The two stood outside the hall and nodded slightly.
Li Er looked at them a little dazedly, your attitude is a bit abnormal now, when did you become so respectful to Li Tai? !
PS: The second update is here, and there are eight more, and there will be more soon, and it is being revised!New book, collection, flowers, monthly pass, reward, all support, thank you! !
Chapter 3 can't be finished, I'll make you get angry! (10/[-], new book for collection!)
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Er out of the corner of his eye, seeing his shocked expression, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart because he still didn't understand what he was thinking.
Do you think we want this?
Let you chop three-hour-old seeds, and try to allocate a hundred kilograms of melon seeds!
Maybe you have the heart to kneel!
Li Tai looked at Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji who were bowing outside the hall with interest. The attitudes of these two people were much better than in the morning. Very good, this is a good start. : "You all come in, sit down as you like."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Jiancheng said respectfully, then moved his trembling legs, walked to the hall and sat down, tilted his head to look at Li Er who was sitting opposite, and asked, "Second brother, what happened?"
Li Er told Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji about the conversation with Pei Ji just now.
Hearing this, Li Yuanji couldn't help but burst into anger and said:
"It's ridiculous!"
"The dignified court is so poor that it has to borrow money from a wealthy family. If this matter is recorded in the annals of history and passed down to future generations, what will future generations think?!"
Li Er and Li Jiancheng both looked at him.
Li Jiancheng asked, "Then what should be done according to the third brother's wishes?"
Li Yuanji snorted:
"The court has no money. Shouldn't the civil and military of the whole court work together to tide over the difficulties with the court? Hundreds of officials can't afford the salary, so they can postpone the payment, and the tax will come up at the end of the year, and they will be paid together.
"There are still three provinces and six departments, and it is time to set an example at this moment!"
"Especially in the Sixth Ministry, the construction of the Ministry of Works can be postponed, the matters managed by the Ministry of Rites can be simplified, the expenditure of the Ministry of War can also be reduced, the Ministry of Households can manage the money bags, save the province, and the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment can also dismiss some corpses and vegetarians. Save money!"
Li Er and Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji with deep eyes, but did not interrupt him.
Li Yuanji continued to say angrily:
"What's more, the wealthy and wealthy families are rich, so the Prime Minister's family has no money? Thousands of acres of fertile land and several mansions. Isn't this money? Just a few Prime Ministers and Ministers known to the king, there are more than that in the family!"
"If you want to borrow money, why don't you ask the Prime Minister to borrow it?"
"I don't even need to borrow it, everyone can donate! Big brother, second brother, do you think this is what the younger brother said?!"
Li Jiancheng shook his head and sighed: "Stupid brother!"
Eh?Li Tai looked at Li Jiancheng intriguingly. His words reminded him of a classic line from an anime he had seen before.
Li Yuanji looked puzzled, "Big brother, what's wrong with my younger brother?"
Li Er said indifferently: "If you say this, you will definitely offend the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Have you considered the feelings of low-rank officials in the capital? Delaying the payment of salaries is nothing to officials such as Prime Minister Shangshu Shilang, but the quality of What about the lower officials in Chaojing?"
"They don't have thousands of acres of fertile land, and they don't have a mansion. The family members and the expenses of their servants are all waiting for the court to pay him salaries. Once the payment of salaries is delayed, it will be them who suffer. Do you think it will lead to resentment? "
Li Yuanji said unwillingly: "Then don't delay the payment of stipends, but let the prime minister, the minister, the minister and the others donate money, isn't it difficult?"
Li Jiancheng said calmly: "This is a thousand times harder than delaying the salary. Delaying the salary and cutting expenses will make them feel nothing, but let them donate money and wait for the hornet's nest."
Li Yuanji was startled: "Why?"
Li Yuanji explained patiently:
"If the money is donated, it's not their money. How could they be happy? The imperial government's treasury is in a huge deficit this time. Some people will be unhappy if they donate less, and they will be unhappy if they donate more, so why did they finally lead to five surnames Qiwang? The reason is here, whether others have more money or less, it has nothing to do with them, and each other is happy to see it happen."
Li Er interjected:
"What's more, the matter of the six ministries you just mentioned will cause resistance, calling the Ministry of Personnel to cut officials. They will definitely find excuses to block it, and the Ministry of War will cut expenses, which is even more difficult. The Liang division has been in chaos, and the Turks have invaded our border year after year. The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Households, are also the same examples, so say, no!”
Li Yuanji opened his mouth, looking like he was hesitating to speak, and finally lowered his head in despair, cooperating with what he just said, can't you expect the same?
