The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 795 Follow-up to the Temple
It was about half a month since everyone in the temple was wiped out, and Zhao Xu had already returned to Bianjing by this time.

It is not Zhao Xu or Zhao Kuangyin who gained the most from this trip, but Dou Yi, the Minister of the Household Department of the Great Song Dynasty.

That is, the Dou Yi who gave Zhao Kuangyin a headache back then. Originally, he was in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Minister of the Ministry of Households, but Zhao Kuangyin's imperial decree directly asked him to take charge of the Ministry of Households.

Although this seems to be flat, but it is more gracious to Dou Yi, the Ministry of Households is much more important than the Ministry of Works.

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the household registration and taxation of the world. It is the Ministry of Finance of the country, and the Minister of the Household Department is the steward of the world.

Zhao Kuangyin fell in love with Dou Yi because of his penny-pinching personality. It was most suitable for such a person to let him manage money, so he became Zhao Kuangyin's big housekeeper.

Also, he is a relatively upright person, so Zhao Kuangyin is more at ease to use him, so that he becomes the Minister of the Household Department.

Since ancient times, the Ministry of Household Affairs has always been a place to spend and pay money, but this time, Dou Yi has just become a minister, so he has a lot of income.

This batch of goods is enough for Da Song's current income for two years, and it is the first time that the household department is troubled by the fact that the warehouse can't fit.

"Your Highness, please take a look at this memorial to expand our household treasury requested by the minister." Dou Yi followed Zhao Xu all the time when she was in court, and now she has come to the East Palace.

"I said Master Dou, I don't seem to be in charge of this thing. You should write a letter to my father. How can I care about these things?"

This is what Zhao Xu is most afraid of, so he usually avoids it if he can. Besides, he shouldn't be the one to ask about this matter.

"The emperor said that this matter should be decided by the crown prince. Let the minister follow your orders directly. He said that these things were brought back by you, so let me listen to you."

Dou Yi said sincerely, this left Zhao Xu speechless, dad was trying to be lazy, when did he have to manage so many things.

Could it be that he wants to retire early? This is not acceptable. If I retire early, what will happen to my freedom in the future?
"Well, this warehouse should be expanded, so that it will be twice as large as your plan, and the underground will be dug once more, so that there will be no more trouble in the future."

Zhao Xu just glanced at Dou Yi's memorial and immediately made a decision. In the future, the treasury of Song Dynasty will only become richer and richer, and a larger place can save money.

"Your Highness, such a large area? Are you thinking about it? If, the minister is saying that if we build such a large place, if we don't have so many things to store, will it be wasted?"

Dou Yi just felt that it was unnecessary, the warehouse could meet future needs, any more would be a waste, and the household department would have to pay more money again.

So what Dou Yi wanted to tell Zhao Xu was that your highness didn't think it was necessary, you are messing around!

"Master Dou, you will know in the future how wise the decision I made today is. I'm afraid I may blind you by then. Don't say too much, just do it according to Gu's will."

After the joke, there will be more and more fiscal and tax revenues, and then you will be blinded by your dog's eyes.

"Is there anything else? If there is nothing else, I will be busy. You should also discuss with the people in the household department. Complete this matter in the shortest time and with the highest quality. Go."

"My minister retire."

Zhao Xu was in a hurry to go back to see his women and children, and he was tired of arguing with them as soon as he came back.

Now that Dou Yi was sent away, Zhao Xu sighed when he saw two people walking towards him in a hurry before he could turn his head.

"Prince!"; both of them saluted respectfully.

"Did you two bastards show up after watching me send Dou Yi away?" Zhao Xu scolded with a smile.

These two were not Zhao Xu's right-hand men, and who else was known as the left-hand King Kong by outsiders? Hearing what Zhao Xu said, the two of them didn't say anything, and just giggled.

"Let's talk, is the matter done and they are all gone?" After Zhao Xu joked with them, he directly started to get to the point.

"Yes, our people personally watched them sail into the vast sea, but there is still one thing I don't understand, Your Highness. Why did you let them go?"

Liu Qinhu not only answered Zhao Kuangyin's question, but also asked a question himself.

"I know that you all have doubts, but I can tell you that this is what I just thought of. This kind of person is making trouble for us here, and letting him go out is to expand our territory in the Central Plains. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Zhao Xu said indifferently. He knew that many people didn't understand what he did. Is there any difference between doing this and letting the tiger go back to the mountain?

"I don't understand either. We spent so much effort to surround their people this time. As long as they are all around, their power will develop again in a short time. I really don't know what you think, Your Highness. .”

Dong Zhenhai also expressed his incomprehension. It was the first time that Zhao Xu's two generals questioned Zhao Xu's decision. At other times, they followed Xu's orders very faithfully.

What happened today, why did they object to Zhao Xu, and what exactly did Zhao Xu do that made them so resistant.

It seems that the two of them can only be regarded as two representatives of the opponents, and they can only speak out from them.

"Hahaha, there is nothing to be afraid of. Since I can uproot them once, I am also capable of a second or even a third time. They will always be our defeat. Just rest assured."

Zhao Xu said confidently, it turned out that the person he let go was Zhu Qianchou, the Holy Lord of the temple, not only that, but you also let go of the elders he captured.

This made Zhao Xu's people not understand, and did not dare to agree with Zhao Xu's approach. Although they did not understand, they still carried out Zhao Xu's order.

Now that it's done, they started to complain and didn't understand what Zhao Xu'e did.

It is also true that they spent a lot of effort to destroy the temple, and now they are only short of these few people. As long as the remaining "bandit leaders" are eliminated, the temple can be easily wiped out.

Now, Your Highness, have you smoked? How could you do that? That's why these two generals dared to say that to Zhao Xu.

"I know you don't understand, but I can tell you clearly, they can't escape my palm, this world belongs to my Great Song Dynasty, it belongs to everyone, and they can't stir up troubles for the remnants of the temple!"

In Zhao Xu's eyes, these people could not stir up troubles. Everything was under his control, which was an unparalleled confidence.
