The next day, in the morning, Tang Yin looked refreshed and full of energy. He sat on the king's chair, looked around at the ministers below, and said: "If you have something to do, you will report it early. If there is nothing, you will leave the court."

"I have something to report to you!" Shangguan Yuanji walked out of the train and bowed deeply to Tang Yin.

"What does Yuan Ji want to report?" Tang Yin asked.

Shangguan Yuanji said seriously: "Your Majesty, the floods in Lingdong County are getting worse and worse, and now they have affected Lingnan County."

Tang Yin frowned. In his impression, hadn't this matter been resolved? He asked: "Is there another memorial requesting the imperial court for the release of disaster relief silver?"

"Yes, my lord!"

“Didn’t you say that we should let the affected counties find their own solutions?”

Shangguan Yuanji smiled bitterly. Tang Yin wanted to collect money from the large households in the affected counties to help the refugees, but those large households were also affected by the disaster. Even if the family had considerable savings, it was impossible to spend all of it. Shangguan Yuanji said: "The money collected by Lingdong and Lingnan counties is not much. It is a drop in the bucket and is far from enough to help the refugees. In addition, the food supply in the two counties has been cut off. If this continues, there will be big trouble." ”

Tang Yin sighed, pondered for a moment, and said, "Zhang Zhe!"

"I'm here!" Zhang Zhe hurriedly walked out.

Tang Yin asked: "How much silver is currently available in the treasury?"

Zhang Zhe swallowed, shook his head, and said, "There aren't many left."

Tang Yin rolled his eyes and asked, "How much is not more?"

Zhang Zhe whispered: "Less than a million taels."

"What? Less than a million?" When Tang Yin heard this, he almost couldn't believe his ears. Even when he was the county chief, the county treasury had millions of taels of silver. The majestic treasury actually had Not even one million taels? He stood and wandered back and forth beside the table. After walking for a while, he asked: "Where is the money? Where is the silver in the treasury?"

Tang Yin usually doesn't care about anything, especially government affairs, and has less contact with him. Generally, if Shangguan Yuanji can handle it, he will handle it directly and will not pass it on to Tang Yin. He has never paid much attention to the treasury. Now he heard that there is no one in the treasury Tang Yin was really anxious since he didn't even have a million taels of silver.

"Your Majesty, in the past two years, our country's courts have changed, monarchs have changed frequently, and wars have continued. The money in the treasury has been exhausted. How can there be any leftover money? When I was the imperial censor, there was not even ten silver in the treasury. Even if there is nothing..." At this point, Zhang Zhe paused and stopped talking.

Tang Yin said distractedly: "If you have anything to say, just say it in one go. Don't hesitate."

Zhang Zhe no longer hesitated and continued: "The king's increase in troops requires money, and the purchase and manufacture of armaments, military supplies, and war horses require money. Also, all the adults and generals have just been granted the title by the king, and everyone must build an official residence. , to build the house, and the king has approved it, all the silver needed comes from the treasury." As he spoke, he took a deep breath, glanced at Shangguan Yuanji from the corner of his eye, and continued: "It's just to build Shangguan. The prime minister’s right minister’s palace spent no less than three hundred thousand taels of silver.”

Hearing this, Tang Yin was secretly surprised. Yes, what Zhang Zhe said is indeed true. However, these adults and generals under his command can all be called the founding fathers of the country. They are all people who have made great contributions. They have become It is normal for ministers of the DPRK to build official residences, and I really can’t refuse!

In fact, if it was the founding of the country, it would not be a big deal for the founding fathers to build official residences on a large scale. However, the Feng State that Tang Yin took over was a mess riddled with holes. At this time, it was necessary to increase troops and spend huge sums of money to build residences. , the national treasury can no longer support it.

Zhang Zhe has never mentioned this matter. In his opinion, it is understandable for Tang Yin to do this, and it is also a manifestation of love and justice. Only a monarch who can treat his ministers well can be called a good monarch, and he should bear what he can bear. He tried his best to help Tang Yin bear the burden, but now there were floods in two counties of Feng State, and countless refugees were displaced. Moreover, judging from the situation, the floods were likely to turn into large-scale famine. The situation was serious, so he became worried and simply went to court in front of The Chinese military officer said directly what he had always wanted to say.

After Zhang Zhe finished speaking, there was silence in the hall, and many people slowly lowered their heads. At this time, Shangguan Yuanrang quit. He strode out and shouted angrily at Zhang Zhe: "Zhang Zhe, there are so many people building the official residence." , why do you criticize my elder brother? What are your intentions? "

Zhang Zhe's face turned pale and he said, "I'm just discussing the matter, and I don't mean to target anyone!"

