Chapter 850

Since ancient times, women don't go to court. Xia Xi is the first since the founding of Daqing. The eyes of civil and military officials fall on her.

Xia Xi did not squint, went to the stage, salute, "Chen Fu has seen the emperor."

The emperor's face was very ugly. "Princess Zhan, do you have a good solution for the lack of military supplies at the border?"

Hubu Shangshu is sweating and kneels down on the ground. Wen Yan looks up at Xia Xi and quickly drops his head.

Xia Xi answered naturally, "of course, it's from the Treasury, isn't it always the case?"

The emperor's face was even worse. "I know, but there isn't so much silver in the Treasury."

"How many supplies does the emperor intend to give to the border?"

"Five million taels."

Xia Xi was startled, "don't you say that the Treasury doesn't even have five million taels of silver?"

The emperor's face was completely black.

Hubu Shangshu wanted to kneel down for Xia Xi. His cold sweat came out again, and his teeth trembled. "No, it's not that he can't move the Treasury without five million taels."

Xia Xi's voice was slow, not light, not heavy. "The border war is a matter of great importance to the country. We should support it with the help of the whole nation. If there is no military supplies and the border is lost, can you consider the consequences?"

The head of the Minister of the Ministry of household is lower than that of the Minister of household. "Of course, I know that it's hard for a woman to cook without rice. Even if I change my position, the Ministry of household can't afford so much money."

Xia Xi doesn't embarrass him either, "the emperor, there's no way for the Secretary of the household department, and I'm even more helpless for a woman."

She said to the left a woman and to the right a woman. The emperor felt a headache and said, "an Shangshu has put forward a way for officials to raise money. I also think this method is feasible. How about setting an example for Zhan Wangfei?"

Xia Xi was surprised again for a moment, "the emperor's meaning is to let the Warlord's house take the lead to dig out the silver and fill the Treasury?"

The emperor's face could not be hung. "It's not filling the Treasury, it's purchasing military supplies and sending them to the border to support Fengche!"

The last sentence he accentuated tone, wind Che is her man, even if not for war, for wind Che she should also take the lead in donating money.

Sure enough, Xia Xi was told, "how much do you need to donate?"

Hubu Shangshu a hi, replied, "only three million Liang."

"How much?"

Xia Xi's voice soared and reverberated in the open hall.

All the civil and military officials are shocked. Three million taels is not a small amount. Even if the prince's mansion can give one million taels, they will get two million taels. What's more, listening to the tone of Princess Zhan, they can't hold so many taels.

Hubu Shangshu's heart is also a clapping, quietly looking up at the emperor's look, see the emperor's brow slightly wrinkled. He stretched out three fingers to Xia Xi, raised his voice slightly and said, "three million Liang."

"Ha ha..."

Xia Xi sneered, and the laughter was very loud. "Lord Shangshu, listen to what you just said, the Treasury will not be less than five million taels of silver, but you asked us to donate three million taels. Your hand is too black."

When he said this, someone immediately echoed, "yes, yes, the Treasury has to give more."

The cold sweat on the Secretary of the Ministry of household grew faster. "The princess of War didn't know that most of the expenditure of the Treasury was for the common people, not for the border. If the people in China have difficulties and the court can't allocate money, it's easy to cause chaos. "

"Then tell me how much money is in the Treasury and how much money is allocated to the people?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs didn't dare to say that, but all the civil and military officials looked at him. His official clothes were soaked through, and he insisted, "war, war princess, this is the secret of the country, I can't tell you."

Xia Xi nodded, "in that case, I'm not hard for you."

Hubu Shangshu breathes a sigh of relief. It's said in Beijing that Princess Zhan is a powerful role. He has seen it today. If Xia Xi doesn't give up, he really doesn't know what to do.

"The emperor."

Xia Xi's voice sounded above his head, "you know, Feng Che's salary is not much. He has been taking medicine a few years ago, and there is not much money in the house..."

"The words of Princess Zhan are different..."

Before she finished her words, she was interrupted. Jinghou came out of the list. "Who in Beijing doesn't know that Princess Zhan is very good at doing business. Let alone say that from March to May this year, your watermelon business has made more than 230000 Liang."

"It's a lot of money." Xia Xi doesn't deny it either. When she sees the successful expression on Jinghou's face, she goes on, "but we are four people's business. I just pull a line from the middle and earn a little. I don't even have twenty thousand taels of silver."

The proud look on Jinghou's face retreated.

Xia Xi added, "if Jinghou doesn't believe it, you can go to investigate and see if we are four people's business, and see if I have neither paid nor contributed."

Jinghou gritted his teeth, "even if you don't have this watermelon business, you can earn a lot in Pingyang County's restaurants."

Xia Xi pick eyebrow, "it seems that the quiet Hou is my investigation clear, even I opened a restaurant in Pingyang County know."

Static Hou almost a mouthful of old blood gushing out, her restaurant opened, wind Che called half of the officials in Beijing in the past congratulations, he can not know?

Without waiting for him to speak, Xia Xi said, "you're right. My restaurant business is really good, but Pingyang County is just a small place. It can sell ten taels of food in the capital, but it can sell two taels at most. I can't earn much except the labor cost."

"So Princess Zhan doesn't want to donate money?"

"Give, you have to give." Xia Xi's words are sonorous and forceful, "not to say that Fengche is my man, just for the sake of millions of soldiers, I also have to donate."

"How much do you donate?"

Jinghou asked.

"Eight hundred thousand taels."

When she said this, there was a sound of breathing in the Jinluan hall, and all the civil and military officials looked at her. Even an Shangshu was sweating for her. She just said that there was no money in the house, so she donated 800000 Liang at once. Isn't that a slap in the face?

"As we all know, Duke Xu of marquis Bo of the Yuan Dynasty bullied my son and paid me 300000 taels of silver in front of the emperor and 300000 taels of silver in front of marquis Bo of the Ping Dynasty. The total is 600000 taels, and the remaining 200000 taels..."

At this point, look at the emperor.

The emperor is black face that she sees, "fight princess, have a word to say."

Xia Xi salutes, "the minister's wife asks for the emperor's will."

"What will it be?"

"I want to sell the things that the Emperor gave me, and make up 200000 Liang."

When she said this, there was another breath in the hall. The emperor's reward was the highest honor. Xia Xi was going to sell it. Is this, this, this going to hit the emperor's face?
