After coming back from Rong You's place, Feng Huali just made people look at Rong You tightly, and as for the specific arrangements, they haven't been dealt with yet, but they are still very serious about political affairs.

Yuedi came in with two letters in her hand at this time: "The emperor sent someone to send a letter back, one is about official affairs, and the other is a private letter written by the emperor to Niangniang, and the emperor also specially asked that it has nothing to do with official business." ”

After speaking, Yuedi looked at Niangniang with an ambiguous face: "Niangniang, did you say that the emperor missed you, so this letter was written, which is really enviable." ”

Feng Huali said with some amusement: "What's the matter, little girl, the old lady is worried about him, is there anything wrong with writing a letter to comfort and comfort me?" ”

"That's right, that's right, it's just that it's too little, how long has the emperor been gone before he came back with a letter." Yuedi said dissatisfied.

Yuedi felt that her mother was worried about this and that every day, and she had to deal with the difficulties of the minister, and she also had to deal with the women in the harem, but the emperor still didn't mean anything.

Feng Huali first opened the letter about official business and prepared a reply.

Yan Yu felt that he could prepare for the matter of the feudal kings in various places, but he couldn't be in a hurry, otherwise the rabbit would bite if he was in a hurry, but the whole thing was completely left to Feng Huali to make his own decision.

Another big thing is that we must make adequate preparations for the food, grass and military supplies on the front line, because now the two sides are in a stalemate stage, and this war does not know how long it will be fought, so there can be no problems with the follow-up materials.

There is also about the thousand-faced Yulang, Yan Yu feels that the role of this person is not very big, and he only needs to be imprisoned, as for Zhang Heng and Mei Chengyu, they are even more insufficient and worried.

"Yuedi, you go to find the two adults from the household department and the military department." Feng Huali said.

"It's noon at this time, and the two adults must have lunch too, so it's better to come later." Yuedi reminded on the side.

Feng Huali looked at the sun outside, and found that it was indeed not suitable to find someone now, so he nodded and let Yuedi prepare lunch.

After eating lunch and taking a nap for a while, the two Shangshu of the military department and the secretary of the household department came.

"Li Lin, the secretary of the Ministry of Soldiers, see Niangniang."

"Shen Quan, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, participates in Niangniang." Speaking of which, it was the first time that he had the opportunity to talk to this lady alone, and he was still a little nervous in his heart.

Feng Hua left his seat and said: "This time, the two ministers are called to want to know what the current grain, grass, military supplies and military supplies of the Jiang Kingdom and the military strength of the Jiang Kingdom are, because the emperor estimates that this war will be a protracted war, so I also hope that the two ministers can do these things well." ”

The expressions on the faces of the two ministers were also very heavy, after all, victory has always been a disaster for a country, but the household department said: "Shufei Niangniang, the current situation in our Jiangguo is not very optimistic, so the minister wants to ask Niangniang if you want to start increasing taxes in advance." ”

Feng Huali was very surprised, it was only a month before he started to raise taxes in advance: "What is the national strength of the Jiang Kingdom, it is better for Lord Shen to ask you to tell the truth, so that the palace can be mentally prepared." ”

Shen Quan conservatively estimated a number: "According to the current preparation, the current treasury can barely support about half a year, but this is an estimate made by the alliance of the Hidden Kingdom over the years, if the Hidden Kingdom is our enemy now, we can only hold out for about four months." ”

Feng Huali didn't expect the situation to be so serious now: "Why is the treasury of the Jiang Kingdom so empty. ”

Feng Huali felt that this country could achieve the situation of the three kingdoms, which showed that the comprehensive strength was still quite good, but how could it not last even four months.

"Concubine Niangniang doesn't know, because there is no war in Jiangguo all year round, so Jiangguo's taxes are already very low, resulting in a decrease in treasury revenue, so the incident will suddenly be a little unhurried."

Feng Huali's face sank and said, "Since that's the case, let's start raising taxes." ”

However, the head of the household department said with some embarrassment: "The people's taxes have been relatively low for more than ten years, and if the taxes are suddenly increased, will it aggravate the people's grievances." ”

"What time is it now, let's set the tax in a reasonable position, and if it is not a last resort, the tax will not be increased, and then now we will start to reduce the income of the court officials."

But the next day, when he came to the court to say that he would reduce the number of ministers, all the ministers below said no, and Feng Huali looked at the noisy ministers below and did not speak.

Finally, the noisy voices of the people below were quieter, and then Feng Huali spoke: "Noisy, keep talking, why don't you say it, this palace didn't expect to see that the ministers can still care so much about everyone's gains and losses at this kind of life and death juncture, I really don't know if you can still stand here and say such things without Jiangguo." ”

The ministers below immediately said unconvinced: "Niangniang is cursing my Jiangguo for not being able to win this war, and Niangniang's idea is unacceptable." ”

Feng Huali sneered and said, "The head of the household department will repeat what he said to the palace yesterday to these ministers as it is. ”

The head of the household said these words, and the ministers below were all worried, but still no one stood up and said that they were willing to cut their own money.

An Yao stood up at this time and said, "The minister is willing, willing to take the initiative to cut half of the Yulu." ”

Feng Huali glanced at An Yao approvingly, but his face was a little less cold and said: "That's it, a few people and adults have different opinions, this palace will give the ministers a chance, if you don't want to put it forward now, this palace will give you this opportunity, don't blame this palace for being ruthless if you don't stand up now." ”

After finishing speaking, many ministers stood up, and there were still a lot of them, Feng Huali sneered and said: "Okay, very good, since the official positions of such adults no longer exist from now on, find the right person immediately." ”

As soon as Feng Huali's words came out, all the adults present were dumbfounded, they didn't expect that they would come out like this directly, and some ministers below stood up directly and said: "The opinion that Concubine Niangniang said just now can be put forward." ”

"Yes, since you don't want to, then you can leave directly, this palace is here to tell all the ministers, there is no shortage of aspiring men in the world, if the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, all the ministers know, without you, there will be new people to take your place immediately, so don't take yourself too seriously, you know?" After saying that, Feng Huali asked the guards to pull the ministers out.

It was also the first time that all the ministers present had seen this lady make a move against the ministers of the DPRK and China, and it was such a thunderous method.

Feng Huali is also the first time to rectify others, but he doesn't feel happy.
