After the cannon fodder prince collapsed, the country will not perish

After Xie Qingci took over the grain storage, someone immediately notified the officials of the household department.

The officials of the household department looked at each other with question marks on their faces.

Did you hear me right?That sick prince who was coughing while walking a few steps, actually came to the Ministry of Households to inspect the military rations?

Want to conjure three hundred stones of grain from the capital out of thin air? !

Isn't this a fool's dream?

Before Xie Qingci arrived, these officials were already talking about it.

"According to what His Highness said, the grain has to come from the capital, but it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. The capital has no extra farmland, and the grain has always been dispatched from other provinces... so where can we find this hundreds of stones of grain... ..."

"Your Highness is still young, so he wants to catch people by surprise, but he doesn't think about it. It's not easy to make political achievements like food that can't be falsified..."

"Return three hundred shi of grain, I think it will be the last one, a hundred shi will be difficult..."

These people were talking excitedly when they suddenly heard a light cough from outside the door.

Everyone looked up, only to find that a group of people had already arrived outside the door.

The eyes of the person in the middle are indifferent and soft, and his cheeks are like snow, which looks even paler against the backdrop of black hair. His slender body is wrapped in a cloak in early autumn, and his whole body melts like snowflakes at the touch of a finger.

Officials: "..."

This is the rumored Third Highness who lives in seclusion?

Heh, this appearance is even more stunning than they thought.

It's just that it's obviously impossible to use an iron fist like this, so how can it be possible to get three hundred shi of grain?

Many people have already underestimated the ignorant Xie Qingci.

"My lords discussed the matter early, and this king is very pleased." Xie Qingci did not exchange any greetings, and went straight to the point: "It's just that I heard some people say that there is no arable land in the capital, and there is no surplus food? Ask yourself, is it true, or are you all?" Turn a blind eye?"

There was a hint of sharpness in his tone, and everyone was silent for a moment.

Xie Qingci raised his eyes coldly and said: "As far as I know, there are now as many as 20 farmers in the suburbs of Beijing. Since they are farmers, aren't they working hard every day to grow food? If taxes are reduced or exempted in these years , it must not be difficult for these people to hand over a few hundred shi of grain."

These words were considered a surefire solution, but as soon as he uttered them, the surroundings became quieter.

The farmland in the capital...

They thought that Xie Qingci would have other ideas, but they didn't expect that they would actually dare to stretch out their hands... those cultivated farmlands.

Those places are not the private fields of the farmers. To put it bluntly, these people are the tenants of the nobles, because the cultivated land around the capital has long been divided up by the so-called nobles, and the taxes paid also go into the pockets of the nobles.

These people have obtained a lot of money and farms by relying on the support around the capital, and they have been acquiesced by the Holy One. The powerful and powerful are intertwined and intertwined.

They originally thought that Xie Qingci would cultivate the wilderness, but who would have thought that His Highness looked soft, but directly aimed at that piece of land with a ruthless shot.

Tough and sharp, people can't parry.

They didn't speak, but Xie Qingci didn't mean to let it go, and directly called their names: "The servant of the household department, what do you think?"

The Minister of the Household Department bit the bullet, adhering to the principle of never offending anyone, and said cautiously: "Your Highness is right, but these lands are divided. It is not safe to act rashly at this time."

"You only think about the safety at this time. Have you ever thought about whether it is safe to transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, whether it is safe to have a 40 army, whether this country is safe?!"

He asked every sentence so forcefully that people couldn't help but bow their heads.

Only the pair of eyes behind him, instead of dodging in any way, looked at Xie Qingci more firmly.

Xiao Di gently caressed the back of the person in front of him with his eyes.

It was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, Xie Qingci was afraid of the cold, and he was already wearing a moon-white cloak, and his black hair was scattered like ink.

It was originally a gentle and arbitrary appearance, but at this time it was cold and pressing.

This reminded Xiao Di of the spring night not long ago, when he just arrived, in the capital full of humiliation and indifference, the gentle little Highness stood in front of him like this.

Xiao Di lightly clenched his palm.

The Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs did not show weakness: "Your Highness, these people are important ministers who founded the country, and these farmlands were bestowed by His Majesty's imperial decree. Now that His Highness insists on going his own way, wouldn't it be cold to the hearts of the heroes, and how will His Majesty deal with himself?"

For a while, everyone whispered.

Xie Qing resigned: "You have said every word of the imperial decree, and you are sure that these cultivated lands are rewarded by His Majesty?"

"Of course, His Highness has been living in secluded places. I'm afraid you don't know that these places are rewarded by His Majesty himself to important ministers."

The servant of the household department was personally promoted by the prime minister, so he would naturally protect the lord when encountering such a situation. These remarks naturally meant that Xie Qingci was ignorant of state affairs and was pointing fingers at random.

Xie Qingci's beautiful lips were always filled with a calm smile, making people puzzled: "Since it is a reward from His Majesty, if this king insists on taking it back, it will be against the holy will?"

"That's natural."

"This king also has an imperial decree, His Majesty has the full authority to order this king to supervise this matter. If there is any discrepancy between that imperial decree and what you said, then it must follow the decree in this king's hand."

"...that's natural."

Xie Qingci waved his hand: "Let's declare the decree."

Xiao Di took a deep look at Xie Qingci, and read: "The Marquis of Anping, the Marquis of Jianzhang and others led the army to fight and assisted me in the battle. I am deeply grateful. Outside of the fiefdom, I specially bestow you with a house and a fertile farmland. A good garden with a hundred acres to support the rest of the world.”

