Chapter 225
"Kou can go, so can I!" Ye Linxue murmured to herself, and then an inexplicable light suddenly flashed in her bright eyes.

The uncle probably drank too much, and his eyes were a little red.The body trembled slightly, and he directly picked up the jug and put it to his mouth, and poured it down.

Wen Ruyan might not understand how much impact this sentence had on the two of them, but he did have this idea in his heart.

This sentence is the words of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it is now borrowed here by Wen Ruyan.

In the history books of previous lives, there are mixed praises and criticisms for Liu Che's actions. Many historians are full of irony for his militaristic wars. The war that lasted for more than 40 years has caused tremendous pressure on the people and made them miserable. But there are also many historians. To praise his martial arts and martial arts, to stop wars with wars, and to refuse to make peace, is really to praise the mighty power of our great man.

Wen Ruyan didn't want to talk about his merits and demerits, but the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was different from that of the Great Han Dynasty at that time. The Xiongnu invaded every year, and the people on the frontier had no means of living. Every year, tens of thousands of soldiers died because of this.

How can my vast country allow the Xiongnu to act recklessly?A male lion will always be a male lion, what should a kitten do with its sharp claws?
Just slap him to death!

"What you said is very good. As a woman, I can't help but feel a little excited when I hear this sentence, but this can only be said. I don't have the ability to conquer the Huns in Dazhou, and neither will your majesty. I agree." It took a long time for Ye Linxue to calm down.

Wen Ruyan nodded. What Ye Linxue said was true. In war, the first thing to fight is financial resources. Financial resources are the foundation of manpower. You can't force conscripts to go to the north of the desert to fight, right?That will undoubtedly shake the foundation of the country and bring about its own destruction!

But now that the Ministry of Household Finance is tight, not to mention the expedition against the Huns, even sending troops to guard the northern border is somewhat powerless to resist foreign enemies.

Therefore, the only way to solve the current crisis first is to promote a whip method to fill the treasury and ensure that the people have no pressure to survive. Only at this time is the best time to go on an expedition against the Huns.

Seeing him nodding, a hint of surprise appeared on Ye Linxue's face. Her originally cold and indifferent temperament actually made various expressions in front of Wen Ruyan today.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Wen Ruyan chuckled, and said, "Why don't you understand? Your lord Ye is the servant of the household department, so you must have encountered many difficulties now, right?"

Ye Linxue's eyebrows twitched sharply, and said, "What do you mean?"

"You don't have to be so vigilant, let me tell you slowly. The Great Zhou Dynasty was established in Kyushu. On the surface, it looks peaceful, the weather is smooth, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but it is not the case. Apart from the capital Yanjing, there are also the Jinling and Yangzhou are two prosperous places, and the remaining six states are full of various problems. The gap between rich and poor is clear at a glance. Among them, Jingzhou and Yunzhou were the most serious. The local people lived on grass roots and bark. Unbelievable, how can we bear the corvee and taxes of our court? And those unscrupulous gentry and rich people cheated and tried every means to avoid paying taxes. In this way, the national treasury will be in short supply, which is inevitable!"

"The Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's money and food. If those gentry and rich men want to steal the sky, they must not get around the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Accounts. If you say that all the tricks in it have nothing to do with the officials of the Ministry of Households, would you believe it?"

Ye Linxue's expression was slightly cold, and she said in a somewhat unfriendly tone: "Of course my father won't collude with those officials!"

Wen Ruyan carefully looked into her eyes, saw that her expression was the same, and there was no timidity in looking at her, so she said with a smile: "I didn't say that Master Ye also participated in some of this. Tricky!"

"Then what exactly do you mean by that?"

"In a big dye vat, how can it be possible to be alone? Master Ye is only a servant of the third rank, and there is Master Shangshu above him. You say that everyone else has participated, but you don't participate, so what will others think of you? How could it be possible to accommodate you? That's why I said, Mr. Ye is also encountering many difficulties now!"

Ye Linxue was startled, she looked calm on the surface, but there was endless turmoil in her heart.

Regarding Ye Hongyuan's current situation, she is naturally clear. When Master Ye was worried, he used wine to drink away his sorrow several times. As a child, how could she not care about it? Ye Hongyuan had told her about these things.

But she didn't expect that Wen Ruyan would look at all this so carefully. Could it be that he is the son of some household official's family?

No, if that's the case, how could he say it so calmly? It's good to know this kind of thing well. Wouldn't it cause trouble for his father if he said it?With his ingenuity, how could he do such a thing?
But if he is not the son of an official of the household department, where did he know this?Could it be that he guessed it all?

If this is the case, then this person's intelligence is a bit too scary, right?
"Who are you?" Ye Linxue finally asked the biggest doubt in her heart.

Wen Ruyan smiled, but did not answer.

He has said so much tonight, and he is not afraid that Ye Linxue will guess his identity. Even if Ye Hongyuan heard what he said at the palace feast today, he may not tell Ye Linxue, because she must not want to hear about it at all. Mr. Ye will not make himself boring for anything about himself.

And even if she said it, it didn't matter, she might not be able to guess her identity, after all, she was well-known, and it was absolutely impossible for her to associate His Highness Prince Jing with Liu Ziqian.

And when she said so much to Ye Linxue, she naturally had another purpose. The whipping method was proposed by him. Tonight, the emperor has ordered him to go to Jingzhou to deal with some things. He is a mere dude prince, although others are afraid He, but it might not give him much face, if they reached an agreement behind the scenes, stumbling him, making him blind, it is not impossible.

So if you want to handle these things smoothly, then the post of land inspector must be taken by someone you can trust, and this person must be with you, so that you can handle the affairs with ease.

Today in the court hall, Ye Hongyuan, as the servant of the household department, was completely isolated by many officials of the household department in his seat, and Wen Ruyan naturally had a panoramic view.After returning to Beijing, Wen Ruyan also secretly sent someone to investigate Ye Hongyuan's affairs carefully, and he already had a conclusion in his heart. This Master Ye is probably not as tricky as participating in the country's land.

So tonight, he took this opportunity to test Ye Linxue himself, and Ye Linxue's final reaction was enough for him to affirm the conclusion in his heart!
And if this position is to be opened, it will inevitably cut off part of the rights of the Ministry of Accounting. How can the Ministry of Accounting agree?Therefore, they will definitely strive for the position of land inspector. As Ye Hongyuan is the servant of the household department, if he is promoted to inspector, even if the household department does not want to, it will be enough to shut their mouths.

Therefore, no matter from which point of view, Ye Hongyuan is the best candidate to be the land inspector!
