Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 531
"Your Majesty, I have one more matter to ask your Majesty for instructions." Xiao He took out a form from his sleeve and handed it to Fusu.

After Fusu saw it, he immediately understood that it was related to the budget for preparing his and Meng Yao's marriage and other expenses.

To be honest, Fusu was also taken aback when he saw the various expenditures listed in the locked report.

Fusu's first thought was whether to reduce the expenses.

The cost involved is really too big, for example, the costumes worn by Fusu and the bride at the wedding are incomparably luxurious and expensive.

In addition, there are various expenses, banquets and so on.

The total cost calculated is at least enough for the Qin army to carry out a small battle.

Xiao He, who was standing under the stage, saw that Fusu was silent, and his heart was pounding.

To be honest, Xiao He has already reduced the various expenditures on this report as much as possible, just to consider that Qin is now facing a war and saving national power, so Xiao He thinks it is better to be frugal.

But on the other hand, Fusu is the King of Qin after all, if a wedding accompanied by a queen conferring ceremony is held in a bad manner, then it really cannot be justified.

As for Xiao He, there is no doubt that he stood up to ask Fu Su's opinion at this moment.

Fusu swallowed back the words that had just come to his lips.

His knuckles tapped lightly on the table, and a thoughtful expression appeared in his eyes.

The current him, standing in a different position, naturally feels different. He naturally knows what Xiao He meant by bringing this report in front of him, hoping that he can set the tone.

In this way, what Xiao He will do next will naturally have a general direction, and it will become extremely simple.

But Fusu thought differently. On the one hand, how to deal with the relationship between Chaozhong and Mengshi, frugal wedding is certainly feasible, but after all, this Mengshi's face is a bit unsightly.

Fusu didn't think too much about this point. Generally speaking, the current Mengshi is still willing to follow him, and his loyalty to him is clearly visible.

What makes Fusu think more is the diplomatic impact brought about by it.You must know that Li Shiqi is already preparing to go to Zhao Guo as an envoy.

If Li Shiqi brought back that Zhao princess after three or two months, then the wedding at this moment would be very meaningful!

The two weddings that were so short before and after were naturally drawn out for comparison.

If the wedding with Mengyao is roughly the same or slightly inferior to the wedding with Princess Zhao, there is no doubt that the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State will think that this is Qin State deliberately showing favor to Zhao State.

In essence, Zhao Guoguo therefore believed that Qin was nothing more than a strong foreign power.

After that, no matter whether Zhao Guo chooses to form an alliance with Qin or cooperate with Shandong countries to attack Qin, he will have the initiative to a certain extent.

After thinking this far, Fu Su said calmly: "Zuo Cheng, this wedding is too light!"

Fu Su stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said: "This marriage between the widow and the Meng family is no small matter. The Meng family has shed blood and sacrificed for our Great Qin for generations, and they are loyal to my Ying family. The widow must not fail the Meng family."

"Besides, this wedding ceremony is another grand ceremony for the Empress Dowager. If it is handled lightly, wouldn't it make those rebels in Shandong laugh at me?"

"That's why, this wedding ceremony must be held in a grand and special way." Fu Su said, and it was settled.

Xiao He was slightly distracted, he also did not expect Fusu to make such a choice at this moment.

Fusu couldn't stop talking at this moment, and continued: "Besides, I think that, to show solemnity, this time the welcoming team has drawn a Habayashi army and a Tiger and Ben army from Shanglin Garden."

Xiao He's heart was beating wildly. Now that the Qin court is up and down, who doesn't know that these two armies are extremely special?
Leaving aside the Habayashi Army for the time being, Fusu's most important army at that time was even more powerful in terms of combat power and quality.

There is also the Huben army, which is the gathering place of the real royal family and nobles. It is not an exaggeration to say that if a brick is thrown down, it may hit a son of a noble family.

Similarly, the training that the Huben Army has undergone is also extremely rigorous, but compared with the Habayashi Army, it still lacks some experience in battle formation.

It can be said that these two teams have given Montessori enough face to welcome the relatives.

Fusu glanced into the distance, and said: "Zuo Cheng, is it autumn now?"

"That's right." Xiao He nodded and said, "Now the people in Guanzhong have started harvesting grain and paying taxes to the government."

"What's the estimated harvest this year?" Fusu then asked.

Xiao He thought for a while, took out an account book from his sleeve, looked at it, and said, "Your Majesty, Guanzhong must have a bumper harvest this year."

"How do you know that?" Fusu smiled.

"Your Majesty, after two years of measures such as Quyuan plow, waterwheel, and river dredging, countless acres of fields in Guanzhong have changed from the original lower field to the middle field, and the middle field has become the upper field. Last year, the grain production was already very high. It is gratifying, and there are no major disasters this year, so it must be a bumper harvest year."

Fusu chuckled, to be honest, Fusu already knew about these things, and the question to Xiao He might not have the meaning of an examination.

During the two months of visiting folks, Fusu did not go on a trip.

Although not all of them escaped from Guanzhong, Fusu still understood the general situation in Guanzhong. It was impossible for Fusu not to care about the extent to which advanced agricultural tools such as waterwheels and quyuanli were popularized.

The so-called "food is the most important thing for the people", if the common people have no food to eat, no matter how strong the sign of Ying's is, it will not have the slightest effect.

Moreover, if food is abundant, people's hearts will be stable. You must know that Guanzhong has moved in a lot of migrant households.

If they can't survive in Guanzhong, they will escape here.

"Since this is the case, on the occasion of the widow's wedding, let's have fun with the people, and this year's tax will be temporarily exempted!"

"In addition, three sheep and six stones of rice will be given to each mile. There will also be double rewards for the survivors of the soldiers who died in battle..."

Xiao He opened his mouth wide, listening to what Fusu said in disbelief.

First, the tax was reduced or exempted for one year, and Fusu thought that Fusu was already generous enough!
Never expected that there would be a reward behind this.

"Your Majesty, if you do this, the treasury is afraid..." Xiao He hesitated to speak.

To be honest, seeing the money in the national treasury constantly being spent every day, Xiao He felt a headache. According to Fusu's extravagant way of spending, who's accumulated wealth can withstand such a waste?
In the end, if the national treasury bottomed out, and he, the Prime Minister Zuo Cheng, didn't report it, then Xiao He would be in big trouble!
Fu Su smiled slightly, and said: "Xiao Qing, just do it, don't have any scruples."
