Unexpectedly, when Rong Changan came, he also had a sad face, really looking down on others.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"
"Queen, what's the matter with you?"
The two met in the yard and asked in unison.
"Your Majesty, there must be something important going on between your brows and eyes. Tell me about it." Rong Changan wanted to hear what Yan Li had on his mind first.
But Yan Li is used to listening to Rong Changan's thoughts first; "There is a heavy shadow between the queen's eyebrows and eyes, and something has happened. The queen will talk about it first."
Rong Changan: "The emperor speaks first!"
Yan Li smiled slightly: "Stop arguing, the queen should speak first."
Rong Changan also gave in, and asked Yan Li to sit down in the Qianqiu Hall of Yong'an Palace.
"Your Majesty, my concubine has a request."
Rong Changan really rarely asks Yan Li, after all, she is under one person and above ten thousand, so there is nothing she can't get. Yan Li was a little surprised when he heard what Rong Changan said.
"The Queen just said it's okay, I will be satisfied if I can do it."
Rong Changan smiled: "This is a matter of the emperor's words. I want to build a palace for Zixuan, can the emperor help me give the people in the Ministry of Industry an order?"
Yan Li's sword eyebrows became tangled, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Rong Changan: "Could it be that the emperor can't handle such a trivial matter?"
A country has the power to overthrow mountains. It is easy to build a hundred palaces, let alone one palace.
Yan Li stood up, looking out of the window sadly with his hands folded behind his back, his eyes showing sorrow.
Rong Chang'an said: "The palace that the concubine mentioned is not Qin Shihuang's Efang Palace, nor Li Shimin's Daming Palace, but a palace similar in shape to Fengwu Palace."
Now that there is a drought in the north, the people are short of harvest, and urgently need to use the money from the treasury to relieve the victims; even if it does not take much manpower and material resources to build a palace similar to Fengwu Palace, but the people know that Yan Li is a man who disregards the life and death of the people in the meeting. , The emperor who built a useless palace.
"Didn't Zixuan live well in Fengwu Palace? Why did she move out?"
Rong Chang'an thought to himself: Isn't it just to build a small palace, why is Yan Li so distressed? Li Hai used to be extravagant and lustful, and was hated by the common people, but now Yan Li has gone to an extreme: he has become a stingy and stingy emperor!
Rong Changan couldn't talk about the haunting either: "No reason, I just want to build a new palace for her. Zixuan is pregnant with Liujia, so living in the new palace is not too much!"
Yan Li was silent for a while: "I'm afraid Zixuan won't be used to the new environment. Is this what Zixuan means?"
Rong Changan was a little disappointed: "It's just my own idea."
Yan Li turned to look at Rong Changan: "Since Zixuan didn't mean it, why are you so anxious to build a palace for her! Let's talk about it later!"
"But… "
Rong Changan has already agreed to Zixuan, if it doesn't work out, Zixuan will say that Rong Changan lied to her on purpose, and if Ziyan makes such a mess, the relationship between Rong Changan and Ziyan will become more and more distant.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of the Household Department is waiting for you in the Shang's study!" Eunuch Lu said outside the hall.
Yan Li called the Minister of the Household Department over to discuss disaster relief. The most important thing right now is disaster relief, not building useless palaces.
"You tell the Minister of the Household Department that I will come right away."
"Follow the order!"
Yan Li put both hands on Rong Changan's fragrant shoulders, squeezed them, and looked sincerely and eagerly: "Now I have something to discuss with the Minister of the Household Department, and we will discuss the matter of building a new palace later, okay?"
Before Rong Chang'an could speak, Yan Li walked out of Qianqiu Hall with a solemn expression.
Rong Chang'an was very hurt by Yan's absent-minded attitude. Could it be that Zixuan should continue to wear Ziyan's sachet? That's hallucinogenic! What if it affects children
Shang study. The new Minister of the Household Department, Ren Kaidi, walked up and down the hall anxiously. Now the refugees are running around, almost filling up the streets and alleys of the entire capital, even outside the city, there are also refugee camps. According to preliminary estimates, there are 300,000 refugees who came to the capital to escape!
With so many people, if we don't count and identify them clearly, the whole capital will be in chaos. However, 300,000 people, and there are still people pouring in continuously, which puts a lot of pressure on the work of the household department.
"Master Ren, how do you deal with the people who came from the disaster area?"
Yan Li's footsteps were heavy, but he didn't stagnate. He walked quickly to the hall of the Shang's study, and Ren Kaidi also walked in, reporting the situation.
"Now there are 300,000 people who have been resettled inside and outside the capital. Our household department has issued certificates to everyone. As long as someone commits, rapes, and commits crimes in the capital, the soldiers can capture them at any time. The emperor doesn't have to." Worry!"
Ren Kaidi thought that his work would be appreciated by the emperor, but Yan Li slammed the table.
"I don't want you to report the safety of the capital, my safety! What I want you to report is the safety of the people! How are they doing? It's cold at night, do you have a blanket to cover? Are you hungry, do you have steamed buns to eat? Thirsty, do you have any? Do you have water? It's hot, is there a pergola?"
Yan Li's clapping almost scared Ren Kaidi's courage.
Subconsciously, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times in a row, "Your servant deserves to die! I answered the wrong question and failed His Majesty, and I beg His Majesty to punish me!"
Why did Yan Li think that he chose such an incompetent official, who would only please his superiors, but would not be sympathetic to the people!
"If you want me to forgive you, then answer my question quickly!"
Ren Kaidi tremblingly said: "Now we open warehouses to help the people. For the time being, we can ensure that every commoner has steamed buns for three meals, and blankets to cover when the weather is cold. But there are more and more refugees, and I am afraid that even if the treasury and warehouses are moved If you come out, you may not be able to save yourself."
The wrinkle on Yan Li's forehead was as deep as a knife carving: "Then what should we do according to your wishes?"
Ren Kaidi thought for a while: "Your Majesty, if the treasury is all eaten up, and foreign enemies suddenly invade, what can we do to fight against the enemy? Therefore, according to Weichen's intention, the refugees who have been issued certificates can stay in the capital for the time being." , but the people who come one after another, we will escort them back to their original places. This will ensure that there is surplus money in the treasury and food in the warehouses, and foreign enemies will not invade and panic.”
Yan Li sneered twice: "Hey, your idea is pretty good!"
Ren Kaidi lowered his head and didn't look up at Yan Li, thinking that Yan Li was really complimenting him. He said with a smile: "The minister died after he died. I thought about it for several nights before I came up with such a solution. I am also a person who receives the state's salary, and it is right to share the country's worries."
Suddenly, a loud roar sounded from Shangshu's room: "Come here, drag this ruthless, selfish Hubu Shangshu out for me, and behead him for public display!"
