Chapter 227: A Special Pilgrimage
Qiu Yin didn't leave at this time, and it wasn't if she didn't leave, although she didn't know much about Wufu, Wufu's physical body was indeed very strong.
But Qiu Yin didn't know that Xiao Ran was in the Double Seven Realm, and the golden body of Buddhism was not bad, Xiao Ran was asking Libra Cheng if the two people in purple clothes and red sleeves couldn't take down Xiao Ran, let alone Qiu Yin.
Xiao Ran didn't want to get up tomorrow morning, and the Tiandu Emperor would have to suffer the pain of losing his daughter.
Who made Xiao Ran a good person.
In the end, Qiu Yin hesitated for a long time, but still left with a red face.
Qiu Yin, who was leaving, looked at Xiao Ran's courtyard and secretly swore in his heart: "Teacher, you must be promoted to the Seven Realms in the future!"
Qiu Yin's wish, Xiao Ran naturally didn't know.
After Qiu Yin left, one person also left in the dark,
The princess came to His Majesty's courtyard in the middle of the night, and naturally there were people in the palace who paid attention to this matter.
Seeing that the princess left intact, it was natural that someone told the Emperor of Tiandu about the situation here.
The Tiandu Emperor, who got what had happened, heard the description of the people below and didn't say anything.
Early in the morning of the first day, the court meeting of the Tiandu Dynasty began.
It's just that the place where the pilgrimage meeting starts is not in the Jinluan Hall on weekdays, but in another palace.
It's more like a banquet, the ministers were led here by the palace eunuchs, and many traditional ministers called the old emperor mediocre, not good at going to court, and doing some useless things.
However, they only dare to talk about it in private.
Some of the other courtiers who were very supportive of the emperor's reforms were also curious, wondering why His Majesty held the court in this way.
As all the ministers took their seats, the Tiandu Emperor also entered the palace with steady steps, and at the same time, an elderly lover also followed behind the Tiandu Emperor, only slightly behind by half a position.
In the palace at this time, it was definitely beyond the etiquette system, but the Tiandu Emperor and this person still came in talking and laughing.
Maybe some older officials don't know Xiao Ran, but some young Guanyue knows, because this person is their teacher, Xiao Ran!
And Xiao Ran is the lord of the Xiao Dynasty!
Today's Xiao Dynasty has long been famous in the mainland, and everyone knows it.
The young officials' expressions were excited, but it made the old officials who did not have a good face wonder who this person was.
Although Xiao Ran had worked as a teacher in the academy before, in most cases, he had no contact with the ministers of the court.
The palace dinner of that year has passed so long that some people have forgotten about this person.
Xiao Ran, the emperor of the Xiao Dynasty, used to be a teacher in the academy, but now that this teacher has come to Tiandu again, many people have not thought of it.
All the courtiers had a breakfast, and at the signal of the old emperor, everyone ate inexplicably.
At the end of the meal, the prime minister got up and said, "Your Majesty, the court meeting has been postponed a lot!"
As soon as the prime minister said that, all the courtiers also put down their dishes and chopsticks, looking at His Majesty, not knowing what tricks this man was going to do today.
Emperor Tiandu also wiped his mouth and said, "Then let's start our daily deliberations!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice about the construction of the cement road, the Tiandu treasury is empty, and the cost of connecting the two big cities of the Tiandu Dynasty is absolutely unbearable!"
A minister of the DPRK and China came out and said.
"Back to Your Majesty, teacher, the minister thinks that we should insist, the two cities have a population of 20 million, and the connection of the two ministers can also reduce the transportation of Chen Ben, which is conducive to commerce and trade, and there are more than a dozen cities along the road, and the people of these cities can also get benefits!"
A young official came out to raise objections, but this young official should call His Majesty a teacher, it stands to reason that all officials should be the emperor's protégés, but no official will call the emperor a teacher.
The ministers were also puzzled.
In recent days, in order to build roads, the Tiandu court has quarreled for a long time.
