Of course, Yan Qiheng felt that the starvation of the people of Jin and Shaanxi was a small matter, and his head was a big move, so he replied crisply, "If you ask the minister's personal opinion, the minister supports His Majesty's proposition at the court meeting today, but the ministers are against this matter, and with this summer's harvest, there is still more than enough for self-use, if Your Majesty wants to help the people in Shanxi and Shaanxi, the expenses will increase a lot, it is a big hole." How to fill? ”

I have made a stand for myself, I didn't say I don't support it, but whether you can withstand the opposition of hundreds of officials is not a question for me to worry about.

Tianlang pondered for a moment, and asked Youyou: "If the inner treasury doesn't care about the household department asking for silver, can you use this money to fill the stomachs of the people in the two provinces?" The royal family is such a hundred and ten people, some grievances are nothing, you can use the queen's own money to pay in advance, and the 300,000 taels of silver in your household must be used by me for military expansion and warfare in addition to necessary expenses, and there must be no shirk. But Shanxi and Shaanxi are afraid that there will be no harvest this year! I still can't care about the lives of the people of the two provinces! ”

As soon as Tianlang finished speaking, Yan Qiheng bowed down again, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty's benevolence is comparable to Yao Shun, and it is the merit of the royal family to help the people of Shaanxi and Shanxi with internal money, Yan Qiheng has nothing to say, only to thank the emperor for his grace on behalf of the people of Jin and Shaanxi!" ”

"Okay, get up, don't be like a mother-in-law, wipe your tears at every turn. There is no money in the inner treasury, I will find a way to help the people of Shanxi and Shanxi, you have to prepare immediately, arrange for someone to go to Xiangyang as soon as possible to supervise, and I will also write to Chen Youlong, ordering him to build more ships in Xiangyang and receive the victims of the Jiangbei River. ”

Yan Qiheng is grateful that Dai De is gone, and while walking, he sobs, Tianlang does not think too much about people's hearts, if they really think badly, they will wear new shoes and follow the old road, and continue to repeat the mistakes of the previous Ming Emperors, as long as Yan Qiheng is willing to implement his major intentions, Tianlang will not punish him.

Yan Qiheng had just retreated, Pang Tianshou led Wang Kun and all the eunuchs who were in charge of ceremonies to kneel in front of Tianlang, and the Han generals who were on duty in the court with Deng Kai and Jinyi Wei also knelt down, which made Tianlang no different.

"Which one are you singing about?" Pang Tianshou looked stunned, lowered his head and arched his hands, and said in a trembling voice, "The old slave wants to thank the people of Jinshan for long live, the old slave has no knowledge, I don't know why Yao Shun is allowed to be a person, the old slave only knows that the old slave really treats the people like parents." ”

Deng Kai said angrily: "What Chief Pang said is right, Long Live Lord is the best Long Live Lord in the world, I would rather suffer myself than help the local people, but the minister has something to do, and it shouldn't be what Dolgon should do to help the people of Jin and Shaanxi?" Jin and Shaanxi are still in their hands, even if the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, it should not be long live. ”

"Tired?" Tianlang seemed to be questioning, and as if he was asking himself, "If this drought, Shaanxi and Shanxi can starve to death less, I would rather work more for this child god." ”

Then he told them all to get up, and Tianlang said to Wang Kun again, "Wang Kun, you go and pass on Hou Xing, I have something to explain to him." ”

When the weather came, Tianlang was looking through the information about the circulation of special products and commercial taxes in various provinces. The pug-like nature of the dog gave Tianlang a salute, so he came over on his knees, and asked very doggedly, "What do you command?" ”

Tianlang squinted at him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and asked with a smile, "I have a headache, do you have a good home remedies?" ”

Hou Xingmung Bean's eyes turned, and his unashamed expression immediately turned into a sad face, and he sighed and said, "If Wan Sui Ye's headache is due to heart disease, then although Xiao Chen has no home remedies, it is very likely to become a medicine for Wan Sui Ye." ”

"yes, what do you think my heart disease is?"

"Long live the heart of the lord...... Hou Xing pretended to hesitate, and then said indignantly: "Naturally, those old people in the court are not ashamed, and it is difficult for the long live lord, and the long live lord is worried about the expansion of armaments and war because of the lack of money." ”

Tianlang raised his head and scolded with a smile: "Okay, this ability to observe words and colors is already the ultimate!" You don't go to court every day, but you don't know anything about the major events that happen in the court. ”

Hou Xuan avoided Tianlang's slightly questioning question, and answered the first half of the sentence lightly, "Hehe, what is the observation of words and colors, the minister's mind is on the troubles of the Long Live Lord, and it is the duty of the minister to worry about the monarch, and the matter of the early dynasty has already spread, I heard that the Long Live Lord wants to relieve the people of Jin and Shaanxi, and the minister knows that the household department will definitely not be able to take out so much grain, think about it, there are so many people in the two places, less than two million stone grain, it is definitely a drop in the bucket." ”

"Hey, there is yours, the idiom says a set. With such a big knowledge, why did you go to the door of the king's house on the wedding day and embarrass me? ”

It was not embarrassing to mention this, and only then did he burst out with a sentence, "Xiaochen doesn't know why you chose Xiaochen!" Besides, no one told the minister that he had to endorse in front of the Wang's house. When you mention this, the ministers have the heart to die. ”

Tianlangle flickered, "You have to die, if it weren't for the high madman that day, you would have been beaten to death by Chen Youlong!" ”

"Isn't that what you said, that day the minister hid behind Deng Kai, Deng Kai is our own brother, so naturally he won't watch me be beaten."

"Come on, it's not all brothers who cover you, it's all over, seriously, it's not just about helping others, we have to help ourselves first. At the beginning of the year, the household department only allocated 2,000 taels of silver to the inner treasury, and I have to add another mouth to my home, so I am now having a headache, whether to eat heterozygous noodles tomorrow or Guanyin soil. ”

When Hou Xing heard this, he jumped up and scolded: "What is he Yan Qiheng, is there such a bully, long live Lord actually fought a few days ago, he didn't have time to sort out the government, the tiger is not at home, and he is still called the king!" ”

Tianlang's face was as usual, and he was not moved by Hou Xing's righteous indignation, Hou Xing saw that he had performed enough, and Tianlang was not in the mood to cooperate with his acting skills, so he stopped and listened without speaking.

After a long time, Tianlang nodded, "Well, you are a person with a heart, I can see that the royal family has also spent a lot of money on you in the past two years, and I can't forget it." But the royal family can't always count on the minister to make money to support him, you can help me think of a way, run it, get a few profitable deals, and fill the internal funds. ”

Hou Xing sighed and said: "My long live lord, the minister has been waiting for your words for a long time, the situation between the north and the south has just stabilized, and it is time to clean up the mess at home, and the inner treasury has no money, which makes people even more anxious." Let the minister think of an idea, there is one of the fastest things, is to increase the commercial tax! ”
