Chapter 123: I won't go to death

Sima Shao sneered at the corner of his mouth, I am so crazy that I will promise you to help you deal with government affairs.

Isn't it good to eat, drink, and have fun every day, and to be comfortable with salted fish in your own mansion?

I have to get up early in the morning and go to bed.

Listen to these wine bags and rice bags fighting all day long?

Sima Shao looked around, his face showing disdain.

Don't look at the current minister's amiable face, everyone admires him.

That's because it's on top of the main hall.

If these words were spread in private today, they would not be used by those family officials to admonish them every day.

At that moment, Sima Shao refused.

"Father, the son is still young. There is no urgency to help with government affairs. Nowadays, it is still a matter of disaster relief. ”

After speaking, he looked at the ministers of the palace with a serious face.

"The key to the success of my plan today is the word secret. All the ministers are the retained ministers of the emperor. I hope I don't do anything sorry for my father. ”

"Oh, Your Highness, say it quickly, we are all His Majesty's courtiers, so we naturally know the seriousness of the matter." General Zhang was impatient and urged Sima Shao.

Then he looked at the ministers of the court with a solemn face.

"The old man's ugly words are ahead. I know that you all have something to do with the family more or less, but if anyone dares to spoil His Majesty's good deeds this time, don't blame the old man for not being merciful. ”

Sima Shao touched his head and smiled.

"Actually, in the end, it's nothing. It is to desperately reduce the presence of food. ”

"Now the reason why the family is clinging to the grain and not letting go. It's nothing more than waiting for the official warehouse to run out of food, and then make a lot of money. ”

"Now, with cash-for-work, the scarcity of food has been greatly alleviated. As long as we have enough food for this month. Food prices will naturally come down. Solving the disaster is not a difficult task. ”

The ministers of the full hall listened quietly to Sima Shao's eloquent conversation, and his face showed an expression of admiration from time to time.

"It's not going to be a good month. Now, when the battle is full, the imperial court can come up with more than 20 days of food. What to do with the remaining ten or so days? No one can take it out except for the family. ”

"Could it be that you have a way to get the family to take the initiative to hand over the grain?" General Zhang couldn't help but ask.

Sima Shao smiled: "There is still a way." To put it simply, it's two words. Collect donations! Hold an unprecedented fundraising meeting and forcibly let the family raise food! ”

Sima Shao explained with a smile: "Of course, this is not a simple fundraiser. Rather, it is a conditional fundraiser. ”

At the fundraising meeting, my father made a decree to erect a tall and magnificent stone monument of merit outside the gate of Jiankang City. All the food donated by the families is engraved on it. As long as the Great Jin Dynasty is not extinguished, this merit monument will remain forever! ”

In an instant, a kind of civil and military minister was stunned in surprise.

The third prince was even more angry and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about. This group of selfish families watched the suffering of the victims and did not respond. If the court doesn't condemn them, it's just that. How can there be a reason to make meritorious contributions to them! ”

Sima Shao smiled: "Third brother, did you misunderstand. The merit monument is not so good! If you don't get it right, the merit monument will become a shame monument. ”

That's a good point!

In an instant, all the ministers understood what Sima Shao meant.

If a merit monument is erected, it is impossible for the family to donate less food.

The reason why the family has stood for thousands of years. It is to rely on the good reputation of the usual business.

In a catastrophic year, they would only donate a few hundred loads of food. Their reputation is about to stink.

In order to gain more prestige, they will definitely rush to donate food. It's not too much to even sell your property to raise food!

This is the foundation of the family's eternal existence!

In an instant, all the ministers became excited and praised Sima Shao's brilliant idea.

But General Zhang still didn't understand.

"Since you have such a brilliant plan. Isn't it okay to directly force the family to donate food? Why do you want to use cash-for-work, I feel like it's too much? ”

"Lord Zhang, the people of the family are not stupid! If you don't completely extinguish their hopes, they won't give enough food!

"When the time comes, in case they collude with each other and collude. Only a small amount of relief food was donated. ”

"And then sell the remaining half of the grain to the court and the people several times, what is the difference between this and not raising donations!"

Also. The family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, as long as they know that the imperial court still needs more food, they will definitely open their bloody mouths and tear off a few pieces of meat fiercely.

In this way, the cash-for-work step must be taken.

Sima Shao looked at the ministers with different faces and continued: "Therefore, we must let out the news as soon as possible, and there is enough food in the court. Even tomorrow, the rumor will be released, saying that the granary of the court is very sufficient. ”

"The family is also capable people, and it is bound to estimate that there is still surplus food in the imperial court."

"As long as they don't dare to be bold enough to intercept the grain team halfway. There is no point in continuing to hold on to the food. ”

"When it comes to the fundraising conference, Your Majesty only needs to arrange a few family chess pieces to be trusted. Desperately raise the upper limit of the food donation of the merit monument. The rest of the families will definitely be able to force them to submit and donate all their food deposits. ”

"You know, the more you put the grain, the less valuable it is, rather than holding it in your hands and watching it depreciate. It's better to donate all of them and fight for a good name that will last for a hundred years. ”

When Sima Shao said this, all the ministers were extremely shocked!

Cash-for-work, spreading false news, arranging chess pieces, and merit monuments.

One link after another, interlocking. The arrangement is thorough.

No matter how capable the family is, it can't escape the fate of donating food obediently.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only just come of age, and he has such a rigorous and meticulous mind and plan.

What a cunning little fox!

Ahh

At that moment, the household servant knelt on the ground and congratulated Emperor Jin Yuan.

"Your Majesty, this is possible! If you act according to the plan that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said. The disaster can be solved! ”

"Hahaha......" Emperor Jin Yuan laughed loudly, heartily.

A knot in my heart was perfectly solved, and everything in front of me became pleasing to the eye.

Sima Shao took advantage of the fact that Emperor Jin Yuan was on the rise, and hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, look at this disaster relief method, the retainers have taken it out. There was nothing to do, so Erchen went down to rest first, and he was a little tired. ”

"Tired? Come, give a seat! Emperor Jin Yuan walked up to Sima Shao, patted him on the shoulder cordially, and whispered softly.

The ancients said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger. True, true.

Even this unprincipled imperial court still wants him to handle government affairs?

I'm afraid that ten lives are not enough to pay.

In an instant, Sima Shao's heart made up his mind. Even if you starve to death, you will freeze to death if you sleep on the street. I don't eat this bowl of official rice in the court officialdom.
