Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 1601 Demon Concubine 17
The concubines who fell out of favor were overjoyed when they heard that many ministers impeached Concubine Zhang Huanggui, and hurriedly sent someone to find out why the former ministers started to impeach Zhang Anran again recently.

After a while, I heard the maids and eunuchs come back and say that it’s always been dry outside recently. Many ministers said that this is God’s warning when the emperor favored the concubine and was furious. You should immediately issue an imperial edict to punish yourself, and then deal with Concubine Zhang Huanggui.

The disgraceful concubines couldn't help being ecstatic when they heard this report, thinking, these ministers are really awesome. This reason is very strong. When the natural disaster cannot be controlled, the emperor will have no choice. Maybe he will take the imperial concubine Zhang for surgery. How can a woman compare to the hearts of the people? In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, they must do this. The emperors in history have done such things a lot.

At that time, if the emperor gave Concubine Zhang Huanggui a white silk, and there will be no Concubine Zhang Huanggui in the palace, the situation will definitely return to the previous state. Thinking about it this way, can they not be overjoyed?
Unlike the concubines in the palace who were ecstatic, this wave of impeachment made the Zhang family panic again and kept a low profile.

You must know that An Ran has been favored for a long time, and some young people in the family still don't listen to the opinions of the elders, thinking that they don't need to live like that. After all, there is a concubine in the family, so why are they so cowardly?

Well now, so many people have impeached the Zhang family, plus they were frightened by the adults and said that they should be careful when doing things outside, so as not to be tricked by others and frame their Zhang family. Tired, they will be relegated to a place of misery again at that time, they are also frightened, so they keep a low profile again.

Therefore, this wave of impeachment is also good for the Zhang family, at least it has a warning effect, making some people who are a bit bloated restrain themselves.

But the elders of the Zhang family were worried.

At the beginning, Emperor Yuanfeng didn't take the impeachment of the ministers seriously, just like he usually dealt with their nonsense, when their impeachment was fart, he just didn't listen to it.

Seeing that there are more and more impeachments, and this matter was mentioned in the court, I was so annoyed that Emperor Yuanfeng's rebellious mentality rose. When he was in court this day, seeing those ministers talking about this matter again, he couldn't help but get angry Furious, he slapped the table in the court and yelled angrily, saying: "You people who eat vegetarian meals with corpses are ashamed to say that the imperial concubine is a demon concubine. God gave me a warning to make the world drought! I think God is giving you a warning. it is true!"

"As early as when the imperial concubine was pregnant, the imperial concubine said that she read history. Since ancient times, there have been natural disasters everywhere every year. After ten or twenty years, there will often be catastrophes. It is better to say that the sea trade has made some money. Build reservoirs and canals. During the dry season, the reservoirs can store water, and the canals can also facilitate irrigation. During the wet season, the canals can facilitate drainage and prevent waterlogging. When the weather is good, we can charge more grain at a higher price, so as to stockpile for war In a calamity year, when the weather is good and the weather is good, people’s food prices will always be suppressed very low. We represent the imperial court and buy at a high price, which is also a good thing for the people. I thought at the time that the imperial concubine was pregnant, and I wanted to pay for her. My child has accumulated virtue, so I did as she said, and I didn't expect it to come in handy now, so I don't have to worry about the severe drought right now."

"As for you, what can you do? You only know about fighting for power and profit all day long, and you can't even solve the emptiness of the national treasury. It's because the imperial concubine said to go overseas to earn some money, so I have some money, build reservoirs and canals, and buy food to prevent natural disasters. You are also planning to give tax exemptions to the hardest-hit places so that the people will not starve to death, but under such a catastrophe, have you done anything practical? No, you only know howling in the court, saying that I should not spoil the emperor Concubine, if you want me to deal with the imperial concubine, it seems that if I deal with the imperial concubine, the drought in the world will stop immediately. If I really deal with the imperial concubine, the drought in the world will not stop immediately. To be buried with you? If you dare to give this guarantee, I will decree to deal with the imperial concubine right now!"

"On the contrary, if the imperial concubine hadn't allowed me to earn some money from overseas, in such a catastrophe, the treasury would not be short of money, and the court would not be able to operate without money. Taxes need to be raised to keep the imperial court running, and pay salaries to those of you who eat vegetarian food, you are not even as good as my imperial concubine, and you have the nerve to call her a demon concubine! Look at yourselves, are you worthy?"

"I have only one request for you now, just don't make trouble for me, and restrain your family well. Who dares to make a fortune at this time and deliberately hoard food, just want to wait for the drought to reach a certain level and sell it at a high price. I will let him Go home and eat old corn."

In fact, Emperor Yuanfeng didn't want others to know that An Ran told him these things, because he wanted to take the credit for himself, but he couldn't hold back a bunch of pig teammates who started arguing, so Emperor Yuanfeng couldn't help but say He came out, and the more he talked, the more angry he felt that there is no one in the whole world who is more capable than the imperial concubine. No, it's not that he is more capable, but that the imperial concubine always thinks of him. These ministers are not incompetent, but Well, they used their abilities in intrigue and fighting for power and profit. They only thought about themselves, and never thought about sharing the worries of the emperor, so they appeared to be more incompetent than the imperial concubine.

Those ministers never thought that Emperor Yuanfeng had already prepared for the severe drought, so they couldn't help being dumbfounded at the moment.

Of course they can continue howling, and the drought will be resolved by killing the imperial concubine.

But... if the imperial concubine is really killed, the drought does not stop, the emperor is crazy, I'm afraid he will let them be buried with him, they don't want high-ranking officials and generous salary, how is it possible to be buried with a woman? Crazy, so no one shouted anything at the moment.

However, some people secretly thought, no wonder Emperor Yuanfeng's arrangement of sea trade was originally the idea of ​​Concubine Zhang Huanggui?Before that, Emperor Yuanfeng became smarter and was able to suppress the situation in the court. The expert they hadn't found could not be... Concubine Zhang Huanggui gave him advice, right?

It's really possible.

Seeing that the domestic situation cannot be broken, people who can figure out a way for maritime trade, kill a way out, earn a lot of money, repair reservoirs and canals, stockpile food for disaster preparation, and exempt taxation, I am afraid that they really have such ability!

If this concubine Zhang Huanggui has such abilities, then...it is a bad thing. After all, they have been targeting her before, I am afraid that she has hated them a long time ago, otherwise she would not open up sea trade in order to break the situation. Now Well, let her develop. If this is aimed at them one day, it won't be good.

But now that Emperor Yuanfeng had tasted the benefits of maritime trade, he couldn't find a reason to oppose it. After all, it was not only something that Emperor Yuanfeng could not agree to, but those fleets would not agree either.
