How many?

These two words not only echoed in the hearts of the ministers, but also blurted out directly by many of them.

Emperor Xingyuan also looked surprised: "How much does Aiqing say you want to donate?"

All the ministers pouted.

Just now she was "Duan Shaoqing", now she is "Aiqing".

Under countless scorching gazes, Duan Shaoqing said loudly: "Four hundred thousand taels of silver."

There was no way to keep it anyway, so I donated everything immediately.

There was a buzz of discussion, and Duan Shaoqing heard several curse words in his ears.

He understands. If it were someone else who took the initiative to donate so much, he would also want to scold him.

But there’s nothing we can do about it!

Duan Shaoqing sighed in his heart as he glanced at the calm-looking girl with his peripheral vision.

Emperor Xingyuan showed a moved expression: "I am so relieved that Duan Aiqing has served the country and the people so well!"

"It is the duty of a minister to share your worries with you. Moreover, this is the family property left by my niece. It can be used to help the victims. It is a blessing for her and my family." Duan Shaoqing said beautiful words, but he was speechless in his heart.

The ministers offered to donate a huge sum of money, but the emperor actually did not refuse at all.

Of course Emperor Xingyuan would not refuse.

Ayou said that Kou Qingqing lost his life at his grandfather's house because of his huge wealth. I think that poor girl is well-informed and would rather use her family's wealth to do good deeds instead of leaving it to the Duan family.

However, Duan Wensong is so sensible and stood up when he was having a headache for disaster relief in Bian Town. He can give him a little better face in the future.

"With this kind money, the people in Bian Town who were affected by the snow disaster can be properly resettled." Emperor Xingyuan looked pleased and thought for a while, "Although Duan Aiqing donated the family wealth on behalf of his niece not for fame and fortune, I can't live without it. Say. Let’s do this. Kou Qingqing, the niece of Taipu Temple Shaoqing Duan Wensong, will be granted the title of Princess of Qingning, and she will be buried as a princess."

Duan Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

There was an unexpected surprise.

The deceased niece was posthumously granted the title of princess, and the Shaoqing Mansion seemed to have received no benefits, but this was not the case.

There is no one left in the Kou family. People in the capital know about Miss Kou because of the Shaoqing Mansion. If the niece receives this favor from the emperor, the world will at least show some respect to the Shaoqing Mansion.

A false name is a name, and it is better than taking out 400,000 taels and not even getting a splash.

"Do you have any objections?" Emperor Xingyuan slowly glanced at the ministers.

Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Who dares to have any objections? What should I do if I say anything in front of the emperor and the emperor forces me to donate money?

Xin You echoed and raised the corners of his lips.

She went to Duan Shaoqing yesterday and suggested that he donate Kou Qingqing's family fortune this morning. Firstly, in order to solve the problems at hand as soon as possible so that he could concentrate on implementing the New Deal, and secondly, to let more people know Kou Qingqing and make Kou Qingqing a better person. Posthumous name.

The small tomb that was not even dared to erect a monument at the beginning will be replaced by the princess's tomb, and a monument will be erected to remember that thousands of years later, people will still know that a girl named Kou Qingqing once came to this world.

Duan Shaoqing returned to the queue and glanced at Xin You quietly.

Could it be that the emperor's pursuit of Feng Qingqing was also part of this girl's plot?

Xin You turned her head and smiled at him.

Duan Shaoqing hurriedly looked away.

Please stay away from this girl from now on!

The disaster relief work in Bian Town came to an end. Emperor Xingyuan cleared his throat and spoke: "Yesterday I was troubled by the empty treasury. Xin Daizhao proposed a solution to the root cause."

The ministers immediately concentrated and held their breath, waiting for the next step.

Emperor Xingyuan looked at Xin You: "Xin Daizhao, please tell me."

There is no doubt that the New Deal will offend the rich and powerful, and he originally did not want to push Ayou to the front so directly. But thinking about it again, this is what Ayou wants to do. She has not hidden it from the beginning, so why should he look forward and backward? Heads were falling to the ground in the West City. If some people wanted to hurt Ayou, they should think carefully about it.

Under the attention of everyone, Xin You stood up generously: "I mentioned yesterday that in order to replenish the national treasury and reduce the burden on the people, there is a feasible strategy, which is to spread the land into acres and cancel the head tax..."

He Qingxiao, who was standing in the team, looked attentively at the girl who was chatting.

Every word she said fell heavily on the hearts of the ministers. Some were annoyed, while others were thinking. When he finished speaking, there was silence in the hall.

Emperor Xingyuan spoke: "Yesterday I summoned all the ministers to discuss this matter at the Qianqing Palace. The top priority is to measure the acres of land and select several fertile lands in the north and south to try out the new policy."

When the ministers heard this, they looked at the six ministers and nine ministers.

Don’t any of these adults have any backbone?

The minister who was summoned yesterday was unable to express his sorrow.

Can the Emperor speak clearly? It seems that they are eager to implement the New Deal!

"The implementation of the New Deal is a major matter for the country and cannot be ignored. I wonder which beloved minister is willing to take on this important task?" Emperor Xingyuan asked warmly.

He naturally has a preference in his heart.

Implementing the New Deal is not only a major event, but also a difficult one. There will definitely be many difficulties and even bloody conflicts.

The best people to go are noble military generals. These people have been on the battlefield and seen blood. If they really encounter someone who is stubborn, they will kill them. Furthermore, most of the distinguished generals were from similar backgrounds to him and did not have deep interests involved in the place where the New Deal was to be tried.

A supervisory censor with a clean and upright style is also indispensable.

As Emperor Xingyuan asked questions, the hall suddenly became quiet.

The vast majority of officials are unwilling to do so. If it hadn't been for the warning of beheading, I would have jumped up and opposed it a long time ago. Who would have rushed to implement it?

The very few who were not opposed to the New Deal were worried about the consequences of offending many colleagues and wealthy gentry.

To be remembered by these people and never know when it will be included in a book is not to live in fear.

He Qingxiao stood up and said loudly: "I am willing to give it a try."

When Emperor Xingyuan saw He Qingxiao standing up, a smile appeared on his lips: "I am very relieved that Marquis Changle is willing to share my worries."

He Qingxiao was a noble person and was in charge of Beizhen Fusi. In Emperor Xingyuan's opinion, He Qingxiao was a suitable candidate.

"I am also willing to contribute to the New Deal." The second person to stand up was He Yushi.

Emperor Xingyuan nodded with satisfaction: "Yes."

The trial area is divided into north and south, which requires at least two chief officers. Emperor Xingyuan looked at the others.

Yong'an Bo stood up and said, "I am also willing to go."

Yong Anbo's initiative to apply for the imperial examination surprised all the ministers.

Yong'an Bo was Xie Zhangyuan's brother-in-law, and he was an outstanding young general among the group of military generals who followed Emperor Xingyuan to conquer the world. Now he is in his early forties. The former young general has become a member of the noble family. It is in the prime of life.

Xin You couldn't help but glance at Xie Zhangyuan.

Xie Zhangyuan lowered his head slightly, making it hard to see his expression.

"Okay, okay. Marquis Changle is in charge of the cities in the south, and Uncle Yong'an is in charge of the cities in the north. We will set off in three days."

Three days later?

The emperor is really anxious.

Next, Emperor Xingyuan appointed some adjutants and announced the dispersal of the dynasty.

The ministers walked out in silence, clearly distancing themselves from He Qingxiao, Yong Anbo and others.

However, Xin You walked over directly and invited: "Master He and uncle, if you are free in the office today, I will invite you two to tea."
