Chapter 93 Queen Yueqian is justified, and the treasury is empty
Fusu was sad all night, but also thought about it all night, and reflected all night.
The next morning, Fusu went to the Taiji Hall with two big black circles, and Meng Qian was distressed when she saw it.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I will turn my grief into strength, my father's last wish is still waiting for me to complete, you play with our son for a while, and I will come back to you in the next dynasty." Fusu said this to Moncis.
"Go to court!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"The Qing's family is flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Today, I want to officially canonize Meng Qian, the daughter of the late Protector Meng Tian, as the queen." Fusu glanced at His Highness's ministers and said.
"Your Majesty will obey your Majesty's will." A group of people held the jade wat in both hands and bowed their heads and bent down to express their no opinion.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." Li Hui, who was standing in the queue of civil officials on the left, said out of the queue.
"What is Aiqing talking about?"
"Your Majesty, the treasury of the household department is empty." Li Hui spread his hands as he spoke, and looked at Fusu with straight eyes, as if to say: Give money quickly, and if you don't give money again, you won't do it.
"So fast?" Fusu didn't believe it.
"Your Majesty, you have to know, in the past two months, how many holy decrees and policies you have issued, how many projects have been issued in the imperial court, and how many projects have to be constructed in the imperial court, which one of these is not the master of money, and the colleagues have not issued the money last month, and there are still ······" Li Hui began to set up a dragon gate formation for Fusu.
"Do you have a solution?" Fusu knew that he was in a hurry, and he wanted to eat to be a fat man, but he didn't eat a few bites of the meal himself, and so many projects could not be completed overnight in the future, but the words were released again, if it could not be completed in time, then it would cause a huge blow to the credibility of the imperial court in the hearts of the people, and he was now riding a tiger.
"Nope." The ministers exchanged heads and ears, what can I do if I don't have money, is it possible that I will give you money.
"Your Majesty, in fact, it is nothing more than to open up sources and reduce expenditures, first reduce the expenses of the imperial court, invest all the saved money in education, medical care, etc., and then find ways to make money, such as increasing the tax revenue of the imperial court or something, Weichen is willing to take the lead in donating a year's money to help the imperial court tide over this difficulty!" Wei Zheng said with a righteous face.
"The ministers are also willing!" Suddenly, everyone in the hall was drumming.
"Well," Fusu nodded: "But everyone, what Wei Qing said about opening up sources and reducing expenditures and saving expenses are correct, but it is not advisable to increase taxes, why do we spend money, just to reduce the burden of people's lives, why do we increase taxes instead." ”
"Your Ministers understand."
"In this way, Shanchang, you can draft a decree that from today onwards, all the expenses in the palace will be halved, and I will eat three dishes and one soup every day, and I will leave the palace for three months from the inside, and the rest will be sent to the treasury." Fusu said painfully.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Everyone was full of praise.
"That's right," Fu Su thought for a while and added: "Good Chief, you and Chen Qun will stay for a while, and help me see what antiques and treasures are valuable in this Afang Palace, and they will be sold for registration, and the money will be included in the treasury." ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not good." Li Shanchang thought that he was deaf, and all the ministers also thought that he was deaf.
"There's nothing bad about it, everything is for the people of Great Qin." Fusu looked worried about the country and the people, and sighed.
"That's the case," Feng Zheng gritted his teeth and stomped his feet after hearing this, as if he had made some decision: "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to donate all the money in their families to help Your Majesty!" ”
"Wechen is also willing!"
Zhang Liang, the second assistant of the empire, Li Ru, the deputy governor of the Kowloon Governor's Office, and Yang Ye followed, and finally all the ministers said that they were blessed and shared with His Majesty.
"Okay, our monarchs and ministers are of the same heart, there is porridge to drink, there is food to eat, and to create a prosperous era for the people of Great Qin!" Seeing that the ministers donated their family property to support him, Fusu was extremely moved.
In fact, Fusu did not necessarily need the ministers to sell the family property with him, and the treasures of Afang Palace alone were enough to support the financial expenses of Daqin for several years. He did this not to isolate himself and his ministers, let the ministers stand on the same front with him, cultivate a sense of national honor and unity, and of course, Fusu would not treat them badly, at least in terms of food.
He decided to build a canteen in Afang Palace, so that the ministers could come directly to the palace to have breakfast together when they went to court, and they could also eat lunch and dinner during the day when they stayed in the Eighth Cabinet Department, so that they would not go hungry, and they could eat supper in case of overtime.
After that, each person pledged to register one by one according to the actual situation of his family.
Under the court, Li Shanchang, Mi Zhu, and Li Hui followed Fusu into the inner palace, and each of them had a bamboo slip and a pen to register the treasures left by Qin Shi Huang.
"Wife, give, you have been appointed as the queen's edict." Fusu walked into the Qianqing Palace and handed the holy decree in his hand to Meng Qian: "In the future, you will be the queen of Great Qin." ”
"Husband, in fact, I have long looked down on it in the Heavenly Palace for more than two years, and the peace and security of a family of three is the most important thing, but no matter what you do, I will always support you." Moncy gave Fusu a determined look.
"Wei Zheng, what are you doing!" As soon as Meng Qian finished speaking, she found that Wei Zheng walked in with a pen and paper in his hand to draw and draw around, and after a while, he actually picked up a piece of red coral and broke it around, and he was immediately distressed to death.
"Wei Zheng, you light," Fusu glanced at him and said to Meng Qian: "Wife, the household department has no money, but Xianyang has just been demolished, and there are not a few primary schools and hospitals, so I can only take out the things in the palace and sell them to subsidize the treasury, don't you know, Wei Aiqing donated all his wife's coffin." ”
"Really?"
"I can't fool anyone, I can't lie to my daughter-in-law." Fusu looked at Meng Qian gently and said.
"Husband, you wait." Moncy turned and ran out.
"Why are you going?"
"You'll know when you get back."
After a while, the soldiers of No. 40 or 50 Yu Linwei walked in with more than twenty boxes of heavy things under the leadership of Hua Xiong.
"That's it!" Meng Qian rubbed her hands and said contentedly.
"What are these? Why is it still locked? Fusu asked, pointing to the box.
"The dowry, my father left me."
"Meng Tian?"
"Call father-in-law!" Meng Qian was a little angry, although she crossed with Fusu, but unlike Fusu, who had never received the fatherly love of Qin Shi Huang, Meng Tian was very good to her and was a particularly competent father.
"Okay, let's take a look?"
"Okay."
"Your Majesty, I'm going to open it." Hua Xiong said.
"You can open it, ink or something."
Only the sound of the copper lock colliding with the ground was heard, and everyone looked into the box one by one.
Then, looking at the contents inside, Fusu and his friends were stunned!
