Zhao Huan continued: "I have another requirement, I hope all your family will remember it!"

"I would like to hear your Majesty's teachings."

Zhao Huan said murderously: "I want to execute the royal family of Jiaozhi Kingdom, dig out Li Changjie to whip the body, destroy his tomb, and make all his tribe members slaves and slaves forever!"

During the Shenzong Dynasty, the Jiaozhi Kingdom invaded Guangxi of the Song Dynasty and plundered 100,000 people. This hatred was irreconcilable!

Unfortunately, after a few battles, peace talks began.

The ministers took a deep breath and said, "This emperor is really vengeful."

Zhao Huan asked again: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Originally, Xu Churen and Zhou Dynasty wanted to oppose this war. The Song Dynasty had just undergone a great purge and needed rest and rest. The emperor now had to fight again. What if the public was resentful!

But judging from the emperor's attitude, opposition will definitely be invalid.

The ministers had to think of ways to meet the emperor's requirements. There was nothing to say at the moment, and more detailed ones had to continue to plan carefully.

"How about it, Zong Aiqing was appointed as the Southwest General?"

The ministers said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zong Ze said: "I thank the emperor and I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust!"

"There are many miasma in the southwest. Zong Aiqing is old. Li Gang, please arrange a few more imperial physicians to follow the old General Zong Ze to the southwest. Be sure to ensure that the old General Zong is in good health, otherwise I will ask them all to go to the Five Dynasties!"

Li Gang hurriedly said: "Abide by the order!"

"Thank you, the emperor!"

Although this emperor was a little reckless, he was not stingy. As long as he did his job well, he would be rewarded with less than a penny, even more than the previous emperors.

In other words, he cared about ministers who were loyal to the king and the country.

But if things are not done well, then you will really turn aside and refuse to recognize others.

After the discussion, Xu Churen, Tang Ke, Qin Hui from the Political Affairs Hall and Zhou Chao from the Sansi Yamen stayed.

Zhou Dynasty said: "Your Majesty, the expenditure of the entire year reached 100 million guan last year, of which the Privy Council spent 40 million guan, salary, military rewards, and pensions for wounded personnel totaled 27 million guan, and military reserves of 15 million guan. The Political Affairs Hall was 40 million guan, of which the salaries of officials were 30 million guan, and the salaries of officials were 30 million guan. The total investment was 3 million guan, one million guan, and six million guan respectively. The Hanlin Academy was 3 million guan, mainly building schools, sorting books, and recruiting teachers; In addition, the Academy of Sciences spent 1 million guan, mainly personnel salaries, books, and tools; the Inspectorate was 100,000 guan, mainly personnel salaries; the Imperial City Department was 100,000 guan, mainly personnel salaries and travel expenses; the Maritime Warehouse Department of King Kang, 14.9 million guan, mainly for the expansion of harbors and ships."

"Last year, the total revenue was 70 million yuan. Due to tax cuts and the abolition of corvee labor, the tax revenue was greatly reduced. With the total income of salt, iron, tea, wine, etc., it was only 270 million yuan. The Central Plains seized the property of the anti-party, the property of the imperial officials, and the property of the southern anti-party, totaling 20 million yuan. The Ministry of Commerce earned 7 million yuan last year, the income of the expansion and sale of Tokyo City was 13 million yuan, and the income of the maritime trade of the civil service was 3 million yuan."

Xu Churen's face twitched a few times. As the boss of the Political Affairs Hall, the total number of people produced from the Political Affairs Hall was only 27 million. This number is 53 million less than the 80 million yuan of the previous year.

The main reason was that the emperor was willful and greatly reduced the tax.

The newly added commercial tax has not been fully implemented in many places.

For example, Shaanxi Road, such as Chengdu Road, Kuizhou Road, Liangzhe Road, Jiangnan Road, and even the Central Plains, the new policy was only implemented in June.

Hebei Road and Hedong Road suffered heavy losses due to the war, and this year's taxes are less than one-tenth of those in previous years.

Xu Churen remembered that in June this year, the emperor gave him two major tasks: one is that the total tax revenue will reach 16,000 guan in the coming year; the other is that the average income of the people in the Central Plains will double.

Now it seems that this mission is simply...

It’s simply a pit that the emperor deliberately sets for him!

The Zhou Dynasty's tone was quite heavy. With such income and expenditure, the court had already begun to overdraw the money of the Song Bank, and the money of the Song Bank was almost insufficient.

If it weren't for the Zhou Dynasty's report, it was just a total investment, not a actual investment, I'm afraid the court would have already died.

Zhou Dynasty's eyes were scratched by the emperor's face, trying to find shock and anger on the emperor's face, and then quickly stopped the conquest that had just been discussed.

But the emperor's face was not only not shocked, but also filled with a cheerful smile.

"Yes, Xu Churen, Tang Ke, Qin Hui, you all have done well. I feel very comforted. I also want to write a letter to commend King Kang and praise his Maritime Bureau."

Faced with the emperor's praise, several ministers were confused.

This style is wrong. At this time, shouldn’t the emperor be so shameless and scold them?

That's the only one! What's the point of asking you!

If you continue to do this, how can the court operate?

Come on! Drag these idiots and kill them!

But the emperor was kind and satisfied with this report.

This emperor has such a high acting skills, he must be furious.

But he still held back his anger and showed a kind look.

Several ministers were maliciously surreptitiously.

But in fact, Zhao Huan was really satisfied with this report.

He knew very well what the entire Song Dynasty experienced in the first year of Jingkang?

The emperor led a group of people to the north with a knife and chopped against the Jurchens.

It's really a perfect cut, there's no slightestness, and it's made by people, with a death toll of 6 to 1!

After using people to pile up the golden thieves, he turned around and returned. He did not stop and directly took over the two routes from Zhongyuan.

After the delivery, the ministers in the court had not breathed, and they pushed the southern routes horizontally.

The screams of rebellious rebels in the south are still floating in the sky, and he is about to destroy Jiaozhi again.

What deceives the ministers the most is that with an order, the population will be moved and the construction will be carried out!

If anyone else was this, it would be impossible for the imperial court to convert revenue from regular income!

Zhao Huan also knew very well.

Under his ravage, the surviving ministers were not only strong in steel but also in small and medium-sized people.

He is already very satisfied with this.

Usually, the pressure is applied, but in terms of the general direction and progress, and at the beginning of this year, it is still necessary to encourage it.

As an emperor, you must also take the initiative to overcome difficulties with your humeral minister.

In fact, Zhao Huan also knew that doing this was very aggressive, but there was no way to do this game of chess now.

Why was the administrative efficiency of the court completely different at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty and its demise?

In other words, the situation of the court was completely different when Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country and when Chongzhen fell.

Many people will tell you the reasons why they can’t finish it for days or nights, but Zhao Huan simplifies the problem and only says a little.

The degeneration of tissue functions forms a strong inertia and a firm memory. Just like human fitness, many people do not exercise and muscles relax. Once this muscle memory is formed, people are unwilling to move.

However, once muscle memory is changed through labor pain exercise, the pain will disappear after a while, and if you don’t understand for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over.

What Zhao Huan had to do was to change the organizational memory of the Northern Song Dynasty court.

The so-called exaggeration, peace talks, civility respect and martial arts, invincible Jin people, and the emperor does not kill scholars and officials, all the memory engraved in everyone's minds is forcibly reversed.

As a superior, what you need most is not money, and even talents must be ranked behind.

What is needed most is time. Once the new policy is delayed, the inertia of the organization will be abandoned and will be left alone. The memory of the entire court cannot be changed.

Once this happens, the emperor himself will be exhausted over time.
