Lu Chensheng waved his hand helplessly, and replied.

He still has a lot of things to do, isn't he short of money?Still short of money.

When Gu Zhifang heard the words, he immediately stopped talking. Some things are just as good as they are, and it's not good to keep pestering them.

Not enough money.

Lu Chensheng rubbed his forehead, the gold mine has been found and is being mined, but it is far from enough right now.

Money, money, the little bit of family wealth that I managed to earn before was squandered.

When Lu Chensheng returned to the yard, he saw Du Rufang and the others waiting.

Looks like it's been a while.

"Is something wrong?"

Lu Chensheng stepped forward and asked.

"My lord, this is the latest list of officials. I would like you to have a look. In addition, this is the latest money budget, and here are the memorials from various places."

One by one, things began to pile up in front of Lu Chensheng one by one. Lu Chensheng only felt his face turn dark when he heard it.

It's only been a while since I went out, why so many things come out all of a sudden.

Lu Chensheng shook his head, carefully took the look.

"My lord, the treasury is out of money, so where is the money to go out!"

Before Lu Chensheng could take a closer look, Li Daifu, who heard the word "money", immediately said with a bitter face.

Are you kidding me, you still need money at this time?

The funds allocated before are not enough for them to squander for a while?

"It's just a budget, just pay it later."

When Du Rufang heard the words, he immediately said something with a smile.

"Not in a while!"

Li Daifu said with a stiff neck.

Originally, the relationship between the two was quite good before, but at this time, the relationship between the two began to deteriorate.

One wants money, the other has no money, and can't give it at all.

But Du Rufang didn't care so much, the things at hand were very important, and he needed money.

"Why not?"

Hearing this, Du Rufang became anxious, and angrily said, "Don't you know how important the matter in my hands is? It is related to the development of the entire empire! If you delay my money, you will delay the development of the empire!"

Du Rufang looked at Li Daifu, he could already feel the changes that began to take place in various places.

And under such circumstances, he is also eager to speed up the progress.

Now as long as the money is in place, everything can be put on the agenda, how can he not be in a hurry?

Knowing that the other party has no money, so it can be delayed for a while, but the other party seems not ready to give money.

"I also have some calculations here. It is for the construction of water conservancy, and the money must be less!"

Wang Tianxun also stepped forward at this moment and said.

The construction of water conservancy, as long as it is done well, it will also have a good reputation, and it can be recorded in the annals of history in the future.

Historians from all over the world are here now. As the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, if he doesn't make some achievements, how can he leave his name in the history books?

What's more, he is also for this country.

"You still have the face to ask for money? You ask for the most money. How much did you pay for the construction of the palace? You asked for five or six million taels of silver before?"

Li Daifu almost vomited three liters of blood.

This Wang Tianxun actually came to ask for money.

I don't know how much money was invested in the construction of the palace.

The remaining money in the treasury is all left over.

There is still a lot of money in it, which was collected from Jiang Guo and Da Cang Kingdom.

Previously, Xing Seoul City could support these few places, and there were not many places to spend money. He basically gave Wang Tianxun everything he asked for.

But now, where is the money in his hand?

Wang Tianxun's face darkened when he heard this, "I don't care about so much, the palace is related to when your lord will ascend the throne, why, you are dissatisfied even with this matter?"

Li Daifu's face froze when he heard this, this old man is stalking him!

"My lord, this subordinate definitely has no such intention!"

Li Daifu didn't care about Wang Tianxun any more, and hurriedly said to Lu Chensheng.

Lu Chensheng waved his hand, signaling to the other party not to worry so much.

Seeing this, Li Daifu breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be a disaster if the other party overshadowed it.

"The national treasury only has such a little money, but there is no money!"

Li Daifu was too lazy to argue, what are you calling so hard for when you have no money?

"That means you are incompetent! As the minister of the household department, you actually let the treasury empty, this is your dereliction of duty!"

Wang Tianxun heard the words but refused to give up, and directly responded.

Li Daifu almost spit out a mouthful of blood when he heard this, why do these words sound so familiar?Isn't this what Yang Zhiyuan scolded Wang Tianxun before?

How come at this time, it was used on him in reverse?

Lu Chensheng looked at the memorabilia in his hand and felt a little helpless when he heard several people arguing.

This Li Daifu is also unlucky. As the secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, others ask for money through him. Now he has no money, but others don't care, anyway, just ask for money.

The position of the household department is basically a very difficult position to do, and it is always careful and careful, which also makes other people unhappy.

Chapter 6 and Eight

Yanran City, the city that inherited the frontier fortress of the Zhou Kingdom.

