. The money will be withdrawn from the inner warehouse and will not leave from the left warehouse."

Zhang Dun was slightly stunned. There was no news yesterday, but today it made sense: "Didn't it be agreed that the rewards sent to the three armies this time will only be 2 million chunks of chunks of chunks, and the rest will be raised by the three departments. Why do you have to withdraw them from the three departments again?"

Zuozang Sanku, which stores the tribute and tuition of the Tianxiazhou Prefecture, the money warehouse, the gold, silver and silk warehouse, and the raw and cooked silk warehouse. The three warehouses are basically the main body of the state reserves, and are in charge of the three departments. The salaries of the ministers, the three armies, and the daily expenses of the imperial court are all collected from here.

The inner warehouse was originally a sealed tent that Taizu had prepared to retake the Youyun Prefectures, but later it became the emperor's private money. However, only a small part was used for the expenses of the Tian family, and most of the purpose was to reward the ministers and the three armies, or to help the people in disasters and famines, representing the kindness of heaven. A large part of the military expenditure during the war was also expenditure from the inner warehouse - "Military, famine should be prepared for it, and should not be fully collected by the people when dealing with it." This is the purpose of establishing the inner warehouse.

When the Yuanfeng New Library, which was established in the past two years, belongs to the category of the internal warehouse. "The five seasons lost their maps, and the master of art created a country, and thought of punishing Ai. So he set up an inner palace to recruit scholars. His great-grandson protected him, and dared not forget his ambitions?' The thirty-two Yuanfeng Library named with each character in this four-character poem is to prepare for the military expenses for the future attack on Liao.

In addition, because the imperial court had no money, it often reached out to borrow money from the inner warehouse. In essence, the inner warehouse also belongs to a part of the national treasury. When the two governments and the three officials wanted to ask for money, they were always justified.

The emperor was unwilling to accept this. Therefore, the internal warehouses were all under the eunuchs and the outside court was not allowed to intervene. Emperor Zhenzong even issued an edict clearly that he would not inquire about how much money the emperor had in his private pocket, and it was strictly prohibited to leak internally. "The imperial warehouses were specialized and subordinates, and the warehousing was not allowed to provide insurance for the warehousing and external legends. Violators would be executed.

This time when the war between the Song and Liao dynasties started, the internal warehouse also paid as usual. In less than half a year, nearly four million chunks were spent, most of which were military expenses and half were loans to the three departments. When the war started, the money was spent like flowing water, and it was empty all at once.

Of course, this is related to the lack of peace days since Zi ascended the throne today. Tuotu Hengshan in the fourth year of Xining, Hehuang Kaibian in the fifth year of Xining, the seventh year of Xining, the eighth year of the world drought locusts, the nineth year of Xining, and the tenth year of the southern expedition. After entering Yuanfeng, the battle of Pingxia and the just-concluded confrontation with the Liao Kingdom.

It is natural to not be able to save money in such a struggle. The country's financial plan has been maintained until now, thanks to the strong foundation of the Song Dynasty. On the other hand, it is also the result of the new law.

Now that the peace agreement has been decided, the Song and Liao dynasties have restored their old alliance and were going to reward the three armies, Song Yongchen, who was in charge of the inner warehouse, took out two million silver and silk and spread his hands and said that only the cosmetics money for the harem were left.

When the war began in the north, the two governments coaxed and deceived each other and got the account books of the inner warehouse from the queen. Although it was just a copy, it was no longer like in the past. They only heard the report of the inner warehouse every month. The actual situation was confused and they didn't even know how much money they could borrow. Looking at the account books at this time, Song Yongchen was not saying a lie.

The prime ministers gathered together for two days and decided to withdraw the insufficient reward from the left warehouse and offset the loan from the inward warehouse on the books.

However, when Lu Jia asked about demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall, he finally squeezed out the rewards given to the three armies from the necessary daily expenses. He was about to take a break, but he heard that he would still have to spend 300,000 yuan of silk and exchange the silk for money, which was a total of nearly 500,000 yuan of additional expenses.

Let me ask Lu Jia how to avoid jumping? Fortunately, he helped the queen, "The queen said that the inner palace can save a little, and the rewards given to the soldiers of the three armies cannot be saved. This time, thanks to the Queen Shengming..."

Zhang Dun shook his head.
