It's just that these three parties have their own troubles. Wang Yue's side is going to fight for the earthquake disaster, and Liu Xingzhi's side is occupying most of Jingzhou at once. Arguing with the local aristocratic families is really exhausting energy.

But these two things are not big. After all, Wang Yue is good at manufacturing machinery, and he has contributed the magic weapon of cement. Whether it is drilling wells or repairing rivers, it is much faster than before.

As for Liu Xingzhi, to put it bluntly, it is to strive for the support of the local aristocratic families. As Liu Xingzhi's control lasts longer, those aristocratic families will definitely reach an agreement with Liu Xingzhi under Bingfeng.

But Fan Xuan was in trouble. Although he became the ruler of Zhongzhou and became the emperor, Luoyang, the eastern capital, was full of ex-dynasties, and even the original treasury was able to live with rats.

But Fan Xuan and the others originally came from Youzhou, and now they were cut off by Wang Yue. They not only faced appeasing the old ministers of the former dynasty, but also rewarded the soldiers who followed them from Youzhou.

Fortunately, Youzhou is now in Gu Jiusi's hands, although Wang Yue isolated it, at least it won't cause panic.

It's just 10,000+ soldiers and horses, and they must have money and food to appease them, but Fan Xuan has no money now, and there is no next Gu Jiusi to donate money. He has to find a way by himself.

Therefore, Fan Xuan asked Lu Yong, Minister of the Household Department, to arrange enough money and food for the army at this great court meeting.

Lu Yong immediately threw the pot away, and said in a very righteous way, "The rebel king Liang once controlled the household department for more than ten years. He was greedy for money, food and taxes, and used it to train his own soldiers and horses, resulting in a serious loss of treasury money. Coupled with the continuous drought and flood natural disasters, the treasury is empty, and there is really no money to come out."

Seeing what he said, Fan Xuan said very sternly to Fan, "I know what you said, but the soldiers in the front are still fighting. If you can't get the money, what do you let the soldiers in the front eat and drink temporarily?"

Hearing this, Lu Yong quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty's lesson is that the salary of eating the king can't share the worries of your majesty. I am ashamed of myself. Wei Chen is willing to reduce half of his salary. Although it is a drop in the bucket, it can eat more for the soldiers in the front." A piece of steamed bun is also good."

After he finished speaking, several ministers immediately agreed, and they were all willing to donate some salaries, making this grand court meeting look like a fundraiser.

Yesterday, Zhou Ye was summoned by Fan Xuan to the palace to explain today's plan. Although he knew that he would offend everyone in the court if he just opened his mouth, but even his stepfather wrote to tell him to do so. He really has nothing to do.

So, with a cold face, he still said needlessly, "Since there is no money in the treasury, it was caused by corruption in the previous dynasty. If we can recover the treasury money, wouldn't there be enough money and food? So my humble minister I think that we should check the accounts and find out where every expense goes, so as to solve the fundamental problem, otherwise there will be those corrupt people, no matter how much money there is, they will not be greedy."

Fan Xuan nodded quickly after hearing this, and still agreed with him and said, "Zhou Ye, you are right, since you made this opinion, why don't you investigate this case."

At this time, Fan Yu who was standing beside the jade table suddenly said, "Father, son, I am willing to accept this matter."

Fan Xuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his son to come out to make trouble suddenly, so he asked with some doubts, "Yu'er, what do you mean?"

Fan Yu smiled all over his face, and said sincerely, "As the crown prince, no one is more suitable for this matter than this minister. I am willing to share the worries of my father."

Fan Xuan was very happy to see his son grow up suddenly, but he also knew that it was not the prince's job to deal with those former officials.

Therefore, he could only quickly stop Fan Yu from continuing, but said very seriously, "Yu'er, you are still inexperienced, so let's step down for now! Let Zhou Ye do the checking of the items, here you are." Give him a satisfactory answer in half a month."

Seeing that Fan Xuan had made up his mind, Zhou Ye could only bite the bullet and agree, but when he went to investigate, he found that the household department did not cooperate at all.

Fortunately, he had been mentally prepared for a long time. After hitting a wall several times in a row, he still easily found out a shortfall of more than 500 million taels.

When Fan Xuan heard that there was so much silver, if they could get it back, it would be enough for them to deal with Liu Xingzhi. As long as he could defeat Liu Xingzhi and control Yongliang Jingzhou, then he would not worry about taxation.

