Chapter 426 Pay me back
Xiping four years, March

The emperor's policies of loving the people and being close to the people were gradually implemented in various places. Because of the establishment of the institution, it was named Jimin Mansion. The chief official, Bi Qianshi, was to direct the people. The civil envoy, Yang Biao, is the son of the old Sikong Yangci. He was the prefect before Sanhan. He performed outstandingly, worked hard and loved the people.

Therefore, the emperor ordered him to enter the temple and take over the Jimin Mansion. After he took office, he did not dare to relax in the slightest. First he established the Jimin Mansion in Luoyang, and then in various counties of the Han Dynasty, with counties as the layer, Make the prefects of the counties and prefectures responsible. After the establishment, they dispatched grain, grass and other materials from the national treasury to various places to help the people.

The local officials in various places were extremely busy, visiting and checking everywhere. From August of the third year of Xiping to March of the fourth year of Xiping, the Jimin Mansion had a basic overview, and the emperor was extremely concerned about this matter. In my heart, the governors and governors from all over the country are also strictly checking, and it is strictly forbidden to have evil things such as false claims and corruption, and the reputation of the emperor has also skyrocketed in an instant.

The emperor's deeds in the past few years, whether it was the Zhonglie Hall or the conquest of Goguryeo, did not win the hearts of the people like this. The people are grateful. With a respectful appearance, the emperor was extremely happy, and issued several policies again.

Luoyang, Sikong Mansion
In the middle of the night, Lu Zhi lit a candle and was reviewing the huge expenditures in the national treasury. The emperor's benevolent government is of course a good thing, and Lu Zhi will fully support it. However, since the emergence of the Jimin Mansion, the treasury accumulated for several years began to have With huge expenditures, Lu Zhi was in a hurry. He had experience in political and financial management in Hezhou, but he was a little helpless in the face of such huge financial expenditures.
The Son of Heaven has just lowered the tax, and he cannot raise it any further. In this way, what the Son of Heaven did before is useless. If the tax is not increased, he can only open up other sources of revenue. Now, the main source of revenue for the treasury is taxation. In addition, it still comes from the trade with Guishuang, the mining trade with the south, and the overseas trade with Japan.

Even if Lu Zhi wants to open up business routes again, he has no choice but to do so. The countries adjacent to the big man are now maintaining trade relations with the big man. What should we do?Lu Zhi fell into deep thought. During the court meeting that day, he didn't realize that the Jimin Mansion would put such a huge pressure on the national treasury. Relief for the people has existed since ancient times, and it took shape in the period of Xiaowen Xiaojing.

However, throughout the ancient times, there has never been such a large-scale benevolent government measure to help the people and raise the people. Lu Zhi very much agrees that the emperor can do this. The strength of such a benevolent government, the seemingly abundant treasury, does not want to be so fragile. In just a few months, the money accumulated in the treasury returned to the people again.

Lu Zhi sat on his knees for too long, his whole body was sore, and his eyes were a little blurred. He hadn't closed his eyes for four or five days because of the treasury's affairs. These days, he has been trying to solve the treasury's affairs. Lu Zhi is a capable Minister, but he is really at a loss about this aspect, he is a little hesitant, should he persuade His Majesty to cancel some policies?

However, he had sworn in the temple that the treasury had enough money, and he would figure out a way, but now he had to go back on his word, which made him really unacceptable. He sighed, looked at the hand-held watch on the copybook, Falling into deep thought, he was in a daze, but he still couldn't resist the continuous drowsiness, buried his head in his arms, and fell asleep.

Lu Zhi suddenly opened his eyes, and the surroundings were pitch black.

"Where are people? Hold the lamp! Hold the lamp!"

he growled.

No one paid attention to him, he narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand to grope, and yelled again, at this moment, a light appeared in the distance, walking slowly towards him, Lu Zhi was overjoyed, and walked towards the light So he walked over, but no matter how he walked, he couldn't get in front of the light. The light was always in the distance, flickering.

Lu Zhi's back felt cold, and he could hear his own violent heartbeat.

"Where is the monster, how dare you murder Sangong?!" Lu Zhi roared, he reached out and groped around his waist, but he couldn't find his sword. The lights in the distance went out. Before Lu Zhi could react, the lights turned on again. Appeared, but got closer to him, the lights went out again, and appeared again, Lu Zhi's hands and feet were cold, and he was trembling.

When the light appeared in front of him, he clearly saw a black figure, holding the light, exuding a chill, Lu Zhi was terrified, the black figure raised his head, pale face, eyes dripping with blood, "Oh my God!!" , Lu Zhi jumped up in fright, turned around and ran, and when he turned around and started walking, he found that the black shadow was right in front of him.

