Inside the Golden Luang Palace.

As soon as he went to the court, Su Yulun and Yasukuni went out separately to talk to Xiao Yan about the disaster relief and resettlement situation in Kuncheng.

It has been more than two months since this incident, and the people of Kuncheng have basically been resettled by the imperial court.

It's just that the damage to Kuncheng is too great for this earthquake, and the post-disaster reconstruction work will be a long and expensive project, and it will be difficult for the state treasury to come up with so much money to fill it.

Xiao Shen turned his eyes to look at the Hubu Shangshu.

Hubu Shangshu only felt that his scalp was numb, so he could only stand up and say in a mournful voice: "Your Majesty, the treasury has spent a lot this year, and the amount of silver that can be allocated to Kuncheng is really limited." ”

If you don't have any money, even if you have, you have to cry poor!

Otherwise, I don't know how many of these jackals, tigers and leopards standing next to the hall want to take money from the treasury!

Xiao Shen frowned a pair of heroic sword eyebrows with a little embarrassment, "Aiqing is saying that the treasury is out of silver?" ”

Tobe Shangshu nodded in embarrassment, "Yes." ”

Xiao Yan's brows tightened, and he slowly raised his eyelids, his gaze swept over the hundred officials below.

The ministers hurriedly bowed their heads and pretended to be dead, silently thinking in their hearts, if you can't see me, you can't see me!

Don't look at the emperor's worried look, he actually doesn't know what he is calculating in his heart, the eyes that suppress the calculation are clearly looking at which of their ministers has more fat, so as to scrape off a layer of oil and water from above!

Should I say it or not, these ministers have a little correct understanding of Xiao Yan.

Sure enough, everyone heard Xiao Shen say faintly: "Lord Li, I heard that you are planning to buy a mountain villa on the outskirts of the city recently?" Such a good Zhuangzi costs a lot of money. ”

Lord Li's hairs stood up, he just mentioned it to his daughter-in-law, how could this matter reach the emperor's ears!

Master Li wanted to play dead, but apparently the emperor couldn't agree.

"Back to the emperor, no, there is no matter."

Xiao Yan was noncommittal, and turned his gaze to the other ministers, and after calling them by name, they were so frightened that they couldn't cry that they didn't want anything anymore, so the emperor would let them go!

But obviously, Xiao Yan didn't intend to let them go like that.

To be able to stand in this Jinluan Palace, there are not a few empty pockets, a court minister, the highest amount of money a year is limited, even if you don't eat or drink for decades, it is impossible to afford a big mansion in the capital, but these people in front of you, which house has no pavilions.

"Kuncheng is so difficult, I am really uncomfortable as the king of a country, Gonggong Zhang, from today until the successful reconstruction of Kuncheng, I will no longer add new clothes, and the expenses in the palace will be halved, in order to reduce the expenses in the palace, you will not say anything in front of me in the future about accepting the harem and not the harem, I can't afford to raise one more person, one more mouth."

If the harem is not accepted, how can their eldest daughter and youngest daughter get close to the emperor!

That's not going to work!

"Your Majesty, Wechen has no other preferences over the years, and there is still a balance of family expenses, and Wechen is willing to give the remaining money to make a small contribution to the people of Kuncheng."

The minister who reacted quickly immediately stood up and took a stand.

Some people started it, and others couldn't follow if they didn't want to, so they could only say that they were willing to contribute to the court.

But the money they dare to take out is also limited, and Xiao Shen wants more than that.

"Prime Minister Su, I heard that you also have some contacts with the imperial merchants over there in Jiangnan?"

Su Yulun finally returned to the dynasty, and he wanted to keep a low profile, but the emperor broke him in public.

"Back to the emperor, the ministers have no close contact with the imperial merchants, but they have only met once, but the ministers think that as the imperial merchants, when the country is in trouble, they also have the responsibility to stand up and lend a helping hand to the country, the emperor can rest assured, the ministers must inform them of this matter, let them contribute to the country, and they will definitely call on more businessmen to participate in the matter of aiding Kuncheng."

Tut!

Listen up!

When the prime minister is different, the emperor's mouth is open, and the prime minister can know what the emperor means.

Sure enough, everyone saw that the emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Then there is Lao Aiqing, if you other Aiqing know such people, you can also inform them." ”

What to tell them Xiao Yan didn't say it explicitly, but everyone who knew knew that the emperor asked them to ask the merchant for money!

The emperor's calculation is so good that the cows grazing outside the border can hear it!

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers all scolded in their hearts, but fortunately, the emperor did not embarrass them, but just asked them to get silver.

"Hey, you said that even if we got the money, it wouldn't be enough, unless we can find another gold mine."

There are younger ministers who don't know anything, and they muttered to their colleagues before they even walked out of the palace gate.

When his colleague heard this, he hurriedly made a silent gesture to him, "Lord Zhang is still cautious." "What gold mine is not gold, is that so easy to find?

Even if he finds it, can the emperor let everyone know?

The lord also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly silenced him, and couldn't help but speed up his pace and leave the palace.

Outside the palace gate, the carriages of various mansions were parked, all waiting for the ministers of the court to go to court.

Behind these carriages, there was an emaciated figure hiding in the shadows, quietly observing the direction of the palace gate.

It's just that he doesn't recognize these officials at all, and can only guess by the carriage they get into.

When he saw the carriage of the Yasukuni Mansion passing in front of him, he hurriedly chased after it.

It's just that the injuries on his body haven't healed and he can't walk the carriage at all, but fortunately, the car is relatively congested at this time, and he finally stopped in front of the carriage.

The coachman was startled and quickly stopped the carriage, and after seeing the person who stopped the car, he couldn't help but curse angrily, "What are you doing, do you want to die?" Don't look at whose carriage this is, this is also what you can stop? ”

Si Chen looked at the badge on the carriage and slowly knelt down, "Ask the Duke of Yasukuni to be the master of the lower officials." ”

It took a long time for a powerful voice to come from the car, "If you have a grievance, you can go to Jing Zhao Yin's Mansion to report to the official, you can rest assured, Jing Zhao Yin is definitely a fair and strict good official, and he will not let go of a person who does evil." ”

Si Chen clenched his fists and choked up: "Grandpa Guo, Jing Zhaoyin can't control this matter, it's about Kuncheng." ”

The eyes of the person sitting in the carriage darkened slightly, and after lifting the corner of the curtain to look at Si Chen, he asked the guards to take him to the Zhenguo Mansion.

Si Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Duke of Yasukuni was willing to see him.

Long before he was in the middle of Tanhua, he was helped by the Yasukuni Gong, who was the only person he trusted in the capital.

It wasn't that he didn't think of looking for Yasukuni before, but the letter he sent to Yasukuni's mansion was in vain, and today he wanted to take a look outside the palace gate, but he didn't expect him to meet Yasukuni's carriage and horses!
