Emperor Xia is half a land god!
He has very good hearing, and when he heard the deposed prince's words, he couldn't help but glare at him!
This guy really only has a little cleverness but no great wisdom.
He didn't destroy the wrong person!
Think about it, this guy entered the East Palace because of Xiaojiu, and also because Xiaojiu was deposed, so his trip to the East Palace is considered "complete"!
Think about it again, Xiaoba, the deposed prince, entered the East Palace because of Xiaojiu’s recommendation, and it was also because Xiaojiu was deposed... It’s also very satisfactory!
Emperor Xia's expression became strange!
at this time.
Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian is also in a complicated mood!
He calls himself Prime Minister Zuo?
"Right Prime Minister, there is no better way!"
Emperor Xia's eyes circled back and forth between Sima Jian and Xia Tian. He felt that the scene in front of him was very interesting and couldn't help but interject: "Prime Minister Zuo, you don't have a better way, but you refuse to adopt Prime Minister Right's method... ...Could he be jealous of the wisdom and talent of the Prime Minister and deliberately veto it?"
"You are the Zuo Prime Minister of the Daxia Empire and the head of all officials. You must give all officials a chance!"
The emperor's words were spoken very softly, as if he didn't say anything, but he was obedient... The emperor was blaming Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian for not being broad-minded enough and not giving other officials a chance!
This is a rebuke, rebuking in front of all the important ministers of the court, not giving Sima Jian any face!
Since Sima Jian entered the court as prime minister, this is the first time the emperor has reprimanded him in front of the courtiers!
"Huh......"
The courtiers all over the place took a deep breath and were all shocked!
Their eyes went back and forth between Emperor Xia, Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian, and Xia Tian, as if they wanted to see a flower!
Right Prime Minister Xia Tian is the prince, the emperor's son!
Right Prime Minister Xia Tian is also the son-in-law of Left Prime Minister Sima Jian!
These three people are the most closely connected relatives in the world!
But, it doesn’t look harmonious now!
This is very interesting!
Are my son and me really related?
Or are they related to Weng’s son-in-law?
At this time.
Not only did Sima Jian's expression remain unchanged, but he smiled brightly: "Your Majesty, I know that in the face of this year's natural disasters, everyone should unite and cope with the difficulties together. Prime Minister Right, this method is indeed the best policy and can indeed solve the problem of the refugees. question!"
At this point, Sima Jian's words changed: "However, if the refugees are divided into all the wealthy families, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the wealthy households in the imperial capital. At that time, the wealthy households will have grudges and will definitely have conflicts with the refugees. There was even bloodshed!”
"At that time, the problem that arises will not be just the problem of refugees!"
Sima Jian's words are meaningful and his thoughts are very reasonable!
Emperor Xia nodded!
The death of a refugee is a small matter, but if the dignitaries of the imperial capital are provoked into a riot, it will be a big deal to shake the foundation of Daxia.
However, Emperor Xia had his own thoughts: "Prime Minister Zuo, since Prime Minister Right has said this, I believe he has a way to prevent this from happening. Don't be too arbitrary!"
Emperor Xia was determined to sow discord between Sima Jian and Xia Tian!
Sima Jian knew it all!
beside.
Xia Tian doesn't speak!
He just listens to the confrontation between two old foxes!
"Your Majesty said so!"
Sima Jian said respectfully: "It's our veteran Meng Lang!"
"However, the reason why I don't agree with this method is because I believe that Prime Minister You has inherited your Majesty's great wisdom and has a better way to solve the problem of refugees in the imperial capital!"
Emperor Xia turned to Xia Tian: "Right Prime Minister, do you have a better way?"
Suddenly.
The ears of the courtiers all over the place just stood up again.
There has been so much preparation in the summer, just waiting for this question!
What he says now will soon spread throughout the imperial capital and reach the ears of rich people all over the city!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, due to this year's cold disaster, food shortages have hit the entire Great Xia Empire, causing food prices to rise crazily in various places, with the imperial capital experiencing the craziest price increases. In the past, one tael of silver could buy a stone of corn, but now, it costs ten taels of silver to buy a stone of corn! "
"The Minister of Hubu said that now, the prices of various grains in the imperial capital have increased more than ten times!"
"So, food in the imperial capital is as valuable as gold!"
"Since the famine occurred, the reason why the court's money for disaster relief has been used up so quickly is because the price of food in the empire is too high!"
"Liu Zhi just said that because some refugees have done evil things, the wealthy households in the imperial capital are unwilling to help the refugees!"
"Actually, the real reason why the entire empire is not helping the refugees now is... food is as expensive as gold, and they are reluctant to help the refugees!"
When Xia Tian said this, he said solemnly: "But if you don't care about the refugees in the Imperial Capital, one day they will starve into the homes of the wealthy households in the Imperial Capital and loot them!"
"At that time, not only one or two wealthy households will be unlucky, but all the wealthy households in the entire imperial capital will be unlucky!"
"Because once the refugees riot, it will sweep the whole city!"
Xia Tian said these words very loudly, and those courtiers who listened carefully... listened to the anxiety that Xia Tian gave them!
They began to worry about the consequences if the refugees were cornered!
at this time.
Emperor Xia wanted to praise Xia Tian.
This child's wisdom is so adorable!
Xia Tian continued: "So, I still think that the best way is to distribute the refugees to the homes of wealthy households in the city and let them exchange labor for food. In this way, the food problem will be solved directly, and the rich will not suffer!"
Emperor Xia was still very cooperative: "Let me tell you the second way!"
Xia Tian said respectfully: "Yes!"
Hear the words.
The ears of the courtiers in the audience stood up straighter!
Xia Tian said seriously: "Officials from the DPRK and China took the lead in donating food to relieve the victims and meet their urgent needs!"
"Then, call on the rich households in the city to donate food, and let the imperial court build a refugee camp outside the city, and let the imperial court handle the issue of refugees in the imperial capital!"
"Finally, let all the grain stores in the city sell grain at a reduced price, and let the court use the limited money to buy more grain and feed more refugees!"
Sima Jian frowned: "Right Prime Minister, for the sake of the peace of the imperial capital and the family home, in this case, ask the rich households in the city to donate some food. I guess no one will say anything!"
"But if we lower the price of food... it's probably impossible!"
All the courtiers in the room nodded!
They agreed with what Sima Jian said!
Yes, they can use part of the food to help the victims!
However, the price of food will never be reduced!
no way!
Right Prime Minister, you are still young!
Doesn't he know that public anger is hard to offend?
Doesn’t he know that cutting off people’s wealth is like killing their parents?
The courtiers all over the place looked at Xia Tian with a hint of contempt in their eyes!
However, Xia Tian's eyes are full of seriousness at this time: "They will be willing!"
Suddenly.
Emperor Xia felt a chill running down his spine!
It seemed like some big trouble was about to happen to him!
He frowned, dispelling the chill down his spine!
In Daxia, he is the biggest in the world. Is there any trouble that he can't solve?
If so, what trouble would it be?
