Chapter 553 Clean them up
He was different. When the harvest was good, he didn't voluntarily hand over much silver. But once the harvest was bad, he would immediately ask for money from the court.
So he is smart and clever, covering his own pockets and keeping an eye on the money in the national treasury?
What's going on?
He is a Pixiu, and he only goes in but not out.
In my opinion, we are too kind to these princes. We can't just accept support from the people and then not give a penny when something happens.
There is no such beautiful thing in the world.
A new charter should be drawn up in case of war or major disaster in the country.
All those who had fiefs were required to contribute a certain proportion of silver to support the imperial court according to their wealth.
You can't just enjoy yourself without taking any responsibility.
Where in the world is there such a beautiful thing, what do you think? "
"Hahaha..." Little Heitan's words pleasing to my heart.
Unlike others who only know how to shirk responsibility and fail to solve any problems.
"Yes, you are right, I think so too, hahaha, your idea is good," the emperor was really happy.
Others think that he dotes on the King of the East Sea too much, why don’t they think about it.
Can they compare with my lucky star? Are they worthy?
His lucky star is someone who can always stand on his side as an official and consider his concerns.
No one else can.
Shen Ruyi: "Sir, I'm serious. Please use me as a scapegoat and find an opportunity to establish this rule.
Once I respond, we can guide public opinion and put pressure on other princes, and the matter will be almost settled.
It’s okay if they don’t agree. We can just lead them towards rebellion and see if they can withstand the pressure of public opinion.
If someone really rebels, we are not afraid. We can just destroy them.
If these small courts in the fiefdoms are not handled properly, there will be endless troubles.
Such a large fiefdom couldn't even support their entire prefecture, yet they still had the nerve to ask the imperial court for money? Where was their face?
How useless they are! Could it be that what they eat every day is not food but silver?
The daily living standard in our mansion is not low, but even so, it doesn't cost much money in a year.
I just can’t understand how they can spend so much money.”
"Hahaha, you're right. I'm also curious about where they spent all the money."
You are still a child, you can't think of such dirty and filthy things. The princes below have many tricks to play.
As far as he knew, these princes living away from home lived a life of luxury no less than he, an official.
To maintain a luxurious life, a large amount of silver was needed. When the money extorted from the local people was not enough, they would find all kinds of reasons and excuses to ask the court for silver.
He is also good at crying poor.
"I'm telling you the truth, Your Majesty, if they ask you for money again, you'll call them good-for-nothings and a bunch of drunkards.
Or just give them a new fiefdom. I think it's just bad habits that have been spoiled."
The official nodded repeatedly, "You are right, you are right, I will listen to you, let's do it."
"Yes, Your Majesty, you should have done so long ago. All the land under heaven belongs to the king; all the people under heaven are the king's subjects.
As your people, and people who desire wealth and glory, they will not only help you share more of the pressure.
They even put the pressure on you. I think they have this problem because they have too much free time.
Who is the government? That doesn't make sense. Let's deal with them.
If you think this is difficult to do, then just arrange marriages for their sons.
So they gave the girl from their mortal enemy's family to him.
At the same time, send a few more girls from different forces to make them stir up trouble and get busy.
Once internal unrest breaks out, they will have no time to bother with matters at the court.
Maybe he will even try hard to find a way to build a good relationship with you as an official in order to gain more support.
You can also take action on the issue of establishing a crown prince. You can suppress their petitions for imperial decree and let them fight among themselves over this.
Or he could find an excuse to directly appoint his son who has a conflict with these princes as the crown prince.
A royal palace has limited resources, there is only one crown prince, but there are so many sons.
Who enjoys more and who enjoys less are all concerns and knots in the heart, and it is too easy to make a fuss.
Don’t underestimate this. Take myself as an example. If someone is truly good to me, I am willing to give my life for him or her.
But if he treats me badly or even hurts me, I will do everything I can to send him to hell.
Even if I have to be buried with him, it is fine, even if this person is my biological father.
You see, if I can think this way, others can too. Don’t you agree? "
Others may need to avoid suspicion, but Shen Ruyi feels that there is no suspicion to avoid and can create as much as she wants.
Anyway, she doesn't plan to get married, have children or leave offspring here, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.
She was open-minded and felt that being able to come here and experience this was an unexpected gain, so she was content.
Let her live as long as she can. It is enough for her to have had a glorious existence in this era.
The official really fell into deep thought and began to ponder.
At this moment, Eunuch Wei completely regarded himself as deaf.
He kept telling himself that he heard nothing, he heard nothing, he heard nothing, he was just deaf and blind.
Shen Ruyi talked too much and said she was thirsty. She poured a cup of tea for the official and herself and started drinking it by herself.
After a long while, the official came back to his senses and looked at the little black charcoal who had been filled with indignation just now, and now he was drinking tea leisurely again.
This is very...
The switch was too fast. The officials suspected that this little guy just wanted to make trouble.
I feel that the capital has been too quiet recently, so I deliberately want to stir up some trouble just to watch the fun.
When you think about things that happen one after another, do you forget them as soon as you say them?
The official hadn't thought of ending it yet, when the little thing looked at her watch.
He asked Eunuch Wei, "Eunuch, is it time to serve the imperial meal?"
Official: "..."
I knew it, I knew it would be like this...
Eunuch Wei was pretending to be a wooden man, but when he was suddenly called out, he was so scared that he trembled.
He quickly turned his gaze to the official and waited for him to speak.
This time the official waved his hand weakly, "Present the meal."
Eunuch Wei replied, "Yes, Your Majesty," knowing this would happen.
Shen Ruyi continued, "Your Majesty, I haven't asked you yet, are the seeds you have enough this year? Are they enough to cover the entire country?
The seeds are all in our warehouse, barely moved, so they're all there. If you need them, just send someone to get them."
"Okay, I understand. Wait for the statistics below. If it's not enough, I won't be polite to you."
"Ah."
In this way, Xia Ran successfully got a royal meal here.
Seeing that there was still some food left, I asked for a lunch box to take away.
The reason was: "The rest of my family hasn't tasted the imperial meal yet, so I'm going to bring some back for them to try.
By the way, I can broaden my horizons so that I don’t look like a country bumpkin when I go out and be laughed at by others.”
