Chapter 243 There is a way

"Everyone is free of charge." The emperor walked past the crowd.

At this time, the little queen also stood up and sat down a seat, giving up her original seat.

The little emperor spoke in a very affectionate tone: "I just finished approving the memorial and wanted to see if there is anything to eat here."

"You." The Queen Mother smiled and shook her head, but she was also afraid that her son would be hungry, so she asked someone to bring some snacks, "It's almost time to have lunch now. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself now."

Seeing that the family of three was enjoying themselves happily, Mrs. Zhao asked with a wink to leave.

The Queen Mother did not ask too much, after all, her son was the most important thing.

The two of them quickly left the palace.

Tang Luoyu breathed a sigh of relief when he got into his carriage.

"Are you scared?" Mrs. Zhao looked at her with a smile, "Aren't you very courageous?"

Seeing that the young emperor was silent, the regent hurriedly continued: "It's not that I think building the dam is unimportant. It's just that the autumn harvest is coming soon. It's better to wait until the weather gets colder and build it during the slack period, so that we can recruit people."

Although the imperial dynasty did not prohibit women from reading, there were differences between men and women, and there were very few female gentlemen who could read and write, let alone someone as stunningly talented as the master's wife.

"Alas..." the little emperor sighed, "Then for the sake of the common people, I can only use my internal funds."

He understood that the little emperor must want to cultivate, otherwise he would not ask himself and Jing Xiang to come.

Since the two came here in the Tang family's carriage, Tang Luoyu sent Mrs. Zhao home first, and then turned back.

"Brother, will you stay for dinner today?" The Queen Mother was obviously very happy to see her brother.

Hearing that the emperor was going to use his own small treasury to build the dam, the regent also realized that the emperor could not repair the dam.

"Uncle, if we don't build dams before the autumn floods, how many people will suffer from floods if the Yellow River bursts?" The little emperor was naturally unwilling, and argued hard.

Tang Luoyu looked at Mrs. Zhao in confusion: "Sister, did you know the Queen Mother before?"

Later, I realized that the Queen Mother seemed to be about the same age as Mrs. Zhao, so there seemed to be no problem for the two of them to know each other.

"Sister, please stop laughing at me," Tang Luoyu patted her chest, "I always feel that the Queen Mother's attitude is a bit strange."

Still couldn't help but want to look at Jing Shan, but Jing Shan shook his head incomprehensibly.

the other side.

"By the way," the little emperor obviously didn't take the regent's rejection to heart, so he asked, "What do you think of the cement that Xue Qing developed a few days ago?"

But doesn’t that mean that the Mrs. Zhao in front of her was once a close friend of the Queen Mother?

"Don't think too much." Mrs. Zhao knew that she must have filled up a lot of things in her head, so she explained, "She just studied with my mother for a while before entering the palace, which was only more than three months, and then she entered the palace.

.”

"It is indeed a good thing." Even the regent had to admit that the cement made by Xue Lince was indeed very effective. "It just needs to be tried again."

It's just that the regent didn't notice his sister's little movements.

"Cheng Yuanshou! What are you looking at!" The regent spoke a little loudly, but after realizing that this was the imperial study room, he lowered his voice, "Your Majesty is asking you, what are you looking at?"

After lunch, the regent went to the imperial study with the emperor.

The regent frowned slightly: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, your Majesty will stay with me to eat."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance could only bite the bullet and said: "The national treasury is empty and it may be difficult to support it."

But he didn't want to take the initiative to admit defeat, so he could only stand there with his neck stiffened and said nothing.

Tang Luoyu's expression was slightly disappointed, as if she wanted to know the gossip but was not satisfied.

Mrs. Zhao nodded, with some reminiscence and helplessness on her face: "She used to study with my mother at my house."

The Queen Mother was obviously dissatisfied when she heard the Prince Regent calling himself this, but she didn't dare to say it directly, so she could only curl her lips slightly.

He looked at his brother and shook his head slightly.

The Minister of Household Affairs was a little embarrassed by the regent. He looked at his immediate superior for help, indicating that he couldn't stand it and that you, the boss, would have to deal with it.

So he sent someone to call Jingshan and the Minister of Hubu.

The queen sitting aside seemed not to have heard anything, and was looking at the tea leaves in the tea cup in her hand.

On the way back, I bumped into Mrs. Zhang, but seeing how hurried she was, I didn't stop her.

"Your Majesty, it's not time to use internal funds." Jingshan said at this time, "Actually, I have a plan, I don't know whether I should tell it or not."

"This," Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance was a little flustered, and his voice trembled when he spoke, "this..."

Tang Luoyu stuck out her tongue at her.

He didn't understand what Jingshan meant, but suddenly he remembered that the regent wanted to use troops against the north. Under Jingshan's instruction, he cried out.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance has some methods.

But the regent must not want to, otherwise he would not be here and still staring at him.

After Tang Luoyu and Mrs. Zhao left, the Regent also came to the Queen Mother's Palace.

Mrs. Zhao reached out and knocked her on the head.

Mrs. Zhao sighed: "Yes, she has always been like this, willful and conceited. Now that she has a distinguished status, she will not directly embarrass others, but she cannot change the arrogance in her bones."

If he now says that he has money to build a dam, the regent will definitely kill him later.

"I deeply feel that the cement made by Xue Qing is a good thing, and I want to build the dam before the autumn floods." The emperor looked at the Minister of Revenue, "Can the Ministry of Revenue support the cost of building the dam now?"

"My uncle is overly worried. I think this thing is very wonderful and should be promoted as soon as possible to benefit the people." The little emperor smiled, "Why don't we arrange to build the dam before the autumn floods and put it to use."

"Okay, it's time to have dinner. If you have any questions, you can go to the imperial study room to talk about it after dinner." The Queen Mother saw that the two were about to quarrel, so she stopped them.

"You little girl, don't you know what you should and shouldn't ask?"

As to whether there is any remaining money in the treasury, you have to ask the Minister of Transfer Affairs about this matter.

The Prince Regent was furious when he saw the look in his eyes.

The regent was horrified when he heard this: "Your Majesty, think twice. When I asked you to send troops to the north, the Ministry of Household Affairs came out to cry for poverty. The treasury is empty. How can you have so much money to build dams?"

After all, this is not the first time he has done this.

"What do you care about buying and selling at this time?" The regent saw Jing Shan and wanted to give him a hammer.

This man is just smiling and looking at people like a fox. The more I look at him, the more annoying he becomes.

"Oh? There's a way to look at the scenery? Then tell me." The emperor didn't feel the gaze from his uncle at all.

"It's Yiren that His Majesty just sealed."
