"Pfft~"
At this time, Yang Si suddenly sneered: "I'm afraid it's not just helping your own Li family to harvest all the grain!"
"How come the Li family is also a citizen of Daxia? I am also helping the people of Daxia." Li Zong looked at Yang Si and shouted.
"Is what Yang Si said true?" Xia Shouren stared at Li Zong.
"Your Majesty, I can't persuade the people in Nanhai not to engage in farming and mulberry farming, and the government manpower in Nanhai is also limited."
"I took those people to find my family. My family has the most cultivated land in the entire South China Sea. I discussed it with the clan leader."
"I will help with the harvest, and then in addition to the normal taxes, they will give an extra 10% of the harvest to the government." Li Zong was still thinking of using Li's 10% of the harvest as excuse.
Hearing this, all the civil and military officials present fell silent. This guy is a bit stupid!
"Where are the other people in Nanhai?" Xia Shouren no longer expected Li Zong to do anything practical at this time.
"Then there's nothing I can do. The manpower is limited, and the people are indifferent." Li Zong said with an aggrieved look.
"Then tell me, how many people in Nanhai can be saved with Li's 10% harvest." Xia Shouren's voice was slightly cold.
"This..." Li Zong hesitated.
How many people can Li's 10% harvest support? Not to mention just 10%, even if the entire harvest of a year is taken out, it will not be enough for Pengcheng, let alone the entire South China Sea.
"Very good, my imperial envoy, is this how you do things?" Xia Shouren looked at Li Zong coldly.
"Your Majesty, I didn't do anything wrong." Li Zong still looked confused.
"Put it off!" Xia Shouren was also tired. He no longer wanted to hear those stupid things Li Zong said.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am right!" Li Zong was still struggling.
But he was dragged out ruthlessly by the Imperial Guards.
"Former Minister of Household Affairs, Li Zong, Imperial Envoy of Nanhai!"
"The corpses are sitting on a plain meal, using power for personal gain, mobilizing court personnel to help the Li family harvest food, regardless of the life and death of the people in the South China Sea."
"Abolish the official position! Contribute to the civilian camp! Send to the north!" Xia Shouren said coldly!
All civil and military officials bowed their heads slightly! No one dared to speak out. Everyone knew that if it weren't for Yang Si who was sent by Xia Shouren later, the South China Sea would probably be in chaos now.
This Li Zong is really a bit stupid.
The situation in the north is tense now because of the Hu people, although no specific solution has been discussed.
But mobilize troops! Absolutely.
What needs to be discussed now is which troops to transfer and how many to transfer.
The soldiers and horses have not moved forward with food and fodder. Although it has not yet been decided how many coolies will be mobilized, coolies and civilians are already being recruited.
Li Zong was packed into the Minfu Camp and had to go through several trips to get food and grass. Whether he could survive or not depended on his own luck.
"As for the Li family... hum..." Xia Shouren glanced at Li Ji and snorted softly.
Li Ji, the Minister of Punishment, lowered his head slightly and remained silent. Li Zong was really stupid, and Li Ji didn't intend to ask for mercy.
Looking at Li Ji who was silent, Xia Shouren felt a little pity that Li Ji didn't speak.
Otherwise, he can take the opportunity to beat the family again.
Most of the people from these aristocratic families are in high positions because they are relatively well educated.
That is to say, more than two hundred years ago, the late emperor suppressed aristocratic families and used poor children. Finally, it took more than two hundred years to reach today's situation.
In the past, the aristocratic family had a monopoly, and the imperial power had to give way to the aristocratic family at some point. However, such a large Xia needed the help of these highly educated children of the aristocratic family to help manage it.
Once upon a time, this was an endless cycle.
Therefore, Xia Shouren was also very keen on suppressing the aristocratic family.
Although Li Zong has been pulled out now, it is not painful at all for the Minister of Hubu.
However, Xia Shouren also knew that these aristocratic families could not be forced to be too impatient now. Boiling frogs in warm water was the way to go.
Since Li Ji didn't say anything, Xia Shouren naturally gave up when he saw what was going on.
"If there's something going on, go ahead! If there's nothing going on, leave the court!"
For a while, all the civil and military officials were silent.
"The imperial court will retreat at the end of the month!"
Then Emperor Xia Shouren stood up from the dragon throne and left.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Xia Shouren left, and then the civil and military officials also exited in an orderly manner.
...
This is how the end-of-the-month meeting ended.
Yang Si followed Yang Er out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in boredom.
Then Yang Si saw several eunuchs and several officials. Situ Luochuan and Sikong Ye Sheng were among them.
Several ministers were also called over.
Civil and military officials have long been accustomed to this.
"These people who were called over are the real court meeting." Yang Er spoke to Yang Si in a low voice.
Hearing this, Yang Si was speechless. The great meeting of feelings only allowed civil and military officials to show their faces and quarrel, and almost did not solve any practical problems.
Yang Si shook his head helplessly: "I think I won't come to this big court meeting. It's very boring."
"Haha!" Yang Er laughed.
Yang Si and a group of people poured out of the imperial city.
"Okay, fourth brother, Wang Guanshen, please leave first. I have to stay in the palace for a while." Yang Er said to Yang Si and Wang Guan.
Yang Si nodded slightly when he heard this. Obviously Yang Er should have something else to report to Xia Shouren.
"Wang Guan, let's go." Yang Si looked at Wang Guan.
"Okay!" Wang Dian nodded. This is a common thing. It is quite common for Yang Er to stay in the imperial city for a period of time after almost every court meeting.
"Xiao Si!" At this time, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Dad!" Yang Er looked to the side helplessly.
A middle-aged man in armor walked over.
"Second uncle!" Yang Si also greeted with a smile.
"Haha, Wang Guan is the master!" Yang Yanzhao greeted Wang Guan next to him.
"I've met General Yang!" As the commander of the Royal Forest Army, Yang Yanzhao is responsible for the security of the entire imperial city, and his authority is above that of Wang Guan.
"Then you guys chat, I'll take my leave first." Wang Guan naturally knew that there was no need for him to feel uncomfortable when the whole family was chatting.
"Wang Guan Shen catches his farewell!"
Yang Si nodded, and finally added: "Don't forget it tomorrow!"
"Haha, I will be there on time!" Wang Guan laughed.
Then Wang Guan left.
"What?" Yang Er looked at Yang Si in confusion.
"We have an appointment to sell them some elixirs tomorrow." Yang Si smiled and explained.
The first day of the month was the day when Yang Si promised those masters in Lin'an County to take out the Nine-Transformation Soul-Reviving Pill and start shooting it at Jishi Pharmacy.
Moreover, Yang Si also told the Seven Star Sword Maid that the second floor of Jishi Pharmacy will not be open for the time being tomorrow.
Wang Guan left.
Yang Yanzhao reached out and patted Yang Si on the shoulder: "Not bad, not bad. I've heard everything about you recently. You haven't brought shame to the Yang family. You are more promising than your second brother!"
"???" Yang Er looked at his father with a question mark on his face. Even if you want to praise Yang Si, there is no need to belittle your own son.
"Second uncle!"
"Second brother!"
"Fourth brother!"
A surprised voice came.
"Little Tiger!" Yang Si also looked at Yang Hu, who was wearing armor, with some surprise.
I haven’t seen Yang Hu for a long time.
So you can see that the aura on his body is slightly more iron-blooded, a bit like the cheap daddy Yang Yanxuan.
Darker and stronger!
