After a while, a middle-aged man with a sad face rushed over with his head down and saluted respectfully: "See Your Majesty!"

The original Guo Tan can be said to be full of energy.

Although in the deserted country, the civil servant's status was much worse than that of military generals, he, as the Minister of Revenue, was still valued because the emperor needed his help to make money.

Although the government affairs are tiring every day, they are orderly and never feel sad.

Although he is nearly fifty years old, he looks quite young. Not only does he have the sharpness of a young man, but also the wisdom, confidence and calmness of a middle-aged man. Sometimes the maids at home blush when they see him.

As a result, it is now difficult for a month due to financial problems.

The white hair on his head was one after another, and his face became much older.

They all have no money to make trouble!

After the minister arrived, Jiang Zhiyu's expression was full of sorrow, with a hint of majesty in his expression: "What's important about Guo Qing's family?"

Guo Tan sighed: "Your Majesty, the construction of the Seven Cities Iron Kiln has begun, but the money allocated now is only enough to complete it, and the wages for hiring craftsmen and coolies cannot be freed up.

Although he was not in a hurry, Lord Qi from the Ministry of Works came to the minister again, saying that people would have immediate worries without long-term plans. If they had no money to hire workers, the money for building kilns would be wasted."

Jiang Zhiyu asked, "So you came here today and asked me for money again?"

The word "re" silenced both of them.

Guo Tan looked bitter.

What can he do?

He was also very wronged!

The Ministry of Revenue's expenses this month are more than in the previous year.

If another prince was in power now, he would have turned into a troll and started cursing in the court. After all, how could he be so eager for quick success or instant benefits?

Unfortunately, the person in front of him was Jiang Zhiyu, so he couldn't even scold him.

Although Duke Zhenguo and General Shenwu were not in the court, the three words Duke Zhenguo are the Dinghai Sword of the Desolation Kingdom. Now that Jiang Zhao has become a family, no one can shake Jiang Zhiyu's authority.

What's more, although Jiang Zhiyu is a little eager for quick success and instant benefits, all of this is for the wasteland.

If we can really survive this period of time, the deserted country will definitely be able to enter the prosperous era in a very short time.

Moreover, a month ago, Zhao Hao's methods of dealing with the people of Zhuyi City were quite efficient and popular. Although it took time and consumables and labor, it solved the hidden dangers of Zhuyi City once and for all.

The vast majority of people with dissenting intentions all caught fire.

The interests of normal people were not damaged at all, and they even took a paid vacation for one month.

It can be seen from this that the couple is truly good to the people and has quite a way to govern the country.

Have majesty, means, and kindness.

Can such an emperor contradict him?

Obviously not to contradict!

But the problem is that there is really no money!

Jiang Zhiyu was also a little helpless. Generally speaking, the emperor asked the Ministry of Revenue for money, but now the whole country of Huang was so poor that it was so poor.

It is to make things difficult for him to get the money.

Getting money yourself is embarrassing yourself.

She pondered for a moment and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, Guo Qing's family, Feiyuwei found another family in Jicheng that evaded taxes for wealthy people. The fine will be reached within three days."

Guo Tan: "..."

Although it is a little helpless, I have to admit that there is one thing that Feiyuwei has indeed relieved a lot of financial pressure.

In those relatively wealthy cities, there will always be several not-so-clean families. In the past, they always turned a blind eye to the country for stability, but now they can only take action against them.

If you don’t kill them, you just cut off your flesh and cut off their vaults, but you can’t hurt the fundamentals, otherwise it will be bad if you affect your productivity.

He was silent for a while and asked carefully: "How much gold can your Majesty raise this time?"

Jiang Zhiyu smiled and said, "There is still 50,000 yuan, but the Guo Qing family just need to do it with confidence."

Fifty thousand gold...

Guo Tan smiled bitterly and opened seven kiln factories at the same time. How long can the 50,000 gold last?

He hesitated for a while and said, "Your Majesty! Why not accept Qi State and the temple..."

This month, the wasteland country has been very disturbed. How could it not cause reaction from other countries?

