Since Zhongli has become the secretary of the household department, she naturally will not stop doing her business, the first thing she did when she arrived at the household department was to see how much money the household department had, but she didn't expect it, and when she looked at it, her eyes suddenly widened.

Poor, really poor!

The huge household of Yuanwu didn't even have 10,000 taels of silver, no wonder the emperor was anxious, and even desperately let himself in to manage this mess, because now it is obvious that she has a lot of money!

If you have the ability to change the situation of the Yuanwu Household Department, it's okay, if you don't have the ability, exile yourself and raid the house, which is a lot of money.

Zhongli could imagine how miserable his future situation would be, but fortunately, it was only one aspect of the story.

It's just that Zhongli didn't expect that before he stayed here for a while, a personal eunuch from the emperor's side came to him, saying that the emperor wanted her to enter the palace to meet him.

Zhongli was a little puzzled, it seemed that he had just come out of the palace not long ago, but the emperor summoned him, he had to go!

Therefore, she hurriedly followed the people back to the palace, but she didn't expect that the emperor was actually eating.

She looked at the food with some dumbfounded, the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely a few times, and she already knew the emperor's intentions without the emperor opening his mouth.

Therefore, without saying a word, she knelt down directly towards the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty!"

The emperor was also taken aback, he hadn't said this yet, what did Zhongli mean by this, did he want to speak to gag his mouth?

Zhongli looked at the emperor with a sad face, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the food in front of the emperor.

"Wechen didn't expect that the emperor could eat such a meal, but Wechen is really not worthy of being your courtier, Wechen is guilty!"

As soon as Zhongli said this, the emperor smiled.

He has been the emperor for so many days, and he has seen a lot of people who have slapped his beard and horses, and he has also seen a lot of people who welcome him in every way, but Zhong Li, who is on the pole for his sake, has not yet been there.

"Oh? You mean, my food is not good? ”

Since the people were obedient and handed him a ladder, of course he had to follow along.

Zhongli nodded slightly.

"Yes, your food is so bad, it's not even half as good as in Weichen's house, so it's useless for Weichen, Weichen will definitely earn more silver taels for His Majesty in the future, so that Your Majesty will not live such a life."

As he spoke, Zhongli stretched out his hand and gently wiped the corners of his eyes, as if there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

The emperor couldn't help but laugh, smiled and reached out to pat Zhongli's arm, smiling.

"Good, good, good, good!"

This is his good courtier, not like other people, he just used a little money from them, and cried his father and called his mother, as if he was a bandit and robber, and killed his whole family, as for it?

"If all the ministers are like Aiqing, my world will be worry-free!"

Zhongli chuckled inwardly, if all his ministers were like her, it would be a really bad thing.

But he was still serious on his face.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it will be."

Zhongli left the house unharmed, but when she arrived home, she found that Wang Qinglin was waiting for her expressionlessly in the house, she frowned, feeling that something was about to happen, so she hurriedly changed her clothes and came over.

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

Zhongli had just come home, and he hadn't had time to change his clothes yet, how did he know?

Wang Qinglin looked at Zhongli, his eyes were solemn, he licked his somewhat dry lips and petals, and looked at Zhongli.

"Like, our affairs are going to end early."

Zhongli didn't know what he meant, and looked at Wang Qinglin in surprise, and Wang Qinglin only then told what he had learned today.

"In the western part of Yuanwu, there has been no rain since the beginning of summer this year, and the people there used well water for irrigation when they first started plowing the land, but now the well water is dry and the rivers are drying up, and more and more people are dying of thirst because of the drought."

Zhongli felt a little incredulous.

"How is that possible? How could they not report such a big thing? ”

But then after thinking about it, she knew that Emperor Yuanwu had just ascended the throne as emperor, and if there was a drought in some places at this time, it was estimated that things would be even more difficult.

As I said before, now pay attention to the divine authority of the emperor, and the emperor usurps the throne and seizes power, if there is a drought, doesn't that mean that his name is not right? At this time, basically whoever reports and who dies.

Because the emperor will definitely not tell everyone that he killed his father and usurped the throne, he is rebellious, so God will curse him, and he must say that the officials in the following place have committed some crimes, so he was punished by God.

So at this time, you must conceal it and not report it, if you report it, how can your family live?

Zhongli couldn't help but smile, clenched his right hand and smashed his palm hard.

