"You don't understand, and you won't know even if I tell you." Chu Shen sighed and looked at her lightly.
"How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me?"
"There are floods in Qizhou and severe drought in Wei County. The national treasury is empty and unable to provide disaster relief. But at this moment, the Queen Mother still wants to..."
"Build Tonghui Garden and expand it into the palace."
"Yes, that's right." The emperor smiled and nodded, raising his hand to touch her little head, "You are really smart, you actually remember everything the Queen Mother said."
"There is always a way to solve it, Ashen. Let's go have a meal first. After dinner, we can find ways to solve these problems together."
Chu Shen burst into laughter, "What can you do? You can go and eat it yourself first. I'll have to read the discounts for a while, and I'll come back later..."
"Don't look at it!" Yun Qin stretched out his chubby little hands to mess with the folding papers in front of him and shouted angrily, "People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat for one meal, you will be starved. Go eat first and then work!
If you don't go to eat, I will watch you here. If I starve to death by then, others will laugh to death because you can't feed me! Where do you want to put your face?"
Chu Shen couldn't help but laugh out loud, put her in his arms and hugged her, waving his hands to the eunuch beside him and saying, "Pass the meal, I can't starve the imperial concubine to death."
"That's pretty much it." Yun Qin smiled and was put on the stool.
The eunuch in the dining room brought up the dishes one after another like a flowing cloud and placed them in front of the two of them.
Yunqin was slightly speechless, and stretched out his hand to tug at the emperor's sleeves, "Your Majesty, there is actually no way to replenish the treasury. You see, these are all waste! We two can't eat so much food at all. Instead of wasting it in vain, it would be better
Reduce the amount of food used in meals and just use the essence. The dishes don’t have to be too rich. Four dishes and one soup are nutritious enough.”
"The Emperor can start from himself and reduce the huge expenses of the harem. Of course, except for the Queen Mother, that is an exception, Your Majesty?"
Chu Shen held the spoon and looked at Yun Qin slightly in confusion, then suddenly smiled and said, "I always feel that you are not like a three-year-old child. What you say is more logical and unique than adults."
"Your Majesty, are you praising me again?" Yun Qin picked up a jade rabbit bag and took a bite. His eyes turned into two crescent moons with a smile, "Then I will be disrespectful."
The emperor took a sip of the soup and said, "Actually, it is not easy to reduce the huge expenses of the harem. This is often very involved. I am afraid..."
"A Shen, why are you so stupid? Who asked you to reduce the expenses by half at once and cause a riot in the harem? Of course, you have to reduce it slowly and quietly. It will take three years to eliminate all kinds of waste. I don't believe it.
You don’t have any close ministers around you. Of course, it’s up to them to figure out how to deal with it best. Are those disciples and diners living in vain?”
The emperor almost choked on the soup, and raised his hand to touch Yunqin's forehead, "It's strange, your little head is so weird. This really doesn't look like the thoughts of a three-year-old baby."
