Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

Autumn rain, it rains as soon as it is said.

It has been rainy for days, and the capital city has been shrouded in haze.

Ever since Li Changshou set up an imperial book platform, he has left many major government affairs to the prime minister and others to deal with them first, so that he can spare time to hide in the harem and ignore the government affairs.

Of course, it's not completely ignored, and occasionally there are some decisions that require him to nod.

A group of ministers in Yushutai did not dare to make claims easily.

Just like now, in the imperial palace, the prime minister and others entered the palace to ask for an audience, obviously they had something to present.

"Your Majesty, the veteran tax collector has ordered someone to make a rough count this autumn, and I hope His Majesty will take a look at it."

The prime minister brought a large stack of account books into the palace, and Li Changshou felt his blood pressure rise when he looked at the book that could at least be rolled into a hill with a small cart.

There is no electronic statistics in this era, all are paper ledgers, wouldn't it take a lot of time for him to go through them one by one?

"Well, how is the harvest in various places this year?"

The Dagan Dynasty is no different from the previous dynasties. It still belongs to the era of farming civilization. Most of the tax revenue of the entire court comes from agriculture and food. Of course, the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River have developed commerce, so apart from the grain harvest, the industrial and commercial taxes are also extremely high. Not bad.

"Your Majesty, in the first half of this year, natural disasters continued throughout the country, so the harvest was not very good."

The prime minister smiled wryly. Since ancient times, natural disasters and man-made disasters have been the main factors that directly lead to the court's taxation, and this year happened to happen at the same time.

Natural disasters continued in various places, coupled with the rebellion of the prince and the rebellion of the Jiedu Envoy, after several tosses, it is indeed not very good on the books.

"According to the judgment of the old minister and others in the past few days, the number will be about [-]% lower than in previous years by the end of this year, and there are several areas that need the government to allocate funds for disaster relief."

In previous years, whenever there was a natural disaster and no crops were harvested, the imperial court had to take action to relieve the disaster. Otherwise, a large number of refugees would flee randomly, and there might be chaos.

Therefore, disaster relief is inevitable, but the prime minister did not bring good news. When referring to the disaster situation, he finally smiled and said, "However, your majesty is enthroned, and God blesses you. Now the disaster situation in various places has stabilized. As long as the previous Next year will be a bumper year for disaster control."

The crops on the field cannot be produced overnight. Nowadays, there is no technology and hard work, so it takes time.

Even if Li Changshou's own halo will make the country and the people safe and sound in the territory he governs, it will take time to settle.

"I see, the matter of disaster relief depends on the Prime Minister, who is more appropriate to handle it?"

Since ancient times, there have been tricks behind disaster relief. Eating buckles and secretly embezzling disaster relief silver and food has never been repeated repeatedly, as if it has become an open secret in all dynasties.

Li Changshou even remembered a famous TV series he watched in his previous life, in which one of the most famous corrupt officials in history said so.

"Save the people, save the officials first! Who can save the people even if the officials can't save them?"

These words made people want to slash this corrupt official with a single knife, but after careful consideration, it was not without reason.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish!
"Your Majesty, according to the old minister's humble opinion, Mr. Fang can be fully responsible for the disaster relief."

What is the elder of the four dynasties?
Who can stand firm in the court, under the environment of one emperor and one courtier, through four generations of emperors, they have always stood firm?

The old prime minister has fully proved with his actions and wisdom why he can become an evergreen tree and never fall down in the court.

"Who?"

Li Changshou was taken aback for a moment, but didn't react for a while.

"Your Majesty, the veteran recommended Fang Chen, and Mr. Fang will be in charge of this disaster relief."

The prime minister smiled so hard that he couldn't see his real thoughts at all. Of course, this old guy's loyalty to the court was unquestionable, but Li Changshou also realized it all at once, this old guy is really a chicken thief!

He flattered him without making a fuss, and it made him very comfortable.

