"The minister thinks that the matter of water conservancy cannot be delayed. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info sent Si Tian and Si Shui, two attendants, plus two inspectors, and four directors to go to the banks of the Turbid River. In addition, the Ministry of Household immediately calculated the cost of repairing the embankment, which was converted into money and grain and allocated to the Ministry of Industry. ”

Shi Wen took a step forward and replied with a bow.

In fact, it is not difficult to send people to build flood control levees, but the real difficulty is that the imperial court has no money!

If you don't have money, how can you build a dam?

Han Xiu also reduced taxes for five years and promised not to increase forced labor, so where did the imperial court get the money and find people to work?

Being the emperor is not something you just say.

Shi Wen deliberately avoided the important and light, but the Shangshu of the household department could not help but speak.

As soon as Shi Wen's words fell, Zhou Shangshu immediately stood up, and began to call poor with a bitter face, and the central idea was one sentence - there is no silver in the household!

If you don't have any money, what will you do to build a dam?

"What Shi Aiqing just said is converted into money and grain. If there is no silver in the household, there should always be food, right? Han Xiu was not stupid, and immediately seized the "loophole".

It's a pity that Zhou Shangshu is still crying poor.

"Your Majesty, not only does the household have no silver, but even there is not much food!" Zhou Shangshu drooped his face and spared no effort to cry, "Originally, there was still some surplus grain, but it was all given to the Northern Jin Dynasty before." In addition, the flood is coming, and this year's harvest is not yet known, so it is always necessary to save some food for the relief of the victims. ”

Otherwise, hunger turns a person into a devil.

Why did the Great Gift destroy the country?

In addition to the tyranny of the second prince, taxes were increased in many ways, and forced labor was levied, but also because of the drought for many years, which led to no harvest in many places.

The people can't even eat, and they are about to starve to death, how can they not rebel?!

In short, the food of the household department cannot be moved! Resolutely not moving! It's all important for this!

Zhou Shangshu stiffened his neck and looked at Han Xiu fearlessly, as if a sentence was engraved on his face - if there is no food, there is a life!

Han Xiu looked at Shi Wen helplessly, waiting for Shi Wen to stand up and speak. It's a pity that Shi Wen lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard it.

Han Xiu clenched his fists, anger churning in his chest.

"Shi Aiqing, the household department is short of money and food, do you have a way to solve it?" Han Xiu tried to suppress his anger and asked again.

"There are many ways to fill the treasury. For example, mining is opened, salt is sold, taxes are collected. Shi Wen said flatly.

Han Xiu was even angrier in his heart, isn't this the same as not saying it? He had already announced to the world that he would reduce taxes, and it was naturally impossible to levy more taxes.

So, how does he know where there is a mine? Where to mine? Or, how does he know where salt is available and how to sell it?

Shi Wen deliberately didn't make it clear, he was waiting to see his jokes, right?

Han Xiu clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his hands burst out. He only felt a surge of anger rush from his ribs, and the blood in his whole body rushed to the top of his head.

I'm afraid that not only the mining and salt sales, but also the performance of the Ministry of Industry, as well as the crying poverty of the Ministry of Households, were all arranged by Shi Wen!

Han Xiu's face turned a little blue, and the green tendons on his forehead swelled out, and several tendons near his temples were constantly beating.

He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger and keep himself from exploding.

"As for how to fill the treasury and allocate funds to the Ministry of Industry, it will be handled by Shi Aiqing at his discretion." Han Xiu didn't understand it anyway, so he had to push it to Shi Wen.

"Commandment." Shi Wen did not refuse.

Han Xiu's face became more and more gloomy, and he was more sure in his heart that these things were arranged by Shi Wen, just to continue to control the power of the court.

Then, several times the discussion was like this, and Han Xiu's anger became more and more intense. finally survived until the end of the discussion, and was almost about to retreat from the dynasty, but Shi Wen stood up again.

"Your Majesty, since the Great Shun Dynasty has been established, the ministers think that they should reward the meritorious heroes as soon as possible." Shi Wen lowered his head slightly and said with a glance.

"Oh? Then Shi Aiqing thinks, how should I be rewarded? Han Xiu was extremely angry in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he asked with a light smile.

"The ministers think that they should be rewarded for their meritorious deeds." Shi Wen still lowered his head slightly, his tone did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he replied expressionlessly.

"Then Shi Aiqing thinks that according to merit, how should the Shi family be rewarded?" A hint of coolness flashed in Han Xiu's eyes, and his tone was a little sarcastic.

Everyone in the court is a human spirit, and when they heard Han Xiu's question, they felt the unhappiness in Han Xiu's tone, and they were all shocked in their hearts.

What does the emperor mean by this?

It seems that I'm disgusted by the reward?!

"The minister thinks that the Shi family should be crowned the king of the opposite sex according to their merits for Dashun to stabilize the rear, provide grain and grass, provide soldiers, and provide money and materials." Shi Wen finally raised his head, looked directly at Han Xiu, and said word by word, neither humble nor arrogant.

The ministers were shocked, they didn't expect Shi Wen to be so straightforward.

Han Xiu's eyelids trembled fiercely, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, he looked at Shi Wen with a gloomy face, but did not speak.

Silence, eerie silence.

The atmosphere is stagnant.

After a long time, the officials below stiffened, and Han Xiucai laughed out loud and said, "Father-in-law is really good at laughing!" Don't worry, I won't treat the Shi family badly. ”

"But ......" Han Xiu paused slightly, raised his eyes to look at Shi Wen, and said, "The Shi family really can't be crowned king." The Shi family is a relative, unless the queen is deposed, otherwise, the Shi family will never be crowned king. ”

"Shi Aiqing rest assured, I will try my best to compensate the Shi family in other aspects." Han Xiu said that in the end, his face was sincere, as if he wanted to take out his heart and prove it to Shi Wen.

Shi Wen didn't speak, just looked up at him. After looking at it for a while, a meaningful smile appeared.

"Then the emperor, let's abolish the queen!"

Some ministers plucked out their ears, thinking that they had misheard. It's a pity that the whispers around him prove that he is not the only one who hears it.

Old man Shi is crazy!

This is the first reaction of many people.

However, someone immediately thought of something, quickly lowered his head, and did not participate in the battle between the two bigwigs.

Han Xiu was stunned for a moment, looking at Shi Wen for a long time and couldn't react. His eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears at all.

Shi Wen actually let him be abolished!

Old man Shi actually let him be abolished!

Old man Shi has done so much, what does he want to do?

……

Until the early dynasty, Han Xiu didn't figure out what kind of medicine Shi Wen, the old fox, was selling in the gourd.

But he knows one thing - Shi Wen wants to be crowned king!

However, the more Shi Wen wanted to be crowned king, the less Han Xiu would succeed him. After Han Xiu returned to the imperial study, he only muttered for a while, and the will of the king was all prepared.

There are five wills.

First of all, it is a vassal king who divides a land, one of whom has two feudal titles, and both of them have heavy troops.

Then, there were two generals, but they defected to Han Xiu in the later stage, and they were brave on the battlefield, and they were Han Xiu's most useful generals.

The last one was Han Xiu's brother before the uprising. Although he didn't have many war exploits, he was Han Xiu's henchman and was most trusted by Han Xiu.
