Chapter 230: The clever woman can't cook without rice

In July of the first year of Cheng Qi, which was the third month of the Nangong Jingnv ’s ascension, the difficult situation that finally stabilized fell into an unexpected crisis.
Since there was a dynasty in ancient times, people in this world have been divided into three, six, and nine grades, and they are called "Shi Nong Industry and Commerce" by court rules. The importance of "Agriculture" is second only to "Shi".
The imperial court and local government need to operate, and they need to collect taxes from farmers. Once something goes wrong, the world is not far from chaos ...
For three months, Nangong Jingnu worked hard day and night and did not dare to slack off for a moment. She used her actual actions to conquer the harsh civil service group, and also temporarily stabilized the military officer group in various ways. I thought it was finally possible With a sigh of relief, it was a pity that the sky didn't make people wish.
On a certain day of July, it was a great season for grains in the north to begin to harvest and harvesting in the south. However, a natural disaster that swept across the north and south and the north was a disaster.
The severe drought in the north swept across the fourteen prefectures in the Gyeonggi region, resulting in a large area of ​​ear-growing cereals growing into empty shells.
A flood erupted in the south. The flood spread to seven prefectures, five of which were food producing areas, granaries in the south of Wei Kingdom, and money bags of the court.
Although Nangong Jingnv lowered the tax exemption after she ascended to the throne, because the North has not been very peaceful in recent years, there is not much surplus in the households of the affected people in the North this time, and the vast majority of peasant households have enough food for the whole family. Eat for a few months and then face the long winter. Although the South is relatively wealthy, the floods have washed away countless farmlands and granaries, tens of thousands of people have been displaced, and their families have lost their rations.
The post officials from the north and the south carried the red souvenir Pegasus into Beijing. The Nangong Jingnv was shocked after reading it. The preliminary statistics of the losses were written in the various provinces, and the figures were shocking.
Nangong Jingnv called for a concentration decree late at night, and officials from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Secretary for Agriculture entered the palace to discuss matters.
Nangong Jingnv: "At least 300,000 people were affected by the disaster on both the north and south sides. He decided to have a group of people from the Ministry of Industry to quickly rush to the seven affected states in the south to mobilize local governments and the garrison to strengthen the dam to resist the flood. Repair the damaged settings in the seven places, and specially allocated a portion of the funds for the reconstruction of the homes of the affected people. Officials from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs went along with Yu Shi to supervise them. The Chinese Ministry of Housing led officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and Dasongong to them. Grain and grass are transported to the affected state capital in the north. The chief farmer is responsible for on-site inspections to see if the crops can be remedied. The province of China is responsible for supervision. It is necessary to ensure that each affected farmer can get enough rations to survive the winter! Hushang Shangshu, you immediately convened someone to count the two disaster relief funds, and before dawn, you should see the specific figures. "Said to send the north and south sides of the report to Beijing to Hushang Shangshu.
Hushang Shangshu took it with both hands: "Old minister complies."
Nangong Jingnv gave a small parliament hall in Ganquan Palace to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and ordered everyone to quickly enter the Ministry's master book and the accountant into the palace.
On the other side, Xing Jingfu took the handmaiden of Nangong Palace and went to Hongwen Museum to get the peerless treasure of the inner court: "Kyushu Huanyu". This is the year when Nangong made 39 years old, a tourist named Yuzi Nangongrang also presented this birthday gift to casual people. It was through this picture that he learned that there was still half a mountain in the north of Tianli, and the war was waged.
Since the reunification of the North and the South, Nangong Jean has stored this map in the Hongwen Museum. At present,
Kyushu Huanyu
is the most accurate and complete map of the Wei country.
After getting the map, Xing Jingfu took other officials to another palace. They needed to determine the location of the disaster area, calculate the distance, and plan the route in the shortest time.
Eight other insiders brought together two boxes of dossiers, which contained the local chronicles and water records of the Wei state capitals. The Ministry of Industry needs to use these dossiers to plan the most suitable disaster relief tools and repairing equipment in conjunction with the geographical location.
Nangong Jingnv walked between the two palaces from time to time, asking about the progress.
On a quiet night, the lights in the Ganquan Palace were brightly lit, and there was a rapid and clear voice from the negotiating hall next to it. Adults in the side hall on the north side were discussing hotly.
The dripping hourglass was ticking, the time passed little by little, and the east was white.
Almost at the same time, the family secretary Shangshu and the minister of the Ministry of Industry each held a stack of paper and ran back to the hall.
Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "Your Majesty, the equipment required for flood control has been derived. This is the required list of materials and costs, as well as the estimated number of craftsmen. This ... is the specific route given by the master in the book, and is fastest."
