Da Bong fights more people

Spending money on charcoal and cotton-padded clothes means that there is no money to buy rice.

Many poor people failed to survive this winter, and countless people suffered from hunger and cold.

One after another, the imperial court received papers from various local governments, which described the horror of the disaster as "no household left in ten villages".

The Prime Minister of Dali Temple immediately came out and bowed:

"Your Majesty, you can ask the Ministry of Households to mobilize money and food for disaster relief. The people lack clothing and food and cannot survive the winter. It will definitely turn into refugees and bring disaster to all states. .

"People who have been looted by refugees will also become refugees. If the disaster cannot be quelled as soon as possible, there may be serious disasters."

Before Emperor Yongxing could speak, the Minister of the Household Department came out in panic and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, and there is really no extra money and food for disaster relief. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Every year, the time of disaster relief is a storm that shakes the official hat for him, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

Sure enough, the household department quickly stood up to make up for the incident:

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Minister of the Household Department for using power for personal gain, corrupting the law, and sucking the bone marrow of the imperial court with his followers, so that the treasury will be empty."

Hubu Shangshu knelt down and said loudly: "I beg for the bones!"

The corner of Emperor Yongxing's mouth twitched violently, and he looked down at the ministers expressionlessly.

Partisanship!

To this day, there is still a party struggle!

It is you, the scholars who only know how to fight in the nest, and united with the late emperor, to bring the people who have been harmed by the disaster to a miserable existence... Emperor Yongxing tightly clenched his hands in his sleeves, and said with a gentle smile:

"As I said yesterday, the disaster is serious. The whole court should be united as the monarch and ministers to discuss countermeasures together. Please calm down, dear friends."

Hubu Shangshu and others immediately silenced the flags and drums.

Emperor Yongxing nodded in satisfaction, and said in a loud voice, "How are the charity warehouses in various places?"

Hubu Shangshu said: "All warehouses have been opened for disaster relief. It's just that during the autumn harvest, the imperial court fought with the Witch God Cult, and their vitality was seriously injured. The food and grass were collected from various places that day. Therefore, there is not enough food in the charity warehouses in various places."

Emperor Yongxing thought for a while and said, "What about the official warehouse?"

After the words fell, all the princes in the hall looked at each other in dismay, and Liu Hong, the censor of the right capital, came out and said:

"Your Majesty can't. If you want to stabilize the situation in various places and let the subordinates and officials act normally, the official warehouse cannot be moved."

Yicang is specially used for disaster relief in famine years.

Guancang is to distribute salaries to officials.

If the official position is moved, if the imperial court cannot pay the salary, then the world will be in chaos.

Emperor Yongxing's face darkened: "Then what good strategy does Liu Aiqing have?"

Liu Hong pondered and said: "The northern monsters still owe the imperial court countless furs, salt, and iron ore. Your Majesty can send envoys to the northern border to ask for them."

Emperor Yongxing's eyes lit up, and the princes below were also discussing, but Wang Shoufu walked out of the formation, bowed and said:

"This is impossible!"

The princes immediately retorted:

"Why not?"

"I think Mr. Liu's plan is very clever."

"Yes, there are herds of monster cattle and sheep, with countless furs, which can just keep out the cold and solve the urgent needs of the court."

Wang Shoufu waited patiently for the princes to finish speaking before continuing:

"The affidavit was drawn up on that day, and Xu Nian, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, held the pen, and the minister personally supervised it. It was written in black and white that the fur, cattle and sheep given by Yaoman were three years later.

"Now that the war has subsided for only two months, Yaoman is still waiting to be rebuilt, and supplies are in short supply. At this moment, let them fulfill the contract..."

Wang Shoufu didn't continue, but the princes understood.

This is forcing Yaoman and Dafeng to turn against each other.

Emperor Yongxing was a little annoyed, and asked, "What's the best plan for Mr. Shoufu?"

Wang Shoufu sighed in his heart, even if he didn't turn his head, he could still feel the staring eyes behind him.

As the chief assistant, there are some things he can't avoid, so he said in a deep voice:

"Although the national treasury is empty, there are rich and wealthy people inside and outside the capital, and even all over the Central Plains. Your Majesty can call on righteous people from all over the world to donate."

Here it comes....... Zhugong's heart sank.

In fact, as early as many days ago, there were rumors in Beijing that His Majesty wanted to call for donations to fill the emptiness of the treasury, and wanted to cut their flesh from them.

Emperor Yongxing was waiting for this moment, and laughed:

"This method is very wonderful, Lord Shoufu thinks how to call."

Wang Shoufu said: "The princes should take the lead in donating money, and I am willing to donate half of the family wealth to help the victims."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall was in an uproar.

Several members of the Wang Party and the former Wei Party responded immediately, saying that, like Wang Shoufu, they donated half of their family wealth to fill the treasury.

But more ministers took an opposing attitude.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible."

"I'm waiting for the wind in my sleeves and barely getting by, how can I get a fortune?"

"Businessmen seek profits, and asking them to donate money is like cutting flesh, which will definitely cause an uproar."

"The national treasury is empty, so don't publicize it. If the Witch God Sect finds out, there may be military disasters. Inside, let the people know that the imperial court is strong and the middle is weak. At that time, the refugees will turn into bandits, and the disaster will be endless."

As soon as the emperor called for donations, Wang Shoufu took the lead in donating half of his family's wealth. The princes responded greatly and stood in the same camp in an incomparably tacit understanding.

Even if they are like fire and water on weekdays.

Emperor Yongxing raised his hand to silence the noise of the ministers.

This is the Imperial Study Room, not the Golden Luan Hall, and there are no eunuchs lashing out with whips.

After the princes were quiet, he looked at the Cheng of Dali Temple and said:
