Chapter 16 Countermeasures
After listening to Zhu Youzhen's narration, Bao Feng looked at Zhu Youzhen, who was getting more and more excited in front of him, he really didn't know what to say.
Is Zhu Youzhen wrong? No, he's right. The eagerness for quick success is also that he, the emperor, is too concerned about his people and the empire, and such an emperor cannot be said to be wrong in any case.
So do you want to help Zhu Youjian?
Bao Feng hesitated, on the one hand, his time in this world would be applied to himself, and governing a country was measured in years, and he couldn't waste his precious life because of this plane that had nothing to do with him and didn't have much value.
On the other hand, Bao Feng himself is an emperor, although he is more than 20 years old, but that passionate heart has not been extinguished, hearing about the current situation, from the emotional aspect, he really wants to help the emperor in front of him.
Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen thought that Bao Feng was unwilling to help him, and while he was disappointed in his heart, he also wanted to struggle, so he was ready to get up and kneel down again.
Bao Feng saw Zhu Youzhen's actions, but in the end, he was not hard enough, so he helplessly stopped the other party and said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, I will help you." ”
Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, immortal ......."
Bao Feng waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't be happy yet, to be honest, it won't be too long in the lower realm, so it's still unknown how much it can help you." ”
Bao Feng is not a selfless person in the end, although he agreed to help Zhu Youzhen just now because of a moment of soft-heartedness, and at the same time he is not ready to break his promise, but he will not completely disregard his own interests. If the time exceeds his expectations, he will still pat his ass and leave in the end, as for the reason for leaving, he has thought about it, he is an immortal, he can't stay in the mortal world forever.
Zhu Youzhen didn't have much emotional fluctuation when he heard this, in his opinion, Bao Feng was an immortal, as long as Bao Feng promised to help him, he could succeed in a minute, as for Bao Feng to leave in the end, to be honest, he was still relieved, after all, no emperor was really willing to endure that there was still a person on top of his head.
"Then please ask the immortals to quickly cast spells to help me return to the bright future!" Zhu Youzhen said.
Bao Feng was a little embarrassed when he heard this, how could he, a fake immortal, have any mana. However, as an old bookworm, he instantly thought of a solution, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, it's a pity that I can help you but can't use spells to help you." ”
Zhu Youzhen was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Bao Feng with some suspicion.
Seeing this, Bao Feng opened his mouth in order not to be recognized as an immortal: "Your Majesty should have heard many sayings that the stars reincarnated in the mortal world to eliminate the troubled times, have you ever heard that some immortals directly use great magic to forcibly change the mortal world?" ”
Zhu Youzhen shook his head when he heard this, and asked suspiciously: "I really haven't heard of it, dare to ask what are the taboos among the immortals?" ”
"That's true." Bao Feng said in a serious nonsense: "There is a separation between immortals, and there is a certain number of things in the mortal world, although immortals can change, but they cannot use immortal means, otherwise they will be punished by heaven, and what they do will also be affected." ”
Zhu Youzhen saw that Bao Feng said so solemnly, and he did not doubt him, but he was extremely lost in his heart, and what was the use of immortals who could not use immortal methods. Thinking in his heart, his face unconsciously revealed.
Bao Feng saw Zhu Youzhen's face change, and after thinking about it, he probably understood what he was thinking, but he didn't care too much, and he didn't want to help him wholeheartedly. Of course, the necessary expression is still required, and he said to Zhu Youzhen with a playful face: "Your Majesty does not regret it, I feel that it is useless to be here." ”
Zhu Youzhen's heart sank when he heard this, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to explain: "Where the immortal said, the immortal is willing to help me, which is already a great grace. ”
Bao Feng waved his hand and said indifferently: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, since you promised to help Your Majesty, you won't break your word, although you can't use immortal methods, you can also use some other means." Let's discuss what to do next. ”
Zhu Youzhen's disappointment in his heart decreased slightly, and said: "Thank you to Shangxian, I don't know if Shangxian has any good suggestions?" ”
"Suggestions?" Bao Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Then let's talk about it." In the next view, everything now can't get around the word money, and His Majesty wants to reorganize the armament and return it, or give relief to the victims, without money and food, everything can only stay on paper and cannot be implemented. Dare to ask Your Majesty how are your finances now? ”
"Huh...... Dissatisfied with the immortals, the empire's finances are very bad now, and I could rely on the inner treasury subsidies obtained from suppressing the eunuchs before, but now the inner treasury is almost exhausted. Zhu Youzhen said with a wry smile.
"Is that so. Do you know why the finances are like this? In the past 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, is it like this every year? Bao Feng asked.
"Why do you have to ask knowingly, I have already finished reading the books given by Shangxian last time, and I understand where the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty's finances are, but even if I know it, I can't solve it, I don't know if Shangxian has a good plan?" Zhu Youzhen said.
"Oh? I don't know why Your Majesty can't solve it? Bao Feng asked.
"Why do you think I'm like this now?" Zhu Youzhen said.
Bao Feng nodded when he heard this, and asked again: "So, if I help Your Majesty solve the obstacles that prevent you from reforming the empire's finances now, is it enough?" ”
Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed when he heard this: "As long as the immortal makes a move, I can solve the rest of the rest." ”
Bao Feng nodded when he heard this, and asked, "How many servants does Your Majesty have available now......
"What?" Zhu Youzhen looked at Bao Feng puzzled......
