Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 347

The prince quickly collected his thoughts, and said to the queen: "Mother, the five disaster relief strategies that my minister told you last time..."

As he spoke, he took a peek at Nan Surou, only to feel that the other party looked like he had nothing to do with him.

The queen asked the prince to sit down, and said softly: "I am talking about this with Su Rou, Su Rou, what do you think?"

The room was lit with quiet sandalwood, and Nan Surou's eyes fluttered, looking beautiful and yearning, with a compelling aura, giving people a feeling of wanting to take the initiative to cherish love, she bowed her head respectfully: "Empress, Su Rou is Women don't understand politics."

Hearing these words, the prince immediately understood Nan Surou's attitude, thinking that the queen had spied on her just now, but she didn't want to help.

The prince was a little annoyed, and said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Isn't it too presumptuous for Princess Ruiherou to say so?"

Nan Surou just smiled: "His Royal Highness, Su Rou was born in the countryside, and she doesn't have extensive knowledge. Su Rou just has self-knowledge."

In a word, the prince was a little depressed because of the congestion. The little girl in front of her was used to pretending. She maintained a standard dress, neither luxurious nor shabby. She looked childish. However, every time the prince saw her, the The cat's eyes full of slyness will flash across the sky.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, the queen interrupted immediately: "Didn't your advisers have an idea to resolve this natural disaster?"

There was a little interest in Nan Surou's eyes.

The queen said again: "This natural disaster is unavoidable. Over the years, when encountering such a situation, we have opened warehouses to release grain, and set up porridge shops at the gates of the major yamen to solve the urgent needs of the victims."

Opening warehouses to release grain, this sentence is tantamount to farting. This kind of countermeasure has made those ministers say it is bad, and it is useless.

The prince's eyes flashed, and he looked at Nan Surou calmly, but he couldn't see any clues, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

The queen expressed her own opinion, "I think that His Majesty should be invited to hold a sacrifice to heaven, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty should go to pray together, and then appeal to all civil and military officials and dignitaries to donate."

"Donation?" The crown prince smiled and said, "The queen mother's idea is not bad. Those ministers are all living on the imperial rations and have to do practical things. After enjoying their salaries for so many years, they should contribute some."

Nan Surou secretly smiled, with that little salary, it is barely enough to support a family of five. People who become officials always hope to have a full house of children and grandchildren, so naturally they have to take concubines and have children. There are more than five members in this family, plus all kinds of servants , carriage, car, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and the annual maintenance and repair expenses of the house, there is absolutely no salary left, and most of the surplus is corrupt officials.

A little money is a drop in the bucket for a corrupt official, the Queen's plan is to drive all the honest officials to death...

This abacus is too loud, but unrealistic, Nan Surou couldn't help laughing cunningly.

Seeing Nan Surou's smile, the prince sneered and said, "Look at Surou's expression, don't you have a better idea than what the queen mother said?"

Seeing that the prince was biting her like a mad dog, Nan Surou smiled and said: "If you go back to His Royal Highness, the empress's idea is of course good, and it can solve the urgent need."

The queen sighed and said: "We are enjoying rich clothes and good food, but those common people suffer from their wives and children. This Palace really cannot sleep or eat well."

Nan Surou had a calm expression on her face, would a queen like this who doesn't know the suffering in the world have trouble sleeping and eating because she couldn't bear the suffering of the common people?The banquet that the former empress hosted for her was extravagant and wasteful. The bird’s nest and shark’s fin were all high-quality, and a table of banquets cost hundreds of taels of silver. install?Pretending to be a good person?
Nan Surou had a lot of dealings with the queen in her previous life, so she naturally knew that this old hag was used to trying to gain fame to maintain her virtuousness, she sneered in her heart, but she didn't show the slightest bit.

"Actually, over the years, with the full support of Kanehu and various merchants, the treasury is full, and the father is not short of money. What he lacks now is a disaster relief plan." The prince shook his head and said.

Nan Surou's eyelashes flickered slightly, but she didn't speak.

Such a calm appearance made the prince angry for no reason, and he said angrily: "A person gave me a hint, but he only said half of it."

The queen turned her eyes and peeked at Nan Surou, she saw Nan Surou lowered her eyes, seemed to be listening respectfully, but she didn't know what she was thinking, the queen followed the prince's words and said: "My lord, what that person said How about half of the plan?"

The prince hurriedly said: "He said that in order to provide disaster relief, just opening warehouses to release food may not necessarily make the food reach the people in need. Therefore, we must act in order. First, we must send more patience to those who need relief. The disaster victims are registered, and then the roster is used for relief. In this way, His Majesty's favor can be implemented on each disaster victim, avoiding looting or uneven distribution. Second, set up soup kitchens in major yamen to relieve the victims. But it is the same in previous years What they did was not done with all their heart. That is because there is no benefit. If the court gives praise and promotion to the dedicated officials according to the actual situation, they will not be negligent. Thirdly, tax relief for the disaster-stricken areas. Let the victims be grateful for His Majesty’s Ende. By doing this, people can complain—there should have been six points, but that person only said half of them."

After the prince finished speaking in one breath, he raised his eyes to look at Nan Surou. He didn't see any expressions of shock, jealousy, or admiration on Nan Surou's face, but saw a flash of banter on Nan Surou's face.

joking?

Is there a problem with this strategy?
The prince couldn't help being suspicious, he knew Nan Surou's ability, there must be a reason for Nan Surou's expression like that, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the strategies that Xing Xingxiu said. It makes sense, he doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe there is a problem here, no matter what, he has to persuade Nan Surou to accept Xing Xingxiu today, so that Xing Xingxiu will hand over the remaining part of the strategy, so that he can be He made meritorious service in front of his father.

At this time, the queen smiled and said: "These strategies are really good ideas. If the crown prince dedicates these strategies to His Majesty, I am afraid that all civil and military officials in the whole dynasty will admire them."

However, even after the queen praised the prince so much, Nan Surou still had that plain look, and she didn't brag about the prince with the queen, which made the queen feel very strange.

Nan Surou wanted to laugh, but she was holding back her laughter, and it was very hard to hold back. However, when she secretly raised her eyes, she found that the two people around her were staring at her blankly. Finally, she couldn't help it, and the corners of her lips twitched In the end, she pinched herself fiercely with the hand in her sleeve, and finally held back her laughter.

However, even though Nan Surou held back her smile, the prince was still sensitive to it, and he couldn't help frowning: "Princess Ruiherou, what's so funny? There's something wrong with this plan?"
