Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Lu Yunkui asked the eunuch accompanying him to take some refreshing ointment and put it on his head.

This ointment was specially made for him by Mrs. Wang. There was a ball of black ointment in the middle of the white gauze.

Lu Yunkui put one on each side of his temples. A cool feeling penetrated his forehead, and he felt much refreshed.

His current image is a bit funny, but no one dares to laugh at him, and he himself doesn't care much.

After a pause, he weakly asked Prime Minister Wang:

"What should we do according to the Prime Minister's words? The Ministry of Revenue has said many times that we really can't get food out.

I asked for disarmament, but Chu Ge's old donkey started to make alarmist remarks, saying that the Xirong army would invade the country in the second half of the year. Where do you want me to go to get food for you?

The Chu family is in charge of the Northwest Army. Chu Tianjiao will do his best to raise food for the Northwest Army.

If something happens, it will be the Chu family’s responsibility! "

Prime Minister Wang really didn't expect the emperor to be such a rogue.

This is to throw the heavy burden of food and salary for the Northwest Army onto the Chu family!

This is your Lu family's empire, not the Chu family's empire.

You let the Chu family fight the war, and you also let the Chu family pay for the food and grass?

Then you can be the emperor comfortably in the palace. How can there be such truth in this world?

Even Lu Yuanqing felt that his father's behavior was too much.

He wanted to help the Chu family, but he couldn't think of a good solution.

Seeing that the emperor was resolute, Prime Minister Wang had no choice but to fight for more rights for the Chu family and suggested:

"I understand the difficulty that your Majesty has for a clever woman to make a living without straw, and please consider that Master Chu is facing the same predicament as your Majesty.

In this case, I suggest that it is better to merge the Ganzhou-Shaanxi Road and the Northwest Road under the jurisdiction of Chu Ge and Chu Yan. Ganzhou, Guanzhong, Jinzhou, Yuzhou and Shuofang are collectively called the Northwest Road. Chu Ge continues to serve as the governor of the Northwest Road. Chu Yan is the deputy governor.

Chu Tianjiao served as the grain envoy of the Northwest Road, and concurrently served as the governor of Ganzhou and the governor of Guanzhong, Jinzhou, and Yuzhou. He had the power to supervise and intervene in local government affairs.

In this way, Master Chu will have enough space to find ways to raise food! "

Lu Yunkui thought about it and realized that this was a good idea.

The two brothers Chu Ge and Chu Yan were originally the governors of the Northwest Road and Ganshan Road. Their territories were merged, and Yuzhou was added.

Yuzhou was already poor and had just suffered a major disaster. It was a mess, so leave it to them.

Letting Chu Tianjiao serve as the food inspector was just a matter of embodying his previous decree into an official position, so there was no problem.

Is it too much to just let Chu Tianjiao serve as the governor of the three states?

Just when he was about to refute this, Lu Yuanqing laughed first and agreed with Prime Minister Wang: "Uncle, this is a wonderful idea!

Our country does not have the position of governor.

But the governor was limited to supervising officials and collecting taxes, which left Sister Chu to keep an eye on the work of the state herders. "

Lu Yunkui thought about it, yes, the governor is not a state pastor, so he can only give Chu Tianjiao the right to supervise officials and collect taxes.

How could those state pastors, whose seniority and age were older than hers, be usurped by her?

It's just to give her a name so that she can raise food in these places.

Just wait until the Northwest Army's food supply is sorted out, and then find a way to evacuate her.

The emperor was also afraid that Marquis Liyang would have objections, so he asked the eunuch to inform Marquis Liyang to discuss the matter.

Chuge, Marquis of Liyang, rushed to the palace in a hurry, his red official uniform was soaked with sweat.

After he saluted the emperor, he kept moving his heels towards the iceberg, holding the jade board as a cattail leaf fan with his thick palms, quietly fanning the wind.

The emperor saw it, but he had a request from the Chu family and could not reprimand him for his disobedience.

He just thought that Chu Ge, a reckless man, seemed to be less and less easy to fool than before. He had to find a way to get him to agree to the arrangement of using taxes from the four states to offset the rations and wages of the northwest army.

Lu Yunkui winked at Prime Minister Wang.

Prime Minister Wang also felt that his proposal was actually a bit unethical.

Those four states look big, but the imperial court has already collected all the taxes for the first half of the year.

In the second half of the year, three of the four states suffered disasters, so there was no need to raise taxes.

