Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

Chapter 95 The treasury is empty?

Hall of Longevity.

Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair and carefully looked at the memorial on the dragon case.

The Lonely Sword Demon arrives within an hour, and Li Si can use this time to review several more memorials.

The way of the emperor lies in diligent administration!

Li Si knew very well in his heart that, as a qualified emperor, he not only needed to be ambitious, but also to be diligent in political affairs!

Just as Li Si was looking at the memorial, the Minister of the Household once again asked to see him outside the hall.

"Xuan!"

Li Si frowned slightly.

After the Minister of Household had just completed the land inventory and reported to the emperor, Li Si asked him to implement the new land system.

Now, it hasn't been long, why is it back?

The Minister of Hu walked into the Hall of Longevity, bowed and saluted, "I have seen Your Majesty."

"Be flat!"

Li Si put down his memorial and looked at the minister of the household: "What's the matter with Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen just left the palace, checked the treasury, and found that my Great Tang treasury is almost empty..."

The Minister of the Ministry of Commerce looked at the emperor cautiously and said.

"The treasury is empty?"

Li Si frowned and looked at the minister of households.

He never imagined that the Minister of Hu came to the palace again for this matter.

"How much money is left in the treasury?"

"Report to Your Majesty, less than two or three million taels of silver!"

As soon as the Ministry of Housing Minister's voice fell, Li Si's eyes changed.

Li Si did not expect that this amount of money was left in the Tang treasury now.

When Li Sigang ascended the throne, there were four million taels of silver left in the Tang treasury.

However, Li Si immediately abolished the prime minister Yuan Zai, and from the prime minister's mansion, he found the equivalent of 50 million taels of silver.

Since then, Datang's treasury has skyrocketed to 54 million taels of silver.

In addition, Li Si cleaned the court several times, and dozens of officials had their homes searched and their properties confiscated.

Datang's treasury almost has nearly 60 million taels of silver.

Li Si originally thought that the 60 million taels of silver could at least be squandered for two or three years.

It's just that, in the past three months, only 3 million taels are left of the 60 million taels...

"Anyone else embezzled?"

Li Si looked cold and said in a cold voice.

Hearing this, the Minister of the Household said immediately, "Reporting to Your Majesty, during this time, all the transfers of the treasury and silver money came from His Majesty's hand..."

"Your Majesty, during the time when Wei Chen left, His Majesty allocated more than one million taels of silver to the Ministry of Industry, as well as officials' salaries, and the follow-up of the disaster in Shu..."

"Of course, the main cost of this is the war with the Turkic country."

"60 million taels of silver, at least 50 million taels, spent on war consumption..."

The Minister of Accounts quickly explained.

Throughout the dynasties, no matter how rich a country is, as long as there is war together, the silver flows away like water.

Although, the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks ended with the crushing of the Turks by the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that, no matter how much it's crushed, the cost of silver money has no end at all.

During the war, the weapons of the soldiers, the mobilization of food and grass, and the pensions after the death of the soldiers are all real gold and silver!

Can't save at all!

Li Si leaned slightly on the throne of the dragon chair and had a headache.

Although, he reformed the land system, collected taxes by mu, and forced those aristocratic families to pay taxes, but the tax was once a year.

It will take effect as soon as next year.

But the Datang treasury is now empty...

Li Siyou thought about arresting a group of officials,

Then the house was seized and confiscated, but if the emperor really did this, I am afraid that people in the court would be really panicked in the future.

Not worth the loss!

The Minister of Accounts bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen can delay this month's salary..."

"inappropriate."

Hearing this, Li Si shook his head slightly.

If the salaries of officials are really deducted, who will serve the court sincerely in the future?

Just when the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce was thinking about countermeasures, the eunuch came in.

The eunuch came to the emperor's side and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, someone outside is asking to see you..."

Upon seeing this, the Minister of Accountability said with great interest: "Report to Your Majesty, Wei Chen will retire first."

After the minister of households left.

The valet eunuch also exited the Hall of Longevity.

soon.

A black-robed man slowly walked into the Hall of Longevity.

The black-robed man looked extremely ordinary, but Li Si felt a monstrous sword intent from the other side.

In Li Si's view, the man in black robe was not so much a person, but a sword.

A magic sword that can kill all beings in the world!

Lonely Sword Demon!

"The grass people have seen His Majesty!"

When the black-robed man saw Li Si, he knelt down on one knee, and his voice was strong, as if sharp swords were colliding!

Li Si looked at the Lonely Sword Demon.

The Lonely Sword Demon gave Li Si the feeling that he had completely abandoned human nature.

In the eyes of the Dugu Sword Demon, there is only the sword!

Even, the Lonely Sword Demon itself is a magic sword.

However, at this moment, this magic sword has a master!

Li Si looked at the Lonely Sword Demon and nodded slightly.

Today, under Li Si, there are a total of four gods and demons.

Two first-level gods and demons, two second-level gods and demons.

It can be said that the power under Li Si's control at this moment has surpassed that of the Tang Dynasty.

You know, even when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty flourished, there were only three gods and demons in the palace of the Tang Dynasty...

Li Si is far from the prosperity of Xuanzong, and what he lacks is nothing more than comprehensive national strength...

"Get up."

"Since then, you will stay by my side and sit in the palace all year round!"

Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair and said.

"Grass people follow their orders!"

Sword Demon Dugu got up, stepped out, and disappeared in place.

Li Si knew that at this moment, the Sword Demon Dugu was in the Hall of Longevity, guarding the emperor's safety at all times.

With the Dugu Sword Demon sitting in the palace, Li Si believes that under the whole world, there is probably no one who can sneak into the palace without a sound...

In fact, Li Si felt in his heart that if the Lonely Sword Demon slashed a sword with all his strength, even the tyrants would have to avoid three points.

"I don't know, Xiongba's three-point return to vitality, and Dugu Sword Demon's Dugu Nineteen Swords, which is stronger or weaker..."

Li Si thought with interest.

At this time, Cao Zhengchun returned to the palace to resume the decree.

Cao Zhengchun was ordered by the emperor to send the Turkic national teacher out of Chang'an. Now that the task is completed, he naturally has to come back.

"Your Majesty, the Turkic national division has now left Chang'an and returned to the Turkic grassland."

Cao Zhengchun said respectfully.

"Go back?"

Li Siwang said to Cao Zhengchun, "Did he tell you anything?"

When Cao Zhengchun heard the emperor's words, he immediately said: "The Turkic national teacher once told me that if he left like this, what would he do if he left?"

"It's interesting."

Li Si chuckled lightly.

If the Turkic national teacher really dares to do this, what awaits him is probably Bai Qi's pursuit...

Cao Zhengchun bowed slightly and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the old slave believes that the Turkic national teacher should not dare to have other ideas."

Li Si smiled slightly.

Li Si didn't care whether the Turkic national teacher had any ideas, Li Si cared about whether the Turkic national teacher could handle the things that Li Si explained. .

"Report to Your Majesty, this old slave has something to report!"

Cao Zhengchun said.
