Zhuge Liang entered the room, fanning himself with a small fan and wearing thick clothes. His words revealed the secret so clearly that Yu Qian didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, he decided to hand over the negotiation to Zhuge Liang.
After all, he is famous.
"Your Majesty, I find it difficult to move the grain from the national treasury."
Zhao Xin frowned and looked at Zhuge Liang with a serious expression, wondering what Zhuge Liang was thinking.
"Cui Zhihao of the Southern Family holds the position of Grand Minister of Agriculture. I'm afraid he's had a look at his financial accounts. I'm afraid he's colluding with the Cui Family to report mixed results, but in reality, he's pocketing the money."
The Cui family is powerful enough nowadays. As long as he makes any sneaky moves, these old guys will probably notice it and will have him under their control both inside and outside.
"We still need to be cautious about some of the Cui family's power. If there's no one to take over, even if someone takes over, it will still allow others to take advantage of the situation."
"Then consider it as a favor to the Nan family, and let me see how loyal he is to me."
As for the Cui family, let’s see how they perform their duties.
If he really can't be promoted... he can only think of a way later. Now Zhao Xin is really taking one step at a time for fear of falling into a trap.
Since Zhao Xin traveled through time, things have been getting more and more complicated. It must be said that having a counselor by your side is important, and they can also teach you how to be treacherous.
Just like the deal that made the Nan family pay for disaster relief, everyone present spoke very carefully about it as if the other party had taken advantage of it.
"By the way, send someone to check the money. The treasury cannot be empty. Let those mainstream families take out some food and see."
The national treasury is huge, how can it be filled so easily? I guess the emperor intends to give those people a good beating this time.
At least the Cui family must be made to give up some grain. And as for that treacherous minister in the court, aren't you happy to side with the Cui family and regard him as the head of all officials? Then make him give up some grain as well.
The grain was decentralized, and the situation seemed to be inexplicably stable.
Zhao Xin was sore from reviewing memorials all day that he felt weak all over. Yu Guangzhong noticed his queen standing by the door, leaning against the frame, clutching a food box.
"It's getting late, Your Majesty, would you like to try my soup?"
Zhao took a sip out of courtesy and gave a thumbs up.
"It tastes delicious, worthy of being made by the Queen."
Zhuge Liang said goodbye and pulled out Yu Qian, who was observing Zhuge Liang inside.
"The Empress is from Yancheng, right?"
…
The two of them were in love with each other. Every time this happened, he would kiss the woman. After all, it felt so damn good to pick up a beautiful girl. Even if he had to abandon the government and ignore state affairs -
What was Zhao Xin thinking about for no reason?
*
The funding and food from Yancheng were all sent down, but he knew that this year was not a good year at all, so there was no way so much money could be allocated.
Furthermore, once the turmoil broke out, it was only thanks to the ruthlessness of the God of Death that the crime rate in Qin was kept to a minimum. Otherwise, who knows what the situation would be like now. That battle was a risky move by Bai Qi.
The treasury was empty, and the only remaining funds were in the granaries of the great families. Those with nothing would likely have to rely on the state. Zhao Xin suddenly felt the difference between a loyal and a treacherous minister.
[Increase luck value by 100]
The system suddenly exploded beside his ears, leaving Zhao Xin stunned.
Su Qingyu pulled his sleeves and frowned, looking as seductive as a fairy. As for the inexplicable luck value... he just muttered a lottery to himself and then picked up the queen and went to the bed in the side room for him to rest.
A night of love and rain, a sleepless night.
He kissed Su Qingyu's hand early in the morning, causing her to blush, and he almost couldn't help himself.
The court was still as quiet as a chicken. The Cui family, who had always been rash, now shrank like a quail, as if they had shut up. The atmosphere was different from before, which made Zhao Xin doubt.
"What… is going on?"
Zhao Xin didn't believe that he had cultivated his majesty after being on the throne for so long. He probably didn't know what kind of collective experience had made them all act like eunuchs who had lost their treasures.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Such a collective sentence rang out again.
"Now that disasters are rampant, those farmers still can't pay their grain."
Nonsense, if there was food, would he think of those big families right away?
etc--
Could it be that they were discouraged after checking the food? He was planning to use this trick a few more times.
"Your Majesty, I have elderly and children at home. Thank you for your wisdom—"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your wisdom—"
Didn't he just want to collect some grain to fill the national treasury? Could it be that this old villain Zhuge provided some other instructions?
Looking at the way these people were complaining, he probably had no idea what they had heard, but he was used to it because Zhuge Liang always managed to surprise him.
"As for praising my wisdom, there is no need for that. If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please leave the court."
Everyone is quiet.
Zhao Xin stood with his hands behind his back, sighing, "This is the kingdom I conquered." Then he walked away from the palace.
Oh yes, he still had a hundred luck points from the prize draw last night.
A card with no clear intention, only vaguely known to be a dynasty figure. The system did not respond, seemingly thinking that selling blind boxes this way was more exciting.
Just because the ambition card last time was not a permanent value card, he is now very cautious when opening a card, for fear that he might step on a landmine and send warmth to the opposing protagonist.
Forget it, he is short of people now, very short of people, and he can swallow anything given to him without changing his expression.
The card fell to the ground with a white flash, and the whole room was silent. The white light lasted for a long time before dissipating.
