When rivals dress as husband and wife

Chapter 45

"Your Majesty, my minister is incompetent. The flood of the Yellow River spreads, and all the surrounding crops are submerged. Unfortunately, there are not enough manpower and funds to repair the dams, and the disaster relief is really impossible." Zhang Qing, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Industry, knelt on the ground, A beard trembled up and down with the opening and closing of his mouth. The Yellow River was flooded. Zhao Jian first asked him to go to the disaster relief, but he didn't send enough manpower and funds. Ways to thoroughly control floods.

Zhao Jian on the dragon chair sneered, "So what does Zhang Aiqing mean?"

Zhang Qing was speechless for a while, he knew that since Zhao Jian said so, his request would not be granted.

"Sun Hua! Does the Household Department still have money?" Sun Hua was the Minister of the Household Department who was supported by Zhao Jian after he ascended the throne. He also played a lot of roles when he competed with King Qin for the throne.

Sun Hua came out and said respectfully, "My Majesty, the household department has allocated a lot of money for the flood in Jingzhou this summer, and this year's tax has not come up. At present, it is only 50 taels."

"Oh?" Zhao Jian asked back, "Is there really only 50 taels left?"

Sun Hua quickly knelt down and said tremblingly, "I have absolutely no false words, I hope the emperor will see clearly."

"Okay, let's get up!" Zhao Jian raised his hand, with no expression of joy or anger on his face, "Zhang Aiqing, did you hear that? This 50 taels of silver can't even support the people in the capital. How do you get there?" Disaster relief by the Yellow River? You didn’t think of a way yourself but came here to embarrass me, you are indeed incompetent!”

"My minister is guilty, my minister is guilty." Zhang Qing had no choice but to kneel on the ground and plead guilty, while Lin Lian clenched his fist beside him, 50 taels, isn't this a lie to a child?How could there be such a small amount of money in the treasury of such a large country, even if there were many disasters this year, and the cost of the death of the late emperor would be high, but no matter how poor it is, it is impossible to be so poor.

"Since you don't have the ability, then find someone who is capable. I still don't believe it. I can't find anyone who can cure the flood in my great summer!" Zhao Jian snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan." At this time, Yushi Zhongcheng Wang Lan came out and said.

"Say." Zhao Jian raised his hand to signal him to speak.

"Your Majesty, if we don't have manpower, we will recruit migrant workers. If we don't have money, we will levy commercial taxes. Since the Yellow River flooded, those peasants have no land to grow. It's better to help the court control the flood, and it's for themselves."

Which of the ministers present didn't know that all the merchants had paid the commercial tax, and if they asked others to pay at this moment, wouldn't the merchants have nowhere to go?As for the migrant workers, they already have complaints about losing money and land. If migrant workers are called to repair the dam, then the people will complain even more.

But it was such a bad idea that Zhao Jian readily agreed.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Lord Lin has been praised by all the people for his governance of the flood in Jingzhou. At this time, Lord Lin should also be sent to the Yellow River. I believe that with Lord Lin's intervention, the matter will be resolved soon." Seeing Zhao Jian, Wang Lan agreed with him. point of view, hastily added another sentence.

Zhao Jian laughed twice, "I also have this intention, but Lin Aiqing has objections."

Lin Li'an took a deep breath, stepped out, and said loudly, "Minister, lead the order."

"Okay!" Zhao Jian laughed loudly, "As expected of being the son of Marquis Ding."

Lin Li'an said, "However, I still have a plan to control the water, please let the emperor give me a word."

Zhao Jian was happy in his heart, so naturally he would not stop him.

Lin Li'an said, "The king is the role model of the officials, and the officials are the role model of the people. Today's imperial decree makes merchants donate money, but my servants of Daxia have nothing to say. Is it inappropriate?"

Before Zhao Jian could react, there were courtiers around him who seconded the proposal to donate, and many people even reported the amount.

Zhao Jian had no choice but to agree to Lin Li'an's request, and promised that he would also donate money as a token of his heart.

At this moment in the court, there are some people who are happy and some people are sad, and the hearts and livers of those who are good at money are hurting.Who told Zhao Jian to send a message just now, the amount of the donation is based on the salary, donating half a year's salary can only be more, not less.

--------------------

Waiting for Lin Muan to fall asleep is a very long process. Gu Jiangwan tried his best to breathe lightly to create the illusion that he was already asleep. After Lin Muan fell asleep, Gu Jiangwan took his left hand, fingers Gently caught his pulse.

Once, twice, three times, Lin Muan's pulse beat against Gu Jiangwan's heart like a drumstick. No wonder, no wonder he didn't let himself feel the pulse just now, so he already knew it.

Gu Jianwan slowly caressed Lin Muan's pale face. He would definitely feel his own pulse for such a serious reaction just now, so what is he going to do with this child.If he didn't tell himself whether he didn't want it or wanted to kill him secretly, he didn't believe that Lin Muan would have such a cruel heart, but he didn't know whether Lin Muan could completely accept such a thing.Gu Jiangwan gently stroked Lin Muan's palm, not knowing what mood he was in for a moment.

