Chapter 242

At noon the next day, I heard that another talent was sealed in the harem.

Su Nancheng chuckled, too lazy to talk much.

Talent, not too high.It's just that the emperor left so many people and gave them the title of talent from the beginning, so those positions in the harem were not enough.

Start with talented people, how will you give them later?
But thinking about how Concubine Yu has become Concubine Yu in just a few years, there is nothing to say.

While the emperor was indulging in female sex, he also remembered his great ambition of "saving the country".Cheng Kanghou was called into the palace.Officially put forward the two matters of officials donating money and returning land.

Cheng Kanghou laughed angrily, but after all he has been an official all his life, his facial expressions can still be controlled.

"Where does Your Majesty plan to start?" Cheng Kanghou asked politely.

"Please sir give me some pointers. I have so many clues, and I don't know where to start." The emperor was polite.

Cheng Kanghou then nodded: "Let's talk about the donation first. Your Majesty, are you appointing hundreds of civil and military officials? Or are all officials from the whole world together? Does the clan count? What about those with titles?"

The sincerity of his question, Emperor An thought for a while and said: "How many royal family members are there now, so naturally there is no need. Of course, Mr. is my benefactor, and Chiyu is my good minister who supports each other all the way, so naturally there is no need to say .”

Cheng Kanghou frowned at this time: "Your Majesty is so inappropriate. Not to mention that the minister's family has been greatly loved by His Majesty. Now everyone envies him, so naturally he has to be a pawn for His Majesty. Just say that the clan, several palaces, and princess palaces are all doing well. Yes. If they really don’t want to donate money, then don’t they also want to quit the land? In this way, how can all the officials be convinced?”

"It's only been a few years since we've settled down now. Once we're in a hurry, accidents are inevitable. The people of Beiyi are stable now, and they're just waiting for us to make trouble."

"Although what Mr. said is true, it's worth the money. Now that the national treasury is empty, they should share the country's worries." Andi frowned lightly.

"What your Majesty said is that there are so many officials in the world, and not everyone has money. If you don't make a good rule about donating money, it will inevitably be implemented in a bad way. What's more, since it is a donation, then It should be voluntary. I'm afraid that this matter will go down layer by layer, and those low-level officials will really suffer." Cheng Kanghou sighed.

"Your Majesty's instruction is also requested, and I will also discuss it with the other adults." Cheng Kanghou bent down and said.

"Don't don't, don't worry about it." Emperor An hurriedly waved his hands: "If we discuss it at this time, we will have to talk about me again. In the past few months, I have really had enough."

In the past few months, because of his affairs in the harem, the veterans have really read enough.

Cheng Kanghou said in his heart that you are an unworthy product.

Of course he would not agree with such absurd policy, but how bad would it be to tell the emperor directly that he couldn't do it?

Let's just say, let the emperor himself know that it's not easy?

The emperor didn't give up. He got a sum of money easily when he was in Luancheng, which was faster than anything else.

Now if you can knock down all the big and small officials, will you still be so poor?
At the beginning, a mere Luan City could have such huge profits, but now it is the whole world.A little bit from each official is enough.

There's no need to be as ruthless as in Luancheng.

Cheng Kanghou also noticed that any retreat was an excuse.It is nothing more than forcing officials and rich people to pay.

In his heart, the emperor didn't care about those who would not retreat.

How the common people live is out of his consideration.What he wants are taxes.

Cheng Kanghou himself is not an honest official, but looking at such an emperor, he still feels cold from the bone marrow.

After Cheng Kanghou left, the emperor entered the harem with a heavy heart.

Just when he entered the harem area, he was invited away by his virtuous concubine.

This virtuous concubine was the side concubine of his original mansion, and she hid in the East Palace that day and nothing happened.

After Empress Han passed away, Concubine Xian was the person with the highest status and also gave birth to a prince.

She can be regarded as a concubine who can be trusted by the current emperor and give some face.

In Yuxiu Palace, the virtuous concubine came to salute in lotus steps, seeing that the emperor seemed to be in a bad mood, and served her more earnestly.

But after a while, the emperor's inner thoughts came out.

"What's so difficult about this? The concubine's father is willing to be the first person to donate money. However, the concubine's natal family doesn't have much land, and they don't have much land, so they can't give up the land." Concubine Xian said.

Concubine Xian's father, Mr. Sun, is now the prefect of the local area, and he is the prefect of Huaixiang City.

He didn't rely entirely on his daughter. He did well when he was an official. Later, after the emperor ascended the throne, he was promoted and became the prefect.

"Nostalgia is not a good place, but I heard from my father that it has been rare for the past few years. If your majesty wants to, I will let my father be No. 1. If the opening is good at the beginning, don't you worry about the follow-up? ?” Concubine Xian laughed.

"Oh? Aifei's father can do it?" Andi instantly became happy.

Needless to say how short of money the treasury is now, what a great opportunity.

"My concubine can guarantee it! My father often said that he received a great favor from the heavenly family, but he didn't know how to repay it. Now that he has the opportunity, how can he not repay it? Your majesty can just give father a secret decree, and the concubine will write another letter and keep it in good condition." Yes." Concubine Sun Xian was full of confidence.

She also knows her father's ability, and it is impossible to do this well.

I hate that Your Majesty appointed a girl from the Tang family to be the queen, otherwise she would have to go back.

Now that she is a virtuous concubine, if this happens, the emperor will reward her no matter what.Just change yourself into a concubine.

As for my own children, there will always be opportunities in the future.

"Okay, I'll pass the decree to Sun Qing, but my concubine will write a letter. As long as this matter is done well, I will never forget your father's contribution. Your contribution is also very great." Emperor An laughed loudly.

This matter cannot be hidden from others, but the emperor's personal eunuch.

Eunuch Xie spread the matter to Su Nancheng, and Su Nancheng laughed angrily.

Go down and see Cheng Kanghou now.

Cheng Kanghou holds several positions, but usually he spends most of his time in the household department, and there are more things here.

Su Nancheng came to look for him, and he was right.

When the officials of the household department met Su Nancheng, they all greeted Su Nancheng politely and friendlyly. Now, no one knows that the three generations of the Su family are all loyal courtiers of His Majesty.

But I can't afford to be offended, this young seventh son of the Su family has already become the commander of the city defense battalion of the third rank right after his weak crown, and his future is limitless.

Su Nancheng was also polite and did not intend to put on airs at all. After exchanging pleasantries with the officials of the household department for a while, he was invited to speak in the main hall.

After some people served tea, when all the other people went out, there were only two grandparents and grandchildren left in the room.

Su Nancheng told Cheng Kanghou the news he heard from the palace, but Cheng Kanghou didn't ask Su Nancheng where he knew about it.

Just laughed: "I haven't told you yet, but you told me first."
