After one wave of recession, Qin Liuxi originally planned to summon the Ghost King and explain the matter of finding Shi Jing and then it was over. However, he didn't expect that he would learn from the Eastern Ghost King and the others that the other two southwest ghost kings fell into the hands of Shi Luo.

There will be a major battle in the northwest now, but there is a ghost tower over there that is caught in the soul, and this wave will probably kill many people.

Qin Liuxi immediately used a technique, turned a paper crane into Beijing to send a message. When he went back to see the scene, he ate a handful of blood-raising pill, took some yellow paper, and hurriedly left under the resentful eyes of the people in the audience, followed the Eastern Ghost King to the northwest.

The time gate is almost November, and natural disasters are frequent this year, and the weather is extremely reactionary. Not to mention that in the south, it is still raining heavily in various places during the harvest in October and autumn, and mountain torrents have occurred in Lingnan. Outsiders do not know the cause, so they can only think that the weather is abnormal. Because of this, it seems that early winter has begun in the north. People in Shengjing have already put on thin jackets, and sooner or later they have to wear cloaks to keep the cold.

Ordinary people are worried and depressed. After the snow disaster last year, life has not been better. It has become cold so early this year. Could it be that a more severe snow disaster than last year?

With this worry, they did not dare to waste food at will, and even wanted to stock up on some food alertly, but found that the prices of grain in the city had risen so much that they could not reach. Because there were too many natural disasters this year, there were too many droughts and droughts, and floods. Not to mention the various diseases caused by improper handling of natural disasters, there were more beggars and refugees in Shengjing than in previous years.

Various reasons have caused the sharp drop in grain output, and grain prices have naturally risen. In addition to grain prices, the prices of salt and oil are also rising.

No matter how ignorant the people are, they can see that this year will not be a good year. When the weather is early cold, they can't help but put in full force to stock up on food and keep cold.

The lower-class people already had this concern, so the officials of the court even had even more headaches. Among the six ministries, if they don’t mention who is the worst, they are all like cats.

This year, due to natural disasters and epidemics, grain production has decreased and prices have been high. The tax revenues in various places are naturally not as good as before. They still have to continue to spend, such as disaster relief, such as allocating funds to control water, and the Ministry of War requires military pay and military supplies.

It can be said that the Ministry of Revenue, which is in charge of the treasury, the amount of hair for each adult is decreasing day by day, and the black green in his eyes is getting worse and worse, and they are worried about money. There is no money or food, and I feel so nervous.

The Ministry of War is also bald, and all regions have to pay military pay and military supplies. The national treasury has not had much money yet. It is coming winter again, and the weather has changed a lot this year. The Imperial Heaven Supervision said that this winter will be a cold winter, and the soldiers stationed in the border must not add cold clothes to pay military pay as soon as possible?

What, if you don’t have money, if you don’t pay the military salary, you will force someone to change. Who can afford it?

The Ministry of War is talking to the Ministry of Revenue every day and asks them to hold charity auctions to make money, but such things are called fresh once or twice. If there are too many, everyone will know that it is obvious that there is no money and they want to get everyone's money. The situation is difficult, so they dare not take the blame!

As for the Ministry of Justice, it also has a headache. The so-called country is prosperous and the people are prosperous and the country is prosperous and the people are safe and sound. People have houses, food, and farming, and live and work in peace and contentment. Who would be the despised bandit?

However, natural disasters occur frequently, many refugees are forced to become bandits, and some mobs even commit crimes brutality, and even the prison of the Ministry of Justice cannot hold on.

The Ministry of Industry also said that water management and water conservancy also require money. Without it, nothing can be afforded.

The Ministry of Personnel is busy working on corrupt officials, catching typical officials, and evaluating and transferring them to all officials.

The Ministry of Rites is probably the most idle, because this year the empress dowager died and the prince was deposed, the saint did not hold any state banquet for a long birthday, and the concubines in the harem dared not hold any future generations. Even the sacrifices are simple.

But who can tell them why the saint suddenly wanted to sacrifice to God? Is it not worth it to sacrifice to heaven? The bigger the situation at this level, the more it is, the more it is to waste the people and money.

But offering sacrifices to heaven is about the people, who dares to say that this is inappropriate?

Therefore, the court every day was like a vegetable market, and the topics discussed in various memorials could not escape the word "money". For this damn Ah Du, those gentle officials who usually talked about money as dirt just rolled up their sleeves and ripped their hair with their opponents.

It is winter coming, and the prices outside are rising and it is cold again. If there is another heavy snow disaster, it will be a fatal disaster, especially in the war. Then everyone is strangling their belts, right?

