The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 95's
The hot summer weather, adds heat to the atmosphere of the palace court hall.
Just a few words from sima rui, the officials of the noble stronghold no longer expressed his demands. They were all silent when questioned regarding their performance.
Food problems are one of the serious problems experienced by the Jin kingdom. What's more after entering the summer, the amount of crops is less than the previous season. Although the government has not asked for additional taxes from farmers thanks to the tax policy that mo yincheng proposed. But still the food issue is not resolved.
The issue of food distribution that affects the food shortage of soldiers at the border is a very serious problem for sima rui. Seeing his subordinates at the border having to struggle to survive, made sima rui very concerned as well as angry. So this time sima rui won't just let go. It will dismantle all the dark transactions that are behind it
"Why are you silent minister Hong? don't tell me you still haven't found the root cause of the food shortage. "
Sima rui fell silent then turned his gaze to all the officials in the hall. His calm and cold voice turned loud and so resolute.
" Do you know how the soldiers at the border fight. In addition to maintaining the security of the country, they also have to work to survive. And without thinking about it, you are actually discussing a problem that is not important. "
Everyone shuddered as sima rui spoke. The officials of the Imperial camp also did not expect that the matter was already so serious as that.
" I'm sorry, prince, but if you say we don't think about it. I refuse to admit it. Because we have also conveyed some solutions to His Majesty the emperor. So please don't say as if we're not working." (Dawei hong)
From his words, it was clear as if Hong dawei wanted to challenge sima rui.
"Hoh.. Really it? But so far I have seen no better change, minister Hong. The soldiers at the border still relied on themselves to survive. Is that what you mean some solution that's minister hong? "
" All solutions require a princely process. You should know that. "
Sima Shao saw a flash of contention in the eyes of the son and his minister. Because the main topic of the conversation is finished and instead move on to other topics. Sima shao knew it was time to divorce them and end the trial today.
" Minister Hong please stop. " (prime minister Jiang)
Sima shao looked at the prime minister Jiang. He seems to have the same thoughts as her. His actions were very appropriate as it stopped Hong dawei from continuing the debate.
" Today we are special to discuss the rumors, because the matter is over and the decision has been taken by the first prince. So we better take care of this court. How His Majesty. "
Minister Jiang faced the Emperor, and asked his opinion.
Although Sima shao was not satisfied and still wanted to see the nobles' officials arguing with his son. But it is true that prime minister Jiang said. It is time for this court to be settled. He did not want any bloody battle in the midst of his aura.
" I agree with Premier Jiang. Therefore, based on the results of the decision, then the engagement of the first prince and the great miss mo still continued. So-called. "
Sima shao immediately rose from his seat and all the officials bowed to usher in the emperor's departure.
Sima Rui also had to return to his palace. As he turned around, his eyes coincidentally met Hon dawei's eyes. Without caring about it, Sima rui continued to step out leaving the hall.
Hong dawei was furious. Sima rui had truly humiliated her today. If not for the military power he had in his hands, he could not have earned the respect of the nobles. 'Just a prince but how dare he challenge me. Look, I'm gonna kill him. '
"Minister Jiang wait. " Hong dawei stopped jing he who was about to leave the hall as well.
" Why did you stop me? Aren't you in the nobility's stronghold. You should have supported me. "
Minister Jiang was still calm, instead of giving an answer, he instead gave advice to Hong Dawei. " Don't bite more than you can swallow. Minister Hong, it's better for now that you don't offend the first prince. Otherwise, all the noble strongholds would be affected. "
" What do you mean?! " Hong dawei did not understand minister jiang's words.
" It doesn't matter if you don't understand, the important thing is that I've helped you and reminded you. "
Hong Dawei frowned, he increasingly did not understand minister Jiang's attitude.
******************
At the end of the corridor, there is a fish pond with lotus plants. Because it is summer, one by one the lotus flowers bloom and add to the beauty of the pool. There stood Sima rui and his father, Sima shao who was feeding the fish.
" Today you're too rash. " (Sima shao)
"Sorry father. For a moment your son lost control. " (Sima rui)
Sima shao quickly turned his head. What did he just say? Losing control?! this sentence seemed inappropriate coming out of the mouth of his famously very calm son.
