I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

The bamboo slips have been reviewed, and it's time for him to go back.

As for the matter of the Chu State Mission, whoever wants to make troubles can do whatever they want.

After all, to a certain extent, Chu State is causing Song Jue to be assassinated and injured, which just allows Chu State to play the bitter game, sell it badly, and gain some benefits in the negotiation.

But right now, some idiots in the mission of the Chu State will break into the Honglu Temple with swords. This is simply ignoring the majesty of Dagan's court, and instantly made Song Jue's injuries useless.

However, one had to wonder if someone had given some hint that the emissary had just happened to find his office.

After all, if you really want to give advice, you should go to the office of Honglu Temple Minister Luo Wenlun.

This matter needs to be investigated.

The last time he dared to go to his house to arrange someone to assassinate him, but this time he even managed to collude with the envoys of Chu State, so the next time will undoubtedly be even more dangerous.

There must be a counterattack!

At present, he is at least an official of Honglu Temple. Although he has no power in his hands, he should still be able to operate some things.

"Give me a fulcrum, and I will be able to leverage the entire Daqian, and this fulcrum is Zhao Yuehan!"

Lin Xuan tidied up his clothes, walked out of Honglu Temple, went home from get off work, and went fishing.

……

"...In view of the lack of officials in various ministries and divisions and the lack of officials in various ministries and departments, I decided to open a department to recruit talents from all over the world. I will recruit all states and counties, and recommend talents to come to heaven for public assessments and arrange positions. manage.

Ladies and gentlemen, if there are talents in the family who recommend you, you can also recommend them to participate in this assessment.

Appreciate this! "

The chief eunuch, An Yiyan, finished reading the imperial decree and stood aside.

In the main hall, all the officials looked at each other and whispered, as if they were very happy with the content of this edict.

You know, the lack of officials in the three counties of the Wei State and the one state of the Chu State is not a small number, but if there are children of the Mortal Clan who can go to such a place to experience and make some achievements, they will return to Tiandu in the future. It must be an important member of the Daqian court and the mainstay of the family.

In particular, the eyes of a few officials who were late and worried that it would be difficult to arrange the children of the clan into the court because of their connections, their eyes lit up instantly.

Generally speaking, His Majesty's recruitment this time is beneficial to all their family officials.

At this time, even Sima Zhao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, could not help but become weird when he heard the imperial decree.

At least according to the information obtained from the imperial decree, it is very beneficial to their aristocratic family.

However, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.

Is it just to implement the cabinet system, a kind of compensation for the aristocratic family?

In any case, this plan can quickly fill the official vacancies in the three counties of Wei State and one state of Chu State, and it can even be said that they are completely divided up by aristocratic families like them.

This kind of appeasement must have been thought up by the Queen Mother.

In short, there is no reason to refuse.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Sima Zhao was the first to agree with the imperial decree.

The rest followed suit one after another, praising the empress Ji Handan for her wise actions, which made Ji Handan very happy.

Because she could hear that the praise of these officials today came from the heart and from the bottom of their hearts.

With the foundation of this time, the implementation of the imperial examination system in the future will be very smooth.

The only question is how to keep Lin Xuan?

How to make Lin Xuan stay in Dagan willingly.

Ji Handan fell into deep thought about this.

I don't know what's going on, but when I think of Lin Xuan, I think of the fish made by Lin Xuan, it's really delicious.

"Okay, the cabinet will draw up a plan on this matter and send it to the states and counties." Ji Handan looked at the civil and military officials, "Is there anything else you want to report?"

"Your Majesty, Xiangzhou suffered floods in April and severe drought in July, and the farmlands failed to harvest. The drought has caused millions of famine refugees. I request the imperial court to distribute grain for disaster relief and eliminate the disaster."

At this time, Shangshu stood up silently, holding an elephant wat and said.

Chapter 55 This shouldn't be many?

There is a famine in Xiangzhou, and there are millions of refugees? !

Empress Ji Handan took a deep breath and asked, "I have passed the decree that the states and counties of Xiangzhou will open warehouses to release grain, and the rest of the country will raise food and grass to support Xiangzhou in disaster relief!

From now on, the cabinet and the Fengbi Department will be suspended, and the important affairs of the court will be presided over by the Pojun Mansion.

The Chief of Pojun Mansion is headed by Liu Zongheng and Sima Zhao! "

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce said in a deep voice: "Observe the order!"

Sima Zhao and Liu Zongheng said in unison: "Observe the order!"

Xiangzhou has always been the core area of ​​Dagan. Whether it is the source of soldiers or food, it has a considerable dependence on Xiangzhou.

It's just that who would have thought that Xiangzhou would face a once-in-a-century drought after experiencing floods.

In order to fight around, the large amount of food and grass stored in Dagan has been exhausted.

As for the granaries in the counties and counties of Xiangzhou, there are probably not many left in them.

Things are tricky.

The millions of famine refugees must be settled as well as possible, otherwise no matter where these refugees go, they will turn the local area into a corrupt place and create more refugees.

At that time, Chu and Wei are very likely to hear the news and move.

In the absence of food and grass, even if she can fight, it will be difficult to support the next war.

Handing over the matter to the Pojun Mansion and skipping the wrangling process between the cabinet and the Fengbi Division will greatly improve the efficiency of the court in dealing with the famine.

