Chapter 141 My 26 Male Servant 16

Yao Shu sent Jiu Ximing away, covered herself with a quilt and went to sleep.

the next morning.

Yao Shu summoned Rang Xingyan's sister Rang Xingheng and asked her to kneel in the middle of the Yangxin Palace and salute Yao Shu: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Well, sit down."

Let Xingheng stand up and sit on the chair that Qi An brought over, and Le Xin also considerately brought her some hot wine.

Yao Shu asked: "I heard recently that the Jiang family is looking for their ancestors. I wonder if they have found them?"

"Your Majesty, not yet." Rang Xingheng answered honestly: "I have been looking for close relatives in the capital these days, but still found nothing."

"Your brother has married into the imperial palace, so you can be considered half my relative."

Ran Xingheng smiled and said, "I am just taking advantage of my brother's fame. It is my blessing to be remembered by your majesty."

Yao Shu supported her head with her right hand and said with a hint of distress, "It must be really lonely for you to come to the capital alone.

But I am busy with government affairs and cannot take care of him every day, so I want you to move to the capital to accompany your brother."

Xingheng frowned and was about to speak, but Yao Shu spoke first, "I will give you a sinecure in Kyoto. Although it is not a high-ranking position, it is still enough to make a living."

Xing Heng's eyes lit up, and she humbly replied, "It is my honor to help Your Majesty solve his problems, but I cannot hold this position in vain."

Yao Shu curled her lips, "Oh? Then how do you want me to deal with this?"

"Your Majesty, I am from a merchant family, and being able to become a palace attendant is the greatest ability I have.

Today, I am grateful to Your Majesty for helping me to become a higher official. I will naturally offer you 30 million taels of silver to thank you for your great grace."

Let Xing Heng pick up the wine glass and toast Yao Shu, "Your Majesty, I'd like to toast you first." After saying that, let Xing Heng drink it all in one gulp.

When Yao Shu heard the number 30 million taels, she almost couldn't hold back her expression.

This sister is really rich and generous. She just took out thirty million taels of silver as she said.

Yao Shu tried hard not to laugh, picked up the wine glass and toasted Xingheng.

"Since you are so sincere, I will certainly not let you down."

Yao Shu looked at Gu Yuan, who saluted and said, "I am here."

"Appoint Langguan Rang Xingheng as the fifth-rank official and the Minister of the Chancellery, and he will take office today."

Xing Heng was overjoyed when she heard this. She walked to the middle and bowed to Yao Shu to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

……

One morning.

Yao Shu sat on the dragon throne and proposed the idea of ​​a southern expedition: "My dear ministers, I am ready to lead the army to attack the State of Chu."

When Shupinling heard this, he frowned and walked in the middle to make a report: "Your Majesty, the national strength is average now, it is not appropriate to send troops to fight."

Yao Shu smiled. She knew that Jiang Xi’s party would come out to stop them. Fortunately, she was prepared.

Yao Shu said, "A few days ago, I asked your sister Xing Heng to give me 30 million taels of silver to support the southern expedition. You don't need to worry, my dear."

The officials below were talking about it. It was not something an ordinary merchant could do to take out 30 million taels of silver at once.

Shu Pinling was suddenly speechless and could only suppress his anger and retreat back to his original position.

Yao Shu looked at the officials below with a little pride. This time no one opposed her request.

"His Majesty."

Yao Shu:......

When she said nothing.

An official walked to the middle and saluted. Yao Shu saw the other person's face clearly. It was Lan Jintong, the price stabilization official, who was in charge of price balance.

"Your Majesty, war is a waste of money and resources. If we go to war, taxes will naturally increase, and the people below will not be able to bear it."

Lan Jintong reported to Yao Shu, and pointed out in no uncertain terms the disadvantages of Yao Shu sending troops to fight.

Yao Shu suddenly had an idea, and she seemed to have thought of a good way to deal with Jiang Lu.

Wu Muying walked to the middle and refuted Lan Jintong: "I do not agree with Lan Zhunling's opinion.

First of all, this is an extraordinary period. If Your Majesty does not attack the State of Chu, the State of Yan will seize the opportunity and attack the State of Chu first.

Secondly, we can attack the State of Chu by fighting to support the war, and we don't necessarily have to mistreat the people by raising taxes.

Third, as a civil servant, why are you joining in the fun? "

Hearing this, Lan Jintong sneered, "It is well known that war costs money, do you think I don't understand this?

Besides, you can’t guarantee the survival and safety of the people.”

Jiu Ximing stood up and refuted Lan Jintong: "The country is stable now. Even if taxes are raised, the people will only complain a few times, and they will not go to the extent of rebellion."

Lan Jintong frowned, "Your Majesty, if the war lasts for a long time, the people below will naturally respond."

Yao Shu shook her head and said, "When I was young, I followed my mother to fight on the battlefield. I understand this principle. If there is not enough money, I will naturally stop fighting and raise troops."

Lan Jintong opened his mouth, but finally had to compromise and bowed and returned to his seat.

The night before conscription.

Fu Beimin came to the Yangxin Palace to visit Yao Shu. Yao Shu saw Fu Beimin put down his brush and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping so late?"

Fu Beimin asked the male slave to take the food box and said, "You will leave tomorrow, so I will come to visit you."

"You can actually come and see me tomorrow. You don't have to come so late at night. It's not good for your health if you don't go to bed early."

Fu Beimin took out the pastries and gave them to Yao Shu. Yao Shu asked system 666 to scan them before taking a bite.

"Hmm... it's quite delicious."

Yao Shu sincerely praised Fu Beimin's cooking skills. Fu Beimin smiled shyly and continued to feed Yao Shu cakes.

Yao Shu felt a little uncomfortable, but she still chose to pretend to finish the pastries.

I feel so full. Today, including Feng Jun, there are seven servants bringing cakes and soup to Yao Shu.

These servants are so damn annoying.

Fu Beimin rested his head on Yao Shu's shoulder, and Yao Shu hugged Fu Beimin tenderly.

Fu Beimin winked at the male slave, and the male slave left the Yangxin Palace without saying a word.

When Yao Shu saw the male slave leaving, she intentionally let go of Fu Beimin's hand, and Fu Beimin felt disappointed.

Yao Shu said gently: "It's late, Feng Jun, please go back quickly. I still have government affairs to attend to."

"...Yes, then your majesty should rest early."

"Ah."

Fu Beimin left reluctantly, and Yao Shu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him leave.

Almost fell asleep again.

Qi An was a little puzzled when he saw this. Why did His Majesty hate these servants so much?

"Qi An, Qi An?"

Yao Shu called out to Qi An, and Le Xin, who was standing next to her, patted Qi An with her hand and warned him fiercely: "The emperor is looking for you, and you are in a daze while serving him in front of the emperor!"

Qi An suddenly came back to his senses and quickly came to Yao Shu to plead guilty: "I beg your pardon."

Yao Shu said indifferently: "It's okay, I'm tired, help me tidy up the desk."

"Yes."

Yao Shu came to the side hall, and Le Xin helped Yao Shu undress, took off her shoes, and lay on the dragon couch to sleep.

tomorrow morning.

Yao Shu, wearing the silver armor that shone with cold light, appeared in front of all the officials and soldiers in a heroic manner.

The red cloth strips danced in the air like burning flames, fluttering in the wind, and were particularly eye-catching.
