How many?

These two words not only echoed in the hearts of the ministers, but also blurted out directly by many people.

Emperor Xingyuan also looked surprised: "How much does Aiqing say you want to donate?"

All the ministers pouted.

 Just now it was "Duan Shaoqing", now it is "Aiqing".

Under countless scorching eyes, Duan Shaoqing said loudly: "Four hundred thousand taels of silver."

 It was impossible to keep it anyway, so I donated it all immediately.

 Humbling discussions rang out, and Duan Shaoqing's ears were sharp, and he heard several words scolding him.

 He understands. If it were someone else who took the initiative to donate so much, he would also want to scold him.

 But there’s nothing we can do about it!

The corner of his eye swept over the calm-looking girl, and Duan Shaoqing sighed in his heart.

Emperor Xingyuan showed a moved expression: "I am very pleased that Duan Aiqing has served the country and the people so well!"

"It is the duty of a minister to share the worries of the king. Moreover, this is the family property left by the minister's niece. It can be used to help the victims. It is a blessing for her and the minister's family." Duan Shaoqing said beautiful words, but he was speechless in his heart.

The ministers offered to donate a huge sum of money, but the emperor actually did not refuse at all.

Of course Emperor Xingyuan would not refuse.

Ayou said that Kou Qingqing lost his life in his grandfather’s family because of his huge family wealth. I think that poor girl is well-informed and would rather use her family's wealth to do good deeds instead of leaving it to the Duan family.

However, Duan Wensong is so sensible and stood up when he was having a headache for disaster relief in Bian Town. He can give him a little better face in the future.

"With this kind money, the people in Bian Town who were affected by the snow disaster can be properly resettled." Emperor Xingyuan looked pleased and thought for a while, "Although Duan Aiqing donated the family wealth on behalf of his niece not for fame and fortune, I can't live without it. Say. Let’s do this. Kou Qingqing, the niece of Taipu Temple Shaoqing Duan Wensong, will be granted the title of Princess Qingning, and she will be buried as a princess."

Duan Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

 There was an unexpected surprise.

The deceased niece was posthumously granted the title of princess. It seemed that the Shaoqing Mansion did not receive any benefits, but this was not the case.

There is no one left in the Kou family. People in the capital know about Miss Kou because of the Shaoqing Mansion. If the niece receives this favor from the emperor, the world will at least show some respect to the Shaoqing Mansion.

False fame is also a name, it is better than paying out 400,000 taels without even getting a splash.

"Do you have any objections?" Emperor Xingyuan slowly glanced at the ministers.

 Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Who dares to have any objections? What should I do if I raise my voice in front of the emperor and be squeezed by the emperor to donate money?

Xin You echoed, raising the corners of his lips.

She went to Duan Shaoqing yesterday and suggested that he donate Kou Qingqing's family fortune this morning. Firstly, in order to solve the problems at hand as soon as possible so that he could concentrate on implementing the New Deal, and secondly, to let more people know Kou Qingqing and make Kou Qingqing a better person. Posthumous name.

The small tomb that was not even dared to erect a monument at first will be replaced by the princess's tomb, and a monument will be erected to remember it. Thousands of years later, people will still know that a girl named Kou Qingqing once came to this world.

 Duan Shaoqing returned to the queue and glanced at Xin You quietly.

The emperor’s pursuit of Qingqing, could he be part of this girl’s plot?

Xin You turned her head and smiled at him.

Duan Shaoqing hurriedly looked away.

 Stay away from this girl from now on!

When the disaster relief work in Bianzhen came to an end, Emperor Xingyuan cleared his throat and spoke: "Yesterday I was troubled by the empty treasury. Xin Daizhao proposed a fundamental solution."

 The ministers immediately concentrated and held their breath, waiting for the next step.

Emperor Xingyuan looked at Xin You: "Xin Daizhao, please tell me."