However, there is a saying that what you are afraid of will come. Lin Xiang said in the morning that small wars occurred frequently on the northwest border, and foreign tribes tried several times that they might enter the pass to grab grain and materials for the winter. After all, the disaster was not only the Central Plains, but also the grasslands died of drought and dead grass. The rats and insects seriously damaged the grass, making the animal husbandry unfavorable. There was no food, so they could only go to the pass to grab it.

When I heard that I was going to fight, everyone was irritated. How could I fight those who were short of money and goods?

Lin Xiang also felt extremely bald. God knew how shocked he was when he saw a flying paper crane spitting words at him. He almost frightened, but what was even more shocked was the message conveyed by the paper crane.

The Northwest War is coming.

When the national treasury is empty, it is a disaster.

In fact, if Qin Liuxi doesn't say it, he feels like a country is about to be in chaos. After all, the national fortunes are getting worse this year, and disasters are coming. No matter how full the treasury is, it can't stand it, let alone it is not full.

The situation is difficult, and he will inevitably think that foreign enemies will take advantage of the situation. Whether it is because of disaster or coveting it for a long time, this is an excellent opportunity. After all, it is already so difficult inside the pass, let alone outside the pass.

As the saying goes, a person will have immediate worries without long-term contemplation. He is in a high position and has long seen this big hidden danger, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Just as Lin Xiang said that the memorial that war might start in the northwest in the morning court, eight hundred miles were rushed into the court the next day. Yangguan was attacked by foreign races and seized a city. Our army was killed and injured 5,000 people. When the foreign race attacked into the city, Liu An, the defending general, was drinking in the Hualou with several subordinates that night, but he missed the military opportunity and caused the city to fall.

The whole court was in an uproar.

Then Liu An was a cousin of King Zhao, the eldest son of the Liu family, the head of the Shuntian Prefecture Chief of the dynasty, and the nephew of Concubine Shu.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! King Zhao blanched his face on the spot and immediately knelt down to admit his mistake. He lost the city for the pleasure of women. This crime is so serious. He finally arranged this guy to the Northwest Army. Before he could use him, he was dragged down first. This idiot!

General Quan was so angry that his face turned pale. He had been guarding the northwest for many years, but he had never tried to lose the city. In order to reassure the saint, he returned to the capital to Rongyang. In just two years, he lost a town.

He had known for a long time that these young men could only work hard on women. When they really came to the battlefield, they were useless and they only knew how to grab the merits and get the power.

Pooh!

The old general Quan had a sharp eagle-eyed look. He glanced at King Zhao and asked the saint to fight. He would definitely beat the Turkic ghost back to his grandma's house and regain Dafeng's territory without losing a city or a town.

The saint stared at King Zhao as if he had ice. He was about to go to sacrifice to the sky, but now he came and urgently reported that a war broke out in the northwest and a city had been lost. If the troops were not sent to retake it, wouldn't he be a coward?

But when war is not carried out, food and grass will take action first. This year, natural disasters occur frequently, and the cost of grain harvest is not good. If you still have to fight, where can you get money?

He held a sacrifice to heaven and asked for a large sum of money. He used money everywhere. Who gave it?

The person who lost the city was King Zhao's cousin. Even if Liu An was not killed, he would have sent someone to dismember him from his body. Now that the person is dead, it is just right that his home is being confiscated to replenish the national treasury.

The saint first scolded King Zhao and then issued an order. Liu An, as the chief general, dereliction of duty and licentious women, led to the loss of the city, and the soldiers were tragically killed and sentenced to whip the corpse. The Liu Mansion Chief did not strictly educate his children. During his tenure, he used his power to be corrupt and dismissed and whipped thirty years ago. The men of the Liu family were exiled for 3,000 miles, and the female relatives were all official prostitutes, and their property was confiscated into the national treasury to compensate the soldiers who died in battle.

King Zhao's face was pale. Just forget about the family being confiscated and exiled. The female family was regarded as official prostitutes. Among them was his aunt. The father did not leave any face for him, nor did he leave it for his mother's clan Dingxi Marquis' Mansion.

It was not over yet. The saint asked him to lead the team to confiscate the Liu family. He also said, "I heard that some merchants gave more than 500,000 taels of gold and silver to please Mrs. Liu, and he wanted to see the bribes without leaving any left."

King Zhao shook his body. He knew in his heart whether the Liu family had so much money. But his father said that he had, so he had to have it. This was not enough. Whoever filled it, naturally he was appointed as the "heavy task".

Who said that the treasury is empty and worried about money, and his mother-in-law just hit the iron plate. Who else can he catch if he doesn't catch him?

The money is still a little bit, which makes my father disgusted. Does that great throne have any chance?

