The man who wears fast clothes flirts with him irresponsibly

Chapter 167 9.13

What Bai Xingci saw over there was a foregone conclusion, but at the other end of the timeline, the story continued to happen.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!!"

"Building water conservancy projects, which was a waste of time and money, was not completed even when the dynasty was prosperous. Now that the national treasury is empty, where does the finance come from??"

"Besides, the weather has been good in recent years. If modifying the river course makes God unhappy, what will happen if there is a severe flood or drought?"

There were a lot of discussions in the court, and as many as half of them were objectionable remarks, while the rest remained delicately silent.

Finally, a white-haired old man stepped forward, held his official hat in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, you can't make such a decisive decision just because Prime Minister Su simply said that he seeks welfare for the people and that it will be beneficial to the people after it is completed."

"Actually, everyone knows the benefits of opening the canal. The waterway transportation, transportation and trade described by Su Xiang are indeed very exciting, but this project is really... too difficult and difficult to implement... Besides, I don't know whether Su Xiang will There are personal demands involved, please consider it carefully..."

When he said the last sentence, his words were almost choked, and the old man slowly bent down and gave a big salute.

Many officials behind also saluted and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please consider carefully."

A large group of people also knelt down in unison, leaving Su Yu standing alone in court clothes.

The emperor on the dragon throne looked at the group of ministers who had knelt down and exchanged glances with Su Yu.

Finally, he sighed helplessly. During these days, he tried his best to change the core of this dynasty.

But no matter how he reforms, whether it is supporting new officials to take charge of the work of eradicating corruption, whether it is reform and reform, basically all the plans that can be used have been used for one round, and the final summary of the failure reports is almost in his study. Pile into a mountain.

Every time, even if the superficial data is very beautiful, in fact it cannot shake the real interests and foundation of those nobles.

Once something infringes on their interests, it will become a scene like today, forcing the emperor to withdraw the decree, even if it fails this time.

Once the decree is promulgated, it will definitely be difficult to implement it. Either there will be problems and postponement, or there will be special circumstances, and in the end it will be nothing.

In response to this matter, the emperor specifically asked Su Yu: "Do we have no chance of saving it? The Su family and the Song family..."

Su Yu, who was called into the palace to 'play chess', looked at the scene that was just like a few years ago, picked up a crystal-clear jade chess piece in his hand, and showed it in front of the other party.

After a while, he slowly said: "This is just like this precious chess piece. Everyone wants it. Among these limited groups of people, they can compete according to the rules they established, but... if you want to take this game It's too bad to let new people enter the game. I have to let you out first..."

"In that case, the power of the Song family and the Su family is insignificant, and even because they think too highly of themselves, their integrity will be regarded as a serious criticism by the other party..."

"Then...sigh" The emperor was really bored.

"Actually, it is not completely impossible. Since they are unwilling to reform, it is still possible to scratch their heads."

"Oh? Then it seems that Prime Minister Su has thought of some good solution?"

——At the court

"In this case, in the face of the opposition of these ministers, what can Prime Minister Su say?"

Su Yu smiled: "Since the national treasury is in deficit, our Su family will pay for the construction."

Suddenly, the court, which had just been filled with howls of remonstrance, silenced the sound for a second.

The Su family is coming out?

Just kidding, they are readers, but that doesn’t mean they are stupid at reading.

Regardless of the age of this huge project and the finances, even if the Su family has a big business and a lot of money.

Not to mention one Su family, even ten Su families are not enough to make it a drop in the bucket.

What's more, the Su family is famous for not accepting bribes.

As a result, everyone stopped pretending, and many people had begun to control their emotions and facial expressions. There were many echoes from Yingying Yueyue.

After all, they don't care about people's livelihood...

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and watched as the situation improved: "Okay, since Su Aiqing has said so, then of course he has his reasons and everyone agrees, so let's settle it for now. If there are any difficulties... just ask. .”

"Of course there will be difficulties, and I will be counting on everyone's help when the time comes." Su Yu nodded with a smile.

I don’t know why, although the following officials got their wish this time, they felt a little confused.

Soon, they will know why.

The Su family naturally didn't have much money. For this matter, their family had been moving in and out of some items for a month on and off. The place they went to was... a pawn shop.

The things that are pawned are real good things, and the Su family's background is all in them. The pawn shop also accepts anyone who dares to send them over.

Many people stared at the people from the Su family and went to take them back. This was a treasure.

Even the pawn shop is making a lot of money and is about to open as an auction house.

If they knew that the pawn shop was actually the Su family's shop, their expressions would be very exciting.

In the end, even the two stone lions in the courtyard at the entrance of the house were almost carried out and sold.

Start closing the net.

After all, they were in trouble. As soon as they opened their mouths and the treasury couldn't borrow money, they naturally reached out to everyone.

It sounds nice to be borrowing it, but in fact everyone knows that it is impossible to get it back.

Now Su Yu raised a cup of tea in Li Shangshu's house, opened the lid and tasted it: "Li Shangshu, didn't you mention the style of the stone lion in front of our house before? I will give it to you now. How can I say that this is also from Thanks to the help of everyone in the previous dynasty, I was very happy to talk to you today, can I let you have the third floor?"

"This…"

Li Shangshu didn't say anything, but he was already scolding in his heart. Those were just a few words of flattery. Everyone knows the background of the Su family...

He laughed along with him: "The finances are in a recession, and even the landlords don't have enough food left..."

"Oh?" Su Yu raised his eyebrows, "But the tea in this hand is not what you say. This Huangshan Maofeng tea is the best, and yours is the best among the best."

"Uh……"

"Hiss... I didn't see Li Shangshu ordering his servants to use special tea just now. Could it be that this is just the basic specification for entertaining guests?"

"Hahaha... Well, Prime Minister Su, of course you have the most expensive status... What are you talking about..."

"Okay, then let's donate this tea."

*——

Li Yushi, who learned about Su Yu's methods, prepared the lowest quality tea leaves and tried to kill his spirit.

"Oh... Li Yushi, isn't this the coral red ornament I pawned off before?" Su Yu shook the fan in his hand, "I really didn't expect that we would meet at Li Yushi's house again, tsk..."