Sleepless all night, this is something that Gu Jianwan has never experienced before.At sunrise, Lin Muan was still asleep, and Gu Jiangwan got out of bed lightly.He thought about it for a long time last night. Since Lin Muan didn't want to tell him, then so be it. He pretended not to know, and Lin Muan also pretended not to know. As long as he was careful and took good care of him, the child should be fine. As for the child's Whether to stay or not, Lin Mu'an will be his life and death.Well, if he really doesn't want to...

"What time is it?" Gu Qiaowan was still thinking to himself, but Lin Muan's question interrupted his thoughts.

"Ah? Oh, it's about time." Looking at Lin Muan's blue eye circles, Gu Jianwan still added, "If you still feel uncomfortable, sleep a little longer, and I'll bring you breakfast. "

Lin Muan nodded, "Okay."

Gu Qiaowan got dressed and got out of bed, Ling Feng waited outside, "Master, the person we rescued yesterday woke up."

Gu Qiaowan nodded, "Wait for a while." After speaking, he went downstairs.

The boss was settling accounts at the counter, seeing Gu Jiangwan came down and hurriedly greeted him, Gu Qiaowan walked up to him and said, "Prepare a breakfast, add some sauerkraut, have lean meat porridge, and some sweet and sour fruits."

The boss smiled and said, "Dare to ask Mr. Gu, is Ling Fulang pregnant?"

"Yes." Gu Jiangwan admitted generously, "So he must be extra careful in preparing his diet, so that no mistakes can be made."

"Okay, okay, I'm here to congratulate Mr. Gu first." The boss quickly agreed, and congratulated him by the way, "Mr. Gu and Lingfulang are both heavenly figures, and Lin'er will be very cute in the future."

Gu Qiaowan smiled, "I accept your good words."

After Gu Jiangwan left, Lin Muan kept leaning on the head of the bed, with his hands on his lower abdomen unconsciously. He didn't know how to deal with this problem. He couldn't bear to get rid of it. After all, it was still a small life, and it was A child connected with his own blood; staying behind is difficult to accept. In the past twenty years, he has never thought that he would be pregnant. This is too incredible, as incredible as Mars hitting the earth.

"Mu An, if you have a child, no matter what your situation or mood at the time, you have to keep him. I have already lost it once, and I don't want you to repeat my mistake." What Ye Chuan said to him, he didn't take it seriously that day, but he didn't expect to face this kind of problem today.Ye Chuan, did he already expect his embarrassment, that's why he said that, warned himself like this, don't do things that make him regret.

"Come on, let's have some." Lin Muan was still thinking, but Gu Jianwan had already brought in breakfast and put it on the table.

Lin Mu'an nodded and got out of bed to wash. He still felt a little nauseous while rinsing his mouth. He didn't expect the reaction to be so violent. If it goes on like this, it must be impossible to hide it.

Sitting in front of the table, Lin Muan looked at the breakfast in front of him, then glanced at the sour fruit over there, but said nothing.

Picking up the chopsticks to taste the sauerkraut, he finally suppressed his nausea a bit. After taking a few mouthfuls, Lin Muan put down the chopsticks and looked up at Gu Jiangwan and said, "Did you know?"

Gu Jiangwan sighed, sat in front of him and said, "Yes."

Lin Mu'an closed his eyes, without saying a word, Gu Jiangwan held his hand and said, "I know you can't accept it now, but I still hope that you can give the child and us a chance."

Lin Muan nodded, "Let me think about it again."

"Okay, in a few days, no matter what decision you make, I won't object to it." Gu Jianwan pulled him closer, "Eat more now, and go to sleep after eating, look at your blue eyes It looks like it."

"You should look at yourself, you didn't sleep at all last night, right?" Lin Muan withdrew his hand, took a mouthful of lean meat porridge with a spoon, and tasted it. Unexpectedly, the porridge made in this small shop is not bad, even if he is now In this situation, there is nothing disgusting.

"How is it? Does it taste okay? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Seeing him take a sip, Gu Jiangwan asked quickly.

"No, it's pretty good." Lin Muan shook his head and said, "Not bad."

A little smile appeared on Gu Jianwan's face. The reaction in the first trimester can be big or small. He was afraid that Lin Mu'an would be the kind of person who couldn't swallow a bite of food. He still remembered when his aunt was pregnant, and it really put the whole family together. The torment is crazy, but grandma puts all her effort into making delicious food for her, but she can't get any nutrition in, so she can only watch her lose weight a little bit. Fortunately, Lin Muan is not that serious, "By the way, we rescued her yesterday. That person has already woken up, and now Ling Feng is taking care of him, I went to check, nothing is life-threatening."

"That's good." Lin Mu'an said, "Let's go and have a look with you after I eat."
