All Heavens: Starting from Traveling Through Song Qingshu

Chapter 178 Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to cut flesh for His Majesty!
Several hours later, Song Xuan opened his eyes.

In the end, he still couldn't bear to use the only chance to fuse the skills on the Heavenly Demon Strategy.

After all, there are only six volumes of Heavenly Demon Strategies today, which are not perfect, and I always feel that it is a big loss to use it on an incomplete skill.

Since he didn't intend to integrate, Song Xuan's thinking also changed accordingly. He planned to understand the essence of the exercises in it like the formula of longevity before, and then tried to integrate the useful methods into his own practice system.

"Huh? Why are you still here?"

Opening his eyes, Song Xuan asked with a smile when he saw Zhang Yang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, standing at the door of the imperial study with a haggard look on his tired and hungry face.

"His Majesty!"

Zhang Yang knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Your Majesty didn't let me leave, how dare I leave at will?"

"How does it feel to be hungry?"

"Painful, uncomfortable!" Zhang Yang replied honestly.

Song Xuan nodded noncommittally and said: "Now I can understand, why did I call you here?"

Zhang Yang nodded quickly and said: "I understand, Your Majesty must be because of the disasters in Hebei and other places, right?"

"It seems that you are not stupid. Since you know the importance of the disaster, why did you say in the book that you have to postpone disaster relief and other matters?"

Zhang Yang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to hinder anything deliberately, but the Wu Dynasty is now just established, and the court is waiting to be rejuvenated, and there are too many places in the country that need money.

Now that the national treasury is empty, if all the remaining money and food are used for disaster relief in Hebei, our court will probably be paralyzed because of the lack of money and food! "

Song Xuan glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Why did I ever say that I want to use money from the treasury?"

"What do you mean by Your Majesty?" Zhang Yang's heart beat faster, and he felt his heart jumping into his throat. Could it be that His Majesty is going to take this opportunity to take advantage of the aristocratic family?

"I don't mean anything!"

Song Xuan said lightly: "Drought in Hebei, the people have no food. If there is no relief, many people will definitely freeze to death and starve to death in winter. This is absolutely not allowed!

In a word, the disaster relief money and food in Hebei must be in place within this month, and I will not allow the people to freeze to death or starve to death.

As for how to do it, that is not what I am concerned about, that is what your courtiers should do!I only look at the results, not the process. "

"But." Zhang Yang wanted to defend a few more words, but was interrupted by Song Xuan.

"No but!"

Song Xuan looked at Zhang Yang quietly, "You are a member of the Zhang family, a big family that has been passed down for thousands of years. You probably don't even know how much money and food your family has?"

With a thud, Zhang Yang knelt down on the ground again, weeping bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am willing to use all the money and food in the family for disaster relief. I only ask Your Majesty to spare the lives of Weichen's family!"

Song Xuan laughed and said: "Master Zhang is serious, and you haven't committed any crimes, how can I just copy the family and destroy the family at will?"

He put a lot of emphasis on the four words of ransacking the family and exterminating the clan, staring at Zhang Yang, and said indifferently: "You are a smart man, go back and tell other people from aristocratic families that the disaster relief work is done well, and everyone can live a peaceful life." good year.

At the end of the year, I will personally go to Hebei to inspect it. If I am not satisfied, then this year, the people will not live well, and you all will not live it! "

"I understand!"

In the south of the city, the Zhang family, officials from all walks of life of the aristocratic family, almost all the officials who could be invited were invited by Zhang Yang.

Even Dugu Sheng, Yu Wenhua and such powerful people were called over by him.

Everyone gathered in the hall, and after almost everyone had arrived, Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and sighed, "Everyone, it's time to cut the meat!"

An old man asked: "That one in the palace, is he going to take us under the knife? Is it just for money, or for our lives?"

"Now we need money and food, but if we don't do it well, then we will die!"

Zhang Yang recounted the conversation with His Majesty the Emperor in detail: "Our Majesty is too powerful, he only cares about the results, if Hebei's disaster relief work is done well, our powerful family means that it is still useful in His Majesty's eyes. But if this matter goes wrong, with His Majesty's temperament, it is estimated that more than half of these people present may not see the sun of the coming year!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and after a long while, a younger official asked tentatively: "With so many of our big families united, His Majesty really doesn't care at all, and really doesn't worry about us rebelling?"

"Haha~~"

There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and Zhang Yang was even more speechless: "Which family is this young talent, who has no brains at all? Rebellion? Your Majesty hopes that we will rebel, and then we can ransack the family and exterminate the family!"

Believe it or not, if you rise up to rebel during the day, the heads of the whole family will be hung on the city wall that night? "

"Idiot, you really don't know anything about His Majesty's strength!"

"The world is invincible, do you think it's just a joke?!"

Yu Wenhuaji waved his hand and said: "Okay, I laughed too much, now let's discuss how much each family pays in detail!

Let me say it first, my Yuwen family can pay, or even pay more, but the money and food must be transported to Hebei for disaster relief.During this period, if an official dares to mess with his skills, don't blame the imperial guards in my hands for not being sympathetic! "

"Naturally!" Zhang Yang said, "These are hard-earned money saved by our families, how can they be used to feed the corrupt officials below.

This official will personally ask His Majesty to go to Hebei to take charge of disaster relief, but anyone who dares to reach out, no matter who they are, will take it down, it is related to our wealth and life, and there is no room for sloppy in this matter! "

"Also!" Yu Wenhuaji continued: "In Henan and Hebei, there are droughts almost every now and then. We can't go out every year, right? This is not a solution. We must think of a long-term plan to eliminate the drought. Solve the problem from the root!"

As soon as this remark came out, someone responded: "If you want to solve the drought problem, you must dig wells, dig rivers and canals, and build water conservancy works. All of these will cost a lot of money!"

Yu Wenhuaji reprimanded: "Short-sightedness, spending money once and spending money every year, you still don't understand the truth?"

The man was reprimanded for a while and dared not say any more. Facing the Yuwen Clan, ordinary people really don't have the confidence to dare to confront them.

Zhang Yangdao: "Master Yuwen said that it is indeed necessary to prepare. Disaster relief can only temporarily relieve the crisis, it is not a long-term solution, and the construction of water conservancy works must start as soon as possible.

Well, Mr. Wang, you are the minister of the Ministry of Industry, so you can arrange this matter. Get a charter as soon as possible, and calculate how much food and labor it will cost. Anyway, it’s all about cutting meat, so it’s not bad. "

Wang Yan nodded and said: "This matter is my duty."

As he said that, he laughed and said, "My lords, since we have spent all our money, why not do this job more beautifully. Give some more money to repair the houses of the victims in Hebei and other places, and give them some money." How about the field?"