Located outside the Great Wall near the Jurchen tribe, the city is quite desolate, and there are 500 troops in the garrison.

There are about 3000 people in the city.

The conditions can't be considered too difficult.

Among the guards, Qi Shi, has fought against Jurchen for many years outside the Great Wall, and has also developed a set of experience in fighting Jurchen.

"Bah! This yellow sand is all over the sky. What I see every day when I wake up is yellow sand. It's really uncomfortable."

He Qi, the standard-bearer at the side, spit out a mouthful, probably facing the yellow sand all day, the wind had already made his face extremely rough, his face looked extremely rough, but his eyes were particularly energetic.

"Facing this kind of yellow sand all day is actually not bad. It's better than facing the enemy."

Hearing this, the little soldier on the side laughed.

The faces of the soldiers are rough and rough, but the armor on their bodies is already a bit worn out, and it looks like it has been a few years old.

"Shitou, you got up a bit late today. It's because of your mother-in-law. You can't bear to get up?"

He Qi looked at his comrades at the side, and suddenly smiled.

"Isn't it? The cry last night could be heard throughout the city."

"You just don't have a wife, if you have one, maybe it's not as good as a stone!"

When the soldiers on the side heard the words, they immediately laughed, their tone full of ridicule.

Hearing this, Shitou spit at the feet of several people. These people like to joke about this kind of thing, and he is used to it.

In this place where you can see almost all yellow sand, there is not much fun to be had.

"When I went out of the city yesterday, I saw a wolf's den a mile away. How about it? Go and fetch it at night?"

Shi Shi licked his lips. There are not many days when you can eat meat these days.

That litter of wolf cubs, if they are lucky, a few pots of meat can be stewed so that everyone can drink a mouthful of soup.

"Wolf's Den?"

Hearing this, the few people on the side immediately regained their spirits, with a bit of salivation on their faces.

If this is shot down, you can indeed eat a bite of meat. There is no game around here, and some of them have been eaten by them.

"Is there really? Shouldn't it be empty?"

"Impossible, I've seen it before."

He Qi shook his head, this is unlikely.

"Be honest and stand still."

Qi Shizhong glared at his subordinates, telling them to behave themselves.

Everyone shrank their heads slightly, and immediately dared not make a sound.

But He Qi didn't care much, "Boss, I've been here for more than ten years, I haven't seen such a big storm, I can't be so careful."

"A group of businessmen came here yesterday. It seems that the scale is very large. Who knows if anyone wants to get their ideas."

Qi Shizhong snorted coldly.

The caravan came here to settle down, and after leaving for a while, it would enter a narrow path, and the caravan liked to walk there.

Because wherever they go, the cavalry will have a hard time. If they are in danger, they can jump directly into the mountain stream beside them.

The mountain stream is not high, and you can basically survive by jumping down.

If you are more ruthless and push down with the goods, the looters who come will only be able to return empty-handed.

In this way, if someone has their eyes on this caravan and has not acted before, basically this is their last chance.

He could see clearly yesterday that this caravan was huge and probably worth a lot of money. It was very possible that someone would be tempted.

"How can"

噗

Before a soldier at the side finished speaking, a feathered arrow flew towards him, pierced his neck, and then ruthlessly pierced into the wall behind him.

Looking at this scene, Qi Shizhong was only stunned for a moment, and then yelled, "Get down, the enemy is attacking!"

The surrounding soldiers were all veterans who had followed him in the battle. When they heard the order, they all got down on the ground and hid behind the parapet.

shhhhhh

There was a sound of feathered arrows piercing through the air, and then there were arrows flying towards this side.

A veteran who couldn't dodge was shot into a hedgehog immediately.

"Old money!"

The friend on the side turned his head and saw the friend who had been shot into a hedgehog, and immediately roared, wanting to go out and drag him over, but seeing the density of feather arrows, he didn't dare to mess around at all.

"Straight to his mother, from the Jurchen clan?"

Qi Shizhong hid behind the parapet, looked at the two dead veterans, and couldn't help but twitched in his heart. Looking at the arrow, he couldn't help frowning.

Although this is close to the Jurchen tribe, sometimes it is not necessarily the Jurchen tribe's invasion.

But looking at the arrow now, he knew that the ones coming were definitely from the Jurchen clan.

Compared with other tribes, the Jurchens are relatively richer, and their bows are heavier and more powerful.

He could tell by the sound.

Looking at the density of the arrows, there are probably three to four thousand people from the Jurchen tribe.

If there were Jurchens who didn't shoot arrows, then his estimation might be wrong.

It was just such a value that directly made his heart sink, feeling that something was wrong.

What's going on with this Jurchen tribe? Why are there so many people here this time?
