Later, I became the prince of the group

Chu Yan, a courtier in the court, had never seen any of them, but he had heard almost all of them.

Compared with Chu Yan's plain reaction, the curiosity in the eyes of several ministers who sneaked over when they entered the door could hardly be hidden.

Chu Yan continued to practice his handwriting as if nothing had happened, and did not delay listening to Liulu.

Judging from the titles, the one on the left is Lord Deng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the one on the right is Mr. Li and Yang, who are the favorite ministers of the emperor.

This incident seems to be related to the border. Since the Northern Qi was stable, both sides bowed their heads in the northwest.

However, the north has suffered severe drought for two consecutive years, and the grains have not been harvested. Not only have the granaries been exhausted, but even the roots of edible weeds have been gnawed. The people couldn't survive, so they moved their families to the south and became refugees.

It was originally discussed when going to court a few days ago, and a governor was sent to take the refugees from the north to Shengzhou and other places to settle down, and send them back after the spring.However, the northern Turks also sent letters asking for help, saying that it was freezing outside the Great Wall, and their lives could not go on. They hoped that Northern Qi could set aside a piece of land to accommodate some refugees.

Emperor Chengxing got a headache when he heard this group of people say "I can't go on", this group of people is no better than the Hu people, once they say they can't go on, it may be a military disaster within two years.But if this is how refugees from other races were let in, Emperor Chengxing would not be so thoughtless.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Turks have been subject to them for several years but their hearts are not dead. We must fortify them. Who knows who are the so-called refugees?" Li Daren said.

Master Yang said: "I think so, but my Qi Dynasty has been using the word 'benevolence' to attract the hearts of foreigners in recent years. If you directly refuse, it will hurt the friendship between the two countries. The other border countries may also have concerns. Even if people enter the country, they still need to help them.”

The two sang and talked for a long time, but they didn't put forward any constructive suggestions. Deng Shangshu knew that this was to force his household department to pay, and immediately became an invisible person, without saying a word.

As Chu Yan wrote the word, a note was handed over beside him, and he wrote: These people are really talking nonsense.

Chu Yan ignored him, and handed over another one after a while: What do you think should be done about this matter?

Chu Yan didn't know what to do, but he knew that if Deng Shangshu continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb, Emperor Chengxing would be angry.

Deng Shangshu was also a man of good sense, and when he heard that the two were still rambling to lure him to come forward, he had no choice but to step forward and say, "Your Majesty, there is no need to let these people enter the customs, just spend some money. It's just that I'm worried that there are too many people, and I won't be able to provide so much clothing and food. Although the government's expenditure has been meager in recent years, after all, the income of the household department has not been sufficient after two years of tax cuts. There are still so many refugees in the north, and they have to keep warm and eat..."

Deng Shangshu seemed to come out to make an idea, but in fact he threw the problem back. The Ministry of Households can pay, but there is not so much money. Your Majesty, are you caring about your own people, or the refugees from foreign countries who don't know the truth? ?

Emperor Chengxing pressed his forehead: "Foreigners are not allowed to enter the country, but this disaster must be suppressed. Since Zhu Qing has no idea now, go back and think about it. Deng Qing listed the expenses and spare funds needed to settle the refugees in the north. , we will discuss it tomorrow in the Great Court."

The four adults all agreed to leave.

When Chu Rui saw that it was time to express his filial piety, he got up to serve tea to Emperor Chengxing: "Father, don't worry, the adults may not have no ideas, but it's not the critical moment right now, so they don't want to use the method of sacrificing money."

The two Hanlins simply didn't want to offend the Ministry of Household Affairs by speaking too bluntly in front of Mr. Deng. If Mr. Deng were not here today, they might have made waves one after another. As for Mr. Deng, the treasury has been abundant in recent years, even if the tax revenue is insufficient , It may not be impossible to spend the money, but if the money is all spent on it, then you have to think about the next year if there is a severe drought in the north, or if there is any natural disaster in the south, where will the money come from?

