Shaw was dumbfounded.

Xiao Ruizheng was also dumbfounded, how could he have thought about this.

Xiao Ruide said: "Jin Zhaojun is the descendant of Uncle Jin, so it stands to reason that they shouldn't be too embarrassed to recruit their younger brothers." He said so on his lips, but he also had no bottom in his heart.

If you want to talk about the lineage, the Xiao family has also taken the Xuanyuan family as the lineage over the years, but what has the Xuanyuan family done? Rebels and thieves, everyone will be punished, even if it was the fault of the Xiao family before, but hundreds of years have passed.

Dong Ruyi didn't say anything, she didn't want to answer Xiao Ruide's words.

Xianglan walked in with tea, "It's not early, the slave maid asked people to prepare the meal for the little prince and the prince." ”

Xiao Ruizheng looked at Xianglan, then looked out the window, he got up and said, "Ruyi, I'll go back first, Yu'er is still waiting for me in the house."

And don't let her know about this in advance, you don't have to make her blame herself. Anyway, it's a matter of time before you go south, so it's a big deal to take a step and see a step. I don't believe that my father's subordinates can still eat me alive. ”

Dong Ruyi nodded in response, Xiao Ruizheng is good to Xiangju, this is what she wants to see.

It's just that Xiangju's personality is only suitable for managing the inner house, and she is not suitable for interfering too much in the military and political affairs of the imperial court.

After Xiao Ruizheng left, Xiao Ruide also stood up.

"Ruyi, I won't stay for dinner. Today's matter, I think it's better to trouble my son. It's really not okay for him to talk to the emperor's uncle and delay the time to go south. The specific time of going south is not just a sentence from the emperor's uncle. ”

Dong Ruyi said: "Actually, I also mean this. She lowered her voice, "That's what I thought......"

Xiao Ruide was tense when he heard this, and he exclaimed: "Three years of money and food, where is there so much silver in the imperial court?"

Dong Ruyi rolled his eyes, "You heard it right, it's three years, it's just a statement." When the time comes, settle for the next best thing, a year. It's just that in the future, Jin Zhaojun's military salary must be paid first, otherwise it will be difficult for his cousin to live in the future!"

Xiao Ruide hurriedly said: "We are poor now, and we can't be poor in the southwest." I will go and tell my father about this. ”

Dong Ruyi nodded, "I'll say hello to my father later, the household department has saved some silver in the past two years, but in this way, Uncle Huang is going to be in a hurry again." ”

Xiao Ruide said in a low voice: "You obviously have a way, why do you want to scare him?"

Dong Ruyi said: "I don't want to scare him once, he can learn to be obedient in the future? If he goes to the southwest, our mountain is high and the emperor is far away, he will have to think twice before doing things!"

Xiao Ruide said: "You really responded to Lord Dong's words, and you have the heart to it up." Alright, I'll go back. Don't think about it, let's Xiao Jiaerlang, which one can still suffocate urine. ”

Dong Ruyi shouted: "Ming, I'll spread your words to Uncle Qing's ears." ”

Xiao Ruide stumbled, "Grandma, I was wrong. He yelled and ran.

Han Xiang on the side muttered to herself: "This son likes our young lady so much, why doesn't Lao Tzu look down on our young lady?"

Dong Ruyi laughed out loud when he heard it. Hanxiang is talking about King Qing and King Qing's son, the father and son.

Dong Ruyi said: "Xianglan, tell her why Prince Qing doesn't look down on her young lady." ”

Xianglan said seriously: "Lord Qing hates iron but not steel, hates our young lady for not loving the court and the people." She laughed out loud as she spoke, "Our young lady and he are both unforgettable, but everyone's ideals are too different." ”

Han Xiang also laughed when she heard this, "Is Lord Qing mistaken, he is a man who should serve the country, but our young lady is a woman, what does that Lao Shizi do?"

Xianglan smiled: "Miss, look at how powerful our Hanxiang girl's mouth is. ”

Dong Ruyi said with a smile: "Okay, if Prince Qing talks to me about national affairs again in the future, Miss Ben will say the words of Miss Hanxiang." ”

Han Xiang blushed and said, "Miss laughed at the slave maid, and the slave ignored you." She turned around and ran in.

***

Dong Ruyi wrote a letter, and then asked Xianglan to deliver it to Dong Wende.

Dong Wende looked at the contents of the letter, took the court clothes and went back to the household department.

Dong Wende didn't sleep all night, and King Qing was destined to be equally unable to sleep.

King Qing turned it over and over, and he couldn't understand how Dong Ruyi was embarrassed to ask for this money and grain, and this opening was still three years.

She just doesn't know what the situation is in Da Zhou now, so just ask Dong Wende to know.

Although Da Zhou has been recuperating in the past two years, not to mention Jin Zhaojun's three-year salary, it is one year, and I am afraid it will be difficult.

On the morning of the second day, after the court, the emperor left Liu Xiang, Wei Xiang, King Qing and Dong Wende to discuss the matter of the king of Jinnan going south.

The reason why Dong Wende was left was because the emperor and Dong Ruyi thought of one place, they were both worried that Xiao Ruizheng would not be able to carry Jin Zhaojun, and they both wanted Xiao Ruizheng to bring Jin Zhaojun's money and food to the south in the next few years.

The emperor said: "Dong Qing, can the household department have extra money and food, and can pay Jin Zhaojun's food and salary in advance?"

Dong Wende was stunned for a moment, and he saluted and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the flood in Shandong is exempt from taxation for ten years, the flood in Liangguang and Guangxi in the previous year is exempt from taxation for three years, and the conscription in Sichuan and Guizhou has been conscripted for many years, and many lands have been left uncultivated......

Dong Wende first talked about the situation in various parts of the Great Zhou, and then talked about the taxes in the past two years, and finally Dong Wende said: "If you advance Jin Zhaojun's food and salary in advance, the household department can advance it for one year." If it exceeds one year, the household will not be able to make ends meet. ”

The emperor was shocked in his heart, Dong Wende rarely spoke on weekdays, and even if he did, he only said that there was no silver in the household.

Dong Wende's image of being a dime a dime has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but fortunately, he is in charge of the household department, which is really much better than two years ago.

The emperor said: "What do the other Qing families mean?"

Liu Xiang looks at the nose with his eyes, and his nose looks at the heart. But his heart was no longer calm, and Dong Wende's reaction made him frightened. Dong Wende has only been in the household department for two years, and he already knows the household department so well.

Dong Wende is really interested in the household department, he learns the affairs of the household department little by little, he can't embarrass his daughter, let alone let people say that the emperor is mediocre and nepotistic.

Wei Zhongxian disagreed with this, if the king of Jinnan was allowed to bring grain and salaries to the south, then the treasury would be stretched thin. In case something big happens somewhere, how will the imperial court respond?

Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not approve of bringing food and salary to the king of Jinnan to go south, Jin Zhaojun is the descendant of the prince of Jin, even if the king of Jinnan goes alone, they will not treat him well." The imperial court can no longer withstand any toss. ”

The emperor sighed when he heard this, his body can fool Da Zhou so far, he has done his best.

Liu Xiangdao: "Why don't you let the businessman donate silver?"

Merchants have the most silver on their bodies, and often in this case, let them donate silver to get the money the fastest.
