Waste prince: Why do you force me to be emperor?

Chapter 416 The Art of Speaking of the King of the Barren State

In Tianxia Palace.

Xia Tian did not answer immediately.

But the new crown prince spoke first, with a teasing tone in his tone: "Brother Jiuhuang, those untouchables and refugees heard that you have a holy name in the barren state, so they went to you like a flood. You are a child of our royal family, can't you?" Let them down!"

A fierce light flashed in the depths of the prince's eyes: "If everyone starves to death in your barren state, then the ministers of the imperial court will join you, and this Palace will not be able to protect you!"

Speaking of this, the prince took out a memorial from his sleeve and said: "Father, according to the statistics of the checkpoints in each state, five days ago, the number of untouchables and refugees who entered the desert has reached 50."

"In the past few days, I believe there are more people in the desert!"

"These untouchables and refugees have no money or food, and only have mouths to eat food. This kind of famine, I believe it has brought huge pressure to the Nine Emperor Brothers. If there is a famine in the barren state, please don't punish the Nine Emperor Brothers!"

"After all, his barren state is also a poor and remote place. I heard that he will sell mountain goods in the imperial capital to support his people!"

"Hahaha......"

As soon as these words came out, Chao Zhong burst into laughter.

Cao Wei, the prime minister on the right, had a mocking look on his face: "I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Huangzhou came back this time, and the carriages were loaded with more than 1000 carriages. Are they all wild goods from Huangzhou?"

"Then when the barren state store opens, I will definitely go to buy some barren state mountain products to try."

"Correct!"

The princelings and other ministers of the royal party sincerely felt that the barren state was too poor: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness the barren state, when the time comes, we will all join in the show!"

With so many untouchables and refugees entering the barrenness, the king of the barren state will be in great trouble!

above the court.

Only Emperor Xia, Zuo Xiang Sima Jian, Taiwei Li Jian, and the red-robed censors with the doctor censor did not laugh.

They are observing Xia Tian's reaction.

Then, they were not annoyed at all when they saw Xia Tian!

Xia Tian waited for everyone to finish laughing, and then said in a clear voice: "Father, these days, there are indeed a lot of lowly people and refugees going to the barren state. I really don't know how many there are!"

"However, thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince's intentions, I only know that the number exceeds 50!"

Xia Tian said meaningfully: "Actually, after 20 years of war in the barren state, the mountains and rivers have been shattered, the population is small, and there is no money or food. They are poor and white, and have nothing!"

"With the current conditions in Huangzhou, even if you want to support the palace of Huangzhou, it will be difficult!"

"However, since they entered the barren state with hope, I can only do my best to keep them from starving to death!"

"In the mountains of Huangzhou, there are a lot of wild fruits, wild vegetables, and mountain products. Before I came here, I have arranged for some people to go to the mountains to collect them, hoping to feed some of them!"

"Then, there are many waterways in the barren state, and there are many fish and shrimps in them. Before the minister came, some fish and shrimps were arranged to let people live first."

"At the same time, my son took out all the gold and silver, and bought some food outside first to cope."

"In the coming year, if the barren state plants food and harvests, it should be much better!"

Emperor Xia frowned: "Xiao Jiu, although you have a compassionate heart, how long can your barren state palace last if this continues?"

"Yes!"

Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian also frowned: "Once there is nothing to eat in the barren state, it will not be a matter of famine!"

"Those untouchables and refugees may riot and attack the palace of the barren state!"

Prince Xia Yu gloated and said, "Father, Prime Minister Zuo, don't forget that Brother Nine Emperors is known as a holy king among the people. We may not be able to do anything about this kind of thing, but he definitely has a way."

"Correct!"

Right Prime Minister Cao Wei quickly echoed, "His Royal Highness King of Huangzhou can survive the 20 Sirius army, how can he not support millions of untouchables and refugees?"

Kill it!

At this time.