Hushang Shangshu: "Your Majesty, this is Hussein's calculation of the amount of grain and grass needed in the north and the amount of silver needed in the disaster-stricken area in the south."
Nangong Jingnv took out the expense list given by the Ministry of Labor and handed it to the Ministry of Households: "How much would it take to add this together?"
Hushang Shushu held the list in his left hand, raised his right hand, and began to calculate: "A total of 2.3 million 2903 pieces of silver is required, and 230,000 food is needed!"
Nangong Jingnv asked Xing Jingfu again: "When can I reach the disaster area?"
Xing Jingfu: "It will be faster to travel by road in the north. If you are fast, you will reach the affected state government in 40 days. The minister in the south suggested to take the water. A flood that swept the postway will be damaged. The required silver, stone, and wood are all damaged. It ’s heavy, and I ’m afraid it ’s muddy and difficult to travel. Although the waterway will take a while to bend around, it will be longer than land, and it will take two months at the earliest ...

The Ministry of Criminal Justice said: "However ... Your Majesty can send the postman back home day and night, and the state capital in the affected area will dispose of it in advance, waiting for the rescue of the court."
Nangong Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Go ahead."
Everyone: "Follow the will."
Only the Ministry of Households revealed in writing, kneeling down on the ground: "Your Majesty, I am afraid ..."
Nangong Jingnu: "What's wrong?"
Hushang Shangshu: "His Majesty, Husband ... there is not so much silver."
There was a trace of anger in the eyes of Nangong Jingnv, asking, "What about the treasury's silver?"
Hushang Shangshu took the account book in the master's book and put it on the ground in front of him, and opened it: "Your Majesty, since the thirteen years of Jingjia, the amount of money delivered to the Hubu by local governments has been inadequate. It ’s not as good as one year ... but the expenditure of the imperial court has increased instead. The treasury's money is getting less and less every year!

Da Si Nong: "His Majesty, since the thirteen years of Jingjia, there have been natural disasters in various places, and the court has reduced some taxes ..."
Nangong Jingnv remembered that this was indeed the case, and she still made the decision herself, but she remembered that there was a lot of money in the treasury, and even if she failed to collect taxes, she would not be able to get more than two million ...
Nangong Jingnv: "Where's the silver in the treasury? Where have all the silver that was collected before?"
Hube Shangshu raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat.
Nangong Jingnv: "Whatever you say, this house ... I forgive you for not being guilty."
The book of the Ministry of Family Affairs: "The funeral affairs of Zunzhi, the eldest prince, King King, and King Yu, etc. According to the rules, the budget for the funeral of each king is one million two, and the repair of the ancestral fire took four. One million two, the construction of the emperor's mausoleum started from the year after the emperor's ascension, and it would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan each year. In the past, the expenses of the inner court ... Between 100,000 yuan and several disaster relief efforts ... "
Hushou Shangshu licked his fingers and flipped through the account book: "It took forty to eighty million yuan, and there were materials for the people on the road to the affected people, repair materials, artisan money ... and ... every year The military maintenance expenses reported by generals in various places are about 4 million yuan per year. In most cases, 5 million are unstoppable. The military department is not under the control of the old minister. All the reported funds are approved by the township public landlord. Can approve silver money. Also, the Palace of the Unknown, the Palace of the Unknown ... reconstruction, the emperor's decrees, and other 'restitution', this palace is the former palace of the former dynasty, and the luxury of the former emperor is famous It took more than 8 million taels of silver to restore the Palace of Unknowns! This time the Youzhou garrison entered Beijing to all the consumption along the way. The general king reported it to the court, and just recently took two hundred away from the household. Wan Liang. In recent years, taxes have been falling year by year. Many empty houses have been produced in various places. The flow of peasant households has been black households, and the Ministry of Households really cannot collect silver! The cost of the imperial court has been increasing year by year. There is no silver in the ministry! The old minister dies, and the ministry can now take it immediately. I ’m afraid that the two dollars are gone! Her Majesty ’s ascension has reduced taxes in various places. I do n’t know how long these two million pairs will last. It ’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. It ’s difficult for an old minister. Out of money! "
Nangong Jingnv clenched her fists and listened to the various expenses of the Ministry of Education. Her hands were exuding fine sweat.
All the courtiers in the temple were silent, and they knelt on the ground silently.
Nangong Jingnv looked at them and felt the weight of Jiangshan for the first time.
She knew there were a lot of problems in the court, but she never expected that the days when she was in charge of listening to politics were just the tip of the iceberg! Frozen three feet is not a day's cold. At this moment, I don't know how many years have accumulated before these problems erupted. This is not a situation where the hard work and hard work of Nangong Jingnv can turn around.
