Domineering space queen

Chapter 476 Preparing for the Navy
Heng Xuan's eyes lit up, but then darkened again.

He also knew that many honorable people had a lot of money, but it was not easy to get money out of their pockets!
At this time, a middle-aged official stood up, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Households does not have any money. After sorting out the records of the Ministry of Accounts, I found that since the founding of the country, many ministers have issued IOUs to the Ministry of Households, and now they have accumulated more than 1000 million taels! "

Heng Xuan didn't speak.

Shutong wondered: "How can someone borrow money from the imperial court and not pay it back?"

The middle-aged man was the Minister of the Household Department. Although he also felt that women should not interfere in the affairs of the court, seeing that His Majesty valued the Eldest Princess very much, he still answered seriously.

"That's right. IOUs owed to the Ministry of Households for the ten great contributions to the founding of the country that we fought together in the past have been accumulated from generation to generation. In addition, many upstarts and wealthy families have borrowed one after another!"

In fact, this can be regarded as an old calendar, after all, it is the top ten meritorious service in the founding of the country, two princes and eight lords!

The meritorious family has a lot of ostentation and servants. If they want to maintain a luxurious life, they have to borrow money from the court!

This habit continued, especially when the Zhennan King was in charge of the government, there were many upstarts, and they still paid IOUs to the court as usual.

Hearing this, Shutong nodded, "Since you owe money, you should pay it back!"

The servant of the household department smiled wryly, "The people who borrowed money are all honorable families. If they don't take the initiative, who would dare to come to the door to collect debts? I once sent someone to get through the mouth, but they all cried poorly. Your Majesty, I am incompetent in this matter!"

Shutong frowned, "I owe you the money and I'm a master!"

"General, how much silver do you need to form a navy?"

The general was startled, and quickly said: "It takes at least 200 million taels to form a navy that has begun to take shape, and the annual military training is also a big expense!"

That means raising an army is burning money!
Shutong asked: "Then ask for what you owe first, it should be enough!"

The general nodded, and then smiled wryly, "It's all the old almanac from the old year. If you want to go back, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

Heng Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Eldest princess, look at this matter...!"

Shu Tong gave him a sideways glance, and said with a cold snort, "Your Majesty won't want to assign me this errand, will you?"

Heng Xuan sneered, "I am also helpless, is the eldest princess willing to make a move?"

"Let's talk about this later! Who is that? Go back and sort out the debts and send them to my house. One day I will be happy and ask for the debt for you!"

Heng Xuan was overjoyed, "I'm relieved that the eldest princess is out!"

"General Liang, since you have the confidence to build a navy, I will reduce the palace expenses and raise 100 million taels of silver for you. Do you have the confidence to build an invincible navy?"

General Liang raised his chest and clasped his fists when he heard this, "Your Majesty loves me so much! I'm willing to die!"

King Zhao and King Qi are both from the royal family, and they didn't owe any money to the Ministry of Households, but His Majesty spoke up, so they could only grit their teeth and donated 50 taels each!
General Liang did not expect to raise 200 million taels at once, and he was overjoyed.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to build a navy for Da Zhou!"

Shutong thought about so many things in her warehouse, and asked the housekeeper to sort them out and donate them later!
After all, he is also an immortal cultivator, these mortal things are nothing!
Shutong stood up, "Since the matter has been settled, I'll go to the theater!"

She turned, and the two princesses followed immediately, like maids by her side.

They chose the right one, and His Majesty actually obeyed the Eldest Princess, as long as they curry favor with her, they wouldn't have to suffer with their relatives!

Walking to the door, a little eunuch answered.

"Report to Your Majesty, the little prince of East Island has woken up!"

"Hmm! Is there any fear of life?" Heng Xuan felt that it was better for people to live!

The eunuch replied, "Young Master Bai has rejuvenated, and there is no serious problem!"

"It's just...!" He paused.

Heng Xuan shouted: "Hesitating, what else?"

The eunuch took a careful look at the three princesses before carefully saying: "The envoy of Dongdao requested that Princess Zhenguo personally serve the little prince as a token of apology!"

Shutong had already stepped out, but stopped when he heard the words, "What are you talking about, let me serve that Sancunding?"

The little eunuch didn't dare to look up, "This is how the envoy sent the message!"

Heng Xuan laughed angrily, "He's just a barbaric prince, he really takes himself seriously, dare to work for the princess of the town!"

Shutong smiled, "Your Majesty, since we are planning to form a navy, can I make a toy!"

Heng Xuan instantly understood what she meant, and said cruelly, "As long as the eldest princess enjoys herself! It doesn't matter if she dies!"

Shutong clapped her hands, "Come on! I'll serve you!"

Everyone present understood what she meant, and all of them had abnormal expressions.

Is the eldest princess really planning to kill the little prince of East Island?
Your Majesty is too impatient, it is not easy for the two countries to fight!Besides, it's better to keep it as a hostage!

Seeing the three princesses go out, the general didn't dare to hesitate, "Your Majesty! I can start preparing to recruit troops!"

King Qi and King Zhao looked at each other!If you decide to go back, prepare money.

Heng Xuan nodded, "With the assistance of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of War, we will establish a navy belonging to the Great Zhou as soon as possible!"

Over there, Shutong asked the little eunuch to lead the way to the place where the envoy of Dongdao lived.

The two princesses Anping and Anshun hesitated for a moment, but also hurried to catch up.

"Princess, are you really going to serve that man?"

Shutong said cheerfully, "Yes, they have all called the roll call, of course I have to go, you can go together if you have nothing to do!"

Princess Anping was a little worried, "Eldest Princess! I think the Dongdao people are quite fierce, should you bring more guards?"

After all, Prince Dongdao was injured by the eldest princess. If the three of them went without guards, would they be beaten up?

Shutong smiled, "You have also tasted my fist, don't worry, I am the best at beating people!"

The two princesses shut up instantly!

Today's contact, it seems that the princess of the town is very talkative, follow her, she is not unreasonable!
On the contrary, the eldest princess did not support the marriage, which freed them from the fate of the marriage, so naturally they wanted to have fun with her!
When they got there, they found that there were quite a few guards from the East Island Kingdom in that courtyard, all of them glaring.

That naked gaze made the two princesses turn red and extremely annoyed.

An envoy from the East Island came out of the door and saw them.

Frowning, he shouted: "It's just right that the eldest princess is here, go in and serve my prince!"

Princess Anshun snorted, "A small envoy dares to speak like that, don't forget that this is the land of Great Zhou!"

The man's face sank, "If you hurt our noble little prince, just wait for the king to show his power!"

"A sensible person serves the little prince honestly. He is comfortable. You may suffer less torture, otherwise...!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound, he was slapped by Shutong and flew away, with a bang, he fell into the water lotus jar in the courtyard!
Head down, flopping!

The Dongdao people were shocked and quickly pulled him out.

Not everyone attended the banquet, so some people still don't know how powerful Princess Zhen is.

Immediately, someone pulled out a knife, "Bold! Dare to hurt your lord! Even a princess can't escape!"

Anping was a little nervous, but Anshun was elated!

The eldest princess made a move when she disagreed with her. It hurts to hit her, but it's quite enjoyable to watch her beat others!
