Li Zhi and Han Yi didn't talk for long, because Li Zhi thought that Han Yi didn't need to ask him for advice on everything, would it be okay to do this? Is it okay to do that? If Li Zhi understood, then he wouldn't be so passive, anyway, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than now, so Li Zhi is just a meaning, you just look at it yourself, I'll give you all the power, you hurry up and do it, you just do it well, you don't need to consider any of my feelings.

Han Yi came out of the Liangyi Hall and sat on the steps in a daze.

"Oops! Shang Shuling, why are you still sitting here? ”

Zhang Desheng saw Han Yi sitting on the steps and hurriedly walked over.

Han Yi glanced at Zhang Desheng and sighed: "I want to calm down, oh, sitting here won't get in your way, right?" ”

Zhang Desheng saw that Han Yi was at a loss, and he also knew that Han Yi was more memorized, and now this Shangshu Ling was a stove, and no one dared to sit on it, so he hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay." Would you like to pour you a cup of tea? ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

Zhang Desheng hurriedly ordered someone to pour tea with him.

Han Yi sat on the steps with a tangled expression, but he smiled in his heart, haha! This is what I want to do, this deal, I want to get everything I want, haha.....!

Of course he has a way to settle it, but he won't be stupid enough to say that as soon as he returned to Chang'an, he immediately divided the matter by two, and settled the matter, this is worth doubting, such a big crisis, of course, you have to be nervous first, and as long as the crisis is not lifted, then he is the boss, of course he has to take the opportunity to make a fortune first.

He sat on the steps for a while, drank a cup of tea, and then stood up and walked towards the household, on the side was a group of guards protecting him, now Han Yi can not have any accidents, Li Zhi specially sent hundreds of Ouchi masters to protect him alone.

Today's imperial city is the entrance hall of the birds, the front of the official office is all forbidden army, everyone needs to enter and exit the procedures of the military department, the guard is very strict, this is the military takeover, of course, there are not many people in the imperial city now, because the important ministers are under house arrest, and the people who have a relationship with them are all driven home, that is, some officials and some sword and pen officials are left here to do things, at least to maintain the operation of the imperial court.

Because Li Zhi is not clear about the situation for the time being, how did it come to this? But he didn't have time to investigate at this time, so he simply did it and cut it straight to the point, so that no one else would get in the way and make it worse, which was a very wise decision.

Han Yi went straight to the household.

Zhang Daxiang, Zheng Shanxing, and some household officials were standing in front of the door waiting.

As soon as Han Yi saw Zhang Daxiang, he was furious and said: "Zhang Shilang, when I handed over the household department to you, I told you to give advice, but you repaid me like this?" I really misjudged you. ”

Zhang Daxiang immediately jumped up, pointed at Han Yi and said, "You are embarrassed to talk about me." Oh, you said to leave it to me, that's mine? You don't want to think about it, there are still people in charge of this, do you know how I spent that time, those people up there stared at me every day, even when I didn't exist, what could I say? What do I dare to say? I walk on thin ice every day, if I weren't smart, I'm afraid my little life would be gone. Moreover, don't just talk about me, he is more thorough than me in his good deeds, he resigned at that time, and I just took sick leave. ”

Your uncle, Lao Tzu just became Shang Shuling, you don't give any face! Han Yi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zheng Shanxing.

Zheng Shanxing said: "At that time, you really can't blame Zhang Shilang, although Zhang Shilang's official position is not small, but his power is very small, and many things are beyond his control. ”

Zhang Daxiang didn't seem to have vented yet, and shouted: "And if it is like this, you can't blame us, Xu Yushi has been in charge of it for the past two years, you have to blame him!" ”

"Okay, okay! Let's go in and say, go in and say, MD, it's a shame to be thrown on the street. ”

Han Yi couldn't make a move, but he was smacked up, all kinds of depression!

What about the three fires that the new official said was in office?

But if you really talk about it, he really doesn't have the qualifications to be angry, he is surrounded by beautiful women at home every day, living a fairy-like life, and he also goes to travel, Zhang Daxiang pretends to be sick at home every day, he is so scared that he trembles, and he doesn't even dare to go out of the door, of course, if he is very good, Han Yi will not hand over the household to him, not to mention Zheng Shanxing, he is already about to go bankrupt, everyone is qualified to be angry, but Han Yi does not have this qualification, because this matter has a lot to do with him.

