Chapter 706: Post-War Crisis
Ye Hua was holding a palm-sized piece of beeswax in his hand, which was being carefully polished, the so-called thousand-year-old amber, 10,000-year-old beeswax. This stuff was made by condensing pine oil from a few years ago, so the texture is very soft and has a pine scent.
Ye Hua threw the polished crumbs into the stove at hand, emitting a dazzling bright yellow fire, and the smell of pine permeated the entire room, which smelled very good.
At Ye Hua's feet, there are two hairy little mastiffs lying on their stomachs, which is also a tribute from Tubo, a legendary beast that can fight with lions and tigers!
I don't know if these two little things can withstand a rolling slap when they grow up!
Ye Hua thought with a smile, at this time, the door suddenly opened, Lao Wei walked in quickly without being informed, sat opposite Ye Hua, and saw that he was still polishing beeswax, Lao Wei was angry!
"Do you still have a heart? When is it, the plaything is demoralized! ”
He stretched out his hand to grab it, Ye Hua hurriedly dodged away, and said: "Wei Xianggong, I have been away from home for almost two years, and I finally came back, this is a gift from my son and daughter, otherwise they won't call me dad!" ”
"Phew!"
Lao Wei scolded: "You just have such a pattern? It's really contemptible! ”
Ye Hua wasn't angry, he just polished patiently, "The radical method is useless to me, if there is something, just say it, otherwise please leave, don't disturb my work!" ”
Lao Wei is going crazy, Ye Hua is not very old, but he has learned the skill of hob meat, he can't be steamed or cooked, and he doesn't know what he does?
What kind of moment is this, everyone is going crazy, as long as he can be as safe as a mountain!
Lao Wei took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice: "Three days later, the holy car will return to Beijing, in addition to rewarding the meritorious heroes, there is another thing, that is, to elect the successor prime minister, you know?" ”
As if he hadn't heard, Ye Hua continued to stare at the beeswax in his hand, until Lao Wei's patience was about to disappear, Ye Hua raised his head blankly, "It is the responsibility of the household department to recommend officials, and the selection of the prime minister is the meaning of the Son of Heaven. Ye Hua said innocently and blankly.
Lao Wei hated it so much that he wanted to tear Ye Hua's face into eight petals and feed the Tibetan mastiff on the ground!
"Don't play tricks on me, you kid, in a word, just ask if you can help?"
Ye Hua finally smiled, he stuffed the beeswax into his sleeve, and said happily: "Wei Xianggong, it's hard to speak for you, don't worry, the position of prime minister, no one can do it except you!" I'll do my best, don't worry! ”
As a candidate for prime minister, Ye Hua has been thinking about it more than once.
Originally, Fan quality was more suitable than Wei Renpu, but Lao Fan had been a secretary of the ministry, and all the officials were promoted by him, and if he succeeded him as prime minister, his power would be too great.
The rest of Xue Juzheng and Zhao Shangjiao are all uncaught, and as for the ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, they can't convince the public, Zhao Pu, Shen Yilun and other middle and strong generations, and they are still hot.
After all, Lao Wei can do it.
He was willing, and Ye Hua naturally readily agreed.
"In fact, with the status of Wei Xianggong, there is no need to worry, even if there is no me, the prime minister is stable! Who makes you respectable? ”
Wei Renpu squinted his old eyes, drank tea, and could hear Ye Hua's sycophants, he was still very useful, but Lao Wei's face sank.
"Champion Hou, the old man came to you this time to tell you that no matter what, you are not allowed to push me to be the prime minister! If you dare to do this, the old man will kill himself immediately! ”
As soon as these words came out, Ye Hua was taken aback.
"I said Wei Xianggong, you didn't take the wrong medicine, right? Prime Minister, one person is below 10,000 people, how many people have survived all their lives, and they can't be in a position, and now they are at your fingertips, but you want to push it out, what are you thinking! Ye Hua asked Lao Wei in a strong questioning tone.
There was a hint of hesitation on Wei Renpu's face.
In fact, since Guo Wei's time, he wanted to surpass the other two and truly become the prime minister, and this dream has been done for ten years...... But when it was really about to be realized, Lao Wei was afraid.
He stood up, shook his official uniform, and then bowed deeply to Ye Hua.
"Master Hou, we have joined hands with each other, and we have fought with each other, and the previous grievances and grievances have been written off...... I only ask you for one thing, this time no matter what, to help the old man and avoid this prime minister, I am grateful! ”
Wei Renpu said, bowing to the ground and bending it ninety degrees.
It's really embarrassing for the old man, a handful of age, and a good waist!
He bowed in front of him and forced Ye Hua to agree.
But what should Ye Hua do?
Who else can take over as prime minister besides Wei Renpu?
How can the cabinet chair sit firmly! It is necessary to have prestige, but also means, and self-knowledge, such people are too difficult to find.
Ye Hua was stunned for a long time, and reached out to help Wei Renpu up.
"Wei Xianggong, I can promise you, but I want to know the reason!"
Lao Wei nodded, "Master Hou, this is a long letter that Wang Xianggong wrote to me half a month before he died, you can take it and take a look!" ”
Wang Pu's letter!
Ye Hua's face was shocked, he took the letter, and the familiar font jumped in front of him.
