Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

Speaking of this, Li Ningxiu frowned and said in a low voice:
"There are no interesting things, but a lot of annoying things."

"Oh? Who made you angry, tell me, and I will definitely forgive him!"

Yang Zhao was immediately displeased, it's fine if he encounters troubles, and there are still people who trouble the queen?
Li Ningxiu sighed:

"Who dares to provoke me in this palace now, it's because of the rules."

Then, Li Ningxiu said:

"A few days ago, the Ministry of Households came to distribute monthly money and silk, and I wanted to go to Jiaojiao's to discuss what clothes to make."

"But Jiaojiao's satin is a bit worse than mine. At first I thought it was because of my status."

"Later Ziyan also came. They are both imperial concubines, and the fabrics are so different. I went to the household department to ask."

"I learned that the national treasury was tight. I didn't care, but among the concubines, Bingbing and Jiaojiao are the worst, while Ziyan and Rongrong are better."

"I went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask for an explanation, and in the end they had no choice but to tell me that the reason was that Ziyan and Rongrong came from famous families, so they would be better off."

"I insist on changing it, but the Ministry of Household Affairs said that this is a long-standing rule, so don't make it difficult for me."

"Your Majesty, is this kind of rule really good?"

Li Ningxiu knew Yang Zhao's temperament, she said this because she wanted Yang Zhao to stand by her side.

"Hmph! I think they have eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!"

"Tomorrow, you go to the household department and pass on my oral order that Shan Bingbing and Zhai Jiaojiao will enjoy the treatment of imperial concubine, and they will be treated equally."

Yang Zhao snorted coldly. He really didn't expect that even the harem would be affected by this kind of culture.

The concubines in the harem will distribute salaries and silk, rouge, jewelry, etc. every year.

Although they don't need to spend money in the imperial city, they can't get out.

But the servants still need some help.

Or send it home.

It seems that the household department will also be replaced.

Yang Zhao's eyes were cold, and Li Ningxiu changed his clothes for him.

After solving this matter, Li Ningxiu's mood improved a lot.

She didn't want to disturb Yang Zhao. As the emperor, she was busy with affairs, but she just couldn't say it.

It's all right now, Yang Zhao personally agreed, she can't wait to spread this good news right away.

late at night.

In Yong'an Palace, murmurs could be heard from time to time...

vertical day.

Daxing Hall.

The civil and military officials were exceptionally quiet. From observing Yang Zhao's expression, they knew that the emperor was not in a good mood today.

Wait until the routine debriefing is complete.

Yang Zhao spoke.

"Where is the Minister of the Household?"

Hubu Shangshu Xiao Li trembled and stepped forward tremblingly:
"The minister is here."

"The harem paid out the salary the day before yesterday, why is my noble concubine treated differently?"

Facing Yang Zhao's questioning, Xiao Li broke out in a cold sweat.

At the same time, I was very shocked, how could this incident alarm His Majesty?
Generally speaking, the emperor would not care about matters in the harem, especially such trivial matters.

Furthermore, those concubines were too embarrassed to speak up when they encountered such a thing.

If you fail to anger the emperor, you will be punished.

But when Xiao Li thought of what he said to the queen before, he was not afraid at once:

"Returning to Your Majesty, the ministers distributed according to regulations, and the amount is recorded in the ledger."

He answered cunningly, regulations, not laws.

Those with bad family backgrounds will be detained by the Ministry of Household Affairs. This is an unwritten rule.

After all, there is no backstage, and some relationships are needed in the harem, and some concubines even send money.

There has never been a complaint of this kind.

"Regulations? Heh, the household department is such a big dog!"

Yang Zhaosheng fell into Hong Lei, he was really angry.

This Xiao Li not only has a bad attitude, but also behaves well.

Wanting to take advantage of him, how audacious!
Xiao Li was so frightened that he knelt down fiercely: "The emperor spares my life, I deserve to die, and I deserve death for my crimes!"

He didn't know why the emperor would be so angry about such a trivial matter.

"Well said, since that's the case, I will not kill you for the sake of your hard work."

"Remove Xiao Li's position as Minister of the Household Department, and serve as Xie Lu Lang."

As soon as this remark came out, the civil and military officials of Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

The third-rank officials are directly downgraded to the eighth rank!

"Sir, thank you Lord Long En."

Xiao Li shook his body, lowered his head, and thanked him.

The emperor Jinkouyu said that it is a blessing in misfortune that he can get his life back.

If you dare to refute, I am afraid that your life will be lost.

"My dear friends, do you have any objections?"

Yang Zhao glanced around with cold eyes.

All the civil and military officials lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. The emperor was furious, and no one wanted to be the first bird.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

Seeing that no one was talking, Zhang Heng raised his voice and had just finished speaking when he saw Chu Suiliang come out to bow.

Yang Zhao narrowed his eyes.

"Report to Your Majesty, the world is stable now, and the people have no worries about food and clothing. I think that water transportation can be carried out to facilitate trade."

Chu Suiliang said this for no reason.

Yang Zhao was taken aback, glanced at Chu Suiliang, and then said:
"My love, what's your opinion?"

Su Wei went out and clapped his hands and replied:

"Your Majesty, just after the conquest, the people and the imperial court need to recuperate. This is a good policy, but we need to discuss it later."

Some time ago, the national treasury was tight, and now we need to do some water transportation. Isn't this adding salt to the wound?
"Well, Su Aiqing is right."

After Yang Zhao said something, he continued to look at everyone in the hall.

Wei Zheng stood up at this time, glanced at Chu Suiliang, and said:
"Your Majesty, I believe that what Chu Shangshu said is very true. On the occasion of this grand event, building water transportation can benefit the people and the court. This is the best policy."

Pei Ju and the others were a little confused.

What happened to Wei Zheng?

Still agree at this time?

Doesn't he know about the treasury's problems?

Before he could figure it out, Xu Maogong also came out and said:
"Return to Your Majesty, the minister seconded."

Pei Ju was shocked, if only Wei Zheng said that, it would be fine, why Xu Maogong also said that.

Colluded?
Yang Zhao glanced at the two of them, then suddenly smiled:
"What Mr. Xu said even, Minister of the Household Department, how is the treasury now?"

Although Xiao Li was dismissed, it was not an immediate matter. There were still many things to be exchanged, and the process would take a few more days.

Hearing the emperor's culture, Xiao Li came back to his senses and said dumbly:
"Return to Your Majesty, the treasury is tight now, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

Yang Zhao stared at Xiao Li and asked.

"I'm afraid, it's difficult to support the matter of water transportation and Taoism!"

"Chu Aiqing, what should I do?"

Yang Zhao stared at Chu Suiliang, he was testing.

This person was recommended by Wei Zheng, in his mind, he should not be a corrupt official.

But in history, this person was not like this, just because in this world, some things are different.

He needs confirmation.

If there was a perfect solution, it would be someone on his side.

If you can't give it, then this matter has nothing to do with Wei Zheng.

Chu Suiliang was stunned, he was a little dazed.

He is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, so he will naturally bring up the matter of cultivating Taoism, but he is only responsible for bringing it up, and he didn't say to solve it?
