Zombie travels through time and space to become the empress, who only wants to be a jerk and not att

But there is another problem. There are too many people selling their properties at the same time, and these shops cannot be sold at a high price.

Some people gritted their teeth and sold them at a low price.

Some people did not sell, but instead borrowed money from everywhere.

Since they couldn't borrow money from the Blue Sky Bank, they had to borrow from other banks.

They also need collateral.

Where can they get it?

There are two possible outcomes: either the original collateral becomes the property of the Blue Sky Bank, or the property is sold at a reduced price.

It was later discovered that the buyer after the price reduction was a businessman from Qing Country.

! ! ! !

"Too treacherous!"

It's no use for people to scold.

These are just a part of them, there are more of those opportunistic families.

They borrowed money from the Blue Sky Bank and then lent it to others, earning the interest difference.

Now that Blue Sky Bank wants to collect debts, they don't want to pay for it themselves, so they go and collect debts from others.

But how can we collect this?

In Yue State, a large number of shops were closed, half of the gardens were built, half of the restaurants were renovated, and half of the barren hills were reclaimed...

It seemed as if overnight, the State of Yue pressed the pause button.

When Xiao Yuanshuang received the news, he didn't take it seriously at all.

She is the emperor now. Is it worth her attention for such private money-lending activities to happen?

It was not until Hengyue Money House secretly sent a message that Hengyue Money House was out of money.

"Where's the silver?"

Xiao Yuanshuang knew very well that the national treasury was in deficit and the money was in the hands of the royal family and aristocratic families.

Hengyue Money House is the private treasury of the State of Yue. If Hengyue Money House is out of money, it means that the State of Yue is really out of money.

She is about to ascend the throne, and you tell me that the treasury is out of money?

The people from the Ministry of Revenue knelt on the ground tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the cost of the late emperor's national mourning, repaying the Hengyue Bank, comforting the people affected by the disaster, etc., all these are calculated..."

"There is less than 100,000 taels of silver left in the account."

One hundred thousand taels!

One hundred thousand taels!

Is this human talk?

Xiao Yuanshuang's head was buzzing and he urgently summoned the person in charge of Hengyue Bank.

But the person in charge came with a thick bill.

He knelt on the ground and said in a heavy tone, "Your Majesty, in the past thirty years, the court has borrowed a total of 1.15 billion taels from Hengyue Bank."

"The total repayment is 200 million taels. Even if we don't pay interest, the court still owes Hengyue Bank... 850 million taels."

“How can there be so many!!!”

Xiao Yuanshuang felt that this number was like a mountain, pressing her so hard that she couldn't breathe.

But she quickly adjusted her mentality and was just a little panicked.

She is now the empress of Qing Kingdom and will never let anyone control her.

She looked straight at the kneeling person in charge and said in a cold tone, "You mean, you want me to pay back the money I owe you for the past thirty years now?"

The person in charge trembled, "Your Majesty, what I mean is that Hengyue Bank has no money..."

"These silvers did not come out of thin air. They came from other noble families and from the people..."

It has to be changed sooner or later.

Xiao Yuanshuang told him to get out.

After going out, the person in charge secretly wiped his sweat, thinking it was really a risky move.

Lantian Money House suddenly came to collect debts, and Hengyue Money House was also affected. Hengyue Money House had no money either.

Moreover, he misappropriated the money in some way and somehow it was gone.

If the national treasury has no silver, it can borrow from Hengyue Money House. Previously, Hengyue Money House could borrow from other noble families. Anyway, there would be interest after it went through the national treasury, and a share of this interest would be given to the noble families.

He didn't panic.

But now, the wealthy families have no spare money.

Just when he was at a loss, someone from Blue Sky Bank came up with a solution.

Sure enough, after using this method, His Majesty became angry, but he did not behead him, because the messenger said that if he was beheaded, no one would take the blame.

So his life was saved.

What's next?

Alas, the person in charge walked out of the palace and let out a long sigh. The Kingdom of Yue...is finished.

The national treasury and Hengyue Bank were out of money, and this soon affected every aspect of the State of Yue.

By the end of the year, officials across the country had been in arrears in paying their salaries for three months, and many officials began to petition. What was going on?

The government had to sell off state assets to fill the hole.

Of course, these assets eventually fell into the hands of Qing State.

This was just the beginning. The government had no money to collect grain and the merchants had no money to hire workers, so those industries and shops that suddenly withdrew their investments were left alone.

The budget for Xiao Yuanshuang's coronation ceremony was reduced again and again and postponed again and again.

With 100,000 taels of silver, she dared not do anything and even used up all her own private money to subsidize the money.

The power of an individual is like a drop in the bucket in front of the country.

Even if she cut expenses again and again, she couldn't fill the hole.

She couldn't do anything with the little money she had.

The first to go on strike were some officials, then river transport and grain and salt, and finally the army...

"Your Majesty, I resign," the Minister of Personnel was the first to give in. If he didn't resign, his life would be in danger.

The officials urged him every day.

Then came the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War.

Looking at those resignation letters, Xiao Yuanshuang really couldn't figure out what went wrong.

She didn't owe the money, she didn't empty the Hengyue Money House herself, and she didn't force those wealthy and powerful families to borrow money.

And why can't those farmers and workers, who are untouchables, overcome such difficulties?

As for the Ministry of War, they were told that the Yun Kingdom was about to be destroyed, so they must be on high alert against the Qing Kingdom.

As a result, because of the military pay, they are now tending to occupy land and establish their own fiefdoms.

She threw all the memorials into the brazier and burned them to keep the hall warm.

"Your Majesty, the envoy from Qing Kingdom is here to visit."

The eunuch came in hurriedly to report.

"Envoys from Qing? Why are they here? What kind of visit is this?"

Xiao Yuanshuang suddenly felt something was wrong.

When an envoy to a country goes on a mission, he must first write a letter, then plan the route, and finally visit.

What's the matter with their sudden visit?

The eunuch's next words were, "The envoy is Murong Anle, the Minister of Rites of the Kingdom of Qing."

In fact, several ministers worked hard for this mission. This is a matter that will go down in history. He begged His Majesty for a long time before he got this mission.

When he saw Xiao Yuanshuang, he didn't even drink the tea, and his first words were, "Princess, how about you surrender to Daqing?"

After hearing this, Xiao Yuanshuang was stunned for a quarter of an hour before he reacted.

He slowly asked, "All of this was done by Murong Yue? Right?"

Murong Anle shook his head, "Your Highness is overthinking. Our Majesty is pure-minded, and her mind is not here."

"Oh, what's her mindset then? Doesn't she want to rule the world?"

"No," Murong Anle shook his head, "Our Majesty's mind is not here."

Before, they also thought that His Majesty just wanted to unify the world, but later on, there was a period of time when they felt that His Majesty's mind was on the Emperor Retired and the Empress Dowager.

But that day I actually heard Her Majesty say that she had three wishes.

"Everyone in the world can have enough food and clothing, the common people can get a fair share, and the powerful and wealthy families can get a broader stage."

"Find my parents and tell them that Yue'er has not let them down."

"Everyone around me is happy and safe, and I will always be with my good friends."

As for who the good friend was talking about, everyone knew it.

Among these three wishes, none of them is about unifying the world.
