Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 349 Encouraging
However, just when the prince refused to continue listening, Nan Surou smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness, this statement is wrong. Although these strategies have quite large loopholes, as long as you fill in the loopholes properly, it is still a good strategy. If you modify these strategies and submit them to His Majesty, the credit is still yours, but the plots of those ghosts and monsters behind you failed to succeed, and instead took advantage of you. Eating Coptis chinensis is hard to tell."

Speaking of this, Nan Surou looked up at the queen, and then at the prince, and found that the queen looked thoughtful, while the prince sat back on the chair.

But after a while, Nan Surou remained silent, as if she had forgotten what she said to explain earlier.

The queen couldn't help but reminded: "Then what are the loopholes in the remaining strategies, aren't you going to tell?"

Nan Surou lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "All the strategies involve a lot, just like the first strategy, Surou has already said too much, if the empress and His Royal Highness forgive my sins, I dare to say that there is nothing left. Similarly, if His Royal Highness intends to use these strategies to speak out, he must have a lot of courage."

The implication is that this matter is very risky.

is not that right?To say in front of His Majesty that his imperial officials are corrupt and corrupt is a direct slap in the face of His Majesty!

"What?" The prince frowned.

But the queen didn't take it seriously, and said: "Success is found in small things, wealth and wealth are found in dangers, how can a promising person not be able to take any risks, I forgive you for your innocence."

The queen is satisfied with Nan Surou in her heart. Ruihe is the only daughter under her knees, and the rest of the children are all concubine princes and princesses. Among so many children, she has never found such a young and deep-minded girl like Nan Surou. child.

The prince took the queen's words seriously, he raised his eyes and said to Nan Suju: "I don't blame you, just tell me."

"Yes." Nan Surou smiled humbly, and said: "The second point is to set up porridge places. His Royal Highness just said that porridge places should be set up in various yamen. Since porridge is to be given to the victims, there must be porridge cookers. The food is transported to the disaster area, and it is still distributed in batches, and the porridge is cooked and distributed to various people in the various yamen in turn, but the victims may not necessarily eat porridge..."

Nan Surou spoke very slowly, the prince is impatient, and immediately picked up the topic, "You mean, they will be greedy for food, exploit layer by layer, and in the end maybe use bark and soil to make 'porridge', and then use it Porridge is given to the victims, so the victims will still starve to death, complain again, and even riot..."

Now that we understand the loopholes in the first point, there is nothing difficult to understand about the situation in the second point, and it will definitely happen, as long as a discerning person thinks about it for a while, he can understand it. The prince secretly scolded himself for being stupid , I was deceived by this seemingly gorgeous strategy, I really blame myself for being too utilitarian.

Nan Surou nodded and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is wise, that's exactly the case."

"The establishment of a granary, is it possible that it will also be corrupted?" The prince frowned.

Thinking about it now, the loopholes in the strategies that Xingxiu came up with are all in the hearts of the people. Natural disasters and the sufferings of the people cannot make officials who are used to pocketing their own pockets feel pity. It is impossible that nine out of ten officials have the habit of being greedy for ink. But two or three out of ten black sheep, there will always be some, this point, both the prince and the queen know it well.

The more food is collected, the fatter those who are pocketed will eat more, and the people affected by the disaster... their lives are thinner than paper.

Nan Surou smiled without saying a word, the answer to the prince's question was self-evident.

The prince looked at her expression and started to play on his own: "Setting up a disaster relief granary, I am afraid that there will be no grain in it in the disaster year; and ordering the imperial merchants and wealthy households to deliver grain, those greedy officials will hide the original government-issued grain. Grain, and then force those rich households to provide more rice grain, the wealthy households will definitely complain, and some people may encourage the victims to riot...the tax can be reduced or exempted..." At this point, the prince glanced at Nan Surou, and after a while Cai said: "Even if the emperor issued an imperial edict to reduce or exempt taxes, the local officials may still collect taxes, but they will not pay them to the imperial court. The people in the disaster-stricken areas are still in dire straits..."

Nan Surou nodded, and said in a serious tone: "A country is a country, and a country can have a family, but a country cannot be a country without a family. If you want the people to have such a cognition, you must meet their basic food and clothing conditions. If they can't survive in this country, why do they still support this motherland? If you want to be loved by the people, you must first know how to love the people."

The prince was a little stunned. He thought in his heart that as long as he found a way to make up for the loopholes in these strategies, they would be good strategies, but how to make up for the loopholes?Moreover, even if you know how to fix the loopholes, how can you presume it in front of the emperor?If you are not careful, you will usher in the wrath of thunder.

"However, even if you think of a way to make up for the loopholes, you can keep saying that the officials of the father are enriching their own pockets, this..." The prince wondered.

"So, what the empress said just now is good, success is obtained carefully, wealth is sought in danger, if His Royal Highness directly offers those strategies that seem to work on the surface just now, what is ushered in will definitely not be a reward, which proves that I understand the importance of details, and if you think that you have made a real contribution to this matter and won His Majesty's approval, you must have the courage to look directly at these issues. Your Majesty is a wise king, so you must know it well." Nan Surou chuckled lightly.

The prince stared straight at Nan Surou, trying to show calculations on her face. He didn't trust Nan Surou, especially because Nan Surou was both a woman and a child.

As the saying goes, men's views are as long as possible, and women's views are as short as possible.

The prince is not willing to just follow Nan Surou's strategy. Although what she said is very reasonable, the prince feels weird in his heart.

Seeing the prince's inadvertent body language, Nan Surou's heart sank. She glanced at the empress on the main seat, and asked in a low voice: "Empress, may I ask if the Ninth Prince is engaged?" ?”

The queen was listening carefully to Nan Surou's opinion, and was also evaluating the prince's ability. When Nan Surou suddenly asked such a weird question, the queen subconsciously said: "Ninth prince? I heard that Concubine Lian gave him and Mrs. Concubine Hua seemed to agree, saying that although Jiang Yuemei was not from a high family background, she was still a relative of Concubine Lian and a daughter-in-law of the family. The most important thing was that she was well-educated, gentle and pleasant. Compared with other noble ladies, she was a little less. You're more delicate, more nimble." Speaking of this, the Empress suddenly remembered something, and said, "Surou, speaking of it, Jiang Yuemei is also your distant relative, right?"

Before Nan Surou could respond, the prince had already sneered at the side: "All the concubines in the palace are secretly laughing at Hua Guifei for letting her son marry a village girl, and saying..."

As soon as the prince said this, his words choked up, because a sneer appeared on Nan Surou's face.
