The lord's stunning concubine

Chapter 509 518 Husband and wife's little fun (8)

Jing Ye was a little speechless, but Qin Zhuimeng put on an air that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

Jing Ye laughed and said, "You miser! Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. I don't want to fight a war, but I'm just worried about how to survive this year's severe drought and how to make the people suffer less!"

"Don't worry about this matter, my lord, I will calculate these expenses first." Qin Zhuimeng said with a serious face: "It's just that everything has just begun, so you don't have to worry too much."

Jing Ye glanced at him and said, "I will leave these matters to you so that I can rest assured."

Qin Zhuimeng sighed softly: "My lord is so relieved of me, I feel a lot of pressure, but because of this, I also feel a little worried. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are together, natural disasters are easy to save, but man-made disasters are hard to prevent."

Jing Ye's eyes darkened slightly, and Qin Zhuimeng said again: "The famine in my childhood was not considered extremely serious. The court sent people to relieve the disaster and pulled out a lot of silver. However, those corrupt officials sit and fatten them up, and there are very few left in the hands of the people. Ming and Ming courts have exempted taxes, but those corrupt officials still collect taxes in other names, making the people miserable. Raising money and making a lot of money for the country is really no different from scumbags. When I dreamed of being an official, I just wanted to do some practical things for the people, so that the tragedy of my childhood would not happen again."

Jing Ye also knew what Qin Zhuimeng said, and it happened when Emperor Daxing was alive. At that time, although Emperor Daxing beheaded the corrupt official, the disaster had already happened. routine.

That year, Emperor Daxing took him to inspect people's conditions, so that incident touched him deeply. He still remembered the helpless look in Emperor Daxing's eyes at that time, and also remembered what Emperor Daxing asked him: "Ye'er, if you What about being an emperor?"

Jing Ye was only over ten years old at the time, so he immediately replied: "If I become emperor, I will kill all corrupt officials in the world."

Emperor Daxing looked at him at that time and said: "The emperor occupies a high position. If he does not have great wisdom and a bright heart, he will not be able to see through the tricks of those treacherous officials. Greed is human nature, and it is impossible to kill it. What you can do is how to make the world return to one's heart, how to see the sharp edge in a lot of memorials."

These words have been silent for more than ten years, but he still remembers them very clearly in his heart.

He knew that Emperor Daxing had been nurturing him wholeheartedly because the late emperor was weak, and originally intended for him to succeed to the throne, but due to various reasons, he finally gave up the throne to the late emperor.

He glanced at Qin Zhuimeng and said, "Order, this king will bring the emperor to sacrifice to heaven."

Qin Zhuimeng said with some disdain: "Although it is said that the Son of Heaven is ordered by Heaven, the Heaven is still the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is still the Son of Heaven. If the prince has time to sacrifice to Heaven, it is better to dig into the ditches, which is more practical."

Jing Ye glanced at him coolly and said: "The king naturally knows these things in his heart. The matter of digging into the canal has already been arranged, so don't be reluctant to part with the money."

Qin Zhuimeng smiled and said, "If the money is used to dig into the canal, I will naturally be very generous."

But Jing Ye said again: "Sacrificing to heaven must be done, no matter what, this king has to appease the hearts of the people, appease the hearts of the court ministers, and let the empress dowager rest assured."
