Summoning of the Great General of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 76

Fusu was sad all night, and also thought and reflected all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Fusu went to the Tai Chi Hall with two big black circles on her head, and Meng Xi was very distressed when she saw it.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I will turn my grief into strength. Dad's last wish is still waiting for me to fulfill it. You can play with our son for a while, and I will come back to you in the next court." Fu Su told Meng Qian like this explain.

"Go up!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Everyone's family is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Today, I will formally confer the title of empress to Meng Qian, the daughter of the late Duke Protector Meng Tian." Fu Su glanced at all the ministers and said.

"Your Majesty's order is to be obeyed." A group of people held the jade wat in their hands and bowed their heads to express their no objection.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to announce." Li Hui, who was standing in the queue of civil servants on the left, came out and said.

"What's the matter, Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue is empty." Li Hui said, spreading his hands and looking at Fusu with blank eyes, as if to say: Pay the money quickly, and the labor and management will stop working if you don't pay the money.

"So fast?" Fusu didn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, you need to know how many imperial edicts you have issued and how many policies you have issued in the past two months, and how many projects the court has to construct. Which one of these is not the main source of money? The salaries of your colleagues last month It hasn’t been sent yet, and..." Li Hui began to set up the dragon gate array for Fusu.

"Aiqing, do you have a solution?" Fusu knew that he was in a hurry, and he thought about eating to become a fat man, but he tucked it away before eating a few mouthfuls. So many projects will not be completed overnight. Ah, but if the word is released again, if it cannot be completed in time, it will cause a huge blow to the credibility of the imperial court in the hearts of the people, and he is now riding a tiger.

"No." All the ministers whispered to each other, what to do if you don't have money, maybe I will change money for you.

"Your Majesty, in fact, it is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. First, reduce the various expenditures of the court and invest all the saved money in education and medical care, etc., and then find ways to make money, such as increasing the court tax. I am willing to take the lead in donating a year's worth of money." The salary will help the court tide over this difficulty!" Wei Zheng said with a righteous face.

"The ministers are also willing!" Immediately, everyone in the hall was tinkering.

"En," Fusu nodded, "But everyone, what Wei Qing said is correct in increasing revenue and reducing expenditure and saving expenses, but increasing taxes is not advisable. Why do we spend money? It is to reduce the burden of life for the people. Instead, it raised taxes."

"Sir, you understand."

"How about this, Shanchang, you can draw up an edict. From today onwards, all expenses in the palace will be halved. I only need to eat three dishes and one soup every day. In addition, I will save the palace expenses for three months from the internal funds. The rest will be sent to the treasury." Fusu said with heartache.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone praised.

"By the way," Fu Su thought for a while and added, "You and Chen Qun will stay for a while, and help me to see what antiques and treasures are in this Efang Palace, and they are all sold after registration. , All the money is also included in the national treasury.”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not good." Li Shanchang thought he was deaf, and all the ministers also thought he was deaf.

"There is nothing bad, everything is for the people of Qin." Fusu sighed as he looked worried about the country and the people.

"In that case," Feng Jie gritted his teeth and stamped his feet after hearing this and stood up, as if he had made a decision: "Your Majesty, I am willing to donate all the money in the family to help your Majesty!"

"Wei Chen is also willing!"

Zhang Liang, the Second Assistant to the Empire, Li Ru, the Deputy Governor of the Kowloon Governor's Office, and Yang Ye followed closely behind. In the end, all the ministers expressed their support for His Majesty's blessings and hardships.

"Okay, let the monarch and ministers be of the same heart, have porridge to drink porridge, have rice to eat, and create a prosperous world for the people of Daqin!" Seeing that the ministers donated their family properties to support him, Fusu was very moved.

In fact, Fusu didn't necessarily need the ministers to sell his family property with him. The treasures of Efang Palace alone were enough to support Daqin's financial expenditure for several years.He did this not to isolate himself and the ministers, but to let the ministers stand on the same front as him, to cultivate a sense of national honor and unity. Of course, Fusu would not treat them badly, at least in terms of food.

He decided to build a canteen in Afang Palace so that ministers could come directly to the palace to have breakfast together when they went to court. They could also have lunch and dinner during the day when they were working in the eight cabinet departments, so that they would not go hungry, and they would still be able to eat overtime if they worked overtime. Have a late night snack.

Afterwards, each person made a pledge and registered one by one according to the actual situation of their own family.

When the court came down, Li Shanchang, Mi Zhu, and Li Hui followed Fusu into the inner palace, each with a bamboo slip and a pen to register the rare treasures left by Qin Shihuang.

"Honey, here you are, the imperial edict for your appointment as queen." Fusu walked into the Qianqing Palace and handed the imperial edict in his hand to Meng Qian: "From now on, you will be the queen of Great Qin."

"Husband, in fact, I have been looking down on the palace for more than two years. The safety of the family of three is the most important, but no matter what you do, I will always support you." Meng Qian gave Fusu a firm look. .

"Wei Zheng, what are you doing!" Just after Meng Qian finished speaking, she found that Wei Zheng came in with a pen and paper to draw pictures, and after a while, she actually picked up a piece of red coral and broke it, and she was so distressed that she died.

"Wei Zheng, take it easy." Fu Su glanced at him and said to Meng Qian, "Honey, the household department is out of money, but Xianyang has just been demolished and a few primary hospitals have not been built. The things were taken out and sold to subsidize the national treasury, you don’t know that Wei Aiqing donated his old mother’s coffin.”

"Really?"

"I can't lie to my daughter-in-law if I lie to anyone." Fu Su said while looking at Meng Qian tenderly.

"Husband, wait." Mengxi turned and ran out.

"Why are you going?"

"You will know when you come back."

After a while, soldiers from No. 50 Yu Linwei came in carrying more than 20 boxes of heavy things under the leadership of Hua Xiong.

"It's done!" Mengxi rubbed her hands and said contentedly.

"What are these? Why are they still locked?" Fusu asked, pointing to the box.

"The dowry, my father left it to me."

"Meng Tian?"

"Father-in-law!" Meng Qian was a little annoyed, although she traveled with Fu Su, but unlike Fu Su who had never received the love of Qin Shihuang's father, Meng Tian treated her very well and was a very competent father.

"Okay, let's take a look then?"

"Okay."

"Your Majesty, I'm going to open it." Hua Xiong said.

"Open it as you like, ink blots or something."

Only hearing the sound of the copper lock colliding with the ground, everyone looked into the box one by one,
Then, looking at the things inside, Fusu and his little friends were stunned!
