The system forced me to be emperor
Page 656
After entering the palace, Xiao Rui boldly went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, begging to see His Majesty.
Emperor Xia had just finished reviewing the memorial and was taking a break from reading when he heard that the crown prince asked to see him, he was surprised and said, "Why is he here? It seems that there must be something wrong!"
"Your Majesty, seeing the prince's menacing approach, I really seem to have something to do." Hai Dafu said respectfully.
Emperor Xia nodded, interested randomly.
As an emperor, the terrifying ability to guess and think is a necessary skill to grasp the overall situation, so he speculated: "He just left the palace and went to Zhan Shifu and Huben Pavilion. Zhan Shifu is nothing, but Huben Pavilion is very impressive now. The Xiao He he recruited was very skillful. I was envious of such a talent, and I would be a little inferior to be a servant of the household department. Without using the power of the imperial court, he promoted corn and potatoes like a raging fire. The reason why I handed over this matter To the prince, I just wanted to train him and let him know that it is very difficult to promote something, so he found a talent directly. Xiao He drew a big cake to let the people see the sweetness, and in the shortest time And the most suitable way to approve corn and potatoes. This is a good thing. Could it be that he came to ask for credit? No, no, if this kid asks for credit, he will also quietly borrow the hands of others, so there is a problem...Now Huben Pavilion The difficulty encountered was…”
After Xiahuang finished speaking, his eyes lit up, and he said immediately: "Let him in!"
Hai Dafu respectfully invites you.
Holding the accounts, Xiao Rui walked into the palace in high spirits. He had already thought of his words, and he must let His Majesty spit out the money!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the palace, he saw His Majesty sighing there, and said: "The crusade against Zhao and Qi has made great achievements, but the national treasury has been exhausted! The upper reaches of the Yellow River have continued torrential rains, and the lower reaches have floods! Huainan, Huaibei, Xuzhou, etc. Drought, reduced grain production, heavy rains and storms in Fuzhou and Ganzhou. Daxia has redundant officials and a bloated structure. The king of a country has to worry about money!"
After sighing, Emperor Xia glanced at Xiao Rui and said, "Is the emperor here?"
Xiao Rui's footsteps stopped there, he opened his mouth, and the words he had just prepared disappeared in an instant.
"I pay homage to my father." Xiao Rui said respectfully.
Emperor Xia showed hope, and asked: "My lord, I heard that on your way back to Beijing, you stole some corrupt officials who embezzled good land and didn't cooperate with Qingzhang's work. I heard that you stole a lot of money?"
I am!
Xiao Rui's eyes widened immediately. He came to ask for money, but he was blackmailed before he opened his mouth. This is not acceptable!
"Father, my son is in charge of the censor of the right capital, and is also responsible for inspecting Liangtian Qingzhang. The investigation of corrupt officials is carried out in accordance with the court procedures. As for how much money was copied, my son does not know!" Xiao Rui refused.
Emperor Xia said regretfully: "I thought the emperor was here to give money, it's a pity."
This will not work!
Xiao Rui immediately asked: "Father, although there was a flood in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the scale was small and did not cause a large area of flooding. The drought in Huainan and other places reduced the harvest. A little, but life is enough. As for the crusade against Zhao and Qi, yes, a lot of military expenses were spent, but after occupying the enemy's counties and mansions, a large amount of food and treasures were continuously sent to Kyoto. The harvest not only supplements the consumption, but also has a surplus. As for the officials asking for a salary increase, hehe, whoever asks for a salary increase will kill him!"
Nima, I am short of money right now, raising my salary now is just stealing my money!So if there is no salary increase, do you want it!
Emperor Xia laughed secretly, hey, this kid is so hostile, it seems that he is really short of money.But if you are short of money, go find a way to get it. It’s not okay to come here to play the autumn wind.
At this moment, Xiao Rui's face was sad, and he began to pretend to be pitiful and acted: "Father, when it comes to having no money, my son is the one who has no money. Please, father, be sympathetic to my son. For the sake of Da Xia, my son I took out all the wealth I had accumulated for 19 years, and dedicated myself to Daxia!"
Xiao Rui presented the ledger.
Hai Dafu took it and presented it to Emperor Xia.
After looking through it, Emperor Xia reassuredly said: "My son has a heart, Daxia can have a crown prince like Huang'er, not only my blessing, but also the blessing of the world! Haibanban, don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness is sympathetic to the people, caring about the world, and selflessly contributing to the prosperity of the Great Xia. He is truly a role model for all the people in the world!"
Emperor Xia agreed: "That's right, I also feel this way! If I don't commend him, how can I be worthy of the prince's good intentions? I want to write down the words 'Two Sleeves Breeze' with my own hands, order someone to make a plaque, and present it to the prince. !"
Xiao Rui didn't say these things because he wanted a breeze, what he wanted was money!
