Now that these northern people have experienced and enjoyed it, when the Northern Zhou Dynasty wants to fight back, they will naturally be on the front line of resistance. After all, the Northern Zhou Dynasty does not have these things.
But Li Xingchen couldn't afford that much money.
Xu Su smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. When I went north, the imperial government allocated 10 million silver notes and 500 taels of gold for my concubine to use. Not to mention that I brought the gold with me all the way.
The banknotes can also be cashed at any time at a bank in the north, so I probably don’t need your Majesty to pay for it anymore.”
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment.
My wives are richer than me
Now I am heavily in debt.
Suppressing the urge to grab the money to pay off the debt, Li Xingchen smiled and said: "That's good, this is your business, I don't know the specific details, so you will be solely responsible for it, and you can report to me then.
If there is anything else you need my help with, just ask."
"I obey your order," Xu Su smiled happily, "As long as your majesty doesn't be rude to me."
Li Xingchen smiled awkwardly, he was not so shameless, but Xu Su was so stingy, he still did not forget to tease: "Now in our family, I seem to be the poorest, and all of you are little rich women.
"
Yuan Lexhang smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wrong. Sister Xu's money is also allocated from the inner palace. The inner palace is where your majesty's private money is, so this money is just sister Xu's help."
It’s just for Your Majesty’s expense, in the final analysis it’s His Majesty’s money.”
Can we not spend it?
Of course, Li Xinchen knew that as long as the money was worth the money, he would spend as much as he could. Being a miser would only make him miserable and eventually perish.
Only when this money is spent and the public opinion is cultivated can the Han Dynasty enjoy long-term peace and stability and a long-lasting country.
"Yes, then you should spend your money wisely. If something goes wrong, I will ask you for it!" Li Xingchen nodded and said, "Whether it is a college or a hospital, we would rather reduce the quantity than make shoddy products, whether it is misleading students or misleading students.
I can’t spare you even human life.”
"I dare not disobey His Majesty's orders." Xu Su smiled and said, "But I am also in trouble, that is, there are not that many gentlemen in the academy and the free school. Shouldn't Your Majesty help?"
Li Xingchen pondered for a moment. Of course he could understand this problem. The north has been war-torn and desolate for a long time, and the brain drain is also very serious. Whether it is going south or north, there is basically no connection between the talents and the Central Plains, even if they are there.
They are rare. Very few people in the Central Plains can read, let alone teach.
"I will try my best to recruit talents from various academies and places." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice. The academies in the south, Guanzhong, Bashu and other places have begun to allocate manpower and mobilize students to go north, but these people have invested in the vast
In the Central Plains, it is just a drop in the bucket, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to support the current demand.
Talents, talents were more scarce than money and food, and they strangled Li Xingchen by the throat.
It's hard to walk.
Xu Su felt Li Xingchen's difficulty and gently held his hand: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will help your Majesty find a solution. I have informed my uncle about this matter before, and he will mobilize again in Chengdu."
Some people came to support. In addition, there are many people from various families in the south who can be used by Your Majesty. I wonder if Your Majesty wants to use them?"
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment. He had ignored the existence of the aristocratic family.
Because the Jiangnan family stood on the opposite side of Li Xinchen, those who took the lead were killed by Li Xinchen, and there were still many people left. They have been very honest in recent years. After all, they were labeled as rebels and had already been ostracized by the entire society.
, in addition to the fact that almost all the land and other things that are necessary for survival have been deprived of, the remaining few acres of land are just to feed the family, and naturally have no influence in society, so they are naturally ignored.
.
But after all, they are children of aristocratic families. If we want to say who has the highest cultural level in the entire era, these guys still have to do their part.
Come prepared. Li Xingchen glanced at Xu Su. Xu Su has always been a person who doesn't like to talk too much. This time she had to express her meaning in a roundabout way. It was definitely not her own idea, but someone who pointed it out.
"Who means it, Duke Xiaomu? Le'er, or the Southeastern nobles?" Li Xingchen was a little unhappy. He preferred to speak directly. He was very dissatisfied with Xu Su's way of expression.
Xu Ling has long since stopped caring about world affairs, and has already drawn a clear line with the southeastern gentry, otherwise he would not have left Chengdu, not to mention his transcendent status. If he really wanted to intercede, Xu Su would not need to beat around the bush.
said.
As for the southeastern nobles, they should not be able to let Xu Ling's daughter serve as their messenger. Then it is very clear, what Lechang means?
What does Leer want to do? Is it because the appearance of Yuan Lexhang and others made her feel a sense of crisis, so she wants to win over the Jiangnan nobles?
Xu Su was startled for a moment, then hurriedly put his hand on his forehead and paid homage to Li Xingchen: "I made a mistake for a moment, please forgive me."
"Did the Queen tell you?" Li Xingchen looked a little serious.
Xu Su opened his mouth: "Your Majesty"
Li Xingchen no longer called Lechang "Le'er", but instead addressed him as the queen. She was obviously angry, which made her wonder if she should speak out.
"Okay, I understand, I will consider this matter, and I will talk to the queen about it." Li Xingchen rubbed his eyebrows.
He knew that Xu Su was just sending a message and there was no need to do anything to her.
What's more, Lechang may not necessarily take the initiative. As Princess Nanchen, she has the various families in the southeast standing behind her. It is reasonable for the families in the southeast to come to her and hope to have a chance to stand up. It is difficult for Lechang to refuse.
The prince still needs their support.
Regardless of whether there is a noble family or not, factional disputes are inevitable.
It's just that the Jiangnan aristocratic families have something to say, but there is no need to use this method. The freedom of the harem should still be free from politics. If the harem interferes with politics, it will cause too much criticism. Although Li Xingchen advocates equality between men and women, the status of the harem is too
I'm sensitive, so I'd better be more careful about this.
Li Xingchen's change of attitude obviously made Chen Yueyi and Yuan Lexhang a little frightened.
He forced a smile and said: "Just do whatever you have to do. I haven't lost my mind yet and I have to blame you. I am with you and your wife to stabilize the situation in the north first."
Chen Yueyi and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
His Majesty was obviously angry this time, but even so, he still managed to restrain himself and did not want to get angry at them, which naturally made them feel warm in their hearts.
