Looking After a Battle God With Hundreds of Billions in Supplies Chapter 568

  Chapter 568 Crying poor, I really have no money

  Inside the Golden Luan Hall.

  As soon as he went to court, Su Yulun and Duke Jingguo separated to tell Xiao Jin about the disaster relief and resettlement situation in Kuncheng.

   It has been more than two months since the incident, and the people in Kuncheng have basically been settled by the court.

   It's just that this earthquake has caused too much damage to Kuncheng. The post-disaster reconstruction work will be a long and very expensive project. It is already difficult for the treasury to spend so much money to fill it.

  Xiao Jin looked at Hubu Shangshu in a blink of an eye.

  The Secretary of the Household Department felt his scalp tingling, so he could only stand up and say mournfully, "Your Majesty, the treasury has spent a lot this year. Yes, the money that can be allocated to Kuncheng is really limited."

   I have no money, even if I have money, I have to cry poor!

   Otherwise, among these wolves and tigers standing next to the hall, I don't know how many of them want to take money from the treasury!

  Xiao Jin frowned a pair of heroic eyebrows in a little embarrassment, "Does Aiqing mean that the treasury is out of money?"

  Houbu Shangshu nodded in embarrassment, "Yes."

  Xiao Jin frowned even tighter, slowly raised his eyelids, and glanced over the officials below.

  The ministers hurriedly lowered their heads and pretended to be dead, thinking silently in their hearts, they can't see me, they can't see me!

Don't look at the worried look on the emperor's face. In fact, he doesn't know what he is planning. The eyes that are suppressed and calculating are clearly looking at which of these ministers has fatter body, so as to scrape off a layer of oil and water from it. !

  Should I say it or not, these ministers have a correct understanding of Xiao Jin.

   Sure enough, everyone heard Xiao Jin say faintly: "Master Li, I heard that you plan to buy a mountain villa in the suburbs to avoid the cold recently? Such a good villa must cost a lot of money."

   Lord Li's hairs stood on end, he just mentioned it to his wife, how did this matter get to the emperor's ears!

  Master Li wanted to play dead, but obviously the emperor couldn't agree.

   "Go back to the emperor, no, nothing."

  Xiao Jin was noncommittal, and then turned his attention to the other ministers. After the roll call, everyone was so frightened that he wanted to cry that he didn't want his salary anymore, so the emperor let them go!

   But obviously, Xiao Jin didn't intend to just let them go.

Those who can stand in the Golden Luan Hall have few empty pockets. A court minister has a maximum salary of one year. Even if he does not eat or drink for decades, it is impossible to afford a place in the capital. Big house, but these people in front of them live in a house without pavilions.

"Kuncheng is so difficult. As the king of a country, I really feel uncomfortable. Mr. Zhang, from today until Kuncheng is successfully rebuilt, I will no longer add new clothes, and the expenditure in the palace will be halved again. In the future, you should stop talking in front of me about accepting the harem and not accepting the harem. One more person, one more mouth, I can't afford it.”

   If the harem is not widely accepted, how can their eldest daughter and younger daughter approach the emperor!

  This is not okay!

   "Your Majesty, I have no other hobbies these years. There is still a surplus in my family's expenses. I am willing to donate the remaining money to make a small contribution to the people of Kuncheng."

  The minister who reacted quickly stood up and expressed his opinion immediately.

  Someone started, but the others couldn't do it if they didn't want to follow. They could only express their willingness to contribute to the imperial court.

   But the money they dare to take out is also limited, Xiao Jin wants more than just these.

   "Prime Minister Su, I heard that you also have some contacts with the imperial merchants in the south of the Yangtze River?"

  Su Yulun finally came back to court. He wanted to keep a low profile, but the emperor pointed him out in public.

"Back to the emperor, I have no close contact with the imperial merchants, but I have only met once, but I think that they, as the imperial merchants, have the responsibility to stand up and lend a helping hand to the country when the country is in trouble. Don't worry, your majesty. The ministers must tell them to let them contribute to the country, and they will definitely call on more businessmen to participate in helping Kuncheng."

   Tut!

  Listen!

  Being a prime minister is different. The emperor just opens his mouth, and the prime minister can know what the emperor means.

   Sure enough, everyone saw the emperor and nodded in satisfaction, "Then there is Aiqing Lao. If you other Aiqing know such a person, you can also tell them."

  Tell them what Xiao Jin didn't say clearly, but everyone who knows knows that the emperor asked them to ask merchants for money!

  The emperor's abacus can be heard by cows grazing outside the border!

  After the court disbanded, the ministers were cursing in their hearts, but fortunately the emperor didn't embarrass them, just let them get money.

   "Hey, you said that even if we get silver money, it won't be enough, unless we can find another gold mine."

  Some younger ministers were ignorant, and started muttering to their colleagues before they even walked out of the palace gate.

  When the colleague heard it, he quickly made a gesture of silence to him, "Master Zhang is still cautious." What gold mines are not gold mines, are they so easy to find?

  Even if it is found, can the emperor let everyone know?

  The adult also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly silenced his voice and couldn't help but quicken his pace and left the palace.

   Outside the gate of the palace, the carriages of various mansions were parked, all of them were waiting for the court ministers to come down.

   Behind these carriages, there was a thin figure hiding in the dark and quietly observing the direction of the palace gate.

   It's just that he can't recognize these officials at all, and can only guess based on the carriage they are on.

  When he saw the carriage of the Yasukuni Mansion passing by, he quickly chased after it.

   It's just that his injuries haven't healed and he couldn't walk in the carriage at all. Fortunately, the carriage was quite congested at this time, so he finally stopped him in front of the carriage.

  The coachman was startled and hurriedly pulled the carriage to a stop. After seeing the person blocking the carriage, he couldn't help cursing, "What are you doing, do you want to die? Don't even look at whose carriage it is, you can stop it?"

  Si Chen looked at the badge on the carriage and slowly knelt down, "I beg Lord Jingguo to be the next official."

It took a long time in the car to hear a powerful voice, "If you have a grievance, you can go to Jing Zhaoyin's mansion to report to the official. Don't worry, Jing Zhaoyin is definitely a fair and strict official, and will not let a person who commits evil .”

  Si Chen clenched his fists and choked with sobs: "Master, Jing Zhaoyin has nothing to do with this matter, it's about Kuncheng."

  The eyes of the person sitting in the carriage darkened slightly, and after lifting a corner of the curtain to look at Si Chen, he asked the guards to take him to the Duke Zhen's mansion.

  Si Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Lord Yasukuni was willing to meet him.

  Early before he was selected as Tanhua, he got the help of Lord Yasukuni. For him, Lord Yasukuni was kind to him and he was the only person he trusted in the capital.

  It's not that he didn't think of looking for Duke Yasukuni before, but all his letters to the Duke Yasukuni's mansion fell to nothing. Today he wanted to go outside the palace gate, but he didn't expect to meet Duke Yasukuni's chariots!
