"So, after His Majesty passed away, I had no choice but to keep the mourning secret. Then, I used the disguise technique I learned from the Western Regions to change my appearance, put on men's clothes, and imitated the late emperor's behavior. Only then did I save my life. Jiangshan Sheji..."
So that’s what happened!
After listening to these words.
Only then did Lin Yiqiu understand.
The reason for all this.
At this time, he quickly patted his chest and promised.
"Your Majesty's ability to tell such a secret to me shows your trust in me. I will definitely keep the secret for your majesty!"
"Very good, Yiqiu, you are interested!"
The empress was quite satisfied and said to Lin Yiqiu.
"I am in need of talents like you to assist me and manage my vast territory for me!"
"In the future, if you are successful, you will work in the West Factory!
"By the way, I am also aware of the conflict between the West Factory and the East Factory. Please don't go too far, both of you!"
"I understand!"
Lin Yiqiu nodded quickly and said in assurance.
Actually.
He knows it too.
The name is East Factory and West Factory.
There are also institutions such as Jinyiwei and Liumen.
It's just that the empress is not worthy of her subordinates.
Worry, I have a department under my command.
It will deceive oneself, so so many institutions have been set up to let them compete with each other.
It's like the present moment.
Between East Factory and West Factory.
These contradictions.
It was carried out with the tacit approval of the empress.
Without his acquiescence.
The people in Dongchang would never dare to be so rampant.
All I saw was Lin Yiqiu holding his hand.
Said to the Empress.
"My minister, I will do my best to assist His Majesty, make suggestions for Your Majesty, and manage our country well!"
"Can you still make suggestions?"
For a moment, Emperor Qian chuckled and looked at Lin Yiqiu. In her opinion, Xichang and Dongchang were nothing more than eyes and ears used to spy on news.
It is the duty of ministers to make suggestions.
Therefore, the empress was a little surprised by Lin Yiqiu's answer.
Lin Yiqiu, on the other hand, looked confident and didn't care at all about the majesty of the yukata empress and the vast scenery under her yukata as he answered to the empress.
"Of course, Your Majesty!"
"It seems that you are very confident!"
Confident people tend to be charming, but of course, arrogance will not.
The empress was obviously attracted to Lin Yiqiu. This was mainly because Lin Yiqiu's appearance was so lovable. In addition, the previous words deepened the empress's affection for Lin Yiqiu. She had a good impression, so she directly used her inner strength to fetch a memorial from the imperial case not far away.
Then, in front of Lin Yiqiu, he opened the memorial and read a line of words on it.
"There has been a drought in Pingxicheng recently. The people have no food to eat. What can you do?"
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yiqiu's expression suddenly changed.
Although Daqian is a martial arts country.
However, the productivity of this country is actually not very high. In essence, it is still an agricultural society, so natural disasters often occur. Under such circumstances, the people are very sad every time they encounter a natural disaster. of.
At this time, after hearing the empress’ question.
Lin Yiqiu knew that he had to find a way to show his ability, otherwise, the empress would not be satisfied.
After a little hesitation.
Lin Yiqiu opened his mouth to answer.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan that can solve the problem of local people having no food..."
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
For a moment, after hearing the news, the empress couldn't help but become interested, and she quickly asked.
Lin Yiqiu quickly explained.
He directly stated his method.
"Your Majesty asked me how to solve this problem. It must be because I don't have enough food to help the victims, right? So I have to think of another solution!"
"You are quite smart. No wonder Hai Dafu recommended you to be the governor of the West Factory."
On the side, the empress smiled sweetly, with a charming smile on her face that was still charming, and said to Lin Yiqiu. Lin Yiqiu quickly lowered his head and answered.
"Your Majesty, this is just a guess!"
"Okay, stop talking so much and tell me what you can do!"
The emperor said impatiently.
Well, she is indeed rather worried about this matter now.
This is quite normal.
For Da Qian, famine was a serious headache for the emperor.
If one is not handled well, problems may arise.
After all, for ordinary people, once they can't eat,
They will only rebel.
Therefore, the empress is currently having a headache about this matter.
Lin Yiqiu, after hearing the emperor's anxious questions, couldn't help but reply.
"Your Majesty, the reason is very simple. We only need a simple method to solve this problem!"
"The imperial court where I work may be out of food, but that doesn't mean that the people I work on are out of food!"
What Lin Yiqiu said makes sense.
Daqian was a huge empire with a vast territory.
Most of the land in this country, except for the desolate land in the Western Region to the west, is all fertile farming areas.
In this situation.
Daqian is actually a quite wealthy country.
Except for places where disaster occurs.
Food, in essence, should not be lacking.
Although the country does not.
However, the amount of food stored by the people must not be a small amount.
However, when Lin Yiqiu expressed his thoughts, the empress shook her head repeatedly, frowned, and sighed leisurely.
"You, I thought I could come up with some good ideas. Next, you might want to ask the imperial court to buy grain and then transport it to provide disaster relief? The imperial court has money to buy grain for disaster relief. How can I ask you for it? A Western factory governor wants to ask for advice?"
"Your Majesty has misunderstood me!"
For a moment, Lin Yiqiu shouted that he was wronged.
Well, Emperor Qian really misunderstood him.
He had no intention of letting Emperor Qian buy grain from the people, so he just listened to his explanation to Emperor Qian with a smile.
"Your Majesty, my method is to ask the large households with grain among the people to lend grain to the court, and the court will write an IOU, and then lend the grain to the victims. If you look at it, the court will borrow from these victims. We can take back the grain in our hands, add some interest, and then return it to those big households who have grain. In this way, wouldn’t the current crisis be solved?”
"this……"
For a while, Lin Yiqiu came up with a solution and said it.
Qiandi's eyes lit up instantly.
I have to say that Lin Yiqiu's method is really good.
If the large private households with food supplies were asked to directly donate food to the victims, they would definitely not be willing to do so.
And if their food is forcibly confiscated, then these large households with food will definitely be dissatisfied.
And, that’s not a bad idea either.
After all, the victims are the subjects of the Daqian court, but these large households with food are also the subjects of the Daqian court. This chapter has been completed!
