Chapter 523 Indignant

Don't say that expanding the capital city will definitely cost a lot of money. Even if the national treasury was in its heyday, if you want to expand the imperial capital, you have to think about it again. The provincial treasury is short of money. People take it for pleasure, how many people care about the life and death of the bottom people?
Therefore, Mr. Jin Yuan was sure that her proposal would never cause any splashes in such a corrupt court.

On this day, Jin Yuanjun put forward his proposal in court, but it was rejected on the spot.

Adhering to the principle of doing a full set of plays, Jin Yuanjun naturally argued with reason, but was rejected by the Queen Mother again.

"There is no need for the female prime minister to say any more. Although the refugees outside the city are now homeless, the national treasury is in short supply. It is really not the time to expand the capital. Expanding the capital will consume too much manpower and financial resources. Hasn't the female prime minister thought about it? Aijia People will be asked to expel the refugees outside the city to avoid riots." Tai Gouxue sat behind the curtain and said such cold and ruthless words very easily, as if what she was asking people to deal with was not thousands of human lives, but It's just some trash that can't be put on the table.

However, if the Queen Mother said such words, none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty felt that there was a problem, and everyone thought that the Queen Mother's actions were very normal.

In the past three years, the imperial court, which was originally precarious, has become more and more precarious and corrupt under the rule of the queen mother. Can't help but despise her.

However, the queen mother's reaction is also in Jin Yuanjun's plan. If the queen mother agrees, it will be difficult for Jin Yuanjun to implement his plan.

Therefore, on the surface, Mr. Jin Yuan put on an indignant look, and said to the Queen Mother: "My Majesty, famine is happening everywhere now. This is a natural disaster, and the people really have nothing to do. Staying in your own home, who wants to live without a fixed place and wander? Please think again, Your Majesty!"

The Queen Mother and Jin Yuanjun have always been at odds with each other. Even after three years, Jin Yuanjun is no longer a threat to the Queen Mother. However, the Queen Mother still suppresses Jin Yuanjun in the court. After all, Jin Yuanjun has nothing to do with it now. No, so what if people outside praised her highly?

Therefore, the Queen Mother is very happy to see Jin Yuanjun's deflated appearance. Now that Jin Yuanjun is not fair, she is happy, and she said coldly: "My lady, you can understand your intentions for the country and the people, but, Now we have to look at the situation clearly and do what we can! Otherwise, we can only drag tens of millions of people in the capital into the sea of ​​suffering! How can you bear the responsibility for such crimes!"

"I don't mean that, it's just..." Mr. Jin Yuan knew that the queen mother could not agree, but she still had to do it, so she put on a superficial performance.

"Okay, don't say any more. This matter has been revealed and you are not allowed to mention it again in the future." The Queen Mother interrupted Jin Yuanjun's words, and then said to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "I love you, do you have anything important to report?"

Afterwards, a few officials came forward one after another, reported some insignificant matters, and said a few words of nonsense, but Jin Yuanjun was completely ignored by the queen mother, who was not even willing to give her alms from the corner of her eye .

Jin Yuanjun glanced at the little emperor sitting on the dragon chair, a mocking glint flashed in his eyes, now let you be proud first, but I don't know how long you can be so arrogant!
After that day, rumors came out one after another, saying that the girl had played to the imperial court, and the matter of expanding the capital was rejected in public.

That is to say, what the female prime minister said was to expand the capital so that the refugees would not have a fixed place to live, but now it has come to naught and cannot be realized.

Originally, these homeless disaster victims ran to the Imperial Capital, and because of the promise of a woman, their dark life finally had a little hope. Who knows, now it is another blow, allowing them to draw a beautiful blueprint in their hearts in an instant. It turns into a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water.

It gives people hope, but also makes people fall into deeper despair.

If the refugees had not been informed of the proposal to expand the imperial capital, perhaps the refugees would not be so disappointed and angry when they learned the result today. However, Mr. Jin Yuan told these people one step ahead of time and outlined a very beautiful future for them.

However, today, they shattered their fantasy with cruel reality, and no one can accept this fact.

Therefore, when the people learned that the suggestions made by the female prime minister to the court were rejected on the spot, they became angry and even held a parade in the streets to protest.

However, how could these officials feel the difficulties and pains of these people first-hand, so the cries and protests of the people at the bottom were all suppressed by the people above.

The common people were very angry, but in the face of the power, they were also very helpless and had no power to fight back.

Seeing that things had almost developed to the point he wanted, Jin Yuanjun finally showed up again.

On this day, the porridge shed at the gate of the city was still set up to give out porridge to the refugees. The appearance of Mr. Jin Yuan attracted everyone's attention. When people saw Mr. Jin Yuan, they were very excited, even excited.

It's just because she brought hope to everyone, but now everyone is very at a loss in the face of an unpredictable future, "Master, you have agreed to expand the capital! What's going on now? ?!"

"Yes! Sir! Are you playing tricks on us common people? Now we don't even have a place to stay, what do you think we should do!"

"My lord! You can't ignore us! If you ignore us, we will really die in this capital." Seeing the appearance of Jin Yuanjun, these people asked Jin Yuan one by one. Yuan Jun's countermeasures caused the scene to become a mess.

"Everyone, please calm down. There is really no other way. I will report to the emperor. Who knows... Alas, now that the imperial treasury is in short supply, it is really time-consuming and labor-intensive to spend money to expand the capital. , please forgive me..." Jin Yuanjun said.

"Forgive?! We forgive you, so who is going to forgive us! My lord, you told us yourself before, but now you have to go back on your word, so you don't have to be responsible for what you said!" In the crowd, I don't know who it is Shouting such a mouth immediately aroused everyone's agreement, and everyone was very angry. Looking at Jin Yuanjun, they wanted to ask for an explanation.

"Silence, silence!" The female officer next to Jin Yuanjun wanted to maintain order several times, but these people didn't listen to her, and now they are almost dead, so what are they afraid of.

As the saying goes, those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes, they simply smashed the cans and smashed them, and they died on both sides.

The people suddenly became excited, rushed forward and back, and saw that the porridge shed was about to be torn down.