Today is a prosperous age, and the tax cut policy was only released two years ago, and the people are still happily shouting "Long live the benevolent king", unless it is absolutely necessary, it is naturally impossible for Emperor Chengxing to want to shake the hearts of the people.

Emperor Chengxing was in a moody mood, and glanced at him: "I'm not in a hurry, but I think you should be in a hurry. The ministers of the court are here, and you dare to pass a note in full view. When you go back, you also write a note." Zhezi go."

Chu Rui choked, then smiled again, and coaxed with a smile: "I'll go back to write the notebooks there, maybe my son will finish writing the notebooks, and you will be able to solve this matter."

Emperor Chengxing picked up the scroll next to him and knocked his head: "Dream, it would be nice if you could write the scripture clearly."

When Emperor Chengxing was 14 years old, he was already at the age of starting to do business. Every time there was an issue that could not be resolved in court, he had to write a copy of his thoughts and submit them to the emperor.However, this third son is really disappointing. In terms of academic strategy, he is really inferior to his second brother. I don't know if he was spoiled or born like this.

Emperor Chengxing couldn't help thinking that the second child who was too slippery and didn't like him very much, and even... the eldest who had suffered for many years, was much calmer than Chu Rui in terms of character.

Chu Rui left first, and Emperor Chengxing turned his attention to Chu Yan: "Boss, why don't you talk about it, there are some useful methods for this matter."

Chu Yan put down his pen: "Just listening to it like this, I naturally have some ideas, but I don't understand everything, and it may not be feasible to say it. It is said that the bystanders know clearly, or it may be that the bystanders don't have so much consideration in their minds."

Emperor Chengxing didn't care, and chuckled lightly: "It's just a way of saying, it's all right, let's listen to it."

Chu Yan: "For foreigners to enter the pass, you can see which pass it is. The northern refugees went south, and those houses happened to be vacant. You can borrow them first. As long as the frontier soldiers have enough hands and strictly control the city gates, they will not pass." Affects the customs. Just now I heard from you adults that most of the refugees who went south came from the border. There were wars in the north a few years ago, and the people in the border often ran back and forth between several cities. The layout is simple, so it’s better to change all the beds in these refugees’ homes into kangs, and when foreigners come, let several people live in one room, give them some firewood, and let them burn it themselves.”

The child is holding the history book every day, he just looks at it casually, who knows that it is not for nothing, and he also knows some people's feelings.

Emperor Chengxing didn't show a strange look on his face: "You said it was easy, but have you ever thought about how much money it will cost to burn a kang all day long in winter when charcoal is scarce?"

Chu Yan shook his head: "Of course it is impossible to burn the kang all day long. As long as there is not much firewood, they will save it, and they can also add some charcoal ash to it. Time is enough. As for other times, huh, he has lived through many cold winters outside the Great Wall, and he still doesn’t know how to keep out the cold? The refugees they are talking about must not be slaves. As long as they are not slaves, there will naturally be no shortage of winter clothes. They bring it by themselves. If it is not enough, teach them how to make paper fur and let them do it by themselves. They are given a place, a house, a kang, and a kang burner. This is considered to be comprehensive. If there are still people who freeze to death by then, it’s only God to blame.”

Chu Yan smiled disapprovingly: "After all, they can't even survive the Turks, can they?"

Emperor Chengxing: "Listen to your tone, do you believe that they really can't go on?"

Chu Yan said: "It may be true that some people can't survive. The Turkic side will not be confident enough to send some refugees to sneak into the pass. As for using the misery of the refugees as a bedding, there is no need to send troops in the future. Di People don't want such face. The Turkic people are mixed, and I guess there will be some disputes. Some foreigners obey the Khan, and some have no choice but to submit. Most of the precious food and food are concentrated in the hands of the Turks. Naturally, they want to give Those who don't want to raise them can be pushed to Northern Qi to borrow the light of the title of "subject country". Anyway, in addition to guarding against them, Northern Qi also has to guard against other small border countries, so there are too many worries. It's an excellent way to take advantage of it without shame."

