Chapter 132 The Queen Arrives 21
Where is Chen Jia at this moment?
Chen Jia is in the national treasury!
General Huang Ce returned victoriously from suppressing bandits, and the treasures he escorted back to Beijing were delivered to the national treasury in boxes like water.
Chen Jia naturally wanted to see such a grand occasion.
Although the national treasury could not be misappropriated easily, Chen Jia's heart was filled with joy when he saw such a spacious storehouse filled with treasures.
These bandits have occupied the mountain for many years, robbing homes and committing all kinds of evil. They have done so many things that have angered heaven and man that they have accumulated so many boxes of rare treasures.
Now, they have all been confiscated.
Chen Jia walked around the treasury with a smile on her face. Eunuch Lu directed the eunuch beside him to register all the treasures that General Huang Ce sent into the treasury.
Of course, the Minister of Revenue Zhou Zhu also followed His Majesty.
Eunuch Lu registered Eunuch Lu, and Zhou Zhu also had to register him. Only after both parties verified that they were correct could it be considered put into storage.
After that, all discrepancies must be checked by both parties on time. If one party is discrepant, it will be a serious crime punishable by death.
Zhou Zhu did not dare to delay, and he and his accompanying subordinates carefully checked the property and recorded them one by one in the book.
The new monarch is kind, but that doesn't mean the regent is easy to get along with.
During the period of mourning for the new monarch, the regent had dealt with a number of corrupt officials.
One third of the new wealth deposited into the national treasury came from the all-round and thorough searches of these corrupt officials.
Among them was Zhou Zhu’s immediate superior, the former Minister of Revenue.
If he hadn't turned the table over, how could Zhou Zhu, who had been pinned down by him, have gotten over it?
The immediate boss was severely punished by the Regent for corruption and received a package of beheading, property confiscation, and exile of the entire family.
This subordinate was promoted by the Regent to become the new Minister of Revenue.
There are quite a few officials like them who have turned a disaster into a blessing. Although they are not honest and incorruptible, at least they are loyal to their duties and dare not cross the bottom line.
They all have a consensus privately, that is, they must not fatten themselves up.
Otherwise, you will be making wedding clothes for others, sacrificing yourself to enrich the national treasury!
As a result, corruption in Kyoto and even throughout the country was curbed to a certain extent.
To some extent, it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people.
After counting all the income, Eunuch Lu took his men and Zhou Zhu and others to the side to check the details.
Chen Jia sat leisurely in the main seat, occasionally taking a sip or two of fragrant tea, feeling very comfortable.
"His Majesty--"
When the Regent received the news from the secret guards that His Majesty was counting the property escorted back by General Huang Ce in the national treasury, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Uncle, why are you here?" Chen Jia was a little surprised.
How could it not be surprising that this workaholic actually put down his work one day and came to see her!
Could it be something big happened?
Chen Jia immediately sat up straight, "Uncle, are you here to see me for something?"
The Regent paused and stopped in front of the Queen, five steps away from each other.
"I came here this time for something!" The Regent bowed and saluted. "I heard that Jialing Pass has been snowing for several days. The towering green mountains have long been covered with ice and snow. The soldiers guarding Jialing Pass have suffered from the severe cold and frost, and more and more soldiers have fallen... Therefore, General Yu Shinan requests that Your Majesty grant a batch of cold-resistant supplies to help the soldiers survive the winter."
Jialing Pass is located at the southernmost part of Blue Bird Country, where green mountains stretch out endlessly.
On the rolling mountain ridges, there is a great project - the Great Wall, which was built by several generations of kings of the Blue Bird Kingdom at the cost of countless national resources.
Yu Shinan was the general in charge of guarding the southern defense line. He was loyal and righteous.
Because of his uprightness, he is not very popular.
Among the four fortresses, he received the least annual military pay.
They also have to endure layers of exploitation, and when they get to the border, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
I was used to hard lives, but God had no mercy on me and the days became more and more difficult.
Yu Shinan could endure it, but the soldiers under him couldn't!
He had no choice but to write a letter to the court for help.
It took four or five days for the Regent to receive the letter. Yu Shinan’s predicament must have been even more serious.
"so serious!"
Chen Jia's face was heavy. These fallen soldiers were all defending the border for the country, and he couldn't help feeling heartbroken.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to delay the purchase of cold-resistant supplies," the Regent suggested.
"This matter really should not be delayed. Not only must the cold-weather supplies be sent as soon as possible, but they must also be fully prepared!" Chen Jia did not hesitate and immediately entrusted the important task, "Prepare all the cold-weather cotton clothes, food, medicine, etc., and you will be responsible for it, uncle."
Now it was the regent's turn to be surprised.
He glanced at the resolute expression of the queen, and vaguely saw some of the old king's style.
He was a decisive and murderous emperor!
The Regent curled his lips, full of expectations for the future queen.
Right now, he has more important things to do.
"I will obey your command!" The Regent accepted the order.
As soon as the Minister of Revenue Zhou Zhu came out after checking the details, he was faced with the bad news that the goods were about to be shipped out of the warehouse.
His lips trembled as he boldly questioned, "The border is in danger and there is no time to lose. The transportation of supplies is indisputable, but the amount is huge and the national treasury can handle it... But Your Majesty, do you remember the other three border cities? It's almost time to pay them!"
It's not that he is stingy. Even if the national treasury is abundant, it cannot withstand the consumption of millions of soldiers in the four fortresses.
Moreover, the salaries of officials at all levels of the court and other expenses...
Everything costs money!
It's not that there is no way to deal with it, it's just that -
The Regent raised his eyes and watched the lady's reaction.
Chen Jia's expression became even more serious.
I never expected that with so much money in the treasury, we were still stretched to the limit!
She took a deep breath, calmed down, and said to Zhou Zhu: "What you said is not without reason, but the border defense line is related to the country's foundation. It is a blessing for the country that the soldiers guarding the border are safe and sound. They have been stationed at the border without complaint and have not returned home for several years. I cannot let the soldiers down at this moment!"
"Your Majesty..." Zhou Zhu knew that he could not persuade the stubborn Majesty, and the powerful Regent was watching him covetously.
"Your Majesty, I obey your command!" Zhou Zhu said this and obediently went to work overtime with Eunuch Lu.
Looking at it from another perspective, Your Majesty is benevolent to the people and compassionate to your subjects, which is their luck!
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry." Seeing the queen's gloomy face, the regent couldn't help but speak, "I assure you that the treasury will not be empty. I have a way to fill it up!"
"Uncle, you are like my second parents!" Chen Jia's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he flattered the emperor skillfully. "Uncle, you are like Zhuge Liang in the world. No matter how big the problem is, you can solve it easily. I really admire you!"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this..." There is absolutely no need to do this!
The Regent struggled to resist the Queen's sudden passion; he couldn't handle it!
Looking at the calm back of the Regent, Chen Jia felt that this royal uncle was truly a rare and down-to-earth person!
It is a blessing for Bluebird Country and her to have him around!
