Purple Pole City, Shenghe Palace.

After six days of preparation, the meeting was finally held smoothly.

At this time, the main officials of the three pavilions, six departments and nine temples gathered together, sitting opposite each other, and the empress sat on the dragon chair, looking through the accounts in front of her while listening to the report of Wu Yue below.

"Your Majesty, last year's imperial court revenue totaled 120 trillion stones of rice and 20 million stones of wheat...... In addition, in terms of expenditure, the total expenditure of the imperial court was equivalent to 24 million taels of silver, of which more than 2 million taels were spent by the Ministry of Officials, more than 6 million taels by the Ministry of War, and more than 700,000 ......taels by the Criminal Department.

Wu Yue held the pre-prepared recital, and his eyebrows fluttered.

An old face was full of excitement.

You must know that when he first took office as the head of the household department last year, the whole household department was in a mess, and there were almost no accounts that were not deficits, and the hole that the Empress Dowager Zhao had made in power for six years was simply shocking, and then although Gu Simiao turned the tide, recovered countless accounts, and barely filled this hole, but Daxia's finances were still on the verge of collapse.

And now, in just one year, the imperial court has not only wiped out all the financial deficits, but also surplus nearly nine million taels of silver if all of them are converted into silver dollars.

Even in the prosperous life of the first emperor, the imperial court has not been so generous!

Although it shows that everyone can see that Daxia can completely change the financial situation within a year, Lu Chen, the secretary of the Tiangong Department and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is the biggest contributor, and it is the new policies he presided over and implemented, such as the patent law, the improvement of the status of the way of things, and the drastic changes to the Ministry of Industry, that have created the current situation.

But he is not doing nothing, after tasting the sweetness of the cement research and development project, he is out of control to focus on the Tiangong Division, as long as it is a new project of the Tiangong Division, as long as there is an opportunity to participate, he will show a strong courage, force against public opinion, crazy money.

Under the leadership of Lu Chen, the Tiangong Division continued to develop various techniques, such as high-yield rice, postpartum care of livestock, gelding to improve the meat yield and other highly practical techniques and theories, which brought a lot of wealth to the imperial court and directly and indirectly achieved the household department.

Listening to Wu Yue keep talking about the achievements of the imperial court last year, everyone had mixed reactions.

Lu Chen, as a scholar, ranked first on one side, and sat opposite Yan Song, with an indifferent look on his face, as if everything Wu Yue told had nothing to do with him.

Yan Song's face was expressionless, as always, he couldn't see his joy and anger, and he hid all his thoughts under the extremely deep city government.

Xiao Yun had a faint smile on her beautiful face, especially when Wu Yue mentioned Lu Chen, her charming and moving eyes quietly curved a little, but she was the most serious one among the three giants of the court today.

Others, such as Liu Dongyang, Fang Pingzhi and the like, stroked their long beards from time to time, looking very relaxed, but Qian Yiqian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Zhao Bingliang, the secretary of Dali Temple, and others had tense faces, meticulous, and looked a little dull.

"In terms of tax revenue, compared with the previous year, almost all of them have increased to varying degrees, except for Gyeonggi, among which Suizhou, Yuzhou, Jingxiang Province, and Huangzhou are the most ......."

Speaking of this, Wu Yue suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Chen, who looked indifferent on the side, and then said with emotion:

"Lord Lu is really a peerless national warrior, Wang Zuozhicai, the acting county order of Sui and Yu was originally just a martial artist, but he followed Lord Lu for a month, but he was able to take care of the counties of the two states in an orderly manner, so that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the bandits competed for goodness, in just one year, the tax revenue of the two states increased nearly thirty times, comparable to the total tax revenue of a province, it is unimaginable that such a great achievement came from the hands of a martial artist who does not know the scriptures."

After a pause, admiration gradually appeared on his face.

"Just a registered disciple is so good, you can imagine how amazing and brilliant Lord Lu is."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Nima, he asked Fang Yu and others to be the acting county magistrate, let them do it, and support them in the court, to a large extent, he just wanted to get more black pots from them, so that he could be degraded or something through joint and several liability, but he didn't expect these birdmen to be fiercer than one another.

Tax revenue multiplied dozens of times?

Is this something that can be done by people?

He just gave a stage...

Give them a little sunshine and they'll be flooded, right?

Said that a good warrior has no political ability?

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a faint pain behind him.

And hearing Wu Yue praise Lu Chen like this, a strange color finally appeared in Jiang Chengwan's eyes, no longer as boring as before, looking at Wu Yue's gaze, it was also much more pleasing to the eye.

Then she looked away and looked at Lu Chen.

"Wu Aiqing is right, if it weren't for Lu Qing, even if Sui and Yu Prefectures were not completely rotten, they would not have such a good situation now, Lu Qing has made great contributions to the dynasty, I have to think carefully about how to reward you......"

When Lu Chen heard this, he couldn't help but feel a shock.

Reward?

Gan! This girl wants to add an official to Lao Tzu again?

Nima, Lao Tzu is already a second-grade Shangshu, do you still want to add a young master title to Lao Tzu?

Thinking of this, he instantly came back to his senses, and then hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty has won the award, Wechen just did what he should have done, the two states can have today's achievements, all of which are the credit of Fang Yu and others, Wechen broke the routine and ordered them to go to the counties to take office, but there is really no one to use, the helpless move of a dead horse to be a live horse doctor is not what Wu Shangshu said, and Wechen didn't teach them anything."

"They can have such achievements, it's all their own ability, or they are extremely good, Weichen just pushed them, how dare they be greedy? If Your Majesty wants to reward them, you only need to reward Fang Yu and them, and Weichen really deserves it. ”

As usual, as long as it involved promotion, Lu Chen did everything possible to shirk his resignation, putting all the credit on Fang Yu and them, never mentioning that he had been under countless pressures at the beginning, pushing them to the position of acting county commander, escorting them with his holy family and power, and unconditionally supporting all their measures.

If he hadn't blocked out all doubts and accusations, and threatened that no matter what the problem was, he would bear all the consequences and responsibilities, how could Fang Yu and others, who were born in Xuanjiwei, have the opportunity to let go and have such outstanding political achievements in just one year?

Seeing that Lu Chen looked like he was going to draw a clear line with Sui and Yu, for fear of robbing Fang Yu and others of the credit, Jiang Chengwan and Fu Huan's expressions became more and more moved.

In my mind, I remembered the scene of Lu Chen standing on the platform for Fang Yu and others in front of hundreds of civil and military officials in the court a year ago.

At that time, he was so resolute, how undoubted, and how courageous.

Is there anyone in this world who is more worthy of following?

After Lu Chen finished speaking, Jiang Chengwan couldn't help but sigh faintly.

"When something happens, you can't wait to stand up, but when you have an achievement, you desperately push it out, the responsibility is yours, but the credit is someone else's, Lu Qing, what do you want me to say about you?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen's face suddenly froze.

, Lao Tzu has brushed this girl's favorability again?
