Chapter 184: The Three Brothers Raising Money

After Cai Bian left the Imperial Garden, Zhao Xu sat down in a pavilion, holding a folding fan in his hand, slowly slapping it, thinking about all aspects of the situation in his heart.

In this battle of Xixia, no one could shake him anymore! He no longer had to worry about local changes. He could boldly change and reshape the army.

As long as he has enough army in his hands, he can promote reforms at will. It can be more intense than during the reign of Emperor Shenzong, go further and more thoroughly!

At this time, the people were in the midst of the Song Dynasty, and the gentry was overwhelmingly extravagant. Many problems had reached a point where they had to be solved, but the powerful ruling inertia still led the country forward.

Zhao Xu sat on the chair, with countless thoughts moving in his heart. He had a desire to solve all the troubles in one step!

But he knew better that everything should not be too hasty, otherwise it would backfire.

At this time, three small heads in the imperial garden were poking their heads and secretly looking at Zhao Xu.

Zhao You'e was a little scared and whispered: "You'd better not want it, I'm afraid."

Zhao Ji pressed her shoulder and lowered his voice, "Empress is not happy at all. You just say that the Empress is looking for the official family, and the official family will definitely go. You say that the official family has come over, and the Queen will definitely not ask too much. You are staring at me, Zhao Si and I will come back from the palace and bring you delicious food..."

Zhao Si quickly answered, "There is also the rouge from last time."

Hearing the 'Rozhi', Zhao You'e's face was entangled. After all, she had never resisted the temptation of Yanzhi. She pursed her lips and said, "Okay! But you have to come back soon. It's terrible that the official family is angry."

Zhao Si and Zhao Ji nodded as if they were pounding garlic, and Zhao Ji even urged him: "You will go to the official house later. According to what we had agreed before, you will make this fan by yourself."

Zhao You'e took the fan sent by Zhao Ji, but her little face was still uneasy and said softly: "You must come back soon..."

The two of them kept nodding and gently pushed Zhao You'e out.

Zhao You'e turned around in one step and walked a long way before she pursed her lips, plucked up the courage, and walked straight towards Zhao Xu.

Zhao You'e is Zhao Xu's mother and sister, the youngest princess. When the palace maids saw it, they saluted one after another.

In the past, because of Zhao Xu's relationship, Zhao Si was separated from her and Zhao Si by Empress Dowager Gao, and she was extremely strict in her control and rarely came out.

Later, she was sent back to Concubine Zhu by Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu's status continued to rise, so her identity naturally rose.

Zhao Xu soon saw Zhao You'e coming over. She was a small figure and had a small face, and was very cute.

Zhao Xu waved from afar, waited for her to approach, and said with a smile: "Why do you think of seeing Brother Qi today?"

Zhao You'e pursed her lips, her little face was panicked, and she suddenly took out the fan that Zhao Ji gave her from behind, almost poked Zhao Xu's face, and said in a dissatisfactory voice: "Official family, this is the fan I made, I'll give it to you."

Zhao Xu was startled by her movements, and sat back with a tilted body, with more smiles on his face. He took the fan and looked at it. He saw that it was Zhao Ji's handwriting, but he didn't point it out. He threw the one he used to with him to the side, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, I'll take you this in the future."

Zhao You'e pursed her lips and opened her eyes wide. Seeing that Zhao Xu was not suspicious, she said in panic: "Official family, I said today that you haven't gone to have dinner for a long time."

Zhao Xu folded the fan, looked at her and smiled, stood up and took her hand, and said, "Okay, let's go to Xiaoniang for dinner."

Zhao You'e was pulled by Zhao Xu, her little face was very panicked and her steps were stumbling.

When Zhao Xu saw this, he held her hand hard and took her out of the Imperial Garden.

When passing by Zhao Si, Zhao Ji was hiding the big stone fat, Zhao You'e looked at each other and pursed her lips tightly.

The two of them secretly encouraged her, and anxiously hoped that Zhao Xu would leave the Imperial Garden as soon as possible.

As soon as Zhao Xu left the Imperial Garden, the two looked at each other and came out from behind the stone. Looking at the yellow gate that was about to go away not far away, Zhao Ji raised his head and said arrogantly: "You, take us out of the palace, and the official family wants us to buy him something."

