The arrival of the night is often quick and fast, but there are always some people who read it at night.

Han Chen is an example. He couldn't finish reading the bamboo slips in his hand. Fortunately, Han Yi gave him a few capable generals, but Hai Rui was sent out by him, and he also transferred two deputy officers from the twenty-four people. The man was not enough, but now he has three less, and the burden is heavier. Fortunately, there are Sima Xiangru! Fang Xuanling and others.

"Your Highness! Lord Lu is here!" Mu Ying pressed the sword in her arms with a serious expression.

Han Chen rubbed his eyebrows, relaxed his eyes, shook his hands, picked up the water beside him, took a sip, exhaled a heavy breath, and said in confusion: "What are he doing here? Things are messing enough here! Is this Ministry of Revenue causing trouble again?"

"I don't know! What should I do with Your Highness!" Mu Ying reminded Han Chen, whether to drive him away! Or let him in.

Han Yi breathed a sigh and said calmly: "The affairs of the Ministry of Revenue are related to national affairs! You can't delay it! Let him come in first! Arrange drinks in the main hall! Although it's spring, the weather is still relatively cold! Drinking something can also warm him up."

"promise!"

The flowers and trees that had been standing silently behind Han Chen, looked at Han Chen with a worried expression and said, "You have less troubles in the past few days! How can you hold on if you continue like this!"

Han Chen was stunned, looked back at Huamu, grabbed his hand, and smiled strangely, "What's wrong! I'm still caring about me now! Last year, you still chased me and beat me!"

Hua Mu didn't know what happened, so he smiled strangely, stretched out his slender hands, and at first rubbed Han Chen's shoulders. After a while, he slowly moved up, grabbed Han Chen's ears, and pretended to be vicious: "How is it! Isn't this very friendly!"

"Ah... it hurts! It hurts! I was wrong!" Han Chen hurriedly begged for mercy. As the saying goes, one move reminds me of the mind, which can be said to be twice the result with half the effort. Han Chen immediately got rid of the flower and wood, rubbed his ears, pointed at the flower and wood, looked panicked, and said insignificantly: "You... wait... wait... and wait until I pack up and settle the score with you!"

"Puchi!" Looking at Han Chen's fleeing figure, Hua Mu shook his head helplessly and could only go down to prepare for tomorrow's food.

After not having a while, Lu Su came to the hall and said with a serious expression: "I am Lu Su to pay homage to Your Highness!"

Han Chen rubbed his ears in the seat, waved his hands and said, "Sit!"

"Prince! Your ears......" Lu Su pointed to Han Chen's ears, and said in confusion.

Han Chen waved his hand and said, "It's okay! Is there anything wrong with Lord Lu?"

"Your Highness like this! This is the expense in this month! and the remaining money of the country! Now the king is not here! Please take a look!" Lu Su handed the bamboo slips in his hand to Han Chen, his face calm, as if he was as stable as Mount Tai.

Han Chen took the bill and kept looking through it, his face sinking! He paused for a while and said, "Mr. Lu! There is a list of national expenses!"

"Report to the Crown Prince! King Xiang's tomb can be completed in the second half of this year! There is also military expenditure! This includes the renovation of military weapons and the new weapons developed by Master Lu Ban! Mass production! Plus the salary of ministers! The expenses of the palace! There are also the 500,000 immigrants in Zhongshan. These days, 200,000 elderly, weak, women and children have been introduced one after another! Resettlement is needed! The king's tomb also needs to be started! This is also a cost!" Lu Su said with a serious face.

"New weapons! What are they?" Han Chen looked puzzled and threw the bamboo slips in his hand aside, with interest on his face.

"This time, there are two additional siege equipment! They are ladder trucks and rushers! One is for soldiers to go up to the city wall, and the other is used to break through the city gate. These two things need to be built on the spot, and the road is difficult and unlucky, so they started to build directly at the border! It also saved some manpower!" Lu Su said calmly.

"By the way! I remember the king once mentioned the use of labor for relief! These 200,000 people still use this plan and start building their grandfather's tomb first!" Han Chen looked calm and said that he had never seen his grandfather yet. It seemed that he would have to go to the palace to pay his respects if he had time.

"The prince said it is naturally good, but the 200,000 people consume a lot of food every day! Three meals a day! There are still consumption, but it will not be too big if this continues! Although the 300,000 people have settled, there are still 40,000 to 50,000 people, and they have not been arranged! These 200,000 people are still a hole!" Lu Su said with a serious expression.

Han Chen stroked his beard and said calmly: "I understand this! I asked Sima Xiangru to retract 200,000 people from Hai Rui's hands for a month's food! You first calm the people's emotions! Then you disperse the 40,000 to 50,000 people and distribute them to various places, so that county officials from all over the country can receive them! In order to reduce the pressure from the court!"

"Crown Prince! I am here to discuss with you! Can I turn the commercial grain in the prince's hand into military grain! In this way, I can spend some of the money! The financial pressure of the national treasury!" Lu Su said embarrassedly.

"No! The war changes rapidly! The troops have not moved! The food and grass are coming first! My commercial grain is stationed on the border! Once the war is over, I will naturally return it to Lord Lu! But I can't move now! Just in case of an out-of-time need! Let me tell Lord Lu this time! The expenses of the palace can be reduced! I will deal with the matters in the harem! Including the salary of my prince's mansion has also been reduced! As for my father's mausoleum, I will not build it for the time being!" Han Chen said calmly.

"Crown Prince! This is impossible!" Lu Su lost his soul when he heard this.

"Master Lu! If your father asks, just tell him! You need money to fight a war! I will make up for him even if I sell the money! But after the war is over, he will do whatever he wants to do. He will let him do it! Anyway, he has no money now." Han Chen's face was calm, and now he can only increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

"promise!"

"Master Lu! How is the income and expenditure of the Ministry of Revenue?" Han Yi said in confusion.

"Report to the prince! The country's taxes! Commercial taxes! Because of Qi, there is another salt tax!" Lu Su said calmly.

"Well! You can work hard on the salt tax! You can Duoduo and the grassland! Southern Barbarians! Western Shu! There is no salt source in the three places! The price of salt is cheaper, so it is best to make it affordable for the people! The development of the salt road can become one of the main taxes of the national treasury!" Han Chen once attended the Jixia Academy and accidentally learned that this salt is something used by the nobles, and ordinary people can't afford it.

"Prince! This salt is really time-consuming and labor-intensive to make! The price is reduced! Qi is not a little less income!" Lu Su was surprised.
