Chapter 387

Elder Yu is also very old and has experienced so many things. It is said that he should not be like the impulsive young people who are hot-blooded, thinking about something important all day long, even if he only adds some obstacles to the imperial court.

If it wasn't for the fact that Yu's life experience was more or less similar to his own, he would not have let go and promised to take him with him.

However, after all these years, he had a thorough understanding of Yu's character, so he advised: "OK, you are not a young man who has never seen the world. Those who can do great things by themselves are mostly written in the storybook. Just look at the picture and have fun. It's silly to believe it. I know what you think, but we don't have a way to get involved at this time. If you fold it inside, I can't even get your corpse back! "

Yu is still silent.

Jin Laosan eased his voice: "well, don't think about it. That day will come." He patted the old man on the arm. "We'll buy some dry food and take it away. We'll find a small place to have a good meal in a few days. You forget that there are still two people waiting outside the city. If we don't go back, they may starve themselves to death."

Although Yu was depressed, he still wanted to laugh because of his words. There was a smile on his face and he said, "OK, I'll listen to you!"

Jin Laosan looks at the dim sum that has not moved, twists a few and puts them into his mouth. To be honest, he doesn't put a lot of sugar when he makes it. After all, sugar is expensive, so it's delicious. Jin Laosan takes tea, eats several dim sum from two plates, and says to the boss: "you eat more or less, no matter how it doesn't agree with your taste, At least it's better than dry food. "

Boss Yu is still a little disgusted to look at these sweets. Originally, he did not show his likes and dislikes so clearly, but now he was obviously upset, and there was no outsider here, so it was very difficult to bear.

Even so, he chose a soybean cake and put it in his mouth. He choked and drank a cup of tea.

Jin Laosan quickly said: "eat slowly, and not in a hurry for a while."

He and Yu finally finished the two plates of snacks, and even drank most of the tea. Jin Laosan took him downstairs to settle the bill after he had adjusted his mood.

In the past few years, they came to Yangcheng and tried to avoid staying in the same teahouse and restaurant every time. The last time they came here was a year and a half ago. However, there was little change in the city, that is, prices rose a little, people came and went in the street, most of them were more or less worried except for the children who were not very sensible.

Looking at these sad faces, boss Yu stretched out his hand to tighten his gray thick clothes. He muttered, "I knew this dog... The emperor can't do good!"

Jin Laosan's awe of the imperial power has long dissipated. When he heard Yu's muttering, he didn't say it, but he thought it was true in his heart.

He knew more than the eldest brother. In the affairs of King Chen Shizi, there was no other force involved. It was just the emperor's intention to build a new palace. As a result, he was politely rejected by the Minister of household affairs at the bottom, saying that the money in the National Treasury was left. Let alone build a new palace, it was just to renovate the old palace. All the money was not enough.

At that time, the emperor thought that he had just made a trivial request in the last court, but he was rejected immediately. Although the words of the Secretary of the Ministry of household were very euphemistic, the emperor felt that he had been seriously offended and might have been deceived.

In his cognition, the years in recent years have been good, and the grain harvest should be very good. There are many small fights and skirmishes in the border areas, and there are few enemy troops killed after fighting several battles. There should be no more military expenditure without fighting. In this way, the National Treasury has no money?!

The Emperor didn't believe in this evil. At that time, he was angry with the emperor. He had to go to the Treasury to have a look. A group of ministers advised him for a long time, but the emperor felt more and more that it was a group of Ministers who wanted to deceive him. In the end, the Emperor just drove to the Treasury, and the ministers in the court couldn't wait over the hall without the emperor, so they all followed him.

When the door of the National Treasury was opened, the emperor and the officials who were not in charge of the household department were all silly.

The Treasury is empty. It's almost ready to run. There are only fifty big boxes in the deepest part of the Treasury.

The emperor is unbelievable.

He was stunned for a while, and then almost recovered at the same time, he was furious, and kicked the Hubu Shangshu to the ground.

It's no exaggeration to say that the group of Ministers who followed behind the emperor talked in a low voice when they saw the tragedy of the national treasury. When they saw that the emperor actually kicked the Secretary of the household department, they were as quiet as dead.

In the silence, the emperor's thunderous voice reverberated in the empty Treasury, which was almost echoed by a large group of people.

The emperor asked, "where has all the money gone?"

The emperor remembered that when he succeeded to the throne, he also went to the Treasury quietly. Of course, he didn't stir up the masses like now. He came quietly in the evening. At that time, the Treasury was full of boxes, at least half of the places were full of boxes!

It's only 20 years since he ascended the throne. He thinks he's done a good job. How can it be that the money in the National Treasury has been reduced to such a pitiful level instead of increasing?!

The emperor went to a box and saw that there was a big strong copper lock hanging on it.

The emperor roared: "where is the key?"?! Today I will see for myself what is left in the Treasury! "

In fact, even if there was nothing left in the Treasury, the emperor had an internal Treasury to use. The inner Treasury is equivalent to the emperor's own small Treasury. All the things in it belong to the emperor's private property, and all the private gold and silver treasures of the emperors of the past dynasties are in it.

Normally, if the emperor paid money from his inner Treasury to build the palace, the opposition of the court would not be so big. After all, the emperor spent his own money, and no one else could manage it, but the emperor refused. In his opinion, he was the Lord of the world, and it was a matter of course to support himself with the tax revenue of the world. How could he let his majesty spend his own money?!

Now that the Treasury is almost empty, the emperor is as angry, flustered, angry and anxious as the modern people who are suddenly told that the credit card has been frozen.

Hubu Shangshu got up from the ground in silence. A big footprint was printed on his court clothes. He had combed his hair neatly and smeared it with hair oil. His hair seemed to be covered with something. He looked embarrassed and decadent.
