Sui and Tang Dynasties: Engagement to Li Xiuning, start with heavy snow dragon ride

Facing Yang Zhao's questioning, Xiao Li broke out in a cold sweat.

At the same time, I was very shocked, how could this incident alarm His Majesty?

Generally speaking, the emperor would not care about matters in the harem, especially such trivial matters.

Furthermore, those concubines were too embarrassed to speak up when they encountered such a thing.

If you fail to anger the emperor, you will be punished.

But when Xiao Li thought of what he said to the queen before, he was not afraid at once:

"Returning to Your Majesty, the ministers distributed according to regulations, and the amount is recorded in the ledger."

He answered cunningly, regulations, not laws.

Those with bad family backgrounds will be detained by the Ministry of Household Affairs. This is an unwritten rule.

After all, there is no backstage, and some relationships are needed in the harem, and some concubines even send money.

There has never been a complaint of this kind.

"Regulations? Heh, the household department is such a big dog!"

Yang Zhaosheng fell into Hong Lei, he was really angry.

This Xiao Li not only has a bad attitude, but also behaves well.

Wanting to take advantage of him, how audacious!

Xiao Li was so frightened that he knelt down fiercely: "The emperor spares my life, I deserve to die, and I deserve death for my crimes!"

He didn't know why the emperor would be so angry about such a trivial matter.

"Well said, since that's the case, I will not kill you for the sake of your hard work."

"Remove Xiao Li's position as Minister of the Household Department, and serve as Xie Lu Lang."

As soon as this remark came out, the civil and military officials of Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

The third-rank officials are directly downgraded to the eighth rank!

"Sir, thank you Lord Long En."

Xiao Li shook his body, lowered his head, and thanked him.

The emperor Jinkouyu said that it is a blessing in misfortune that he can get his life back.

If you dare to refute, I am afraid that your life will be lost.

"My dear friends, do you have any objections?"

Yang Zhao glanced around with cold eyes.

All the civil and military officials lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. The emperor was furious, and no one wanted to be the first bird.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

Seeing that no one was talking, Zhang Heng raised his voice and had just finished speaking when he saw Chu Suiliang come out to bow.

Yang Zhao narrowed his eyes.

"Report to Your Majesty, the world is stable now, and the people have no worries about food and clothing. I think that water transportation can be carried out to facilitate trade."

Chu Suiliang said this for no reason.

Yang Zhao was taken aback, glanced at Chu Suiliang, and then said:

"My love, what's your opinion?"

Su Wei went out and clapped his hands and replied:

"Your Majesty, just after the conquest, the people and the imperial court need to recuperate. This is a good policy, but we need to discuss it later."

Some time ago, the national treasury was tight, and now we need to do some water transportation. Isn't this adding salt to the wound?

"Well, Su Aiqing is right."

After Yang Zhao said something, he continued to look at everyone in the hall.

Wei Zheng stood up at this time, glanced at Chu Suiliang, and said:

"Your Majesty, I believe that what Chu Shangshu said is very true. On the occasion of this grand event, building water transportation can benefit the people and the court. This is the best policy."

Pei Ju and the others were a little confused.

What happened to Wei Zheng?

Still agree at this time?

Doesn't he know about the treasury's problems?

Before he could figure it out, Xu Maogong also came out and said:

"Return to Your Majesty, the minister seconded."

Pei Ju was shocked, if only Wei Zheng said that, it would be fine, why Xu Maogong also said that.

Colluded?

Yang Zhao glanced at the two of them, then suddenly smiled:

"What Mr. Xu said even, Minister of the Household Department, how is the treasury now?"

Although Xiao Li was dismissed, it was not an immediate matter. There were still many things to be exchanged, and the process would take a few more days.

Hearing the emperor's culture, Xiao Li came back to his senses and said dumbly:

"Return to Your Majesty, the treasury is tight now, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

Yang Zhao stared at Xiao Li and asked.