Fang Chen, that's his advantage.

It's no secret that he canonized Fang Rou as Zhaoyi, one of the nine concubines.

All civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty already knew that Fang Rou came from the Fang family, and was Fang Chen's own aunt!

Not to mention, Fang Chen's mother-in-law was also in the harem, and like Fang Rou, she was one of the nine concubines and was conferred the title of Zhaoyuan.

It is equivalent to the fact that the Fang family has suddenly risen with the nepotism of the two empresses in the harem, and has jumped from a local family to the most popular family in the Daqian Dynasty.

An old fox like the prime minister knows how to sell favors.

"Fang Chen? This kid is an expert in this field. When I was in Jiangdong, I left many things to him."

Li Changshou glanced at the prime minister meaningfully, and the latter also smiled slightly. The tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers was fully verified at this moment.

"Forget it, let Fang Chen handle the disaster relief."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The prime minister hurriedly flattered, anyway, anyone can go for the disaster relief, as long as the work can be done, how much is embezzled in the middle is another matter.

Besides, if something happened, it was also Li Changshou's family affair.

The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, and then you can completely stay out of it.

From this point, we can see the prime minister's sophistication and cunning.

"Guan Peng!"

"Chen is here!"

"You are responsible for the secret supervision. If Fang Chen mishandles, I promise you to do things cheaply!"

Li Changshou's cronyism does not mean that he is confused. Fang Chen is his big brother, so he can handle any fat jobs.

but!

You can't go too far, otherwise, not to mention it's just cheap and big, even your own son will have to settle accounts clearly.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Guan Peng took the order, and he knew the stakes. As for how to deal with me by this scale, Guan Peng had to figure it out by himself.

Of course, Li Changshou also believed that Guan Peng should know how to judge with his wit and intelligence.

With a lot of accounts in front of him, Li Changshou casually picked up one and looked through it. To be honest, he was just lazy or not stupid, and he could probably estimate the tax situation of the imperial court this year.

In previous years, the annual tax revenue of the imperial court was about 400 million yuan or more.

If the harvest is better and the weather is smooth and the harvest is good throughout the year, it may double, but no matter what, it is impossible to reach 1000 million.

But this year, due to natural and man-made disasters, there must be something lacking.

"System, can you directly predict the annual tax revenue?"

【Ding!Advance simulation calculation deducts 100 system points]

Li Changshou: "..."

system!You old six!

Really thinking about tricking him to get points all the time!

【Ding!According to the strict calculation of the system, the Daqian Dynasty can obtain about 500 million yuan in taxes at the end of the year, and the actual data deviation does not exceed 10%]

"Huh? Around 500 million? Isn't this a little higher than in previous years?"

This conclusion surprised Li Changshou a bit. He was well prepared, and it was enough to collect taxes of 200 million at the end of the year.

If it really doesn't work, just exchange it from the system and throw it into the imperial treasury. Anyway, it doesn't take much to exchange points for gold and silver.

Who would have thought that the result would be much better than he expected.

【Ding!The calculation result is based on the current specific situation of the host, based on rigorous calculations, taking into account the host's luck value and the blessing effect possessed by the host]

Well, that is to say, there is no need to wait for the next year, and soon everyone in the world will know what is meant by the Son of the Dragon of Destiny.

As soon as he ascended the throne, all aspects of the harvest immediately improved, the weather was smooth, and the people settled down?

"Your Majesty, the governor of Yanzhou has sent an urgent report. The military situation at the border is urgent, and the imperial court needs to send reinforcements."

After the Prime Minister, the Minister of the Ministry of War also followed up, "The ministers and others have discussed in advance that more than [-] troops will be sent to Mobei this time. Although several checkpoints at the Yanzhou border have not been breached, the major general who is short of troops will go to Yanzhou to make his own decision and give up. Pass the first and second checkpoints, retreat for seventy miles, and strictly guard against death at the third checkpoint."

