Chapter 30 Proceedings
However, thinking of His Majesty's attitude towards Liu Yuan and the others, as well as Liu Yuan's partisan power, Wei Qian knew that he could not be reckless. Just give up with two.
At this moment, Cheng Qingshan looked at the strange eyes cast by Zhao Hai, and his heart suddenly began to furle.
Does Your Majesty know something? Why do you see me like that?
Now the ambassador won't let me go, nothing like this has ever happened before.
And today, Prime Minister Liu Cheng was also punished by His Royal Highness, this Great Qin situation, is there a new change now?
Zhao Hai looked at Cheng Qingshan and didn't say a word.
At this moment, Liu Yuan also felt a little surprised when he saw this.
How could Cheng Qingshan, who was able to easily take away the position of disaster relief envoy from His Majesty before, is not good now?
If Cheng Qingshan doesn't go, then who can help him make up for the deficit of 30,000 yuan?
How did he get a large amount of filial piety from Cheng Qingshan?
Liu Yuan continued: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty has to think twice, this Wei Qian doesn't understand anything, if he goes to Chen County, he will definitely be in chaos. ”
Wei Qian was attacked by Liu Yuan again and again, and he couldn't hold back. Wei Qian glared at Liu Yuan angrily: "Right Minister, what you said is too much." ”
"Anyway, I'm also the superintendent of a county, how can I be so unbearable by you?"
Liu Yuan sneered: "You are a few products, and you dare to speak to me like this!" ”
Zhao Hai stretched out his hand and waved: "Okay!" Liu Yuan, there is no place for you to interject here. ”
"It is already a serious crime for you to conceal the disaster in Chen County and not report it, and you are not allowed to express your opinion in the future when discussing Chen County's affairs."
When the ministers heard this, they were immediately shocked as if they had dropped a bomb in their hearts.
The bomb exploded, and the ministers began to talk.
"This, this is the first time in the world, the prime minister has been silenced by His Majesty and is not allowed to admonish."
"Yes, when has the right minister ever suffered such treatment. The right prime minister has been in power for seven or eight years, and he is favored in the front, and His Majesty has to ask the right minister no matter how big or small it is. ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's a whim, and you're going to start managing the government personally, so you and I have to be careful in our actions recently."
Liu Yuan wanted to say again, but when he thought of being reprimanded by Zhao Hai again and again today, he immediately felt that a basin of water was completely poured from head to foot, and he was dumbfounded.
Zhao Hai waved his hand: "Okay!" There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, Chen County's disaster relief ambassador will be Wei Qian. ”
"As for those who are dissatisfied and have opinions, use your actions to speak."
"Chen County was affected by the disaster, and a large amount of money was needed. If you care about Chenjun's affairs, you can donate the money to me! ”
"Is there anything else? If not, then retreat. ”
Today's court can be said to be an officialdom earthquake. All the high-ranking officials of the previous dynasty had a premonition that Great Qin might be about to change.
Everyone has a lot of thoughts, and no one is in the mood anymore.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai retreated from the courtiers, leaving Wei Qian alone and asking him to come to the Chengming Palace to discuss matters.
In the Chengming Palace.
Zhao Hai looked at Wei Qian and said, "Wei Qian, how much funding do you think is needed for this disaster relief?" ”
Wei Qian said: "Your Majesty, Chen County is the granary of my Great Qin, located in the plain, and the production area is fertile and vast. Therefore, there are many people in Chenjun. ”
Therefore, the minister's estimate of the amount of relief is astronomical. Tens of millions of dollars may be more than that. ”
Zhao Hai's eyes widened: "What?" Tens of millions of dollars! ”
Wei Qian said: "Your Majesty, it's not a minister's boast, in fact, maybe you want more." The victims did not know how much food they needed, and even more so because of the manpower they needed and the shelters they had built. ”
Zhao Hai asked, "Does the treasury have so much money?" ”
When Wei Qian heard this, he looked at Zhao Hai strangely and said, "Your Majesty, how can there be so much treasury. ”
"The treasury is already very laborious just to build His Majesty's Afang Palace."
Zhao Hai had a shocked look on his face and asked, "Afang Palace actually needs such a big expense?" ”
Wei Qian clenched his fists and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, not only the Afang Palace costs a lot of money, but there are more than 100,000 people in Xianyang's many powerful officials and Wu Xungui, and these expenses have almost accounted for one-third of the national treasury. ”
"Coupled with the supply of the army in the north, the construction of the Great Wall, and the maintenance of the royal gardens, the treasury of my Great Qin is already empty and powerless."
Only a loyal minister like Wei Qian, who was wholeheartedly for the Great Qin Society, dared to say such rebellious words in front of Zhao Hai.
Great Qin's treasury can't be broken anymore!
When Zhao Hai heard this, a huge worry rose in his heart.
In any dynasty, the economy began to collapse, and the state treasury could no longer support domestic expenses, proving that the entire state apparatus was on the verge of collapse.
If he can't improve it, then there will inevitably be great problems in Great Qin in the future.
Zhao Hai immediately made a decision and said: "In this case, immediately stop the construction of the Afang Palace, as well as all the large-scale construction works except for the Great Wall." “
"First of all, all the silver money that can be transferred from the treasury will be transferred to Chen County, so as to give priority to ensuring the stability of Daqin's national granary."
Chen County is a region of the Central China Plain, with fertile land, a large population, and relatively developed productivity. Once a large-scale famine began in Chen County, how much other places should be affected, Zhao Hai didn't dare to think about it any further.
Wei Qian listened to Zhao Hai's words, looked at Zhao Hai with an incredible face, and a thousand waves rolled up in his heart.
Your Majesty, how did you change a person?
Originally, Wei Qian said the words that were not inferior before, and he was ready to accept Zhao Hai's punishment, but he didn't expect that Zhao Hai, who had always been tyrannical and unreasonable, didn't care about his direct advice today, and cared about the disaster of Daqin.
Wei Qian knelt on the ground and kowtowed excitedly, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty."
"With a Ming monarch like Your Majesty, Great Qin will prosper forever!"
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live."
Wei Qian was already incoherent with excitement because of Zhao Hai's words.
After many years, I finally heard that His Majesty began to think about Daqin and began to be willing to pay for Daqin.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Wei Qian, I don't want you to slap the horse, just tell me that the imperial court will go all out to support you to go to Chenjun for disaster relief, can you settle this matter for me." ”
Wei Qian is not a reckless person, and he did not agree.
Wei Qian thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the minister dares to ask Your Majesty how much money he can allocate for Chen Jun.
Zhao Hai said: "How much money do you think should be needed to let Chen Jun survive this difficulty?" ”
Wei Qian gestured two fingers.
"Your Majesty, you need at least 20 million money, as well as the full cooperation of the surrounding counties of Chen County, so that the minister can be sure to solve the crisis of Chen County."
Zhao Hai waved his hand: "As long as the construction of fortifications is stopped, the treasury is abundant, and I will allocate 80 million taels of money to you, so that you can do your best to provide disaster relief." In addition, during the days when you were the special envoy for disaster relief in Chen County, I asked you to temporarily act as the county guard of the surrounding counties, and you could call on the resources and soldiers of the surrounding counties at will, what do you think?
