Chapter 44: The stingy civil and military officials
System: […………Ah, this……the CPU is about to burn out! Host, how about you give it a try? ]
Xie Chuyue: [But I’m really sleepy now. ]
Civil and Military Officials: They don’t know what this coffee is, but the drug can make people unconscious. Since you are sleepy, why do you take the drug?
The civil and military officials did not understand and thought that someone had fallen asleep.
Emperor Mingde couldn't stand it any longer. He didn't want to pay any attention to this annoying thing. He tried to ignore the crazy voice of someone and looked at the civil and military officials and asked, "My dear ministers, do you have anything to report?"
Grand Secretary Liu Wei stepped out of the group, clasped his fists and bowed, then said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Emperor Mingde looked at the Grand Secretary and nodded, signaling him to continue.
Grand Secretary Liu Wei considered his words carefully before speaking, "Your Majesty, I received news yesterday that a small village in the western suburbs was burned down. It is said that the surviving villagers have fled the village and are wandering in the neighboring villages."
As soon as Liu Wei finished saying this, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked. What was burned down was a village, and they only got the news now.
Moreover, how could the village burn down for no apparent reason? Someone must have done it on purpose. We must investigate thoroughly!
Emperor Mingde frowned, "Oh, what's the situation now? How did the local officials deal with it?"
"Your Majesty, because this matter happened too suddenly, I did not have time to send anyone there, so I don't know the specific situation. Please ask Your Majesty to send someone to investigate and then decide how to rescue." Grand Secretary Liu Wei replied respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." At this time, Grand Tutor Xu Changning stepped out and said.
Although Emperor Mingde was puzzled, he still nodded and said, "Master Xu, please feel free to speak."
Grand Tutor Xu Changning held up the court board in his hand and spoke earnestly, "Your Majesty, I think those villagers have left the village and moved to other villages, so let them settle in other villages. After all, the original village is no longer habitable, and this will save the court time and effort."
The emperor had a calm expression, neither accepting nor rejecting it. After looking around, he slowly spoke, "In this case, do you have any better ideas?"
The civil and military officials are stingy and unwilling to spend a penny. They will definitely be satisfied when they hear that they can save time and effort and do not have to rebuild houses for the villagers.
So they all spoke up, "I second this motion!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
………………
Xie Chuyue: [Hey, second the motion! What a bunch of stingy people. ]
Xie Chuyue felt that this person must have some serious problem, actually wanting to let a stranger integrate into a stranger's home, so she started to retort, "Bullshit! If it were your house, would you be happy if a few random people came to occupy your home? At that time, you would definitely blame the court for not building houses for them. Would you be happy to force a few people to live in your home? Why didn't I realize that you are so shameless before."
"You are such people, and you still have the nerve to be the parents of the government. Are you worthy? The common people are your parents who provide you with food and clothing."
Xie Chuyue became more and more excited as she cursed, saying that they ate what the common people grew with great effort, wore what the common people made with great effort, and yet they didn't care about the lives of the common people.
Grand Tutor Xu Changning gritted his teeth in anger. Couldn't he live without rebuking this little troublemaker?
Although he thought so in his heart, he still softened his tone and said politely, "Little Princess, you are wrong. If more people join their village, the village will gradually expand. It will only benefit them and not harm them. Besides, there will be more people to help at home, so why not do it?"
Hearing this, Xie Chuyue almost put her hands on her hips. She stood facing the master, spitting all over the place. "Why not? Why not? Why not? Do you want to have a few more strangers in your family? Do you want strangers to tell you what to do?"
Grand Secretary Liu Wei also tried to dissuade them. This little ancestor was too difficult to deal with. If they didn't convince her, she would definitely keep blocking them and wouldn't listen to their opinions. So he said, "Little Princess, this is the best solution. It not only saves effort, time, but also money."
Xie Chuyue pointed the baton at several people and cursed them, while the people standing behind him were trembling, afraid that she would get excited and knock them unconscious with the baton in her hand.
"Bullshit, to put it bluntly, you just don't want to pay, and you don't want to put in the effort."
The Grand Tutor still wanted to continue to persuade her, "Little Princess, you are young and you don't understand."
Xie Chuyue was so angry that she even forgot to call herself "princess" and directly called herself "aunt". Someone had completely forgotten that she was in the court at this time, "Aunt, I know very well. You took the salary from the court, but now you are like a stingy person, not spending a penny. This princess has never seen people as shameless as you."
Everyone: ……………Who is this shameless person?
It's over, they can't scold anymore.
Xie Chuyue: [** (System) I am so angry, these old guys are so stingy, as the saying goes, when one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid, but they are playing the game of when one side is in trouble, all sides will avoid it.]
System: [It is already very good that the host and his friends did not add to the trouble when they were in trouble. And you have made suggestions. What if they are unwilling to help with the construction of the house? ]
Xie Chuyue: [Hehehe, don't worry, auntie, I have plenty of ways. You're not willing to give me anything, right? Then I'll cut off the source of the trouble. ]
When the civil and military officials heard Xie Chuyue's laughter, they were all horrified. Why did they feel like they were being watched?
Everyone also knew that what Xie Chuyue meant by "not giving a penny" was the silver, so they decided to hide the silver after returning home.
Emperor Mingde listened to their discussion leisurely without helping, just waiting for the result. Anyway, he would not easily reveal this troublesome thing, because once it was revealed, the other party would be unable to fight back.
See, this is the winner.
Emperor Mingde looked at Xie Chuyue, whose face was red with anger, cleared his throat and said, "Is everyone okay with the suggestion made by the little princess?"
Although the emperor knew the result, he still asked the question symbolically. The civil and military officials looked aggrieved and stared in the direction of Xie Chuyue.
The emperor tried hard to hold back his laughter when he saw this, and then asked, "What do you think Yue'er should do about this?"
Xie Chuyue: [Father is so stupid, I have already explained it so clearly, but you still ask me? ]
System: […………] He no longer wanted to say anything. His host's IQ was full when online, and minus 100 when offline. When he was smart, he was extremely smart, and when he was stupid, he was so stupid that it made you doubt your life.
Emperor: ... ... Everything has to go through a formality. What do you mean he is stupid?
Civil and Military Officials: ...Humph, the only one who dares to say that His Majesty the Emperor is stupid is you, a fearless fellow.
Xie Chuyue complained, but still explained obediently, "Your Majesty, I propose that the burned villages be rebuilt. The court will pay for it, and let the people rebuild their homes there.
Their fields and other things are all there. If they abandon their homes and run away to other places, they will end up living under someone else's roof.
I beg you to send someone to build a house for them, so that they can escape this disaster, and then send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly."
After listening to his daughter's opinion, the emperor did not forget to ask the court officials, "Do you have any other better suggestions?"
The civil and military officials were angry, but helpless, they could only glare at Xie Chuyue, and Xie Chuyue glared back at them one by one, as if she would rush over immediately if they dared to stand up.