Enter the hall.

Han Yi coughed lightly and said, "Let's settle this account in the future, and hurry up to stabilize the situation first." What's going on today? ”

Zhang Daxiang snorted and said: "The situation is very simple, that is, now the country can no longer come up with a penny except for barely supplying military spending, and the official offices of many states and counties have been closed. ”

"You go and talk for a long time, which means that you don't say anything."

Han Yi looked at Zheng Shanxing again.

Zheng Shanxing immediately informed Han Yi of the situation.

Now the situation in Chang'an City is much more serious than when Li Zhi came, now Chang'an City, not to mention silk cloth, even copper money can't buy things, because the road is blocked, those goods are difficult to reach Chang'an, especially grain, this Chang'an grain, originally not enough, because there are too many people, are dependent on imports from other states and counties, now this grain has become the most valuable thing, and no one knows how long this situation will last, at this time who still wants copper money, can you eat, can't eat and say a ball.

Fortunately, Li Yifu did not impose taxes in Chang'an, because he had to hide from Li Zhi, he did not dare to impose taxes in Liangdu, and the people still had some grain in their homes, because they began to shrink their clothes and diet a long time ago, because the economy was in recession at that time, but it was not much, and it didn't last long, especially the citizens, who couldn't hold on for too long.

Later, Cui Jijian came up with an idea to take out the granaries of those important ministers who were under house arrest and help the workers in the imperial court workshops to ensure that they would not starve to death. But this one was taken out, Li Zhi was dumbfounded, especially in Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong's house, the food is piled up, and it can really help many people, and some princes also took the initiative to take out some of the food in the house, because the emperor took out his own food, can they not take it, they are completely supported here by their food, otherwise, many people will starve to death.

Han Yi rubbed his forehead and said, "Isn't there a little good news?" ”

"The good news is that you're here."

Zhang Elephant Road.

Han Yi was stunned when he heard this, raised his head to look at him, passed halfway, held his forehead with one hand, and said, "Go and bring the financial report." ”

Zhang Daxiang immediately submitted the financial report.

Han Yi looked at it, his eyes hurt really much, it was an overall deficit, because the central government had no income, and some places wanted to transport taxes to Chang'an, but the cost of this transportation was higher than the taxes, and the food sent could be eaten on the way, and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "If you want to, we won't wait for you to come, we have been waiting for you here for half a year." ”

“......！”

Han Yi groaned for a while, sighed, and said, "Since there is no countermeasure for the time being, let's save expenses first." ”

Zhang Daxiang was surprised: "Save money? Is there still this must? ”

With no expenses, what else do you save?

Han Yi said: "Who said it's not necessary, why are we under so much pressure now, one of the reasons is that there are still so many expenses waiting here, if the government doesn't want it, then our pressure is reduced a lot?" Moreover, if we come up with ways to make some money in the future, it can be used on the cutting edge, and not all of it will be used for the welfare of officials, who eat well, and will it have any effect on the current situation? ”

Zhang Daxiang nodded no, shook his head no, he really wanted to remind Han Yi that we are also officials!

Zheng Shanxing said: "Are you going to cut officials? ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "If the officials are cut, they can stop paying them, and they can also return all the resources they occupy to the treasury." ”

Zheng Shanxing said: "How much do you plan to cut?" ”

"Many, many, many."

Han Yi said: "In addition, a few of us can't do anything, you immediately find me all the people who can be used now." I'll go meet them first. Oh, count the list of people who Xu Yushi and Li Yifu have placed in our household department, and our household department must set an example. ”

Zhang Daxiang immediately understood and said, "I know! ”

Now that the military has taken over, of course he has to go and communicate with Li Jizhao.

Fortunately, it is not very far, now Li Ji and they are all performing official duties in the military department, and when Han Yi went, Li Ji, Qi Bi He Li, Yang Sine, Xue Rengui, and Ashina Mi Shot were all there.

"Is it fun to travel?"

When He Li saw Han Yi, he asked in a strange way.

When he heard that Han Yi was going on a trip, he almost didn't vomit blood, when the trip was not good, but at this juncture, he forced them to directly dispatch the army and go all over the world to find Han Yi, which really made them really want to die, it was a stomach of resentment.