"Lu Zhi...thief...son, return...my...money...come~~~"

A hoarse voice came, and Lu Zhi was already limp, sitting on the ground. The black figure stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Zhi's neck. Lu Zhi's face turned red, and he looked at the black figure in front of him in horror. Looking at him intently, this time, Lu Zhi saw his appearance clearly. He was wearing the Sangong's court uniform, wearing the Jinxian crown, and his white hair
"Wenrengong????" Lu Zhi exclaimed.

"My savings of more than ten years have been ruined by you like this. You are such a fool, and you don't know that the treasury is empty, how can you be a Sangong!" Black Shadow said bitterly.

Lu Zhi trembled, and said, "Mr. Wen, the Son of Heaven is benevolent. I"

"Fool!" The black shadow roared, and the sharp voice floated around. For some reason, Lu Zhi was not as afraid as before. He plucked up his courage and asked solemnly: "The treasury is empty, and the officials don't care. Wen Rengong teach me!" Hei Ying let go of his hands, thought for a moment, and then said: "In the future, for foreign trade, you will order merchants not to barter for things, and not to use foreign coins. Copper coin"

"As long as the foreign coins can be banned with copper coins, the temple can take back the right to coin coins."

Lu Zhi listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time. Suddenly, a black shadow rushed towards him. Lu Zhi was startled and woke up shouting.

Lu Zhi opened his eyes, he was still in the study, and the memorials from yesterday were still placed on the case in front of him, the servants stood around in fear, they were the ones who woke him up, the steward asked with some doubts : "The Patriarch had a nightmare? We saw the Patriarch exclaiming incessantly, so I woke up." Lu Zhi remembered, he patted his forehead, and said helplessly: "Wen Rengong hasn't finished talking yet, what do you call me?" What am I doing up??"

"Wen Rengong???" The steward and servants were stunned. Wen Rengong passed away for nearly ten years!

Lu Zhi ignored him, hurriedly found a pen and ink, and began to write in a hurry, thinking while writing, looking at his appearance, the steward and the servants looked at each other, and then retreated. The owner of the house has been too busy recently. I'm a little delirious, so hurry up and prepare some food for the Patriarch.
However, when they finished the meal, Lu Zhi didn't eat. He left the mansion in a hurry with the memorial he had just written.

"Good, great good!"

The emperor looked at the memorial submitted by Lu Zhi, and said with a little surprise, he did not expect that Lu Zhi would have such attainments in finance. Looking at the various suggestions he put forward, the emperor felt that this fellow would soon catch up. Heroes of the Jianning period!The emperor looked at it for a while, raised his head, looked at Lu Zhi, laughed, and said, "Your Excellency!"

Lu Zhi's complexion was a little complicated, he frowned, thought for a long time, and said, "This is not a remonstrance from a minister, and it is not worthy of your majesty's praise."

The emperor was taken aback, and asked: "Oh? Is it not an admonition from the king? Who is the one who speaks up? I don't know such a great talent?"

Lu Zhi didn't answer, and his expression was still a little hesitant.

"It's fair to say."

"The one who speaks up is Wen Rengong."

The fat man was stunned. He was stunned for a long time before he asked with some uncertainty: "Wen Rengong? He"

"Don't dare to hide your majesty, I heard that the man entrusted the dream to the minister last night." Lu Zhi began to tell the story. After he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the emperor. The emperor nodded and said, "I see, you can step back." It's gone." Lu Zhi understood that the emperor didn't believe it, so he sighed and walked out with his body down.

The Son of Heaven watched him walk out of the palace, and shook his head helplessly. This fellow Lu Zhi obviously has great talent, but he dare not speak out, and he still wants to find a celebrity as an excuse. I really don't know what he wants to do, but, like this Well, with this reason, in the future, if the officials want to object, they will ask them to object to Wen Rengong. After the emperor finished speaking, he was suddenly startled, stretched out his hand again, and bowed to the surroundings.

After Lu Zhi left the palace, he walked towards Zhonglie Hall.

When they arrived at the gate of the sacrificial hall, they got off their chariots and horses. The soldiers guarding the gate saw Lu Zhi approaching and hurriedly reported, and officials greeted them. Accompanied by them, Lu Zhi walked into the Hall of Loyalty. As for Lu Zhi, these officials They didn't dare to relax, this guy might be able to enter here in the future, it's better not to offend such a minister.

Lu Zhi waved his hand to let them go out, and he looked at them one by one.

Walked to the forefront, looked at the stone tablet in front of him, and read the three big characters Wen Renxi. Lu Zhi hadn't spoken for a long time. He arched his hands cautiously, bowed to the stone tablet, and said in a low voice: "Your idiot, thank you Wen Ren The teachings of the public, from now on, will not make the sages restless."

He bowed three more times and slowly got up.

Under the sunlight, he seemed to see a flash of light on the stone tablet.
