I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 124 What a Wonderful Drama!
This He Shijing has no money in the left sentence, and has no money in the right sentence, which puts him in the corner as a prince.

However, no matter the words or etiquette, he did not act excessively at all, but just reported the official document to him in a very calm tone.

'Ping'an County' and 'Weixin County' were hit by drought, and food funds were needed for disaster relief.

But, where is the money...

Even the money for digging river sand was asked from the court in disguise.

Moreover, he had a premonition that if he talked about digging out river sand, he would be able to drown himself with saliva!

But it’s impossible not to say it, because the job recruitment notice was posted yesterday.Especially today we have to make arrangements for digging river sand.

Since the notice was posted yesterday, the entire Jiangling Mansion has become known to everyone.Those who go to sign up to participate will be able to line up from Jiangling City to Yanglin Village.

If you dig the river sand for two months, you can reduce [-]% of the spring tax, and there is no water in the river, so you don’t have to soak in the water for a long time. This kind of good thing can’t be found even with a lantern!
They were happy, but the king of Chu was full of depression at the moment.It's all about money...

"Cough! The government already knows what He Tongpan said. The government will raise money and food as soon as possible, so as to provide porridge for disaster relief."

He Shijing heard that Qi Cultivation Kung Fu was almost broken again, so he didn't laugh out loud. Are you raising money?

You've been lavish all day, spending money like running water, where do you go to raise money?

And the King of Chu looked at the group of officials below who were all silent, and couldn't help feeling a little panicked, all of them were responders, and none of them could be used.

When he was young, he calmed down, looked at the subordinates sitting down, and said again: "Everyone, everyone must have heard that the government wants to take advantage of the river's stagnation to repair the river course and dig out river sand. .

Since ancient times, big rivers have come from west to east, bringing not only river water, but also a large amount of silt, and the long-term deposition of these silt will gradually raise the river bed.

Therefore, the government recruits a large number of civilians every year to repair the river embankment, not to mention the waste of money and money, and it also treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Therefore, if you want to control a big river, you must first dig out the river sand and lower the river bed. "

whispering sound!
He Shijing sat with his hands down, couldn't help a sneer, and said sarcastically, "His Highness wants to conscript and dig river sand? Dare I ask, where does the money come from?

As the notice said, [-]% of the spring tax will be offset?
The next official dares to ask His Highness, when will the imperial court issue an order to reduce the spring tax on Jingbei Road by [-]%? "

The King of Chu was not angry when he saw that he was really fighting against him, and he looked at him leisurely: "Good question! Let me ask you, is there a severe drought on Jingbei Road?"

"Yes! It has been more than four months since the heavy snowfall in the twelfth lunar month of last year, but no rain has fallen, causing the river to stop flowing and the lake to dry up."

These are all facts, and he cannot open his eyes and speak nonsense.

But he didn't expect that this was a big pit, and he dug it himself.

"Okay! Let me ask you again. According to the practice of our Great Zhou Dynasty, the reduction of field production due to drought, floods and other disasters is confirmed by the imperial court. Taxes should be reduced by [-]% to [-]% according to the law. Is this true?"

He Shijing couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, there was such an unwritten custom.However, although there is a severe drought on Jinghu North Road, the appeasement envoy has spared no effort to cure the disaster!

And, it's quite effective.There is only a small part of Jinghu North Road that is severely drought-stricken, but other than that, almost all other areas are safe and sound!

Even he can't deny that.

Wait, something seems wrong?
And the King of Chu seemed to have seen what he was thinking, so he suppressed a smile and continued to say: "He Tongpan, you are going to the court twice in three days, saying that there is a severe drought on the Jingbei Road, and that you are extravagant and wasteful. I don't know how to save money. Don't you forget?"

Naked kidnapping!

His implication is that not only me, the appeasement envoy, said that there was a severe drought on the Jingbei Road, but you, He Tongpan, have also said it more than once.

That being the case, the two of us are like grasshoppers on the same rope, we should work hard together and let him know about the severe drought on Jinghu North Road!

Otherwise, once the matter is revealed and the court pursues him, he will not be able to run away from me or you.

As for He Shijing, it was only then that he realized that his unequivocal answer just now was actually digging a hole for himself.

A mouthful of old blood was almost spurted out.

Shuzi!

How dare you insult the old man like this!

"none…"

Shameless!
After all, he didn't dare to scold, the other party was His Royal Highness King Chu.

And the others were also a little dumbfounded at this time.Unknowingly, the scene turned upside down.This He Tongpan, just now he beat His Highness the King of Chu to the corner, but now he was dug and buried by the King of Chu...

What a wonderful show!
At this time, a voice suddenly echoed: "Your Majesty agrees with the prince's opinion! Recalling the past, the peasants went into the water to dig out river sand, and because their bodies were soaked in water for a long time, their bodies rotted and maggots formed.

But the prince is kind-hearted and sympathetic to the people. He wants to take advantage of the drought to dig river sand. This is the great fortune of the people!

The next official is willing to share the worries of His Royal Highness by attaching the tail of the horse! "

Such blatant flattery...

Everyone turned their heads to look, and it turned out to be a middle-aged man with gray hair, who seemed to be the 'Jiangling Mansion Embankment Secretary' recently promoted by the prince, who seemed to be called 'Ye Huaiwu'?

As expected of the prince himself, he was so loyal.

And Ye Huaiwu's voice seemed to be the leader, and the others followed suit.

"My lord's move is truly a bodhisattva's heart! Your Majesty, I am also willing to share the worries for Your Highness!"

"Yes! The officer obeys the orders of the prince!"

They are not stupid, they have already posted notices, which proves that the digging of river sand is a foregone conclusion.Therefore, no one wants to confront the King of Chu at this time.

Seeing that all the officials followed suit, the King of Chu nodded suddenly and said, "Since that's the case, all of you will agree on a regulation, and it will be implemented tomorrow morning!"

"Your Majesty, follow the orders of the lord!"

In fact, Zhao Yuzheng had nothing to do with the meeting until here, but he still sat quietly and did not get up to leave the meeting.

Full of etiquette and respect for the King of Chu.

After the King of Chu arranged everything, he cupped his hands again and said, "Thank you Zhao for a long time! I will come up with the regulations as soon as possible to deal with those bandits and rogues!"

"Oh! Your Highness is so polite, I am ashamed to be an old man!" Zhao Yuzheng didn't dare to take the lead, and hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "Your Highness has complicated things, and I work hard for the well-being of the people. I don't have any intention of urging you, and everything will be arranged by Your Highness." !"

This old official was not at all like He Tongpan, who relied on the old to sell the old, and kept his attitude very low.And between the words, all praises can make people feel like spring breeze.

And this regular meeting has come to an end here.Zhao Yuzheng took the opportunity to leave on the pretext of not disturbing the prince's arrangement for digging river sand.

Next, a group of subordinate officials formulated the specific regulations and assigned the specific matters in charge of each, and the work will officially start tomorrow.

　Thanks to the afterglow of heaven, I love 36D,
