Chapter three hundred and sixteen wonderful king and minister

Zhao Huan is rich, so he doesn't mind giving the treasury a sum of money to overcome the difficulties. The surname Zhao is not Li in the world.

"It costs about one million stones of rice or wheat grain, or ten million guan." Li Gang said carefully. This money is not the ten million guan that was urgently given to Guanzhong Qingmiao Law.

He Li promised to pay back 12 million guan by the end of the year. He wanted the ten million guan, but he would not return it.

Zhao Huan glanced at Zhao Ying, and Zhao Ying nodded confidently. Even if it was ten million, ten million, ten million were not without them.

"Go and find Zhao Duzhi to pay money." Zhao Huan said indifferently.

Money is the most useless thing in the world.

For example, Zhao Huan has never used money himself, so he doesn't care about money.

Li Gang bowed his head and said, if the official family was not a person like Zhao Huan, he would have to learn from Cai Jing and work hard to make money.

Maybe what he is better than Cai Jing is that he is not greedy for money.

But it is of no use.

If you work hard to make money, you must comply with the unspoken rules of making money and share the accounts with the gentry and the outsiders. In this way, ordinary people will suffer.

Cai Jing's typical example of tearing down the western wall and repairing the east wall, and after repairing it, they all collapsed in the end.

Li Gang directly demolished the emperor's wall, which was a taboo.

Unfortunately, Li Gang is a novice prime minister, and isn’t Zhao Huan also a novice emperor?

Neither of them took this seriously.

Zhao Huan felt that taking it from the people and using it for the people is a very normal logic, after all, he lived in such an era.

Most of the money Zhao Huan had in his hands was raided out, and the profits he had paid for Yanyun's sixteen prefectures were managed by Zhao Ying, and it was definitely taken from the people.

Zhao Huan liked to build large-scale construction, filling pits on Hebei Road, building Taiyuan City on Hedong Road, and building Yanjing on Yanjing Road. However, this kind of construction is to build a city and a state affairs, not for his own luxury.

In this way, although Zhao Huan used work relief for the civilians to repair the pit in Jiancheng, he also consumed a lot of local people who brought their own dry food, saving a lot of money.

But if you want to build a palace, no one will bring their own dry food.

Zhao Huan's large-scale construction project was actually not very expensive, and Zhao Huan's requirements for Yanjing Road were also very low.

This kind of strange thing that both parties think is rightfully done by asking for money happened so that it happened in a blatant way, and no one has dissuaded it yet.

Therefore, Zhao Gou felt that the practice of the Bian Jing emperor was really strange. He was originally an emperor and he was in the world but he didn't enjoy it well and had a thankless change.

After changing, one day I will change my throne and I will know to repent.

"When you provide relief to the victims, be sure to ensure that the money and food will be in the disaster area and the people's hands. If you are not able to handle this matter, ask Li Bangyan, he should be back from Hedong Road now." Zhao Huan asked.

Li Bangyan is a man who is very good at taking sides. When he entered Beijing at Qimen, Li Bangyan actually took his old servants and rushed from Bianjing thousands of miles to Hedong Road to join Zhao Huan.

However, Zhao Huan was in a hurry and was inspected from Yunzhong and entered Hedong Road, and then to Guanzhong. His whereabouts were vague, and Li Bangyan failed to meet the saint.

However, Zhao Huan had been back to Beijing for several months, and Li Bangyan slowly returned to Bianjing in a ox cart.

Li Gang knew that he was not an omniscient and omnipotent person, so Li Gang bowed his head to say that he was on Zhao Huan's suggestion.

When Li Gang left Xuande Gate, he looked back at the imperial city under the setting sun. He was in a daze. He naturally knew that it was not good to take the official's money, but he had some solutions and would not speak.

Now he is spending money everywhere, and he has finally maintained a balance of income and expenditure, but he has to ask for money again on the current Jinghu North Road.

