While Zhao Ji looked puzzled, the more he looked at the palace ladies, the more familiar they seemed.

Suddenly, he remembered that these pretty little girls seemed to be serving the queen all the time.

Why are you here now?

Could it be that that dignified and beautiful lady has something to do with me today?

As soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, the pretty little maids came to Zhao Ji and saluted one after another:

"This slave has met the official."

"May the official family be blessed and safe."

"The Queen has been waiting for the official for a long time, and hopes that the official will go to the study room as soon as possible."

"The Queen wants to discuss something important with the officials."

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows.

What business could that woman have with me?

His father is not in prison and does not need me to rescue him?

So why did you take the initiative to find me this time?

Could it be that that dignified beauty is unbearably lonely?

Seeing that today is a wonderful time, you want to take the initiative to find me to delve into that wonderful thing?

Although women and men have different genders, they are similar in some respects.

If a man can get it, wouldn’t a woman want to get it?

If that were the case, not only would I have to go, I would have to go quickly.

If I keep that beauty waiting impatiently, then my sin will be huge!

Thinking of this, the smile on Zhao Ji's face was really bright.

And what he was thinking in his heart was even more unconstrained and alluring.

Under the leadership of several palace maids in front, Zhao Ji first walked through a deep corridor.

Then he bypassed the overlapping rockeries.

With a slight itch in his heart, he had already arrived at the door of Shangshu's room.

At this moment, the queen, Liu Tanxin, was standing beside the bright yellow desk, wearing a bright red phoenix robe, looking at the classics on the desk in a daze.

Suddenly I heard a sound at the door, and I slowly turned around to take a look.

In this way, the two met again.

Zhao Ji's tone was full of enthusiasm and teasing:

"How come the queen has no time to think of coming to see me today?"

"Could it be that you missed me?"

"Then send someone to call me to your place."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ji wanted to quickly step forward and hold the other person's little hand.

But Liu Tanxin's next sentence was like a basin of cold water, poured on Zhao Ji's head.

Let his heart be free of all desires:

"I have neither thought nor thought about it."

"It's just that when I was reviewing a memorial last night, I suddenly encountered a difficulty."

"That's why today, I came here early in the morning to wait for the officials."

Zhao Ji stretched out half of his arm, and then slowly retracted it while coughing in embarrassment.

The smile on his face has faded a lot compared to just now:

"what?"

"Is it this?"

"Then Queen, please tell me quickly, I'll just listen carefully here."

Zhao Ji said and sat in front of the desk.

Then he waved his hand gently, indicating Liu Tanxin to sit down.

After Liu Tanxin sat down, she thought for a moment and then said what she wanted to say:

"When I was reviewing the memorial last night, I suddenly saw such a memorial."

"What I'm talking about is that this winter, there was a sudden heavy snowfall in the northeast."

"It's been snowing for more than a month now."

"As a result, houses were damaged and countless people froze to death."

"And that memorial was sent by the local chief official and his subordinates."

"The purpose is to implore the government to provide disaster relief funds as soon as possible to save tens of thousands of local people in danger."

In fact, when Zhao Ji traveled to this world, his first feeling was cold, quite cold.

The winter in this world is probably at least nearly [-] degrees colder than in Zhao Ji's previous life.

This is the case here, what about the Northeast, which is more remote than here?

This snow lasts for nearly a month. If the people in the Northeast do not have special cold-proof clothing and preparation in advance, freezing to death will become inevitable.

Although the northeastern area is remote and far away from here, no matter what, Zhao Ji is now the master of the Song Dynasty.

No matter where a major crisis occurred in the Song Dynasty, theoretically speaking, it was inseparable from him, the lord of the world.

After Zhao Ji pondered briefly, he slowly moved his gaze to Liu Tanxin's white jade-like face:

"If it were the past, how would we deal with such a disaster?"

Liu Tanxin sighed helplessly, and at the corner of her mouth, she couldn't help but reveal a wry smile:

"If it were the past, when the officials were dealing with such a dangerous situation, under the bewitchment of such important officials in the court, they would most likely ignore this memorial."

"Even in the best-case scenario, only a very small portion of the money will be allocated for disaster relief."

"But after the money is distributed, how much of it will eventually flow into the hands of the victims to maintain their livelihood."

"This is unknown."

Although Liu Tanxin's words were quite conservative, when they fell into Zhao Ji's ears, he really heard them.

Either don't ignore it, or take care of it in form.

As for the disaster victims, how much relief subsidies they can receive under the court's disaster relief measures all depends on the conscience of those officials.

You can talk about your conscience with the likes of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and Yang Jian.

What's the point of this?

Isn't this almost the same as if you saw a mad dog while walking on the street and prayed to it not to bite you?

What's the point?

Expecting a dog to understand human speech?

This is completely unnecessary.

Zhao Ji's fingers tapped on the table in turn, making a "dong-dong-dong" sound.

My mind was also in a state of chaos at this time.

I don't know how long it took.

Zhao Ji just slowly raised his head and said in a low voice:

"Queen, convey my will and provide disaster relief."

"Take more silver from the national treasury to support the people in the disaster area."

"As for how much silver will be able to flow into the hands of the people in the disaster area by then, let's find a way."

"Corruption is rampant in the official system of the Song Dynasty. If I force those officials now not to deduct any money from the disaster relief funds."

"I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."

"Even so, we can only take one step at a time."

"What if I don't distribute some relief funds just because of corruption."

"Wouldn't it be true that countless people in the Northeast region will freeze to death?"

But Liu Tanxin, after hearing Zhao Ji's order, neither accepted it on the spot nor shook her head in denial.

He was still sitting there in a daze as before, with a complex expression on his face.

Zhao Ji, who noticed something was wrong with Liu Tanxin, frowned slightly and asked:

"Queen, why don't you come to receive the order?"

Liu Tanxin stood up slowly from the chair, then came to the table and bowed to Zhao Jishen:

"In the official family, this concubine will plead guilty to you."

"It's not that I don't accept this decree, but even if I accept it, I won't be able to carry it out in the future."

Zhao Ji looked puzzled:

"Why is that?"
