Zhang Shoulin was quick to do things, and after receiving the order, he left Cheng'en Palace.

Li Feng sighed and leaned his head on the chair: "Wei Dongting, what do you think of this person?"

"This son is smart and decisive, and his life experience is innocent. Your Highness can reuse it!"

While speaking, an old man dressed in black and hunched in figure appeared in front of Li Feng.

"Wei Dongting, you are old too."

"Although I am old, I can still clear all obstacles for Your Highness!"

This old man seems mediocre, but he has an unconcealable aura.

If Zhao Kang was present, he would definitely recognize the identity of the old man: the eunuch in the former chief of the Dagan Empire, Wei Dongting!

Although Youzhou is under the jurisdiction of the capital, there has been no prince here for many years.

There are only two reasons: one is that the bitter cold in the extreme north, but the war is endless.

Youzhou is located in the north, unlike the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The water conservancy here is very scarce and agricultural production cannot be guaranteed.

The Dagan Empire established its destiny for farming and set its capital in Jinling in its early years.

As for Youzhou, although it is barren and scarce, it occupies a dangerous terrain, not only adjacent to South Korea and North Korea, but also plays a role in fighting against the nomadic peoples in the north.

Once Youzhou falls, it will affect the entire northern defense line, causing the heartland of the Central Plains to be exposed under the iron hooves of the nomadic peoples.

Because of this, the Dagan Empire has always attached great importance to Youzhou. If Li Feng had not been demoted this time, Youzhou might not have been established as a fief.

Li Feng smiled and said, "My father said he wanted me to come here to be a vassal. In fact, he gave all the power to you, the former chief executive. I'm right?"

Although Li Feng traveled through time, he inherited all the memories of his predecessor.

In his memory, this Eunuch Wei was not only the chief supervisor of the imperial court, but also the person he trusted the most by Emperor Dagan.

The reason why he was placed by his side as the down-and-out prince was to supervise him at all times.

In addition, this inner supervisor is also the governor of the Supervisory Literature Department. Even if he has resigned now, the energy it contains cannot be underestimated.

Seeing Li Feng hiding a knife in his smile, Wei Dongting quickly knelt down: "I am just a dog beside you, so how can I have the right to take charge of Youzhou!"

"Eunuch Wei doesn't have to be so polite, please get up!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Looking at Wei Dongting who was servile, Li Feng couldn't help but sigh at the power of feudal imperial power.

Wei Dongting was in charge of the Sili Supervisor and was even respected as an internal minister in the court. But even so, he still had to bow down to his down-and-out prince.

"Eunuch Wei, what do you think about this king's vassal matter?"

Wei Dongting was stunned at first, then whispered: "Although Your Highness has been removed from the position of crown prince, according to the servants, this may not be a bad thing. You are calm by nature and do not like fighting. Staying away from the temple may be the best choice!"

Hearing this, Li Feng sneered: "Is this best choice for me or for the East Palace?"

"You and the East Palace are both good!"

The conversation was deadlocked and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

At this moment, someone suddenly came from outside and reported: "Your Highness, Lord Liu is here!"

"Supreme him to the palace!"

After Li Feng finished speaking, he turned to look at Wei Dongting: "Tonight's night banquet in Zhao's mansion, I want to know what they talk about!"

"Sister obey your order!"

"Well, go down, don't let others see it!"

As soon as Wei Dongting stepped out of the threshold of Cheng'en Palace, his whole body disappeared.

Seeing this, Li Feng smiled at the corner of his mouth: "This Wei Dongting is a little interesting!"

As soon as Wei Dongting left, Liu Ji stumbled in from outside and ran in: "Secretary Liu Ji, pay homage to the king's charity thousand years!"

"Well, there is no one here, get up!"

"Thank you, Qiansui!"

Liu Ji stood up and stood respectfully aside.

While reading the article about the nine disasters, Li Feng asked Liu Ji: "This time, the nine disasters are affected, can there be any disaster relief strategies in the local area?"

Hearing this, Liu Ji's body trembled: "Report to Qiansui, no!"

"The court has exempted Youzhou from three years of taxation due to the drought in Youzhou. Has the local finance not deposited the silver?"

Liu Ji looked up and said embarrassedly: "After your highness was in the vassal state, the local bank deposits have been spent, and you have also ordered the increase of taxes for the people..."

Speaking of this, Liu Ji lowered his head again, as if he was worried that Li Feng would take his anger on him.

But who knew that in the face of Liu Ji's advice, Li Feng just nodded slightly: "Well, I remembered it!"

"But I still have the silver notes you handed over. I checked them last night and the amount was about 500,000 taels. Can I buy some food and distribute it to the victims?"

Liu Ji: "Thousands of years old, this disaster has affected tens of thousands of people. Now the food price in Youzhou City has increased several times. The 500,000 taels paid by the subordinates alone may not be enough to delay the disaster!"

Li Feng frowned slightly when he heard that the price of grain had increased.

He knew that life in Youzhou was not easy, but he never expected that someone would take this opportunity to make a fortune in the national crisis.

"What is the price of food now?"

"Reporting to Qiansui, the new rice has increased to 120 cents per pound this year. Even the Chen rice from last year needs 80 cents now!"

One tael of silver in the Daqian Empire can be converted into one thousand jin. At the current price of grain, only eight to twelve jin of grain can be bought for one thousand jin.

This 500,000 taels of silver is indeed a drop in the bucket in front of the victims!

Li Feng still wanted to speak, so Liu Ji spoke first: "The official granary has no grain storage now, and the famine in Youzhou last year has shown an uncontrollable trend. In order to ensure the stability of the people, Lord Zhao ordered the official granary to release grain, which will impact the market grain prices, but this move also has little effect!"

Hearing this, Li Feng's face gradually became gloomy.

The official granary is a ballast that maintains regional stability.

Logically speaking, this batch of grain stored should be given priority to the army, and it should not be misappropriated without the orders of the court.

But if it were Li Feng, he would have done this if he had been to the tens of thousands of hungry people who were affected by the disaster.

Although he wanted to defeat Zhao Kang, he would never use such despicable means, and would not make trouble in Youzhou granary.

But he also wanted to see who dared to take this opportunity to make money from the national crisis.

"Zhang Shoulin!"

"I'm in a humble position!"

"Select a team of troops for me. I want to go out for a walk!"

"yes!"

Zhang Shoulin got the order and turned to select the troops.

Li Feng turned his gaze to Liu Ji and said, "I am going to change the tax affairs!"

"However, Qiansui wants to reduce taxes from the people?"

"No, I want to change the tax system!"

Hearing that Li Feng was going to change the tax system, Liu Ji hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "Qiansui, the tax system of this dynasty is the imperial decree of Your Majesty. The vassal kings in various places are not allowed to change it at will. I hope Qiansui will think twice!"

"I know that the tax system matters cannot be changed easily, but now in Youzhou, it is a critical period. The tax system matters should be changed. I will report this matter to you."

"Why would you like Chitose, how are you going to change it?"
