Li Yunze glanced at the ministers below, then specifically glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and said in a calm voice:
"Every penny of this disaster relief money will be spent on the victims. If anyone dares to use money for disaster relief, then I will destroy his clan."
The ministers in the court were slightly shocked when they heard this.
In disaster relief in the past dynasties, in addition to feeding the imperial envoys and ministers, there were also layers of exploitation at each level. It would be good if half of the money was spent on the victims.
But now the emperor says that not a penny of silver can be spared. How is this possible?
Are these ministers who go to provide disaster relief busy in vain? This is hard work. If there are no benefits, who would want to do it?
Several officials from the Ministry of Revenue looked at each other and said nothing.
At this time, Ye Mingxuan and Lin Zhong clasped their hands and said, "I will live up to the emperor's expectations."
No matter how dissatisfied they were, several officials from the Ministry of Revenue did not dare to show it, and they still said obediently: "I obey the order."
Li Yunze first smiled, then looked at the courtiers and said calmly: "How did you work as errands before? I don't want to ask, but now you must follow my regulations.
If you can do something good, stay, if you can't do it, resign and go back to your hometown. I will never delay everyone's return to enjoy glory and wealth.
But if you choose to stay, then serve me well. Don't take the salary from the court and enjoy the admiration of the people, but do nothing about personnel matters.
Don't even think that you can do whatever you want if you have some power in your hands? Go back and restrain your family. If I find anyone who dares to use power for personal gain, I will not be lenient. "
The entire hall was silent, from the first-rank officials to the fifth-rank officials, everyone was silent.
Li Yunze looked at the faces of several first-rank officials and smiled coldly in his heart.
He will lead his troops south next month, and he will give these people a showdown before leaving. It saves them one by one a fight against Tongtong.
Li Yunze hit him with a stick and gave him a sweet date, "I believe that all of you are good officials who serve the people wholeheartedly, and you should be able to distinguish between the important and the important."
After saying this, without even looking at the reactions of the people below, he stood up and announced, "Retreat from the court."
Everyone reacted and immediately knelt down and shouted: "Best farewell to the Emperor, long live long live long live long live."
After Li Yunze left, the ministers began to whisper.
Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe bowed their hands to several people they had become friends with before turning around and leaving the hall.
Officials close to him followed them both.
Li Chaoyang and Mantang kept talking there, listening to the discussions of the ministers.
When Li Yunze returned to his residence, he saw that the door was closed and Ling Lan was sitting on the porch reading the account book. He knew that Ye Yutong had entered the space.
He didn't go back to his room, but went directly to the study in the front yard.
Ye Yutong picked a basket of fine purple Ganoderma lucidum and dozens of ginseng plants, and prepared to dry them and grind them into powder for Li Yunze to take with him.
When she finished her work and had some space, Li Yunze had already prepared lunch.
Seeing that her face didn't look angry, Li Yunze felt relieved and told her about the disaster in Yongzhou.
"I appointed my eldest brother as the imperial envoy to assist the Ministry of Household Affairs in going to Yongzhou for disaster relief."
Ye Yutong sighed: "There are too many natural disasters here. After the autumn harvest, building dams and digging reservoirs have to be put on the schedule."
Li Yunze nodded, "I told Uncle Xie Dong a few days ago. He has a lot of research in this area, and Mr. Bai also knows a bit. I am going to let the two of them go to various places to investigate and plan how to build it."
Ye Yutong suddenly remembered that there seemed to be many books on this topic in the space, which she had prepared before traveling through time.
At that time, she went to several bookstores to find such a book.
"Peace, there are a few books on water conservancy engineering in the space. We will find them tonight, and then copy them and give them to Uncle Xie Dong and Mr. Bai."
Li Yunze asked in surprise: "Really."
He happily walked around the room, "Tongtong, that's great. If it's your technology, it will be no problem."
"Not necessarily. Let's let Uncle Xie Dong and Mr. Bai take a look first."
Ye Yutong knew that ancient water conservancy projects were already very advanced, but she didn't know much about this dynasty.
It would be great if those books come in handy.
It was not in vain that she went to several bookstores to buy it.
"Tongtong, are you not angry with me anymore?" Li Yunze asked cautiously.
Ye Yutong glared at him and said after a while: "Ping An, King Pingnan is full of tricks, and the south is his territory. You must be careful when you go there."
Li Yunze said solemnly: "I know, Tongtong, I will never let anything happen to me. I still want to live with you for the rest of my life, and I also want the people of Yunchao Kingdom to live a good life. I have not realized any of these wishes." , how could something happen to yourself?"
"It's good that you know." Ye Yutong hugged his waist and rested his head on his shoulder.
"Ping An, you can rest assured to go get revenge. I will wait for you to come back here. You don't have to worry about the affairs in the court. My second brother and I will definitely help you handle it."
Li Yunze kissed her deeply on the forehead, "Thank you, Tongtong."
The two hugged each other and quietly enjoyed this warm moment.
Ye Yutong rolled his eyes and asked with a smile: "Ping An, what if I get used to enjoying the supreme power and sitting in that position, and don't want to give up the throne to you in the future?"
Li Yunze was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. He happily hugged Ye Yutong and spun around.
"Tongtong, if you really like that position, that would be great. You will go to court every day from now on, and I will cook at home, take care of the children, farm, and serve you comfortably every day."
When he said the next few words, his hands began to become unsteady.
Ye Yutong slapped his hand away and scolded with a smile: "Get out of here, you want to be beautiful. You are tired of fighting with those old foxes every day. Come back soon. I don't have much patience to deal with them."
