Quick Transmigration: A money-loving man meets a boy who gives away money!
Chapter 304: Greedy and Corrupt Prime Minister vs. Tyrannical Emperor (15)
"Next year..." Li Xuan Ge murmured softly, with a hint of self-mockery. Since she ascended the throne, floods and droughts have come alternately. The south, which was originally rich in water, has now had no rain, and the terrain in the north is not adapted to the huge rainfall and has instead caused internal consumption.
It seemed as if God was really unfair and couldn't stand seeing a woman like her ascend to the throne.
Civil uprisings even went under the banner of obeying the will of heaven and punishing tyrants.
But she asked herself that the people she killed were not innocent, and the policies she issued did not enslave the people, but...
Perhaps, it was because the killing was not cruel enough and those people were not scared enough.
Could it be that officials in remote areas are treating her as a joke and exploiting the people there for their own good?
When Li Xuange thought of this, his eyes moved secretly. After calming down for a while, he wondered whether he should go around and sacrifice the sword.
Yu Ci was keenly aware of the man's anger. She leaned back, silently hid the jade hairpin in her sleeve, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Li Xuange suppressed the bloody aura from his eyes, raised his eyes and said: "I was wondering if what Xiao Yuxiang said about next year will really be good weather and good harvests."
Yu Ci said "Oh", this person seems to care a lot about people's livelihood, he should not be considered a member of the treacherous party, but he is a bit like His Majesty.
She said, “Yes.”
"How dare Prime Minister Yu say something that even the Imperial Observatory could not have predicted?" As an emperor, although he does not like to listen to slander, everyone around him flatters him. Anyone who dares to say bad things to him will probably lose his head.
Even though he knew that Xiao Yu Xiang probably only had a heart that loved her country and her people, Li Xuan Ge couldn't help but feel relieved for a moment when he heard her firm tone.
In ancient times, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was mainly responsible for compiling the annual calendar and observing the stars. It has been associated with civilization since this land entered the agricultural civilization.
Yu Ci curled her lips. The Imperial Observatory could not compare with modern technology, and this land was just a corner of the world.
"The unpredictable weather in the past three years is because we have entered consecutive La Nina years, and this year is an El Nino year. Usually, after the alternation of the two years, the weather will return to normal, so next year will be good." She explained the reason for the unpredictable weather, but the other party obviously didn't understand, so Yu Ci didn't want to say more. (ps: Weather knowledge is found on the Internet and made up by myself, don't believe it.)
Li Xuan Ge was indeed confused. She had never heard of strange names like La Niña and El Niño. They did not sound like the language of the Central Plains.
But at this moment she didn't want to know what it was, she just wanted to know, will things get better next year? !
"really?"
Yu Ci nodded, "If it's true, how about you bet with me, ten thousand taels."
"If I lose, I will pay compensation. If I win, I will deliver the money to Ghost Cliff on this day next year."
The Ghost Cliff is a place that only the top masters can reach. It is dangerous and steep, and there are no resources. Ordinary people cannot go there in their lifetime, and extraordinary people are too lazy to go there.
Where do you put the money, when do you need it, and when do you withdraw it.
Looking at the sweet cakes of the rich, she couldn't help but want to make some money. By this time next year, it would be autumn and the harvest would be clear. She felt like she was worth a lot of money!
Li Xuange was speechless. Everything this person said could be related to money. Why was she so obsessed with money? If he really let her work under him in the future, would she empty the national treasury?
Ten thousand taels can repair a county with a population of more than 1,500 people. It is impossible...
"If I lose, I will hide the silver in the Ghost Cliff. If Xiao Yu loses, I will hide the silver in the Imperial Palace."
Yu Ci opened her eyes, one or two!
You are such a rich woman, just bet with me!
She gritted her teeth and thought that one tael of silver could make hundreds of steamed buns, so she decided to gamble.
"Deal!" She held out her hand.
Li Xuange looked at her hands in confusion, and Yu Ci pulled her arms, which were wrapped around her chest, and crossed her left and right palms.
"A gentleman's agreement is a promise that cannot be reversed!"
Looking at his palm which was three points rougher than Xiao Yuxiang's, Li Xuange silently withdrew his hand, put it behind his back and gently rubbed his fingertips.
It was obvious from the look on Yu Ci that he had never practiced any martial arts. Where did his ever-increasing skills come from?
Could it be that she is really the Holy Maiden of the Yin-Yang Cult?
Yu Ci couldn't help but grin as she watched the hand being retracted from the other side. Even if she pretended to be unsophisticated, she was still a lady from a noble family at heart. Really, she was shy just by touching hands.
She turned around and continued to write the draft. After writing and revising it, she put the paper in her hand beside her and said, "If you want to read it, just read it openly!"
Why doesn't this person leave?
It's really annoying to have people looking over your shoulder.
Li Xuange did not hesitate and actually picked it up and took a few glances. The process details were very good, as well as the part she mentioned last time. If it was presented in the court, she would be 90% satisfied.
The remaining 10% is deducted for the purpose of stinginess.
Although the Phoenix Dynasty has been relatively poor in the past two years, it is not so poor that the Lantern Festival still has to be held in the outer palace flower building for court dances and music, and there is an attendance fee...
During this period, the hospitality was combined with the local culture, which not only carried forward the thousand-year cultural heritage of the Phoenix Dynasty, but also promoted the spirit of the monarch and the people enjoying the same happiness...
"How is it?" Yu Ci looked at the other party nodding frequently and asked with some pride.
Li Xuange closed the booklet and asked, "Isn't that too petty..."
"What do you mean by stingy?! That's called thriftiness, do you understand?" Yu Ci snatched it away, "The Qing people always come here to show off and make money, and they also want to give them good food and drink, isn't that cheap?"
"If you ask me, it is Your Majesty's mercy that you didn't let them come and peel off a layer of skin."
"It seems that His Majesty is not as cruel as the outside world says."
Li Xuange: ...
Since ancient times, when two armies are at war, they do not kill envoys. Besides, the country needs to recuperate. Although she is annoyed, she cannot really break off relations with him immediately.
"That...is not a big problem."
In fact, there is still a problem, that is, the safety of Shengjing. The city guards listed by Yu Ci are not sophisticated enough, but she will secretly make arrangements to make up for this shortcoming, so it is not a problem.
Hearing that she finally said something nice, Yu Ci smiled and nodded, "I told you, I was born to be an official."
Li Xuange held her forehead with her hand. If he was really the prime minister, she would not be the emperor today. The act of showing the memorials to others just now was enough for her to judge.
However, she is a good material for making money. She should not be the prime minister or manage the national treasury. The Ministry of Revenue is more suitable for her.
But if she were really allowed to work in the Ministry of Revenue, the national treasury would probably become her private treasury.
No, we still have to keep a close eye on it.
"I'm gone. You don't have to leave me dinner tonight."
Yu Ci reached out to pull her back, asking when he had left food for her? !
That was clearly the midnight snack she left for last night!
Do you understand midnight snack?!
Unfortunately, he was a step slower than the other party and grabbed a handful of air!
