Chapter 416 The Art of Speaking of the King of Huangzhou
In Tianxia Palace.
Xia Tian did not answer immediately.
The new prince spoke first, with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "Brother Nine Emperors, those untouchables and refugees heard that you have a holy name in Huangzhou, so they came to you like a flood. You are a descendant of our royal family, so you can't Let them down!"
A fierce light flashed in the depths of the prince's eyes: "If everyone is starving to death in your deserted state, and the ministers of the court come to your aid, I will not be able to protect you!"
Having said this, the prince took out a memorial from his sleeve and said: "Father, according to statistics from various states, the number of untouchables and refugees entering the wilderness five days ago has reached half a million."
"In the past few days, I believe there have been more people entering the wilderness!"
"These untouchables and refugees have no money and food, they only have mouths to eat food. Going into the famine like this has put great pressure on the Nine Emperor Brothers. If it causes a famine in the deserted state, please don't punish the Nine Emperor Brothers!"
"After all, his barren state is also a poor and remote place. I heard that he is selling mountain goods in the imperial capital to support his people!"
"Hahaha"
As soon as these words came out, the whole court burst into laughter.
The Prime Minister on the right, Cao Wei, had a mocking look on his face: "I heard that when His Highness the King of Huangzhou came back this time, there were more than a thousand carriages loaded with them. Are they all wild products from Huangzhou?"
"Then when the Huangzhou store opens, I'm going to buy some Huangzhou mountain products to try."
"right!"
The princelings and other royal ministers all sincerely felt that Huangzhou was too poor: "Don't worry, His Highness the King of Huangzhou, when the time comes, we will all go and support him!"
With so many untouchables and refugees entering the wilderness, the king of Huangzhou is in great trouble!
Above the imperial court.
Only the Emperor Xia, the left prime minister Sima Jian, the Taiwei Li Jian, and the red-robed censors, including the censor doctor, did not laugh.
They were observing Xia Tian's reaction.
Then, they were not annoyed at all when they saw Xia Tian!
Xia Xia waited quietly for everyone to finish laughing, and then said in a clear voice: "Back to my father, in these days, there are indeed many lowly people and refugees going to Huangzhou. I really don't know how many there are specifically!"
"But, thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince's intention, I only knew that the number exceeded five hundred thousand!"
Xia Tian said meaningfully: "Actually, after twenty years of war in Huangzhou, the mountains and rivers are broken, the population is small, there is no money and food, and there is nothing!"
"With the current conditions in Huangzhou, it will be difficult to support the Royal Palace of Huangzhou!"
"But, since they entered the deserted state with hope, I can only do my best to prevent them from starving to death!"
"There are a lot of wild fruits, wild vegetables, and wild products in the mountains of Huangzhou. Before I came, I had arranged for some people to go into the mountains to collect them, hoping to feed some people!"
"Then, there are many waterways in Huangzhou, and there are many fish and shrimps in them. Before I came, I had also arranged for some people to catch fish and shrimps to keep people alive first."
"At the same time, I will use all my gold and silver to buy some food outside to cope with the situation."
"In the coming year, when the food is planted in Huangzhou and there is a harvest, it should be much better!"
Emperor Xia frowned: "Xiao Jiu, although you have a compassionate heart, but if this continues, how long can your Huangzhou Palace last?"
"yes!"
Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian also frowned: "Once there is nothing to eat in the deserted state, it will no longer be a problem of famine!"
"Those untouchables and refugees might even riot and attack Huangzhou's palace!"
Prince Xia Yu gloated: "Father, Prime Minister, please don't forget that the Nine Emperors brother is known as the Holy King among the people. We may not be able to do anything about this kind of thing, but he must be able to do something."
"right!"
Right Prime Minister Cao Wei quickly echoed: "His Royal Highness the King of Huangzhou can survive among the 200,000 Heavenly Wolf army, how can he not be able to support millions of untouchables and refugees?"
Praise and kill!
At this time.
