After wearing the book, I became the black moonlight of the paranoid prince

Chapter 951 Coping
Li Sinian was slightly taken aback, and immediately realized something from it, a dark light flickered in his lowered eyes.

Prime Minister Wei's words clearly analyzed the internal situation in the Southwest. The gap between the rich and the poor is large, and the local power is even greater than the imperial garrison, so it is difficult to govern. This has always been a headache for the imperial court.

But no matter how difficult it is to govern, it is impossible for the imperial court to give up this fertile land of geomantic omen.

You know, nearly half of the grain in Dazhou is produced in the southwest.

And the reason why Prime Minister Wei was able to say such bold and indulgent words was because he knew enough about the people's conditions in the Southwest.

Before being promoted to the post of prime minister, he had served as a magistrate in the Southwest for many years. No one could understand and deal with Southwest issues better than him.

This is different from most of the ministers who talk about the Southwest discoloration and don't analyze the problem in a deeper level, but refute other people's countermeasures, but they are eloquent. Prime Minister Wei's opinions are always just right. Focus on the main points, and be able to come up with the most appropriate solution.

It was not unreasonable for the father to rely so heavily on him before.

Li Sinian nodded silently, thinking that asking him about this matter was indeed the right one.

"Then the treasury is empty and the soldiers and horses are insufficient, so how should we deal with it?"

Probably because he knew that Prime Minister Wei would not refuse his question today, Li Sinian simply asked all he wanted to ask.

Prime Minister Wei thought for a while, then turned his teacup and smiled.

"I remember the severe drought in the Northwest and the plague. The imperial court pulled out 50 taels of relief money, but in the end it failed to be implemented. Instead, it was withheld by the eldest prince privately. It's because he didn't have time to take away his private property, and even King Oara only had time to take away those weapons and mecha troops. If the treasury is really so empty, it might as well have someone check it carefully. Although it can't solve the root cause, it is urgent You can still take it easy.”

Li Sinian's expression brightened, and he looked at him with burning eyes.

"I have sent people to search for these things before. Except for a bunch of shady people from the big emperor's brother's mansion, I couldn't find anything else."

It stands to reason that if a prince is robbed, not to mention private property, there are a lot of rewards and income every year, but the eldest prince's mansion is so clean that no money can be found, which is too abnormal.

Even the Qingqiu Pavilion was checked thoroughly by him, but he still found nothing, which made him puzzled at the time.

It was even conjectured that he had already transferred all his belongings before forcing the palace.

Considering the character of the First Prince, he probably would not have thought that he would fail in his actions at the time.

So where did he hide his private property and the gold, silver and jewels brought by King Oara?

Seeing that he really couldn't think of it, Prime Minister Wei kindly reminded him.

"The eldest prince's mother and concubine have been locked up in the palace in Xishan, right? I don't know how she is now after all these years."

Li Sinian woke up instantly.

How could he have forgotten that the elder brother also has a mother and concubine who has suffered from madness for many years?

Xishan, that is the place where the great emperor brother used his military affairs to train soldiers for himself privately.

At the beginning, he ordered to investigate all the matters related to the eldest brother, but this was the only one that was missed.

If Prime Minister Wei hadn't mentioned this, I'm afraid he wouldn't have remembered the fact that although the emperor, brother, mother and concubine have been crazy for many years, they are still alive and well.

The fingers resting on the table were tight and tight, and he couldn't wait any longer.

Prime Minister Wei had a panoramic view of his expression, with a slight smile on his face.

After all, he was a young man, and he couldn't hold his breath at all.

He put down the teacup in his hand, and continued.

"The life of the people in the northwest area has not been easy since the plague. If the imperial court wants to recruit soldiers, it might as well allocate the quota to the northwest. Xiangyin can add [-]% more than other places. As for the inaction of local officials and collusion with each other to corrupt the law, this is a big problem. You should be quite proficient in handling it.”