Fortunately, the official family doesn't care much.

Li Gang's sedan did not return to his house, but directly found Li Bangyan's residence, a small courtyard with two entrances and one exit, which was not eye-catching in this bustling city of Bianjing.

Li Bangyan was really shocked when he heard the concierge say that Li Gang was visiting.

In Li Bangyan's opinion, Li Gang is much better than he did in the past!

Don’t bow your head when facing danger, don’t be afraid of imperial power, and try to handle everything as thoroughly as possible.

So, Li Gang was really surprised that he was able to come.

He hurriedly packed up and went to the main entrance to greet Li Gang, saying repeatedly: "Li Taizai, a rare guest!"

"Shimei is a slaughter." Li Gang said with a smile and entered the mansion with Li Bangyan.

Li Gang told Li Bangyan about the court and told Li Bangyan that he was ordered to come.

"Tazai, I have something to say. If you ask the government to pay money from the treasury, it is really rare in the world. It has never been heard of." Li Bangyan shook his head repeatedly, this pair of strange monarchs and ministers.

Of course, in the Song Dynasty, strangeness was still its original intention. The unique and beautiful flowers praised people with outstanding features and no derogatory meaning. [Note 1]

"Taozai, it is enough to be clear about public and private affairs. Today, the treasury is empty for a while. You ask the treasury for money. If the treasury is short of money and the treasury is empty on one day, do you have to learn from Cai Jing and make money from the government? "Li Bangyan first pointed out Li Gang's mistake.

Li Gang shook his head and did not consider answering this matter. He knew the officials and always felt that the officials were planning a major event. If this matter was done, the treasury and the treasury were probably not short of money.

But Li Gang didn't know what the officials were going to do.

But Li Bangyan obviously didn't know what the officials were thinking. This was a prime minister. Without the center of power, he would become less sensitive to various things.

"Li Dazai visited you today, and I am very honored. But Li Dazai, I am afraid you can't help you with your political affairs." Li Bangyan looked decadent after saying that.

In the past few months, he transferred from Bianjing to Hedong Road, and then from Hedong Road to Guanzhong. He finally saw how dismal the people were like under the disaster of gold.

Along the way, what Li Bangyan felt most deeply was the practical benefits of various policies of the government to the people.

Therefore, Li Bangyan reflected on his various actions during his past administration and wrote them into a note.

When Li Gang asked about the relief of Jinghu North Road, Li Bangyan said with shame: "In the third year of Xuanhe, the Supreme Emperor ordered someone to bring two million guan and three hundred thousand shi of grain and grass to provide relief to the Fang La rebellion on Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan East and West Road."

"I failed to fulfill the emperor's order, which led to the rebellion of Liangjiang and Liangzhe. In the fourth year of Xuanhe, the Supreme Emperor scored 10 to kill all the families of Jiangnan Zhongren." Li Bangyan sighed when he said this.

I still think about myself.

Fang La's affairs involved six routes and needed relief to the fourth route. Li Bangyan brought two million guan and three hundred thousand stones of grain and grass, which was absolutely not enough.

But the Supreme Emperor only gave him this little, what can he do?

Li Gang was much more courageous, and he directly asked for ten million chunks of money to open his mouth!

What really surprised Li Bangyan was that the emperor actually took out the money from the treasury!

"I knew that Shimei had done her best when she was providing relief to Jiangnan, but she had no choice but to make plans and accomplish things, and she could not provide relief and pension. That was why I asked Shimei for advice, what was wrong with the original relief?" Li Gang said with a smile. He had no intention of laughing at Li Bangyan.

It is really not easy for this prodigal prime minister to use less than two million chunks of relief to Liangzhe Road.

Seeing Li Gang's attitude and the development of the matter, Li Bangyan also knew that Li Gang was asking for advice sincerely, rather than coming to tease him. He said with emotion: "I learned from my mistakes and found that it was bad. I saved the people first."