"I'm afraid, it's difficult to support the matter of water transportation and Taoism!"

"Chu Aiqing, what should I do?"

Yang Zhao stared at Chu Suiliang, he was testing.

This person was recommended by Wei Zheng, in his mind, he should not be a corrupt official.

But in history, this person was not like this, just because in this world, some things are different.

He needs confirmation.

If there was a perfect solution, it would be someone on his side.

If you can't give it, then this matter has nothing to do with Wei Zheng.

Chu Suiliang was stunned, he was a little dazed.

He is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, so he will naturally bring up the matter of cultivating Taoism, but he is only responsible for bringing it up, and he didn't say to solve it?

Chapter 288 The Changing Court

Shouldn't Xu Gong and Wei Gong come to advise on this matter?

Besides, the treasury is tight, how do I know?

I am a minister of the Ministry of Industry, I am only responsible for repairs, not for solving the problem of lack of money.

I have no money to find the account department.

Question marks filled Xiao Li's mind.

At this time, he regretted a little, in fact, he was a little bit erroneous.

After this period of time, he had already discovered that something was wrong with the emperor, and he was always in a bad mood.

For this reason, he specifically talked to Wei Zheng.

Only then did I realize that it turned out that no one in the DPRK and China responded to the problem recently.

In such a big world, is there really no problem at all?

Obviously, no.

So Chu Suiliang decided to please His Majesty no matter what.

Besides, he was recommended by Wei Zheng, and Yang Zhao didn't object, which meant that he had a good impression of him.

He is also the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and his duty is to build roads, Taoism, and palaces.

After much deliberation, I sent someone to check a lot of information.

I found that the foreign enemies have been resolved now, but the income has not been very good, and the business is still very backward.

So I thought of building water transportation, and in this way, the economic problem was solved.

Even the treasury can be recharged.

Kill two birds with one stone.

So he was ready before going to court today.

Who knew, at this time, His Majesty gave him such a difficult problem.

Chu Suiliang rolled his eyes, bowed and said:

"The minister is ignorant and cannot have a perfect plan."

If you encounter a problem, throw it out, anyway, it has nothing to do with me.

When these words reached Yang Zhao's ears, the meaning was different.

From his point of view, this person was recommended by Wei Zheng.

Recently, we have been discussing the tightness of the national treasury and the problems of powerful and powerful nobles.

At this time, Chu Suiliang put forward another proposal that would cost people and money, and he thought it was to provide himself with a plan.

In the end, don't you know?

That meaning is obvious, Chu Suiliang's purpose is not pure.

Since ancient times, the belt of the Ministry of Industry has ranked third.

Above are the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Rites.

The reason is that money is originally managed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it is certain to make money.

The Ministry of Rites has to hold events when it encounters big and small things, and one can imagine the oil and water in it.

As for the Ministry of Industry, the construction of this piece, hehe, let alone this time, even in the future, it will be the one with the most lucrative resources.

Yang Zhao nodded and looked at Xu Gong without saying a word.

The latter understood, took a step forward, and said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, the construction of water transport involves a lot of things. The best way right now is to raise taxes."

Yang Zhao closed the case of buckling the dragon, with a displeased expression on his face.

"When I came to the throne, I had just been exempted from tax for three years. This is to make me go back on my word, no."

"Not to mention withdrawing the order, when the emperor is in power, the people will suffer unspeakably just after the war, how can I bear it."

"Don't mention the tax increase again."

Mr. Xu sighed, hesitant to speak.

"Mr. Xu said what he had to say, but did he have a good plan?"

Yang Zhao asked cooperatively.

"Return to Your Majesty, I do have another plan, but..."

Xu Maogong looked back at Baiguan specifically, with a look of embarrassment.

The hearts of all the officials shuddered, and there was an ominous premonition.

What on earth do you want, old man?

"Grand Xu said it's okay, since I'm here, there's no need to worry."

Yang Zhao gave him a reassurance pill, which was also a vaccination in advance.
