After being reborn as Wang Baochuan's sister, she decided not to persuade her

Chapter 50 Please pay and pay for hard work

Wang Yinchuan was happy, "Don't be poor. Even if you are not afraid of them, military expenditure is an important matter. I went to the military camp a few days ago and saw that the food, clothing and housing of the soldiers were too difficult. It is now late autumn, and some people

I don’t even have a cotton-padded coat, which is really sad.”

Wei Tingwu wiped his Pojun and mentioned the clothes of the soldiers in the barracks. The sarcasm in his eyes disappeared, just like the ice disappearing after snow. Then for just a moment, he lowered his head, lazily wiped Pojun and said,

"The excuse of the Ministry of Revenue is that the treasury is empty, and all the money will be used to maintain the expenses of the soldiers on the border. In addition, in the autumn of a few days, as for the military camp in the imperial city, we will have to give way later."

The war on the border is tense, and war will come at any time. Therefore, the national treasury does allocate funds to support the soldiers on the border. However, no one knows how much of it has been swallowed up.

Wang Yinchuan blinked his eyes and said, "The layers of exploitation have been around for a long time. It is precisely because this job is lucrative that some people are willing to do it. It is just like tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall, they always want to get something out of it.

Yes, if you can't get it from here, you have to get it from somewhere else. After all, it's still a human problem."

This is also the reason why she wants to support Xue Wen.

There are too many cunning and cunning people in the court, and there are too many people who want to play both sides. It is time for someone like Xue Wen, who is as upright and unyielding as a tree, to be as stupid as a bamboo.

Wei Ting said, "There is nothing wrong with the excuse of the Ministry of Revenue. We don't know when something will happen in the border area right now, so we have to make some preparations. As for Qiu Wei, it is indeed another big event."

These two are the two major things in the present period of the Great Suffering, and both require a lot of money.

I heard that for this reason, the emperor has begun to take the lead in implementing the policy of "frugaling food and clothing". The palace has begun to be frugal, and the people below have also restrained themselves a lot. However, secretly, there is still a group of swallows dancing and singing songs.

, low-key and luxurious appearance.

Let's not talk about others, just talk about Wang Yun. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone used to approve official documents every day, including the ink pads, are all top-notch and cannot be bought for a lot of money.

It is impossible to save money just by being frugal.

The most important thing is to make money.

Wang Yinchuan estimated that after the autumn period, when the treasury was extremely empty, the emperor would inevitably start collecting donations and extract some money from the officials in the court.

It was like this in the previous life. After the autumn period, the decree was passed down from above. Wang Yun was the first to bear the brunt and donated 10,000 taels. He took the lead, and naturally the people below also donated some.

But 10,000 taels is just a drop in the bucket to Wang Yun. Just the rare antiques in the Prime Minister's Mansion are priceless. There are many people below who can come up with so many, but few are willing to donate them.

Wang Yun donated so much, and the people below followed suit by donating thousands and thousands of taels, as neatly as according to rank. Although it was an urgent need, it was still difficult to deal with the huge expenses of the great suffering.

That’s all.

Wang Yinchuan said, "It's getting cold, so the soldiers in the military camp should wear thicker clothes and eat some hot soup."

Wei Ting's broken army seemed to be shining under the bright lights, and the bone-chilling cold light was like the biting cold wind in the middle of winter, like a sword, making people shudder.

Wang Yinchuan's voice was so soft that Wei Ting didn't hear it even though he had very good ears.

As autumn enters, the weather becomes colder and colder.

In the morning, Wang Yinchuan put on a double-breasted gown to cover up the chill.

The two brothers had already gone to the military camp. They always got up early and set off before dawn.

Wang Yinchuan ate some food alone. At noon, Butler Liu suddenly handed over a letter, "Madam, it was sent from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

On the rice paper at the Prime Minister's Office, the envelope was sealed with wax, and a few round words on it said, "Yours truly, Miss."

It's the handwriting of Forsythia.

When Forsythia first came to the house, she was still young. She had nothing to do, so he taught her how to read and calligraphy. Although she was not proficient in it, she could still write a few words.

Wang Yinchuan waved his hand, and Butler Liu handed the letter to her and then withdrew.

She opened the envelope and found only one letter, with two short lines of words on it, and the handwriting was a bit sloppy and hurried.

Wang Yinchuan glanced at it and saw the contents of the envelope.

In fact, she didn't need to read it at all. She folded the letter, put it into the envelope, lit the incense on hand and threw it in.

Just as she expected, even if Xue Pinggui's conspiracy was revealed this time, Wang Baochuan still could not completely wake up.

What the letter said was that there was a lot of drama in the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning. Wang Yun asked Wang Baochuan to cut off contact with Xue Pinggui as soon as possible and find another son-in-law as soon as possible. However, Wang Baochuan refused, and the father and daughter quarreled again.

Mrs. Wang was in the middle to protect Wang Baochuan. Wang Yun was so angry that he went to the government office angrily. But Wang Baochuan didn't know what method he used, and sent someone to send a letter to Xue Pinggui. When Forsythia found out, Xue Pinggui's letter

It has been passed to Wang Baochuan.

In desperation, she could only report it to Wang Yinchuan.

Wang Yinchuan leaned on his arm and had a pile of Wei Ting's official documents in his hand. He picked up a piece of paper and wrote, "Take good care of the third lady."

With just one sentence, it was as if Wang Baochuan had really started to let Wang Baochuan go and no longer cared about her marriage.

Wang Yinchuan spent the whole morning reading documents in his study and sorted out all the official documents submitted to the Ministry of Household Affairs for military expenditures.

In just ten days, there were already eight letters.

Five letters were politely rejected by the Ministry of Revenue, and three letters were overtly and covertly asking for compensation.

The amount varied, and the military expenditure also dropped from ten thousand taels at the beginning, and then dropped again. By the last letter, it had dropped to five thousand taels.

However, the Ministry of Household Affairs only needs two thousand taels for the security fee.

In other words, the two thousand taels of greeting expenses must be paid in advance. Let’s not talk about whether the military expenditure can be actually allocated. Even if the ten thousand taels are really allocated, two thousand taels of hard work expenses must be extracted from it.

In the end, only six thousand taels were actually in the hands of the military camp.

Even so, the Ministry of War above would inevitably have to spare one thousand taels.

Five thousand taels, half of which was eaten alive.

So it’s not unreasonable for Wei Ting to sometimes like to use fists to solve problems.

Some people, even if they are facing a powerful enemy and their lives are almost gone, they still want to extract their own benefits from it. It seems that as long as they live well alone, the hardships and sufferings of others in the world have nothing to do with them.

For the rest, there were several applications submitted within three days. It was probably because of a headache that Wei Ting put them aside and has not approved them for a long time.

Wang Yinchuan picked it up and looked at it, and found that the official documents were even more humble.

The minimum this time was two thousand taels.

The official document was written with sincerity, and every word was filled with tears. The ink was smudged, and it was obvious that he was crying. The first page is the officer's narration.