Shangguan Yuanrang was still talking, but Shangguan Yuanji coughed, interrupted him, and said in a deep voice: "Yuanrang can't be rude to Mr. Zhang!" As he spoke, he turned around and bowed to Tang Yinshen, saying: "Your Majesty, the country is currently empty of power. It is indeed not the time to build a large-scale construction project. The minister's family also has considerable savings. It is no problem to buy a house in the capital. Please take back your order and build the Right Prime Minister's Palace. Let's discuss it later. !”

Even the dignified right minister Shangguan Yuanji took the initiative to stand up and push down the official residence under construction. The other civil servants and military generals dared to hesitate. People came out one after another, knelt down to Tang Yin, and said in unison: "Please take back your order." , the matter of building an official residence will be discussed later!”

Tang Yin looked at Shangguan Yuanji, then at the others, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

He walked down the king's steps, came to the ministers, helped everyone up one by one, and said quietly: "You have been following me in the north and south, through life and death, and I don't know how much blood and sweat you have shed. Now we have finally gathered together in the court." In the hall, as the king of a country, I still want you to live a life of poverty. This is my incompetence!"

This sentence almost made everyone present cry. The ministers who were helped up by Tang Yin all knelt down one after another, with tears in their eyes, and said in unison: "I am incompetent! I am incapable of solving the king's worries! "

Among all the voices, there was only one voice that was out of place, Zhang Zhe. Zhang Zhe knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and at the same time shouted at the top of his lungs: "I am Wang Shengming!"

Regardless of whether Tang Yin's words were sincere or intentional, the ministers were indeed deeply moved. They willingly stopped building houses and returned the money originally allocated by the treasury to the treasury. However, this does not mean that there is no doubt in everyone's hearts. Of course, people don't blame Tang Yin for the grudge. Almost all the unhappiness in their hearts is poured onto Zhang Zhe's head.

Zhang Zhe doesn't care what his colleagues think of him. He just wants to live with peace of mind and do what he thinks is right.

Zhang Zhe's insight brought Yancheng, which was undergoing major construction projects, back to its former peace. Regardless of whether they were civil servants or military generals, those with money would buy their own houses to live in, while those without money would rent houses. Anyway, they wanted to start from Zhang Zhe's place. It is already impossible to get money again.

Tang Yin looked sad and angry on the surface, but he was nodding secretly in his heart. He saved the ministers the cost of building official residences, which should make the national treasury abundant. He looked around at everyone and saw that everyone seemed a little depressed. Tang Yin smiled slightly and said, "Our country has many mountains and rivers and not much fertile land. Although we are poor, our neighbors are very rich!" As he spoke, Tang Yin turned around and saw He pointed at the map of Hedong still hanging on the wall and said: "There is a huge treasure basin there. As long as we conquer Hedong, all the food and treasure there will be ours. By then, let alone building a right Even building ten or a hundred houses for the Prime Minister’s Mansion is more than enough!”

His words lifted everyone's spirits. People raised their heads and looked at the map of Hedong with bright eyes.

Tang Yin said slowly: "What Zhong Tian left us is a court that is completely impoverished. Therefore, what we want, we have to plunder with our own hands. We also have to create glory and wealth with our own hands!"

"Your Majesty, attack Hedong!"

Seeing that everyone was so excited, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji naturally did not waste this excellent opportunity. They both knelt down and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty! Fight against Hedong——"

"Your Majesty! Fight against Hedong——"

The prime ministers on the left and right took the lead, and the civil and military officials below also shouted in unison.

Tang Yin has a flexible mind and quick thinking. As long as there is an opportunity, he can firmly grasp it and turn the factors that are unfavorable to him into factors that are beneficial to him. The withdrawal of the money used by the ministers to build their official residences not only did not arouse the dissatisfaction and rejection of the ministers, but also completely aroused everyone's enthusiasm to seize the Hedong area.

This is Tang Yin's ability.

After the court was over, Tang Yin returned to his study. Before his buttocks felt hot, a guard came to report that he was happy to see him.

When he heard that Letian was coming, Tang Yin suddenly lit up with joy and without even thinking about it, he said, "Let Letian come here quickly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The guard agreed and hurried out.

Not long after, Letian came closer from outside. Before he could speak, Tang Yin couldn't wait to ask: "But has Wang Fang sent back the news?"

Letian was startled, almost doubting whether Tang Yin could predict the future. He nodded, stepped in to salute, and said, "The general has just received a letter from Lord Wang."

"Bring it to me quickly." Wang Fang was the historian sent to Duji by Tang Yin. His reply was crucial to the joint battle between Fengguo and Duji.

Lotte did not dare to delay and hurriedly took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Tang Yin. The letter Wang Fang sent back was a letter sent by Fei Ge, and of course it would not be that big. The content was written by Lotte based on the letter sent by Fei Ge. First, the letter was too small and looked laborious. Second, many of the contents in it were. Tang Yin couldn't understand the language inside Tianyan.

Unfolding the letter, Tang Yin read the contents from beginning to end. Then, he burst into laughter, slapped the letter on the table, and said, "The big deal is done!"