Emperor Chengxing sneered, part of this sneer was for the Turk, and part was for Chu Yan. His words were not unreasonable, but they were unpleasant after all, but he insisted on speaking so bluntly, without being tactful at all. .

But Chu Yan seemed to have not received any signal: "However, even if some of these people died in Northern Qi, the Turkic Khan would not care, as long as he wants to spend a little money to hang their lives, take care of them Cold or hungry. Besides, it’s not a good thing to let them feel warm and full. When you go back and tell Khan that Northern Qi is so rich, it’s over, and the military power you just took back will have to be returned to Lord Liu.”

Emperor Chengxing: "..."

That's all, this kid has a stable temperament, but after all, he has not been taught to behave in the world, he is not aware of many things, and it is not his fault that he speaks badly.

Thinking about it carefully, it is really surprising that I can say such a thing without learning anything.

Thinking about it again, it’s a good thing to speak badly. The gang of ministers flatter and flatter every day. One dare not speak up, and those dare not speak up. Even Yushi has learned how to be wise and protect himself. It's a bit greasy, and it's not a bad thing to have someone with a direct argument around you.

Wait, think too far, Chu Yan has just recovered from a serious illness...

I saw that after Chu Yan finished speaking, he didn't see a response for a long time. He raised the corner of his eyes and showed an expression of "anyway, that's it": "This is what I want, maybe some... some words are inappropriate. Forgive me."

Now that he had finished his high-spirited speeches, he became respectful again, and Emperor Chengxing finally saw that, in fact, it was not that this son didn't know that some of his words were offensive, but he just let himself go as he pleased.He is not used to getting along with such respect and respect. He was ignorant during the 13 years in the Ciyi Palace. The appearance of the body.

Emperor Chengxing beckoned and asked Chu Yan to come closer: "It's okay, what you said is good, beyond my expectation, but there are still some incomplete parts, look..."

Chu Yan approached, and saw Emperor Chengxing write a word on the white paper with a red pen: Min.

"If you do what you said, then the people who originally lived in the frontier must also find ways to resettle them. Have you considered that if they know that their houses are still available for people to live in, they will definitely want to come back..."

Then he wrote the word "grain".

"The Turkic people must have something to eat when they come here. Now that the north can't even get food for the refugees, how can they feed and drink for these people? Even if you open the treasury to lend money to collect food, you have to be close to your own people first, right? Only paper and charcoal are used, and the expenses required are not "spend a small amount of money" in your mouth, so add up, not to mention that Deng Shangshu is not willing to take money, even I have to carefully estimate..."

After listening for a while, Chu Yan realized that it was Emperor Chengxing who wanted to explain political affairs to him, so he put on a focused face and calmly focused on two tasks.While listening to this knowledge, he was thinking in his heart what kind of degree he should hold towards Emperor Chengxing's attitude.

When Emperor Feng Chengxing talked about the main points, Chu Yan would naturally infer other things from one instance, and when he shouldn't express himself, he seemed to be just curious about these things.

In the end, this "degree" really pleased Emperor Chengxing. When Chu Yan went back, he took a dozen books. Emperor Chengxing didn't ask him to write his own notes on these books, but just let him learn what he should know through these books.

"Wait." Just as Chu Yan was about to leave the imperial study, Emperor Chengxing stopped him again, "You want to marry a male concubine, and I have agreed."

Chu Yan: "..."

He really didn't think about it.

Emperor Chengxing said earnestly: "But you can't miss the heir's important matter... go."

Chu Yan walked out of the house according to his words, looked at the door and recollected the meaningful eyes of Emperor Chengxing for a while, and suddenly had an ominous premonition...