However, it is still far from enough to follow the previous strategies to deal with famines.

In the final analysis, there is still a lack of food.

After all, in the previous few wars, the queen mother had already worked hard to raise food and grass.

After going down to court, the empress Ji Handan habitually wanted to go to the Taining Palace, but recalled her mother's body, and finally recovered.

"Lin Xuan!"

Thinking of this, Empress Ji Handan went back to her bedroom and changed into her private clothes, brought a few guards with her, and walked towards Yongle Lane.

As for his uncle Li Lin, if he doesn't need to go to the cabinet to review the bamboo slips every day after he goes to court, he will directly stay in the Zhao Mansion in Yongle Lane on standby.

After all, if Lin Xuan came to visit one day, she and the queen mother would not be in the entire Zhao residence, which would inevitably make Lin Xuan suspicious.

When she arrived at Yongle Lane, she became Zhao Yuehan, a small official in the Ministry of Commerce.

Taking the old servant Li Mu with them, the two quickly walked towards the familiar small courtyard in Yongle Lane.

"Your Majesty, does Boy Lin really have a way to deal with the millions of famine refugees in Xiangzhou?"

The old servant Li Mu was a little uncertain about this matter.

After all, this seems to have exceeded Lin Xuan's ability.

However, he doesn't seem to know the extent of Lin Xuan's ability.

"After years of fighting, the food and grass in the counties and counties of Dagan has been almost exhausted. Even if I let the counties and counties of Xiangzhou open warehouses to release grain, there is not much food to use."

"Although the Pojun Mansion is effective in handling government affairs, what should we do if we face floods and famines again in the future?"

"So, I want to ask Lin Xuan for a surefire solution."

"..."

The old servant Li Mu nodded.

It is true to say so, but if you ask too many questions like this, it is inevitable that there will be no guarantee that Lin Xuan will not become suspicious.

"Well, Your Majesty, if Lin Xuan doubts your identity..."

Right now, Lin Xuan will answer every question, because he trusts Zhao Yuehan as a good friend, and from the perspective that everyone is the remnant of the former nobles in Yongle Lane.

However, once Lin Xuan realized something was wrong and discovered that Zhao Yuehan was the empress Ji Handan who could kill him, things would be difficult.

Especially Lin Xuan said so much in front of the Empress.

"Even if he finds out, so what?" Zhao Yuehan said, "He wants to cancel the restriction that the remnants of the nobles of the previous dynasty are not allowed to leave Tiandu, I will give it to him! If he wants to get rid of the status of the remnants of the nobles of the previous dynasty, I can also forgive him."

"Also, didn't he say he wanted to marry the current empress?"

"At that time, I will stand in front of him and see what he will say!"

"..."

The old servant Li Mu took a deep breath.

He really wanted to pretend that he had never heard this, but he couldn't block his memory.

Thinking about His Majesty's straight temper, it has something to do with leading troops for a long time.

After all, in the army, speaking must be straightforward and simple, otherwise, how can a group of soldiers born in hardship understand the general's orders and intentions?

Also, is His Majesty joking or not joking when he said this?

With such doubts, Zhao Yuehan led the old servant Li Mu to the small courtyard of the Lin family.

In the small courtyard, the coachman Lao Xu was not there, nor was Lin Xuan.

Probably because he went out on business and didn't come back for a while.

Sitting under the grape trellis was a little Luoli, holding a brush, copying and practicing calligraphy on the yellowed leaves.

There are two plates next to the pen and ink, and a few golden corns that look like golden pearls are piled on one plate.

On another plate was a corn with a half-eaten golden pearl.

This thing looks like it can be eaten?

However, in the palace, Zhao Yuehan thought he had never seen this kind of food.

"Ah, Master Zhao!"

Xiao Luoli noticed Zhao Yuehan's arrival and knew that this was the master's friend, so she quickly put down her pen and saluted.

"Hmm." Zhao Yuehan came over, looked at the corn on the plate and asked, "What is this pearl-like thing, your lunch?"

Xiao Luoli introduced: "The master said it's called corn. It's sweet and glutinous. It's delicious. I'll be full after eating half of it."

corn?

Zhao Yuehan turned around and glanced at the old servant Li Mu, who shook his head, expressing that he hadn't seen him.

In this case, it is better to try one.

She directly picked up one and asked, "How do I eat this?"

Little Luoli blinked, picked up the half-eaten corn, and demonstrated it like a little hamster.

After a while, Zhao Yuehan gnawed a piece of corn, his eyes lit up, and he was very pleasantly surprised.

Because this corn is very delicious.

Just such a corn can make her full.

The old servant Li Mu was greedy, so he picked up one without hesitation, wiped it a few times, and finished eating the corn.

"good to eat!"

Then he picked up another one.

Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

Xiao Luoli stood aside, watching this scene, not knowing what to say.

After all, they are all the master's guests, she can't say, but these are lunches prepared for the master, and the master will be hungry when he comes back.

"Does your owner have a lot of corn?"

"Yeah." Little Luoli shook her head, "The master just planted some in the backyard, it shouldn't be many."

What do you mean there shouldn't be many?

Zhao Yuehan glanced at little Luoli, considering how unrealistic the child's words would be, it's better to just take a look.
