"You said that the Duke of Wen'an County presented my birthday gift to me, but he actually asked to come to the Zhou Mansion?"

Li Jia was a little unbelievable, but he felt it was natural: "No wonder, there was a lot of money in the past, but today it was difficult to adapt to the food, food, oil and salt."

Li Yu and his wife have fallen to this point, and it is indeed a must for the literary youth to have a hard time.

However, we are brother-in-law at least, and life is so sad that it is not good for people to talk about it.

"Forget it, just don't promote it."

At Liu Wen, Li Jia shook her head and said, "Among the nobles, if there is no restraint and squandering, sooner or later there will be many people like this. You and me should keep a close eye on it. If you violate the law and discipline because of money, just talk to me directly."

"Especially, those who do not want to pay taxes for small profits cannot be concealed."

"No——" Liu Wen was in charge of the Imperial City Office. Upon hearing this, his body trembled and he quickly responded.

"How much money is the palace going to spend on this birthday festival?"

Li Jia turned her head and asked Tian Zhongdao, the young supervisor of the provincial minister, who was standing beside her.

In recent days, the provincial eunuchs have become increasingly busy, and Tian Zhong cannot be with the emperor all the time. Li Jia is a little unfamiliar, but he has always been diligent in his work, which makes him quite satisfied.

"This is the 25th birthday of His Majesty. Both the court and the palace are preparing to hold a big show and have a good time to be worthy of this prosperous age."

Tian Zhong smiled and flattered, saying good things, but the numbers in his mouth made Li Jia tremble:

"The Ministry of Revenue has taken out 500,000 guan, and the inner treasury has also taken out 500,000 guan to celebrate with the people and celebrate with the whole world."

"One million coins!"

Even though Li Jia was used to being rich, he couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard this number: "The court is just the time to use it tightly. How could it be so luxurious? Such a huge amount of money is afraid that someone will stab the backbone."

"Your Majesty, you worked hard for several years without expanding the palace, deposed the tribute, and gave birth to Buddhas from thousands of families. You can only eat a few dishes a day. It is even more cost-effective than the family of middle-aged people in your family. I saw it and felt aggrieved. In previous years, how could there have been such a wronged king as you have?"

Tian Zhong looked aggrieved, knelt on the ground, and said in a crying voice:

"Look at those officials and nobles, which one is not much better than you. I really can't stand it because you are so wronged. It just so happens that you have a birthday. The ministers of the court and the concubines in the harem all think that you should celebrate with great tribute to you, the wise king..."

This flattery shocked Li Jia, and he couldn't help but doubt his life:

There are only a dozen concubines in the harem, more than 3,000 palace maids and eunuchs, and the Changsha Royal Palace is less than one-tenth of the Daming Palace in the past. Each meal is only five or six dishes. I am indeed too frugal and completely incompatible with the emperor's identity...

Liu Wen was stunned. This flattery was so extraordinary.

Look, frugality, talking about frugality in the palace is simply a hooligan.

Who doesn't know that the palace can get two million guan a year, which can match the two taxes of a mansion. The emperor was frugal in food, but the vegetables were boiled with hundreds of kilograms of broth. As for daily use, silk, satin, jewelry, gold and silver, and spices, which is a small amount of money.

However, Shaofu Temple makes a lot of money, which makes the expenses of the palace not so eye-catching, and the court does not know the cost of the palace, so the emperor seems to be frugal.

He knew it in his heart, but Liu Wen still cooperated and said: "Your Majesty works day and night, but his food and clothing are extremely limited. This is the journey of the sage king of all ages. It is more lively and will also fulfill our feelings for the king and father."

"Yeah!" These words sound nice, and Li Jia was quite helpful. He also felt that he had felt a little wronged over the years. He had not done a good job in the Birthday Festival over the years. Now he has been done together in the past few years, and one million yuan is not much.

"That's it!" Li Jia nodded and said, "But I have something to say first. If it interferes with the people and defamates my reputation, I can't spare you."

"Don't worry, your majesty, I will definitely do it properly."

Tian Zhong responded seriously.

Liu Wen was quite envious of the fact that one million trump card could earn tens of thousands of trump card even if he followed the rules.

In the feudal era, the emperor's birthday was a grand festival in the palace. It was equally important to New Year's Day and Winter Solstice. It was always extremely lively and had a variety of names and was not unified, such as the Qianqiu Festival, the Long Festival of Heaven, the Flat and Earth Festival, the Celebration Festival, the Jiahui Festival, etc. Every emperor will have his own birthday, name and time.

Li Jia’s birthday is unique to him and listed it. After waiting for an emperor, it will be different.

Even though Li Jia was used to being rich, he couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard this number: "The court is just the time to use it tightly. How could it be so luxurious? Such a huge amount of money is afraid that someone will stab the backbone."

"Your Majesty, you worked hard for several years without expanding the palace, deposed the tribute, and gave birth to Buddhas from thousands of families. You can only eat a few dishes a day.