"How's the battle going?"

"Now the governor of Yanzhou only has [-] soldiers and horses, even if he takes advantage of the city defense, he won't be able to hold on for long. Therefore, the ministers and others discussed the need to send additional reinforcements as soon as possible. I hope His Majesty will issue an order immediately!"

Li Changshou knew about the emergency at the border, and he even knew a secret that no one else knew.

That is Shannan Jiedu envoy Guo Peng, who has been secretly in touch with those people in Mobei. This time Mobei sent troops to the south, it is also directly related to Guo Peng.

"According to my decree, I ordered the Jiedu Envoy of Hedong, and the Jiedu Envoy of Shuofang to send troops to help, there must be no mistake!"

"promise!"

The two Jiedu envoys closest to the Yanzhou border each have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in their hands. Of course, the appearance of the Jiedu envoys itself is to mobilize soldiers and horses as quickly as possible in case of war.

It's just that after decades of development, many Jiedu envoys have faintly become local princes who do not listen to orders, and they have obediently obeyed the imperial court's decrees.

This time when he ascended the throne as emperor, he just wanted to clean up the gang of Jiedu envoys one by one.

As for the Yanzhou border, he was not worried at all. From the news from Wang Gonggong, it can be seen that Mobei's attack was just a feint, and the purpose was to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and Guo Peng was saved from fire and water.

Once Huo Wei leads the troops to rescue Yanzhou, Guo Peng will immediately attack back and forth.

In addition, people like Chaotang didn't even know that Mobei's influence had never been let go.

"There are still too few soldiers and horses under the direct control of the court, and the plan of the Shence Army has to be accelerated."

Before he ascended the throne, the total number of troops in the Dagan Dynasty was probably as many as one million, but among them, there were more than [-] directly under the jurisdiction of the court, and most of them were in the hands of border generals and more than a dozen Jiedu envoys. .

And most of these Jiedu envoys are not pure-bred Central Plains people, and many of them are even from the surrounding foreign countries.

He didn't understand how big Emperor Qianming's heart was, and how he could help these people out.

"Zuo Zhixiong."

"Chen is here!"

"What I told you before, finish it as soon as possible. If you have any difficulties, you can directly come to me to solve it. I only have one request, fast! Faster! Rebuild the Forbidden Army and the Imperial Forest Army in the shortest time!"

Right now there are more than 6 soldiers and horses in the capital, of course only 4 of them are elite, brought by him from Jiangdong.

The other 2 people who claim to be elite are actually not enough to watch.

And Li Changshou's request was for Zuo Zhixiong to expand his troops to 10 in the shortest possible time, and to reach the level of Jiangdong's elite.

Having once experienced military training, Zuo Zhixiong directly surrendered, "I will live up to your Majesty's trust!"

In the past month, he has already recruited enough soldiers, and the rest is training and getting familiar with the road.

……

Back in the harem, Li Changshou stepped forward and hugged him directly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there are still people here..."

It turned out that after more than two months, Gu Xiaoya finally returned to Li Changshou's side. This time she returned to the capital from Yanzhou, but she missed Li Changshou to death.

"It's all my family, what are you afraid of!"

Li Changshou didn't care about it at all, and took a deep sniff. Of course there were other people in the room, but Lin Luoxi and the girls knew it well, and they all blushed and spat lightly.

"Concubine itches~"

Gu Xiaoya couldn't laugh or cry, but she was sweet in her heart. She also heard that her son had been named the Duke of the State and the General of the Fu State, and even served as the Minister of Dali Temple in an important position.

This result was completely beyond her expectations, after all, such a mighty kindness of the emperor can no longer be described as Aiwujiwu.

It was as if he was treating his own son, except for not being named prince, he gave everything he could.

"Where is Zhaojun? Why didn't you go back to Beijing with you?"

Li Changshou kissed a few times indiscriminately, and then realized that only Gu Xiaoya came back, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
