Struggle History of the Reborn Son

When Prince Xiao Shiyuan heard the news suddenly, he panicked for a moment, but fortunately, he thought that he should not show timidity when he got up in the court, so he calmed down quickly, and his thoughts gradually became clear.

"Li Aiqing from the Household Department, what is the current population of Xuzhou?"

Li Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came out and replied: "Reporting to His Royal Highness, there are about [-] people in Xuzhou City."

"Okay, order the Ministry of Household Affairs to find out the number of people affected by the disaster in Jianghuai within three days, and raise corresponding silver to prepare for disaster relief."

"His Royal Highness, it is not a problem to find out the number of people affected by the disaster. It is only about money. I dare to ask His Highness, how much silver do you plan to relieve the disaster?" Li Qing trembled with sweat on his head.

"At least 100 million." It is reported that there are nearly 10 people in Xuzhou alone, not to mention the entire Jianghuai, and the dams have to be rebuilt.

Li Qing hurriedly knelt down, and said: "His Royal Highness, calm down, the humble minister is incompetent, the Ministry of Finance just allocated 200 million military reserves a few years ago, and now the treasury can only spend 30 taels at most."

Xiao Shiyuan didn't want to hear this, so he ordered directly: "Li Aiqing don't need to say too much, first prepare the 30 taels of silver, and raise the rest of the silver taels within seven days, or you will pay for it with your life alone!"

Then, Xiao Shiyuan ordered the Ministry of Industry to select [-] skilled craftsmen, and three days later, he set off with the disaster relief army to Jianghuai to support the disaster relief.

Everything seems to have been arranged properly, but Xiao Shiyuan, the general person in charge of the disaster relief, hesitated.

If it was in the past, he would let the fourth brother who supported him go, but now the fourth brother is dead, and the eleventh brother is still young, the seventh and the eighth can take on this important task, but they are born together, in this place he When it was obvious that he wanted to suppress Lao Qi, he was really unwilling to let the two brothers take such a good job as disaster relief.

In the end, Xiao Shiyuan named a distant relative of the clan who came out of nowhere, and Xiao Chengyang, who is currently serving as the commander of the East Palace, will be the general person in charge of the disaster relief in three days.

After coming down to court, Chief Assistant Li Minping couldn't stand it anymore, stopped the leisurely Seventh Prince who was walking in front of him, and said angrily: "Your Highness, there are some words that the old minister has endured for a long time, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

Xiao Shihong had always respected the chief assistant who was a veteran of the two dynasties who was dedicated to the people. He cupped his hands and said, "Master Li, it's okay to say."

Li Minping was a little excited, and his words were a little hasty. He only heard him say: "Your Majesty, your majesty's dragon body is against harmony, and the crown prince intends to block your highness's marriage. It's fine for your highness not to be born. In the midst of this, the old minister really doesn't understand why His Highness the Seventh Highness still doesn't say a word, doesn't His Highness feel pity for the tens of thousands of people who have been affected by the disaster?"

Xiao Shihong looked straight at the old man who was over half a century old in front of him. From Li Minping's clear and angry eyes, he didn't find any darkness or temptation, but Chicheng's love for the people.

Xiao Shihong was a little moved, but he still sighed and replied: "Master Li has overstepped, and now the crown prince is in charge of the country, and the crown prince is the one who takes pity on and loves thousands of people. This king is helpless. What's more, His Royal Highness has just arranged for disaster relief. The king looked at it, and it was very appropriate."

Li Minping listened to Xiao Shihong's words in disbelief, sneered with disdain, and said coldly: "The old minister misunderstood His Highness, please leave!"

Xiao Shihong couldn't help but chased after him for two steps, and said anxiously: "Master Li, please wait a moment, Master Li."

Li Minping stopped in his tracks, but did not turn his head, and said coldly, "What orders does His Royal Highness have? There are still matters in the old minister's residence waiting to be dealt with."

Xiao Shihong said softly: "The matter has not yet been settled, maybe there is a turning point..."

Li Minping turned his head abruptly, looked at Xiao Shihong suspiciously, only to see that Xiao Shihong was standing there leisurely and confidently as before, and the unwillingness in his heart was suddenly relieved.

That night, Li Minping received a personal summon from the chief supervisor at the mansion: His Majesty urgently summoned Lord Li to the palace to discuss matters.

When Li Minping heard the decree delivered by the superintendent Li Ying, he almost burst into tears, and said excitedly: "The old minister has received the decree and entered the palace immediately. It's great, Your Majesty finally woke up!"