Looking at it line by line, there are all kinds of situations described by Wang Pu on it, the more Ye Hua looks at it, the cooler his heart becomes, and in the end, his scalp is numb and trembling all over!
"How so?"
Lao Wei nodded slightly, "Master Hou, it's not that the old man doesn't want to be the prime minister, it's really my limited talent, and I can't clean up this mess!" Wang Xianggong was tired to death, and I sat in that position, but I was afraid that I didn't even have his ability. Master Hou, if you are in a hurry to attend the funeral of the old man, just roast me on the fire! ”
After finishing speaking, Lao Wei didn't wait for Ye Hua to answer, and got up and left directly.
As for Ye Hua, he grabbed Wang Pu's letter and read it three times, from the initial shock, to the end he became calm. He pondered for a long time before he called his henchmen and invited Fu San over.
"The situation written above is basically true, and as far as I know, the situation is much more serious than I think!" Fu San told Ye Hua very bluntly.
"That'...... Why didn't you say it earlier? ”
Fu San smiled, "Master, even if the concubine says it, can you give up the Western Regions?" Can Your Majesty nod? The battle is not over, and another five million are ready to emigrate! He came as soon as he opened his mouth, who knows how much financial resources it will consume! Wei Renpu is a smart person, if he sits in that position, he will be crushed to death in less than three days! ”
Ye Hua pressed the door of his head that was about to explode, and asked helplessly: "Madam, you have been running the industry for so many years, is there no good way?" ”
Fu San hesitated for a moment, and shook his head helplessly, "I have used all the methods that can be used, people say that I am the goddess of wealth, but I know in my heart that I owe the most debts in the world, and I can't pay them off if I want to!" ”
Ye Hua sighed, silently walked to Madame's side, and wrapped her hand around her shoulder, "Madam, it's all my fault, all these years, you have been carrying debts for me!" ”
Fu San's nose was sour, and then he smiled again, "Who asked me to owe your family, the master should figure it out by himself, I still have to take care of San'er, that kid is getting more and more skinny!" ”
Fu San broke free from her husband's embrace and wanted to leave, but Ye Hua didn't allow it, but reached out and grabbed her flexible waist, and put Fu San across her legs.
Although it is an old husband and wife, this shape is really indecent.
"What are you doing?" Fu San asked angrily, but then she couldn't say anything, and the lips of the two people were printed together......
The next day, Ye Hua was refreshed and seemed to have left all his troubles behind.
He talked and laughed with all the generals, talking about how much the court would reward and how the people of the capital should welcome them.
"Ludosun, you bastard!"
Xu Xuan, who temporarily led the Shangshu of the degree branch, was so angry that he scolded, and his pupils were congested...... The treasury is empty, there is no silver money at all, the warehouse is empty, there is not a grain of grain, except for the grain that is often closed for disaster preparedness, the capital can not find other food.
Not to mention the grain, even the original satin cloth has disappeared,
The whole Kaifeng, there is nothing left!
And the hundreds of thousands of troops outside are returning one after another, and the rewards for the victorious soldiers alone will cost at least 20 million taels!
Lu Duoxun didn't want to curry favor with the prince at all, this grandson wanted to run away and leave the mess to others!
Xu Xuan was anxious, looking around the capital, there were not many people who could still come up with money.
"Taifu, can, can you temporarily borrow a little money from the court to tide over this difficulty?"
Chai Shouli was much older than a few years ago, and he chuckled, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
"The old man will do his best, but he can only come up with a million taels at most!"
"A million?"
Xu Xuan was shocked, and said in his heart that Chai Shouli didn't transport silver back every year, boat by boat, legend has it that he has mountains of gold and silver, why is there only one million taels?
"Taifu! This ......"
"Do you want to say too little?"
"It's too little, at most there can be a triumphal ceremony!"
Chai Shouli shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Xu Shangshu won't know who the person who returned triumphantly is!" He has my blood in him! Will the old man feel sorry for money? ”
Chai Shouli forcibly suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice: "In this way, I will find a way to raise two million, and the triumphal ceremony must be done in a sound and impressive manner, don't slack off the soldiers!" ”
"So, what about next?" Seo Hyun was about to cry.
"Next......" Chai Shouli smiled bitterly: "Then you can only ask someone more capable to clean up the mess!" ”
After speaking, Chai Shouli left the mansion and got into the carriage, he thought about it, there are not many people in the capital who still have strength, Dou Yujun can't do it, the war is over, the order of the workshop suddenly stopped, whether he can tide over the difficulties is still between the two. The wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, he has already borrowed a lot of money, and as for the others, they don't have the financial resources......
After all the calculations, the Ye family is left, to be honest, Chai Shouli doesn't know how deep Ye Hua's family background is. Comparing his heart to his heart, he has hollowed out all his family resources, how good can Ye Hua be?
Three days later, the men and horses returned triumphantly, and they couldn't let the soldiers chill! Not for the sake of face, but also for the stability of the world, if people know that the First World War defeated the Great Zhou to the end, and the Quartet took the opportunity to rise, it would be troublesome.
Chai Shouli turned around for an afternoon, and finally came to Yefu ...... When the Ye family saw Chai Shouli, the old lady didn't say anything, but said: "The son-in-law and daughter of the old man just now came back from Luzon and escorted 1.5 million taels of silver, if the Taifu needs it, take it!" ”
