The first thing Xiao Chen did when he returned to the palace was to find his three daughters-in-law, and some of the things after that were naturally self-evident. The ministers said that the blood of the royal family withered, which was not good for the community.

Well, Xiao Chen is really not happy to listen to such a statement. But I couldn't control the mouths of the ministers, so I had to continue to work hard.

It seems that if you don't give birth to a dozen sons, the big guy is not happy.

Sitting at the head of the bed, Xiao Chen looked at the three girls beside him affectionately. But there is a period of misery in my heart, and it is difficult to serve. I haven't seen these three women for half a year, and one by one they have become more powerful. Especially Concubine Xiang, she directly threw her son aside to enjoy Xiao Chen's love.

Xiao Chen saw this scene in his eyes, but it hurt in his heart. Although it was the son in the game, it was also the son who was not. This Hunan girl is really too ruthless......

Also, the king of your family has just come back from the battlefield, so he bullied me like this and let the master fight in the bed field. Fortunately, I exercised in the barracks for a while, otherwise I would have walked with dangling legs today.

After talking a little affectionately to the three beautiful wives, Xiao Chen directly put on his clothes and ran to the study. We are Mingjun, then we must have the appearance of Mingjun, and we still have to work when we should work.

The bosses are all starting to work, and the gang of guys below naturally can't rest. Xiao Chen directly asked people to call Xun Yu and the rest of the ministers. By the way, he also called his father-in-law Wu Feng over, and some things still have to be discussed.

A group of bigwigs walked into the study, and Xiao Chen said directly to Xun Yu: "Prime Minister Xun, now tell me what the situation is in the country." ”

Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, the king, the damage to us in this war is really too great. ”

When Xiao Chen heard this, his brows furrowed.

I saw Xun Yu then said: "Because of the war, almost all the domestic commercial development has come to a standstill, a large number of goods have piled up, and there is nowhere to sell. A large amount of grain was piled up by the common people at will because of its cheap price, and it was about to rot. ”

"How can this be, isn't there a constant shortage of food in our country?" Xiao Chen asked suspiciously.

"What kind of food is missing, since a large number of slaves have cultivated the fields, the people of Beichen Kingdom have not had food. The reason why there is a shortage of grain is because the merchants sell too much food, so there is a bit of a shortage. But now there is no way to sell food, so the price of food is getting cheaper and cheaper. ”

"The price of grain is cheaper, and many merchants buy grain on a large scale. In the beginning, there were many people who bought it at a reasonable price, but the war continued, and the large amount of grain in their hands could not be sold. As a result, some merchants did not accept it. Only a few guys continued to collect at ultra-low prices, and in the end, the common people were reluctant to buy the grain they had worked so hard to grow at a price of 20 copper and 1 stone. ”

"In addition, because food prices are too low, the prices of the rest of the commodities are affected. By now, there has been a great crisis, the peasants have been unable to sell their food that is about to become a mountain, and many of the workshops have gone bankrupt because of the low prices of goods. ”

Xun Yu said a lot in one breath, and was relieved after speaking. Then, with another sigh.

Xiao Chen was also shocked, but he didn't expect that the Beichen Army had only fought a war for half a year. As a result, a mini-economic crisis broke out in the country, which fortunately was not the era of capitalism. Otherwise, a bare look would be enough to knock Beichen Kingdom into the abyss.

"Didn't you implement some measures?"

Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Why not, originally our user department's money was used to buy grain at a parity, hoping to suppress food prices and restore economic order." ”

Yes, as soon as Xun Yu's words came out, Xiao Chen patted his brain.

Sure enough, Xun Yu's next words should correct Xiao Chen's guess.

As a result, a large amount of money has flowed out of the household, but it has not been able to curb food prices. The rest of the industries are also becoming more and more intense, and the number of people without jobs is increasing. In the end, we discussed it and recruited a large number of idle people to continue building the Tenryu Fortress. But it's a drop in the bucket! ”

After speaking, Xun Yu popped out another sentence: "King, the day before yesterday, because the imperial court had no money to pay the farmers' salaries, we took a little of your money!" ”

"What?" Xiao Chen jumped up directly and shouted loudly: "My day, that's my private money." I put it in the household department so that I wouldn't be discovered by my daughter-in-law, and you actually took it for me! ”

"That king, just borrowed a little!" Xun Yu said weakly.

"Say, take tens of thousands of taels of gold!"

"It's not much, it's just 20,000 taels!"

"What! It's not much, but I worked hard to save 50,000 taels! ”

"King, everything is for Beichen Kingdom!"

Xiao Chen was about to scold, but Wu Feng next to him suddenly said, "Should I say something to Minmin?"

