The Golden Age Chapter 561: The secret of the inner library

Qin Xiao was taken aback, and said in doubt: "The princess just said that the court does not have the talent to train recruits, so how can recruits be trained?"

"You remembered half of it. I just said that even if you can train new recruits, it will take a lot of time." The princess's beautiful eyes flowed and she didn't smile: "Would you like to recruit new troops for training? Keep saying everything."

Qin Xiao now has two wishes, one big and one small.

The small wish is to be able to have power and money. Most people in Kyoto dare not provoke themselves. They can live a small life with Qiuniang sweetly, and the big wish is naturally to return to Xiling one day, not only to recover Xiling, but also To kill Li Tuo by himself.

Since the princess said that there is hope to train the new army to prepare for the recovery of Xiling, Qin Xiao of course agreed with 10,000 of this, and immediately said: "So, the saint is going to train the new army?"

"No." The princess shook her head and said: "The treasury is tight, and the two soldiers and horses on the border will consume a lot of military expenditure every year. For this reason, many officials in the DPRK once asked for advice, hoping to reduce the soldiers and horses in the south. According to them. According to the statement, Chief Murong has been in southern Xinjiang for more than a decade, and he has only a few tens of thousands of horses in his hands. Pei Xiaogong does not need so many soldiers and horses to guard, and can be reduced by at least 30%. The remaining soldiers and horses are deployed in the most important place. As a result, it can prevent southern Xinjiang and reduce the burden on the treasury." A white piece was twisted from the chess box, and without hesitation, it was placed neatly on the board, and then the black chess box was handed over. Qin Xiao Busily stretched out his hands to take it, she heard the princess’s soft voice and continued: "Moreover, there are many such people in the dynasty. Even saints must consider their attitudes."

Although Qin Xiao has been in Beijing for some time, he has not yet ascended to the court, and he still cannot fully grasp the attitude of the officials in the court.

"They all admonish the reduction of soldiers and horses in the south, so naturally it is impossible to support the recruitment of new troops." Qin Xiao frowned and said: "The princess said that the saints care about their attitude, so naturally it is impossible to decide to train troops easily?"

The princess smiled softly, her glamorous face was very charming, and she whispered softly: "You seem to forget that this palace is still in charge of the North Court."

"North Campus?"

"The North Court has the right to inquire about the annual budget of the Ministry of Households." The princess said slowly: "If the North Court insists on allocating a sum of military expenses from the Ministry of Households to train the new army, plus some opinions from the DPRK. The ministers who recovered Xiling jointly sent a letter to the saint, and the saint may not make an order to train troops."

"Can the Ministry of Households bear such military expenses?" Qin Xiao asked rhetorically.

It stands to reason that he, a Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was not qualified to discuss such military affairs with Princess Musk Moon, but today it was the princess who first mentioned it, and there was no intention to prevent Qin Xiao from discussing it. Qin Xiao naturally took this opportunity to talk with The princess talked about recovering Xiling.

Yuwen Huaiqian’s reminder made Qin Xiao understand that it is true that he cannot use troops against Xiling in a short time. But Yuwen Huaiqian also said that as long as he waits for up to three years, the court will send troops to recover Xiling. Of course, Qin Xiao hopes The court can plan ahead and make preparations as soon as possible.

"Recovering Xiling is related to the dignity of Datang." The princess stared at Qin Xiao with a pair of beautiful eyes: "As long as the wind direction in the court supports the recovery of Xiling, recruiting and training a new recruit will be imperative, and of course the court will do that. Will do everything possible to raise military expenses, and the palace can guarantee that as long as the saints make orders to train the troops, the palace can help the Ministry of Households to raise military expenses together."

Qin Xiao became a little confused as he listened.

He didn't know why the princess would suddenly talk about military training today, and he still talked about it with himself.

"Are you weird, why does this palace support the recovery of Xiling?" The princess has a pair of extremely charming and beautiful eyes, and a smart mind that looks directly at people's hearts.

Qin Xiao nodded and smiled bitterly: "The minister really doesn't understand. Why would the princess mention such military affairs with the minister?"

"Because what I just said is a reward from this palace." The princess calmly said: "This palace knows that you want to regain Xiling and recruit new soldiers in order to send troops to Xiling in the future. This is naturally something you can't ask for. . And the rewards of this palace don’t stop there. If you do a good job, this palace will not only persuade the saints to train soldiers, but also recommend you to participate in the recruitment training of this recruit. Maybe a few years later, it’s up to you. The commander-in-chief went out for conquest and returned home!"

Qin Xiao looked astonished, and said in doubt: "Do your errands? The princess, the minister can't understand it!"

However, I saw the princess picking up a bell and shaking it a few times. After putting it down, I soon saw a maidservant approaching with a tray. She knelt on the ground close by, but Qin Xiao had already seen it, putting it on the tray. Holding a white porcelain cup, the maid put down the tray, picked up the porcelain cup with both hands, and carefully presented it to the princess. The princess took the porcelain cup and waited for the maid to withdraw before taking a sip, shaking the porcelain cup and said: "There is Wine made from grapes from the Western Regions is sweet and mellow. Would you like to taste it?"

