Seeing Du Ruhui walking out of the hall, a bright smile appeared on Li Er's face, and he said to himself: "Although Yun Ye is a bit cunning, he has never played tricks in front of me. What he said about the situation in Lingnan,
How could I not know that what worries me the most these days is this matter. If everyone is extremely wealthy, what will I, the emperor, do? It seems that we need to block the news about Lingnan.////"
Having solved his worries, Li Er had a great appetite and summoned the waiter to prepare a meal for him. When he saw a few lychees on the table, he peeled one open, looked at the snow-white pulp, sighed in admiration, and stuffed it into his mouth.
taste.
The eldest grandson came out from behind the gauze curtain, picked up the lychees and peeled them for Li Er, put them on a plate, looked at the four lychees and said to Li Er as if he had some understanding: "Erlang, Lingnan is so rich, why have all the dynasties turned a blind eye to it?"
?"
"This is a matter of vision and ambition. These two determine how far a country can go. You only need to look at what Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han did to understand. Both of them spared no effort to develop Lingnan.
After many battles, I left the current foundation for future generations. After all, I have inherited their blessings. Now it is time for Lingnan to start to produce output. Yun Ye's plan is only a few years ahead of schedule.
That’s it, when I defeat the powerful enemies in the north, even if Yun Ye doesn’t do anything, I will develop Jiangnan, Lingnan, and large areas of land, and we can’t leave them uncultivated.”
After feeding his eldest grandson a lychee, Li Er closed his eyes and hummed a tune in a low voice, feeling extremely happy.
Xin Yue once again walked past the officials with her neck raised, and seven or eight eunuchs followed behind them carrying the Queen's gifts. She received the attention gift that Yun Ye had never enjoyed by herself.
Returning home in rich clothes, like Xin Yue, five or six mighty carriages loaded with things passed through the West Market in a swaggering manner. In order to please Xin Yue, the eunuchs kept spreading the news to outsiders that the Yun family had received generous gifts from the emperor and the empress.
It spread like wildfire, and the head of the Yun family is now in Lingnan. He will go home when the matter is finished.
When Zhang Liang heard the news, he was ready to start some activities and let it go. Otherwise, when Yun Ye comes back, a war might break out between the two families. The royal family obviously does not support him, so it is better not to ask for trouble.
.
After returning home, Xin Yue picked up Rimu who was lying on the pile of gems dreaming, gave her two gems, and chased her far away, while she began to figure out how to distribute the remaining gems.
I gave the old lady two kinds of tiaras, the purple one. I like the yellow gem. That day, Higurashi gave me two emeralds. The girl likes the green one the best. Runniang’s blue one is fine. The Qin family will come here next year to raise someone. They are both beautiful.
It’s not enough to wear jewelry at the bottom, Da Ya is already a big girl, and Shan Ying has been flirting with each other, it seems that she won’t be able to stay at home for long, but Shan Ying is too poor, and she still owes her husband a lot of money, so forget it.
, my husband will definitely not want it. Thinking of this, he put two more pills into the small pile for Da Ya.
The remaining little girls each have one, including Shishi and Xiao Wu. Somehow, Xiao Wu’s family seems to have forgotten the existence of the little girl and ignored it. Now they all live at home. She is smart and beautiful.
Everyone likes my little girl. As my husband’s disciple, I will at most have a dowry in the future. The Yun family can afford it.
Compared to the killings in the past few days, Xin Yue preferred to plot against these ill-intentioned parents. Looking at the dozens of piles of gems piled on the kang, she ordered the maid to find all the women in the family.
The women in the room were noisy and noisy. Xiaoya secretly wanted to take two more, but Xin Yue slapped her twice on the buttocks. Then she put down the gem aggrievedly and said with a pout: "Wait for brother."
I will file a complaint when I get back."
Xin Yue ignored her, holding a pink gem and gesturing on Xiaodong's hair. The little girl had a pink tiara that was most attractive.
The old woman smiled and watched the younger generation in the family making trouble. After the news came that her grandson was safe, the old woman thanked the Bodhisattva again and ate an extra bowl of dinner that day. As long as her grandson was safe, she planned to live a few more years.
After the accident, she was completely disappointed with the world and had nothing to miss anymore.
The servants of the Yun Mansion were also happy. During this period of time, the family was simply unable to survive. None of the masters had a smile on their faces. The naughtiest little girl tied Hanhan up with a rope to prevent him from wandering around.
It was running to cause harm to people. Now it's better, the dark clouds in the sky have all dispersed, and the sun is shining on the beautiful village of Yunjiazhuangzi again.
The Yun family was rejoicing, but the Du family was gloomy. When the head of the family came back from the palace, he sighed. Du Ruhui, who had been looking for a scapegoat all his life, now became a scapegoat himself. This time, the blame was not as big as usual. He didn't even dare to think about it.
Is there any way to get rid of the hateful looks in Chang'an City in the future? Li Er didn't find Fang Xuanling, which shows that he is the most appropriate scapegoat. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. This feud is considered to be serious.
It’s no wonder that Yun Ye was responsible. He wanted the emperor to take the blame. It was just that the emperor pushed him into the situation with a beautiful move. He was careful and careful, but he still failed to guard against it. Anyone could use Yun Ye’s things.
