Xiao Rui took the account book and began the difficult process of asking for salary.

In the carriage back to the palace, Xiao Rui had a letter in his hand, which was left for Xiao Rui when Yuan Yuan, the concubine of Qi Guohui, left.

Emperor Qi eventually traded more than 2,000 Bactrian captives for Yuan Yuan. This deal is very suitable for Xiao Rui, but it is a pity.

What a righteous gentleman!

Outsiders slandered themselves because they robbed Concubine Hui because of their beauty, but they didn't do anything!

There are few people in the world who sit still like themselves!

As for the reason for the pity... Nima, she was wronged in vain, and her reputation for not being chaotic was only known to herself and Yuan Yuan.

When I opened the letter, there was a beautiful handwriting on the letterhead, and I saw that it was written:

"When I pick up the pen tonight, the wind and the waning moon will dawn, and I wish you peace.

This farewell, I'm afraid it will be rare to see in this life. Although he was captured by Jun, he is also grateful for the experience along the way.

Leave this letter to say goodbye, the mountains are high and the waters are long, and I hope you don't read it. ”

In just a few sentences, it is free and easy, but the delicate handwriting is a little messy at the end, and the pen and ink seem to be wet with water droplets, spread out a piece.

"Won't it be saliva?" Xiao Rui made a joke, although he had other thoughts in his heart, he just felt that it was unlikely. The two have not been together for a long time, they are the prince of Great Xia, and she is the imperial concubine of Qi, what intersection can they have?

Although Xiao Rui is very handsome.

Fold the letter and put it away, this charming princess of Qi was just a passerby to him.

After entering the palace, Xiao Rui arrived at the Heart Nourishing Hall and asked to see His Majesty.

Emperor Xia had just finished reading the recital, and was resting from reading, when he heard that the prince asked to see him, he was surprised: "Why is he here?" Looks like something must be wrong! ”

"Your Majesty, the slave maid sees that the prince is menacing, and it does look like something is wrong." Hai Dafu said respectfully.

Xia Huang nodded, and randomly became interested.

As an emperor, the terrifying guessing ability is a necessary skill to grasp the overall situation, so he speculated: "He just left the palace and went to Zhan Shifu and Huben Pavilion, Zhan Shifu is nothing, and Huben Pavilion is now impressive, the Xiao He he recruited is very powerful, I am greedy for such talents, and it is a bit condescending to be a household servant." Without using the power of the imperial court, corn and potatoes were promoted in full swing. The reason why I handed over this matter to the prince was to train him and let him know that it was very difficult to promote one thing, so he had to find a talent directly. Xiao He drew a big cake, which made the people see the sweetness, and recognized the corn and potatoes in the shortest time and the most suitable way. This is a good thing, could it be that he is here to invite credit? No, no, if this kid invites credit, he will also low-key pretend to be someone else's hand, then there is a problem... The difficulties that the Tiger Pavilion is encountering now are..."

After Emperor Xia finished speaking, his eyes lit up, and then he said, "Let him come in!" ”

Hai Dafu respectfully went to please.

Xiao Rui entered the hall with his account in his hand, he had already thought of his words, salute first and then soldier, and must make His Majesty spit out the silver!

As soon as he entered the palace, he saw His Majesty sighing there, and said: "Although the crusade against Zhao and Qi is remarkable, the treasury is huge!" Heavy rains continue in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and there are floods in the lower reaches! Huainan, Huaibei, Xuzhou and other places are drought, grain production is reduced, and Fuzhou and Ganzhou have heavy rain and storms. The officials in Daxia are redundant, the structure is bloated, and the officials even have to give officials a salary increase... I don't have any money... Ay... Money, money, as the king of a country, he has to worry about money! ”

After sighing, Emperor Xia looked at Xiao Rui and said, "The emperor is here?" ”

Xiao Rui's footsteps paused there, he opened his mouth, and the rhetoric he had just prepared disappeared in an instant.

"The son visits his father." Xiao Rui said respectfully.

Emperor Xia showed hope and asked: "Emperor, I heard that on the way back to Beijing, you copied some corrupt officials who were greedy for good land and did not cooperate with the work of Qingzhang, and I heard that you copied a lot of silver?" ”

Holy!

Xiao Rui's eyes widened immediately, he was here to ask for money, and he hadn't opened his mouth yet, but he was slandered, this is not good!

"Father, the son of the emperor leads the post of the imperial history of the right capital, and is responsible for inspecting the Liangtian Qingzhang, and the investigation of corrupt officials and corrupt officials is carried out in accordance with the court process, as for how much money is copied, the son does not know!" Xiao Rui refused.

Emperor Xia said regretfully: "I thought that the emperor was here to deliver silver, but it's a pity." ”

That's not going to work!

Xiao Rui immediately asked: "Father, although there was a flood in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, it was small in scale and did not cause a large area of Zeguo. There was a drought in Huainan and other places, and the harvest was reduced, and the imperial court had already made a decree to reduce and reduce taxes, and although the harvest was a little less, the people had enough to live. As for the crusade against Zhao and Qi, yes, a lot of military expenses were consumed, but after occupying the counties and prefectures of the enemy country, a large number of grains and treasures were continuously sent to Kyoto, and the harvest that Erchen heard not only replenished the consumption, but also had a surplus. As for the officials asking for a salary increase, hum, whoever mentions the salary increase will be killed! ”

Nima, he is short of silver now, and now he is robbing his money of raising his salary! So if you don't have a salary increase, do you want to die!

