After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

"Please give me some advice, Lord Chu. I have been so busy lately that I may have missed something."

Minister Chu also politely bowed in return, then frowned and spoke worriedly.

"Our emperor is frugal and loves his people. He only celebrates his birthday once every five years. At that time, our Great Qi and its neighboring countries were still living in peace on the surface, so we moved them all to Sifang Pavilion, and of course everything would be easy to talk about.

But when the Yuan Dynasty came to the border, even though it was beaten back by General Shen, many small countries began to become restless, and various attempts emerged one after another, and there were many disputes among them.

We are still gathering them together to live together. Isn't this somewhat inappropriate?

Perhaps it is because I am an old minister that I tend to overthink and worry, but I always think it is better to take precautions before it happens, so as to avoid more chaos in the future. "

The emperor pointed at the case and did not give an immediate reply.

It cannot be said that Minister Chu’s worries are wrong. Everything else is fine, but those barbarians from the Yuan Dynasty are unlikely to be able to keep quiet.

Lord Guo also sighed.

"Alas, Lord Chu, how could I not know what you are worried about? But I do have difficulties here too!"

When talking about the trouble in his hand, the old man frowned so hard that he could pinch a mosquito to death.

"Do you think I don't want to disperse the people so that I can have peace in the future? The Hongluguan has not been completed yet, so where do you want me to put the envoys from various countries?

Speaking of which, I am always thinking about lawsuits. Liu Yue, that old man, is always procrastinating in doing anything. He was asked to repair the Hongluguan for three or four years, but now there is still no smoke from the kitchen and the sky is clear when he looks up.

How can I arrange for someone to live in a place like that, where there is nothing but walls and beams? If the news gets out, will the reputation of our great Qi Dynasty be ruined?"

Well, the blame was directly put on the Ministry of Industry.

Minister Liu, who was hurriedly called into the palace to inquire about the progress, started to complain as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Master Guo, is there any sense in what you said? Is it that I don't want to build the Honglu Pavilion for you? Isn't it that I am a good cook who can't cook without rice?

You call Old Mo here to ask him, how much does the Ministry of Finance give me in a year? How can I repair it? I will give you my face later, okay?"

Even though Minister Liu is not on par with Minister Chu, who is good at talking, when it comes to Lord Guo, who is not so cruel and would not set traps, Old Liu will also be able to talk well.

So the blame was naturally put on the head of the Minister of Revenue. Although Lord Mo is old, his ears are not deaf, his eyes are not blurry, and his mind is very clear. When he quarrels with his colleagues, he is full of energy and in good health!

The old man stiffened his neck and would rather give up his life than his wealth.

"Ask me? What's there to ask? You can see how much money is collected in the national treasury every year.

I know that your Ministry of Industry is anxious for money, but everything has to be prioritized, right?

Soldiers guarding the border are already suffering from the cold and hardship. If they don't have enough food, clothing and military pay, how can they defend their country? Are you expecting to scare the enemy away from the border with your eloquence? Just tell me whether what the Minister of War said makes sense, and whether the Ministry of War is in a hurry?

As for the Ministry of Personnel, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is so anxious that he wants to live directly in my Ministry of Revenue. Do you think they are anxious or not?

As for the Ministry of Justice, isn't Minister Chu standing here? You can ask him directly if he can stop sending those assholes to block the door of my Ministry of Revenue to ask for money next time.

There are also the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Clan Court…"

"Alright, I understand!"

The Minister of Works, who felt he was in the wrong, turned to look at the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and spread his hands in a very bachelor-like manner.

"The Ministry of Revenue can't spare any money, so what can we use to repair it?"

The emperor and his ministers in the hall fell silent in an instant.

Even Chu Daidai knew that money was the courage of a hero, so how could the officials in the court not know this? But they also knew that good iron should be used on the blade.

For example, every five years, the emperor would celebrate his birthday with great fanfare, and neighboring countries would send envoys to congratulate him.

Do you think this is for enjoyment and showing off?

No.

This is to deter villains and demonstrate national power.

The emperor and his subjects, who had adapted to each other for nearly twenty years, still had some tacit understanding. Therefore, even if the Minister of Revenue had to grit his teeth and tighten his belt, he would squeeze out the money for the Wanshou Festival.

The old man snorted coldly.

"As for the Honglu Pavilion where we can only stay for a few days, how much of a problem does it have to be whether it is renovated or not? Let the envoys squeeze into the Sifang Pavilion. If there are any dishonest people, ask Shen Erlang to take people to visit them a few more times. I don't believe that Shen Mufeng's name as a killing god has not become famous in the neighboring countries."

Anyway, the Minister of Revenue has only one meaning: no money. Well, the old man knows how to live. This is called saving what should be saved and spending what should be spent. This is the correct way to govern the country!

After all the important ministers who were tired of fighting had left, the emperor asked someone to call back Shen Yezhu, no, his General of Cavalry, who was busy training soldiers in the camp outside the capital.

After the emperor and his minister had another discussion, Shen Mufeng began to stroll around East Street in the capital every day with the token bestowed by the emperor, bah, to inspect.

Then Chu Daidai, who was bored at home and wanted to come and see his good friend, would appear in the east of the city where nobles gathered. This is a more reasonable thing, right?

When the always warm-hearted princess saw a beautiful big sister with red lips and white teeth being stopped by a man and nagging her, the sensible tiger-headed shoes asked to fight. There was nothing wrong with that, right?

That’s right!

Dai, who had sorted out the logic, stepped forward to help the injustice she saw without hesitation, and kicked away the ugly thing that dared to block her from looking at the beauty with her tiger-toe shoes.

"Oh my, who dares to kick me?!"

The face that was originally frivolous and flirtatious fell to the ground with a mouthful of dust. The guards beside him rushed over to protect their master.

"My Lord, how are you?"

"It's okay. Fortunately, I practiced it when I was young."

After the embarrassed Prince Ming was helped up by the guards, he tried to save his dignity while holding his waist which was almost broken by the kick.

Chu Daidai stood in front of the beauty, straightening his neck and raising his chin, trying his best to make himself look mighty and majestic.

"Don't be afraid, sister. I will protect you!"

The other person raised the corner of his eyes, showing his romantic and charming manner.

Looking at the lovely girl standing in front of him, Song Xiangsi slowly put on a charming smile.

"Thank you for your help, sister."

Wow, she has a nice voice!

The feeling of the gentle warmth passing through his ears made Mr. Chu suddenly feel as if he heard the sound of flowers blooming.

"You are so beautiful, even more beautiful than Shen Xiaowu!"

This was the second time she described another person as being prettier than Shen Xiaowu. Although Pei Dingyang's mother was also pretty, she was completely different from this sister in terms of beauty.

I can’t say exactly what the difference is, but I just know that this person is a little bit better looking than Shen Xiaowu.

After all, as the most perfect comparison standard in Mr. Chu's mind, anyone who is more handsome than Shen Xiaowu is definitely a rare thing and the kind that must be well protected!
