Yang Guang and Lin Yaner's wedding is scheduled for three days later.

When this news came out, the harem concubines were envious.

You must know that among them, except for Queen Xiao, almost no one has this treatment, and there are even some who are more miserable, since they entered the palace, they have not seen Yang Guang's true face up close.

The previous wedding between Ye Xiaoqiao and Yang Guang had already stimulated them a lot, and now there is another Lin Yan'er, what else can you do besides jealousy?

After all, they didn't dare to blatantly confront Yang Guang, what if they went too far and were expelled from the palace?

As for Yang Guang, he is also looking forward to the wedding.

He was thinking about his sisters, and it wasn't a day or two.

Helplessly, Lin Yan'er never let him touch it.

This time, on the night of the cave room, Lin Yan'er always has no reason to refuse, right?

He thought about it, it was not enough for him and Lin Yan'er to come to the cave room, he had to pull Ye Xiaoqiao over too, and even found a reason, Lin Yan'er had no experience in the cave room, so she found an experienced guide and guidance.

It's such a beautiful scenery just thinking about it.

At the court meeting the next day, Yang Guang was in a good mood.

Even after seeing a list of several corrupt officials and corrupt officials submitted by Xue Yan, it was very rare that he was not as angry as before, but signed the list lightly, and with a stroke of the pen, he was sentenced to a decisive decision.

In the court, Yang Guang was in a happy mood, and everyone relaxed.

The official department Shangshu said with a smile: "Thanks to Your Majesty's recent vigorous anti-corruption and anti-corruption, now, the number of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the entire Great Sui can be described as "rare". According to this scenario, I believe that in a few years, the corrupt officials will be extinct."

Xue Yan interjected: "The official department is too optimistic, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are like sparks, it seems to be weak, but in fact, if you relax a little, you will make a comeback."

"With your regulator and your chief regulator, it's as difficult for them to make a comeback." The official replied with a smile.

Xue Yan was noncommittal.

At this time, Yang Guang echoed: "The official department is reasonable, in the days when I left, the regulatory authorities still made a lot of achievements, and Xue Yan, as the main supervisor, made great contributions."

"All this, if I don't reward Xue Yan, it will inevitably seem that I am too petty."

"Xue Yan, let's say, what reward do you want?"

Yang Guang looked at her with a smile.

Xue Yan hesitated, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, if you have to give it a reward, then I hope to ask for some silver."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Yang Guang couldn't help but be quite surprised, in his memory, this was the first time Xue Yan asked him for silver. Could it be that you are going to save a dowry for yourself?

Thinking of this, he immediately laughed jokingly: "Yes, no problem, pass on my order, let the Internal Affairs Office prepare some gold and silver, and send it to Xue Yan after the next court."

"The old slave obeys." Yang Gonggong said that although Yang Guang did not say the specific amount, in fact, in the Great Sui, there is a complete system for rewarding civil and military officials, generally speaking, a courtier of Xue Yan's level, if you want to be rewarded, you can give up to 100,000 taels of silver, or the equivalent of gold.

"Okay, Xue Yan, you go down first." Seeing that Xue Yan was still kneeling on the ground, Yang Guang took the initiative to remind him.

Unexpectedly, Xue Yan said, "Your Majesty, what the minister wants is not a little silver, but a lot."

"How much?" Yang Guang was stunned.

Xue Yan said in a deep voice, "The minister wants a million taels of silver."

"A million taels?" Yang Guang was slightly suspicious, there was not much silver, but Xue Yan's reaction was undoubtedly a little strange.

After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "If you want a million taels of silver, this is naturally not a problem, but in order to convince the hundred officials, you have to give me a reasonable reason."

"Otherwise, wouldn't I have become a fortune boy? When the time comes, the officials will all come to me and ask me for money, so why don't I feel sorry for the Hubu Shangshu?"

A joke

, which immediately made everyone laugh.

Only Xue Yan's face was full of seriousness, and he said word by word: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the minister wants this million taels of silver, not for his own daily expenses, but for the purpose of donating all of it to the minister's hometown."

"That's not enough." Yang Guangdao: "Hometown, everyone has it, and the imperial court is responsible for issuing you a fortune, which is the obligation of the imperial court, but in the obligations of the imperial court, it does not include taking care of your hometown for you."

Yang Guang's words seemed a little ruthless.

In fact, it makes sense.

There are dozens of officials in the court, all of whom have hometowns, and if he dares to promise to donate money for Xue Yan's hometown, it is conceivable that after the next dynasty, a large number of officials will definitely come to him one after another, asking him to donate money for their hometown.

Because, everyone wants to have a name of righteousness.

Borrow the hands of the imperial court to earn a name of benevolence and righteousness for yourself, how to look at this deal, how cost-effective!

"Your Majesty doesn't know anything, but the situation in Chen's hometown is quite special."

Xue Yan arched his hand and said, "Chen's hometown is a small village with a population of about thousands, and the land in the whole village is barren, even if you buy seeds, you can't grow food on that land. And farming, which is the only means of survival for the people, without this means, your Majesty can imagine how hungry and cold their lives must be......

As she spoke, Xue Yan's eyes were a little red.

"When Chen was a child, he lived in that small village until he was taken away by his master, and because his parents died when he was a child, he grew up eating hundreds of family meals."

"Your Majesty, do you know what kind of food the ministers and relatives in the township usually use to fill their stomachs?"

She suddenly asked Yang Guang.

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and said unconsciously: "It can't be tree bark, grass roots, Guanyin soil or something, right?"

"Your Majesty, have you ever been to the minister's hometown?" Xue Yan nodded and wiped her tears.

Yang Guang smiled: "This is all a well-known thing, most of the barren areas, don't the people come here like this? And let them get rid of these, and every family can eat white flour steamed buns, which is one of the philosophies of my governance."

"Since Your Majesty knows, the minister will not say more." Xue Yan's voice trembled slightly: "It's just that even if it's these things, they are usually reluctant to eat more. Usually they starve for a few days, and only when they have only half a breath left, then they barely eat a little to save their lives."

"A while ago, they jointly sent a letter to the minister, saying that everything that could be eaten in the village had been eaten, and in just two months, more than half of the villagers had starved to death."

Xue Yan choked up quietly, as if she was about to lose her words.