Watching casually?
Looking at the disappearing sun outside the window, how he wished he could hang a long rope to the blue sky and tie the day to the west, so that time could stop. In frustration, he sighed long and short, but there was nothing he could do. He sat in the study and listened to the drums that kept ringing.
, Du Ruhui, who had aged much overnight, ordered his old servant to prepare face wash for him, and prepared to go to court. If he stretched out his head, he would be struck by a knife, and if he retracted his head, he would be struck by a strike. He could not avoid it, and he could not avoid it.
The old wife dressed him worriedly, with tears in her eyes. The master only told her the power of it and knew the difficulties. He was even more sad for her husband who had been an official all his life. The king is ruthless. Du Ruhui knew that she also
Know……
The whole family was sending their father off respectfully, and even Du He, who had always been naughty, no longer looked tired, and followed his elder brother to see his father off.
Du Ruhui glanced at his family, regained his energy and stepped out of the door. He knew that from today on, the Du family would gradually decline and no one could save it.
Having been the prime minister for many years, I would rather die standing than lose my grace. I, Du Ruhui, am the first to make the decision. Now that I have made the decision, let’s walk away. gritting my teeth, Du Ruhui let the horse under his crotch run.
The Great Court Meeting is still the same as before. The armies from all walks of life are gathering along the predetermined route, and the various military supply locations have been determined one by one. The Minister of the Ministry of Finance is almost forced to jump into the river. The three armies, totaling 330,000 horses, are ready to win in one fell swoop.
Xue Yantuo, Gaochang, and Li Jing asked him for grain and fodder. Hou Junji asked him for it. Li Ji sent a letter from the front line asking him for it, and sharply rebuked him. Did he miss the grain and fodder that should have been given to the army?
Changsun Wuji wanted to cry but had no tears. As the Minister of Household Affairs, it was impossible to prepare enough food and grass in the shortest possible time.
After explaining the reason, some officials immediately asked, wasn't there no problem when the Turks were annihilated last time? Why is there a problem now? Is it due to incompetence?
Changsun Wuji wished he could drag this idiot to the map and teach him a lesson. Let him see where the Western Turks are and where Xue Yantuo and Gaochang are. The difference between the two is more than a thousand miles, and there are more people than last time.
It is further away than the previous meeting, and the difficulties have more than doubled. The household department is still so big, and even gods can't do it well.
There was a lot of scolding in the court. Although the Ministry of Revenue still had some foundation, it could not catch up with the enemy. If it was too busy to fight, who would dare to bear the responsibility if there was a disaster in the country? If the people in the country were abandoned, the destruction of the Sui Dynasty would serve as a warning.
Du Ruhui knew it was time for him to go out. Li Er had already looked at him more than once before he was about to go out. However, a man in purple robe got out first. He originally thought that this man would also attack Changsun Wuji, but he didn't expect that Du Ruhui would be overjoyed as soon as he opened his mouth.
, I wish I could hug him and kiss him a few times. There is such a good person in this world. It was him who saved the Du family. Old Du's eyes were red.
"Your Majesty, the funds in the national treasury are really not suitable for use. I think that as long as we and everyone work together, minor difficulties will not be a problem. I voluntarily donated some money and food. I heard Lantian Hou Yunye say before that my income in Lingnan is quite generous. Now,
It has been a year, and I must have accumulated some money and food, so I donated all of it to relieve the worries of our army. Not only that, I also volunteered to go to Lingzhou to garrison as a backup for the army. I hope your Majesty will give me your permission."
Du Ruhui was moved by every word Zhang Liang said. He never imagined that there would be such a great husband as Zhang Liang in this world, who was not self-interested but dedicated to benefiting others.
Changsun Wuji, who was worried about being attacked, also said: "Weichen also has some profits in Lingnan. In order for the army to be victorious in every battle, Weichen also voluntarily contributed."
After these two talked about it, Fang Xuanling, as the prime minister, had no choice but to stand up and agree to donate the benefits. Next came Du Ruhui's statement. At this time, Du Ruhui, who had no psychological pressure, naturally followed closely, just for the consideration of each family.
In order not to let the hard work of those generals traveling to Lingnan go to waste, we decided to donate 60% and give the rest to the generals, so that no one would serve each family in the future, which would not necessarily be a good thing for the court.
Li Er stared at Du Ruhui for a long time, and then looked at Zhang Liang. Lao Du shook his head at the emperor with a smile on his face, indicating that he was not the one who bewitched him, but that he jumped out on his own.
Li Er was stunned for a moment and smiled playfully at Zhang Liang. He didn't care who brought it up first, as long as his goal was achieved. Since things were already like this, let it be, seek death by yourself, don't blame others.
"Since all the ministers have unanimously agreed, I cannot live up to my good intentions. Some of my guards are also in Lingnan. As Du Aiqing said, I will also pay 60%. It happens that Lantian Hou Yunye is in Lingnan, so I ordered him to be responsible for collecting the 60%.
We will send them back to Chang'an as soon as possible to meet our urgent needs."
Du Ruhui was the first to go out and prostrate himself on the ground to congratulate the emperor for his wise move. The other officials also followed him in the fog and knelt down and couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, is this wise? Can Lingnan's small amount of wealth fill the treasury? (To be completed.)
