Chapter 165: A rake
After a while, Tobe Shangshu stood up and said that although the plague had subsided, the treasury was now empty due to the fact that the plague had been flooded for a long time and had consumed a lot of manpower and money.
When it came to this topic, the chatter in the court disappeared in an instant.
After a while, someone casually spoke, "It's not simple, it's good to add one more tax to this year." ”
The person who can say such hateful words lightly, except for Prince Ji Xia Shu, there is no one else.
He said it like he said it casually, and I don't know if he was joking.
Meng Feng's brows furrowed subconsciously.
Reaching out to the people is the next step.
Whether Prince Ji said this intentionally or unintentionally, he had to stand up.
But before he could come out of the ranks, the man on the high seat vetoed it.
Seeing His Majesty's statement, Hubu Shangshu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there was a sudden earthquake in the area of Gannan and Xiangyang not long ago, coupled with the previous drought, the people had no harvest and were displaced, and now they must not be allowed to make their situation worse." ”
The ministers nodded in agreement.
Meng Feng was relieved.
Facing the condemning glances from the people around him from time to time, Xia Shu was unmoved, paused, and said in a good time: "But Lord Shangshu also said that now that the treasury is empty, and the local people have encountered natural disasters again, they must ask the imperial court for disaster relief, and the treasury can't allocate money, what should I do?" ”
After saying that, he went back to the question, and Fang Cai's voice disappeared again, and fell silent again.
Meng Feng also fell into deep thought.
After a while, someone suddenly spoke up, "The minister has an idea. ”
Everyone looked at Su Zuoxiang in front of him, and they felt strange.
As everyone knows, although Nanser has left and right ministers, the left phase has always been in name only, empty and good-sounding names, but has no real power in his hands.
This Soviet left-hand minister has always had an attitude of not caring about himself, and he will only speak when he is named.
When no one spoke at the moment, they suddenly heard him speak, and everyone suddenly thought it was their own delusion.
Although he has no real power, he still has a lot of treatment.
Emperor Nanfeng's eyes flashed, revealing a look of surprise, and he said expectantly: "Oh? Su Aiqing, please speak. ”
Su Zuoxiang smiled incomprehensibly, and said leisurely: "The minister thinks that he can order Master Jiang to donate half of his family property and fill it into the treasury." ”
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Needless to say, he knows who "Master Jiang" he refers to.
This natural tone sounded more relaxed and natural than Prince Fang Caiji's statement of increasing taxes.
It's ridiculous!
They looked at Su Zuoxiang with the eyes of a madman.
Who would want to donate their property to confiscate it?
Emperor Nanfeng was silent, his gaze wandered over everyone's faces, and he didn't put his beak, but fixed on Meng Feng, who had a solemn expression, and said, "What does Meng Aiqing think, what does Su Aiqing propose?" ”
Meng Feng came out of the queue and arched his hand: "The minister thinks it's inappropriate." ”
As soon as his words fell, he heard Su Zuoxiang snort, "Master Jiang is rich and rivals the country, as a citizen of Nanser, he should lend a helping hand when the country is in danger, but the right minister has just said this, how can he make it on Ling Qianjin, and he won't let it be changed to the Jiang family?" ”
This mean and tricky face really opened Meng Feng's eyes, and he also burst into flames, his eyes were like torches, "My daughter cherishes risks for the country and the people, and dedicates her medical skills, all for the sake of self-reliance." If you are responsible for donating your property, why not donate your family property first? ”
Although Meng Feng was in a high position, he had always been low-key and modest, and when he heard sharp words from his mouth, everyone else was a little surprised.
His loud ridicule made many people who agreed with Su Zuoxiang bow their heads in shame after listening to Su Zuoxiang's words.
But Su Zuoxiang was just stunned, not ashamed of himself as everyone expected, but as if he had confirmed something, he looked at Meng Feng with bad intentions, "The minister is just saying his proposal, what is the right minister doing in such a hurry?" ”
He paused meaningfully, "Could it be that the result is really as the outside world says, and the right minister has a very good personal relationship with Master Jiang?" That's no wonder. ”
Meng Feng was very disdainful of Su Zuoxiang's behavior of beating him upside down.
This person is not right, he already knows it in his heart.
But as long as he can put half of his efforts with people on the people, Meng Feng will not look down on him.
It's not been a day or two since the left and right were at odds, and seeing that the invisible gunsmoke between the two was getting thicker and thicker, everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to interject or not.
——
Until the morning dynasty dispersed, this matter was not discussed to a result.
Emperor Nanfeng waved his hand and said that he was tired, and got up to leave regardless of the others' retention.
Meng Feng knew in his heart that Su Zuoxiang dared to say such shameless words, and eighty percent of them were supported by someone behind him.
And judging from the attitude of Emperor Nanfeng, it is self-evident who this person is.
It was precisely after thinking about this that Meng Feng was even more worried.
……
On the other side, not long after Jiang Shangshi and Meng Feng got up and left, under the enthusiastic eyes of their grandmother and the Li family, Jiang Qiushui and Qi Jin found an excuse to slip away.
She wanted to know what Daddy and Uncle Meng were talking about, and subconsciously walked in the direction of the study.
The people around her grabbed her, "Where are you going?" ”
Jiang Qiushui waved his hand without looking back, but he didn't shake it off, so he could only hold his hand instead, "Study." ”
Qi Jin stood still and said with a smile: "I want to know the right phase and ...... What is the father-in-law talking about? ”
One sentence successfully made Jiang Qiushui stop.
She turned her head, smiled and raised her hand to rub a handful of oil on his face, like a hooligan, "Before you get married, you call your father-in-law?" ”
"It turns out that Brother Shunhua can't wait to be our Jiang family's son-in-law?"
Ever since she knew why he resisted being called by others, she had been particularly fond of calling him that.
Maybe it was her previous words that played a role, every time she heard her call him like this with the corners of her mouth curled, Qi Jin not only felt disgusted, but felt a little strange in her heart, especially thinking about it......
Kiss her.
As soon as Qi Jin grabbed her with her long hand, he took her into his arms, lowered his eyes, and was about to be pressed down.
After getting along for so long, what does his eyes like this represent, Jiang Qiushui couldn't be clearer.
Catching a sharp glimpse of the heads hiding behind the rockery, Jiang Yushui's heart jumped, and he hurriedly dodged back and pushed him away.
Qi Jin's eyes flashed, and she noticed her gaze, and she didn't have to look back to know who was hiding.
He sighed helplessly.
The beauty is in her arms, but she can't kiss it.
In fact, after thinking about it later, Qi Jin found that he didn't dislike the words that others called him, he just didn't dislike it and only wanted Jiang Yushui to call him that.
He met Hexi on the day he returned home from the palace to receive the holy decree, and after he made it clear to him, she still didn't give up and ran to the house to find him.
In the name of visiting, because of her identity, Qi Jin is not good at turning people away.
