Chapter 45: Premeditated
Chu Lingyue, the third prince of Liuyingguo, the son of Guo Guifei, is deeply favored by the saints, second only to the crown prince.
The pretenders to the position of the princes regard the sick and weak prince as a thorn in the flesh, and they hate to replace him.
He didn't panic at all when he was suddenly named by the saint, he took half a step forward without being surprised, revealing a resolute face with a hint of femininity.
"Back to his father, the sons believe that the key to repairing the Yongshou Palace lies in the household department. As for the emptiness of the treasury mentioned by Tie Shangshu, the ministers have a way to solve it. ”
Chu Qin's tone of surprise was filled with a hint of relief, and his eyes were full of encouragement when he looked at his beloved son.
"Erchen believes that the delay in collecting the arrears of taxes in various places is due to the lack of ability of the iron lord, and the post of the head of the household department should be resided by the capable."
"The third prince's statement is inevitably biased, as we all know, Lord Tie has been conscientious and hardworking since he took the position of the head of the household department. Although there is no great merit, there is no fault, and it is a bit unkind to remove him from his official position in this way. ”
The one who spoke was Shanwu, the only general in the Liuying Kingdom who held the power of the army.
Shanwu is eight feet tall and has a strong back and bear's waist, is upright and clear-minded, and is also the prince's most powerful and loyal follower.
In his life, he looks down on the villains who are most intrigued, especially the three princes who target the crown prince everywhere.
The more Chu Ling had the intention of saying what he had just said, he couldn't be clearer.
The household department is in charge of the country's economic power, and must not be reduced to a money bag for some people to compete for fame and fortune.
Although Tie Hongji's ability is not outstanding, he is better than being honest and honest, so he must not let the conspiracy of the three princes succeed.
Tie Hongji quietly cast a grateful look at him, after all, not everyone has the courage to offend the third prince who is in the limelight in person.
"What Shan Aiqing said is very true, Yue'er's proposal is indeed a bit child's play, but it is not completely without merit."
"Holy Wisdom." The sycophants of Shi Kelang, the secretary of the ministry, made Chu Qin very satisfied.
"What does Shi Aiqing think?"
"Returning to the saint, the minister thinks that the household department can allocate funds in advance, so that the two ministries of work and rites can prepare for the repair of the Yongshou Hall with peace of mind. Then Tie Shangshu organized officials of the household department to go to various places to collect taxes and silver according to the situation. ”
"In this way, the Queen Mother's birthday will not be delayed.
Second, it can solve the problem of arrears of taxes and silver in various localities, and can effectively replenish the state treasury.
Thirdly, we will not really ignore those places that have been affected by disasters and difficulties, and it can better reflect the love of the Holy God in the hearts of the people. ”
Chu Qin nodded in affirmation: "What do you think?" ”
Seeing Qin Chu looking at him, An Lehou hurriedly stepped forward: "The minister thinks that Shi Shangshu is feasible with this method. ”
"What about the others? Do you have a different opinion? ”
The third prince looked at General Shan, a smug smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and there was undisguised provocation in his eyes.
The good general was stunned, but he was suffering from no legitimate reason to oppose Shi Kelang's proposal.
After the early dynasty, Tie Hongji returned to the household department with a heavy responsibility.
Qin Mufeng, who is the left waiter of the household department, gave full play to the quality of Gao Feng Liangjie, and asked other colleagues to choose their favorite area first, and finally "forced to choose" Xuzhou, which no one wanted to go to.
"Mu Feng, then I will wronged you to go to Xuzhou."
Qin Mufeng didn't feel guilty at all in the face of Tie Shangshu's apologetic look: "Lord Tie is serious, and he is not aggrieved by doing things for the saints. ”
Tie Shangshu: "It is worthy of being the first genius in the Liuying Kingdom, and you all follow this enlightenment." ”
Everyone: "Yes! ”
"You have a great responsibility to go here, and the collection of taxes must be reasonable and legal.
There is no need to show mercy to those who have the ability but deliberately default on their taxes. ”
"Of course, for those areas that have been severely affected, it is necessary to conduct a detailed investigation and verification, and make a clear record."
……
Xuzhou is located in the mountainous area of more than 300 kilometers south of Lijing, where the people are fierce, surrounded by mountains, and the so-called poor mountains and bad waters are nothing more than the people.
This is also the reason why the officials of the household department are all respectful of it, and no one is willing to come.
Yun Xisheng sat in the carriage without love and made the last struggle: "Qin Mufeng, you are the one with the mission, there is really no need to drag the family to bring me with you." ”
Qin Mufeng moved his hand and gently took off her fingers on the car door one by one.
"Qin Er, let's go."
"No, you're ...... Public is public, private is private. Let people know that you are not good for carrying private goods, which will affect your future. Yun Xi looked like I was for your good, and said sternly.
"It doesn't matter! It's a long way to go, and it's really not safe to let you alone in the Hou Mansion for your husband. ”
Just kidding, if it weren't for her, just send someone from Dark Dragon to investigate the small case in Xuzhou, would he be guilty of going around such a big circle and going over in person?
“…… No, why don't you let me say hello to the Yun family and Bai Chen before leaving? "As for being in such a hurry?
"Madame doesn't know, for her husband this time to go out on a tight schedule and heavy tasks, I don't dare to delay my work."
"But don't worry, what you just said, I have already told the housekeeper to do it before leaving."
Qin Mufeng has a clear mind, everything he says is reasonable, and his head is the way, so that people can't find a trace of mistakes.
Yun Xi didn't know why, he felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he couldn't think of words that could convince him for a while, so he followed him on the road with a grudge on his face.
It wasn't until a short time later that she saw the salutes and supplies hidden in the carriage and suddenly understood.
She pointed to what had just been turned out and looked him in the eye: "All of a sudden? Too late to prepare? Yes? "Huh! The dog man's words really couldn't be believed.
The smile on Qin Mufeng's face was stunned for a moment: careless!
“…… Do you believe if I say that these are all coincidences? ”
"I believe you're a ghost! You clearly premeditated. ”
"Well, I did mean it. You only gave me three months, and I don't want you to waste your time going back to the Yun family and meeting Bai Chen. "Is there something wrong?
Yun Xi suddenly couldn't get angry, this realization made her lose all her good mood in an instant, and she faintly began to worry about her somewhat wavering heart in her heart.
Qin Mufeng saw that her face was not very good-looking, and he panicked a little, and at the same time, he was more determined in his choice.
Thinking of what he overheard that day, he forced himself to pull himself together and made a bold decision.
"Actually...... I was there when you met Bai Chen yesterday. ”
Yun Xi frowned slightly: "You follow me?" No, we were in the "
When she said this, she suddenly remembered something, and suddenly looked at him with wide eyes and disbelief: "You are the one who eavesdropped on the roof?!" ”
"It's me."
The air fell into a deathly silence again, and Yun Xi looked at him with complicated eyes, recalling in his heart whether he had said anything wrong.
"Xi'er, is it true that you said that you treat him as a brother?"
