Chapter 452

He was listed as an official in the dynasty for many years. He knew his Majesty's temper and temperament. Seeing that he was burning with anger, he dared not say it easily. He shrank aside and let Emperor Yan get angry.

Anyway, the Dharma is not responsible for the public. As long as he doesn't make a sound, Emperor Yan can't do anything. He doesn't know which unlucky guy to cut.

It's a pity that the devil is a foot high and the road is a foot high. Usually those mediocre guys, Yan Di doesn't intend to seek advice. Yan Di's tiger eyes sweep the seats and see Xu Shian.

Today, Xu Shizi of the Duke of the state of Xu is different from the past. He can be called the "Jieyu flower" of Emperor Yan in the imperial court. He is crafty and can not be underestimated. He supervises Dali temple and sings a red face and a white face with Emperor Yan. In less than a few months, he has almost pulled out his Majesty's thorns in his eyes and flesh.

For a moment, the court was alarmed. People were in danger for fear that they would become the next unlucky egg.

As soon as the ministers saw that his majesty asked Xu Shian, they were not happy but worried.

For nothing else, they didn't find it before. Now they know that Xu Shian is really not at the same level as He Dong.

He Dong comes in the open, but Xu Shian is different. He comes in the dark, just like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity. You don't know when he will suddenly get up and bite you.

After repeated several times, we all know that if Xu Shian doesn't speak, it must be bad.

Sure enough, before the thought was over, Xu Shian said in his unique soft tone, "tell your majesty that as a minister, Wei minister should share his worries for your majesty, but now the Treasury is empty, and the minister is also powerless. After thinking about it, he is willing to donate a year's salary to buy clothes for the border officers and soldiers to keep out the cold."

This remark shocked the government and the public.

All the officials whispered to each other and looked at Xu Shian together. If the eyes of all the officials turned into knives, I'm afraid Xu Shian has become a beehive.

The highest salary of all the officials in the state of Yan is only 2000 Liang a year, and if there is no gray income, Kan can just live enough for the whole family. Now Xu Shian takes the lead in saying that he wants to donate a year's salary, which is tantamount to pulling all the civil and military officials into the thief boat.

There was an uproar under the stage.

Yan Di's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is indeed a way. As long as we survive the winter and the spring comes, new tax silver will come in. In this way, the silver circulation will be flexible and the urgent need for military pay can be solved. As expected, we can kill several birds with one stone.

"What do you think of being listed as Aiqing?" The emperor's tiger eyes were clear and prowled back and forth. His expression seemed to say that as long as someone dared to say a word of no, he would immediately cut the opponent.

Ministers dare not say much, and no one answers.

"Very good. Let's do it according to Xu Aiqing's method. Whoever comes out more, I will reward him heavily and retreat from the court."

This is the real left pocket out and right pocket in.

In recent days, Cheng Guogong Yan Tianji has been asking for leave. After 39 days, his cold disease became more and more serious, and he was almost unable to walk.

His Majesty's imperial edict has not come down yet, but the Chengguo government is blocked by a group of ministers.

"Lord, you have to find a way. Your majesty is forcing the officials to beg!"

"My Lord, now Xu Shian's yellow mouth child dares to put his beak on the court hall. Your majesty is going to bury the old ministers without you. Your majesty is credulous. You have to decide for us..."

"Just..."

There was a lot of noise, and the flower Hall of the government seemed to be the second court hall.

Yan Tianji didn't speak for a long time.

Sometimes he doubted whether it was right or wrong to promote Xu Shian when he was criticized.

He is a young man with courage, but he seems to be eager for quick success and instant benefit. Even he can see that Xu Shian seems to be flattering Emperor Yan blindly.

Ordinary people flatter and welcome. There are always some hidden secrets in their hearts. It is said that the eldest princess Yan Luoqing appreciates him very much. Even the emperor intends to recruit him as a fast-moving son-in-law, but it is surprising that Xu Shian prevaricated the matter on the grounds of not marrying a wife before the funeral.

Just imagine that there is no Qingyun road faster and more soaring than being the emperor's son-in-law?

Xu Shian refused so happily that it was not for fame and wealth, but his practice was to be enemies with courtiers everywhere, which was really confusing.

Duke Cheng thought for a moment. It seemed that he had to go to the palace.

He waved his hand and motioned to the minister to take it easy. "It's an eventful autumn. Don't get excited. Let's discuss something in the discussion garden. Since you come to our government, don't talk about business, drink tea, drink tea."

Now Emperor Yan is suspicious and thoughtful. Before this policy was issued today, most of the courtiers came to the government house to complain and shoot out the head bird. It's difficult for Yan Tianji to stay out of the matter.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present heard an unusual smell. A cold sweat broke out on his back and hurried to change the topic. He hurried to leave before drinking a cup of tea.

As soon as the people who came to complain left, Yan Tianji stopped delaying and waved to the steward of the government, "go to the warehouse and see how much cash there is in addition to the necessary expenses of the government."

The stewards of the government are old people who have been with the Lord for a long time. The Lord doesn't like to manage the mundane affairs of the government, but once he gets involved, it's a big deal.

The steward didn't dare to delay. After receiving the order, he hurried to count.

After a while, the steward took an account book and put it in front of Yan Tianji. "Lord Hou, this is the cash left by the house after removing the living expenses. There are 30000 Liang in total."

Yan Tianji mused, "all count?"

The steward was surprised, "Hou ye..."

Chengguo government has 3000 mu of feudal land and 10000 hectares of fertile land, all of which are rented by tenants. The annual rent is not a small number. Moreover, the Marquis is a first-class public, and his salary is 100000 Liang every year. It does not count the Marquis's investment in central Beijing. What he was in charge of just now is just some small expenses. The big ones have not been moved for several years.

"Huh? Why don't you know? " Cheng Guogong was not angry. Seeing the steward's hesitation, he just raised his eyebrows. The steward immediately responded, "plus the previous, there are 1.1 million Liang in total."

That's pretty much the same.