Even the emperors above tens of millions were unable to return to heaven.
Nangong Jingnu: "What are you all doing on your knees? I didn't say who to blame, so I stood up to discuss countermeasures with me." The voice was exhausted and a little hoarse.
Everyone stood up, but still did not dare to speak. Think of ways to? How can the real gold and silver deficit be conceived?
After a night of discussions, it did not work out. Nangong Jingnu had to open her bloodshot eyes and take a group of courtiers to go to the dynasty.
Throughout the Korean congress, the ministers discussed this issue, but never got an answer that would satisfy Nangong Jingnv.
Since Nangong Jingnv's ascension, it has been almost normal to have eyes closed all day and night. Sometimes she is busy and can't even drink her saliva.
This time, she hadn't closed her eyes for nearly two days. She felt her head swell and her temples sting.
After the dynasty, Nangong Jingnv ordered her to ride the court without changing her uniform. Qi Yan also closed herself in the study last night and slept at midnight. When Nangong Jingnv came, she just woke up and did not wash and change clothes. .
Nangong Jingnu: "Go down first."
Qi Yan: "Your Majesty."
Nangong Jingnv: "Don't get up." He walked to Qi Yan's bed and planted it.
Qi Yan was frightened, and looked anxiously at Nangong Jingnu's situation: "Your Majesty ?! What's wrong with you?"
Nangong Jingnvqiang opened her eyes and said weakly: "The disaster has been recruited in the north and the south, and the household has no money ... Qi Yan, I ... so tired."
Nangong Jingnv's face was so bad that she blinked twice and closed her eyes, lying there motionless.
Qi Yan looked at such a Nangong Jingnu with distress and complexity.
She raised her hand and touched Nangong Jingnv's cheek, removed the shoes and socks for Nangong Jingnv and took off the crown, and said softly, "Sleep, there must be a way. When Her Majesty wakes up, let's find a way together."
Nangong Jingnv gave a "snoring" sound, leaned her head and slammed Qi Qiyan's legs with her nose, and fell asleep.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
It ’s been a long time since the long author has something to say, I have to say it again today.
I read the message yesterday, and some readers said that Qi Yan may be the second blue child of the kneeling family. The reason is: Qi Yan bears such a deep hatred. He actually wants to help Nangong Jingnv and betray his tribe. I respect every reader. It ’s also a good thing to be able to discuss. I thank you here, and then I thought about it. In fact, I have penetrated into many chapters bit by bit, so I gave this reader the same in the discourse. Confused friends briefly.
First of all, let's talk about the external reasons: 1. There are not many compatriots in the steppe. The existing steppe people are the descendants of the Tuba Department at that time. In Qi Yan's heart, they are also enemies. The Plow Department has basically died.
2. Qi Yan did not give up revenge, but he and Bayin and Kocho have experienced different things. Qi Yan is more of a torture in the mind. Bayyo and Kocho are physical and mental, so the day after tomorrow Personalities are also different.
3: On the one hand, Qi Yan was in love with Nangong Jingnv, on the other hand, Qi Yan personally promoted Nangong ’s death, and he told his secret that he had accumulated for many years. This is psychologically speaking, Qi Yan ’s hatred And resentment was resolved.
4. In the process of my creation, Qi Yan's mentality kept changing. From the beginning, she and Bayin Kobori were to overthrow the entire Wei Kingdom. Later, as she grew, she saw more and more. She began to narrow down the scope of her revenge—Nangong Royal Family, Xing Jingfu, Taiweifu House, and Ding Yi Family. I have n’t collapsed this setting, even if Qi Yan loves Nangong Jingnu so much, she still gives Nangong Did it.
But just removed a Nangong Jingnu ...
5. Don't forget that Qi Yan is a half-breed. Her mother is a Wei national.
6. Why does Qi Yan help Nangong Jingnu because she loves her, this is not a betrayal of the grassland, but that Nangong Jingnu is now the emperor. If she loses, she is equal to death. She will take it easy, she doesn't want to provoke war.
This is not a betrayal of the grasslands. As long as the grasslands can't afford soldiers, they can still maintain the status quo. Although they have suffered brutal persecution, the Wei country is indeed owed to the grasslands and will never be replaced. But now this peace, who breaks, is tragedy. The second founder.
These are the thoughts of Qi Yan and me, as well as some of the ideas I penetrated into the novel. Qi Yan is not a girl who kneels and licks, never will.
She is very difficult. Even my author can't see everything at a glance. This feeling can only be realized by the princes themselves.
A hate is harder to lay down than revenge.
But Qi Yan just let go of her hatred for the ordinary people in Wei Kingdom, and she didn't stop.
It was an accident to fall in love with Nangong Jingnu. It's also ... yeah.