The yellow gate was stunned. Thinking that the official family had just left the Imperial Garden, he hurriedly said, "Yes, the villain will take the two His Highness out of the palace."

Zhao Ji nodded calmly and walked in front.

Zhao Si was a little nervous, his little face was tightly tense.

Under Zhao Xu's approach to the yellow gate, the two of them were unobstructed. When they were about to reach Daqing Gate, they suddenly became nervous.

Liang Tao, Minister of Revenue, and Yang Wei, Minister of Works, spoke while entering the palace. Moreover, there was another person in front of them: their ninth brother Zhao Qi!

Zhao Si and Zhao Ji looked at each other, raised their little faces, looked straight, and followed behind the yellow gate one by one.

Liang Tao said: "The water level has dropped, and the money and grain from all over the country have not been transported up for a long time. It is useless to put pressure on the local area several times..."

Yang Wei said: "The Ministry of Industry has started to dredge the canal and completed a section before winter. Almost all the money is paid by the official treasury. Chen Daguan said that the official treasury may not be left with 300,000..."

Liang Tao frowned, his face irritable and angry. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Quan, who was holding a stick, suddenly stopped and said, "Two Ministers, do the officials urgently need money?"

Yang Wei and Liang Tao were stunned, and then they noticed that Zhao Qi was very transparent in the court and the country. The two looked at each other, and Liang Tao raised his hand and said, "Go back to Your Highness, it's not that the government is short of money, but that the court is short of money."

Liang Tao reached the end, but Zhao Quan understood, and pointed his ears at the two of them, saying, "I still have some shops in my hand. I will give the covenant to Shangshu Liang later and sell it to the government for emergency treatment."

Liang Tao looked at Zhao Qi and paused, "Don't worry, your highness, you haven't reached that point yet."

There was not a single person around Zhao Quan, and he turned his ears and said, "How much can I get, I'll go back and see how much I can raise. By the way, don't tell the officials about this."

Liang Tao looked at Zhao Qi, looked at each other with Yang Wei, and raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, if you really need it, please look for your Highness."

Zhao Qi was covered with white cloth and had no expression on his face. After waiting for a while, he said, "Okay, let's go busy, sir."

Yang Wei and Liang Tao raised their hands to Zhao Qi and continued to walk towards the green tiled room.

Zhao Quan was just a small episode, and it didn't matter to them.

Zhao Ji and Zhao Qi, not far away, were also hiding from Liang Tao and Yang Wei. Fortunately, they just raised their hands to salute them and left without asking more questions.

The two little guys breathed a sigh of relief and urged the yellow gate to leave the palace quickly.

They didn't care about holding the stick and knocking Zhao Qi who had left the palace.

But Zhao Qi heard their footsteps, tilted his head, and said, "Ninth brother, thirteenth brother?"

Zhao Ji and Zhao Siben were in a hurry to leave the palace, but they didn't want to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, Zhao Qi could hear their footsteps.

Zhao Si and Zhao Ji were reluctant, but they raised their hands to Zhao Qi together and said, "Brother Jiu."

Zhao Qi looked at the two of them with a side face and said, "Are you going to leave the palace?"

Zhao Si didn't dare to speak very much. He felt that the officials would soon know that they had secretly left the palace, and they might not have been able to leave the palace.

Zhao Ji's eyes rolled and suddenly said, "Yes, the official family asked us to leave the palace to buy something for him, and sent a yellow gate to send us out of the palace."

Zhao Quan could naturally hear another footstep, and nodded and said, "Be careful."

Zhao Ji said ummy twice, turned his head and said to the yellow door beside him: "Let's go."

Huangmen vaguely noticed something was wrong, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes. Your Highnesses come with me."

So the three of them quickly walked away from Zhao Quan and headed straight for Xuande Gate.

Zhao Quan did not hurry, knocked forward and said to himself: "How can I raise money for the official?"

Zhao Ji, who had left Xuande Gate, suddenly said with burning eyes: "Thirteen, did you hear it? Then Shangshu Liang said that the government is short of money?"

Zhao Si was puzzled and said, "Brother Jiu has a shop, but we don't have one."

Zhao Ji's eyes became brighter, and he held the scroll behind him into his arms, saying, "But I can make more money! Don't you want a horse? Let's go, I have a way!"
