Chapter 598 I'm out of money

The road guides were eliminated, and people from all over the country could come and go freely.

As a result, a lot of people came to Xinghan City immediately.

However, since there are no previous restrictions now, plus Xing Seoul City will definitely become the imperial capital in the future, the housing prices in Xing Seoul City have also begun to rise slowly.

People who came here early in the past can see the rising trend of housing prices.

Such a scene made them both surprised and happy.

If it hadn't come early, they wouldn't be able to afford a house.

But in this way, their intangible assets also began to rise.

Some Confucian scholars also began to buy houses and live in them, taking advantage of the affordable housing prices.

Otherwise, in the future, the house here may not be suitable for them to live in.

You must know that some great Confucians live in poverty and don't have that much money.

The officials sent out before have all taken up their posts one by one, and the number of memorials handed in recently has also begun to increase.

Li Daifu from the household department has been busy recently, making some lists.

The land is bigger and more manpower is needed.

The officials in Xing Seoul are obviously not enough.

At present, there are a few people in the household department of the Ministry of Industry, but the departments of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment have not yet been perfected.

He wanted to perfect these departments, select the right candidates and send them to Lu Chensheng for Lu Chensheng to have a look at.

This is necessary. You can't wait until your lord is about to ascend the throne. There are no military officials, right?Isn't this too shabby?

In addition, those great Confucian scholars, college students and others also agreed to Lu Chensheng's request and began to compile dictionaries.

One of the important reasons is that after they wrote this book, their names were registered in it.

This is a huge temptation. According to the words of the person who came to them to work, hundreds of thousands of copies of this code will be printed in the future.

Such a number is enough to make their names go down in history, and they have also seen the power of these classics.

Being able to have one's name recorded on it is definitely something that countless mathematicians dream of.

So the dictionary matter went quite smoothly.

There may be a lot of trouble in writing, and it will take a lot of time, but there is nothing else.

Winter is getting closer and closer, Lu Chensheng is in the study, looking at the memorials sent from various places.

At this moment, the brows are frowned, the situation in various places is not optimistic.

In most places, Lu Chensheng still needs to allocate funds to go there, and Lu Chensheng has a headache watching it.

After receiving these things, it feels like a mess, and Lu Chensheng needs to deal with them one by one.

The expansion of armaments needs money, the recruitment of soldiers needs money, the replenishment of granaries needs money, various officials need salaries, and all places need money.

Everywhere I look, there are people asking for money everywhere.

The territory has expanded, and it is unreasonable to say that there is still a little force before, and it needs to be expanded.

Lu Chensheng has no opinion on this point. According to the memo that Bai Yi handed over, at least [-] soldiers need to be expanded.

This requires a lot of money.

These [-] soldiers still need armaments, which is another large expenditure.

In short, all kinds of money.

There is also the latest submission, saying that they are looking for a land with good geomantic omen and building a mausoleum for Lu Chensheng.

Well, it is the mausoleum.

Although I know that in ancient times, the mausoleum was built for the emperor very early, but looking at it now, Lu Chensheng still feels a little crooked.

This memorandum was directly rejected by Lu Chensheng, not to mention the time, and it is true that there is no such money right now.

"Mr. Lu, is he so busy now?"

Outside the courtyard, Lin Yu sat aside, looked at Lu Chensheng who hadn't come out after entering, and asked Qiongyue and the two daughters.

"Yes, there have been more things recently. The various memorials submitted need to be handled by the husband. In addition, there are some officials' arrangements, which are also extremely troublesome."

Qiongyue agreed, and was still making clothes for Yueyue.

Bai Yi also has some free time now, and is making clothes together.

Lin Yu looked at the daughters in the two cradles with envy in his eyes.

She also wants to have a child, especially these two daughters are so lovely.

"Recently there are indeed a lot of things. My husband is busy until late every day. I'm afraid I don't have much time to talk to you."

Bai Yi also said something.

Knowing that Lin Yu also wanted to stay with Lu Chensheng for a while longer.

They are already Lu Chensheng's wives, so they don't care about it.

"I'm fine, I just think Mr. Lu is working too hard."

Lin Yu heard the words, quickly waved his hands and said something.

While speaking, her fair face was stained with a layer of red frost.

Bai Yi and Qiong Yue looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

"Since you feel that your husband is too tired, why don't you make some tea and bring it to your husband, the two of us have to rush to make clothes, we don't have the time."

Qiong Yue said something.

Bai Yi listened, and nodded her head, expressing her approval.

Lin Yu was taken aback for a moment, probably never thought that the two of them would do this.