Han Yi sneered: "General Qibi, I have been keeping filial piety at home for two years, and after keeping filial piety, I want to go out for a walk, what's not to do?" You are all in Chang'an, and Chang'an turned out to be like this, are you embarrassed to blame me for coming too late? ”

Qi Bi He Li was speechless by Han Yi for a while.

Li Ji was also embarrassed, he also regretted it very much now, if he had stood up earlier, maybe it would not have become so serious, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, these words will be talked about after this matter is settled, the most important thing at present is how to get through this hurdle." Han Yi, we're counting on you now. ”

"I've just arrived, and I haven't figured out the details yet, and the only way I can come up with it now is to reduce the pressure on the treasury first, because the burden on the treasury is too heavy now."

"And what are you going to do?"

Han Yi said: "Cutting officials, large-scale layoffs of officials. ”

Li Ji frowned and said, "You came to us, meaning that the military will also be cut?" ”

"That's what I mean."

Han Yi nodded and said: "But the words of the military, the soldiers do not move, and those who have made war exploits do not move, mainly because in the past few years, they have relied on what ancestral shade and relationship, and they have mixed rice and eaten in the army, these people are high, but their contribution to the military is small, and whether they have it has any impact on the army, and now they can't send out their money, I mean these people will be laid off first." But now it's up to the military to stabilize the situation, and if it really doesn't work, then don't force it. ”

Qi Qi He Li immediately said: "I have no opinion on this. ”

Ashina Micha, Yang Sine, they all said they had no opinion.

They are all generalissimos of the Tang Dynasty, and their subordinates are all experienced in a hundred battles and have made military exploits, especially in the past few years, they have conquered Goguryeo and Baekje, and they have fought with Tubo over there, and many people have made military exploits, but in the past few years, those who have been mixed into the army have no military merits, and most of them have something to do with Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, which they really don't care.

"In this way, as a commander-in-chief, we can lead by example, and if the country is in trouble, we also have to do our part, if we want to lay off people, we will lay off our relatives first." Li Ji knows the current situation, and he must fully support Han Yi.

And Han Yi means that those children and grandchildren in the army are swords, Li Ji and their children and grandchildren are all soldiers, and they will lay off their children and grandchildren first, so it is inconvenient for the people below to say more.

The commander-in-chief also said that there is no problem, it is already this time, the country is in chaos like this, if you take care of your own selfish interests, the country will be finished, and there will be no eggs under this nest!

Moreover, after this hurdle, their children and grandchildren will still be able to come back, after all, their identities are all here.

"Thank you, thank you."

Han Yi arched his hand again and again, and said: "In this way, I will go and ask Your Majesty first, if Your Majesty agrees, in terms of military generals, it will be handed over to Sikong and the generals." ”

Li Ji nodded, now he is not afraid of offending people.

Han Yi said again: "In addition, there are robbers everywhere outside, and if the road is not passable, the goods will not be able to enter Chang'an at all." ”

Xue Rengui said: "We have wanted to send troops for a long time, but the problem is that once we send troops, we must get food and grass first, and now the military salary may not be replenished." ”

Those bandits, where are the opponents of the Tang Army, they really have no money, and if they have money, they will be destroyed long ago.

Han Yi said: "At that time, I will find a way to mobilize food from Yangzhou and Muzhou to support you, but what I hope is that I will not send troops in the name of the military." ”

Li Ji frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Han Yi said: "If the army is dispatched, it means war, and if the object of war is the people, it means the outbreak of civil war, which may cause negative effects." So I plan to set up a police force to expand the forbidden army, nominally in the name of the royal police, and this number can't be too many, otherwise they can't afford it, they mainly maintain law and order, as long as they scare the robbers, instead of really eliminating the robbers, to eliminate them one by one, it's too time-consuming, and the court can't afford it now. ”

Li Ji nodded and said, "There's no problem with this, I don't know who to send?" ”

Han Yi said: "Cheng Chuliang, he is the most suitable, first, he is the chief superintendent, and second, he is transferred to the Civil Security Bureau by the military." "I laughed in my heart, you Cheng Er, you always asked me to help you take the blame, and now I have to toss you.
