Chapter 90: The Fire Dragon Burns the Warehouse
Qian Lingxue and Su Yuntao walked on the streets full of fireworks in the world, tasting snacks together and giving each other small gifts, and both of them felt an unprecedented peace and warmth.
As the sun set, the last rays of sunset shone on Heaven Dou City, making this magnificent city even more dazzling.
Qian Lingxue looked at the sky, holding a cheap mirror given by Su Yuntao, and said with some reluctance: "Yuntao is getting late, and Qinghe still has a lot of government affairs to deal with, so he can only be lost first." ”
"Government affairs?" Su Yuntao was puzzled: "Qinghe, what kind of government affairs can we have just after the New Year these days?" ”
Qian Lingxue sighed and said: "Yuntao, last year the empire suffered drought and locust plague one after another, and this winter there were snow disasters in many places, although the New Year has just passed, many people have been displaced, starved to death and froze to death. Tonight, my father convened a court meeting to try to resolve these issues. ”
Su Yuntao frowned and said, "I see, I don't know if Qinghe can take me to this meeting." ”
"Yes, yes, it's just that this meeting is all about government affairs, and Yuntao's strengths are terrifying."
"Government affairs?" Su Yuntao smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Qinghe doesn't know anything, I also have a lot of insights into government affairs on weekdays. ”
Su Yuntao is really not interested in government affairs, but now that the road is frozen to death, he still has to do something.
Qian Lingxue shook her head slightly, she didn't believe that Su Yuntao, a person who had made great achievements in cultivation, food, and philosophy, still had the energy to study government affairs, and even if Su Yuntao had time to study, he couldn't understand how complicated government affairs were without a day of administrative experience.
"Since Yuntao has this intention, then we will go back to the palace now."
Looking at Qian Lingxue's expression of disbelief, Su Yuntao smiled, with his knowledge in another time and space, it was enough to form a dimensionality reduction blow in the feudal slave era of Douluo Continent.
Inside the Heaven Dou Palace
Qian Ling Xue and Su Yuntao each sorted out their outfits in the East Palace, and Su Yuntao's appearance under the backdrop of a luxurious dress was directly full, and Qian Ling Xue was slightly distracted.
The two of them strode into the conference center without humility or arrogance, looking at Su Yuntao who came side by side with the prince "Xue Qinghe", and the faces of several old men changed slightly.
"See the Prince!" Several old men knelt on the ground
"A few seniors, please! It's a break in the Qinghe. ”
Several old men got up, and Qian Ling Xue introduced Su Yuntao to these important ministers of the Heaven Dou Empire one by one, and they were all Qian Ling Xue's cronies.
The prime minister in the Heaven Dou Empire, as well as five of the six ministers, have become Qianrenxue's cronies, and it is no wonder that Xueye will release military power to Prince Xuexing, with Qianrenxue's current prestige and power, if there is no Prince Xuexing to check and balance, then Xueye is afraid that he will not even dare to sleep.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I don't know if this is ......," Prime Minister Tiandou said.
"Prime Minister, this is Su Yuntao, a year-old friend under Dugu's crown, haven't you looked at him before?"
"Oh?" The prime minister pretended to suddenly realize: "It turned out to be the famous Tiandou Su Yuntao Su Xiaoyou, I heard that Su Xiaoyou is extraordinary and powerful, but what is the reason why Xiaoyou is here?" ”
Su Yuntao smiled, "Prime Minister, now that the civilians of the empire are displaced and cannibalism, Yuntao just doesn't want to see so many people die, so he just wants to come here to do his meager help." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Qian Lingxue smiled and waved her hand to show her decision, and the prime minister sighed and did not say anything more.
After a while, Prince Xuexing also came to the conference center with the fourth prince Avalanche, looking at Su Yuntao beside Qianyue, Prince Xuexing's face changed instantly, and Avalanche had an imperceptible smile flashing at the corner of his mouth.
Soon, the Snowy Night Emperor, dressed in a golden dragon robe, entered the conference center with a golden scepter symbolizing imperial power.
"Long live my emperor, long live it!" Everyone knelt on the ground, and only Su Yuntao bowed slightly.
Su Yuntao was originally an outsider, and he refused to bow down, and the face of the Snow Night Emperor turned black in an instant, but considering the Dugu Bo behind Su Yuntao, the word presumptuous was held back from his mouth alive.
Looking at the discolored Snow Night Emperor, the corners of Avalanche's mouth rose slightly, and the prime minister had to shake his head slightly when he glanced at Qianrenxue, whose face did not change.
"Your Majesty!" After saluting, the Minister of Justice hurriedly said: "Recently, the burning and stealing in the empire has become more and more frequent, but I am afraid that the number of chaotic people is increasing, and if we do not take measures, I am afraid that it will easily cause a large-scale civil uprising!" ”
When the Minister of Justice opened a delegation, the Prime Minister, who was the main force, naturally had to follow.
"Your Majesty, last year I had a bad year, first the drought in the summer, then the locust plague in the autumn, and the snowstorm this winter swept the entire northern part of the empire, if you don't give relief to the victims, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable!"
The Snowy Night Emperor nodded solemnly, "Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much remains in my Heaven Dou Treasury. ”
"Your Majesty!" The Chancellor of the Exchequer smiled bitterly: "Now there are less than three million gold soul coins left. ”
"What!" The Snowy Night Emperor was shocked and said, "How is this possible! How can I only have such a small amount of funds in the treasury of the Great Heavens and Earth Museum! ”
The Minister of Finance plucked up the courage and said: "Your Majesty, the main reason is that last year, on the occasion of His Majesty's 60th birthday, the palace was renovated and a birthday banquet was held, and the cost was slightly larger. ”
The Snow Night Emperor's eyes froze, and the finance minister's eyelids jumped, "Everyone, Aiqing, the empire is in crisis now, and the treasury happens to be empty, I don't know what you think." ”
"Your Majesty!" Prince Xuexing said: "I am a big country with abundant products, and on weekdays, there is a large amount of grain in Yicang, since the treasury is empty, then let the local officials open the liquidation, and Yicang will relieve the victims." ”
Su Yuntao coughed twice when he heard this, with the urine sex of the Tiandou officials, these warehouses are afraid that rats will have to cry if they enter.
"Uncle Huang doesn't know." Qian Lingxue said in a deep voice: "I have already invited Your Majesty before the New Year, but the New Year has passed, and the number of victims in various places is increasing!" ”
"How is that possible?" Prince Xuexing was surprised: "The local grain reserves can last for ten years, how can there be more and more victims." ”
"Uncle Huang, there have been accidents in the liquidation and Yicang in various places, some places have fire dragons burning warehouses, some places have Yin soldiers borrowing grain, and some places are missing."
"When I inspected last fall, I found that 1.5 million sets of winter clothes in the military warehouse were missing, and it was an urgent use of the funds in the imperial treasury that allowed the soldiers to survive this winter."
"Originally, I thought it was just an isolated phenomenon, but I thought it was the case everywhere."
"What!" Prince Xuexing, who had been familiar with military affairs for a long time, was shocked, "The total strength of my Tiandou is only one and a half million, how can I lose so many winter clothes!" ”
