Chapter 35: On the Matter of the Charity Sale

"Ridiculous!" One of the ministers came out to retort, "Even when the emperor was alive, there was no such thing as 'cannibalism' in that devastating famine!" ”

"The minister proposed, if it really doesn't work, then ask the local officials in Nanjing, which is adjacent to Xiling, to open a granary and escort it to Xiling." Minister C is listed.

"This is not appropriate, the granaries are used for emergencies, and the land in Nanjing is not fertile, and the annual supply of grain from it is only good." Minister A spoke.

The Chongqing family all nodded, this is really a difficult problem, at the right time, the privy envoy came out and replied: "Your Highness, why don't you open the granary of the treasury and send it to Yixiling to leave Beijing for ten miles, about four days." ”

Ji Qing put his hand on the handle, and said gracefully: "Lord Privy Envoy, it's really unfortunate, now the treasury is 'empty', and it can't take out much silver taels when it is used to build a military industry, not to mention the grain and grass, which must be escorted to the border gate regularly every month, and there is really no food and grass." If it's really free, there will be people at the border to play the main palace. ”

The implication is that it is impossible for the treasury to make up for it. The Great Song Dynasty raised these ministers, not standing here and talking without backache, if there is something to do in the treasury, occasionally the ministers have to share more.

After all, it is a minister of a country.

As soon as they heard this, most of the ministers shrank their necks, and no one was willing to contribute such a thing as money.

"Your Royal Highness, the minister's private treasury has 50,000 silver taels and is willing to confiscate it and contribute to the court and Xiling." Zhao Tingzhi was the first to come out and say.

Ji Qing's head, Zhao Tingzhi's appearance was expected by her.

Behind the curtain, she quietly studied the expressions of the ministers, and looked panicked and some nervous...... I memorized the names of those ministers one by one and began to calculate.

The head of the hundred officials, the prime minister, is set an example, and the royalists are naturally not lagging behind.

Guogong also came out to say that after all, now that he has a bad reputation in the court because of that evil son, he really hopes that Xing'er can return home early and help him.

It's just that he didn't notice that some of the ministers behind him were a little depressed.

Ji Qing saw all this in his eyes, and only after a while did he say quietly: "The heart of the Qing family, the palace is in the bottom of the eyes, and the palace has a proposal for this matter." I believe that the National Teacher also knows this in his heart? ”

His eyes swept to a smiling and sleepy "old man" at the corner of his mouth.

All the ministers looked at Candle Yin, and Candle Yin only half-lowered his eyes, "Why does Your Highness bother to bend around, just two words - charity sale." ”

Sale? Isn't that Emperor Taizu's method of borrowing from a folk strategist back then?

I heard that the goods were sold, and the highest price was obtained, and then the silver received was contributed to the disaster area.

"It is a charity sale, and Grandpa Tai once used this method to fill the empty treasury. It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I will do a little fun, one can relieve boredom, and the other can fill the treasury and provide disaster relief, killing two birds with one stone, and it is also pleasant.

When I go back to Zhongqing's house, I will bring some valuable things and hold it in the imperial garden the day after tomorrow. ”

The ministers had nothing to say, and His Royal Highness had made it clear about the matter, and there was no room for refutation.

A deafening voice sounded in the Jinluan Palace: "Your Highness is wise. ”

"Where's the court?"

"The minister is here."

"When the bazaar is held, in addition to the ministers, naturally some wealthy businessmen will also be found to participate, and this matter will be left to you."

"Yes, the minister will live up to His Highness's trust and complete it wholeheartedly." Zhao Tingyi bowed.

"Very good, retreat!"

"Long live Your Majesty, Chitose Princess."

Ji Qing led Liu Zhan to retreat from the dynasty as before.

After getting off the court, Ji Qing let go of Liu Zhan's hand and said nothing.

"Sister!" The little emperor panicked, and immediately grabbed Ji Qing's sleeve, "Sister, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said those words, it's me...... I don't work hard enough, I won't be like this in the future, I will definitely study hard, strive for better, and I won't be lazy anymore, sister, don't ignore me..... I'm just you and the queen mother......"

As the little emperor spoke, tears began to flow.

Ji Qing sighed lightly, "How is the back of "The Teacher's Table"? Ji Qing rubbed his brother's little head, how pure those eyes were, as if all the filth in the world could not infect him.

Liu Zhan was slightly stunned, then nodded heavily, his voice was a little excited, "I have already carried the rolling melon, please check the imperial sister." As he spoke, he seemed to have been prepared, touching and searching on his dragon robe, and took out a copy of "Teacher Table".

Ji Qing smiled and bowed his head, "I hope Your Majesty will always have such a self-motivated heart." ”

"Definitely, definitely. I decided to be a good emperor in the future, just like my sister! Liu Zhan patted his chest confidently.

Ji Qing was silent, I hope so......

This afternoon, the carriage stopped outside the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and inside the Guogong Mansion, Chen ordered the whole palace to hold a funeral for his hard-working son.

Compared with the inside of the carriage, a warm color, the man in the car is like tea, the jade man is elegant, the ink color of the eyes is getting darker and deeper, and he is holding a beautiful lady in his arms, his clothes are half open, and his face is red.

"Childe, we're here, be more restrained." Nian Yao pressed her index finger against Su Xingzhi's forehead.

"Tut-tut, this son received the news that Su Cheng was executed by Su Huan on the spot, and now the one in the house is sad, look, you can see the bad luck inside from the outside, this son and you are doing this here This is to catch up with bad luck, there is no need to converge." Su Xingzhi cheekily continued to rub Bai Nianyao.

"Childe, this is trying to anger the Duchess inside, you let Nian Yao wear such a red and purple, but you are wearing cyan, do you want Nian Yao to be a target?" Nian Yao said softly.

Su Xingzhi smiled, "You are the person you love the most, how can it hurt you?" The key point is also to harm me first. ”

"Really?" Nian Yao's tail voice was raised, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Heh, that's nature, you don't know, right? The Chen family has a tradition that people are not allowed to wear green shirts when there is a mourning in the home, do you want to know why? Su Xingzhi's pleasant face was pleasant, and he had the intention of being kind and seductive.

"Why?" Wearing a green shirt has always expressed indifference to fame and fortune, and high status.

"You don't know, do you? The Chen family is not allowed to wear green shirts because blue has the meaning of cursing people, and wearing green shirts in front of the mourners implies that the dead will never be reborn.

Of course, none of the outsiders know about this allusion, only the descendants of the Chen family know best. Su Xingzhi was still smiling, but there was a gloomy smile in his smile.

Nian Yao trembled slightly, Su Xingzhi was really terrifying, secretly harming people but not hurting himself at all. Nian Yao silently sympathized with the Duchess in her heart.

"Nian Yao, don't be afraid, no matter how much you treat others, you will never do this to you." Su Xingzhi seemed to feel that the person in his arms was a little stiff, and gently soothed it with his hand.

"Really?" A hint of sarcasm flashed in Bai Nianyao's eyes.