There is no doubt that the New Deal will offend the wealthy officials, gentry, and wealthy people. He originally did not want to directly push Ayou to the front. But thinking about it again, this is what Ayou wants to do. She has not hidden it from the beginning, so why should he look forward and backward? Heads were falling to the ground in the West Market. If some people want to hurt Ayou, they should think carefully about it.

With everyone's attention, Xin You stood up generously: "I mentioned yesterday that in order to replenish the national treasury and reduce the burden on the people, there is a feasible strategy, which is to spread the land into acres and cancel the head tax..."

He Qingxiao, who was standing in the team, looked attentively, looking at the girl who was chatting.

Every word she said fell heavily on the hearts of the ministers. Some were annoyed, while others were thinking. When he finished speaking, there was silence in the hall.

Emperor Xingyuan spoke: "Yesterday, I summoned all the ministers to discuss this matter at the Qianqing Palace. The top priority is to measure the acres of land and select several fertile lands in the north and south to try out the new policy."

When the ministers heard this, they looked at the six ministers and nine ministers.

Don’t any of these adults have any backbone?

The minister who was summoned yesterday was in trouble.

Can the emperor speak clearly? It seems that they are eager to implement the New Deal!

"Implementing the New Deal is a major national event and cannot be ignored. I wonder which of your beloved ministers is willing to take on this important task?" Emperor Xingyuan asked warmly.

 He naturally has a preference in his heart.

Implementing the New Deal is not only a major event, but also a difficult one. There will definitely be many difficulties and even **** conflicts.

The best people to go are distinguished military generals. These people have been on the battlefield and seen blood. If they really encounter someone who is stubborn, they will kill them. Furthermore, most of the distinguished generals were from similar backgrounds to him and did not have deep interests involved in the place where the New Deal was to be tried.

 A supervisory censor with a clean and upright style is also indispensable.

 As Emperor Xingyuan asked questions, the hall suddenly became quiet.

Most officials are unwilling to do so. If it hadn't been for the warning of beheading, I would have jumped up and opposed it a long time ago. Who would have rushed to implement it?

 The very few who were not opposed to the New Deal were also worried about the consequences of offending many colleagues and wealthy gentry.

 Being remembered by these people and never knowing when it will be included in a book does not mean living in fear.

He Qingxiao stood up and said loudly: "I am willing to give it a try."

As soon as Emperor Xingyuan saw He Qingxiao standing up, a smile appeared on his lips: "I am very relieved that Marquis Changle is willing to share my worries."

He Qingxiao was a noble person and was in charge of Beizhen Fusi. Emperor Xingyuan thought he was a suitable candidate.

 “I am also willing to contribute to the New Deal.” The second person to stand up was He Yushi.

Emperor Xingyuan nodded with satisfaction: "Accurate."

 The trial area is divided into north and south, which requires at least two chief officials. Emperor Xingyuan looked at the others.

Yong Anbo stood up and said, "I am also willing to go."

Yong Anbo's initiative to apply for the imperial examination surprised the ministers.

Yong Anbo was the brother-in-law of Xie Zhangyuan, and he was an outstanding young general among the group of military generals who followed Emperor Xingyuan to conquer the world. Now he is in his early forties. The former young general has become a member of the noble family. It is in the prime of life.

Xin You couldn't help but glance at Xie Zhangyuan.

 Xie Zhangyuan lowered his head slightly, making it difficult to see his expression.

"Okay, okay. Marquis Changle is in charge of the cities in the south, and Bo Yong'an is in charge of the cities in the north. We will set off in three days."

 Three days from now?

The emperor is really impatient.

 Then Emperor Xingyuan appointed some more adjutants and announced the disbandment of the dynasty.

 The ministers walked out in silence, obviously keeping a distance from He Qingxiao, Yong Anbo and others.

Xin You, however, walked over directly and invited: "Master He and uncle, if you are free at the office today, I will invite you two to tea."