Xia Tian suddenly changed the subject and said: "Father, when you destroyed the Hehuan Demon Sect and exiled the remaining good witches to Huangzhou, I thought that coming here must be because my father wanted them to change their minds and start a new life, so he personally taught them."
"However, some thoughtful people spread rumors in the states of Daxia, saying that I can teach even lowly female prostitutes, that I must be the reincarnation of a saint, and that I can live in the barren states."
At this point, Xia Tian complained with indignation: "There are still children's songs sung. Go to the Huangzhou and see the king of the Huangzhou. Only then can there be hope in life, only then can life be healthy, and only the untouchables can be good!"
"Father, do you think someone is secretly inducing this?"
"If my desolate state is the richest in the world, but it is short of people, I will be secretly happy in the desolate state!"
"However, Erchen's barren state is completely destitute and has nothing. Suddenly so many lowly people and refugees flooded in, just to squeeze Erchen dry!"
Emperor Xia was thoughtful when he heard the words: "As you said, Huangzhou is so poor. If you want to attract people, you must also attract rich people with family property, just like Du Yue'er of the Du family!"
"After the former Qin Dynasty destroyed the eight kingdoms, in order to make the imperial capital rich, it also brought the rich people from the nine kingdoms here. This created the prosperity of the imperial capital today."
"If all the poor were moved to the Imperial Capital back then, the Imperial Capital would have been destitute!"
"So, when the untouchables and refugees from all over the world are pouring into Huangzhou, there must be someone behind it."
"Xiaojiu, who do you think it is?"
Xia Tian glanced at the prince intentionally or unintentionally and said: "Father, whoever gets lucky in this matter will be suspected!"
When Emperor Xia heard this, he couldn't help but glance at the prince and right minister Cao Wei.
Suddenly.
The prince, right minister Cao Wei and the courtier who just laughed the loudest felt something was wrong.
The Ninth Prince is just throwing the shit basin over their heads!
And the buckle is very clever.
Prince Xia Yu's face changed drastically, and he cursed in his heart: "Damn old Jiu, you are so cruel!"
He quickly defended: "Father, this matter was definitely not done by my son."
Right Prime Minister Cao Wei's face changed drastically, and he cursed in his heart: "You're stupid!"
Isn’t it true that there are three hundred taels of silver in this place?
There was no suspicion of disturbing the population!
Now, there is!
Emperor Xia frowned: "Since it was not the prince's fault, why did he come out to clarify himself?"
The prince was stunned: "My son and the Nine Emperors brothers have some quarrels, so I'm afraid that he will misunderstand that it is my son's fault!"
Emperor Xia's frown deepened: "What's the problem between you two?"
The prince is sitting on wax!
He can't say in public that the Crown Princess was carried to bed by the King of Huangzhou, right?
Cold sweat broke out directly from his body.
Next to him, the right minister Cao Wei's face was ashen and he wished he could hit this stupid prince to death.
Emperor Xia looked at the prince with a disappointed look on his face and said, "Since I can't tell you, it means there is no resentment!"
"Prince, you are now the master of the East Palace and Xiaojiu's royal brother. According to the royal rules, you must take good care of Xiaojiu and love each other, do you understand?"
The prince quickly borrowed the donkey from the slope and said, "Yes!"
"My son, please remember this!"
Emperor Xia then asked: "Dear princes, regarding the millions of untouchables and refugees entering the wilderness, do you have any good way to help the king of Huangzhou?"
At this time.
Old God Li Jian walked out of the train and said: "Your Majesty, I have a method that can solve the difficulties in Huangzhou!"
Emperor Xia's face lit up: "Say it quickly!"
Li Jian said seriously: "Allocate tens of millions of catties of grain and tens of millions of taels of silver to Huangzhou."
"Huh"
Manchao Wenwu took a breath of cold air.
Captain Li is indeed a ruthless person!
He really dares to open his mouth like a lion!
This is indeed a good way!
However, the imperial court had to tax the money in advance to compensate the Sirius Empire!
Where should the money and food to aid the barren state come from?
Lieutenant Li, what do you want to do?
Li Jian came to the fore and was a member of the Tianxia Palace, but he always felt that it was not easy!
