"The minister leads the order!"
Dong Zhuo and Wei Xiaobao hurriedly said.
However, the officials were at a loss.
Site selection?
Start construction?
Your Majesty, what is this for!
"Your Majesty, I checked the treasury yesterday. There are 30 shi of grain and 420 million in money."
"However, ministers have successively sent money and grain into the warehouse. At present, there are 140 million shi of grain and more than 340 million yuan of money."
"Excuse me, I'm afraid these are far from enough."
Liu Bian let Wei Xiaobao take charge of the national treasury, so he naturally had to report these things.
and,
All entry and exit items are traceable, and he has no way to be greedy.
However, the ministers seem to understand,
Your Majesty is going to build a big project.
"His Majesty!"
"Boldly minister, may I ask what your Majesty wants to build?" Veteran Zhao Qi asked on behalf of the ministers.
Liu Bian glanced at him, and replied lightly,
"I want to build a palace outside the city, named Tongque Terrace."
Tongque Terrace?
Zhao Qi then asked, "May I ask why Your Majesty built this palace, and what is the purpose of the palace?"
Normally, Zhao Qi would not dare to ask such a direct question.
But now,
The most urgent task is to solve the scourge of the refugees and eradicate the source of the refugees.
If so many refugees are left untreated, disasters will surely arise!
Therefore, Zhao Qi could only rely on the old to sell the old, and asked questions at the risk of offending the emperor.
Liu Bian's eyes sank, "It's just a private palace."
"I'm afraid not necessarily."
Zhao Qi ignored Liu Bian's threat, and continued, "The little father-in-law just said that the treasury's more than 1000 million yuan and more than 100 million shi of grain are far from enough."
"If it's an ordinary palace, how can it cost so much money?"
Everyone reacted,
With such a huge expense, I am afraid that what the emperor wants to build is not an ordinary palace.
"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to follow the example of Tyranny and build the Afang Palace?" Chen Ji also walked out.
These old guys, when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the government, none of them dared to say a word.
Now that the emperor is in power, they are no longer afraid of death, and they look upright and unparalleled in loyalty.
"A Fang Palace?"
Hearing these three words, everyone gasped.
"Your Majesty, there are so many people in the world who can't eat enough, you shouldn't be so extravagant and wasteful."
"Building the Bronze Sparrow Terrace will only increase the burden on the people. The people in the world are really overwhelmed."
"Baoqin spent huge sums of money to build the Efang Palace, causing people's grievances to boil over. This is the way to bring disaster. Your Majesty must never do it."
"I implore Your Majesty to put the world's common people first!"
More than half of the officials bent down and prevented Liu Bian from building the Tongque Terrace.
Only Wei Xiaobao, Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo's people stood.
Liu Bian had expected that everyone would stop him,
snorted coldly,
"I don't know if building the Bronze Sparrow Terrace is a way to bring disaster."
"But I know that if anyone stops me, disaster will happen to him!"
Many officials were immediately frightened by him.
But Zhao Qi insisted on confronting him to the end today, and stepped forward,
"Your Majesty, tens of thousands of refugees are starving, but you spend a small amount of money and food on pleasure. This is not what you did."
"I can't watch Your Majesty be confused!"
Trembling, he knelt on the ground, determined to stop Liu Bian.
"Come on!"
Liu Bian yelled, making all the courtiers tremble in fright.
Everyone looked at Liu Bian in horror.
Worried that Liu Bian would kill Zhao Qi!
Zhao Qi is not Lin Yin's type. If Zhao Qi is killed, the emperor's reputation will definitely be completely stink!
Princes from all over the world will also take advantage of this reason to attack the imperial court.
"Zhao Qi is old and confused, and is no longer suitable to be an official. Arrange a chariot to take him home."
Liu Bian naturally would not kill Zhao Qi,
But it is no problem to remove him from office.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief,
But the others no longer dared to dissuade Liu Bian.
……
Chapter 57 Zhang Ning: Your Majesty You Said to Play Mahjong, I Did
Zhao Qi, a veteran of the four dynasties, was dismissed from his official position, and the opposition in the court suddenly disappeared!
When everyone felt that Liu Bian had done too much and complained in his heart,
But a pleasant voice came from Liu Bian's ear,
【Ding! 】
[The host greatly disregarded the suffering of the people and the life and death of the people, refused to accept loyal words, and dismissed loyal ministers! 】
[Reward 1000 million shi of grain and 1 million copper coins!1 high-quality iron mine (iron reserves greater than [-] million tons)]
[Copper coins and grain are directly deposited into the royal treasury, and high-quality iron ore can be selected at any suitable location within a range of three hundred miles! 】
Hearing the system's voice, Liu Bian was instantly elated.
When I was worried about lack of money and food, the system delivered it.
Get rich in no time!
With this reward, it should not be difficult to complete the task of Tongque Terrace.
"Since there is no objection anymore, Grand Master, Eunuch Wei, you two should do it immediately, the sooner the better!"
"If the construction period is delayed, you can weigh the consequences yourself."
Liu Bian said to Dong Zhuo and Wei Xiaobao again.
The backs of the two felt cold, and they said in panic, "The minister leads the order!"
"Okay, today's meeting is over here, let's go."
Liu Bian waved his hand, turned around and ran away.
Today, he has a very important thing - playing mahjong!
Baiguan shouted helplessly,
"I'm waiting to send you to Your Majesty..."
Back at Anlong Hall, Liu Bian shouted,
"Little Lianzi, are you ready for the jade I asked you to prepare?"
"Return to Your Majesty, the total is 136 yuan, and the servants have already prepared according to your instructions."
Xiao Lianzi replied respectfully,
Then they clapped their hands, and several eunuchs came in, each holding a plate in their hands.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
"The jade is selected from the finest white jade,"
"And hired the best craftsmen in Luoyang City to polish and carve. The size, weight and feel of each piece of jade are exactly the same."
Xiao Lianzi said flatteringly.
In order to build this pair of mahjong, he spent almost three thousand gold!
However, as long as His Majesty likes it, it is worth spending more money.
Mahjong was placed upside down on the plate, Liu Bian grabbed one and touched it lightly with his thumb.
Immediately nodded his head,
"It's this feeling!"
"Xiao Lianzi, you've done a good job. Go and withdraw a thousand pieces of gold, reward each craftsman with a hundred pieces of gold, and the rest is yours."