"Hmph! The problem is that when the demon clan is attacking, we need to spend a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to resist the demon clan, and we are not able to build roads at all! You young people just like to talk about it! It is completely out of touch with reality. ”
Another older official came out to refute it.
As a result, other young officials were also not convinced: "Who is in drought every year in the Tiandu Dynasty, so don't we develop the old days, as long as the road is completed, it will be a good thing for the people and the country! Only you pedantic people are complacent! You look at the Xiao Dynasty, there is nothing and began to build roads and divide the fields, and now the people of the Xiao Dynasty have food to eat, everyone can study and practice, and everyone has their own house, don't you understand?"
Another young official retorted sharply.
"He Xiao Dynasty is Xiao Dynasty, we are all Tiandu, we need to consider our reality!"
Conservatives continue to retort, and it all sounds reasonable.
At this time, two opposing factions have been formed above the court!
No one will obey anyone!
Emperor Tiandu was accustomed to all this, and he turned his head to Xiao Ran and said, "What does Emperor Xiao think to deal with!"
Emperor Tiandu's words instantly caused a huge wave in the court.
The old ministers naturally know that in this continent now, the Xiao family, who is called the emperor, is only in the Xiao Dynasty.
The young man who participated in the court meeting today turned out to be the emperor of the Xiao Dynasty.
The young one showed admiration on his face, although they were in the Tiandu, but they all knew the movements of the Xiao Dynasty, and the news that Xiao Ran had died in the Demon Continent came when the news came, and their students almost had to go to the Xiao Dynasty to help stabilize the court.
But the road was so long that they could not reach the Xiao Dynasty at all.
Later, the elder brother returned safely and thwarted the plan of the Demon Clan's landing on the continent, Xiao Ran's fame reached its peak, and everyone was proud to follow such an emperor.
Xiao Ran glanced at the conservative minister, and said with a smile: "This matter is the same in my Xiao Dynasty, it's not that the treasury can't get the silver taels, but everyone thinks that such an investment is too big and there may be risks."
However, in the end, when we did this, the economy of the Xiao Dynasty began to improve, such as today, there are a lot of displaced people in the capital because of the non-demon clan, how to deal with this group of displaced people, I don't know what to do!"
Xiao Ran's question made the ministers silent, because the number of displaced people this time has reached more than 10 million, because it is not a drought or flood, so everyone still has some surplus food, and when the surplus food is eaten, how to settle these more than 10 million people is a problem!
If it is not done well, the country will be in turmoil.
At this time, a minister said: "The household department will pay for the food, just stay up until the demon clan retreats!"
Xiao Ran laughed again and said, "More than 10 million displaced people, it's not that I haven't been an emperor, the food that the Tiandu Dynasty can mobilize can support at most half a year! But what about half a year later?"
"Half a year later, the displaced people will naturally return to their original places to live!"
One minister took it for granted.
"You are very simple, it is estimated that you have never seen the people of the demon clan! The houses where the demon clan passed through were destroyed, the land was trampled, and all the food planted in the field was destroyed, so did you return to the original place and wait for death?"
Xiao Ran's words made the courtiers powerless to refute.
Xiao Ran continued: "Building roads, you can give them a job, so that there will be no riots when they have no fixed place, and at the same time, with money, they can buy some land and food, and they can directly stabilize the people, and they can increase taxes, and when the roads are repaired, the trade between the two big cities will be smooth, and many displaced people can also engage in commerce and trade, and the conflict will be resolved soon?"
Trade is open, and tax revenue is coming! Everyone is happy! Remember, input and output are always related, don't think about how to save money and collect taxes, think about expanding the tax base, if you give a mouthful of food to a common person, it is equivalent to an extra tax resident, and if you give 10 million people a bite to eat, you will have 10 million more tax residents!
You know?"
Xiao Ran's explanation is so simple and clear, it turns out that some old officials of the household department are also ashamed at the moment, in fact, this question is not difficult to understand, but they think about the problem too narrowly.
