Xiao Xinrong and the two here were also chatting in the house, and Xiao Xinming said: "This incident is thanks to the second emperor brother, otherwise Shoucheng doesn't know how chaotic it will be." ”

"It's all my own brothers, what are you doing about this. Xiao Xinrong's expression was faint.

The two didn't know what to say for a while, Xiao Xinrong and Xiao Xinming were not close to each other when they were in the capital, only this time there was an accident, Xiao Xinrong hurried to help, and for a while the two of them were silent thinking about their own hearts.

Xiao Xinming was silent and said: "The imperial brother has governed the fief vigorously, which really makes the imperial brother admire, I don't know what the imperial brother plans to do next." ”

"It is my lifelong wish to let the people in my jurisdiction live and work in peace and contentment, and now I only want to pass on this wish, and it would be great if it could benefit more people. ”

Xiao Xinming sighed in his heart, if his father passed the throne to the second emperor's brother, the current situation in Yangping may be the face of the whole country, but unfortunately, in the end, Xiao Yingyi sat on the throne.

Xiao Yingyi has not made much contribution to his reign in recent years, but he has favored Chen and Tang, Chen Rui and Tang Juntong have controlled the government with one article and one martial arts, like a sharp blade in the hands of the new emperor, and many loyal and good people have fallen into their hands.

Although it did not get to the point of people complaining and angry, it also provoked everyone in the court to panic, but they could only dare to be angry and dare not speak, I heard that it was several uncles in the royal family who came forward and put pressure on the empress dowager together, which made them stop.

"After this disaster, the matter of relocating the victims will have to worry the imperial brother, if he can, the imperial brother can bring these victims back to Yangping. Xiao Xinming said coldly.

"If they are all gone, you know that many places in your fiefdom will be empty, and the economy will definitely regress in the long run, and at that time, third brother, it will be too late for you to remedy it. Xiao Xinrong said with a frown.

Great Xia is a big country, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, medical skills are not developed, all kinds of diseases are raging, it is not easy for a baby to grow up safely after birth, if that place is densely populated, it will naturally bring infinite benefits.

"I know all of this. Xiao Xinming rested for a moment and continued: "I came here, these people are my people, I want them to live and work in peace and contentment, but now my body is not as good as day by day. Xiao Xinming raised his hand and shook it, and the words on Xiao Xinrong's lips swallowed again.

He continued: "Now only the imperial brother can let them live a good life, and I am relieved that they go to the imperial brother. ”

Speaking of which, Xiao Xinrong didn't shirk, nodded and said, "Brother Huang promised you." ”

Xiao Xinming said with a smile on his pale face: "Brother Huang, tell me about the situation outside." ”

"There are four main places affected this time. Xiao Xinrong asked people to take the map and pointed with his hand and continued, "The food brought by the frost this time has solved the urgent need at the moment, but it is not a way to go on for a long time, I want to let these people share a point, some strong men with the ability to work, digging wells to find water, have prepared for the next year." ”

"I will divide these refugees into two groups, if there are people who want to go to Yangping, the government will give them customs clearance books, and let them go to Yangping to find a way to live. ”

"If they want to stay, we will help them rebuild their homes, and the government will provide them with seeds and distribute grain, but the government will temporarily lend them the grain, and we will see the harvest slowly return in the coming year. Xiao Xinrong is confident, and this time he will definitely be able to overcome natural disasters.

"It seems that the imperial brother already has a plan, and he doesn't need the imperial brother anymore, so the imperial brother is here to thank the imperial brother on behalf of the people!" Xiao Xinming held a glass of water and wine in his hand.

Xiahou Shuang took the guards of the palace to distribute food in person, and quickly pacified the victims, these hungry victims are now regarded as gods to Xiao Xinrong and his wife, and even to the point of worship, many places were spontaneously put on the immortal ranking of the two by the people, praying day and night.

The court has been waiting for the news of the setback of Xiao Xinrong and his wife, but who knows that he frequently receives good news, and Emperor Jingyuan urgently summoned Chen Rui to discuss.

"Chen Aiqing let's talk about it. Seeing that Xiao Xinrong had solved the problem of Shoucheng, and the voice of the people had risen to a higher level, Emperor Jingyuan was impatient.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter is not over yet, and it is not necessarily who wins or loses before the last moment. Chen Rui said.

"What do you mean by this, Uncle Erhuang sprinkled a lot of silver, and the grain was transported to Shoucheng in batches, and those victims had already been subdued by him, and you still told me not to worry!" Emperor Jingyuan was angry and threw the fold in his hand directly towards Chen Rui, Chen Rui did not dodge or dodge, and the fold just smashed on his forehead, red and swollen.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Chen Rui fell to his knees.

"What do I want you for!" Emperor Jing Yuan's anger was not finished.

"Your Majesty, please listen to the minister. Chen Rui said unhurriedly: "The minister proposes to weaken the rights in the hands of the princes of all parties. ”

"You mean ......"

"Your Majesty, now that the imperial court has given you too much power, allowing them to raise private soldiers, and letting the local income go into their own pockets, so Wei Chen proposes to reduce the rights in their hands!"

"What kind of reduction method? Chen Aiqing, you come and hear it. Emperor Jing Yuan asked with an interesting expression.

This proposal has been planned in Chen Rui's heart for a long time, but he is just waiting for a suitable opportunity to get out of it, and now this opportunity has come.

"Weichen suggested that the princes should pay a tribute of 500,000 taels of silver to the court every year, and the private soldiers in their hands should not exceed 5,000 people. ”

"Chen Aiqing, Chen Aiqing, let me tell you what's good. Emperor Jing Yuan had an imperceptible smile on his face, and this proposal must have been completely addressed to his heart.

"Have you been thinking about this idea for a long time?

Chen Rui kowtowed and said: "The minister does not dare to deceive Your Majesty, as early as the day when Prince Alcohol did not give face to the court and went to Shoucheng for disaster relief, Weichen thought about how to kill Prince Alcohol's spirit, and really let the minister think of it, Weichen's words are heartfelt words, and I hope Your Majesty will know it!"

"Get up, I remember that you are loyal, you can't deceive me like this in the future!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Chen Rui was happy in his heart, Your Majesty listened to his proposal in his heart, and snorted coldly in his heart, Xiahou Shuang, even if you marry the prince and go away, it's not that you can't escape from the palm of my hand!
