I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 53
Liu Long looked at the bowl of black soup in front of him at this moment, his white and tender face was in so much pain.

"This is expensive."

Liu Long seemed to be making the last effort, his wrinkled face pushed the decoction in front of him back to Cao Teng's hand.

Then he wanted to say something to Cao Teng.

However, Cao Teng, who had always been reluctant to speak much and refused to fight, spoke with a smile at this time.

"Your Majesty's kind heart is truly a blessing to the country.

But Your Majesty, although this decoction is expensive now, it is not worth mentioning compared to Your Majesty's Dragon Body Sheng'an.

What the Empress Dowager said just now is very true, Your Majesty's body is the most precious thing of my man.

As long as it is good for His Majesty's health, no matter how expensive it is, it's nothing more than that!

Besides, this decoction is ready now, if His Majesty doesn't drink it, wouldn't it be a waste of such an expensive medicine?
So please drink it, Your Majesty! "

After Cao Teng finished speaking, he brought the soup in his hand to Liu Long's mouth again with a smile on his face.

And watched it with his own eyes, fed it with his own hands and delivered the soup to Liu Long's mouth
Looking at Liu Long's bitter little face at that moment, Deng Sui beside him couldn't help showing a smile.

As for the sentence just now, others don't know what this little guy is thinking, how can Deng Sui not know?

Deng Sui knew very well what was expensive or not, how old was Liu Long, how could he know this?

In the end, it was just that this little guy had a quick brain, and then found a reasonable reason for himself not wanting to drink medicine.

But having said that, this reason is very good, Deng Sui doesn't mind if the child speaks the truth or some excuse.

He is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, if he is taught like a folk child.

This big man is really finished!
However, although he is very satisfied with Liu Long's character and his actions just now, he can see the deflated expression of this little guy.

Deng Sui, the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty, couldn't help showing a smile now.

It's great!simply not too much fun
Looking at Liu Long's bitter look, although Deng Sui, the queen mother, was happy, she couldn't keep her eyes on the child.

She has more important things to do.

Although Deng Sui said that the expenses of all the people in the palace should be reduced by at least half, but this is not for them to just follow suit.

Deng Sui set an example by himself, first reducing the cost by half, and then reducing the part that should have belonged to the emperor to himself.

In other words, Deng Sui's cost has been directly reduced by nearly [-]%.

As the man with the most power in the big man, he is even more confident in the palace.

Even the Empress Dowager has reduced the cost by [-]%, who else would dare to cut it by half?
Even if it is reduced by [-]% like Deng Sui, I am afraid it will be directly recorded in the small bamboo slips of Cai Lun and Zheng Zhong.

I don't know when it will be, so I'll just clean him up
So after getting the news, the palace really cried out, everyone shouting that they don't know what to do in the future.

In Liu Long's words, after all, not all the nobles in this palace.

In addition to his mother and concubine, he is the emperor in this palace, and the prince Qinghe, the brother of the accompanying capital, is beside him.

Besides, there are no real nobles in this palace.

"A group of servants have to do white jobs now. Thinking about it these days makes me feel sad for them!"

Liu Long expressed helplessness and sighs to these palace people, but these palace people also know that they are living in the palace now.

His life is not in his own hands, let alone the treatment and salary?

Therefore, although one by one screamed constantly, they scrambled to express themselves, and they all wanted to reduce the cost of the palace as much as possible at this time.

Save yourself more money.
Even the most ruthless one directly reduced his part of the expenses to only [-]%!
Looking at their days, Liu Long even felt that if they didn't know it themselves, they would starve to death if they didn't eat.

I'm afraid these guys even saved their meals.
"Tsk tsk tsk is an eye-opener!"

In just over two months, Liu Long's body grew a little taller again, and he couldn't help feeling emotional when he saw the "chaos" in the palace.

He really didn't expect a person to be so frugal.

Liu Long saw with his own eyes that a person's inner lining had been broken into dozens of holes, large and small, but he didn't intend to replace it at all.

He just put on a robe and continued to wear it.

Liu Long also heard that the servants in this house used a big basin to take a bath, just because the charcoal fire in the palace also required expenses to boil water.

Even the lowest grade of charcoal!
Therefore, people in the whole room used a bucket of hot water to scrub each other. It is said that the water in the bucket was as black as ink, and even gave off a stench.
When Liu Long heard about this, those court ladies said it with a nose and eyes, and Liu Long felt a chill when he heard it.

I don't know where these people got the news from, they really are his good eyes and ears
Not only that, these are just some small tricks, so what about tightening your belt so that you can eat less.

Make the pasta or millet harder and taste better.
What's more, wild vegetables are directly mixed with wild vegetables or even tree roots in the imperial dining room when cooking for the people below.

That feeling. They cut themselves up just to avoid eating wild vegetable bark.

It turned out that after cutting it, this thing should be eaten every day.
It really surprised them!
In addition, there are countless things that are even more appalling than this.

Hearing that, Liu Long was also an eye-opener during this time.

But under this kind of behavior that is almost self-abuse, the palace really saved the world a lot of expenses to fill the national treasury.

After all, the expenses in this palace were allocated in advance and sent to Shaofu.

Now under Deng Sui's operation, the Shaofu was frightened, and the money and food sent back made the Da Sinong and others dumbfounded on the spot.

Fortunately, it is because of this large amount of money and food that the affected people in these 37 counties have finally been fully treated.

This turbulent court situation has finally become more stable
But the world seems to really look down on the big man turning the corner again.

Just when Deng Sui began to make drastic plans for the world, and even changed the year name again for the sake of safety.

In the following year, which is the first year of Yongchu, a wave of natural disasters came again
