After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 26 Breaking common sense!

【now.】

【The Yu Kingdom was first established. 】

【You have to spend money everywhere.】

[The Minister of Revenue naturally knows more about the flow of money in the national treasury than other officials.]

【But. 】

【Based on his past experience. 】

[Chen Huaixin has been building large-scale projects all over Yu Country. It is normal that the national treasury should have been close to deficit or even exhausted! ]

【"But."】

【“Why?”】

[“The treasury’s expenditures are slowly decreasing.”]

[“And people’s livelihood is really recovering slowly?”]

[The Minister of Revenue racked his brains but still couldn't understand the reason behind this.]

[After spending days and nights at the Ministry of Revenue calculating, he finally decided to ask His Majesty directly. Otherwise, if he continued calculating, he might suspect his subordinates of falsifying the accounts! ]

【so. 】

[After the minister who was trying to persuade him withdrew, he directly asked about his confusion.]

[When Chen Huaixin, who was sitting above, heard the Minister of Revenue do this, a smile appeared on his face: "You are doing it completely according to my plan, right?"]

[“Don’t dare to deviate in any way,” the Minister of Revenue said hastily.]

[“That’s right, just keep doing it,” Chen Huaixin said with a smile.]

[The Minister of Revenue was still confused, but he did not dare to ask any more questions. He sighed and thought about returning to the crowd of ministers, but Chen Huaixin's voice rang out at this time: "If you really care, focus on the overall planning, not just the schools and water conservancy facilities that have been built."]

【Hearing this. 】

[The Minister of Revenue stood there in a daze.]

【But soon. 】

[He seemed to have figured it out. When he came back to his senses, he looked at Chen Huaixin with eyes full of astonishment. He couldn't help but think excitedly in his heart: "My emperor is good at both civil and military affairs, and he is also so good at governing the country."]

[“God bless me, Dayu!”]

【April, the second year of Jingping.】

【Schools were established in all states and counties.】

【Due to the attraction of free lunch, many parents sent their children to school, which immediately made the learning atmosphere flourish in various places.】

【Although.】

【During the re-opening of the imperial examination. 】

[Even those with the worst backgrounds are still children from poor families.]

[But Chen Huaixin's expression did not show any displeasure at all, instead he even had a slight smile on his face.]

[“Don’t worry, don’t worry.”]

[“The common people have only just begun to have access to knowledge.”]

[“Among the huge number of people, there will definitely be a genius.”]

[“A spark will surely start a prairie fire!”]

In the Jinluan Palace.

The faces of the ministers who had previously questioned Chen Huaixin's decision to build a school now turned somewhat ugly.

Especially the Minister of Revenue, Mu Xiuqi, whose face was covered with blue and yellow.

Just now when Chen Huaixin was questioned, he stood up as a representative figure. Now, the future deduced by the Jiantian Mirror seemed to slap him in the face again and again, but he couldn't even resist!
"Pfft!"

"It seems that I am the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of Dacheng."

“I can’t even understand how others govern the country and restore people’s livelihood.”

"They keep questioning whether what they are doing is wrong and will inevitably lead to war all over the country!"

The second princess Ji Changling's mocking voice rang out at this time.

But she didn't forget.

Previously, Mu Xiuqi not only took the lead in questioning Chen Huaixin, but also used Chen Huaixin to drag down their generals! Ji Changling was not a good-tempered person. She would fight back when she was scolded. Now that she had the opportunity to taunt back, how could she hold back!
And after hearing her words.

The faces of the civil service group were even more terrifyingly dark.

They really couldn't understand why Chen Huaixin was not only good at leading troops in battle and managing logistics, but also had such insights in governing the country? !

Since ancient times.

The world generally regards emperors who like to build large-scale projects as incompetent rulers, and also associates them with the destruction of the country.

They were well-versed in the classics and naturally regarded them as the truth. They had always opposed the king's large-scale construction projects, believing that in order to restore people's livelihood, they should rest and recuperate and let the people continue to farm.

but.

Chen Huaixin’s approach.

But it broke their self-proclaimed common sense!

Not only did he build schools and develop water conservancy projects, he also provided free lunches to students. However, by doing so, not only did the national treasury not suffer a deficit, but people's livelihood in various places was also recovering!
This is counterintuitive.

Where can they find reason!!!
"This move... this move... is unreasonable!"

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Mu Xiuqi, held his breath for a long time before finally uttering these words.

But this made Ji Changling laugh even louder!

Ji Qingluo, who was sitting on the dragon throne, cast his eyes towards the Minister of Revenue Wei Taihe and said, "Minister Wei, do you understand why Chen Huaixin's actions will not deplete the national treasury, but will instead help restore people's livelihood?"

When questioning Chen Huaixin before, Wei Taihe was mature and prudent and did not express his opinion, which saved him from being as embarrassed as Mu Xiuqi. However, when he thought about the fact that his foreign wars had depleted the national treasury while Chen Huaixin was building large-scale projects to restore people's livelihood, Ji Qingluo felt very unhappy!

"It's obviously a waste of money and manpower, so why is Chen Huaixin's Yu Kingdom becoming more and more prosperous, while my Dacheng has to face a precarious situation?!"

Ji Qingluo stared at Wei Taihe with cold eyes.

She already knew it very well.

Most of the officials in the court are parasites!
Otherwise, how could Chengguo become like this!
"Return to Your Majesty."

"I am stupid."

"I still don't know how Chen Huaixin did it."

Wei Taihe said with his head down.

When he saw the future predicted by the Jiantian Mirror, he was deeply shocked. However, even though he had been in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for many years, he could not see the difference between Chen Huaixin's large-scale construction projects and previous large-scale construction projects!

"Humph!"

Ji Qingluo snorted coldly.

The oppressive gaze made Wei Taihe sweat continuously, but he didn't dare to move at all!

Fortunately.

That's when.

The eldest daughter of the emperor, Ji Changning, suddenly spoke up: "In the plan made by Chen Huaixin, he seemed to pay wages to the people who built schools and water conservancy projects instead of conscripting them for corvée labor."

Pay wages to the people? !

Hear this.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

They never thought that they would mobilize the people to build a large-scale project and give them money! This is even more unreasonable!

"That is to say."

"As long as we recruit the people to build water conservancy projects and give them money, can we restore people's livelihood?"

Ji Changling looked at Ji Changning with some curiosity.

But Ji Changning shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that simple. Chen Huaixin's complete plan for large-scale construction projects was not fully deduced from the Jiantian Mirror. This should be just one of the reasons. If you want to know the reason, you may have to summon Chen Huaixin to the palace and ask him in person."

"Recruit Chen Huaixin to the palace."

"Why not ask him in person?"

Ji Changling's eyes blinked.

She suddenly thought of something and looked at the group of civil servants. A beautiful smile appeared on her delicate and pretty face. She said, "Even the Minister of Revenue doesn't know the reason for this matter. If Chen Huaixin explains it now, will Minister Wei have to step down and let others take over?"

"It can't be that in Dacheng, people with no ability are in high positions, while people with ability are toiling away at the bottom!"
