The hot wife of the champion

Chapter 82: Being Despised (3)
The cabinet bachelor, the second assistant, Ren Youming, stood up and supported the prince.Ren Youming's eldest daughter, Ren Linlin is now the appointed Crown Princess and has not yet married.

"Exactly, my father and sons only stayed in the south of the Yangtze River for ten days, and saw the tragic scene of many people starving to death. In the 50 years since the founding of my Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor's grandfather started from a commoner and rose up. The fundamental reason is that Hunger. People have nothing to eat, and without the concern of the court, they will lose their loyalty to the court. In order to have enough food, the hungry people will turn into mobs at any time. Although Jiangnan is severely affected by the disaster, the victims are all looking at us eagerly The imperial court also knew that there was a lot of grain stored in government offices in various places. The ministers had no choice but to do so, and the ministers also knew that the consequences of doing so would be serious, so after dealing with it in this way, they rushed to various places to choose alternative grains. The emperor paid off, and I finally found it. It is the sweet potato and corn of the Rhone country. These two kinds of grains have extremely high yields. Everyone knows that rice can weigh [-] catties per mu, which is considered a bumper harvest. Wheat Eight hundred catties per mu is also a good harvest. The yield of sweet potatoes in Corona can reach five thousand catties per mu, while the yield of corn is at least fifteen hundred catties per mu. Such a gap can feed more people and even livestock Erchen has already bought the seedling and planting technology of sweet potatoes, and is also moving these sweet potatoes over. In a short time, they will be able to reach all parts of the south of the Yangtze River. However, the gap in the price of the crops needed in the south of the Yangtze River is too large. Erchen spent all his money in the East Palace, and only bought Part of the sweet potato crops, as well as the follow-up seedling costs, etc., I beg my father to grant funding! My son begs my father!"

The prince said, and suddenly knelt down heavily.

"Have you all heard what the prince said? I tell you the truth, the soldiers in front don't even have enough food and pay, and my hands are also very scarce. Since my emperor's son has spent all his money in the East Palace, I It can't be worse than the emperor's son. Eunuch Li, starting today, I will reduce my expenses. Except for three meals a day, which are enough to eat, the rest can be waived. The expenses of the harem will also be reduced by half. Support the victims. Also, let’s see if there are any valuables in my inner treasury, sell them, and raise the missing funds for the prince, the people are the most important thing!”

The emperor of Da Zhou, in his forties, seemed to be the most manly time, but at this time the emperor's eyes were downcast, and no one could guess the true meaning of what the emperor said just now.

In fact, more than two months earlier, the emperor also said the same thing. At that time, it was to raise food and wages for the soldiers in the front. However, the prince stood up and stopped the emperor at that time, saying that the emperor is the king of a country, and the honor he should have must not be less.

But today the emperor said so again, who can stand up and stop the emperor, saying that the emperor's dignity cannot be damaged?Prince?
Obviously the prince can't, the emperor just said so because of the prince's words.

The prince's face looked a little pale at this time, he said his words too high-profile, forcing his father to say so, he was careless.

"You mustn't do it, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is the king of a country. How can you do this? The old minister is not talented, and he still has some savings in his family. I would like to donate 1 taels of silver to help the prince to help the victims in the south of the Yangtze River. Master Li, can you raise your hand and help the suffering victims?"

Second assistant Ren Youming immediately stood up and said what should be said for the prince to dissuade the emperor just now, but he also dragged Liu Yunchao, Shangshu of the household department, into the water.

Hubu Shangshu is the emperor's loyal fan and will never participate in the seizure of the heir, but whoever wants to take out the money in the foreign treasury from him will have to be nodded by the emperor.

When the crown prince asked the emperor for money just now, although the emperor agreed, he chose to use his own money from the inner treasury and the money from the outer treasury without even mentioning it. The meaning is not difficult to guess!
Since Cifu knew what the emperor meant, of course he didn't dare to challenge the emperor blatantly, so he could only use himself as bait to pull the minister of the household department into the water.

Besides, I didn't explicitly ask Mr. Liu to take the money from the foreign treasury. It can also be said that he took the lead in donating his own money. He, Mr. Liu, can also donate his own money!

"Returning to Mr. Li, I have a yearly salary of 200 taels of silver. I have a seventy-year-old mother in my family and a daughter who is waiting to be married. I even live in a courtyard rewarded by the emperor. Now I am worried about not having a decent dowry. But, anyway, I I still have food and lodging, and I can dress decently. Wait a minute, let me see. Well, this jade ring finger is still left by my father. I also do my best for the disaster area. This officer is stretched, everyone is laughing, everyone It’s because I have a weak foundation, so I can’t be compared with Master Jisuke!”

The words of Liu Yunchao, the head of the household department, made the second assistant's face turn white and black. What does this guy mean by saying that his salary is low, but my salary is not low?

But I took out 1 taels?He just threw out a white jade wrench worth tens of taels, trying to ridicule me for corruption and bribery?How can the prince come up with so much money?Is it also from corruption and bribery?

Jifu's face became embarrassed, but no one came out to make a rescue at this time.

That's right, the householder is poor and has no money to donate, and other people's foundations are weak, where can they get so much money?Didn't you just say that you came here through corruption and bribery?

If you also tell the Lord of the Household Department that you have no money and can't afford to lose face, what is the family's situation, are you all idiots in the court?Can you really fool around?If one is not good, it will cause trouble for the upper body.

The entire imperial court produced Liu Yunchao, the minister of the household who cried poorly. He dared to cry poorly with the money of the imperial court, and others could only admire him.The real two-sleeve breeze, the money does not touch your hands!Who can do it like him?

This is probably why the emperor trusted him, right?

At this time, the prince knew that he was in too much haste, and he didn't drag the officials of the court into the water. Those who held the silver in their hands still held the silver, including the father.

But the situation in Jiangnan was hard-won. At this time, his reputation in Jiangnan could even surpass that of his father, which was also why it was inconvenient for his father to pursue him.

If it really doesn't work, be cruel and be a commoner prince.Don't believe that you can't get the support of the ministers?Can't win the hearts of the people of the whole Dazhou?
As for my good brother, even if he died in the frontier, he couldn't compare with him.Dare to grab food from yourself?Grab money?Don't even look at what the people want!
"Father, with Master Cifu's 1 taels, and with this finger pull from the Minister of the Household Department, I will definitely be able to help more victims. I will find another way to raise money for the victims, please father The emperor is relieved!"

"So, it's a hard work for the prince! Those who have a finger ring donate a finger ring, and those who have a jade hairpin donate a jade hairpin. Eunuch Li, I also donate 100 taels of silver. Can you get it?"

Eunuch Li hurriedly knelt down: "I respect the order, I still have 100 taels!"

After the prince returned to the East Palace, he was so angry that he was exhausted. The father didn't care about his own hard work, and he didn't see the hard work of those victims. He only cared that the eldest son in his eyes had no food, so he was so angry!