Xiao Di's long and narrow eyes swept across the crowd, and he deliberately emphasized the word "Hundred Mu". After reading it, he stood beside Xie Qingci with a fierce face protecting his master.

All the ministers: "..."

Xie Qingci... actually brought all this will.It completely blocked the back road.

And the person next to him, isn't he the Flying Cavalry Captain who just defeated the Northern Kingdom? He also looks fierce... How could he obediently protect Xie Qingci?

Could it be that the two of them have already had an unscrupulous interest transaction in private?

"The imperial decree clearly stated that those who rewarded the meritorious officials were the houses in the suburbs of Beijing and a hundred acres of good gardens, and who allowed them to stretch their hands outside the garden?" Xie Qingci stared at him closely: "If you prevaricate, do you mean tampering with the imperial decree? , to deceive the prince?"

Hearing this, the man was so frightened that his legs went limp, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "It's my minister's carelessness, no... I didn't read the will carefully, but how could I have the guts to change the imperial decree..."

They also knew these decrees in their hearts, but when they were carried out, no one strictly obeyed them, and the situation intensified like a snowball. Up to now, these heroes have occupied more than a thousand acres of fertile land.

"Even if you did it unintentionally." Xie Qingci's voice did not have any waves: "Strike forty sticks, and then copy the decree a hundred times, and distribute it to everyone in the household department, so as not to be blind again when doing errands in the future Come out to deceive the king!"

Immediately someone pulled the man down.

Xie Qingci took a sip of tea slowly.

On his first day in charge of affairs, he did not intend to be too harsh.

Everyone in the household department: "..."

Someone gritted his teeth and pleaded: "Your Highness, he is an official of the imperial court, not an official in the palace. His Highness is probably too arrogant to act like this!"

"It seems that there are people in the household department who are not blind, and they can see the arrogance of this king at a glance." Xie Qingci raised his eyes suddenly, and said coldly: "Haven't you heard that this king has a reputation for arrogance? If you dare to stop him, This king's arrogance is no longer a slap in the face."

"You..." The official was speechless, and even his hands were trembling slightly.

After a while, there was the sound of staff scolding outside, and the officials of the household department took a breath, thinking to themselves that they were really blind.

Xie Qingci's lips, who were drinking tea, were warm and moist, covered with a thin layer of water, and his fair complexion was almost transparent.

But the more he looked like this, the more frightening he was. Before, someone would think that he was... weak and deceitful?

Xie Qingci snorted coldly in his heart.

Before the rebirth in this life, the plot was still going on, since there were also rumors about how arrogant he was.

He had no intention of saving, and simply used his domineering reputation to achieve his wish.

Xiao Di always stood by Xie Qingci's side, his figure reflected in his eyes.

The pupils are deeply filled by the person in front of him, as if nothing else can fit into them.

After the execution was over, Xiao Di followed Xie Qingci and left the household department.

Xie Qingci got into the carriage, gently pressed his temples with his white fingertips, obviously exhausted.

Don't look at Fang Cai's imposing manner, only Xie Qingci knows what his body looks like.

Now at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, he is physically weak and afraid of the cold, and what he feels is the coldness of approaching winter, and it becomes more and more difficult every day.

Just as he was closing his eyes, a pair of big hands rested on his forehead, and his slender fingers pressed forcefully: "Is it uncomfortable here?"

Xie Qingci raised his eyes, Xiao Di's clear black pupils stared at him, and after the coldness faded away, they seemed to contain warm sun.

Xie Qingci's heart warmed.

He has always resisted Xiao Di's active physical intimacy, but this time he immediately closed his eyes: "Well, use a little more force."

Xiao Di raised his eyebrows, his eyes suddenly brightened, he held Xie Qingci in his arms, wrapped his hands behind his back, and gently massaged his temples.

"Xiao Di." Xie Qingci closed his eyes wearily: "Don't push yourself too far."

Xiao Di's deep voice tickled his ears: "Your Highness, it's easy to exert force like this."

Xie Qingci's earlobes turned red immediately, but he barely had the strength to struggle.

Xiao Di didn't say anything, just massaged Xie Qingci's eyes politely.

The news that Xie Qingci's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers and wants to touch the farmland in the suburbs of Beijing spread like wind to the ears of all the ministers!

Those are the sites of the founding fathers. He is too courageous for a prince who has not taken real power!

The people from the household department were in the prime minister's mansion, with a bitter expression on their faces: "Prime Minister, look at what to do. You also know that those lands are all honorable, and the taxes are also in the pockets of the honorable ministers. Your Highness asked us to ask for it." If so, wouldn't it be that the egg hits the stone..."

"Yes, yes, the Prime Minister is still in charge of the overall situation. If His Highness acts like this, sooner or later the court will be in chaos."

The prime minister smiled without saying a word, but his eyes gradually darkened.

"Prime Minister, this matter is related to the fate of the country, why are you not in a hurry?"

"Of course it's urgent." The Prime Minister said slowly, "But there are people who are more anxious than us."

"As far as I know, the land in the south of the capital belongs to Brother An." The prime minister said, "He came from a humble background, and he would give up his life for the sake of money. Would he stand by and watch?"

These people immediately figured it out, the prime minister pretended to be deaf and dumb, because he didn't want to go into the muddy water.

Xie Qingci's actions didn't affect the interests of one person, the prime minister could bring out hard problems to torture Xie Qingci even if he didn't show up.

"Report this matter to Brother An." The prime minister said indifferently: "Didn't your majesty say that you want your highness to practice well? As ministers, we naturally have to obey the order."