A few days ago, the Qi State Business Group visited and expressed its willingness to invest in various industries in the deserted country, and to send craftsmen to assist friendly countries. As long as Jiang Zhiyu nodded, he would get nearly 800,000 gold.

There is also the largest temple in Wei State. If you want to build a temple in the deserted country, you are willing to spend 300,000 yuan.

In addition to them, there are people from several other countries.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Zhiyu: "This matter is absolutely impossible. Don't mention this matter again in the future. This move concerns our plan to build a country in desolate, and it is impossible for other countries to get a piece of the pie. If the secret is stolen, wouldn't it be a wedding dress for others?"

Guo Tan opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he heard a voice coming from the door.

"Your Majesty, it's time to have a meal!"

This voice is full of energy and clear, and it is obviously not the eunuch's voice.

Guo Tan turned around and saw a tall and handsome young man walking in with a food box.

He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

I haven't seen each other for just a month, why did Zhao Hao's complexion become so good?

Moreover, the true energy in the body is surging, and there is at least a third-level cultivation level.

this……

When Jiang Zhiyu saw Zhao Hao coming, she couldn't help but smile happily, but she couldn't show it too obviously even if she had a minister here.

Zhao Hao walked over to himself, opened the food box, and asked, "Your Majesty! Shangshu Guo worked hard for the deserted country, so I'll serve him a bowl too!"

Jiang Zhiyu nodded with a smile: "It should be so!"

When Guo Tan heard this, he was flattered and quickly bowed: "Thank you Your Majesty!"

Zhao Hao quickly served three bowls and placed one of them in front of Jiang Zhiyu: "Your Majesty is tired, you have a meal first. I will go to the door and bask in the sun!"

"Um!"

Jiang Zhiyu looked at him with a smile. It was really good that her husband felt like he was standing up for him.

Zhao Hao smiled, then stuffed a bowl into Guo Tan's hand, and walked out with another bowl: "Let's go! Lao Guo, go bask in the sun."

Guo Tan looked at the chicken soup in the bowl and could only follow him.

Soon, the two of them sat shoulder to shoulder on the steps in front of the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

"Old Guo! I have heard about Kyoto. Thank you for your hard work these days!"

Zhao Hao's tone and expression were quite sincere.

Guo Tan sighed: "Share your worries is what our ministers should do!"

He couldn't help but glance at Zhao Hao for a longer time.

To be honest, even when Jiang Zhiyu ascended the throne, he thought that Zhao Hao was just a young man, but he could do business and write poetry.

But after the Zhuyicheng incident, he sorted out all the things Zhao Hao had done before and found out that this person is really talented and can really endure it, and he couldn't help but feel a little more admiration in his heart.

Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Why don't you share the worries for the king? Whether it's the emperor or the minister, you actually share the worries for the people. During this period, your civil ministers are worried, and Your Majesty is worried. What is your purpose? Isn't it just that the people of tens of thousands of deserted countries don't have to worry in the future?"

Hearing this, Guo Tan couldn't help but remain silent.

Damn it!

The pattern suddenly became higher.

He sighed: "Then I'll think of another way!"

Zhao Hao shook the chicken soup in his hand: "Yes! Only when we suffer the most, the people will be the best! I wish you this bowl of chicken soup!"

After saying that, I drank it all in one go.

Guo Tan nodded and immediately prepared to do it.

As a result, I found that something was wrong with the chicken soup as soon as I got in my mouth, and I couldn't help but be surprised.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao's words, "Only the people will be the best when we suffer," are not false statements, he can really bear this suffering!

What a cruel person!

Holding the strange smell, Guo Tan made up his mind and drank the chicken soup in one go!

Zhao Hao was very comforted by seeing Lao Hu.

This old man can handle it, and he really dares to drink chicken soup!

He couldn't help but say excitedly: "Okay! Lord Guo is indeed brave. In the past, people always heard that civil servants in our wasteland are doing logistics! But now I, Mr. Zhao, dare to say in front of the world: Who says that standing in the light is a hero!"
