Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

Chapter 288 The Changing Court

Shouldn't Xu Gong and Wei Gong come to advise on this matter?

Besides, the treasury is tight, how do I know?

I am a minister of the Ministry of Industry, I am only responsible for repairs, not for solving the problem of lack of money.

I have no money to find the account department.

Question marks filled Xiao Li's mind.

At this time, he regretted a little, in fact, he was a little bit erroneous.

After this period of time, he had already discovered that something was wrong with the emperor, and he was always in a bad mood.

For this reason, he specifically talked to Wei Zheng.

Only then did I realize that it turned out that no one in the DPRK and China responded to the problem recently.

In such a big world, is there really no problem at all?

Obviously, no.

So Chu Suiliang decided to please His Majesty no matter what.

Besides, he was recommended by Wei Zheng, and Yang Zhao didn't object, which meant that he had a good impression of him.

He is also the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and his duty is to build roads, Taoism, and palaces.

After much deliberation, I sent someone to check a lot of information.

I found that the foreign enemies have been resolved now, but the income has not been very good, and the business is still very backward.

So I thought of building water transportation, and in this way, the economic problem was solved.

Even the treasury can be recharged.

Kill two birds with one stone.

So he was ready before going to court today.

Who knew, at this time, His Majesty gave him such a difficult problem.

Chu Suiliang rolled his eyes, bowed and said:

"The minister is ignorant and cannot have a perfect plan."

If you encounter a problem, throw it out, anyway, it has nothing to do with me.

When these words reached Yang Zhao's ears, the meaning was different.

From his point of view, this person was recommended by Wei Zheng.

Recently, we have been discussing the tightness of the national treasury and the problems of powerful and powerful nobles.

At this time, Chu Suiliang put forward another proposal that would cost people and money, and he thought it was to provide himself with a plan.

In the end, don't you know?

That meaning is obvious, Chu Suiliang's purpose is not pure.

Since ancient times, the belt of the Ministry of Industry has ranked third.

Above are the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Rites.

The reason is that money is originally managed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it is certain to make money.

The Ministry of Rites has to hold events when it encounters big and small things, and one can imagine the oil and water in it.

As for the Ministry of Industry, the construction of this piece, hehe, let alone this time, even in the future, it will be the one with the most lucrative resources.

Yang Zhao nodded and looked at Xu Gong without saying a word.

The latter understood, took a step forward, and said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, the construction of water transport involves a lot of things. The best way right now is to raise taxes."

Yang Zhao closed the case of buckling the dragon, with a displeased expression on his face.

"When I came to the throne, I had just been exempted from tax for three years. This is to make me go back on my word, no."

"Not to mention withdrawing the order, when the emperor is in power, the people will suffer unspeakably just after the war, how can I bear it."

"Don't mention the tax increase again."

Mr. Xu sighed, hesitant to speak.

"Mr. Xu said what he had to say, but did he have a good plan?"

Yang Zhao asked cooperatively.

"Return to Your Majesty, I do have another plan, but..."

Xu Maogong looked back at Baiguan specifically, with a look of embarrassment.

The hearts of all the officials shuddered, and there was an ominous premonition.

What on earth do you want, old man?

"Grand Xu said it's okay, since I'm here, there's no need to worry."

Yang Zhao gave him a reassurance pill, which was also a vaccination in advance.

Xu Gong bowed, paused, and said:

"When this war is over, the common people are indeed sad, and the treasury is tight. At this time, only the gentry families have surplus silver taels."

"I also know that your majesty is a wise king, and he will treat everyone equally, and will not rob him by force, but right now, there is only one way."

Xu Maogong sighed, looking in a dilemma.

Yang Zhao didn't answer, and secretly observed the expressions of all the officials in the field.

With a sneer in his heart, apart from the people around him, there were also a few fourth-rank officials who were surprised.

The rest of the ministers all showed embarrassment.

When these people usually live on their salaries and plunder the common people, asking them to take out part of their family property to serve the court, they look like this has nothing to do with them.

I don't know, I thought how wronged I was.

"The gentry are also my subjects. If I really did this, how is it different from that stupid king?"

Yang Zhao shook his head and denied Xu Maogong's plan on the spot.

All the officials in the field breathed a sigh of relief.

In mind.

It seems that in the eyes of the emperor, the noble family is always higher than the poor family.

"Chu Aiqing, what did you have for lunch yesterday?"

Yang Zhao suddenly asked.

Chu Suiliang was a little puzzled, what happened to the emperor?

Didn't you just discuss water transportation and asked me what I did for lunch yesterday?

But he didn't think too much, and replied directly:

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister's mansion recently hired a private cook, who is very skilled. Recently, the food has changed, and I can't remember clearly."

Chu Suiliang was a little embarrassed. After he was promoted, his life was really chic.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry is much better than the minister.

He thought that Yang Zhao had discovered that he was gaining weight, and by the way, he changed the topic so that he didn't discuss the annoying water transportation.

He even thought of inviting the cook to the palace at that time.

Let the emperor taste it too.

If he is appreciated, his official career may go a step further.

He was smiling when he said it.

"Oh? Tell me, what kind of cuisine is it?"

Yang Zhao seemed to be really interested.

At that moment, Chu Suiliang became interested, and praised how exquisite the cook's craftsmanship was.

No matter what the ingredients are, in his hands, they can become unexpected delicious dishes.

"My dear friends, what about you, what kind of cuisine do you usually like?"

Yang Zhao nodded, then turned to look at the other officials and asked.

Although Baiguan didn't understand why Yang Zhao changed as soon as he said it.

But this topic can be regarded as hitting their guns.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and everyone was sharing the delicious food they had eaten in recent days.

However, some careful officials saw that Xu Maogong, Wei Zheng and others looked cold and showed no interest.

They didn't get involved.

Mingrui's intuition told them that there was fraud!

"Ai Qing said some things that even I have never had a normal life, especially Chu Aiqing, if you have time, you can recommend for me."

Chu Suiliang looked excited, saying he didn't dare, but he was happy in his heart.

But he immediately noticed that Su Wei and the others looked resentful, Wei Zheng looked disappointed, and Pei Ju and other officials all looked optimistic.

He realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

boom!

Yang Zhao clapped the dragon case and said angrily:

"You are really blessed! I can't sleep at night because of the people in this world."

"You are in a high position, eating, drinking and having fun all day long, you are really in a good mood!"

"It's really my good group of ministers!"

The speed changed so quickly that all the officials knelt down one after another, regretting their speech mistakes just now.

"Your servant, you deserve death!"
