Rebirth and Transmigration: The Film and Television Entanglement System

Chapter 286

We all need to understand that although the current territory of the Zhou Dynasty has not reached the heyday of the previous dynasty.

But even so, in such a large court now, just the monthly salary to the court officials, as well as the cost of repairing the infrastructure of various projects, is already an astronomical figure.

And if this was somewhere in the Zhou Dynasty, there would be some floods, droughts, or other disasters, or there would be some war on the border.

Then the court naturally needs something else, which is to come up with a sum of money for disaster relief or military expenses.

So let's be honest, in the heart of the new emperor, what worried him the most before was that in his imperial study room, he saw people from all over the country, or from various yamen in Shenjing City. He reaches out to ask for a memorial of silver.

But obviously, even though he himself didn't want to see it.

But as an emperor, for the sake of the long-term stability of the court, no matter how unwilling he is in his heart, he has to force himself to deal with it patiently in the future.

Now that I think about it carefully, this may be the fundamental reason why the new emperor has bad thoughts about the nobles in Shenjing City who constantly borrow money from the treasury.

"Well——; yes, after having this large sum of money, it is not only the expenses of the imperial court, but it can also be a little easier."

"And even if the imperial court needs to use troops for a long time in the future, it can be regarded as having some protection."

"The most important thing is that according to what Jia Aiqing said in the memorial, the current amount of money is actually only the first amount of money he has received from his trip to the south of the Yangtze River."

"In the future, after he has dealt with the other gang members of the rebels and the fixed assets, the amount of money should still increase somewhat."

Yes, when it comes to the matter of silver, the Supreme Emperor actually has some feelings in his heart.

After all, this is the actual person in power of the Zhou Dynasty today.

In fact, the life that the Supreme Emperor lived before was not much easier than that of the new Emperor.

"Hehehe; yes, Father, the silver that Jia Aiqing mentioned in the memorial actually refers to the cash they seized this time."

"If this happens in the future, then if we include the shops, land, and various antique jewelry and other properties they seized."

"Then the emperor estimates that this seizure by Jia Aiqing alone should be worth five years of our country's tax."

"Hey——;Father, to be honest, when the emperor was here before, I really didn't expect it."

"A few rebels and squires in this area can actually have such wealth that is unparalleled in the country."

"Hmph——;Who said it's not the case?"

"This is what I had in mind when I saw Jia Aiqing's memorial, and I was shocked."

"I am almost certain now that this is to obtain these money and provide funds for their rebellion."

"Those rebels must have used all kinds of tricks to steal things before."

"By the way, Your Majesty; now it seems that after Jia Aiqing comes back, the Jiangnan incident should be able to come to an end."

"There is another issue in the future, and we may have to think about it carefully."

"Your Majesty, you also know that as a king, when you treat your ministers, you must make a clear distinction between good and punishment."

"Well——; Now that Jia Aiqing is in Jiangnan, she has made such a contribution."

"Then I wonder how you are going to reward him in the future?"

"Ah——; this——?"

"Hey——Father, to be honest, regarding this issue, the Emperor actually has some headaches at this time."

"After all, Father, you also know that Jia Aiqing is now a third-class marquis of the imperial court."

"And according to the regulations of this dynasty, officials with foreign surnames cannot be knighted unless they have military merit."

"Well——; although if we count this, Jia Aiqing's "counterinsurgency" in Jiangnan can be regarded as having some military merits."

"But obviously, from the current point of view, his military achievements should not be enough to enhance his current title." "So from the perspective of the emperor, this title or something, the emperor will be in the future , then it shouldn’t be possible to promote him any further.”

"Well——; Prince, you are right. If this is according to the regulations of this dynasty, then Jia Aiqing's current title cannot be improved."

"After all, if there is really going to be a national war in the future, then if he is such a good general, I will naturally send him to the battlefield."

"So this is to avoid that in the future, his title will be unentitled."

"Well——; let's do this; this time, of course, I can't give him his own title or anything like that."

"But as compensation for him, I think you can give his future children the title of Captain Yunqi in the future."

"Hehehe; Father's Holy Order, Son Emperor thinks your method is very clever."

"Well——; It's just that my father, if Jia Aiqing's contribution this time is just a small Yunqi Lieutenant, isn't that not enough to reward him for his contribution?"

Yes, not to mention that Chen Fan was in Jiangnan this time, it was also ahead of schedule, and he eliminated the doubtful "rebels".

This is for the money equivalent to five years of national taxation. The title of Yunqi Lieutenant is obviously not enough to reward him.

"Well——; yes; since this is a title, we can't promote him anymore."

"Then the remaining rewards can naturally only come from official positions and money."

"This money is easy to say. After Jia Aiqing comes back from Jiangnan, we will naturally not be short of money in a short period of time."

"But this official position has become another problem."

"After all, at Jia Aiqing's age, she is still a little too young."

"And now he has the official position of Minister of War."

"So in the future, if we promote him to an official position, won't he become a minister in the future?"

"Obviously, with his current age and prestige, the civil servants in this court will obviously not agree."

"Hmm——; As for adding the official position of military attache to him in the future, it is obviously not very appropriate."

"After all, he already has the military position of Commander-in-Chief of Three Thousand Battalions."

"If he were to be promoted further, he would have to be appointed as the governor of the Beijing camp."

"No; no; even though Jia Aiqing is in the army, she still has some prestige."

"But this is for his future consideration. We will not be able to do this in the future."

"Hey - Your Majesty, to be honest, I am a little worried about how to reward him in the future."

Yes, it is obvious that at this time, even the Supreme Emperor himself does not know how he should reward Jia Lian in the future.

"Hey——Father, if this really doesn't work, then I think that after Jia Aiqing comes back, we can give him a slightly higher rank, the title of a distinguished officer."

"Well——; By the way, Father, I remember that Jia Aiqing should still have no heirs now."

"And the Emperor remembers that Jia Aiqing is in the house now, and she only has one wife and one concubine."

"Hehehe; Father, do you think we can reward him from this aspect in the future?"

"Ah——? How to reward him in this way?"

"Hmm - Your Majesty, do you mean that we can grant Jia Aiqing a marriage in the future?"

Obviously, the Supreme Emperor quickly understood what he meant after listening to the new emperor's words.
