I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 179 Why do you want to promote education so much?
"Your Majesty, did I not make it clear just now, or does Your Majesty not understand?"

Seeing Liu Long's gloomy expression instantly, Deng Sui couldn't help showing a smile.

In that smile, Liu Long always felt that she was mocking him.

"Look, it's been said that you can't handle this kind of thing. If you don't believe it, you must believe it!"

Although there is no evidence, Liu Long always feels that the empress dowager in front of him means this.

But fortunately, Deng Sui also knows that since we have reached this point today, it is not good for the two parties to fall out again.

When Liu Long was about to turn his back on him, Deng Sui stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Long aside, and then sat down slowly.

"Don't stand up and say it, it may take a lot of time to talk about this matter.

You are so lazy, you can't stand like this! "

Deng Sui smiled and made Liu Long's face even more ugly, and before Liu Long broke out, Deng Sui finally started to talk about business.

She first brought the memorial that she had prepared a few minutes ago in front of Liu Long, and then let him look at it while she told Liu Long about the current situation.

"I have indeed done a lot of things in these years and helped many victims of disasters, but it does not mean that the world has completely stabilized in these years.

Although these years have not been as crazy as when the first emperor just passed away, there will be natural disasters that affect most of the big men every now and then.

But in the past ten years, this natural disaster has also come and gone, as if it will not stop.

And every natural disaster will cause huge problems in one or even several counties.

There are quite a few courtiers in the court, and there are also many available people that I have selected over the years. They are also running around for me, for your majesty, and for the great man.

These are all true.

But even so, it cannot change the suffering in the world today.

The natural disasters are endless, resulting in an endless stream of victims. No matter how I help, I can't make all the victims understand this feeling. "

At this time, Liu Long looked at the letter and memorial in his hand, and finally nodded with a bit of wry smile.

"To be honest, it is not easy for my mother to be able to help the victims of the disaster all these years.

It's just that the queen mother thinks how much of the relief food and grass fell into the hands of the victims? "

". Less than one in ten, or even less than one in a hundred, or none at all?" Deng Sui also sneered helplessly at this time.

She heard what Liu Long said, but how could she not know this situation?

But even if you know this, what can you do?
She can't change, can't change
"When the natural disasters just started, I also thought that I must live well to help the victims, and even in order to help the victims, I did not hesitate to save myself.

He did not hesitate to make the entire palace almost stagnate.

But even so, the disaster victims in this world are still unstoppable!

There are continuous natural disasters, but the intensity is decreasing year by year, but the number of victims is increasing.

I was also puzzled at the beginning, until Cai Lun found me.

You told me a word, does Your Majesty know what it is? "

".I don't know!" Liu Long's face was a bit ugly, but this time, it wasn't because of Deng Sui, "But no matter what he said, it didn't sound good."

"Your Majesty is right, that sentence is indeed ugly.

But I feel that although these words are ugly, they are wise words.

Cai Lun said that in this damn world, there is actually no need to provide disaster relief.

When the first emperor was there, there were also natural disasters, but His Majesty would rather exempt the people from part of the tax than give any money and food for disaster relief.

Because the first emperor knew that even if it was given, it would be useless, and the money and food would never reach the hands of the common people.
Your Majesty. This is also the truth that I have only come to understand in the past two years.

In this damn world, can things like money go to the victims of disasters?

Of course not, of course not.

If all the money and food for disaster relief were given to the people and the victims, what would the scholar-bureaucrats in the court eat?

What do the powerful gentry in this place eat?

Moreover, if the imperial court really started to help the victims, it would be considered that this year's life will be better, and the wealthy families in that place will probably want to make some noise.

I only hope that the imperial court can distribute more relief money and food to the local area, and can exempt more taxes.

As the saying goes, the big man is in trouble, but they are full.

And if there is a disaster, they will not even report it to the imperial court immediately, because they need time to profit from it.

They knew that those people were not completely desperate, and still had land, money, houses, and even children and wives in their hands.

These people still want to seek huge benefits from it.

How could you tell me the news immediately?

Only after they have nothing to look at in the end, and the disaster is completely serious or even corrupted, will they tell the imperial court to ask me to clean up the mess for them
Your Majesty, do you understand this situation and this feeling? "

"."

Liu Long looked at Deng Sui in front of him, and at Deng Sui whose gray hair had obviously started to appear in front of him, he was a little speechless at this moment.

He knew that his life in the past six months was not very good, and he could even say it badly!
But what he didn't expect was that Deng Sui in the palace, Deng Sui who had never left the capital for half a step during this dynasty, is now living a life that is not at all better than him. No, it is not at all bad!
These troublesome things, even now, after Liu Long heard about them, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know what to do with the current situation.

He can't kill all the powerful families, and he can't do it either!
He can't do things like annoy the table, and he doesn't dare to do it.

why?
To put it simply, isn't he the most powerful person in the world who can't overturn the table?

Specifically why, Deng Sui understood it back then, and now Liu Long also understands it.

And the consequences of not getting bored with the table are also very serious. Faced with this kind of thing within the rules, Liu Long didn't know how to get rid of the disadvantages, so he could only look at Deng Sui in front of him.

"So, the queen mother's idea is to eradicate this matter directly from the root?"

"Yes, solve this matter from the root cause!" At this time, Deng Sui immediately became serious, and even his expression became very firm.

"What I really want to do is to cut off the roots of those aristocratic families, so that there will be a group of forces in this world that can replace them!

And in my opinion, this is the hope of the big man! "
