Chapter 32: The Tasteless Courtier
"Back to the emperor's old man, the whole world is not the king's land, the land is abundant, and the countries of the Quartet are just ordered to come to the court......
Whether it is Dongying, Goryeo, Mongolia, or Jurchen, they are not worthy of marrying Princess Yunling of Dafeng! ”
Zhao Lingxin is his appointed wife, whoever dares to rob it, Liu Huayun will fight with him endlessly, so when he heard the old emperor in front of him ask, he immediately boasted with a straight face.
"You kid said it nicely, but do you know that many ministers in the DPRK and China do not approve of the war that costs the people and money, and now the treasury is seriously empty, and they can no longer afford the consumption of a long-term war......
Xu is the sentence that the whole world is not the king's land, which makes He Yu very useful, he smiled and scolded before speaking.
"The emperor, old man, you are too modest, Dafeng now has some small internal and external troubles, but you are wise and wise, and all problems will be solved......"
With a coquettish smile, Liu Huayun continued to boast without restraint.
As the saying goes, thousands of clothes don't wear sycophants, and being flattered by him for a while, the smile on He Yu's face was a little more.
He smiled lightly and continued to ask: "Hua Yunna, I wonder if you have a good solution to the lack of silver in the treasury and the Mongolian Tartars who are still harassing my Dafeng border?" ”
"This? Old man, you know that blind forbearance will only make the other party gain more and more inches, whether it is those foreign barbarians who are ready to move, or the treacherous courtiers with two hearts, you can't tolerate the adulterous ...... old man."
Liu Huayun has no intention of immersing himself in officialdom, so when it comes to the arguments of these ministers of the DPRK and China, all of whom are silent, there is no psychological burden at all.
"Huayun, you go on, "Since he ascended the throne, He Yu, who has been forbearing, wants to say that he has no resentment in his heart against those old ministers who rely on their seniority and interfere in the government, how can it be;
Liu Huayun, who rarely had no scruples, said that in his heart, he suddenly waved his hand.
"The old man also forgive me, as long as the imperial power is stabilized and the decrees are unimpeded, your decision-making can take root in the local area, so that ordinary people can feel your old blessings......
In the end, if the people have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, no one will shout rebellion or anything, and the internal worries will be solved, as for the external enemy, the best way is that friends come and there is wine, and enemies come with shotguns......
Whether it is the Mongolian Tatars, the Dongying people, or the Jurchen people in the northeast, if they dare to provoke, they will be subdued and disabled! ”
"Yes, then, how do you do that?"
"How? As long as the assets and land of the vested interests are recovered, find a way to recover some of them;
For example, the land was collected by the imperial court and then distributed to the people, and then taxes were collected from the people according to one to two percent of the yield per mu, and other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were not allowed......
In this way, you can not only reduce the contradiction between the rich and the poor, but also make the people grateful to you;
When the common people of the world are no longer displaced, commerce will gradually prosper everywhere, and with a large number of merchants paying taxes, the abundance of the treasury will be just around the corner......
As for the current foreign conquest, but there is a lack of silver, you can catch corrupt officials and confiscate family property, and you can let merchants donate...... In this way, it is not a problem to raise military salaries at all! ”
Liu Huayun didn't want to continue, but seeing that the old emperor's interest was aroused, when he nodded frequently, he had no choice but to share his thoughts.
"Okay, Huayun, what you said has some truth, as a tasteless courtier, when I have not been summoned, you don't need to go to the early court;
However, those novel ideas need to be implemented, and the resistance to recovering the land is too great, so there is no hurry, but it is urgent to raise military salaries, so don't slack off, and go to the ministry tomorrow to take office......"
The vacant position that Liu Huayun asked for, even Emperor He Yu didn't know how many officials to position him, so after listening to him, he smiled and muttered for a while, and then opened his mouth to command.
"No, old man, I'm an acting servant of the ministry, and I can't afford such a heavy responsibility......"
I'll go, say who doesn't have a taste, you don't have a taste, as soon as He Yu opened his mouth, Liu Huayun regretted it a little, he knew that he kicked the ball to himself, and he shouldn't have said so much nonsense before;
It's good now, collecting evidence to raid the corrupt official's home, which will definitely make more and more people hate him, and while forcing donations to businessmen all over the world, his own family's property must also lead by example, which is to lift stones and shoot himself in the foot.
"You kid don't have to be sad, I allow you to call the Imperial Forest Army and the soldiers and horses of the Shenji Battalion in extraordinary times, you can take this order, just let it go!"
Seeing him so timid, He Yu scolded with a smile, stretched out his hand from the dragon book case, took out a gold medal with the word order written on it, and beckoned to him.
"Thank you, Holy Lord, for your appreciation, that, old man, I don't know where the ninth princess is? I want to see her......"
After bowing down and receiving the royal gold medal, Liu Huayun finally proposed the ultimate purpose of coming here.
"Boy, you are messing with flowers and grass everywhere, and my princess is also you, can you see it if you want to?"
He Yu, who was still smiling just now, suddenly sank his face when Liu Huayun mentioned his beloved daughter Yunling.
I'm going to the emperor, old man, are you testing me? Or is it for them to have prejudices;
But whatever, if you want Lao Tzu to give up anyone, you can't do it, it's a big deal to go into exile, and I won't give up Wan'er and Tingting.
"Old man, don't scare me, my feelings for Lingxin can be learned, I am willing to do anything for her......"
At the same time as slandering in his heart, in the face of the Yellow Emperor He Yu, who suddenly changed his face, Liu Huayun was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Hmph~~, flamboy, if you want to marry my princess, you must draw a line with your confidantes in Hangzhou and Jinling;
And on the day of recruiting sons-in-law, it is only possible to defeat the envoys of the four countries in public, as well as the young heroes of Dafeng, okay, get the official uniforms and official seals and go out of the palace! ”
He Yu was not moved at all, he snorted coldly, and waved his hand to let Liu Huayun leave.
"That, old man, you don't let me see Princess Yunling, I can endure it for a few days as a minister, it's just that I'm also an acting waiter between the second and third grades, I don't know if there is a reward from the mansion?"
Emperor He Yu obviously wanted Liu Huayun to leave the palace and return to the Yang family, but he was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, and for a period of time in the future, I am afraid that he will have to take the lead and charge into battle for this old man, and he will not ask for some benefits.
"You kid is so shameless that you dare to bargain with me, or I wanted to wait for you to make achievements before giving you a luxurious mansion, but now I can only give you that squire mansion......"
A hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, and He Yu's words suddenly made Liu Huayun feel depressed for a while, but the old man in front of him, Chrysostom, had no choice but to withdraw from the imperial study after thanking him.
"Brother Liu, Father, he didn't embarrass you!"
Outside the corridor of the imperial study, He Jin, who had already prepared a purple official uniform, a black official hat, and a slap official seal, greeted him with a smile.
"No, the old man admires me very much, and he has also rewarded me with a mansion...... Brother He Jin, let's talk later!"
While laughing, Liu Huayun looked up and saw two young women outside the temple in the distance, so he left He Jin in surprise and ran there quickly.
