Chapter 176: Eat the King’s Prosperity and Divide the King’s Worry 1
The fingers in Guangxiu are now tightly clasped, as if trying to grab water.
Even a blind man could feel Lin Di's ugly face, but how could he escape Xiao Tiange's piercing eyes?
She stood up from the chair and said:
"It's getting late now. I have to go to court to discuss matters with the ministers, so I won't stay with you any longer." Then he shouted at the door:
"Youlan, send the emperor back to the palace for me!" Youlan heard the call and hurriedly walked in. Lin Di secretly gritted his teeth, stared at Xiao Tiange for a long time, flicked his long sleeves, and left...
It was really interesting in the court today. Prime Minister Lin Xiangzhi refused to go to court because she felt unwell, and all the officials following her also said they were sick.
The original Lin's house was gone today, leaving a large area empty.
First, Lin Di made a surprise attack on her, and now Lin Xiangzhi took the lead to strike down the court. Could it be that her Lan Yu Kingdom would not be able to function without such traitors and traitors?
Xiao Tiange sat lazily on the dragon chair and looked at the courtiers from another faction in the court. This was the faction headed by Taifu Bai Muji. Suddenly, he felt that Lin Xiangzhi and the others were gone, and his mood suddenly changed.
I feel much better, and the smile on my face naturally gets bigger.
"Today, I suddenly feel that this palace is a lot empty. You think it would be great if there were only you people in this court hall from now on. The air would be much better!"
Only the concubine Xiao Tiange dared to say such things. Her words seemed to be a joke, but the implication was that Lin Xiangzhi and his group of old ladies were redundant?
Although all the ministers in the hall were somewhat happy, they did not dare to show it too much. As they were holding back like this, their expressions were naturally very strange.
Bai Muji said: "Your Highness, how can such a joke be made in the main hall!"
As Xiao Tiange's first teacher and a tutor, she now naturally has the right to lecture Xiao Tiange. Being treated so little by Bai Muji, Xiao Tiange was not angry, and even had a slight smile. It seems that she is today
I feel really good.
However, Lin Di got angry early in the morning and now Lin Xiang and others are so angry that they have to give up. It can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented!
They didn't like to see her, and she didn't like to see them either. Out of sight, out of mind, that's probably what happened.
"What the Master taught me was that the student got carried away for a while. I wonder if you sirs have anything to say today?"
Bai Muji stepped forward and said respectfully: "Old minister, I have something to report!"
"Oh? Master, please speak!"
"Nowadays, large areas of the south are flooded, and the number of disaster-stricken areas is increasing day by day. People are displaced and suffering unspeakably. I hope that His Highness can come up with a response policy in time and deal with this matter. There must be no further delay!"
Xiao Tiange thought for a while and said: "Every summer, floods occur in the southern region. In the past, granaries were opened to provide disaster relief, and silver coins were allocated from the national treasury to the affected people. This approach is to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
It is not advisable to go between palaces!"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the court were in an uproar, and they couldn't help but whisper. It has been like this from ancient times to the present. They just followed the methods of their ancestors. They never thought that this method was not feasible, and they did not dare to
I have some doubts about the intelligence of my ancestors.
After all, in Lan Yu, from the emperor to the ministers and to the common people, the word filial piety is the top priority, and filial piety comes first. This is the rule they have always followed.
Many officials had expressions of disbelief. After all, what Xiao Tiange just said was contrary to the views of the ancestors. In short, it was disrespectful to the ancestors. Even if she was the princess at the moment, she was
It can't be like this.
Lan Yuneng has the foundation it has today, and it is also the country created by its ancestors in the past. Although it was the emperor and the ministers, they cannot forget each other at all.
On the other hand, Bai Muji, an old fox, has always been a far-sighted and thoughtful person. Otherwise, she would not have been able to fight with Lin Xiangzhi for so long and become a veteran of the three dynasties.
Bai Muji lowered his eyes, with an unconcealable smile on his lips, and said hurriedly:
"Your Highness said that, maybe you already have some good ideas?"
While Xiao Tiange admired Bai Muji's cleverness, he continued:
"The fundamental way is to strengthen the river bank and dig out the silt at the bottom of the river during the dry season. Because in the rainy season, the river water will flow in from all directions from the upper mountainous areas and other places, and it will naturally flow in again.
A lot of sediment has been brought back, so I suggest that the river bed needs to be cleaned from time to time, preferably once a year. As for strengthening the river embankment, this is also imperative, so as to avoid the river embankment being weak every time during flood periods.
, washed away the dams, causing disasters to the people of Yanbian, resulting in heavy losses!"
As soon as this suggestion was made, there was another uproar among the officials below. Although Bai Muji secretly praised Xiao Tiange for being able to do such a thing that ordinary people could not think of, he was secretly troubled in his heart.
She naturally listened to the voices of the ministers and was anxious in her heart. Xiao Tiange's opinion was indeed good, but strengthening the river dam and cleaning up the river bed was not a trivial matter. It would definitely require a lot of manpower and financial resources.
.
The short-sightedness of the ancients may be related to the era they lived in at that time, but strictly speaking, she, Xiao Tiange, is a person who has received higher education, how can she be as knowledgeable as them?
Being short-sighted and looking forward and backward will never achieve great things, and often only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. This kind of problem will also happen every year, and there will definitely be a lot of casualties and financial resources consumption.
After all, Bai Muji is still an ancient person, so even if she is different from ordinary people, she is not as avant-garde as Xiao Tiange's thoughts.
Furthermore, as you get older, you naturally have more worries than young people.
"Your Highness, although the idea you just mentioned is feasible, have you ever thought that digging river beds and strengthening embankments is also a labor-intensive and costly matter? Furthermore, today's people like to live and work in peace and contentment.
Now our court wants to arrest them for doing something because of this matter, if they are unwilling, what should they do?"
What Bai Muji said was not unreasonable. Xiao Tiange suddenly stood up from the dragon chair and glanced sharply at the ministers below.
"The country is in trouble and everyone has their responsibilities. How can we not want to work just because we are used to this kind of life of peace and contentment? The imperial court provides money and they contribute their efforts, and I do not let them do it in vain. Since they are my Lanyu subjects, enjoy my
Lan Yu's blessings should be to contribute a little to us when we need them, right? Furthermore, am I doing this for myself? Is it for you ministers standing in the Golden Palace?
What? The people at the front are suffering from the disaster now. If they don’t want to, very good. From now on, those disaster relief grains and disaster relief money no longer need to be distributed."
