Xiao Jiu'an's goal today was only to delay the emperor and not for him to make any promises. So he didn't mind delaying it for a bit, or leaving some leeway for the emperor to think that he had the ability to persuade Xiao Jiu'an.

Of course, Xiao Jiu'an would never promise anything, much less agree to anything.

In the past decade, the imperial government didn't allocate much funds to the Yanbei Army. Even if it was originally the resources of the Yanbei Army s, the imperial government would still hold them back and would not distribute them. Every year, the imperial government would only give them something symbolic, indicating that the imperial government still remembered the Yanbei Army s and that they were still the Revelation's.

Every year, the Ministry of Revenue did not set aside any money for Yanbei Army. Everyone automatically ignored the matter of giving Yanbei Army military expenditures.

"The Emperor can ask the Lord of the Revenue Department to calculate it, and this is based on the military pay that was set ten years ago. All these years …" This official has heard that the army's salary has risen again. If it were to rise, the military expenditure owed by the imperial government would increase by 20 to 30 percent. " Sometimes, Xiao Jiu'an really couldn't understand what the late emperor and emperor were thinking.

They were unwilling to raise the Yanbei Army, and had placed all of the burden on the Prince Yanbei's Mansion, but they wanted the Yanbei Army to be loyal to them, not to listen to her orders, and even blamed him for having no Emperor in her eyes.

The two emperors from the Revelation were all like this. They would never find the reason from their own bodies and would only continuously blame the people below for being disloyal, and never think whether or not they had a beloved people.

"The Minister of Public Revenue has entered the palace." The emperor really didn't know how to respond to this. After all, the imperial court owed the Yanbei Army too much, it was fine that Xiao Jiu'an didn't mention it. But now that she had brought it up again, even if it was not completely given to him, she had to at least give him a little, right?

However, the national treasury was not abundant, so they gave the Yanbei Army a sum of silver. In the next long period of time, they were all eager to live.

The emperor knew that the treasury was nervous, but he didn't know where or how much money the treasury could squeeze out. Thus, he had to ask the Minister of Revenue who was familiar with the situation.

Xiao Jiu'an didn't object. She didn't have much today, it's just that she had a lot of time …

The six departments' office was not far from the palace, and in just half an hour, the Minister of Revenue had rushed over. Other than him, there was also a huge pile of old books.

These accounts were an account of Yanbei Army's military expenditures.

"This subject pays his respects to Your Majesty. Long live and long live the Emperor." The Minister of Revenue had probably rushed here all the way, and even though his breathing had not stabilized after entering the hall, he did not even dare to breathe heavily as he knelt and kowtowed.

After the Emperor shouted, the Minister of Revenue then let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, this subject has brought the books of Yanbei Army over for the past ten years, do you wish to take a look, Your Majesty?"

"No need, let me show you to the Prince Yanbei. You all better check and verify your stratagems and see how much military expenditures the imperial government owes the Yanbei Army." Thinking of that huge number of words, the Emperor couldn't help but have a headache.

The imperial government had not given Yanbei Army any military funds for so many years, and the Yanbei Army was still fine as well. She was simply creating trouble.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Minister of Revenue quietly wiped his sweat away as he felt weak in his heart.

What was there to check, the number that Prince Yanbei reported was only a small number. The military expenditures for the past ten years were not a small amount, especially after the military expenditures of the various large military camps had increased, Yanbei Army would still have to increase according to the rules.

According to the three hundred thousand people, the Yanbei Army's military expenditure every year was not a small sum, let alone the combined military expenditure every ten years. Other than military expenditures, there was also the reward of victory, as well as the compensation for the fallen soldiers.

These brushes had to be given in accordance to the rules. These few years, Yanbei Army had fought with Beichen and the Southern Wilderness for over a hundred battles, and the more the victor, the more the less the sacrifice. Every time after the war ended, the Yanbei Army would report it to the imperial government according to the rules.

Now, when Xiao Jiu'an mentioned this, not only did the imperial government have to calculate the military expenditures for the past ten years for Yanbei Army, they also had to calculate all of these.

The amount of silver was not less than the military expenses. If he were to make up for the money, the entire Revelation would not have enough to pay.

The Minister of Revenue calculated the military expenditures owed by the imperial government to the Yanbei Army as he sighed in his heart, and reported them to the emperor and Xiao Jiu'an according to the standards of ten years ago.

Hearing that it was the same as what Xiao Jiu'an had said, Xiao Jiu'an laughed sarcastically. If it was in the past, he would not mind, but today, he had time to slowly grind them down.

Xiao Jiu'an brought up the matter of the imperial military expenditures and asked the Minister of Revenue to recalculate them. The emperor was just about to delay for some time, wanting to explain how to resolve this matter. After hearing Xiao Jiu'an's words, the emperor pondered for a moment, and then had the Minister of Revenue recalculate his expenses.

Xiao Jiu'an made a reasonable request. Even if she was the emperor, he had no right to refuse.

No matter how he privately suppressed Yanbei Army, at least it couldn't be like this in public. He couldn't let others think that the Yanbei Army wasn't the army of the Revelation's government …