"Royal father, the two-sleeved style is to commend the integrity of the officials. The minister is the prince, so it is not suitable. How about changing it to silver? I also ask the father to be sympathetic to the efforts of the minister. Now the Huben Pavilion is too expensive, and the minister is really stretched. "Xiao Rui immediately asked for it.
Emperor Xia nodded and agreed: "The emperor's words are reasonable. The two-sleeved breeze is to commend the upright officials. You are the prince and the future emperor of Daxia. It is indeed not suitable to commend you. As for asking for money... my internal funds are also empty. What kind of money, isn’t it, Haibanban?”
Hai Dafu didn't want to offend the crown prince, but he didn't dare to disobey His Majesty, so he could only answer: "Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has nothing in his money, even the rats have gone hungry."
Emperor Xia nodded in relief, Haibanban is worthy of serving him for so many years, what he said is too accurate, but a bit fake.
Look at Xiao Rui, already staring at Hai Dafu, gnashing his teeth.This guy's skin is itching again, it seems that these days when Ben Gong went to Zhao, he has already forgotten how powerful Ben Gong is!
If you have nothing to do, hit Hai Da Fu!
Xiao Rui decided to resume the business.
As for Hai Dafu, there was a mournful cry in his heart, what made us burst into tears, the coffin was leaving in front of his eyes bit by bit, but he was helpless!
Xiao Rui didn't believe that His Majesty and Hai Dafu were singing together, so he shouted: "Father, you shouldn't! Last time, my son honored my father for more than seven million taels. Don't want too many sons, just donate three or four million taels." That’s fine! Father, my son is here to promote corn and potatoes, for Father, for Great Xia, and for the common people in the world!”
Knowing the righteousness, let's see how His Majesty promotes it!
It's a pity, Xiao Rui forgot a sentence, the Tao is as high as one foot, and the devil is as high as one foot!
Xia Huang smiled and said: "The emperor's promotion of corn and potatoes is for Da Xia, yes, it is for the common people in the world, but it is not for Zhen, it is for yourself. You are the prince of Da Xia, and you will be the emperor of Da Xia in the future. What should you not do for your people? So you should spend money. If I have money, I can lend it to you. You just need to write a letter, nine times out and thirteen returns. But I really have no money The expenses in the palace are all money, you say I have money, so why don't you investigate me?"
So, Jiang is still old and hot, Emperor Xia directly vetoed Xiao Rui's righteousness, and finally came a threat, direct general!
"I don't dare, I'm just speculating, how dare I investigate my father. In addition, although my son is the crown prince, he is not yet the emperor. He should be doing things for the father!" Xiao Rui tried hard to resist.
Xiahuang smiled and used his trump card: "Oh, so... you want me to abdicate?"
"I don't dare!" Xiao Rui shuddered, cursing inwardly, his father was too wicked, he didn't play cards according to the routine at all.
"Then what are you here for today?" Emperor Xia asked back.
Xiao Rui said righteously: "My son also forgot what he is here for, but he is definitely not here to ask for money!"
Emperor Xia was pleased and said, "Okay! Come on, sit down."
"Yes!" Xiao Rui sighed, he could tell, since he entered the door, His Majesty knew his intention, asking for money?There are no doors!
Seeing that Xiao Rui was devastated, Yan Xiaoxiao was heartbroken, so she hurriedly brought tea.Even after drinking three cups, Xiao Rui felt his throat was dry, Nima, is it a hero without money...
Emperor Xia laughed secretly in his heart, but, after all, he is his own son, so he has to help. Although cheating his son is fun for a while, it's always fun, but it can't be too much, otherwise it will lose the emperor's self-cultivation.
Emperor Xia earnestly taught: "I have also heard about the difficulties of the Huben Pavilion. The expenditure is huge. Now you are messing around with a junior college, all for the purpose of cultivating talents in Daxia. I see it. But I really don't have any money. , but I can teach you a way to make money. Remember, it is better to retreat and form a net if you are envious of fish in Linyuan, and learning how to make money is the long-term solution."
Xiao Rui's eyes lit up.
Chapter 520: When you are young, you are decisive, but when you are old, you have to make trade-offs
Xiao Rui arrogantly came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to ask for salary, but was caught in a trap by His Majesty's few words, and dared not ask for money anymore.
And the meaning of His Majesty's words has already been made clear: Do you want money, and there is a throne, do you dare to ask for it?
Xiao Rui said he didn't dare to ask for it!
But after all, it was his own, and Emperor Xia couldn't be too heartless, so he decided to teach Xiao Rui a way to make money, thinking that teaching people how to fish is worse than giving them fish.
Xiao Rui's eyes brightened, if he could get money from other places, it's fine if he doesn't want to use His Majesty's internal funds.But then, he showed a wary look.
Since it is a way to make money, why doesn't His Majesty make money?How gentle the smile is, like hiding a knife behind your back, hiding a knife in your smile!Therefore, it must be an errand that offends people.
"The emperor is hesitating? If you are hesitating, forget it." Xia Huang sipped tea and leaned back on the armchair, as if he had decided on Xiao Rui.
