Concubine Lan comforted and said: "Your Majesty, now that Daqin has to use money everywhere, it is normal for the economy to be tight for a while. Your Majesty does not need to blame himself. “

Liu Yuan said: "The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, one or two eat with fat brains. But the people of Chen County are hungry and eat. When I think about this, I can't sleep. ”

Concubine Lan actually had a general understanding of Zhao Hai's previous financial affairs, and Zhao Hai liked luxury and grandeur even more than his father Qin Shi Huang.

Whether it is the Afang Palace under construction or the royal hunting ground under construction, it is the scale of ancient and modern.

Hundreds of thousands of craftsmen and craftsmen were requisitioned at every turn, and hundreds of thousands of prisoners in Lishan were all built around him alone.

And no matter how strong Great Qin's national strength is, it is also limited by productivity.

The pressure on the people below to pay taxes is too heavy, and many people can't stand up straight because of military service, conscription, land taxes, etc.

It was only a matter of time before Zhao Hai encountered the problem of an empty treasury.

Gritting her teeth, Concubine Lan said: "Your Majesty, the concubine still has some silver taels here, if Your Majesty doesn't dislike it, take them all." ”

After saying that, Concubine Lan took care of herself and entered a private place in the Jiangxue Palace.

It didn't take long for Concubine Lan to order the four palace maids to carry a delicate box and walk in front of Zhao Hai.

When Zhao Hai saw it, he suddenly felt extremely guilty in his heart.

He is a dignified emperor of the Great Qin Empire, and now he has been reduced to the point of asking his harem concubines to donate money to him?

Zhao Hai immediately said: "Concubine Lan! I don't want your money. ”

"It is the treasury that needs to be replenished by the state treasury, not by individual donations."

Concubine Lan chuckled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the things in this box of concubines are not ordinary objects. ”

"If Your Majesty opens it and takes a look, you will naturally understand what the concubine said."

Zhao Hai said: "Okay, then I'll see what good things Concubine Ai has brought to me." “

After Zhao Hai finished speaking, the four palace maids carrying the box had already moved their hands and feet on the box.

After a while, the cumbersome lock was opened, and a large piece of golden light shone into Zhao Hai's eyes.

"These are all precious jewelry and gold of Great Qin, one piece is worth thousands of dollars, Your Majesty should not underestimate them."

Zhao Hai immediately asked in surprise: "Concubine Lan, these things of yours are really worth a lot of money." ”

Zhao Hai personally stepped forward to check and found that there were not only gold and jewels in the box, but also various land deeds and land deeds.

Roughly calculated, there are millions of dollars.

Zhao Hai asked, "Aifei, where did you get such a big box of treasures?" ”

Concubine Lan pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is all the dowry that my father gave me." ”

"My father followed my grandfather to conquer the Six Kingdoms, and whenever I captured a city, my grandfather would ask His Majesty the Emperor for a reward."

"His Majesty the Emperor loved to reward his grandfather with the jewels and gold seized from the palaces of the Six Kingdoms."

"When the concubines entered the palace as concubines, a large part of them were given to the concubines by their grandfather and father as dowries."

Zhao Hai said distressedly: "How can I use your dowry?" ”

Concubine Lan said, "Your Majesty is not allowed to say that. The dowries of the concubines are all from Daqin, and they are all from the people of this world. If there is no Great Qin, what is the use of having more jewels for the concubines? ”

Zhao Hai grabbed Concubine Lan, gently climbed up to Concubine Lan's back with both hands and said, "Concubine Lan, if those ministers had your open-mindedness, I wouldn't be so embarrassed. ”

Concubine Lan leaned on Zhao Hai and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask your father for the land deed to help Your Majesty survive this difficulty?" “

Zhao Hai looked at him and said, "This money shouldn't be paid by you at all." ”

"What is going to come out should be hundreds of officials, and it should be those officials who are in the name of serving the country and the people all day long, and are in chaos in private!"

Early in the morning, entering the palace to face the saint needs to wait in the side hall waiting for the queue here.

Zhao Hai passed by, but saw a white-clothed figure kneeling on the ground.

Zhao Hai was suddenly shocked, isn't this Wang Xiuhu?

He hadn't even gone back yet.

Zhao Hai hurriedly walked in front of Wang Xiuhu and said to the Shenyu general: "Wang Xiuhu, why haven't you gone back yet?" ”

Wang Xiuhu's handsome face looked a little tired, but he was still full of energy, showing the general's healthy physique.

Wang Xiuhu respectfully clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty has not issued an order for the last general to leave, and Xiuhu does not dare to act without permission." ”

Zhao Hai laughed angrily, this guy was so stubborn, he knelt in the side hall for two days and one night.

"Alright, I'll order you to go back and rest early."

"Obey." Wang Xiuhu clenched his fists and got up.

Because he knelt for two days and one night, Wang Xiuhu stood unsteadily when he got up, and he stumbled to the side.

But Wang Xiuhu held on to his body and limped outside.

Zhao Hai wanted to laugh when he saw this, but he couldn't help it.

Wang Xiuhu walked out of the door of the side hall, and the expression on his face was also like relief after being amnestied.

It just so happened that Li Angelica was waiting for Zhao Hai outside the door.

As soon as Wang Xiuhu came out, the two looked at each other again.

Wang Xiuhu said: "Why are you here? ”

Li Angelica said lightly: "Where Your Majesty is, I will be there." ”

Wang Xiuhu stood still, looked at him for a long time, and then spoke.

"Your martial arts roots are very good, are you interested in learning martial arts from me?"

Li Angelica clenched his fists and said: "Thanks to General Wang's love, I just want to follow Your Majesty and serve Your Majesty in this life." As for learning martial arts, it's not what I want. ”

Wang Xiuhu persuaded: "If you can't learn martial arts, it's a pity that you have a talent that is rare in a hundred years." ”

can make Wang Xiuhu, whose eyes are above the top, say this, which is enough to prove how amazing Li Angelica was that day.

Wang Xiuhu is also a person who loves talents, and said: "If you learn martial arts from my master, within three years, the military generals of the entire Great Qin will not have your three-in-one enemy." ”

In addition to Li Angelica's martial arts talent, his height, strength, and will can be called first-class, if he can really go through systematic training, he can go on a horse and kill the enemy.

Great Qin will definitely get another peerless general.

"No need, I'm just a eunuch, and I'm not interested in going into battle to kill the enemy."

Wang Xiuhu did not persuade again, but left by himself.

After walking about fifteen steps, Wang Xiuhu turned around and said, "I am a person who has a strange premonition. Sooner or later, one day, you will learn martial arts. ”

"I can feel that there will be a battle between you and me."

"At that time, I won't lose to you again."

Li Angelica lowered his head and said lightly: "Maybe." ”

Wang Xiuhu didn't speak anymore and strode away.

Behind them, the glittering galaxy was eclipsed by the two of them.

……

Above the early dynasty.

After Zhao Hai's instructions, Zhao Gao said in a unique sharp voice: "If you have something to do with the class, you will play early, and if you have nothing to do, you will retreat from the court." ”

Today, Liu Yuan stood still like an old tree in the audience, without saying a word.
