Chapter 1404 Silly Empress 37

Xining pretended to be bored, but his words were gentle: "Brother Emperor, I'm in a good mood today, so don't mention this matter..."

Even if you hang a big bastard, you will be in a good mood, but when you mention the move, your head will hurt.

Prince Duan said: "Your Majesty, it has been almost a month."

Xining thought about it: "Not a month, just more than half a month."

Prince Duan was not affected by her nonsense at all: "It's the twenty-first day. Your Majesty should have made a decision. You can't wait for the minister to return to the fiefdom and wait for approval."

I just hope that after you go back, you and your twenty beautiful concubines will forget about this matter. Even if you remember, it is already five hundred miles away, and it will take half a month just to come and go.

The ministers are asked to discuss, discuss, and think about it...

Xining grimaced: "But those veterans didn't agree."

King Duan sat up straight: "Your Majesty is a king because of his decisiveness."

Xi Ning tried even harder: "It's easy for me to agree, but if those old ministers don't get what they want, they'll hit the wall. The emperor doesn't want me to become a foolish king who forces the old ministers to death, right?"

King Duan was sure that these old ministers would only yell in the court, and the empress would not question him here for relocating the population in order to support his troops: "The land of Yan is bitter and cold and is not suitable for farming. I brought people to the fiefdom to farm with fire and water, and many

What's wrong with reclaiming a few pieces of wasteland? Only those who doubt me have their intentions. Your Majesty promises me that I will pay 30% of the extra grain harvested every year as tribute."

Come on, when the grain is harvested, whether it is more or less is not up to you. If I don’t give you a grain of grain, what will I do to you?

Xining covered his head: "Ouch, I have a headache. Maybe it's because I'm tired and the wind blows. We'll discuss this later when I feel better!"

Prince Duan stood up with her and said, "Whether you agree or not is not a matter of your Majesty's words. I will take your Majesty back to your palace, and your Majesty will just say a word on the way."

The queen also stood up and looked at the empress worriedly. King Duan was determined to get an answer today. Although King Duan's troops had retreated a hundred miles away, the garrison from the neighboring states and counties had also been sent.

But the situation that was finally stabilized cannot be broken because of this incident. If you don't agree, even if King Duan tolerates it, there will be a gap in his heart, which will inevitably affect his future relationships.

"Oops~" Xining twisted her body irritably, just like a eldest lady snoring. She sat down again, angrily holding the belt in her hand and twisting it around her fingers several times.

After letting go, he slapped the table and said cheerfully: "Okay, here you go!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" King Duan immediately bowed.

The queen was shocked, knowing that this matter was of great importance. If the empress agreed here, how would the court deal with those old ministers?

"Don't thank you too early!" Xining spread his hands and said, "I agree to give you five hundred people first."

King Duan was stunned. Five hundred people? But the people he wanted to relocate were fifty thousand people.

I heard the empress speak plausibly and full of brother-sister affection: "You are my royal brother. As long as you want, I will not agree to it. But those old ministers also have to take care of it, so I will move five hundred yuan first."

People, when the food comes next year, use it to stop the mouths of those old ministers, and I will have a reason to order them over again."

Thinking about it, this idea was a good one, and the empress even started fussing: "Anyway, there are so many people coming at once, and if there is no time to make arrangements, it will be noisy. They are all asking for money, land, and food. When the time comes, the emperor will ask me for help.

, I can’t ignore it, even if the treasury is empty. Well, it’s a good arrangement for this matter, so I decided happily.”

Xi Ning spread his hands helplessly: "Brother, this is the only way to deal with this matter. Just put these five hundred people in place and put them to use. I will promise you another batch next year."

There is no bargaining like this. 50,000 people only allocated 500, but it sounds quite reasonable.

King Duan couldn't laugh or cry, so he could only bow: "I obey your order, and I thank you, Your Majesty."

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" The matter was settled smoothly, and Xining was too late to be happy. She waved her hands and said cheerfully: "You are my royal brother. It doesn't matter if you want someone. It's right. Come, let's serve tea."

play music."

Come on, that's all I gave you, and I became a good person again, and my headache no longer hurts.

The queen looked at the empress in front of her, who was chatting happily with Prince Duan. She was amused and admired. If it was his turn, he wouldn't know how to deal with it, but the empress coaxed and coaxed him to get it over with.

Already.

In the court hall the next day, as soon as this decree was announced, all the old officials were in a rage.

Yushi Weng stood up immediately and said, "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate."

Xining knew that this old guy would be indispensable every time: "Weng Aiqing, have you finished the task of checking the river bank and repairing the embankment a few days ago?"

Why are you back so early? It takes several days to come and go. Check it out, it must be at least February or March.

Weng Yushi held the wat board in both hands and reported back: "Your Majesty, the officials who regulate the river, as soon as they heard that they could make up for their mistakes, spent all their greedy money to repair the embankment, and some even sold their ancestral property. After all, the number of people who built the embankment this year was

The money does not need to be used in the national treasury. Local officials have already put it on the table one after another, and the veteran has sorted it out. The memorial I wrote today has not yet been uploaded. Please take a look at it."

After saying that, he took out the zhaozi from his sleeves, held it with both hands and raised it above his head.

When the eunuch in charge passed by, Weng Yushi put the zazi on the tray and asked the eunuch to pass it to the empress.

Xining took the note and opened it, looked at it, and sneered. If it hadn't been for someone to show it, he would have thought that the treasury was a mountain of gold and silver that could not be emptied.

"This is very good." Xining was overjoyed and put the note aside: "I love you now."

"I'm not tired, old minister!" Yushi Weng stood there, as hard and stubborn as an old tree stump: "The matter was resolved before the old minister had time to leave. It's all thanks to your majesty. Fortunately, the old minister didn't have time to leave.

, I just heard today that His Majesty actually agreed to King Duan’s move.”

This place is not as good as the inner courtyard, where you can laugh and laugh.

Xining Zhengyan said: "What King Duan said is reasonable. He moved here just to reclaim wasteland. He is willing to pay 30% of the grain he harvests every year as tribute. Promoting agriculture and mulberry trees is the foundation of the country. How can I do anything that benefits the country and the people?"

The reason for not agreeing?"

Weng Yushila said with a long face: "I'm afraid that the wasteland is not fertile and we won't be able to get food by then."

Xining immediately answered: "If you don't have food, you don't have to move there."

Weng Yushi had a sharp eye: "Three thousand Yue Jia can swallow up Wu. Your Majesty, please think twice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the courtiers around him all bowed and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please think again."

A minister came out and said: "King Duan, even if he is diligent and meritorious, he can also reward others. Your Majesty shows great care to him, not only giving him land, but also giving him beautiful concubines. This kind of household relocation is absolutely forbidden."
