Although there are many people in the court, no one speaks. It seems that there is really no one who can solve this problem.
"What's wrong? Why is there no one talking? Is our Zhao country's talent withering away? Can't we even solve such a problem?"
He glanced at Liu Siqian now and said, "You have always been resourceful, so do you have any idea now?"
"Hey, I have no choice, old minister. After all, at this time, I need money but I don't have money, I need food but I don't have food. What can I do?"
"If you don't have a solution, just think of it. Let's all think about it together and see what kind of solution we can to deal with the current crisis."
After looking around and seeing that there was no movement, Marquis Yuwen suggested at this moment: "I feel that at this time, it is better to collect more taxes, so that we can make money!"
"No, I don't recommend that we continue to increase the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous fees at this time. The people of Zhao State are really living a very poor life at this time. If we increase the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous fees at this time, then these people may riot."
"Aren't you still involved in the riot? You are the general protecting the country. I think you will suppress the riot, right?"
"What are you talking about? I think what you are saying now is because you want to harm the country and the people, and your heart is to be punished."
They were quarreling again at this time, and Emperor Zhao Wen felt that his head hurt a little, and his ears were buzzing as if flies were buzzing non-stop.
"Okay, retreat!"
He immediately announced his withdrawal from the court and left. At this time, Zhao Gao shouted: "Everyone
Sir, I think you should think of a solution after you go back. You can’t let His Majesty think of this solution alone. We should also share His Majesty’s worries, shouldn’t we?”
After Lin Tianlong returned to the General's Mansion, he thought about what to do now. The court was short of money and food. Now there was neither money nor food, so why fight? There was a war at the border at this time. If there was a lack of food,
Wearing clothes, I believe it won’t be long before news of the defeat comes from the front line.
As a general protecting the country, he naturally did not want the front line to be defeated. He felt very sad in his heart and really didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Lin Tian walked out of the gourmet restaurant opposite and happened to meet Lin Tianlong who had just returned home.
"Tian'er, come here, why did you come out of the food store so early in the morning? What were you doing there?"
"I was drunk last night, so I slept there all night."
"What did you say? You said you were drunk last night and slept there all night. Huh, don't you know how to practice well? Time is very precious for you now. You must use it.
Just take some time to practice!"
"Father, do you feel a little unhappy? Why do I feel that your tone of voice is a little irritable now? Is there something going on in the court?"
"Well, can you tell?"
"Of course I can tell if that Marquis Yuwen has embarrassed you."
"no."
He sighed now, and then told him about the current difficulties of the court: "You said that now
At this time, we need money but don’t have money, we need food but don’t have food, so why fight on the front line? I think it’s better to just admit defeat.”
"You are the general protecting the country, how can you say such discouraging words?"
"Why can't I say it anymore? Although I am the general who protects the country, if you need money but don't have money, and you need food but you don't have food, how can you fight a war? It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. If the youth team has no food, what will they eat?
Well, do you still have fighting ability?"
"Well, don't you have anything to eat? Maybe I can help you think of something to do."
"What can you do? If we don't have money or food, we can't solve the problem."
"I feel that although food is relatively scarce here, I heard that several places in the south have had good harvests. We can transport food from those places!"
"Do you mean to buy it? But if you want to buy it, you need money. The key problem is that we don't have much money now. Almost all the money in the treasury has been spent."
"If you can think of a way to make money, the civil and military officials must be very rich. As the saying goes, three years to clear the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, I don't believe they can't come up with much money."
"Well, there are indeed some officials in the imperial court who are very wealthy, but if we want to get them to take out their money, wouldn't that cost them their lives?"
"They are unwilling to take the initiative to take out the money, so we can think of a way. We can hold an auction, and then auction some treasures, and let some ministers from the court and some wealthy local businessmen participate.
Plus, I’ll definitely be able to make some money by then.”
“But what are we auctioning?”
"Elixirs, flying swords, and magic weapons are all fine. Father, please leave it to me to prepare this matter. How about it?"
"I'll leave it to you to prepare, can you?"
"There is nothing wrong with you. You are the general who protects the country. If you can't even solve this problem, what prestige will you have in the country in the future? You were supported by everyone in the past. That was because you were in the army and were still in the army.
You are very prestigious in everyone's heart, but if you can't solve the food and grass problem on the front line at this time, your prestige will be greatly reduced, so no matter what, this matter will
We must find a solution, and the food and fodder for the front line must be delivered on time."
Lin Tianlong thought for a while, if this is the case, then this is the only way he can do it at this time, and said: "Okay, then you can do the auction. I will be responsible for notifying you. I don't know how many days it will take you to prepare."
Woolen cloth?"
"It's an emergency on the front line. Two days are enough. Just give me two days, that's enough!"
"What, it only takes two days. Isn't this time too tight?"
He felt that only two days were too urgent, and at this moment Lin said: "I feel that two days is enough, just tell us that we will hold an auction in the Jianbao Pavilion tomorrow night.
I hope everyone can be there by then. We have to ask the emperor to tell them personally about this matter and let them all go there by then."
"Okay, then I will report to the Emperor immediately at this time.
Down."
He entered the palace again, and Emperor Zhao Wen was angry at this moment. He shouted now: "Could it be that God wants to destroy our Zhao country? We don't even have food, grass, or money. How can the soldiers on the front line fight?
