Chapter 1026

"The annual tax revenue of our Song Dynasty has now reached more than 43.2 million guan, but the expenditure is increasing year by year. I remember that when I ascended the throne, my tax revenue was only more than 40 million guan, but my surplus was close to one million guan."

"For now, tax revenue has increased by nearly three million guan, but the surplus has not increased but decreased, and there is only 170,000 guan left?"

Emperor Zhao Xu was in a bad mood, quite bad, with a gloomy face, and glanced at the gang of civil and military officials who looked serious and innocent.

"So starting this year, my Song Dynasty can save about four million coins. I wonder where are you going to use these million coins?"

"..." Wenjing, very quiet, and no ministers spoke. After all, no one was willing to touch the bad intentions of the Emperor of Song Dynasty at this time.

Money will eventually be spent. In the end, you will think of new names and spend these spare money. Of course, it will definitely be spent in a legitimate name.

Of course, as important officials of the Song Dynasty, they would at least make some money. It is normal for human nature. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has always been like this. However, it is certainly impossible for everyone to express such unspoken rules.

Emperor Zhao Xu, apart from complaining, had no good idea about this. After all, this is the case with the Song Dynasty. No matter how prosperous the country is, these guys always have a way to spend all the taxes in the court to orderly and properly.

But the question is, what is this guy Wang Wushan trying to do? Building a college and cultivating sentiment. This is OK, or it makes sense if you let someone teach and educate people.

But you really let those students learn about business and business. Isn’t this a typical case of looking for trouble? Emperor Zhao Xu looked at these three memorials and felt very painful. The sound of the self-ringing bell came from his ears.

It seemed that since he got used to listening, he didn't feel anything. He subconsciously looked up and glanced at the ringing bell. It was just noon that the bell began to ring. When the first time he started ringing, Ma Shang walked in from outside the door of the Imperial Study room and asked where the emperor would use lunch.

Before the emperor could answer, the beautiful image of the queen Meng appeared outside the imperial study room. Behind him were a large group of people, two wet nurses were pushing a stroller, and in the car, the blood of the emperor Zhao Xu was lying.

The eldest son of the emperor, Zhao Shu, and the eldest daughter of the emperor, Zhao Chun.

"Zi Tong is here, why did you bring them out?" After the emperor Zhao Xu said hello, his eyes naturally fell on the two little guys with jade carvings.

"The weather is very warm today, so I want to take them out to do activities and bask in the sun. It's just noon. I don't know if you have a meal at the official house, so I came here to take a look..." Queen Meng looked at the emperor Zhao Xu, who was squatting in front of the stroller and looking at the pair of children with kindness.

"That happens, Ma Shang, I and the Queen are having a meal in the imperial study room, so let them hurry up." Emperor Zhao Xu gently slammed the pink face of his familiar daughter. The little guy smashed his mouth, twisted his head in disgust, and continued to sleep in the other direction.

The emperor Zhao Xu was so amused that he pushed the exquisite stroller into the imperial study room. Queen Meng quickly noticed the letter with the ink on the desk.

"Your Majesty, you are..."

"Wang Wushan established a school on the North Shaanxi Road, but this school does not teach sages, but only allows the students to read, and specializes in learning superficial business. Therefore, they were impeached by the censors." Emperor Zhao Xu sighed helplessly.

"I am helpless, so I want to ask Wang Wushan and let him defend himself."

Queen Meng nodded suddenly. "With Mr. Wushan's talent, it's nothing to teach and educate people, but why did he only let people learn the business of industry and commerce instead of studying the Four Books and Five Classics hard? This is indeed very strange."

"So, I decided to throw this question to him and let him answer it himself." Emperor Zhao Xu smiled and his eyebrows were quite proud. Although he was sure that Wang Yang would do this, it must be reasonable.

However, he really couldn't figure out what the reason was, so he simply let Wang Wushan solve it himself.

There were delicious dishes on the table, and the couple chatted without saying a word while eating. Although they could be regarded as the most powerful couple in the world, they rarely had such leisure time.

The emperor Zhao Xu was eating and habitually began to complain about the civil and military ministers in the court. The queen Meng carefully brought food to Emperor Zhao Xu, listened with a smile, and occasionally accompanied the two sentences, which made the scene look warm and harmonious.

"Oh, it's hard for the emperor to be. Now, I have only been in power for more than a year, and I have been able to understand the troubles of my father back then. Each of the ministers has his own ideas and is very selfish. They even regard the taxes and sweat of the people of the world as a piece of fat, and make various names..."

"This is actually why the late emperor was determined to reform. Now, you inherit the will of the late emperor. I believe that the Song Dynasty will definitely get better and better." After the queen Meng nodded, she said warmly to the emperor Zhao Xu.

"This is naturally. Although I know that if I want to cultivate my own team, I can only do everything slowly and I can't be anxious. However, when facing these guys every day, I always have a thought in my heart, and I wish I could beat these bastards who were right and wronged like Wang Wushan to relieve my anger."

Hearing the emperor's words, Queen Meng rolled her eyes invisibly, shook her head slightly, and looked at her beloved husband with loving eyes, but her expression and gaze were like an elder sister caring for her naughty little brother.

"Those censors actually attacked the school, not the bank, which was a bit beyond my expectations. After all, compared to this, the bank's role and influence were actually greater." After Queen Meng retreated her gaze, she said curiously.

Emperor Zhao Xu was also stunned and laughed. "You are right, but if Wang Wushan had not explained the banking matter so much to me in detail, I would have never thought that the role of this thing could play would be more powerful than the ten Qingmiao Laws."

"But that's good, haha, these guys just picked up sesame seeds and threw watermelons. OK, very good. Fortunately, Zitong, you reminded me."

"Two days ago, Wang Wushan also mentioned this matter in his letter, saying that by the end of this month, a total of 1,200 poor households arrived at Shaanxi North Road, signed agricultural loans, and became the people of the six prefectures of Shaanxi North Road."
