Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 38 Emperor Xuan’s Fist Tightened Again

Zi Shuyan covered his face and laughed. Today's morning court was more lively than ever before, but also very interesting.

Didn’t you see that all the officials had shining eyes and were standing on tiptoe to watch the excitement in front of them?

Emperor Xuan could hardly hold back the smile on his face anymore, and he waved his hand and the imperial guards stepped forward to pull out the two men who were fighting.

When passing by Xu Jinyu, Xu Jinyu was still waving enthusiastically to the official who beat people.

The official with completely white hair had his arm supported, but he did not forget to greet Xu Jinyu.

"I am You Jinbao, your humble servant. I admire you very much. I will visit you when I have time."

“Okay, okay.”

I also sighed in my heart: [This name is so nice, it makes me feel rich. ]

The people who were fighting were dragged out and the morning court continued.

Xu Jinyu was bored again, his eyes went blank and he began to daydream.

Seeing that Xu Jinyu didn't move anymore, the head of the Ministry of Revenue and the Censor on his left and right breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's morning court session has been very exciting already, so Xu Jinyu just needs to stop digging up gossip about His Majesty.

There's nothing wrong with exposing court officials, everyone likes to watch it.

But before the two of them could catch their breath, Xu Jinyu's inner voice began again.

[Speaking of which, Tong An'an has been in the harem for two days, why is there still no news? The emperor is not reluctant to give up the title of a princess, right? ]

Xiao Chen, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, and Zuo Yuanying, the Censor-in-Chief, felt a chill in their chest.

Lord Xu, please give me a way out and stop digging into His Majesty's affairs.

[The emperor must be stingy. The princess needs a princess's mansion, as well as gold and silver. Moreover, a princess suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the emperor also had to appease the concubines in the harem.]

Emperor Xuan clenched his fists. Xu Jinyu really deserved a beating.

Isn't she just a princess? He doesn't need to appease the concubines in the harem, he just needs to choose a good day.

[Let me see how His Majesty's true love reacts. ]

Emperor Xuan's face changed. He didn't want people to know how he coaxed his concubines, so he winked at the ministers frantically.

"Your Majesty, I have a report to make."

At this time, an official from the Imperial Observatory stood up fearlessly, and everyone looked at him with gratitude.

"Your Majesty, I observed the celestial phenomena at night and calculated that there will be heavy snow this winter."

Being interrupted like this, Xu Jinyu stopped talking.

When it comes to business, Emperor Xuan's face turned serious, "Where can there be heavy snow?"

"There is a chance of snowfall in many places in the north, and there is also a chance of snowfall in the south, and the amount of snow is not small, which may cause snow disasters."

After saying this, the official from the Imperial Observatory retreated, during which time Xu Jinyu did not say a word.

Very good! The official from the Imperial Observatory breathed a sigh of relief that Xu Jinyu did not dig into his privacy.

Emperor Xuan’s expression should not be too ugly.

Last year there were floods in the south, this year there was drought in the north, and in winter there was another snowstorm.

We will have to vigorously promote sweet potatoes and potatoes next year, and the gold we copied from Bai Wenyu will not be enough.

"Minister of Revenue."

The Minister of Finance stood up and said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, there have been disasters for years. There is no money or food in the treasury. I can't do anything."

"I know there is no grain or silver in the treasury. I want you to find a solution for me?"

“How about another tax?”

The Minister of Revenue asked cautiously.

"I asked you to come up with a solution for disaster relief, and you only came up with this solution!"

"If you impose taxes again, do you want those people to die?"

Do you want those poor people to rebel in advance?

Emperor Xuan suddenly stopped before saying this and did not utter the word.

Emperor Xuan's anger spread from his chest little by little.

Everyone in the court is a good-for-nothing. When asked to come up with a way to relieve the disaster, they came up with the idea of ​​levying taxes.

Emperor Xuan's hands were itching to throw down whatever was at hand to hit these good-for-nothings.

But he needs to hold back, and he still needs these people.

If the snowstorm is serious, information and food will be cut off, and it will not be as simple as the death of one or two people, but the death of entire villages and towns, and even a large number of people.

Emperor Xuan not only had to prepare warm clothes, but also had to prepare enough food.

Moreover, there is heavy snow in the north, and there will inevitably be a snowstorm at Beilang Pass. By then, those wolf riders will come to Daqian to plunder again.

Nothing must happen in the north.

Emperor Xuan took a deep breath and said to the court officials: "Everyone, please share your ideas. If they are useful, you will be rewarded handsomely."

"Your Majesty, you can inform the North of the news and let them prepare for the winter on their own."

Emperor Xuan could no longer bear it, so he picked up a memorial and threw it at the person who was speaking.

“Is your brain a decoration?”

"Tell those who don't even know where their food for next month is, if there is a snowstorm, you should prepare winter clothes and food by yourself."

“Don’t they want to prepare? They don’t!”

Emperor Xuan's furious voice echoed in the court, and the court officials below were so scared that they shrank their necks to reduce their presence.

[How did this person become an official? Is there water in his brain? In ancient times, unlike modern times, there were sufficient supplies. As long as the notice was in place, everyone would prepare things. ]

Xu Jinyu's voice rang out, and Emperor Xuan glanced at Xu Jinyu calmly, hoping that she could have some ideas.

[In ancient times, the only consequence of notifying the common people of such natural disasters was that they would flee the area with their families and become refugees, which would lead to even more trouble.]

[The refugees need food and clothes, right? If you don't have them, then go and rob them. If you're not careful, you can easily turn them into a mob.]

[If the imperial court cannot resolve these issues, the rebellion will only get bigger and bigger. If things go wrong, Daqian will be finished.]

Daqian is over!

Emperor Xuan listened to Xu Jinyu's thoughts with a headache. Just as Xu Jinyu said, this would be the consequence if the snow disaster was not handled properly.

None of the officials think as thoroughly as a little girl.

The official who had just spoken covered the big bump on his head and hid in the crowd of court officials.

[Speaking of which, is there any way to survive the snowstorm? Let me think about it. ]

Xu Jinyu began to think. Standing on the shoulders of giants, Xu Jinyu was so confident.

The Minister of Revenue turned his head and looked behind him, hoping that Xu Jinyu could come up with a solution, otherwise there would only be one last solution.

[Oh, right, the heated bed! ]

Xu Jinyu suddenly remembered that she seemed to have never seen a kang in Daqian.

Emperor Xuan was startled and wondered what this kang was.

"His Majesty!"

Xu Jinyu raised her hand high.