When the Ministry of Revenue heard the house being raided, Qian Shangshu immediately winked at his subordinates. Cui Shixue immediately stood up and expressed his rebukes against Liu An indignation. Then he was willing to follow King Zhao to search the house with Liu's house, and he would definitely be included in the treasury without any copper coins left.

Killing someone to kill your heart!

King Zhao glared at the Cui surnamed hatefully, because he was afraid that he would show mercy to the Liu family in private and hide his belongings.

Cui Shixue only thought that his eyes were not there, just kidding, 500,000 taels were enough to fall into the treasury without missing a single thing. Especially when fighting, if you don’t make more money to fill the treasury, they will really be bald.

He wished that the saint would have more corrupt officials and more raided houses. He was familiar with the matter of raiding houses.

King Zhao wanted to say that he would not bother the Ministry of Revenue and would definitely supervise it well, and it also showed that he would not be involved in the country's sinners.

But the saint agreed.

Compared to the Liu family, he values ​​money more. Who knows if the second child will pity the Liu family. He will leave something with his eyes open and close. Cui Shixue stares at it.

As for the lost city, he issued an order to serve as the main general, send troops to Yangguan to take back the city.

General Quan's face looked a little ugly. It's nothing to call his grandson to go to war, but the military supplies are at least released first. If there are no such things, how can we fight? Especially when the weather is cold, the soldiers are not full, they are weak and they can't even run away. Are they still fart?

Lin Xiang inadvertently looked at Qi Qian, and then raised food, grass and military supplies, especially when he had just lost a battle and lost the city, he wanted to improve morale, so that they felt that the court had not given up every city in the northwest, so the supplies and food must be sent to the northwest to stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale.

Qi Qian also left the line and bowed, "Emperor, I am willing to suppress the army and travel west, help my good man from Dafeng to regain Dafeng's territory, and to expand the territory and protect the mountains and rivers for the emperor."

King Zhao thrust his face a few times. Good guy, this dead bastard will get on with the opportunity. Who would believe it if he dares to say that he is not a wolfish ambition?

The saint looked at Qi Qian's face and could vaguely find a familiar shadow from his facial features. At this time, he looked at his righteous and determined look, then he looked at the dick kneeling on the ground grinding his teeth, and the third child standing in the team wandering outside the sky, his head was jumping around.

He thought of what Rufei mentioned recently that she wanted to adopt the child in her name and was suppressed by him.

This child is also his cub.

The saint didn't know what he thought, so he agreed, so he ordered the Ministry of Revenue to cooperate with him, and then asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare for sacrifice to heaven. He insisted on going.

Qian Shangshu: Why don’t we copy a few more? Five hundred thousand taels are really not enough!

After the court dispersed, King Zhao walked to Qi Qian and sneered: "You really won't miss any chance."

Qi Qian said lightly: "When my second brother searches the house, don't show mercy, otherwise the saint will ask you to supplement more. After all, Liu An lost a city, and five thousand soldiers died."

"You!" King Zhao was so angry that he jumped.

Qi Qian bowed and was about to leave, but was stopped by the general manager beside the saint, and the saint invited him.

King Zhao looked at Qi Qian towards Zhongqin Palace, and his face turned black in an instant. But the ghostly Cui Shixue came over and urged him to search the house.

Damn, they are all bastards!

Not far away, Qi San, King Cheng, bumped into his cousin Lu Xun beside him and said, "Brother Xun, do you think the second brother and Haoran are weird? These two people are becoming increasingly incompatible."

Lu Xun's eyes flashed and he said, "You are actually good to be a wealthy and leisure king. If you don't compete for that position, you may be able to live for a long time." No need to worry.

The prince was demoted, and the saints and princes were the second and third princes. The rest were either dead or just a few years old, which was useless.

But in fact, there is an adult, and his height is becoming more and more saints. The one in the palace still wants to adopt him.

Oh.

Isn’t it just right to adopt it?

King Cheng said, "Brother Xun, I think you look down on me. Do you think I am useless?"

"no!"

King Cheng grinned and was about to say something, but he heard him say, "You are not the best person."

The people and things he found were all connected to Qi Qian, and it was really chasing the rhythm of feeding!

King Cheng was not convinced. He was a serious dragon boy, so he was also called a bad life?

Even so, it must be bad for those charlatans.

Lu Xun looked towards Zhongqin Palace, and it seemed that he had to go back to talk to his mother. The current team was already clear.

There were all the troubles in the court. Qin Liuxi knew something through the puppet national master who stayed in the palace, but he didn't care. He just said that the saint was going to do his own thing to sacrifice the heaven that was exhausting the people and hurting money. She glanced at Di Xing and frowned.

The Emperor Star is dark and unclear, this is the rhythm of being unlucky, and he is trying to commit suicide.

If you don’t advise the damn, he will take care of everything himself.
