Chapter 21: Disaster Relief Strategies

In the past two days, Fei Ranchu has already established a good relationship with the little palace maid who sweeps the floor in the palace, and any strange gossip can be heard for the first time.

In the past, I heard that the little palace maid in the palace got along with which guard, or which palace little eunuch stole the master's things and was discovered.

However, today's gossip is not ordinary, it is about the imperial court.

"It is said that there are 100,000 taels of disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court, and when it comes to Bianyang, there are only 40,000 taels left!" The little palace maid who cut the flower branches said the freshest gossip today.

"Really?" Another maid chimed in.

"Seriously! It is said that His Majesty is furious about this! He also said that he would strictly investigate. ”

Fei Ranchu sat on the side and didn't speak, just swallowed melon seeds and listened to the topic they discussed.

After they were all gone, Fei Ran Chu turned her head and asked Dark Moon, "Really?" ”

"My subordinates don't know." Darkmoon said with her head bowed.

"Don't ask Dark Moon about these nonsense, she has always been unconcerned." Xicui handed Fei Ranchu a handful of melon seeds and said.

Fira thought about things at the beginning and thought about it.

"You say, if my Majesty talks about it, will Your Majesty be angry?"

"The harem can't interfere in politics, although we all know about this matter, but it's best not to mention it in front of Your Majesty." Xicui thought for a moment and said.

Fei Ranchu didn't speak, just looked thoughtful.

At dinner, Zhao Yufeng came early for the first time.

There seemed to be a residual anger between his eyebrows, but more of it was exhaustion that could not be hidden.

After finishing the meal, Zhao Yufeng lay on Fei Ranchu's chaise longue in a daze, while Fei Ranchu sat on the side and 'clicked' and swallowed melon seeds.

"I heard...... The imperial court's disaster relief money was embezzled? Fei Ranchu said suddenly.

Xicui secretly said bad at that time.

Why did the mother really bring up this matter?

Sure enough, Zhao Yufeng immediately opened his eyes, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes, staring at Fei Ranchu coldly.

Looking at Fei Ranchu again, he was eating melon seeds cross-legged, looking very curious, not like he was deliberately inquiring about this matter, but like he was simply curious.

Zhao Yufeng closed his eyes again, "The harem can't interfere in politics." ”

"Concubines don't want to interfere in politics!" Fei Ranchu immediately raised his hands to show his innocence, "The concubine just wants to share your majesty's worries." ”

Her words made Zhao Yufeng laugh rarely, he opened his eyes, turned sideways to look at Fei Ranchu, imprinted every little expression of her in his eyes, and then asked, "What can you do as a woman about this kind of thing?" ”

"If the concubine says it, Your Majesty is not allowed to say that the concubine is involved in politics, the concubine is just chatting with the emperor about interesting things!" Fei Ranchu also left a careful eye to prevent Zhao Yufeng from turning back and making trouble for himself.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

With his approval, Firaku immediately became excited.

"I heard that more than half of the disaster relief funds have been embezzled, Your Majesty, you must be in a hurry to find out who embezzled it now, right?"

Zhao Yufeng was intrigued by her words, then sat up and looked at Fei Ranchu with interest, as if he wanted to know what he would say next.

"You must be caught, at the same time, you can choose to allocate a loan, choose a trusted person to supervise the whole process, wouldn't it be good?"

Fei Ran's first speech made Zhao Yufeng smile.

Sure enough, as an outsider, he thinks like this, so it's no wonder why the ministers of the court today are forcing themselves to allocate funds again.

"Do you know what's going on?"

"It is precisely because you don't know that the concubine's speech seems ridiculous to you, why don't you tell Your Majesty about your confusion, and the concubine will share your worries for you?"

At this moment, Zhao Yufeng suddenly reflected, and then looked at Fei Ranchu and smiled.

Was that what she was for? It's really clever to be clever.

"If it's normal, even if it's another 200,000 taels to go out, what's the matter? But now that Western Xia is about to move, I'm afraid that there will be a war soon, if the court doesn't have enough money to fight at that time, what do you say I should do? ”

It turned out that this was really the case, just as Fira had imagined at the beginning.

Looking at Fei Ranchu's face, there was not too much surprise, but Zhao Yufeng was due.

Now he wanted to know more and more about what kind of medicine was sold in this woman's gourd.

"Since the imperial court can't come up with more money for disaster relief for insurance, then go elsewhere and get it?"

"Where? The people's taxes, or the net worth of the officials in the DPRK and China? Zhao Yufeng sneered.

If this is the case, why should the court have any worries? They all only think about how comfortable they can live, and they never consider the difficulties of the court.

The stronger a country is, the more money it needs to operate, and he must be cautious.

"The old guys in the court are not willing to give money, so naturally some people are willing to give it!"

Fei Ranchu blinked mischievously, Zhao Yufeng was slightly stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"Who?"

"Your Majesty, think about it, who in this imperial city will saddle up the horse for your words?" What Fei Ranchu had already hinted at couldn't be more obvious, if Zhao Yufeng didn't understand, she would treat herself as if she hadn't said anything.

Fortunately, Zhao Yufeng understood.

However, he seemed to be a little disdainful, which was also expected by Fira Chu.

"The lord of a country, you actually let me beat the idea of the concubines?" Zhao Yufeng almost wanted to laugh.

Fei Ranchu didn't feel weak at all because of his question, but said as he should be: "Anyway, they can't throw away one set of jewelry, gold and silver jewelry, so why not use it to do something meaningful?" They are definitely willing to break the bank for you, as long as they are spontaneous, no one will think of you. ”

"But I am the king of a country, you let me ......" Zhao Yufeng was obviously shaken, but there were still many struggles in his eyes, as if he was hesitating about something.

"Don't mention to me the king of a country, if you don't have enough reserves, whose majesty will you be when the country dies in the future?" Fei Ranchu interrupted him directly.

The people in the palace were all frightened into a cold sweat because of Fei Ranchu's words, and they all knelt down in an instant.

In front of His Majesty, he dared to mention the topic of the death of the country, and Fei Ranchu was not afraid of death.

In fact, Fei Ran's heart was also nervous, for fear that Zhao Yufeng would not listen to her words, but would be annoyed and angry, on the other hand, she hoped that Zhao Yufeng was an enlightened monarch.

Really, there is such a thing as face, sometimes you can really do without.

Besides, if this matter is brought up by the concubines themselves, there is nothing to do with him at all!

Now it depends on what Zhao Yufeng will think of this matter.

Fei Ranchu no longer spoke, but looked at Zhao Yufeng in silence.

Suddenly, Zhao Yufeng looked at Fei Ranchu.

"What do you think should be done about this?"
