The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 11 New National Policy

"Master, it's late at night, shall this servant serve you to bed?" Zhuge Yan said softly.

Liu Bian glanced sideways at Zhuge Yan, nodded, and said, "I won't go anywhere tonight, just rest in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"Yes."

Zhuge Yan accompanied Liu Bian straight to Dongnuan Pavilion, and when he was about to serve Liu Bian to bed, he heard Liu Bian ask in a deep voice, "How many people are there in the Prime Minister's family?"

Zhuge Yan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "It looks like there are more than a hundred people."

"Hehe, it seems that the family has a lot of money." Liu Bianyi pointed out.

Zhuge Yan immediately understood what Liu Bian meant, so he deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "The prime minister's mansion is full of traffic every day, and there is an endless stream of people giving gifts. Master should pay more attention."

"Let Dongchang secretly investigate the specific situation of the prime minister."

"Yes." Zhuge Yan replied softly.

Liu Bian is really more and more satisfied with Zhuge Yan, because Zhuge Yan has already proved his loyalty to Liu Bian in the previous Sims.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Liu Bian went to the Xuanzheng Hall for the morning court as usual.

In the early court, Liu Bian announced several important personnel appointments in public.

Shen Ce was moved to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites. The former minister of the Ministry of Rites was ordered by Liu Bian to return to his hometown for the elderly, and the vacated post of internal affairs counselor was taken by Changsun Wuji, and then he promoted Gao Shilian as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

The prime minister took the lead in expressing his willingness to support Liu Bian's decision, and all the ministers also expressed their support for Liu Bian's decision. It's already a very old age, and it's time to return to the hometown for honor and support.

Liu Bian rewarded the outgoing Minister of Rites with a large sum of money to return to his hometown for the elderly.

Liu Bian checked the training situation of the army again. When he saw that the current training value of the army was only 35 points, he almost beat up the central general in front of the officials.

Liu Bian resisted the urge to beat Wei Lei, the general of the Central Committee, and announced the order to withdraw from the court with a expressionless face.

Zhuge Yan saw that Liu Bian's face was very ugly, so he suggested with a smile: "Master, it's sunny today, how about going out to the palace to relax?"

Hearing this, Liu Bian regained his energy immediately, nodded repeatedly and said, "It's exactly what I want."

Liu Bian deliberately changed into casual clothes, and immediately took Zhuge Yan and a few personal guards out of the palace, and wandered around the market.

A group of people wandered aimlessly on the street all afternoon, and when they were finally tired from walking, they went to Yipinlou to have a rest and eat something along the way under Zhuge Yan's guidance.

Zhuge Yan asked Xiao Er for a table of delicate dishes. When Liu Bian was about to move his chopsticks, he saw a mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe quietly approaching him.

Seeing this, several guards drew their knives and stood in front of Liu Bian. The commander of the guards looked warily at the mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat, and said, "Who are you? What is your purpose here?"

Seeing this, the black-robed man quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Gentlemen, I have a new treasure here. I wonder if you are interested in taking a look?"

Zhuge Yan approached Liu Bian, who was full of doubts, and said softly, "This person is a well-known black market merchant. He sells good and bad things. Whether you can buy real treasures depends mainly on your luck."

Liu Bian nodded clearly, and said, "I see."

"It's a rare trip, so there's no reason to return empty-handed. Let him take out the treasure and let us open our eyes." Liu Bian said.

"Yes."

Zhuge Yan came to the black market merchant in response, glanced at the colorful brocade box he held in his arms, and was about to ask the price, when the black market merchant immediately snatched a sentence, saying: "400 taels, he It's yours, and I've worked so hard to get it."

"Give it to him." Liu Bian said lightly.

400 taels is really not worth mentioning to Liu Bian, who has a big family and a big business, so he should spend money for fun.

Hearing this, Zhuge Yan immediately took out a few gold ingots from his bosom, and paid the money with the black market merchant and delivered the goods with one hand. After the transaction was completed, the black market merchant bowed his hands to Zhuge Yan and said: "Farewell" and fled immediately. ran away.

Looking at the back of the black market merchant going away, Liu Bian shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It seems that he was cheated."

Zhuge Yan smiled awkwardly, and immediately opened the brocade box silently, only to find that there was only one piece of ordinary jade pendant in the brocade box.

"There's nothing surprising about it."

Liu Bian played with the jade pendant in his hand for a while, and then threw it at the beggar who was begging outside Yipin Building.

After Liu Bian and the others had had their fill of wine and food, Zhuge Yan said, "Master, it's getting late, and it's time for us to return to the palace."

"Go back."

Liu Bian got up reluctantly, and walked towards the palace first.

After returning to the palace, Liu Bian stayed overnight in the palace of nobleman Lu Yi.

The next day, in the early court, Liu Bian heard the news he didn't want to hear again.

Hubu Shangshu came out of the class with a sad face and said: "Qi Zou Shengshang, there has been a storm that has not happened in ten years in Shandong, and the local state government has sent the urgent memorial to the imperial court. I respectfully invite the Holy Majesty to read it."

"What the hell is going on? How did it become like this? Could it be that the sky is going to kill me in Daxia?"

Liu Bian snatched the memorial handed over by Zhuge Yan, looked at the series of casualties on the memorial, and the most eye-catching passage in it: The disaster in Shandong requires 29 taels of disaster relief funds.

After reading it, Liu Bian threw the memorabilia on the imperial case in front of him, and said weakly: "I am sure that the Si Yamen will immediately send people to Shandong to assist the local state government in disaster relief. The Ministry of Households should allocate funds as soon as possible."

When Prime Minister Xue Conggui heard the words, he immediately took the lead to bow to Liu Bian and said: "The virtue of the Holy One is like the sky, and it is really a blessing for all people."

Liu Bian looked at Xue Conggui with contempt in his eyes, and said in his heart: "At this time, he still has the heart to flatter me. Such a mediocre person can become the prime minister, because his ancestors have accumulated eight lifetimes of virtue." .”

Liu Bian's words were really correct. Almost none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty rose to positions based on their ability. They were able to sit in their current positions because of the merits of their ancestors.

After dealing with the disaster relief, Liu Bian found that Lei Li, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was still standing there, and had no intention of returning to court, so he frowned and asked, "Aiqing, what else can I say?"

Lei Li bowed and said with a smile, "Sir, the tax revenue for this quarter is 12 taels, and the current national silver inventory is 136 million taels."

"Ha ha."

Liu Bian smiled helplessly and said, "Understood."

Lei Li made a fool of himself, and immediately retreated to his shift.

"I have been enthroned for half a year."

Liu Bian was thinking about something, suddenly slapped his forehead, and said, "I almost missed a big deal."

"It's time for the imperial examinations again. In addition, new national policies can also be formulated."

Liu Bian immediately ordered Shen Ce to start presiding over the imperial examination, and immediately opened the national policy option, and silently checked it.

Keep the inside and the outside: within 3 years, the probability of getting a famous official will increase by 3%, all students in the imperial examination will have an extra +5 in the literature test, official salary x3, the troops sent abroad and the magistrate will not rebel, the attack power of the troops -2, and the blood volume -2 , initial training degree -20.

"Just him."

Liu Bian immediately made a new national policy, and then ordered the central general Wei Lei to strengthen the training of the army and the security inspection work within the capital.

Looking at the only 35 training points of the national army, Liu Bian reluctantly announced his retirement.