As long as he controls these territories, it proves that he has every chance of defeating Liu Xingzhi, and those aristocratic families will follow suit. Money and food are only a small problem for these aristocratic families.

After all, once Wang Yue is relieved, the unlucky ones will be those aristocratic families. You must know that there is a nursery rhyme in the room now,
Welcome the king of Qi, look forward to the king of Qi, when the king of Qi comes, pay less food, divide the land, and pay taxes equally, the rich and powerful families are heartbroken.

Listen to this slogan, who will divide the land?It must belong to the aristocratic family, after all, most of the land is in their hands, and there are very few lands in the hands of ordinary people.

Isn't equal taxation the flesh of the aristocratic family?They didn't have to pay rations at first, but after King Qi came, they also needed to pay rations, which made them reconciled.

Those aristocratic families and noble families within Wang Yue's control area are living examples. The land here has been handed over. Although they have been exempted from taxes for several years, they will still have to pay money one day.

Therefore, Fan Xuan is very confident that as long as he can defeat Liu Xingzhi, he will have the strength to fight Wang Yue, and the world will definitely still belong to his Great Xia Dynasty.

So, he said very excitedly, "Zhou Ye, since this is the case, if you don't bother the two masters with one thing, then I will leave the matter of recovering the dirty money to you."

Zhou Ye was very speechless, he knew that this was not a good job, it was equivalent to offending those old ministers at once, and it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the court.

Besides, this country belongs to the Fan family, and this kind of task can be entrusted to the relatives of the Fan family.

It's just that he can't shirk it now, so he can only bite the bullet and agree.

……

Wang Yue knew the news because of the spies he sent to inquire about it. When he saw this situation, he didn't know what to say.

What made him even more speechless was that the emperor actually agreed to the queen mother's proposal to marry the eldest princess to Zhou Ye.

Wang Yue was dealing with official documents at the moment, when he saw the news, he cursed secretly, and then threw out the secret letter in his hand.

The direction Wang Yue threw was originally the brazier, but just at this moment, the door was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind blew in from the outside, blowing the letter to the edge of the brazier.

The one who came in was the heroic Ye Yun'er. She was looking for Wang Yue for something, but he never asked Wang Yue for anything, so he hesitated and looked around, but never looked at Wang Yue.

Because of this, Ye Yun'er happened to see the letter, she clicked on what she wanted to say, walked two steps quickly, and before the letter landed, she lifted the letter lightly with her toe. come up.

Wang Yue shook his head helplessly when he saw this dexterous movement like a rabbit. When this little girl first met, although she was a bit savage, she was still a typical classical beauty.

But since learning martial arts, it's like a different person, especially after practicing lightness kung fu. Although she can't fly temporarily due to lack of internal strength, it doesn't prevent Ye Yun'er from being as light as a swallow now, and entering Wang Yue's life. The study is broken into.

What was different from her was the other three women in the courtyard. After Liu Yuru learned martial arts, she didn't bother to learn Qinggong at all. Since Wang Yue learned slow Tai Chi here, she refused to learn any more.

And Cui Shi is lazier than Liu Yuru, or because of the influence of her family education, she didn't even practice the Yi Jin Jing taught by Wang Yue.

Yin Hong was the same as Ye Yun'er. After they learned martial arts, they often competed with each other. The only difference was that Yin Hong never showed his martial arts at all when he was practicing martial arts.

Because of this, everyone in Wang Yue's mansion knew Ye Yun'er's good swordsmanship, but they didn't know about other women's martial arts.

……

Just when Wang Yue was depressed because he taught a lady badly, Ye Yun'er said in surprise, "Hey, this week's second child is very lucky! However, this time Gu's third is a little embarrassed. If Zhou If Er agrees, it will be equivalent to marrying Gu Lao San's ex-wife in disguise."

Wang Yue was very speechless, so he interrupted decisively, "Don't talk nonsense, the third child didn't agree at all back then, it's not too embarrassing, you should talk about what you are here for, I don't believe you will be fine Find me."

Seeing what Wang Yue said, Ye Yun'er also knew Wang Yue's temper, so she hurriedly said, "That's right, my brother is not young anymore, and my mother wants to arrange a marriage for him, but he has been busy because of business. Busy evasion, my mother wants me to beg you, get my brother closer, if she likes her, she can find a chance for my brother to meet."