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then sat down calmly and said, "Ahem, Xun Yu." You can use the public money even if you use it, why do you have to say that it is my private money, this time it was misunderstood by Lord Taiwei! ”

Xun Yu also rolled his eyes and said: "Yes, Weichen remembered wrongly, the 50,000 taels of gold, the king had already donated it to the household!" ”

Xiao Chen's eyes widened, and he said to Xun Yu with his eyes: You are ruthless enough, if you dare to move the remaining 30,000 taels, Lao Tzu will chop you into dumpling filling.

Xun Yu saw his boss glaring at him, and immediately looked at his nose and nose, as if he didn't hear it.

In fact, Xun Yu thinks so, since you have admitted that it is the money of the imperial court, it will not be a big deal for me to spend some more!

In this way, the first round of confrontation between monarchs and ministers officially ended. It ended with Xiao Chen's complete defeat and a loss of 50,000 taels of gold. Prime Minister Xun Cheng naturally laughed in his heart.

After talking about some small things, it is the turn of the big things, after all, the domestic economic crisis has not been resolved.

"Xun Yu, since you have already thought of recruiting people to build the Heavenly Dragon Fortress, why don't you think of other tricks?" Xiao Chen looked at Xun Yu depressedly and said.

Xun Yu said with a spring on his face: "King Qiyu, Weichen has thought about it, but I really can't think of where I still need the people." The infrastructure in the country is almost complete, and there is no need for a large number of people to build it. Besides, the court ran out of money at that time......"

"Stupid, stupid!" Xiao Chen scolded Xun Yu without giving any face, and then continued: "Let me ask you, are the water conservancy facilities in the fields built? Doesn't the northern coastal line need to be repaired? Can't the walls of the land be raised at higher points? All this needs to be thought about, and it will be too late to do it when it is discovered. ”

Xiao Chen's words, Xun Yu's body is incomplete. At the end of the second round of the confrontation between monarchs and ministers, Xiao Chen won the victory and taught Xun Yu a big verbal lesson.

"Well, there are some things you have to think about. In addition, in this battle, our army captured tens of thousands of taels of gold, as well as hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and billions of copper coins. You should know how to do it! ”

"Naturally, Wechen has already figured out how to solve domestic problems!" As soon as Xiao Chen's words fell, Xun Yu said directly.

This sentence surprised Xiao Chen, this product is not as smart as tender!

Subsequently, Xiao Chen was completely stunned.

"My lord, I plan to use the seized money to recruit people. Then let them go to Zhongjun, Yunjun, Lu and Pinglian to build roads and repair the city walls. And they can also be told that as long as they go to work, the court will not only make up for all the land they lost when they moved, but also have a certain amount of compensation. Of course, this number must be limited, and it will be counted as 300,000 households at the beginning. It's not enough to find some more slaves, by the way, there are pawns who are captured this time, right?"

"Of course, they've been gathered and they're starting to build roads." Xiao Chen said silently, this guy is too demonic, and his brain is turning too fast.

"As long as the state of the people who have nothing to do is solved, presumably the country will recover soon!" Xun Yu grinned and stroked his mustache.

Of course, Xiao Chen understood what Xun Yu meant, but in fact, the economic crisis was like that. As long as the idle people get to work, the rest is not a problem.

The most difficult economic crisis has been lifted, and then Xiao Chen chatted with Xun Yu and a group of Ziwenchen Yashi about some trivial matters. Until the end, these guys with mouths full of classical Chinese were ruthlessly driven away by Xiao Chen, leaving only Taiwei Wu Feng.

As soon as the outsiders left, the father-in-law, his own family, began to be unkind.

"What's the matter, you still keep your private money, what do you want to do? Tell you, if you dare to use that private money to find a concubine, I Wu Feng can't spare you. By the way, your mother-in-law can't spare you! ”

Before Xiao Chen could react, he was scorched by Wu Feng and gave Lei a big talk. Nima, what's the matter, I'm just saving some private money, do you have such a big reaction? However, Wu Feng said that he couldn't spare himself, and it was estimated that he really didn't have a good life!

You must know that this guy is a veteran of the Second Dynasty, and his prestige is still very high. The most important thing is that his mother-in-law is too cruel to provoke herself.

However, is it really that the master has no temper with you?

"Go ahead, old man Wu, I really didn't know that you buried a thousand taels of gold under the peach tree in your backyard. And I also know that the gold is buried about two meters three in the ground! After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he set up Erlang's legs and looked at Old Man Wu gracefully.

Wu Feng's face suddenly changed, and he said: "King, there are still some things in Weichen's family, so I will retire first!" ”

"Don't plan to go back and change places, it's useless!"

Xiao Chen said casually, and immediately sent Wu Feng into the abyss. However, Wu Feng is worthy of being a guy who has been mixed up in the officialdom, and he saw Wu Feng's expression change, and said: "Wechen see the king, I don't know what the king wants to find Weichen?"

Xiao Chen looked at the old guy who was bent down, and the corners of his mouth twitched helplessly