Li Tai was nibbling on the melon seeds and looked at Li Jiancheng and Li Er with interest and pointed out the problems in Li Yuanji's words. , there is still something.
As for Li Yuanji.
It seemed right to give him the job of nibbling melon seeds for himself.
He is also suitable for eating melon seeds!
At this time, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Tai and said solemnly, "The patriarch of the five surnames Qiwang in Chang'an will come later, what will your majesty do?"
Li Tai blinked: "I want money."
Li Jiancheng looked stunned for a moment, so direct, he hesitated: "What if you don't give it?"
Li Tai continued to blink and said, "If you don't give it to me, ask for it!"
Li Jiancheng: "..."
Li Er: "..."
Li Yuanji: "..."
Li Jiancheng and Li Er only felt tired for a while. They could still reason with Li Yuanji and reason with this master. They were blind!
Force if you don't give it?
If it is so simple, do you need to think of other methods?
For a while, Li Jiancheng and Li Er fell into contemplation, thinking about how to deal with the people with five surnames and seven Wangs when they arrived.
At this time, Li Yuanji walked up to Li Tai with an apologetic smile and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to eat melon seeds for you?"
"Okay."
Li Tai blinked and looked at him, and after speaking, he said loudly to the milky voice outside the hall: "Come here, bring me two hundred catties of melon seeds!"
"Here!"
The echoes of the palace guards sounded outside the hall.
Soon, five large sacks filled with sunflower seeds were sent to the Hall of Nectar.
Looking at the sack, Li Yuanji's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he said to Li Tai bitterly: "Your Highness, are you angry after eating so much?"
Li Tai spread out his small hands and fished out a large handful of melon seeds from a sack, put them on the table, looked at him seriously, and said, "If you can't finish it, I'll tell you to get angry."
Li Yuanji: "..."
Looking at the melon seeds, Li Yuanji was distraught, how could he be so cheap!
PS: The third one is offered!There will be more later, thank you for the [-] flowers TvT of the boss, wait for me to add more to the boss! !
Chapter 4 After eating the melon seeds he gave, do you know what you will have to pay? ! (10/[-], new book for collection)
In Chang'an City, Longyou Li's mansion.
The news was quickly taken by Shen Lian to the mansion of the five surnames and Qiwang, and the seven patriarchs hurriedly gathered together after being informed by Shen Lian to go to the palace immediately.
As soon as the seven old men over [-] years old met, they discussed with a solemn expression.
"This time the court has a huge deficit in the treasury, and we need to wait for donations."
Li Qing of Zhao County's Li family laughed and said, "It's not that our seven families can't donate, but after donating, what can we get?"
The other six old men nodded in agreement.
"If the court sells officials and vassals, to tell the truth, donate it as well."
Li Qing continued with a calm expression:
"When I came here, I asked a few people who were officials in the imperial court, and what I said was that our little emperor would give nothing, but only let us donate money. Since we don't give anything, why do we donate money? Burn your hands?"
Longxi Li Shi Li Zhao glanced at him, and said solemnly: "This is the truth, but, if you don't give it, you can't do it. This little emperor has several lives in his hands."
Hearing this, the old men were silent.
Yes, regardless of the young age of the newly enthroned emperor, his methods can be brutal!
Up to Liu Yu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, down to Zhang Kong, the eunuch of the palace, none of them escaped from his hands.
To know.
This is the second day of accepting Zen!
If he went to the palace, met the little emperor, and bluntly said that he would not donate, the little emperor would definitely be unhappy.
If he is not happy, someone will suffer!
After all, the little emperor likes to act recklessly, and he likes to be arbitrary!
Li Zhao said with a solemn expression: "When you go to the palace this time, you must go, and you must donate, you can't give someone a hand!"
"The old majesty has become the supreme emperor, and he is not dead yet. There are still the abolished prince, the king of Qi, and the king of Qin. The court is in a crisis now, and it will definitely use all means. When we offend the little emperor, we offend them, no Good deal!"
"But, we are going, and we have to prepare first."
"You listen to me."
With that said, Li Zhao leaned down and explained his plan in a low voice.
Everyone's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"This method is good!"
"Just listen to Brother Li's arrangement!"
Everyone hit it off, and after reaching an agreement, Li Zhao smiled and said, "If that's the case, let's enter the palace."
……
At this time, Du Ruhui's mansion.
After the court, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin and others sat around each other with helplessness written all over their faces.
Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Our majesty is still too young, and those people with five surnames and seven looks, do you think that your majesty may ask for money from them that can solve the urgent needs of the court?"
"You can have a fart!"
