Chapter 352 Queen Feng Boyang

Shen Liuzhen smiled confidently and said:

"If you want to levy food, naturally you can levy it from whoever has it. At this time, there is no distinction between Xianbei and Han people."

"This..." Queen Feng Boyang was stunned, and then reminded him:

"You mean everyone joins? But...don't you mean it's difficult for everyone?"

And whether they are Han people or Xianbei people, they will not be willing.

In this way, both the Han and Xianbei people will be offended. With all due respect, at this time, it is better to offend only one party than to offend everyone."

As she spoke, her eyes swayed again, and she said: "Of course...it's best not to offend anyone, and it's best to be able to take this breath in peace."

"The Queen is right. I don't like to offend anyone. What I mean is that we will recruit from wealthy families with money and food, and forget about the common people."

As soon as the queen heard what he said, her face immediately became embarrassed. Looking at Shen Liuzhen's expression, she unconsciously became more scrutinized and suspicious.

Because according to what Emperor Ulei said, Shen Liuzhen was resourceful and could often find new ways to solve problems unexpectedly.

Moreover, he is not very shameless and can use any means. He is a very powerful person.

But now when I listen to him speak, it feels so... so unreliable?

Could it be that Emperor Shi Yu Ulei trusted his companion too much, so the blessing of emotions affected his judgment?

In fact, this person is just an ordinary favorite?

"Shizhong Shen...the money and food you are talking about are...the farms of the big Han families in the opposition, right?"

Shen Liuzhen's eyes widened, and he seemed a little surprised by the Queen's stupidity, and said:

"No, it's just money and food. Didn't I say before that there are Han and Xianbei people?"

The queen lowered her eyelids and thought for a moment, then her voice became much softer and she muttered:

"It's better to requisition it from the hands of the civilians. Anyway, even if they don't want to, it will be more difficult for them to rebel without money and food..."

Although his tone was gentle and gentle, it clearly showed disappointment and dissatisfaction.

Shen Liuzhen quickly raised his hands and said: "Empress, my intention is to borrow from them and grow the grain later and return twice as much. In this way, whoever has the grain will naturally hand over the grain. And it is voluntary.

This method neither hurts the people nor offends anyone. It can also solve an urgent need, isn't it great?"

Queen Feng Boyang's eyes lit up instantly, and she hesitated a little. After a while, she asked:

"...According to what you said, this method is really good, but I just don't know...how many people will be willing and how many people will lend it.

And...what if we encounter a natural disaster, the food harvest fails, and the national treasury is too empty? It is not a trivial matter to damage the credibility of the imperial court. I am afraid that it will be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives and cause more trouble."

"Back to the Queen, this is a story for another day. There will be plenty of time to plan and deal with it in the future. It is important to get through this hurdle first. I don't know this method. Can the Queen agree?"

"This..." Feng Boyang thought about it for a while, then his slender eyebrows flashed and he asked, "You said this matter, should I go to the memorial and ask His Majesty for instructions before making a decision?"

Shen Liuzhen raised the corner of his lips and smiled, thinking: This queen is extremely cautious. She is afraid that others will think she is overbearing and ambitious, so she chose such an office location that is both conscientious and "aggrieved" to her.

Now I am afraid of taking responsibility, so I deliberately use words to let him make up his mind. If something happens later, or His Majesty disapproves, he will be there to shoulder the responsibility.

It's hard to say that she had already made some calculations before, but she was afraid that she would make up her mind and offend the courtiers.

So I deliberately called him into the palace and asked him to give me an idea. Later, I could blame the source of this offending decision on his head.

...Well, my sense of self-preservation is not that strong.

Shen Liuzhen was not disgusted with her thoughts and methods.

I didn't expect her to make much achievements and contributions in helping Ulay. It would be convenient after she became stable.

Her cautious and cautious nature, afraid of making mistakes and taking responsibility, is just stable enough.

Shen Liuzhen lowered his eyes, bowed and said respectfully:

"It takes time to write letters back and forth, and I'm afraid the spring planting will really be delayed. Queen, don't worry, Shen is personally responsible for this matter. If His Majesty blames you later and refuses to agree, Shen will naturally be responsible for it."

Queen Feng Boyang was very surprised when she heard this... She didn't expect Shen Liuzhen to be so responsible.

Moreover, he seemed to know her little thoughts, but he was not angry and deliberately took the responsibility for her...

For a moment, Queen Feng Boyang felt her cheeks burning with shame. She looked at the people on her left and right, stood up from her seat, walked to Shen Liuzhen, and said apologetically:

"Shizhong Shen... You know, I don't understand anything. His Majesty entrusted such a big stall to me. I was afraid that I would do something wrong and disappoint His Majesty... Thank you for your hard work."

"The Queen's words are serious, and these are all deserved." Shen Liuzhen bowed and said with a very serious expression.

The queen turned her back, tilted her head again, and said:

"Well... without further ado, please ask Shizhong Shen to draw up a feasible agreement in person, and I will stamp it and implement it. I wonder if Shizhong Shen has any other requests?"

Shen Liuzhen raised his eyes and said firmly: "Yes."

…

When Dugu Jian appeared in front of Shen Liuzhen in military uniform, his expression was very dissatisfied, but he couldn't directly address Shen Liuzhen. Instead, he said to Liu Qinbing behind Shen Liuzhen:

"I said Liu, what's the use of you? Why don't you give me all your salary as a guard? Anyway, I am almost responsible for Mr. Shen's safety."

Liu Qinbing didn't want to pay attention to him, rolled his eyes at him and said nothing.

Dugu Jian is a close confidant of Ulei's faction, and most of them are former ministers who followed Prince Jingmu.

Their discrimination and antipathy towards Han people are much less than other Xianbei people.

However, some of the "dislike" and "contempt" towards the Han people deep down are still obvious and cannot be concealed.

Dugu Jian's attitude towards Shen Liuzhen also fluctuated from time to time.

When he admired him, he worshiped Shen Liuzhen very politely. Once he felt disdainful, he did not hide it.

Especially when he felt that Shen Liuzhen was a Duan Xiu who liked men, this "displeasure" appeared on his face, and he lost his good feelings towards Shen Liuzhen.

"Thank you for your hard work, General Dugu. I have to be responsible for Shen's safety again." Shen Liuzhen said with a smile at him.

Dugu Jian was dazzled now when he saw Shen Liuzhen smiling so beautifully.

He narrowed his eyes and said angrily in Xianbei dialect:

"No...I am a general after all. If you are an imperial envoy sent by His Majesty, then I am not protecting you, but His Majesty's will and majesty.

You are not going anywhere in the capital right now, and you want me to come over with the Queen to protect your safety?!"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You are just a servant, and my rank is two levels higher than yours! Why are you so embarrassed?!"