In fact, Wang Yue also felt that his uncle was quite speechless. When he first arranged an official position for the Ye family, this uncle might have gone away on purpose because he was afraid that Wang Yue would misunderstand him.

When Wang Yue was in Langya, Ye Shi'an went to Bohai County to help Wang Yue manage the refugees.Later, the governor of Xuzhou took refuge, and Ye Shian went to Xuzhou to help Wang Yue equalize the land tax there.Later, Wang Yue took Yanzhou, and Ye Shian went there to help manage the Yellow River.

Moreover, Ye Shi'an went to these places, and his political achievements were very good. He himself was born in a Qingliu family, so he could easily appease those big families and saved Wang Yue a lot of trouble.

Speaking of which, even though this uncle avoids me, he can do a lot of great things for him, so he really should be promoted.

Thinking that there may be more and more things in the future, Wang Yue's son has just been born now, and if he wants to wait for the child to come out, it will take at least ten years.

As soon as he rolled his eyes, he thought of the carpenter emperor of Ming Dynasty. This emperor did not go to the court all year round, but the court was still operating normally. It seemed that he could learn from it.

Wang Yue thought that he could take the opportunity to let Ye Shi'an form a small cabinet, but it could only manage government affairs, military affairs still had to go to the military department, and there was a separate department for finance.

Military affairs and finances are managed by him personally, and government affairs can be handled by the cabinet and then handed over to Wang Yue for management.

After the plan was made, he comforted Ye Yun'er and said, "Okay, no problem."

Ye Yun'er was planning to unlock a few more poses for Wang Yue to agree to. After all, she is already familiar with the Yi Jin Jing, and she can easily do Wang Yue's strange movements.

As a result, Wang Yue agreed so easily, Ye Yun'er asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Seeing this girl, Wang Yue didn't believe himself, so he flicked Ye Yun'er's forehead with his finger, and then said angrily, "Of course it's true, don't worry, I'll give your brother to you right away." Call back."

Ye Yun'er saw that Wang Yue was so straightforward, so she worked very hard that night without Wang Yue's request.

It was not long before Ye Shian came back, and she realized that she was too happy too soon.

Because of course it is impossible for Wang Yue to form a small cabinet, he just found a few reliable people, led by Ye Shian, to help Wang Yue handle the government affairs first, and then hand over to him if he is really undecided.

Therefore, although Ye Shi'an returned to Langya, he was so busy all day long that he didn't go home at all. Even if he returned home, he would be busy until midnight, and he didn't have time to see any girls at all.

Therefore, Ye Yuner was summoned back by her natal mother, and soon found Wang Yue again. She didn't beg Wang Yue to reduce Ye Shian's tasks, but just begged Wang Yue to give Ye Shian a release. One day off, in Ye Yun'er's words, her brother has not had a rest for more than 80 days!

Wang Yue was also very speechless, he had never made Ye Shian so diligent, he often reminded Ye Shian to combine work with rest.

However, maybe he gave too much power, Ye Shi'an actually had a feeling that he would die for his confidant, and he didn't want to live up to Wang Yue's trust, so he worked desperately.

Thinking of this, Wang Yue rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Yun'er, why don't we hold a talent show for my brother-in-law."

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Ye Yun'er was very happy at first, but immediately became vigilant, and she said fiercely, "You don't want to choose beautiful women for my brother's idea, do you? "

Wang Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he quickly explained, "I really don't have that idea, but we don't have any women in Langya now, which is definitely suitable for Uncle Ye, so it's better to let the wind out and say that Qingzhou is going to draft for Ye Shi'an , so many people will come, and it will probably allow the uncle to choose a woman who suits his heart."

After Ye Yun'er heard Wang Yue's words, she didn't doubt Wang Yue's purpose, but felt that Wang Yue might have other deep meanings, and she was worried that his brother still had Liu Yuru in his heart.

She thinks this is also very good, as long as she can find a suitable wife for her brother, it will not only make Wang Yue completely at ease, but also prevent her from being harassed by her mother.

Thinking of this, Ye Yun'er nodded quickly, expressing that she would discuss with Liu Yuru and plan to hold a blind date meeting according to Wang Yue's idea.
