After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 228 Once and for all

The next day at court, the Ministry of Revenue came up with a decision.

"Your Majesty, I have discovered that there are river workers in the affected areas. We can let them repair the houses for their wages, and the people will not be delayed in spring planting."

Rong Peilan frowned, "Is this the Ministry of Revenue's countermeasure? Kick the ball to the river?"

Lord Yan was stunned for a moment.

He was promoted from the position of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. In previous years, the decisions made by the Ministry of Revenue were all about solving problems.

It’s not like now, the disaster has passed, but we still have to worry about repairing the house!

But since the higher-ups had made the request, they could only follow it, even though he thought it was just looking for trouble...

Rong Peilan thought of the young official yesterday.

"Master Fan, do you have any opinion?"

Fan Pei, who was at the end of the team, stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan, but it was rejected by the Minister of Revenue yesterday."

Lord Yan bent his body, listened to the sound behind him, and frowned slightly.

"My Lady, Lord Fan's method is inappropriate. If someone takes the money but doesn't do the job, it will be more trouble than gain."

Rong Peilan became interested. "Oh? What's the method? Tell me about it."

Lord Yan, "Your Majesty is now on a warpath, and food is the most important war fund. Lord Fan proposed to pay the people a portion of the food money in advance, which can not only tide over the difficulties, but also solve the problem of spring planting and autumn harvest."

"Master Fan's method is very good. It solves three problems in one go. However, the biggest problem with this method is the lack of long-term supervision. Moreover, no one can guarantee whether the harvest will be good or not."

Rong Peilan, "This can only be considered as strategy one, is there a second strategy?"

Now there was complete silence in the court.

Rong Peilan said, "Master Fan's method is very good."

"But something is missing, so Lord Yan's concerns are not unreasonable."

"We need to sign a contract with the people and buy the autumn harvest at a price. We will take as much as we can."

"Just like what Lord Yan said, in order to prevent people from taking the money without doing the work, if the grain is not paid on time, the deposit must be paid double or forced labor."

"Let Lord Fan handle this matter."

Fan Pei saluted and said, "Yes, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

“Subsequent supervision, whether it’s at the county or state level, must be included in the performance report.”

Rong Peilan paused for a moment, "This matter is not only a matter for the local government, but also a matter for the Ministry of Revenue. If the matters below are not handled well, your Majesty and I don't have such long arms, but it is still very convenient to catch a few people in the Ministry of Revenue."

"Yes……"

Lord Yan choked. Not only could he not escape, but he was also burdened with such a huge mess.

It is spring plowing season now, and Curry has spent his money. If the autumn harvest is not satisfactory, he will be blamed.

I thought promotion was a good thing, but now the superiors are overwhelmed and the Prime Minister is gone. Facing the wrath from above, it is not easy to be a Shangshu either.

-

When the summer solstice came, good news came that another city was captured.

So far, two of the three lost cities have been recovered.

The flags of the Great Sheng Dynasty were flying over the continuous camps.

Ji Yunzhang, with his face full of stubble, looked at the soldiers training in the open field.

This is his second time coming to this camp.

The first time I came here was during the invasion of the Western Jin Dynasty.

In a short period of time, four cities were captured.

This time, he wants to solve it once and for all.

"Your Majesty." Qin Anjiang walked over with a carrier pigeon in his hand.

"A letter from Sigui."

Cheng Sigui, the little boy back then, has grown into an 18-year-old man, and is now Ji Yunzhang's spy. He is smart, straightforward, and not timid.

Although he grew up in the Western Jin Dynasty, he returned to Da Qi in 1989 and grew up by the side of General Cheng.

My aunt also married Qin Anjiang. Although my aunt has passed away, General Qin still lives with the Cheng family.

As a family of military generals, Cheng Sigui has naturally been a passionate man since childhood.

Last year when Ji Yunzhang was going to fight against the Western Jin Dynasty, this child followed his uncle and sneaked into the team without being discovered by anyone.

He only showed up when spies were needed to go to the Western Jin Dynasty.

He grew up in the Western Jin Dynasty when he was a child, so his accent, habits, and direction are all the most suitable for him.

Cheng Sigui is Cheng Libin's only son, and Ji Yunzhang didn't want to use him.

But now, the war between Western Jin and Dasheng is in full swing, and both sides will send spies.

If we talk about who dresses like a person from the Western Jin Dynasty, the tall and strong Cheng Sigui is the most similar.

Ji Yunzhang asked him what reward he wanted on the day he won the battle.

Cheng Sigui scratched his head and said he wanted to marry the princess.

Ji Yunzhang was caught off guard and spat out a mouthful of tea, and almost drew his sword.

Sui'er is only ten years old and Fu'er is only seven years old, or strictly speaking, only nine years old.

Cheng Sigui said, "I have never seen a princess, but I heard from the storyteller in the teahouse that the princess is the most beautiful person in the world, so I want to marry the most beautiful person in the world."

Ji Yunzhang, "..."

Now someone is starting to covet his daughter right in front of him. What should he do if he really wants to kill that person?
After leaving the tent, Qin Anjiang slapped Cheng Sigui on the back of the head.

"I told you to read more books but you didn't! You're still using the Western Jin Dynasty's tricks and you even said in front of your majesty that you want to marry a princess. You must be tired of living!"

Cheng Sigui smiled indifferently, "Your Majesty may be angry, but he doesn't really want to kill me."

Qin Anjiang knew that Cheng Sigui was a straightforward person who always said what he thought and never beat around the bush.

Fortunately, Your Majesty has known him since childhood and knows his temperament.

Qin Anjiang wanted to put his hand on his shoulder, but found that he was now taller than him.

He could only put his hands behind his back, "Do you know how old the eldest princess is now?"

Cheng Sigui raised his thick black eyebrows and said simply, "I don't know."

Qin Anjiang, "Ten years old, the second princess is seven years old."

Cheng Sigui, "..."

The image of a little girl holding a candy man and a candied haws and wanting a hug immediately emerged in his mind.

He couldn't help but shudder. She was so young, it was enough to be his daughter!

No wonder His Majesty looked like he wanted to chop him up just now.

Far away in Yanjing, Ji Sui'an sneezed loudly. She had just finished painting the spring scenery, and there were dots of saliva on it that were just left to be stamped.

Cheng Sigui said, "Then I'd better tell His Majesty that I don't want the princess anymore. Just give me some reward money."

Qin Anjiang pulled him back with a dark face.

"Can you please turn your straight mind around? A princess is just an object. If you want her, you can have her. If you don't want her, you don't have to have her."

"Or is it that the princess is not as good as some gold and silver?"

Cheng Sigui frowned, "Uncle, that's not what I meant!"

Qin Anjiang pulled him, "Alright, alright, the more you explain, the worse it gets. Just shut your mouth."

Cheng Sigui was still a little unconvinced.

But he didn't know that in the future, with his straight mind and slow mouth, he would almost miss the person who was most important to him.
