Grain prices in Beijing have stabilized, and the next step is to solve the problem of disaster relief grains.
Zhao An conveyed news outside the palace, asking Cui Shixiang to continue raising food with those businessmen, still acting as an agent.
Thinking about it, as long as you are not a fool, you will know how to choose, and Chen Guogong can't stop him.
Moreover, Qin's food will be delivered in two days. As long as the empress can maintain law and order in the capital, it will not be a problem for everything to return to normal.
The empress asked: "You are really not afraid of Chen Guogong's assassination. If you ruin his important affairs, he will never let you go."
"What am I afraid of? His Majesty is standing in front of me."
"you……"
The empress stamped her feet. This bastard, he just praised him a few times and then he started to drift off. Whose slave asked the emperor to stand in front of him to block the gun!
In the court hall, the officials were chatting animatedly.
No one expected that Chen Guogong lost the bet and controlled so many resources, but still lost at the hands of Zhao An.
Invisibly, Chen Guogong's prestige was hit. Some officials secretly looked at Chen Guogong's back and snickered. It was quite interesting to see their boss frustrated.
"If something happens, you will report it early; if nothing happens, you will withdraw from the court."
Zhao An shouted, and the officials of Yushitai came out one after another, "Your Majesty, the young prince of Qian'an is doing some infrastructure construction outside the capital. Now that the national treasury is empty, he cannot help but spend so much money, and he has no money to do this." I'll discuss it with people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs. It's lawless and should be severely punished."
"I second the proposal."
The officials fell to their knees and tried to struggle.
Mr. Wang said disdainfully: "Everyone, the young prince provides work for relief, and provides food for the people to build their own houses. Moreover, the money is not a expenditure from the treasury, but an allocation from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Do you want to watch the people being displaced and quietly waiting to die? ?”
"Nonsense! That's not what we meant. The young prince of Qian'an is true to his service to the country and the people, but it is inconsistent with etiquette!"
"Haha, can etiquette be eaten as food? The top priority is to help the people. If the people can't live in peace, how can the country be peaceful? In my opinion, you are just forming a clique for personal gain and have no good intentions."
Lord Wang's combat prowess today was so great that several imperial officials were so angry that they raised their necks to fight passionately.
The entire court turned into a vegetable market, and it was so lively.
The empress snorted, and then the two parties gave up.
"My dear friends, you are all doing your best for the country, but disaster relief is a top priority. Now everyone should consider how to select a group of available officials for the imperial court in the autumn."
There is nothing wrong with what the empress said. Most of the current court officials are useless, especially Chen Guogong's group, who occupy the manhole and do nothing.
She had to remove them one by one.
Chen Guogong smiled softly and said, "The Holy Sect will arrive in Beijing soon. I am an old minister who is not talented, but I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty."
"I am also willing to share your worries for Your Majesty."
Lord Wang jumped out again and glared at Chen Guogong arrogantly.
Zhao An was really worried about him. If he didn't seek death, he wouldn't die. Be careful of hitting someone's gun.
"I will protect you, the Duke!"
"Yes, the Duke is the pillar of the country. Only he can select the most suitable talents for Daxia."
There are too many members of the Chen family, who have come forward to recommend him, but Mr. Wang is just a polished commander. His status and authority are not as good as those of Chen Guogong, and he has no supporters. He is just like Brother Pingtou, who only acts recklessly.
Zhang Qi didn't say anything. The last time he targeted Chen Guogong, he was coerced by the general trend and had to step forward.
But if he stands up now, it will be equivalent to standing directly against Chen. The emperor's influence is not enough, and he is still wavering.
The empress was unspeakably disappointed when she saw this, and her eyes turned to Zhao An beside her. Zhao An nodded at her, and she had no choice but to announce that Chen Guogong would be responsible for Qiu Wei.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Hehe, this time, we will definitely select a group of talents for the country."
Before the court was over, compliments started to come one after another.
Chen Guogong stood up straight and looked at Zhao An arrogantly. Zhao An said seriously: "The Za family also congratulates the Duke of Guo for presiding over the autumn palace."
"By the good words of Eunuch Zhao, I will do my best."
A quarter of an hour later, when she returned to the Imperial Study Room, the empress was unwilling to give up, "Zhao An, if I delegate power to him, how will I select talents?"
Zhao An suddenly looked like an idiot. The empress rubbed her neck and said in a sullen voice, "If you fart, just let it go. Don't look at me with that look."
"If you don't let Chen Guogong take charge, does your Majesty still have someone available? So it's better to leave it to him from the beginning."
"That……"
"Your Majesty has already summoned the Holy Sect. When they arrive, I will find time to chat with them."
"Are you sure they will support me?"
The empress still had no idea.
The Holy Sect is the supporter of scholars all over the world. If you get the help of the Holy Sect, it will be like adding more wings to a tiger. Chen Guogong will not give up. He is rich and powerful. Who can guarantee that the Cui family will not defect to him.
Zhao An smiled mysteriously and was noncommittal.
When the empress saw this, her teeth were itching with hatred. She knew that she couldn't ask anything, so she had no choice but to give up.
An order had been issued before that the memorials were not allowed to be long and obscure, so her review speed became faster. With Zhao An's help, it didn't take long for all the records to be cleared.
She wanted to go out to the palace, and it happened that Zhao An also wanted to go to the construction site.
After the carriages and horses left the palace, order had been restored in the inner and outer cities. Many people were carrying food and were beaming with joy, but no one praised Chen Guogong.
"Slave, who did you learn all those strategies in your belly?"
The empress suddenly asked, and Zhao An rolled his eyes, "There is an old man with a white beard in my dream. As soon as I close my eyes, he will jump out and teach me something, even if I don't want to learn."
"Could it be an immortal!"
The empress walked out of the carriage and sat on the shaft, her fair face full of excitement.
Zhao An chuckled and started talking nonsense to her.
The empress listened very seriously, as if she believed what the gods said, otherwise how could a eunuch have the courage and wisdom.
Half an hour later the carriage arrived at the bank of the Dagu River.
From a distance, the people in Wuyangyang are all civilians, working for relief. As long as they can have enough to eat, they don't mind putting in the effort.
At present, Xinxiang has begun to take shape.
The empress stood on the cement-filled road, opening her mouth in surprise. Moreover, the scale of the construction was too large, and how much it would cost.
Moreover, the small amount of money in the internal affairs treasury alone is simply not enough to build a new township.
Qian Yu came after hearing the news and led the two of them to a private house. There was a sand table on the table, which Zhao An asked him to plan.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, this new town didn't cost anything at all."
Qian Yu's words were not surprising, and the empress was displeased, "Don't try to deceive me. Although I live in seclusion, I also have a certain understanding of commodity prices. If I want to build this town, it will cost at least three million taels. Even if there is Zhao Zhao in the internal affairs treasury, The money An earns is far from enough.”
Qian Yu laughed.
Earlier, Zhao An had proposed the concept of attracting investment, so he specifically contacted familiar wealthy businessmen in Xichuan to come to Beijing.
Those people are willing to invest in the new city and receive many of its priorities and exemptions.
Qian Yu spoke clearly and logically according to the script, and the empress seemed to be listening to heavenly scriptures.
