Chapter 609: If you don't have money, you will take a concubine

Because of the inaccessible relationship, the roads around Chengjin Mountain are usually not easy to walk, but now the temperature has risen sharply, the moisture on the ground has evaporated, and the land has become solid, which is convenient for Shen Qingqian and them to go up the mountain.

But this situation was limited to outside the mountain, and Shen Qingqian felt an inexplicable coolness as soon as he entered the mountain.

"It's really two worlds here, it's out there." She couldn't help but sigh.

Sheng Ze nodded, "I heard my master say that about six hundred years ago, the entire northern Hubei was a bitter cold land, and Chengjin Mountain was still a snow-capped mountain at that time. ”

"Six hundred years?" Shen Qingqian was surprised, this time is actually not too long.

From this point of view, doesn't it mean that the geographical environment of northern Hubei is still in an unstable stage? No wonder the weather is so weird.

But what Shen Qingqian didn't know was that the entire Great Jin Dynasty, and even the entire continent, had already shown signs of drought at this time.

In the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, another quarrel was being staged at this time over whether to prepare for disaster relief in advance.

"Now Jizhou, Chengzhou, Chongqing, Wanzhou and other places have quickly sent a request for instructions on the drought, if we don't plan early, who will be responsible for the turmoil at that time?"

"Lord Liu said it easily, what do you want us to do? There is no silver in the account of the household department for a long time, and it is already the result of the emperor's grace and mother's subsidy to be able to reluctantly send you a fortune to all adults! Come on, Lord Liu, what do you think you want to do? ”

"What's so hard about that? Follow Emperor Taizu's example of copying the homes of corrupt officials! What's the matter, Lord Zhang is afraid of finding out about yourself? ”

"Don't spew blood! I, Zhang Zhong, have done ...... right"

The two of them fought for each other, and Sheng Zhan sat on the dragon chair with an ugly look.

The court wants silver everywhere, but in the past few years, God has not rewarded food, the treasury is not abundant, and even because of the war with King Zhao last year, the treasury of the imperial court has directly run a deficit!

Sheng Zhan thought that he would have to pay out of his own pocket to pay the officials, and he was so aggrieved that he couldn't do it.

Because he had no money, he had to take one concubine after another to the palace, and these concubines, without exception, had little assets in the family.

Of course, Sheng Zhan himself did not admit that he would keep taking concubines because of lack of money.

But the officials with eyes in the court can see that after all, no one is a fool.

For example, last month, Sheng Zhan admitted the daughter of the Li family's side branch into the palace.

This side branch of the Li family is Li Hezhou's family, and he still has a thirteen-year-old sister who has not been married, but last month Sheng Zhan directly accepted people into the palace with a holy decree.

However, Li Hezhou has not received any news about this matter.

Just when there was a lot of quarrel in the court, a little eunuch hurriedly came to the back of the Jinluan Palace to find the chief eunuch.

"Master, Princess Min is clamoring for the emperor to let her out of the palace again, she said that if the emperor doesn't agree again, she will burn Yuliu Palace!"

The chief eunuch frowned, but thinking of the benefits that the princess brought to the emperor, he still walked quickly to Sheng Zhan's side and leaned into his ear to tell him the matter.

Sheng Zhan glanced at the few officials who were still arguing below, got up and said, "The weather is abnormal for less than half a month, this matter can be discussed later, and we will retreat." ”

After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left, leaving a group of ministers looking at each other.

A few people who were still noisy just now, as if they had suddenly lost their visitors, stopped their mouths suddenly.

A sober-minded official looked at Sheng Zhan's back and shook his head, sighing in his heart, how can such an emperor compare with King Zhao or His Royal Highness who is still rumored to be in northern Hubei?