Qin Xiao thought that if you said something else, you might not have tried it. But when you left Kunlun to go to the Wutuo Khanate, you did taste a lot of wine, which may not be inferior to the glass in your hand, and respectfully said: "The little minister thanked the princess, it's not good to drink."

"Many people say that life in this palace is extravagant and spends money like water." The princess smiled lightly: "They are not wrong. Only this wine is transported from the Western Regions, and the money spent on the way is at ordinary people's homes. It’s an astronomical figure, and there are no less than a hundred barrels of this kind of wine in the Musk Moon Palace. Even if the Jiayuguan Pass is closed for three years, the palace will not worry about no alcohol."

"The princess is golden branches and jade leaves. Naturally, the things that ordinary people can't think of." Qin Xiao could only say.

The princess smiled charmingly and said: "This palace can enjoy these, not just because of the princess's identity, the most important thing is that the inner library of the empire is headed by the palace."

Qin Xiao looked at the princess's unparalleled and charming smile, radiantly radiant, did not dare to look directly, but couldn't fathom the princess in his heart.

Undoubtedly, the princess is of course the most intelligent person, otherwise the saint would not be able to hand over the Neiku to her, even if it is given to her because of blood relatives, if there is no extraordinary ability, it is absolutely impossible to Neiku is well organized.

Moreover, it can form a force in the court that can compete with Xiahou's family. This is evident in the wrist of the princess.

Under her charming and charming skin, she is shrewd and shrewd. The light from her eyes is sometimes chilling, but sometimes she laughs, but it is charming and unparalleled, even with a hint of playfulness.

"My palace has been in charge of Neiku for ten years, and tens of thousands of mouths in the palace are waiting for the palace to eat. This task is not easy." The princess sighed softly, "It's just that some people are going to kill tens of thousands of people in the palace. Naturally, this palace cannot sit idly by."

Qin Xiao really didn't understand the princess' thoughts for a while, and his lips moved slightly, but after all, he didn't speak.

Before the palace of the princess, you must not say something that should not be said. Even if you should say, you must think twice.

"Qin Xiao, do you know where the Neiku is?" The princess took a sip of wine, put down the porcelain cup, and suddenly looked at Qin Xiao and asked.

Qin Xiao was taken aback, and immediately replied: "The minister doesn't know it!" Thinking in his heart, Neiku is the source of royal wealth. Naturally, it is located in Kyoto. Looking at the city of Kyoto, the Neiku should be located in Jinchengfang, here. Strictly guarded, guarded by the empire's most elite dragon scale guards, no one can enter Jinchengfang without authorization. It is the safest place to set up a silver vault.

Sure enough, the princess had already said: "In this Jinchengfang, there is a warehouse for the inner warehouse." Meimu turned around and said: "But this is not all of the inner warehouse, and the inner warehouse is never just a place to store money. , Like a river, it flows endlessly, always running."

Qin Xiao became confused as he listened.

If the princess asked herself to talk about Xiling, it is understandable. After all, she was born in Xiling and knew better about Xiling, but the princess suddenly mentioned Neiku and even revealed the secret of Neiku. This is really true. Greatly abnormal.

Ordinary people know that the treasury is naturally not a few, but it is extremely rare to know that there is an inner treasury in the empire.

Neiku is the royal family’s own silver bag, and the Manchu dynasty civil and military dare not mention it. Even if they are officials in Kyoto, Neiku is an extremely mysterious existence for them, except because of the news of Neiku. Too few, but also because the internal library itself is indeed operating very low-key.

The princess mentioned Neiku suddenly, and Qin Xiao didn't know what the princess intended.

"If only relying on a fixed input, the inner storehouse would not be able to sustain the expenditure of tens of thousands of people in the imperial city." The princess stared at Qin Xiao and slowly said: "So in order to guarantee the continuous grain in the imperial city, the inner storehouse must do everything possible. Ways to increase revenue."

Qin Xiao sighed in his heart that Neiku’s annual fixed income is quite a lot. In addition, Hangzhou Lin’s annual transfer of a huge amount of money to the Neiku, its one-year income is definitely better than the amount allocated to the North. The town’s military expenditure is much higher. Those military expenditures can support nearly 100,000 troops in the four northern towns, but they cannot support the tens of thousands of people in the palace.

Princess Musk Moon talked about Neiku, Qin Xiao didn't dare to say a word, lowered his head, and didn't even dare to look at the princess.

"The royal family shouldn't compete with the people for profit, but to ensure that the inner bank always has enough money to support the palace, it must do some business secretly." The princess said: "Many people know that the Hangzhou Lin family is a royal merchant. , It’s a royal business, but the Lin family is just a royal merchant on the bright side. In addition, there are real royal shops. On the bright side, they are just ordinary merchants, but the real identity is a person in the inner library. These shops will also To operate silk tea and other businesses, without affecting private commerce, the internal warehouse can be supplemented to some extent."

Qin Xiao was stunned.

Of course this is Neiku’s greatest secret. Princess Muskyue told herself calmly. At this moment, Qin Xiao felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart, so she could tell herself about such secret things, and the princess said before. Good errands are rewards for persuading the saints to recruit recruits, so it seems that the errands mentioned by the princess are really extraordinary.
