Chapter 1,746 Changes in Anxi (Fifth update, still twenty-three)
Being scolded and questioned like this by Luo Zhang, the people in the Hubu were depressed. They thought that a large sum of money had come into the Hubu and they would be able to drink some soup. Who would have thought that Luo Zhang was waiting for them here.
This money goes to the Ministry of Household Affairs, but it can only be used to reward people for giving birth to children. If anyone dares to touch it, Luo Zhang will do what he says.
Until then, let alone wearing a coat, I'm afraid your majesty won't be able to protect those who use money!
Luo Zhang was warning and inoculating them. He hoped that his money would be misappropriated or embezzled. If such a thing happened, Luo Zhang would not mind punishing him personally.
He believed that if he punished some corrupt people, Li Shimin would strongly approve of it.
The moths should be eliminated. If you want to be a moth, go home. There is no need in the court.
"Dai Shangshu, what I said today may be a bit harsh, but you have to explain clearly to them how the money should be used. If you make a mistake when the time comes, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Luo Zhang stared at Dai Zhou and said calmly.
"This will never happen, I promise! When I get back, I will draft the documents according to what you said before and send them to all states and counties. At the same time, I will also go to the states and counties for spot checks from time to time. Once discovered, I will not be lenient!" Dai Zhou He bravely promised that after talking about this, if he had other ideas, then his status as minister would be over.
Obviously, what Luo Zhang meant was what Li Shimin meant, and the money was donated by him himself, which offended the entire royal family. If he had used this money, it would be really unjustifiable.
Moreover, if this money is really used and Luo Zhang becomes angry, he can cut off the supply of this money at any time and distribute it to the people himself. At worst, he can just ask for an imperial edict from His Majesty!
"Yes, is this right? Dai Shangshu understands me. It's a good idea to check randomly if there's nothing wrong!" Luo Zhang said with a smile.
What was originally a troublesome matter was solved by Luo Zhang in an understatement. Li Shimin also smiled bitterly, but he also secretly admired Luo Zhang's growth.
Once upon a time, Luo Zhang was not as calm and composed as he is now when he went to court, and he was cautious most of the time.
But it is better as it is now. This court really needs people like Luo Zhang who are not afraid of anything in order to suppress those who have small thoughts.
The rest of the things have nothing to do with Luo Zhang. They are all things that happened in various places, including droughts, disasters, road construction, and river management.
Li Shimin handled the appropriate allocations and food supplies in an orderly manner. He was worthy of being an emperor through the ages, but he was different.
But just as the court meeting was about to end, a guard ran in from outside the palace gate. When he came to the palace, he knelt down and held up a piece of silk in both hands.
The appearance of this guard attracted the attention of many people. There was a meeting in the court, and if the guard ran in in such a hurry, something big must have happened.
Otherwise, no matter what I say, I will not break into the main hall, but wait until the court meeting is over to report!
Eunuch Huang quickly took the silk cloth. It was a letter sent by a flying pigeon. Luo Zhang could see it at a glance, but he could not see the content inside.
However, Luo Zhang discovered that Li Shimin's expression changed drastically after reading the content on the silk cloth.
At the first moment, his eyes fell on Luo Zhang. Eunuch Huang took the silk cloth very wisely and handed it to Luo Zhang.
Luo Zhang unfolded the silk cloth, and only eight big characters were written on it.
"There are changes in Anxi and the enemy is coming!"
"What? How could it be so fast?" Luo Zhang said in surprise.
According to his calculations, it would take at least a few years for Da Shiguo to attack.
After all, in the two previous wars, even if the Great Food Country was strong, it still had to rest for a few years to allow its soldiers to relax and at the same time build up strength.
But I didn't expect that the flying pigeon sent a message saying that something had changed in Anxi and the enemy was invading!
For a moment, Luo Zhang couldn't sit still. He wanted to find out what was going on as soon as possible!
"Your Majesty, I will investigate this matter immediately. I will report the details to Your Majesty after I have found out the details!" Luo Zhang said and hurriedly left.
Chapter completed!