Emperor Xia smiled secretly in his heart, hey, this kid is so angry, it seems that he is really short of money. But if you are short of money, you have to find a way to get money, and you can't come here to fight the autumn breeze.

At this moment, Xiao Rui had a sad face and began to pretend to be pitiful: "Father, when it comes to having no money, the son is the master who has no money, and I also ask my father to be sympathetic to the son and the minister, for the sake of Daxia, the son of the minister took out all the family funds that he had worked hard for 19 years, and did his best for the sake of Daxia!" ”

Xiao Rui gave the account book.

Hai Dafu took it and presented it to Emperor Xia.

After Emperor Xia looked at it, he was relieved and said: "My son has a heart, and it is not only a blessing for me to have a prince like Huang'er in Great Xia, but also a blessing for the people of the world!" Sea companions, don't you say? ”

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sympathetic to the people, has the world in mind, and selflessly dedicates himself to the prosperity of Great Xia, which is really a model for the white hundred in the world!"

Emperor Xia agreed: "That's right, I also feel this way!" If you don't commend it, how can you be worthy of the prince's good intentions? I want to write the words 'Two Sleeves Breeze' with my own hands, and order someone to make a plaque and give it to the prince! ”

Xiao Rui said this, but he didn't want any fresh air, he wanted money!

"Father, the breeze on both sleeves is to commend the Qing officials, and the sons are the princes, which is not suitable. Why don't you exchange it for silver? I also asked my father to be sympathetic to the efforts of his sons, and now the expenses of the Tiger Pavilion are too large, and the sons are really stretched. Xiao Rui immediately asked for it.

Emperor Xia nodded and agreed: "The emperor is right, the breeze on his sleeves is to commend the Qing officials, you are the prince, and the future emperor of Great Xia, it is indeed not suitable to commend you." As for asking for silver... My inner money is also empty, and I don't have any money, isn't it?"

Hai Dafu didn't want to offend the prince, but he didn't dare to disobey His Majesty, so he could only answer: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has nothing in the house, and even the rats are hungry." ”

Emperor Xia nodded with satisfaction, the sea companion is worthy of serving himself for so many years, this is too good, but it is a bit fake.

Look at Xiao Rui, who is already rich in the sea, gritting his teeth. This guy is itching again, it seems that these days when this palace went to Zhao Kingdom, he has forgotten how powerful this palace is!

If you have nothing to do, you will be rich!

Xiao Rui decided to return to the business.

As for Hai Dafu, there was a cry of sorrow in his heart, what made us full of tears, it was the coffin that left in front of his eyes little by little, but he couldn't do anything!

Xiao Ruicai didn't believe that His Majesty and Hai Dafu sang and harmonized, so he shouted: "Father, it shouldn't be!" Last time, the sons honored their fathers more than 7 million taels, and the sons and daughters should not be much, just sponsor three or four million taels! Father, son-in-law is for the promotion of corn and potatoes, for the father, for the Great Xia, for the common people in the world! ”

Knowing the righteousness, I want to see how His Majesty promotes!

It's a pity, Xiao Rui forgot a sentence, the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high!

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "The emperor's promotion of corn and potatoes is for the sake of Great Xia, yes, for the sake of the common people in the world, but not for me, for yourself." You are the prince of Great Xia, and you will be the emperor of Great Xia in the future, what should you not do for the sake of your people? So it's time for you to spend your money. If I have money, I can lend it to you, you just need to write a note, and you will return it to you. But I don't have any money. The expenses in the palace are all money, and you say that I am rich, is it possible that you will investigate me? ”

So, Jiang is still old and spicy, Emperor Xia directly vetoed Xiao Rui's righteousness, and finally threatened to be a direct general!

"Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen is just speculating, how dare he investigate his father. In addition, although Erchen is a prince, he is not the emperor yet, so he should be regarded as doing things for his father! Xiao Rui tried to resist.

Emperor Xia smiled and made a killer move: "Oh, so... Are you trying to get me to abdicate? ”

"Erchen doesn't dare!" Xiao Rui shuddered, and secretly scolded in his heart, his father was too bad, and he didn't play cards according to the routine at all.

"And what are you here for today?" Emperor Xia asked rhetorically.

Xiao Rui said righteously: "Erchen also forgot what he was here for, but he definitely didn't come to ask for money!" ”

Emperor Xia was relieved: "Okay! Come, sit down. ”

"Yes!" Xiao Rui sighed, he could see it, from the moment he entered the door, His Majesty knew his intentions, asking for money? There are no doors!

Yan Xiaoxiao saw Xiao Rui deflated, and was distressed, so he hurriedly sent tea. Xiao Rui drank three cups in a row, and felt that his throat was dry, Nima, is it a hero if he has no money...

Emperor Xia smiled secretly in his heart, but, after all, he is his own son, and he has to help him, although his son is cool for a while, and he has been cool all the time, but he can't go too far, otherwise he will lose the emperor's self-cultivation.

Emperor Xia earnestly taught: "I have also heard about the difficulties of the Tiger Pavilion, the expenses are huge, and now you are fiddling with a junior college, all for the purpose of cultivating talents in Great Xia, I see it in my eyes." But I don't really want money, but I can teach you a way to make money. It is necessary to remember that it is better to retreat and close the net, and learn to make money is the long-term solution. ”

Xiao Rui's eyes lit up.
