Empress snatches dried fish

"Your Majesty, I believe that this flood is different from a drought. During the rainy season, it is fast and hard to resist. And this flood must not be blocked. Blocking it upstream will indeed solve the problem for a while, but if the amount of water increases..."

The young courtier said a few words cautiously, seeing that Shu Yonghe not only did not interrupt him but kept nodding, he mustered up the courage to continue.

Geng Bai'an knew him, he was Li Guoxing, the servant of the Ministry of Industry who had just taken office not long ago.Although he doesn't talk much at ordinary times, he can always get to the point every time. After a few months, Geng Bai'an has a deep impression on him.At this time, not only Chongguo, but every neighboring country is trying to "block" the flood as much as possible.Building embankments and dams can last for a few years if they are completed safely, but no matter how thick the embankment is, it will always be washed away.

Geng Bai'an has read books for more than ten years, so he naturally knows the truth of "blocking is worse than sparse", but Li Guoxing can find the disadvantages in the methods that have been used for many years and can think of them. Such a far-sightedness is not easy in this era.And even if Li Guoxing didn't say anything, Shu Yonghe and Geng Bai'an planned to do a big job after cleaning up the scum.

She looked at the faces of those old courtiers again, tsk tsk, they were almost green.

Shu Yonghe's thinking was naturally the same as Geng Bai'an's, he immediately agreed with Li Guoxing's thinking, and immediately ordered him to go to Quyang to dredge the waterway.Right now is a good time for Li Guoxing to make contributions, so naturally he would like to thank Shu Yonghe a lot, and Shu Yonghe also intends to train him.

If he still does not collude with corrupt officials in the future as he does now, coupled with the awareness of advanced innovation in his mind, he is really a talent.

The old courtiers who were "robbed" of credit by Li Guoxing were not happy here. As soon as Li Guoxing thanked him and knelt down, an old courtier stood up and said, "Your Majesty, [-] silver dishes are not many at all. The situation is that disaster relief is already very tight, and now it is a drop in the bucket to dredge the river."

Yo, here we come!

Shu Yonghe's eyes suddenly showed a different look, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth made him look very...excited?

Geng Bai'an frowned, and looked back.That's right.It seems that this guy is about to start messing around.

Thinking about the reason why they separated yesterday because Shu Hongyu came to find Shu Yonghe, Geng Bai'an simply relaxed his sitting posture, put one hand gently on the armrest, and waited quietly to watch the play.As a result, Shu Yonghe turned his head and winked at himself, crazily implying that he was talking, and immediately understood what Shu Yonghe wanted to piss him off, so he could only purse his mouth and get serious.

Forget it, since Shu Yonghe behaved like this, there must be sufficient evidence, so let yourself claim the merit.

"Thirty thousand silver plates, a drop in the bucket?"

Geng Bai Andi, who has been listening to the sidelines for the past two months and has hardly spoken much, looked down at his fingernails, and once took the initiative to speak: "Wang Shangshu, what is your monthly salary?"

"Going back to Empress Empress, the minister's monthly salary is ten silver plates."

"Then are these ten silver plates enough for your family of four to spend for the month?"

When Wang Shangshu heard this, his face changed slightly. After all, when he was young, he was also Li Guoxing who came to this court with such vigor and talent, and he was not a fool after having been in the officialdom for so many years.But now Geng Bai'an specifically asked him, but he had no choice but to answer: "It's enough."

"Of course it is enough." Geng Bai'an was no longer gentle and calm before, and his aura suddenly became fierce: "I think you all know that I lost my mother since I was young, and my father has been fighting outside all the year round. I grew up with my elder brother. But maybe no one You know, not long after my mother passed away, I have been in charge of the finances of the entire General’s Mansion. The head of the country’s monthly salary is fifteen silver dishes, but he has been at the border for many years, there is no cost, and I get fourteen a month. Silver plate."

"Back then, I was able to save at least six silver discs every month after I got rid of the various expenses of my palace and elder brother and various expenses in the house. In recent years, Chongguo's economy has prospered, and there have been many novelties. Even so, it can Save four. After my father comes back, I can still spare one every month."

Geng Bai'an wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule this group of people, but the more he said it, the angrier he became.She had only seen this kind of traitorous officials and corrupt officials from TV, novels, and comics, but now that she was faced with such a face, she wished she could directly order him to be imprisoned in the prison.

She could only stop to adjust her breathing, and continued: "Perhaps you think that this palace is petty, but running a country is different from running a family? You and I wear good clothes, eat good food, remove the monthly money of the servants in the mansion, and repair the house." Each person spends less than two silver plates per month, and the needs of the common people are nothing more than simple tea and light food. One silver bead is enough for a family to live for half a year. One silver plate is equal to five silver beads, and the entire Quyang There are only [-] people, and all the victims are asking for is enough to eat, so where does this 'extreme poverty' come from?"