Not necessarily, the imperial court should have provided disaster relief food instead.

Now, these four states are being used as a sweetener to the Chu family, allowing them to raise rations for the Northwest Army on their own. Isn't this a deception?

He had come up with the proposal, so he could only bite the bullet and explain it to Marquis Li Yang.

After hearing this, Marquis Liyang didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The Chu family has always only participated in the military affairs of the country.

The emperor suddenly dumped the taxes of four states on his daughter. He thought it was a trap, and then after careful consideration, he figured out the emperor's thoughts.

However, what the emperor thought was a trap, Li Yanghou felt that it might not really be a trap.

He had been in the court all day and already knew that the court could not provide food and salary to the Northwest Army.

With these four states, especially among the four states, including Jinzhou, which was not affected by the disaster, with his daughter's ability, she might be able to find a way to raise food.

After weighing the matter, Marquis Liyang felt that this could be done, but he would have to be very unacceptable.

After thinking about it, Marquis Liyang immediately started jumping around and shouted angrily at Prime Minister Wang: "Old Wang, you are only trying to trick our Chu family!

Check your conscience, have you fed the dog?

You can't collect any money or food from those four states. How can you collect food if your daughter is a child? "

Prime Minister Wang didn't know that Marquis Liyang was feigning anger, and was afraid that he would really make him angry, so he tried to persuade him and persuaded the court, but there was nothing he could do.

Marquis Liyang was so violent that he knelt on the ground and cried to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, you can't bully my daughter like this!

Although she received the rank of First Grade Military Officer, she had earned it with her life in the Battle of Linhai! "

The emperor was so dizzy from his crying that he hurriedly coaxed him:

"As long as your eldest girl can solve the problem of food and salary for the Northwest Army, I will issue an order now to promote her to the first-class Wusheng General, to lead the grain envoy of the Northwest Road, the governor of Ganzhou and the governor of the three states. Give her the title of the governor of the three states. On the northwest road, we have the right to kill first and report later.”

Hearing that the emperor began to give benefits, Marquis Liyang was secretly happy, but his face still showed the pain of his dead father. He wiped his tears and said:

"Your Majesty, do you think you can really find food and salary from these four states alone?

If the food and salary could be found, why did the imperial court continue to default on the food and salary for the Northwest Army?

Since Your Majesty has asked my daughter to take charge of the tax revenue of the four states to make up for the lack of military pay, why not give the land of Shu as well?

I heard at some point that the grain production in Shu is also close to Ganzhou, and I said that it may not be able to help poor places like Ganzhou, Yuzhou and Guanzhong. "

Lu Yunkui felt that Li Yanghou was opening his mouth.

Everyone knows that Shu is a land of abundance and a major grain-producing province. How could the emperor be willing to give Shu's taxes and grain to the Northwest Army?

Wang Cheng saw Li Yanghou crying miserably, and he also sympathized with the Chu family's plight.

As a family of military generals, not only do you have to sacrifice your life and blood, but you also have to raise your own military pay and food.

He felt even more guilty that he originally wanted to help the Chu family gain more rights and interests, but it ended up being self-defeating. He gave it to four states with little profit, and the Chu family might have to pay back.

In order to make up for his guilt, Prime Minister Wang stepped forward and quietly reminded the emperor: "For the purpose of collecting grain, the taxes from Shuzhou have been collected at the end of the year."

When the emperor heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Taxes in Shuzhou have been levied until the end of the year.

If Chu Tianjiao still wanted to ask Shu to collect taxes and grain, he would have no choice but to exploit the people and increase taxes.

Today's taxes are already so heavy that even the emperor himself does not dare to increase taxes.

The Chu family's reputation among the people was so good that Chu Tianjiao was able to bear the bad reputation of extortionate taxes.

His eyebrows were raised, his eyelids were half-closed, and he was thinking quietly:

"In the past, I was always a villain, reaching out to the people to collect money and food to support your Northwest Army in the war.

Your good reputation has been lost to your Chu family.

Now, just turn it around and reach out to the people yourself to see if the people still praise you!

If the people rebel because of this afterwards, Chu Tianjiao will be demoted or prosecuted to vent the people's anger.

In this way, money and food are collected, and power is recovered. "

Chu Tianjiao was busy resettling the victims of Puyang in Yuzhou. She didn't know that the emperor was planning to plot against her in order to get rid of the burden of paying the Northwest Army.
