Volume 1, Chapter 305: The Emperor summoned and asked for money and food.
Ye Tingmu didn't seem too restrained.
One reason may be that I am too ambitious.
I am not afraid of saints, so how can I be afraid of the emperor?
Secondly? He thought Chao Tianque was a good person, even though he sent Feng He away and didn't care about him.
But he thought that Chaotianque must have his own difficulties, just like Dongfang Shuo.
After experiencing Dongfang Shuo's death, he will look at a person more comprehensively.
In other words, more inclusive.
No one is perfect, especially those in high positions. For the sake of the overall situation, there are some things that they have to do even if they don't want to or even if they know they are wrong.
I am the same.
He brought Feng He and came to Chao Tianque.
Then he bowed and saluted again.
Just sat down.
Chao Tianque looked at the two of them with a relieved smile on his face.
“Cough cough…cough cough…”
Ye Tingmu frowned unnaturally as he coughed. When he saw Chao Tianque again, he had lost some of his former majesty.
He looked a little kinder, but his face also looked a little weaker.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
He waved towards Tianque.
"They are all old illnesses, nothing serious."
Feng He's expression couldn't help but become a little gloomy at this moment, and a hint of worry flashed across his eyes.
Ye Tingmu was curious about how Chao Tianque was injured.
He only knew that extraordinary people could master their own healing abilities.
Those who have entered the holy realm are even more so.
How can one have a stubborn disease that cannot be cured?
The injuries that Dahei suffered in the past were caused by a natural calamity, accompanied by the power of the immortal order, so they could not be healed.
Could it be that the Chaotianque in front of him was also injured by that immortal?
Since it was just a casual chat, he asked, "Your Majesty, how did you get this injury? Is there no way to cure it?"
In response to Ye Tingmu's question, Chao Tianque pursed his lips.
Then he said, "Hey... This is a long story. I'll tell you later. So, how are you feeling about your position as the Junior Minister of Nancheng?"
He did not answer Ye Tingmu's question, but instead asked about Ye Tingmu's recent situation.
At this moment, several eunuchs served brewed tea.
Ye Tingmu was not polite and just picked up the glass and took a sip.
As the aroma of tea entered his throat, he smacked his lips, his face full of satisfaction.
Just opened his mouth.
"It's just so-so, it's OK, but the pressure is still a bit high, and some of the troubles are hard to deal with!"
There was a hint of amusement on Chao Tianque's pale face.
"Difficult to do? I think you did a pretty good job. The name of the Blue Sky Book Sword Marquis has even reached my ears."
Ye Tingmu laughed awkwardly and said, "That's just rumors spread by the people, it can't be trusted!"
"Haha, the words of the people are often the truest words. You don't need to be modest. I know everything you have done. You executed the sons of princes, changed the laws... You even built a village and adopted 100,000 children from Zhulu."
"I heard from Ping An that you became the patriarch?"
Ye Tingmu sniffed. This matter was already known to everyone, so it was not surprising that the emperor knew it.
But since he mentioned it, why don't I...
His eyes rolled, and then a hint of sadness appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Ah... Your Majesty, you may not know this, but I'm worried about this very thing. Although Yejia Village has a population of over 100,000, most of them are children with no source of income, yet they still eat a lot every day."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I've pawned all the chamber pots in my house. It's so hard!"
As he said this, he did not forget to kick Feng He.
Then signaled with eyes.
He continued, "Right, Feng He?"
Feng He understood and nodded heavily.
"Yes, everything my eldest brother said is true."
Looking at the two brothers singing in unison, Chao Tianque couldn't help but feel like laughing.
Are you crying poor to yourself?
It's obvious that you want to ask me for money.
How could he not see through the two people's little thoughts?
He coughed lightly and took a sip of tea.
There was no intention of replying at all.
Ye Tingmu saw that the other party was unmoved.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He continued, "If you keep going like this, I will probably have to sell the house you gave to Feng He."
The eunuch standing by heard this and was so frightened that he subconsciously lowered his body a little further.
The prince's residence is a gift from the emperor.
How can I say sell?
This little Tianhou is really bold.
Chao Tianque put down the tea in his hand.
He said angrily, "Don't cry poor in front of me. Do you think I don't know that the Zhenbei Marquisate, the Chu and Xiao families have paid you a lot of money, and the Wan family is probably richer than me. How can you be broke?"
Ye Tingmu was a little embarrassed. This emperor knew too much!
He spoke with a guilty conscience.
road:
"Haha... Your Majesty, you're joking. I'm not... You know these children were originally orphans, and they are also citizens of the Nine Provinces. I do this because I want them to become valuable assets, so that they can serve the Nine Provinces and Your Majesty in the future."
Chao Tianque did not deny this statement, and believed that Ye Tingmu's action was indeed beneficial to the country.
What does it mean to live and work in peace and contentment?
What does it mean for a country to be peaceful and the people to be prosperous?
The elderly have a place to rely on and the young are taken care of.
Three meals a day are warm and there is an umbrella when it rains.
It's that simple.
But even so, no one in this world can do it.
Even the eight divine kingdoms cannot do that.
There is not even one person who possesses any of these qualities.
What Ye Tingmu has done now is to take good care of himself when he is young.
But it is only limited to Zhulu City.
In the nine provinces and nine cities, people are still freezing to death or starving to death all the time.
Countless.
"Earlier, I asked the Ministry of Revenue to allocate grain to you. Didn't you receive it?"
Ye Tingmu was suspicious.
"Is that true?"
"Of course, you can go back and check it out."
Ye Tingmu waved his hand.
"Forget it, there's no need to check. Your Majesty said there is, so there is. Maybe it's too little and I didn't remember." His tone was sarcastic and his intention was very obvious.
Chao Tianque felt extremely speechless at this moment.
This is a naked mockery and also a satire.
What I mean is, you are the emperor, and you only give so little, how can you be so embarrassed?
You are so embarrassed to say it, I am too embarrassed to mention it.
Looking at Ye Tingmu in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head.
He sighed softly, and then spoke.
"Well, you've solved a big problem for Zhulu, so I should support you. So, starting today, I'll order the Ministry of Revenue to allocate 50,000 taels of silver per month to provide food for the children of Yejia Village."
Ye Tingmu was shocked.
Seriously said: "Seriously."
"The emperor's words are as good as gold."
He quickly stood up and bowed to Chaotianque.
"On behalf of the 100,000 orphans of Yejia Village, I thank Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live forever."
He waved his hand.
"Alright, alright, stop relying on me and sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Although fifty thousand silver may not seem like much, it is six hundred thousand a year.
It’s not a small amount either.
After all, it's free.
Now that the house has been built, we can’t actually eat much.
A person only needs 3 taels of silver to eat his fill per month.
That means more than 300,000 taels are needed.
It is already very good that the emperor alone bears one-sixth of the burden.
Looking at Ye Tingmu's smug look.
Feng He was also very happy.
He is happy when his elder brother is happy.
Chao Tianque looked at the two of them with smiles on their faces and felt inexplicably comfortable in his heart.
He turned his gaze to Feng He and asked, "How about you, how have you been lately?"
