I am the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms

However, immediately after that, Mi Zhu had some strange feelings in his heart.Now although it is said that Fu Wan and Xun Yu presided over the government together, in fact Xun Yu is the leader alone, and Fu Wan is a big tripod, which looks majestic.

Since Xun Yu is here, I am afraid that something good has happened.

"I pay homage to the king, the great general." Taking a deep breath, Mi Zhu bowed down.

"Exemption."

"How does it feel to be in charge of the East Palace's finances these days?" Liu Feng nodded and asked.

When Mi Zhu heard the words, his guess became firmer. After pondering for a moment, Mi Zhu raised his head and said, "The general is frugal. Although the cost of the East Palace is complicated, it is still not high. I handle it with ease."

Mi Zhu's words carried a veiled hint that he was able to handle the matter of the East Palace with ease, so it's time to change to a bigger place.

Of course Liu Feng heard it, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"Gu knows what's on your mind." Liu Feng said with a smile.

This surprised Mi Zhu, but when he saw Liu Feng's smile, he felt certain.

"However, Gu is going to fulfill your wish this time. Wait a moment, the Minister will ask Father to issue an edict to make you a salt official. There is only one purpose, which is to open up a source of income for the Shaofu and support Gu to increase his troops." great cause."

At the end, Liu Feng's expression turned solemn, and he asked.

"No." Hearing Liu Feng's tone, Mi Zhu also said solemnly.But there is still some joy in my heart, finally, he is finally ready to be used.

"In the future, we will have to ask Zizhong to help support the financial affairs of the court." Xun Yu, who was next to him, was also relieved to see that the matter had been settled.He couldn't help raising his fist and said to Mi Zhu, he was full of expectations for this big Xuzhou businessman.

"Xun Shangshu's words are serious." Mi Zhu naturally didn't dare to take it too seriously, so he said hastily.

"Okay, okay. Wen Ruo, Zizhong and Zizhong will have opportunities to improve their friendship in the future. Now let's take out all the money in the treasury and forge the lonely Mo Dao. Let's open the way." Liu Feng saw This shook his head and said.

"promise."

Xun Yu and Mi Zhu agreed, and then turned around and walked out together.

"Finally, it's been prevaricated. I really can't control the financial matters, but this Modao must be built." After the two left, Liu Feng said with a sigh of relief.

Dong Gai's expression couldn't help being a little weird, he hadn't noticed before that this king's general was quite aggressive.Although there is no conscription, in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the army, the entire court and important officials are ruthlessly squeezed.

Volume 175 Chapter 1393: Chapter 697 Secretly Obstructing (2)

Constant squandering of money can be regarded as a kind of militarism.However, according to the current situation, this is not too much, increase your own strength.

"Don't worry about the Modao thing, Liannugu will be developed. Your main purpose now is to train soldiers well. Physical training, army formation transformation, the use of spears, and the use of crossbow arrows, if you have spare energy training." Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned his attention to Dong Gai.Dong Gai's strange expression did not arouse Liu Feng's idea, he warned.

"No." Dong Gai quickly put away the weird expression on his face, and promised loudly.

"When I was in Xiangyang, with Liu Biao's background, there were few cities and few troops, so it was a pleasure to squander it. But now, there are more cities, more troops, and more places to spend, but there are restrictions everywhere. It's hard to imagine what it would be like if one day, the king came to the world."

After everyone left, Liu Feng shook his head and sighed.But then, Liu Feng laughed again and said: "It's too far away, let's deal with the situation at hand first."

"I don't know how Cao Mengde's cavalry training is going. I hope it's not too fast. If it's too fast, Gu really doesn't have any parry power."

Immediately, Liu Feng was a little worried again.

People who are great generals have too many things to do.If the environment permits, Liu Feng still hopes to be a stable crown prince.

It's just that some things are really involuntary.

.. ......

Liu Feng wanted to build a weapon called Modao on a large scale, and the Shangshu ordered Xun Yu to withdraw the last sum of money from the treasury.The emperor issued an edict and appointed Mi Zhu, a former big businessman in Xuzhou, as the official of the Shaofu, the official of salt.

On the one hand, the treasury is empty, and on the other hand, businessmen must be appointed as the salt officials of Shaofu.

This makes many people smell unusual.The imperial court's finances really couldn't hold on.

The opportunity is here.

Taichang Mansion, in the hall.

More than a dozen officials, including Taichang Yang Biao and Zhang Zhen, gathered together.

There were smiles on everyone's faces.

"Brother Yang, you expected it. This Liu Feng wants to appease the people who were abused by Cao Cao, and also appease the families of Han Wu soldiers. What's more, he wants to build some kind of academy, and even forge some kind of Modao under such a tight situation. What is the Mo Dao? Is it much more powerful than the Huan Shou Dao? I don't think so. Now, the national treasury has finally been exhausted, and the rest can be used to pay salaries for civil and military officials. Sooner or later, Liu Feng will cry when."

Zhang Zhen gloated.

"Yes, the current situation is in our favor. Then Liu Feng will definitely ask us."

"At that time, we can bargain and take the opportunity to regain the power we should have."

Other officials echoed, all of them were very excited.

"It's not my style to stand by and wait." Yang Biao said with a slight smile.

"Yang Taichang has a clever plan?" An official said excitedly when he heard the words.

"We have to take the initiative and let the merchants who depend on us control the prices of goods, such as food, cloth, fur, etc., making the situation difficult to control. And the court has no extra money to calm things down. At that time, Liu Feng will give in."

Yang Biao said with a smile.

"Okay, that's great."

"This is the last grain of rice that crushes the treasury."

"Mrs. Yang has a clever plan."

All the officials were all happy when they heard the words, and they already had a premonition in their hearts that the time for them to regain power is not far away.

Chapter 698 I'm going to die

The officials in Yang Biao's line were all from aristocratic families.Although they have lost their power, their prestige and influence are huge.

Some merchants didn't know how deep they were, and they threw themselves into the command of these big clans one after another, using these officials as backers to gain a foothold in Xudu.

With the mobilization of these merchants, some profiteers in Xudu also raised their prices one after another, and the prices of the entire Xudu are soaring.

In the east of the city, there is an old rice shop that has been around for more than ten years. The owner of this rice shop is an old man named Jian Zhong.Jianzhong is considered an honest person, which is why the rice store has been open for more than ten years and has many regular customers.

"Hey, today's rice price, why is it [-]% more expensive?"

At this time, a woman came in, looked at the sign on the rice, and let out an exclamation.

Jian Zhong smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said, "There is really no way. The price of the supply has increased a lot. My side is actually pretty good, and many places have already increased by half."
