Jinluan Hall, as its name suggests, has gilded jade residences, white jade floors, and lifelike jade-carved dragon bodies. It is majestic, domineering, gorgeous and dazzling.
On the dragon chair, Qin Xiao watched from all directions and listened to all directions, accepting the worship of hundreds of officials and shouting uniformly long live the sound.
Qin Xiao never thought that scenes in movies and TV dramas would happen to him. One day, he would be able to sit on a high platform and overlook all living beings and accept others' raised heads to look up at him.
At this moment, the desire brought by power amplified infinitely in his heart. A good man should be so drunk that he lies on the lap of a beautiful woman and wakes up to take over the power of the world!
I am determined to be this emperor.
It's useless even if Jesus comes. I don't care who he is, as long as he becomes bigger and stronger and lives happily!
"Your Majesty, there have been heavy rains in Shanhaiguan for three consecutive years and flash floods have broken out. The people have no fixed place to live, and there is no food harvest. Now a large number of refugees are pouring towards the capital!" An old man with a white beard wearing a green official uniform walked to the center and burst into tears. said.
When Qin Xiao heard this, he didn't expect that the flood had become so serious. If it continued like this, the country would be destroyed!
After he pondered for a moment, the dragon's eyes bloomed with a captivating light, and he said loudly: "Send food! Send money! Lumen must be settled no matter what!"
"Where are the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs? Are they dead? Let me know. I will allocate money immediately to help the refugees!"
"Don't leave me idle at the Ministry of War. We can raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a short period of time. We will immediately send troops to Shanhaiguan to help the refugees rebuild their homes!"
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials looked at each other in shock. The current Daqian treasury might even shed tears after seeing this.
At this time, an old fat man with a bloated body and a stout figure came out. The fat on his face formed a line with his eyes, and he was very thoughtful. This man's name was Tang Sicheng. He was the official father of Concubine Li, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and most of the civil and military officials. With him as the leader.
He is a powerful official who wields power.
The fat on his face trembled, and he said with embarrassment: "Returning to your majesty, the Ministry of Revenue is also too full of ambition and lack of energy. The treasury is as clean as the old minister's face at this time, and there is no money at all. Your majesty built Yongle the year before last. The palace has already spent most of the national treasury’s savings, and this year His Majesty is going to build the Wuji Palace again, so all the money has been spent.”
"Not to mention allocating money to help refugees, even the salaries of officials are so worrying that I can't even eat, Your Majesty!"
Can’t even pay out your salary?
Qin Xiao was shocked. According to the memory of the original owner, the Daqian Dynasty had a vast territory, countless mines, tens of millions of grasslands, and countless fertile fields. How could it be reduced to the point where officials could not even pay their salaries?
His first reaction was that there was a big tiger, eating and stealing.
"Now immediately bring me the details of the treasury over the past years. I want to see how you got so poor!" His brows were furrowed and his tone was cold.
Tang Sicheng saw His Majesty's brows furrowed and couldn't help but be surprised. What happened to His Majesty today? Why did he suddenly want to see the state of the treasury?
Surprised, he didn't worry too much and just asked someone to fetch the detailed records of the treasury over the years.
After ten minutes, the book was delivered and passed into Qin Xiao's hands.
After he read it carefully, his face became darker and darker, and he took a deep breath.
Oh shit! The money was actually spent like this. His previous life was really ridiculous. He was either building Yongle Palace or Wuji Palace. He would take Concubine Li on a southern tour every three days, wasting people and money.
But that's not all.
He probably estimated that even if he built two new palaces, his southern tour every three days would not empty out the treasury and make it impossible for officials to pay their salaries.
Not really, not really.
There must be rotten roots under the towering trees.
He sneered in his heart, since there is a big tiger in my world, I will kill it. It's just that now that I'm here for the first time, I don't have anyone I can trust. If I rashly attack a tiger or scare a snake, I may suffer backlash. It seems I can only think about it in the long term.
After thinking for a long time, he said seriously: "I have stopped the construction of Wuji Hall, all additional expenses have been reduced, and all entertainment projects have been stopped."
"Starting from me, all food and clothing expenses will be halved. In addition, whether the Yongle Palace in the suburbs is auctioned or converted into a winery for rent, I will see the money within three days! I must allocate the money to Shanhaiguan in three days. !”
After the words were finished, the hall fell into silence. All the civil and military officials had their jaws dislocated and almost fell to the ground, their eyes full of shock.
Is this still our Majesty? The Shanhaiguan flood has been reported to the public for three consecutive years, but he has never paid any attention to it. What on earth did he get excited about today?
Tang Sicheng's eyes flashed with confusion, and he looked at Qin Xiao calmly, and he chose to remain silent.
"God bless you, Your Majesty's civil and military skills 1"
"Shanhaiguan is alive, the refugees have been saved, and the refugees no longer have to wander around."
"Long live your Majesty!"
The old man in green clothes and white beard who had stood up before fell to the ground and howled. Everyone was shocked.
Qin Xiao had an impression. This person was Bu Qingyi from the Hanlin Academy!
As the name suggests, he was originally a commoner scholar, and he was admitted to the Hanlin Academy from the bottom all the way, for the sake of the common people in the world. In the past three years, I have been constantly writing about the Shanhaiguan flood, but my predecessor indulged in drinking and sex, turned away the elderly many times, was thrown into jail several times, and suffered a lot.
A sense of sadness arose in his heart mixed with resentment towards his predecessor, and he secretly thought in his heart that he was dedicated to great things and was a useful person who must be reused in the future!
here!
Tang Sicheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, looked around with gloomy eyes and paused on an official.
The official understood the situation well and walked to the center, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
"Yes!" Qin Xiao waved his hand domineeringly.
"Bandits have been causing trouble all year round on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Their number has grown from dozens to tens of thousands today. They commit all kinds of rape, robbery and robbery. The nearby residents are miserable, and wealthy businessmen have been harassed by them all year round!"
"If we don't take any measures, I'm afraid the country's foundation will be shaken!"
Qin Xiao rubbed the center of his brows, and suddenly realized that the current Dagan was riddled with holes and was on the verge of collapse!
"What else is there to think about? Let me send my troops to do the damn thing." His attitude was very obvious. Things that shake the foundation of the country must not be tolerated and must be stopped.
His gaze like a torch swept across the civil and military officials, "My beloved sirs, who is willing to go and exterminate this gang of bandits for me?"
The civil servants looked like they were watching a show, while the generals looked at you and me. No one dared to take the risk. Everyone knew that the next military achievement that Da Gan lost must belong to the Tang family. Whoever dared to snatch it would be killed tomorrow. If you wear small shoes, you will be afraid of your life if you lose your official position!
Suddenly, one of the civil servants watching the show walked out and recommended righteously: "Your Majesty, General Tang Shanhu is qualified for this trip!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, someone immediately echoed.
"Yes, General Tang is young and promising, and he can be easily defeated by a mere gangster with a wave of his hand."
"General Tang is loyal and patriotic. His heart can express the heaven, earth, sun and moon. He is a brave general. He is also good at marching and formation. The battle on the Tea Horse Road must be General Tang!"
