Lin Hao raised his hand and motioned for them to get up:

"All the secretaries, please get up, now that the situation has been decided, if the ministers have anything to say, even if they say it bluntly, I will listen to it. ”

"Your Majesty, in recent years, there have been successive droughts in the north, and the people have not had enough to eat, and many people have fled to other countries. ”

A civil servant stepped forward.

"I know, go on. ”

Lin Hao gave the courtiers a positive signal and encouraged them to speak up.

"Your Majesty, over the years, Ao Guang has controlled the government, and capable people and wise men cannot enter the court as officials at all, so I implore Your Majesty to recruit talents. ”

"There are also floods in the south, where tens of thousands of people have been displaced. ”

“......”

The courtiers admonished one after another.

For a while, Lin Hao's head was about to explode, and he couldn't help but rub his brows.

Ao Guang, what have you done in the past so many years of ruling the government? The people are in dire straits, and you can still think of going against me? You are really bold enough, and you are not afraid of the people's rebellion?

Seeing that the more the courtiers talked, the more serious it became, he stopped it in time:

"Zhongqing's problems are divided into three categories, one is the drought in the north, the second is the flood in the south, and the third is the lack of talents in the court, what do you think about these three problems?"

"Your Majesty, the north needs disaster relief. ”

"The south wants it too!"

"Recruitment is the key, it is related to the fortune of the country!"

The courtiers rushed to say.

Just as they were talking fiercely, Tian Daren, who was in charge of the treasury, came out with a sentence:

"The treasury is empty, not to mention 500,000 taels, even 300,000 can't be taken. ”

Hearing this, the courtiers exploded.

"What? That's the treasury, how can it not come up with money?"

A military attache immediately questioned.

"I'm in charge of the treasury, but Ao Guang covers the sky with one hand, I haven't seen a lot of money for so many years, and the treasury is ...... now"

As Tian said, he looked at Lin Hao, who had a depressed face, swallowed the words behind him, and bowed his head without saying a word.

I can hold on, such a big country, it won't be only 100,000 taels, right?

Lin Hao scolded a few words and asked directly:

"How empty is the treasury? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the treasury is now only 100,000 taels. ”

In the end, Tian Daren's voice was like a mosquito chirping, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

"What did you say?"

Lin Hao seriously suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

This is the Great Qianhou Country! No matter how you say it, it is also a country! It is so empty!

That's it, there are still 100,000 taels, although 100,000 taels is small, it is also money.

"It's 100,000 taels, Your Majesty, these are still copied from the Ao Guang family. ”

Lord Tian hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again.

This, this is too exaggerated, isn't it?

For decades, there has not been a penny in the treasury!

My heart really can't stand it, blame me for being optimistic too early.

The corners of Lin Hao's mouth twitched out a few times, and all his ambitions were beaten back to their original form by the words "the treasury is empty".

"Lord Tian, is what you said true or false?"

Qian Lao knew that Ao Guang could only enter and exit the treasury, but he didn't expect that the only money left in the treasury was still copied from his home.

Tian Daren knelt on the ground, so angry that his shoulders trembled again and again, and he cried:

"Ao Guang controls the government, big and small things have to be paid from the treasury, each time it is at least 100,000 taels, over the years, you can also see that he is getting fatter and fatter, but what about us?

"Not to mention the people, hey, blame me for being incompetent, several times I asked Ao Guang about taxes, he was vague, coerced and enticed, I, I have no way to save my life! Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, please forgive Your Majesty. ”

"It's Ao Guang again, what the hell is he doing behind our backs!"

"Three years ago, he paid the account from the treasury, and I was next to him at that time, and I dared not speak out. ”

Not only that, but he had to get money from the treasury even if he dug a well at home. ”

“......”

This was originally a meeting to admonish the court, but it turned out to be a meeting of Ao Guang by the courtiers.

What they said was righteous indignation, and they wanted to divide the corpses of Ao Guang's five horses.

During Ao Guang's reign in power, the only meaningful thing he did was to repel the demon clans that harassed him from time to time, and that's it.

Ten years ago, when the flood in the south occurred, he would rather reduce taxes than send people to relieve the disaster, and his name was extinguished, and the damned people would not survive.

At that time, there was an uproar between the government and the opposition, but because of his strong power, no one dared to say much, or Qian Lao and a few civil officials really couldn't stand it, so they privately raised funds and hired people to relieve the disaster.

At that time, the south could be described as a million corpses, starvation everywhere, and the phenomenon of cannibalism was not uncommon.

Because of Ao Guang's inaction, the original 80 million people of the Great Qianhou State are now less than 30 million, which can be described as "vast and sparsely populated".

Even if Ao Guang has been subdued, the bad influence he caused continues, the people in the north continue to flee to other countries because of the drought, and the people in the south are even more pitiful, once the flood comes, there is no chance to escape.

Lin Hao, who was sitting on the throne, had no idea in his heart, if he had any thoughts, it was to take Ao Guang to the court and whip him in public to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Whew, don't be angry, no matter how angry you are, you can't kill him, and even if you kill him, you won't change anything.

He forced himself to remain calm and exhaled a long breath:

"Zhongqing is calm, it stands to reason that Ao Guang is greedy for so much money and should not disappear out of thin air, but Ao Mansion has confiscated it, and the gold and silver obtained are only 100,000 taels, which is too big a gap with the silver lost by our country's treasury. ”

"In!"

Cheng Zhou stepped forward and said respectfully.

"I just heard you say that Ao Guang dug a well, you immediately take someone to search, all the wells near Ao Mansion must not be spared, if there is no well, go to pry the floor, smash the wall, flower pots, flower beds, and supreme beam tiles for me, no place can be spared!"

Lin Hao's eyes were blazing, and anger was rising all around him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Cheng Zhou left in response.

Although he used to be Ao Guang's confidant, since he was appreciated by His Majesty, he naturally got close to the little emperor, and now he is even more trusting and loyal to the little emperor.

When the courtiers heard about Lin Hao's arrangement, they were all shocked and looked at this little emperor with admiration.

The little emperor who is ignorant of the world knows so many places to hide money, could it be that the little emperor also has a hobby of hiding things?

Lin Hao was really frightened by such an empty treasury, but fortunately he had come to his senses:

"You go to do the things of Qian Lao's recruitment, the imperial examination, the examination every three years, the time is set in September, the martial arts competition, the competition every three years, the time is set in May, and the specific rules are discussed with Su Xiao and several Taifu. ”

"Your Majesty, but will the disaster in our country continue to be carried out?"

Old Qian's face was full of worry, and after experiencing the Aoguang Palace, he seemed to be even older.
