Chapter 733 Big Red Envelope for Me
On November 29th, the first year of Wude in the Great Qin Dynasty, Di Qing, Marshal of the Southwest Theater Command, led by surrendering troops, defeated Yang Shaoyuan's rebel army in the Qianren Mountain area in the southwest.

In this service, more than [-] rebel soldiers were beheaded, countless wounded, nearly [-] people were captured, and countless supplies were confiscated. The rebel leader Yang Shaoyuan was shot twice and was seriously injured.

On December [-]th, the official army won another big victory, killing more than a dozen rebel generals including Yang Shaoyuan's eldest son, and annihilating more than [-] rebel soldiers.

On December 3000th, the official army took Yang Shaoyuan, the leader of the rebel army, and more than [-] people to Wufeng Mountain, Yang Shaoyuan's old nest. By the [-]th, the rebel army was completely killed and injured.

On the 25th, the southwest rebellion was basically put down.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, in the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Emperor Jiang Chuan was calling the cabinet elders, general staff and six ministers to hold a year-end work summary meeting.

This is also what it should mean. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. All the ministers should give the emperor a summary of this year's situation, and make a plan for the things to be done next year, and the corresponding financial budget must be approved by the emperor.

In the spacious East Nuan Pavilion, earth dragons have been installed. The thick curtains block the cold outside, and the whole room is as warm as spring.

A long conference table was placed in the middle of the room, and the cabinet elders and ministers sat opposite each other according to their rank and position.

Sitting at the top of the conference table is Liu Ji, the first assistant of the cabinet, Su Qin, the second assistant, sitting opposite, and other ministers sit on both sides.

Jiang Chuan was reclining on a slum not far away, with a soft cushion on his back, with his eyes closed and rested.

"This year's expenditure has just been mentioned by the Ministry of Finance. The military expenditure caused by the Southwest rebellion has increased a lot, and the overspend is more than 100 million French currency. According to the battle report sent back by Marshal Di a few days ago, the Southwest Pingding is in these few days. It’s time. So next year’s focus is on post-war construction. Reforming the land and returning it to the locals is not only about sending officials there, but also making the natives feel the real benefits. The Ministry of Households will talk about next year’s budget Bar."

Liu Ji, the chief minister of the cabinet who is in charge of the government, took a sip of tea and said.

Naomito Tobe, who was named, straightened up and began to talk about this year's budget.

After the talk, the ministries of Shangshui began to raise different opinions. The Ministry of Industry said that roads and water conservancy should be repaired and the budget should be increased.

The Ministry of Rites explained how many more primary schools will be added next year, and the budget will also be increased.

Not to be outdone, the Ministry of Punishment said that it wanted to increase the number of official servants at all levels of the yamen, as well as increase the budget.

The Ministry of War is even a big spender, explaining how many more warships will be built next year, as well as purchasing military uniforms, improving the treatment and pensions of soldiers, etc., and requesting an increase in military spending.

The division of labor between the Ministry of War and the General Staff is similar to the division of labor between the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff. The Ministry of War is in charge of construction, and the General Staff is in charge.

Su Qin, the minister of the Lifan Academy, and the cabinet secretary also struggled to get more funds for the Lifan Academy.

In fact, the budget of the Ministry of Household Affairs is approved by the various ministries in advance, and everyone knows it well.This time, it is just a process for the emperor to listen to. All the ministries also want to fight for a little more. Maybe His Majesty will agree with it with a nod. After all, there are more things that can be done with more money.

Jiang Chuan handed over the meeting to Liu Ji to preside over it, and he himself listened with his eyes closed.Don't speak unless you feel the need to.

In his previous life, he didn't like meetings very much, especially the year-end summary meeting, which was more formal than substantive, and even more boring.

The noisy meeting lasted for three hours before it ended after the emperor nodded.

Jiang Chuan stretched and stood up from the couch, and all the ministers quickly stood up and stood with hands down, ready to listen to the hadith.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, the first year of Wude will be over. This year is the first year of our Great Qin's founding of the country. Although there are some small disturbances, it finally came over smoothly. Can there be Today's situation is all due to the concerted efforts of all my lovers to share my worries, for which I am very grateful."

Jiang Chuan's eyes swept over everyone, and said in a leisurely manner.

"The ministers are ashamed, all thanks to His Majesty's sageness." The ministers hurriedly bowed and said in unison.

"I won't say much about flattering. In such a big world, no matter how capable I am, it is impossible for me to manage it well alone. You should be very clear about my attitude. I am the helm of the big ship Daqin. Let our ship The big ship will not go astray. But how fast the ship can run and how strong the wind and waves can withstand, it depends on your love. My love, I will encourage you!"

"The ministers will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations!" The ministers said in unison, their voices a little excited.

Although the Majesty in front of me is young, he is very wise in employing people, and he has given everyone enough trust, which makes the courtiers very grateful.

"Okay, I believe you will live up to my trust and expectations, Zhang Hai." Jiang Chuan nodded in satisfaction, and shouted to the outside of the Nuan Pavilion.

The thick door curtain was lifted, Zhang Hai, the eunuch accompanying the emperor, and a dozen young eunuchs filed in, each holding a mahogany basin covered with red silk.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready." Zhang Hai bowed forward and said softly.

Jiang Chuan nodded, looked at the ministers and said with a smile: "My dear friends, the Chinese New Year is coming, and the folks pay attention to giving out and receiving red envelopes. I will also send you a red envelope today. I wish all the children and grandchildren of Aiqing good health and good luck. As one wishes."

As he spoke, he picked up the red envelopes prepared in advance from the mahogany plate and stuffed them into the hands of the ministers one by one.

The red envelope is designed to imitate the red envelopes of later generations, but it is written with words such as the first year of Daqin Wude, and it also contains a thick stack of French currency.

The size of each courtier's red envelope is naturally different according to the size of the official position.

But being able to receive the red envelope from the emperor himself is a great honor in itself, and it doesn't matter how much money is inside.

The big brothers obviously didn't expect this to happen, and after a moment of stunned, they were all excited and knelt down to thank you.

"Your Majesty has such great love, and I am so grateful. I also wish your Majesty a long life and good luck. I also wish my great Qin to last forever, and the country will last forever."

Under the leadership of Liu Ji, the chief assistant of the cabinet, the courtiers also collectively paid respects to Jiang Chuan in his early years.

For a time, the hall was full of harmony, everyone was smiling, and the monarch and his ministers were in harmony.

Suddenly a young eunuch outside the door shouted: "Report to Your Majesty, the General Secretary has sent a battle report for eight hundred miles to the southwest."

When Jiang Chuan heard it, he knew that Di Qing must have had the result, and said, "Send it in."

The little eunuch responded, hurriedly opened the door curtain, and carefully delivered the sealed battle report in his hand.

Jiang Chuan opened it, read it hastily, and said with a big laugh, "Di Qing is indeed my lucky general. It's the Chinese New Year, and he sent me a big red envelope."

After speaking, he handed the battle report in his hand to Liu Ji. After reading it, Liu Ji and others were also overjoyed.

The southwestern rebellion was put down, and the leader Yang Shaoyuan committed suicide. What could be happier than receiving such good news before the Chinese New Year.