"It's better now, even God is helping us, and it won't work if it doesn't work. If you do this now, isn't there a shortage of water over there? Get people here! I'm just in time to do my duty. ”

Who is she now, she is the head of the household! Of course, we have to do something that Tobe Shangshu should do.

Before Wang Qinglin could react, he saw that Zhongli had already walked out, he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, so he could only go out and resign himself to doing what Zhongli had explained.

And Zhongli directly found Wan Qianming.

"You know what? It's a wonderful opportunity, and I think it's worth researching how you can take advantage of it. You know what the war of public opinion is all about, right? You know that people are terrible, right? Moreover, it is said that there is a drought in the western region, but it seems to me that this drought is likely to spread slowly for some time to come, don't you think that it has not rained much here since the beginning of summer? ”

Wan Jinming's eyes widened directly, and his breathing was a little heavy.

"You say, there really shouldn't be a damnation, right?"

Zhongli was amused by the other party's inexplicable words, and she shook her head.

"Say what? Man will conquer the heavens, you know? Also, I don't care what you're doing in private, and it's best that I don't find out that you have any ideas about me, or I won't give up. ”

Zhongli was still smiling at first, but his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Wan Qiming and suddenly spoke.

Wan Qiming was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head towards Zhongli.

"Why, you're laughing!"

Zhongli looked at him meaningfully.

"Am I really joking?"

She slowly approached Wan Qiming and smiled slowly.

"You just need to know that paper can't hold fire, and besides, I'm not as stupid as you think."

After speaking, he took two steps back, as if nothing had happened, muttered twice that he was hungry, and then touched his stomach and left.

Behind him, Wan Qiming gritted his teeth and stood behind, his expression extremely stiff.

The next day, after the next court, Zhongli asked to see the emperor.

The relationship between the emperor and Zhongli now is the honeymoon period, so naturally he will not disappear, but after listening to Zhongli's report, he can't help but change his complexion.

"Zhong Aiqing, are you serious about what you said?"

Zhongli immediately straightened his expression and knelt down towards the emperor.

"Back to the emperor's words, it is true. This is the news that Weichen's minions came back when they went to the west to open up trade routes before, but the others have not come back yet, and the specific situation is not clear to Weichen. ”

Does Zhongli dare to say that he has already made this matter clear? But even if it's clear, I don't dare to say it! What if it arouses the emperor's jealousy?

"Moreover, the emperor, you have just ascended the throne, in the opinion of Weichen, it is better to solve this matter as soon as possible, if after the matter is big, someone uses various channels to ruin your reputation, what should I do?"

The Emperor glanced deeply at Zhongli and nodded heavily.

"What if Aiqing is asked to handle this matter?"

Zhongli was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly panicked, and he kowtowed to the emperor again.

"Weichen really wants to solve your problems for the emperor, but now is not the best time! Wechen also wants to work more in the household department to relieve your current troubles. ”

When the emperor thought about it, he seemed to be right.

Didn't he just want to fill his treasury a little bit when he asked Zhongli to enter the court? He was reminded by Zhongli at this time, but he smiled faintly.

"Good! Tell me, what are your thoughts on filling the treasury lately? ”

This is Zhongli's old business!

He smiled and spoke eloquently to the Emperor.

He didn't say anything else, but re-told the emperor about the pyramid scheme he had done to those people before.

As an emperor, he may know how to make good use of people, and he may be good in other aspects, but he may not necessarily know how to do business, especially when Zhongli says this, he also uses a lot of technical terms.

After hearing this, the emperor's eyes lit up, and he only felt that he had found the right person, and he directly left the conditions for Zhong.

"If you can handle this matter for me within a year, I will promote you to prime minister."

Zhongli's eyes were red with "gratitude", and he knelt down towards the emperor again, and kowtowed to the emperor a few times, saying that he would do his best to bow and die for the emperor.

When Zhongli came out of the palace, he couldn't help but look down at his knees and rub them with a wry smile.

I really don't like this society!

Unless you become the emperor, you have to kneel when you see anyone, just after seeing the emperor for a while, how many times have you knelt down, no wonder Xiaoyanzi invented an easy way to kneel.

After Zhongli returned, he began to prepare.

Now that he has received the emperor's approval, he naturally wants to use the emperor's identity to lobby the princes and ministers below to join his huge cattle and sheep raising industry.

Some people refused, but someone rushed to keep up with her, and Zhongli became a hot person in Yuanwu for a while.

That's not all, Zhongli swaggered into the eldest princess's mansion as a lobbying place.