While she was in a daze, Qiongyue and the two on the side waved their hands and signaled.

"Aren't you going? Husband will be thirsty at this time, and by the way, he will also be greedy. See if there are any pastries in the kitchen, and send them in."

Bai Yi is quite familiar with Lu Chensheng.

I know that when my husband is working, he likes to eat and review memorials.

Seeing the urging of the two, Lin Yu quickly got up and took the tea set to make hot tea.

After a while, he entered the study with tea and pastries.

In the study room, there was a strong fragrance of ink, and Lu Chensheng frowned as he leaned over his desk, as if he had encountered some problem.

"My lord, let's drink some tea first."

Lin Yu walked aside with the tray and said softly.

While speaking, her beautiful eyes stared closely at Lu Chensheng in front of her. She hadn't seen Lu Chensheng for a long time, and now that she saw her again, she still felt that Lu Chensheng's appearance hadn't changed at all.

When Lu Chensheng heard the sound, he felt that there was something wrong with the sound, not like Xiaoyu's, and the fragrance.

It didn't seem like Xiaoyu's either. Although Xiaoyu had a bit of fragrance on her body, it wasn't like that.

Lu Chensheng raised his head, seeing that it was after Lin Yu, he suddenly realized.

"It's you, why did I ask you to make tea?"

Lu Chensheng glanced at the hot tea in Linyu's hand, a little strange, Xiaoyu did all this before.

"It's okay, didn't Linyu also make tea for the young master before?"

Lin Yu heard the words, and immediately said something softly.

Lu Chensheng smiled when he heard the words, he just felt that Linyu came here as a guest now, and it was really not good for the other party to do these things.

Today is also different.

But Lin Yu didn't have any opinions, so Lu Chensheng didn't say anything.

Chapter 599

"What did you worry about just now, son?"

Seeing Lu Chensheng eating pastries, Lin Yu asked softly.

"Of course it's money."

Lu Chensheng replied.

It could also be because of something, right now there are all kinds of people asking for money directly, which really makes Lu Chensheng very distressed.

"money?"

Lin Yu was also stunned for a moment, and then understood.

The emperors of the previous dynasties were also short of money. It seems that there is no emperor in the past who was not short of money.

"Yeah, there are too many places to spend money. I'm afraid it's not enough to spend the millions of taels left before."

Lu Chensheng replied.

Hearing this, Lin Yu's pretty face changed slightly. Are these millions of taels not enough?

The annual income of the previous dynasty was only a few million taels of silver, right?

"How about that?"

Lin Yu turned her head and became worried, Lu Chensheng needed money, but she couldn't help.

To be honest, if it was only tens of thousands of taels of silver, she would still help.

But now it has turned into millions of taels of silver, which is not enough, and Lin Yu is helpless.

"It's okay, although there is a serious shortage of money right now, it's not a big problem."

Although Lu Chensheng was a little overwhelmed, he was confident that it would be done, and it would take some time.

Speaking of this, Lu Chensheng suddenly remembered another thing.

"Gu Zhifang?"

"grown ups!"

Hearing Lu Chensheng's call, Gu Zhifang walked in immediately.

"Didn't the old Taoist Yun Song give me a booklet, which recorded the locations of several gold mines? Arrange some people to start digging."

A few gold mines were dug out and then smelted, which is also a lot of income.

Almost forgot about it.

Gu Zhifang immediately responded when he heard the words.

"Old Daoist Yunsong? But the Taoist priest who followed you before?"

Lin Yu thought about it, but he remembered that when Lu Chensheng went to Jiang Guohuang's capital, he seemed to be accompanied by a Taoist priest.

And that Taoist priest is also quite powerful.

"Yeah, this Taoist has something. When he was traveling around the world, he discovered several unknown gold mines. Now these places are mine, so I can send someone to dig them.

If you dig faster, the income should not be small. "

As long as the gold mine is dug out and smelted, the income will come up.

Lin Yu was also a little surprised when she heard this, she was a little surprised why the Taoist priest didn't dig it himself?

She wanted to ask Lu Chensheng, but after thinking about it, she still didn't ask. She felt that this matter might be a secret, and it was better not to inquire.

"Has everyone contacted?"

In a remote house in Fengyu City, several people were sitting in the room with their faces covered, discussing something in a low voice.

"I got in touch. There is also a team in Jiang Guo, who was Jiang Jinjing's confidant before. I heard that there is still a prince in his hand. He is accumulating strength and is ready to take back Jiang Guo's world at any time."

Hearing this, the man in black on the right whispered something immediately.
