Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Obviously, this was probably because he was scared.

Zhu Yunhuan was thinking this in his heart.

In front of the dragon desk.

Fu Youwen, who was standing outside the formation, paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Your Majesty is benevolent and virtuous!"

Zhu Yunhuan yawned, shifted slightly, and changed his posture. He leaned sideways, propping up his chin with the back of his hand, and looked at Fu Youwen with interest. "Oh? How is my virtue and benevolence?"

Looking at Fu Youwen's expression, this shout was obviously a pre-casting motion for some spell, and there must be something else to follow.

Fu Youwen responded:

"Your Majesty, although there was a slight surplus in all regular expenditures last year, the total amount was only 300,000 to 400,000 dan. However, when comparing last year's total expenditures with the total budget, the total surplus was a whopping 1.96 million dan!"

“Just because!”

"Fortunately, last year's rainfall was normal, the river conditions were not bad, and there was no major drought or disaster."

"Secondly, we rely on the virtue of your majesty!"

"Last year, a prolonged and heavy snowstorm swept across the entire Ming Dynasty! With this snowfall trend, the provinces closest to the northern border, such as Peking, Daning, and Hebei, were bound to suffer heavy snowstorms. In previous years, Your Majesty and I, your humble servants, could only watch and worry, unable to provide disaster relief."

"Yes, Your Majesty planned this out long ago."

"With such heavy snow, the Ministry of Revenue only has one dan of rice... There's no need to allocate any extra rice. The snowstorm will resolve itself, and the people will live in peace!"

"As a result... the budget originally set aside at the beginning of the year for dealing with natural disasters has been completely saved!"

"In previous years, the Ming Dynasty could only achieve a balance between revenue and expenditure. In years of disaster, even if the grain was split in half, it wouldn't be enough to spend. But this year, the Ministry of Revenue has calculated that there is a surplus of 7.55 million dan. I have been in the Ministry of Revenue for many years, and in the past, this was something I would never have dared to imagine."

"How can this not be due to your Majesty's benevolence and kindness?"

"Your Majesty...you are truly the Man of Destiny!!"

Speaking of this, Fu Youwen's face turned red, and he had already added a lot of true feelings into it. At the end, he was almost drooling.

After all, although he had prepared these words in advance in order to seek progress and was ready to flatter others, every word and sentence in them did not contain even a single word of exaggeration.

Fu Youwen had already taken over the Ministry of Revenue during the Hongwu reign, and had also served in the Ministry before that. He understood better than anyone else what a terrifying figure a surplus of 7.55 million dan of national treasury revenue was!

And the root of this number.

It was the seemingly nonchalant young emperor in front of him!

Everyone in the court and the country kept calling him a "tyrant"... But how could a "tyrant" act like that? And how could a "tyrant" achieve such success? — He was only emperor for six months!

"On behalf of the Ming Dynasty and its people, I bow down in gratitude for Your Majesty's grace! Your Majesty's virtue is one I deeply admire and bow down to!"

After a moment of silence, Fu Youwen knelt down in the hall with a "thump", and the sound of his kowtow was clearly audible...

And after Fu Youwen said this.

Inside the main hall of the entire Qianqing Palace... it gradually became quieter, quieter, and quieter. By the time Fu Youwen finished speaking, you could hear a pin drop!

Minister of Personnel Zhan Hui, Minister of Works Qin Kui, Minister of Punishment Yang Jing, Minister of Rites Ren Hengtai... and so on.

Everyone present had their mouths open and their eyes wide open, staring at Fu Youwen outside the line in unison... There was only indescribable shock in their eyes.

Even though they don't care about the Ministry of Revenue.

But the annual income, expenditure, budget... are the topics they have to discuss every year. At this time of year in previous years, this group of people, including the deceased Emperor Taizu Hongwu, would definitely be arguing about it.
