Zhuang Chengyi's face turned dark at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If they just wanted to kill the Jin Kingdom, then it would be almost time to take out a million stakes of treasure money from the treasury. After all, the military expenditure of the Privy Council has been approved this year, which is enough for them to fight a few battles to destroy the country.

But if the officials want to command the army in person, it will not be a million yuan.

This involves a noun, a noun.

The emperor personally led the army to fight, and at least the imperial guards had to be in the way, the imperial guards were guarding the center, and all civil and military officials had to send personnel to follow the journey. Local officials should prepare for reception, and they should prepare all food, drink, clothing and use. Moreover, it is impossible for them to do nothing but marching along the way, right? With the current official family's temperament, he would be exempted from taxes wherever he went. If he didn't go well, he would have to give some money, wine and meat.

In addition to the expenses along the way, when fighting with Jin Lu, you have to spend even more money. Learn about the amount of Jingkang ammunition that the killers in the army talk about? Learn about the concept of artillery cleaning?

All the fuck was proposed by the official!

To put it bluntly, the Privy Council sent generals to lead troops to the expedition and had to consider the issue of ammunition supply. The official army would only consider how to blow it up. The original plan of one million guan was probably several times more than it would have been.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Chengyi simply bowed and said, "You are the one who has a son of a thousand gold medal. He doesn't sit in the Chutang, just a mere Jinyi. If you send a general to lead the troops, you can destroy it. Why do you need the official to lead the troops personally with the honor of ten thousand chariots? Besides, the national treasury now..."

"If your treasury has no money, I can let the treasury be distributed."

Zhao Huan interrupted Zhuang Chengyi with a smile and said, "I know that the treasury is empty, so empty that it is either a rat or a horse, and even an elephant can run away, so I understand the difficulties of the treasury."

Zhuang Chengyi suddenly felt something was wrong.

The sarcasm in the tone of the official family didn't matter, and he thought he was praising the Secretary of the State, but the battle to destroy the Jin Dynasty was a national war after all, so it was not the official's turn to take money out of the treasury, right? The official family didn't know how much money there was in the treasury.

Besides, the name of the Pixiu of the Minister of Revenue is somewhat untrue. The treasury in the hands of the government is really just in the money. If you say that the treasury is rich, it is really rich. However, the treasury has always been halfway to the treasury to allocate funds to the Royal Academy. The government is reluctant to even build a garden. Can he be willing to pay for the treasury to work in the Jin Kingdom?

As he was thinking about it, Zhuang Chengyi suddenly felt a light of inspiration from Tianling Gai, and how could it feel like he was enlightened? It seemed that the official family had said that there was a gold mine in Liaodong in the early years!

OK, I said, why are you suddenly willing to use the money from the treasury to attack the Jin Kingdom? It turns out that you are targeting the gold mine in Liaodong!

If the treasury does not pay the money to fight the Jin Kingdom, then after you conquer the Jin Kingdom, should you say that the money spent on the Jin Kingdom is the treasury, so this gold mine should also belong to the treasury?

If you are playing such a little thought in front of this Shangshu, you are afraid that you are not thinking about eating peaches!

"The treasury has money!"

Zhuang Chengyi said confidently: "I have saved up some money for so many years, and two million chunks of money should not be a problem."

Li Gang looked at Zhuang Chengyi, who was rich in the treasury, felt as if he had been trampled by tens of thousands of horses for no reason, and was confused in the mess.

Before entering the palace just now, this village Pixiu seemed to have said the four words "The Treasury has no money"? Just now, he seemed to have said it again?

This Pixiu has always been a stingy person who wants to eat it. Why is he so stingy all of a sudden?

Also, can you only consider the issue of money when destroying gold? What about face? Don’t think about face?

It would be easy to send people to lead troops to the expedition. At that time, it would be fine to find any messy excuses, even if the wild boars from the Jin Kingdom came over to destroy the farmlands of the Song Dynasty, but it seemed that the officials were determined to be in charge of the imperial army, what kind of reason should they find?

The emperor personally led his troops to fight, and the emperor still wanted to fight a war to destroy the country. If there is no reason to be justified, wouldn’t it leave any stain on the history books?

Thinking of this, Li Gang simply stopped hiding it, but bowed and said, "I think I can ask the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites to think of a reliable reason first."

Zhao Huan laughed and asked, "I want to hit him, do you need any reason?"

"How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? Is this reason enough?"

"Is this reason enough for the Jin army to betray the alliance and invade the south, and the troops encircle Bianjing, disrespect the Celestial Kingdom and harming our people of the Song Dynasty?"

"I am the emperor of the Han family, inheriting the hometown of the Han and Tang dynasties and sending troops to recover the four counties of Liaodong, the Han family. Is this reason enough?"

"If these reasons are not enough, then I suspect that the Jin Dynasty illegally develops and possesses weapons of mass destruction. Is this reason enough?"

Li Gang thought to himself that this is all messy

How can you let others sleep soundly on the side of the bed? This sentence was said by Emperor Taizu when he wanted to kill the Southern Tang Dynasty. Now you just use it without changing a word?

There is indeed a case of Jin Lu’s rebellion, but if you really want to investigate it, I’m afraid the Emperor will not pay attention to it for now?

It is a pity that the reason why the Han emperor took over the hometown of the Han and Tang dynasties was said to be arguably the reason, but what is the excuse for the weapon of mass destruction behind it?

If muskets and cannons can be regarded as weapons of mass destruction, then the little firearm technology in the Jin Kingdom seems to have been learned from our Song Dynasty? It seems that the officials sent someone to teach Jin Lu to add saltpeter in gunpowder, right?

So, in the final analysis, all the reasons are the only ones you said at the beginning, "What other reason do you need to hit him?", right?

Li Gang vaguely understood why the official family was more powerful than the emperor and even more powerful than so many emperors in history.

Although the emperor is "fresh and cannot rule the world", the emperor still needs some face. You don't want any face at all!?

"Okay, the matter of destroying gold is settled for now."

Just as Li Gang was secretly complaining, Zhao Huan made arbitrary decision: "Go to our monarch and ministers tomorrow to see the steam locomotives. After returning, we will leave the prince to supervise the country, the empress dowager and the queen behind the curtain, Li Qing and Zhuang Qing assist in the government, and I will lead a large army to fight."

"Li Qing, Zhuang Qing, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Personnel are ready for the corresponding preparations."