When it came to yaner, Sima rui felt a little lost control. He didn't want anyone to say anything bad or hurt the girl. That's why he's acting implicitly today.
" I don't understand father, why should we be afraid of the nobles' camp. They have always been against the government, all they do is enrich themselves without thinking at all about the people. "
Sima shao looked at Sima rui. His son is young, so he does not understand very well what is really powerful in this world.
" Although in caste, the royal family is supreme, but our lives still depend on those nobles. Without them, we do not have the resources to run the government. Nor can the kingdom protect its people. "
" Although I don't want to admit it either, but without them our government couldn't have run smoothly, it's a reality. Almost all businesses in the economic sector were controlled by the nobles. The kingdom received many taxes from them. Of them, too, many people got jobs. That's why we can't just get rid of them. We must have preparation. "
From the explanation of his father, Sima Rui finally understood what is most powerful here. That is money. The purpose of the official making the noble stronghold was none other than to maintain their power. If it was only by himself, it might not be a problem for his father to get rid of them. Because they are united. That was why his father was still silent and did not take action.
"Sorry Dad, I didn't think right. "
Sima shao smiled. With a brief explanation, his son immediately understood the essence of what he was conveying.
" Reportedly, in the capital there is a famous businessman named boss zi. It has a casino, several restaurants, salons, shops, and schools. It also helps people who want to open a business with capital loans, and for payments using a profit sharing system. I was quite curious about the mysterious figure of this zi boss. I've sent people to find out his identity, but none of them have succeeded. If you can get him to join, it will be a great help to fight the noble stronghold. "
Zi boss?! Wasn't he the owner of the chuntian pavilion. If he wanted to know his identity, then the first place he had to go was that casino.
" Then regarding your victory celebration this time, I have already discussed it with the empress. It will be celebrated along with a hunting event next week. Therefore, you should come with Yaner. This is to show that your relationship is okay. "
"Good dad. I'll tell yaner soon. "
**********************
" Yoyao, has Luyi come yet? " Ziyan was busy with the financial statements of some of her shops. The more effort he opened, the more his work also became.
" Not yet, miss. He seems to be busy with the great master. "
Due to often helping her retrieve her work report, Ziyan almost forgot that Luyi was actually her father's bodyguard. He could not order xiaoqi because other than not being a member of the heilong, this was related to the secrecy of his identity as a zi boss. Because everyone knew that he was his personal bodyguard.
Haatchii ! !
Ziyan rubbed her itchy nose.
" You're the flu, miss? " (yaoyao)
" It's possible. Can you make something to warm up the body, yaoyao. "
" So soon, miss. " And soon Yaoyap went to the kitchen to make ginger ale for him.
Ziyan felt he slightly forced his body to continue working. But he had to finish his report before Luyi gave another additional report.
Having money is fun, but managing it really makes you dizzy. It seemed that he had to quickly get the children to pass, so that he could quickly help him with these reports as well.
" Your identity as zi boss still seems to be well preserved? " ( Snowy)
" For a while. " Ziyan replied casually, while still reading the report papers.
" while? wh why? "
" The more effort I make, the more money I make. And more and more people are curious about my identity. If that was the case, more and more people would investigate the background of the zi boss. "
"But don't you act very neat. " Snowy still did not expect that the secret that was kept so neatly would be revealed.
" Like a carcass that will long be smelled too. I didn't expect this to remain a secret. So I had to prepare myself when that happened. "
The reason why his identity as a zi boss became a secret that was so well preserved. It was because of the network system that he used in managing all his businesses. Both casinos, restaurants, beauty salons, shops, schools, even all the partners he gave capital. All of them had at least one heilong member as their employees. In addition to being a supervisor, also to facilitate ziyan in collecting transaction reports. The report will be sent to chuntian and will be picked up by Bingjie. And Bingjie will take him to his house which is at once the secret headquarters of heilong. For the next will be taken by Luyi. Luyi will send him to Ziyan.
Although it looks a little troublesome, but at least it can keep his identity secret. Because he does not need to directly go to one place by one place of business.
" About yuefeng... Aren't you watching him anymore. The snake woman must be planning something. " (snowy)
" I know and that's why I'm silent. "