Xia Tian suddenly changed the subject and said: "Father, when you destroyed the Acacia Demon Sect and exiled the remaining good witches to the barren state, I think it must be that the father wanted them to change their minds and start a new life, so he personally educated them."

"However, people with a heart spread rumors in the states of Great Xia, saying that the servants can educate even the prostitutes in the lowly family, and that they must be the reincarnation of the saints, and they can live in the barren states."

Speaking of this, Xia Tian complained with righteous indignation: "There are still children's songs singing...go to the barren state, go to see the king of the barren state, life will have hope, life will be healthy, and untouchables will be good!"

"Father, do you think someone is secretly inducing this?"

"If my son's barren state is the richest in the world, but there is only a shortage of people, then the minister will be secretly happy in the barren state!"

"However, Erchen's barren state is poor and empty, and there are so many low-class people and refugees suddenly pouring in... It's just trying to squeeze Erchen dry!"

Emperor Xia was thoughtful when he heard the words: "As you said, the barren state is so poor, it wants to attract people, and it also needs to attract rich people with family property, just like Du Yueer from the Du family!"

"After the ex-Qin eradicated the Eight Kingdoms, in order to make the imperial capital rich, they also brought the rich people from the nine kingdoms here. This has created the prosperity of the imperial capital today."

"If all the poor people were moved to the imperial capital back then, the imperial capital would have to be poor!"

"So, the untouchables and refugees from all over the world poured into the barren state one after another, there must be someone playing tricks behind the scenes."

"Xiao Jiu, who do you think?"

Xia Tian intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the prince and said: "Father, whoever gets lucky in this matter will be suspected!"

When Emperor Xia heard this, he involuntarily glanced at the crown prince and right minister Cao Wei.

Immediately.

The crown prince, right chancellor Cao Wei, and the courtier who just laughed the loudest felt something was wrong.

The Ninth Prince directly put the shit bowl on their heads!

Also buckle very cleverly.

Prince Xia Yu's complexion changed drastically, and he cursed inwardly: "Damn Jiu, you're so ruthless!"

He quickly argued: "Father, this matter was definitely not done by my son."

Right Prime Minister Cao Wei's expression changed drastically, and he cursed inwardly: "Stupid!"

Isn't this 300 taels of silver here?

There was no suspicion of provoking people!

Now, there is!

Emperor Xia frowned: "Since it wasn't the crown prince's fault, why did you come out to clarify yourself?"

The prince was stunned: "I have some quarrels with Brother Nine Emperors, so I'm afraid it's my son's fault that he misunderstood!"

Emperor Xia frowned even deeper: "What's your suspicion?"

The prince is sitting on wax!

He can't say it in public... The Crown Princess was carried to bed by the King of Huangzhou!

Cold sweat, breaking out directly from his body.

Next to him, Prime Minister Cao Wei's face was ashen, wishing he could kill this stupid prince with his head.

Emperor Xia looked at the prince disappointedly and said, "Since you can't tell, then there is no suspicion!"

"Prince, you are now the master of the East Palace and Xiao Jiu's brother. According to the royal rules, you have to take good care of Xiao Jiu and love each other, you understand?"

The prince hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "Yes!"

"My son, please remember!"

Only then did Emperor Xia ask: "My dear friends, regarding the matter of millions of untouchables and refugees going into the desert, do you have any good ways to help the king of the barren state?"

At this time.

The old God Li Jian walked out of the train and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a way to solve the difficulties in the barren state!"

Emperor Xia's face brightened, "Say it quickly!"

Li Jian said seriously: "Allocate tens of millions of catties of grain and tens of millions of taels of silver to the barren state."

"what......"

Manchao Wenwu took a deep breath.

Li Taiwei is really ruthless!

He really dared to open his mouth like a lion!

This is indeed a good way!

However, even the silver to compensate the Sirius Empire had to be taxed in advance to get it together!

Where should the money and food to aid barren states come from?

Li Taiwei, what exactly do you want to do?

Li Jian is in his early years, a member of Tianxia Palace, he always feels that it is not easy!
