Chapter Thirteen: Southwest Floods

Liu Qingran didn't know why he came in with such thoughts in the first place, but now that his words were explained clearly, his heart felt stinging.

She clenched her fists and nodded.

Li Lin just likes such obedient and sensible girls, who also have knowledge, skills, and connections!

Just kidding, she used to be a reserve princess. Which official woman in the capital doesn't know her, and who doesn't fawn over her?

He lifted the hijab of the person in front of him, and a beautiful and refined face suddenly appeared in front of him.

Even wearing a complicated wedding dress and a luxurious headdress, Liu Qingran is still as fresh and refined as a lotus flower after the rain.

She didn't paint her face red, just put on a little makeup, and she looked stunning.

Li Lin smiled: "Isn't this crown very heavy?"

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. I understand this." Liu Qingran smiled slightly.

Li Lin stepped forward, took off her hair crown with his own hands, sat next to her, took her hand, and said softly: "From now on, you and I are husband and wife.

There's a fight outside, you want to help me guard this backyard, okay?"

As he said this, Li Lin handed her all the keys to his home: "I told you to leave it to me."

This pair of keys represents her future status in this family.

Liu Qingran didn't expect that he would actually hand over all the gifts in the house to him with confidence, and stretched out his hand to take the things.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that you are loyal to others." Liu Qingran has never been a talkative person.

Li Lin looked at her, and his eyes changed in temperature. He leaned forward and said with a smile: "Of course, the most important thing is to give me an heir!"

Liu Qingran's face turned red, but she quietly placed her hand on Li Lin's waist and untied his jade belt: "Yes, I will definitely work hard!"

"I will also work hard!" Li Lin suddenly pulled the person into his arms and kissed him fiercely.

A night of ambiguity.

The next day, Li Lin got up refreshed and went to court.

The magpie standing vigil outside the door said with a blushing face: "See you, Your Majesty!"

She stayed here last night, and the sounds inside almost didn't stop all night long. She was extremely shy when she saw Li Lin now.

After seeing Li Lin leave, Magpie hurriedly entered the door and began to help Liu Qingran get dressed. When he saw the bruises on Liu Qingran's body, he became angry and said, "My lord, this is too much."

After hearing this, Liu Qingran couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You little girl, you will know how good the prince is when you get married!"

"What do you mean, princess?"

"You will understand later. Clean it up and let's go see what kind of monsters and monsters are in this mansion."

Liu Qingran changed into bright red clothes and walked outside.

Of course, she didn't go to meet those people. She felt that eating was the most important thing in the world, so she had to eat first.

When he came to the court, Li Lin directly began to promote the relatives of the bachelor's house. Almost all those who had passed the examination were given actual jobs, and none of them were good-looking.

With his attitude, what else does the government and the public not understand?

The old emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, watching his son giving orders in front of him. He felt very uncomfortable and immediately gave the people below him a wink!

Soon someone came up to start playing.

"Your Majesty, the floods in the southwest have caused serious damage, no harvest, and the people are suffering terribly. They are living in dire straits!"

Li Lin glanced at the man kneeling in the middle of the ground.

He recognized him at a glance. He was a minor official from the Hanlin Academy. He usually went to court without saying a word, but he was quite brave today.

After hearing this, the officials also began to become nervous.

The old emperor looked at Li Lin: "What does the regent think?"

"Since the people are in dire straits, they naturally need support. Open the treasury and support the southwest!"

"The regent doesn't know something. The treasury is empty. I'm afraid he won't be able to raise much money at the moment!"

Lin Yang, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out immediately and began to cry about poverty.

In fact, Li Lin had already studied the economic situation of Daxia. He knew that the national treasury was empty and that the officials' backyard was very fertile.

He smiled and said: "In that case, I will lead by example. Yesterday I got married and received a lot of congratulatory gifts. I am willing to put all of them into the national treasury to support floods in the southwest!"

As soon as these words came out, the court suddenly became quiet. With hundreds of people in the court, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone buried their heads in their chests, and no one was willing to take the lead.

Isn't this a naked threat?

This is to bite off a piece of their flesh alive!

Thinking of this, everyone's faces became ugly.

The regent smiled: "The Ministry of Revenue will go back and count the treasury and give me an accurate figure. In addition, let me figure out how much the southwest flood will cost! I will solve the money issue!"

"Yes!" Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief and responded.

The old emperor is in a particularly good mood today.

After leaving the court, Li Lin went to the bedside to serve the decoction as usual.

The old emperor's health is much better than before. Although he can't move much yet, he can already go to court.

Even if he could only sit there, he still had to watch it with his own eyes, which was a shock.

Seeing Li Lin come in, the old emperor smiled at him: "What do you think about the floods in the southwest?"

"In the three years since the Qing Dynasty, the magistrate has had a hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. The officials have a lot of spare money. I am going to requisition it and use it for the people. This is not an injustice." Li Lin said, blowing gently.

Chui Yao: "My father is still very weak now, so there is no need to worry about these things."

Of course the old emperor wouldn't bother with these things.

Because he knows how tight the money bags of these officials are, and it is almost impossible to reach into their money bags!

If he doesn't do it right, he will lose people's hearts. When the time comes, he will have room to show off.

How could Li Lin not know what the old emperor was thinking?

In fact, the news of the floods in the southwest had reached his ears ten days ago, but he did not expect that these people had delayed mentioning it in court.

Today, this is obviously someone's instruction.

As for who this person was, needless to say, it must be the old emperor.

As usual, Li Lin served the decoction before leaving and returned to the palace.

As soon as I entered the study, I saw the soup cup on the table.

He looked at Ling Yuer with some confusion.

"The princess sent this to her, saying it can clear her mind and clear her mind. I'm afraid the prince will be hungry when he comes back from the next court." Ling Yue'er stepped forward and opened the soup cup, and the aroma filled her nostrils.

This aroma successfully reminded Li Lin of the wonderful night last night. He sat there, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It seems that it is better to have a wife."

"Have you delivered the gift list that I asked you to memorize yesterday?" Li Lin started to do business while drinking soup.

Ling Yue'er nodded: "The princess calculated and sent it over in the morning."
