At the same time that the carriage of the Nine Princes' Mansion drove out of the city, Li Xun had already ridden to the palace and reported to Li Jingyaoyu: "The Nine Princesses took a group of female dependents out of the city and went to the direction of the summer resort. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"March hasn't been spent yet, what kind of summer is this avoidance? Did you send someone to follow? Li Jingyao put down the fold in his hand and raised his eyes and asked.

"I've already sent someone to follow." Li Xun paused after speaking, and lowered his voice a little, "The city has been searched, but the person who caused the trouble has not shown any traces so far, and the minister guesses that he has escaped from the city?" Or is it hiding somewhere? ”

Li Jingyao crossed his hands to support his chin, and thought for a while before asking, "How happened to the few Southern Chu rebels caught that day?" Will you speak? ”

"Their mouths are too hard to say anything, but the fabrics used on their bodies are all from the old Zhuang shop in the west of the city, and the criminal department has already started from the old Zhuang shop, and I believe that there will be results soon." Li Xun glanced at Li Jingyao's face, and finally could secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhou asks to see you." Sheng Zhe entered the inner hall unhurriedly, a little more panicked than before, and finally improved.

"Xuan."

"That minister......" Li Xun was busy saluting, and as soon as his body moved, he saw Li Jingyao waving his hand, and said that it was okay, which made Li Xun's heart warm.

At this time, Li Jingyao was the most suspicious, no matter who made a little move, he would be suspicious, but he didn't know when he became his confidant.

Zhou Yongnan bent his back and walked in step by step, his face was anxious but he didn't say anything slowly, and he said even more slowly: "Old minister...... See the Emperor's ......"

"Come, give a seat." Li Jingyao looked at him coldly, if it weren't for the fact that he was the patriarch of the two dynasties, the position of prime minister would have been removed from him a long time ago.

What kind of high morality and meritorious deeds are just the flattery of hundreds of officials.

"Qi to the emperor, the old minister was entrusted by Yuan Ming, the secretary of the household department, to discuss with the emperor the amount of silver that Dali and Wu Yue pay tribute every year." Zhou Yongnan raised his head, with the intention of relying on the old and selling the old.

Li Jingyao's eyes wiped a trace of fierceness, and soon covered a smile again, and asked, "What's wrong with the amount of silver?" What is the old prime minister's opinion? ”

"In the past few years, the emperor has thought about the people in everything, the land tax has been low and low, and he has also adopted a child reward, and in the long run, the treasury has long been overwhelmed." Zhou Yongnan shook his head slightly and said, "The old minister thinks that he can appropriately increase the amount of silver tattooed by other countries. ”

Li Jingyao said "oh", picked up a cup of cold tea, brought it to his mouth and stopped, looked at Sheng Zhe and said, "Don't you know how to change the tea when it's cold?" ”

"Yes...... I'm going to change it. Sheng Zhe stepped forward to take the teacup, turned around and was about to leave, and listened to Li Jingyao's advice, "The tea has also been changed, and this year's new tea is too old." ”

Zhou Yongnan's wrinkled face became even more twisted, and he turned sideways impatiently, reminding: "The emperor is really particular about tea, but drinking too much new tea hurts the stomach, and it is not as good as old tea." ”

Li Jingyao hooked the corners of his mouth, smiled faintly, did not show any emotion, and said softly: "I think it is inappropriate for the old prime minister to pay tribute just now, the economy of various countries has been tight recently, I asked for an increase in tribute at this time, how can they bear it?" ”

"That's their business, if they don't want to accept it, then the emperor will send troops to destroy it, just to expand the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty." Zhou Yongnan has reached this age, but he is still full of murderous energy, and he admires war even more.

Li Xun interjected coldly: "Can the prime minister know that he sent troops casually, and there were countless casualties, and the most bitter people were not the people?" ”

"If the First Emperor thinks the same way as you do, will there still be a situation of domination of the world? Those people were born poor, so what about suffering? In the final analysis, the people are the most ruthless, they will not be grateful for this benefit from the emperor, once the country changes hands, don't they still wag their tails to lick the feet of the new master? Isn't Nan Chu the best example? Zhou Yongnan was annoyed by Li Xun's questioning tone, and his words couldn't help but be ugly.

"How can the prime minister look at the people like this, if the people hear that the highly respected Prime Minister Zhou is so despise human life, wouldn't it make the people feel cold? Prime Minister Zhou represents the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the court has lost the trust of the people, what will be the consequences? Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat! ”

Li Xun didn't agree with what Zhou Yongnan said at all, the person who practiced martial arts was a little anxious, and he couldn't care about anything for a while, so he blurted out his words.

Zhou Yongnan was so angry with him that his face turned pale, Li Xun was just the head of the Imperial Forest Army, what qualifications did he have to talk nonsense in front of his old seniority? But when he looked at Li Jingyao, he saw that Li Jingyao had no reaction with a calm face, so he couldn't help but hold his breath, and said word by word: "The current imperial court is full of miasma, and it is harmed by you young people, if there are a few more old seniors......"

Li Jingyao didn't want to listen to his complaints, so he interjected in time and interrupted: "Okay, old prime minister, I love the people, and the people around me also love the people, isn't it normal?" ”

The meaning of conniving at Li Xun in his words is already obvious, if Zhou Yongnan says it again, it means that even Li Jingyao, who is the emperor, has been scolded by him, and Zhou Yongnan will never do such a stupid thing.

Seeing that he had a gray nose today, he was about to retire, but he heard Li Jingyao say: "I plan to vigorously promote medicine, what does the old prime minister think?" ”

Doesn't it cost a lot of money to promote medicine? Li Jingyao didn't know whether he was angry with him unintentionally or deliberately, all in all, Zhou Yongnan's eyes were straight, and he shook his head and waved his hand again and again: "This ...... This is unacceptable, the treasury is seriously damaged...... The emperor thinks twice......"

"I think it makes ......," Li Jingyao said, looking at him quite solemnly and said, "The old prime minister is thoughtful and careful, and I am very relieved, so I will leave this matter to you." ”

Before Zhou Yongnan could refuse, Li Jingyao added: "I know that you can definitely do it." ”

"The great task of advocating medicine has been handed over to Prime Minister Zhou, and the minister also believes that with Prime Minister Zhou's ability, he will definitely be able to do this thing without leakage and successfully complete the emperor's task." Li Xun hurriedly responded and said.

Zhou Yongnan was so angry that his beard was about to fly, he came for tribute, but when he left, he picked up a hot potato.

It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to run a medical museum, plus this natural and man-made disaster, the medicinal herbs are expensive, and in order to promote medicine, a lot of rare medicinal herbs must be needed, which is a huge expense. I don't know how much time, energy, and money I need to recruit talents from all over Kyushu?

Therefore, whether this thing of advocating medicine can be done or not, it must be done, and the money invested must not be wasted.
