"Is he still doubting your loyalty to the court and testing you?"
"It is possible, but it is also possible that Qiu Yutang is disappointed with the court. As far as I know, Qiu Yutang has been constantly complaining about the refugees suffering from famine recently, and the emperor has not paid attention to it. Alas, the generation in the west is so miserable.
Affected by the floods, there was nothing to eat, millions of refugees were wandering everywhere, and corpses were strewn in the fields!”
Ouyang Bai and Huo Dao, who were standing next to them, said one after another.
"The western part of the country has been hit by a disaster. The disaster is severe and there are millions of refugees?"
Li Yang was startled when he heard this, and then said urgently, "Brother Huo, go and get Qiu Yutang back to me!"
Recently, he has been practicing the Nine Dragons Secret Manual in his house without sleep or food, and he doesn't pay much attention to the external affairs. If Huo Dao hadn't said it today, he really wouldn't have known anything about it.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Huo Dao was stunned for a moment, then ran out quickly.
"Your Highness, you don't want to provide disaster relief, do you?"
Ouyang Bai frowned and said, "You must think clearly, the daily necessities for millions of people are not a small sum of money. The imperial court does not give us military pay, and we ourselves are under great pressure."
The implication is that Li Yang should not be a pity for Tianling. In Tianwu Continent, the weak and the strong prey on the weak, and too many people die every day.
"The Western Generation is near my Qingyang City. I can't just sit back and let the affected folks do nothing. The so-called Southwest Wolf is indeed not an inhumane wolf."
Li Yang said indifferently, "Xiaobai, you have to understand that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts and minds of the people can conquer the world. This is a great opportunity for me and our Shanhe Army to win the hearts and minds of the people."
"My subordinate understands."
Ouyang Bai nodded and had no objection.
Qiu Yutang did not go far. He was called back by Huo Dao as soon as he left the gate of the palace and before he got in the car. Qiu Yutang was quite puzzled. He didn't know why Li Yang asked someone to call him back.
"King Bei, what are you doing?"
Qiu Yutang said impatiently.
"I have been in seclusion recently and don't know about the disaster in the west. I just heard from my subordinates that you have been asking for permission, but the court has not allowed it. So, I will provide the money to purchase funds, and you will go to the west to implement the disaster relief."
Li Yang said straight to the point.
What?
Is Li Yang so kind?
Qiu Yutang was doubtful and looked at Li Yang suspiciously: "Are you serious? Are you the only one with such good intentions?"
Li Yang said angrily: "Why am I not so kind? When I was in Qingyang City, did I ever mistreat the people of Qingyang City?"
Qiu Yutang nodded: "It's true that your Qingyang City people's happiness index is the highest in the entire Tianwu Continent. You do love the people like your own children, but do you have money? Disaster relief supplies for millions of refugees are not a small sum!"
Li Yang smiled faintly: "I am also a warlord in this place. I still have some money. My family is not rich, but I have to tighten my belt and make up for it. This is three billion yuan. You go to the Longteng Chamber of Commerce to purchase supplies.
.”
Longteng Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Tianwu Continent, and only Longteng Chamber of Commerce has the strength to raise enough supplies in a short period of time to send to the disaster area.
Then he asked Yutang to do the purchasing in order to avoid overt dealings with the Longteng Chamber of Commerce. The Sun Moon Sect and the Longteng Chamber of Commerce had to exist in secret.
Qiu Yutang took the money ticket and looked at it again and again before he believed it.
"The King of the North is a good man. I would like to thank the King of the North on behalf of the people affected by the disaster in the west."
Qiu Yutang was so excited that he repeatedly raised his hands and his eyes became wet.
"Hurry up and buy supplies. Disaster relief is like putting out fire."
Li Yang said unconcernedly.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go right away."
Qiu Yutang said again as if he was remembering something, "If the Ministry of Industry reports to you about the relocation of the Sun and Moon Sect's main altar, remember to reject it. Only by rejecting it can the Sun and Moon Sect hope to take root in the Imperial City."
After speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for a response.
"What does he mean by that?"
Huo Dao was a little confused.
"Your Highness oversaw the Ministry of Industry and rejected it. How can the Sun and Moon Faction be retained?"
Ouyang Bai was also puzzled.
Before Qiu Yutang came over, they felt that the move of the Sun Moon Sect to the main altar had been finalized, and the power was in Li Yang's hands, so there was no possibility of accidents.
"I understand, this is Zhu Wenyu testing me."
Li Yang woke up and felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he called Qiu Yutang back, otherwise something would have gone wrong.
Originally, he analyzed that Zhu Wenyu delegated power to him to help him take root in the imperial city and compete with Wang Hu, and had no connection with the Sun and Moon Sect.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The officialdom is dangerous, and if there is a slight mistake, everything will be lost.
He really has to be more careful in the future. He won't be so lucky every time.
One week later.
On this day, the smog was heavy and the sky was gray. An Huairen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, suddenly visited the Beiwang Mansion.
"An Huairen, the minister of the Ministry of Workers and Employee Affairs, comes to see the King of the North!"
An Huairen bowed to pay homage, his tone was full of respect.
"Master An, there is no need to be polite. Do you have anything to do with me coming here to see me?"
Li Yang sat upright and said indifferently.
"The Sun and Moon faction of Jianghu forces submitted a land application to the Ministry of Industry. The Sun and Moon faction wants to move the main altar to the imperial city. Our Ministry of Industry has approved it. You are now responsible for supervising the Ministry of Industry, so our Lord Shangshu asked me to come and ask.
If you agree with your opinion, we will formally reply to the Sun and Moon faction."
An Huairen said straight to the point.
"The imperial city is at the feet of the emperor. The influence of Jianghu forces has come in, which is detrimental to public security. Your Ministry of Industry has not considered it properly."
Li Yang picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said, "My opinion is to reject their application. I also hope that your Ministry of Industry can do it according to my wishes!"
"This... King Bei, is it like this? Our Lord Shangshu has already agreed?"
An Huairen said cautiously.
He came here just to go through the motions according to the procedure. He didn't expect that Li Yang would disagree. Zhu Wenyu wanted to test Li Yang. The Ministry of Industry was completely unaware of it. Even Qiu Yutang only analyzed and inferred it, nothing more. In addition, the reason why the Ministry of Industry
The reason why we plan to grant the land is because we have benefited from the Sun and Moon Pie.
Everyone in the Ministry of Industry had a share, and he received a total of 10 million.
"What do you mean, I want to give your Lord Chancellor face, and I cannot veto it. My power of supervision is just a decoration?"
Li Yang's eyes were cold and his expression was unhappy.
"I don't dare to do it in a humble position, I don't dare to do it in a humble position."
An Huairen saw that Li Yang had a bad look on his face and immediately replied, "After I return from my humble post, I will definitely report back to you, Lord Shangshu, truthfully!"
"Get down!"
Li Yang waved his hand and said without comment.
After An Huairen exited, he snorted coldly and secretly scolded Li Yang for being shameless.
With Lord Shangshu here, did you, Li Yang, veto it?
Is it possible for you, Li Yang, to cut off their wealth?