Facing Geng Bai'an's aggressiveness, Wang Shangshu was very annoyed with her in his heart. He never thought that the queen who usually kept silent and acted like a display would directly stand up at this time.

Generally, the one who becomes the queen is the lady of the family. In this kind of family, the person who manages the finances is the mistress of the house. If there is no one, then it is the housekeeper.So they don't know anything about folk livelihoods, and can only infer what he said from their usual expenses.But who would have thought that Geng Yi, a vulgar man, would trust almost all his salary to a young girl for management?

He also never expected that Geng Bai'an has been responsible for the distribution of the family since he was a child, and Geng Yi is really as clean as the legend says.

Wang Shangshu was so stunned that he was speechless, and another person stood up: "Please forgive me, the queen, Wang Shangshu is from a family, and it is inevitable that he will be negligent in these matters."

"Oh, Chen Shilang is saying that the empress was born as a commoner, so that's why she understands people's livelihood so well?" Shu Yonghe slapped the counter pretending to be angry: "The Geng family was a general when they founded the country, and it has continued for many generations. Studying? He is not an official? But the queen, a woman in the inner house, can understand these things so well. As the courtiers of Da Chong, you don’t understand that, so what do you know? Do the people live and die, and take the opportunity to make a fortune?!"

Geng Bai'an turned his head and took a look. It seemed that Soy Milk had indeed collected key evidence. These were all powerful old courtiers. If he didn't have any evidence in hand, he wouldn't expose it immediately given his character.

Turning his head to look at Shu Hongyu who was also kneeling in the hall, he smiled and looked at Shu Yonghe with admiration.No need to think about it, he must have helped a lot.

But now Shu Yonghe is getting more and more into the role of emperor.

As Shu Yonghe was talking, he took out some basic memorials and some account books from nowhere and threw them in front of Wang Shangshu: "The memorials for your secret impeachment have piled up here, and these account books, Wang Shangshu, do you want them?" have a look?"

Geng Bai'an took some account books and memorials that Shu Yonghe had missed and flipped through them at random, he was stunned: "It turns out that this 'difficulty' came about. Layers of exploitation, disaster relief money is in place, and ten of them don't save one. Your appetite is really big enough .”

[-] silver discs are [-] gold discs, and the circulation of gold discs is not as convenient as silver discs, so silver discs are usually used as the counting unit for disaster relief funds.The item she just saw was also a disaster relief fund. When it was allocated, it was [-] silver dishes, but when it arrived in the disaster area, there were only [-] silver dishes.

The parents and officials in the disaster area were either cooperating with them, or were killed by them in every possible way.What's even more ridiculous is that some of them were dubbed "unfavorable for disaster relief" and had their heads chopped off.

The disaster that was supposed to be filled with [-] silver plates turned out to be only [-]. Even if you let the emperor go in person, there is nothing you can do.

As he said that, the memory of the original owner appeared in Geng Bai'an's mind again, and he couldn't help laughing: "No wonder, no wonder I used to see Wang Shangshu's daughter appearing in Wanbaozhai in the past. I bought two or three gold plates at random, and even laughed at him. I am too petty, and those who don’t know think that Wang Shangshu’s monthly salary is ten gold plates instead of silver plates.”

"Looking at it now, it's really not that Bengong's father is incapable..." Geng Bai'an's smile faded, and angrily smashed the memorial in his hand at Wang Shangshu's head: "It's that Miss Wang's father is too capable!"

Snapped!hit.Her accuracy is much better than soybean milk.

Wang Shangshu was hit on the head, fell to the side, and then picked up a few books in a panic and flipped through them. He was so frightened that he almost lost his footing, and knelt down in front of Shu Yonghe with a trembling voice. The dying struggle: "The emperor must not believe these fabricated evidences, there are traitors who want to frame the minister! Please check clearly!"

"All these evidences are collected bit by bit by my close people, and I will organize them myself..." Shu Yonghe laughed, and pointed his nose with his index finger: "A traitor? Wang Shangshu is talking about me?"

Shu Hongyu said lightly with a smile: "Since Wang Shangshu thinks that the emperor is a traitor, how about I let you sit in this seat?"

Shu Hongyu shouldn't have said such words, but according to his relationship with Shu Yonghe, no one thought there was anything wrong, and Shu Yonghe didn't mind at all.

Wang Shangshu was speechless, and sat down with his eyes blank, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

Seeing this, Geng Bai'an waved his hand: "Someone here will take him down and suppress him, and wait for what happens."

Shu Yonghe looked at Wang Shangshu with disgust: "Now that the evidence is convincing, there is no need to waste time. Master, you go and arrest all the accomplices on the list yourself, and send them all to the cell. By the way, ransack the house , and everything goes into the national treasury. As for how to punish them, let me think about it."

"The minister takes orders!"

"Wait a minute, general." Shu Hongyu came out and bowed his hands to Shu Yonghe: "As for their punishment, can the emperor listen to his ministers?"
