I don't want to be king

Chapter 559
However, fortunately, everyone understands He Wangye's temperament, and no one is stupid enough to "remonstrate to the death".

I have a word with the lord first: You go ahead and die, on the issue of principle, if this lord backs down a step, I will be considered a loser.

In some respects, He Wangye is sometimes more ruthless than Emperor Delong.

Emperor Delong was not obsessed with women, nor was he greedy for concubines in the harem.

On the surface, he is extremely tolerant and kind to others, and he is also very good at etiquette, which often makes some veterans feel grateful.

Contrary to the prince, he often talks about "serving the people", but often does embarrassing things.

It's definitely not easy to talk about, as long as it's what you think, it's useless for others to say anything.

"My lord."

Dage was dark and thin, with his dry skin folded together, he said after a long while, "Western barbarians are rampant, and please, my lord, uphold justice for my Nanyang children!"

Lin Yi looked him up and down, and then said, "I met you when I was in Sanhe, why are you still so thin now?"

Da Ge said loudly, "During the period of Sanhe, my subjects were educated by Liang Guo, and they ate and drank well.

Now that the western barbarians are tyrannical, my people in Nanyang are in dire straits. As a high priest, I can hardly sleep or eat while watching my people suffer. "

"Your mandarin is very improved, you can use idioms,"

Lin Yi didn't seem to hear what he said, and still said to himself, "That's right, if you learn Mandarin well, you won't be afraid to travel all over Daliang."

"Thank you, my lord, for your praise."

Dag wanted to cry but had no tears. Is this what he said?Why do you keep changing the subject?

Lin Yi asked curiously, "Have you seen Xiyi's artillery?"

Da Ge hurriedly said, "My lord, now my homeland in Nanyang is full of artillery from Xiyi, on the coast and on ships."

"How about the power?"

This is what Lin Yi is most concerned about.

Up to now, he has never seen Xiyi's artillery!

He had already given orders to Du Sanhe and Tian Shiyou, and no matter what, he would bring back a cannon from Xiyi.

However, these two people are not up to date, and nothing has been achieved so far.

Da Ge said sadly, "My lord, that cannon was very powerful, and I, Nanyang Erlang, suffered countless deaths and injuries."

"Go and see our artillery with the people from the Ministry of Industry later, and compare it,"

Lin Yi still didn't have much confidence in the artillery in front of Mo Shun and the others, "give them some advice."

Dag lowered his head and said, "Don't dare, Shangguo artillery must not be an ordinary thing."

"I'll ask you again,"

Lin Yi squatted on the steps and stretched his waist, "How much land do you have left in Nanyang?"

"The lower officials are dull."

Dag didn't understand the meaning of these words.

"It's how many people, how much money, and how much land you still have under your control!"

Lin Yi asked lazily.

He didn't understand what was so confusing about it.

It's not some advanced vocabulary.

"In the land of Nanyang, a small country with few people, lost to the Western Yi, my king endured the humiliation and led the people into the mountains and forests, looking forward to the king's master!"

Dag choked more and more sadly, "Please, my lord, take pity on my Nanyang people!"

"You, don't worry, you know how far Nanyang is from our Daliang country, and you can't quench your thirst if you are far away,"

Lin Yi suddenly asked again, "Li Fu of Ayu Kingdom, do you understand?"

Dag hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, since the Ayu Kingdom was destroyed by the Western Barbarians, Emperor Li Fu has set sail and gone to sea, and the people at sea still respect him."

"That would be even better,"

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "When you return, you can contact Li Fu and pass on my words, 1000 million taels of silver, this king will help him restore the country, the price is fair, and no one will deceive you."

He is not his father, who is being taken advantage of for the sake of the face of the so-called "Heavenly Kingdom".

What's more, he is short of money now!
A lot of money is missing!

Naturally, the more gold and silver, the better!
As for whether it will cause prices to soar and coins to depreciate, he can't know!

After all, he did not study economics.

If you really want to think about it, he is also a matter for the future.

The big deal is to expand abroad. This is the best way to solve the economic crisis from ancient times to the present.

"1000 million taels"

Dag fell into deep thought for a moment.

On the surface, he asked himself to send a message to Li Fu, but why didn't he say it to himself?
Can 1000 million taels be enough to restore the country?
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Okay, it's hot, I guess you're tired, go back to the post house and rest."

"The minister retire."

After Dag finished speaking, he led a group of envoys out of the Golden Throne Hall.

Gan Mao suddenly came out and said, "I think that Nanyang is far away overseas, so it is really inappropriate to promote the country's prestige."

You have to ask for money to go out!
Where did he, the household secretary, get so much money?
If you and the prince really want to show off overseas, at least you have to wait until he becomes an official, right?
"I don't want you to think, I want me to think,"

Lin Yi didn't seem to see Gan Mao's face at all, and said carelessly, "You think I want to promote the prestige of the country?

What I want is to make money!

earn a lot of money?

You, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, don't understand? "

"veteran"

Old Gan Mao blushed, "Now that the national treasury is empty, please think again, my lord!"

He doesn't know whether to make money or not!
However, he was the one who paid for it!

"Okay, don't worry about it, we'll talk about it later,"

Lin Yi yawned, "Let's retreat."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

After a rain, it is the autumnal equinox.

The north is coming, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Lin Yi doesn't dare to wear big pants anymore, but he doesn't wear a long shirt either. Like ordinary people, he walks on the streets of Ankang City wrapped in a jacket and long trousers.

Corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and Chinese cabbage are placed on the stalls of many vendors, all of which have just come out of the field and look very fresh.

Lin Yi bought a Kao sweet potato and ate it while walking. He said to Liang Yuanzhi who was following behind, "This year's autumn harvest work should not be delayed. Some families have weak labor force, so let the Ministry of War organize officers and soldiers from all over the country to participate in the autumn harvest. They are paid for it." It’s all given by the people, and it’s right to do something for the people.”

"My lord, in a few days the soldiers will be recruited on the battlefield. I'm afraid it will be difficult for officers and soldiers from all over the world to spare time for the autumn competition."

Unlike Lin Yi, Liang Yuanzhi was wearing a white gown, and his appearance was in stark contrast to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi's nose twitched, and he always felt that there was snot in his nose. He always wanted to blow it out with his hands, but there were people coming and going on the street, and there were plainclothes guards on the left and right, so it was always embarrassing for people to see it.

Although he doesn't want to be shameless, he is still quite qualified.

After walking for a while, I didn't find a suitable place to blow my nose. When I walked to a corner, I saw a pool of water stains. I looked up at the water line on the wall, and I understood everything at once.

He frowned and said, "Let Ankang Mansion build more public toilets in the city. People have three urgencies. Now they are still defecating everywhere. How decent is it?"

There is no concept of public toilets in Daliang country!
The so-called public toilets were popularized and opened by themselves in Baiyun City.

Back in Ankang City, Ankang Mansion built some toilets according to the method of Baiyun City, but it was still not enough.

Many people can't bear it any longer, and still deal with it anywhere.

Lin Yi encountered this kind of thing not once or twice.

After Liang Yuanzhi heard this, he sneered and said, "My lord, the money in Ankang Mansion is not enough, and the salary for the arresters this month has not been paid yet.

It is said that this Ma Jie is auctioning two lands outside the city, and he lives on the money from the land sales. "

Where is the money to build public toilets!
Lin Yi said puzzled, "This is the capital of our Daliang Kingdom!

Can Ankang Mansion be so poor?

What about the monthly tax? "

Liang Yuanzhi said respectfully, "My lord, old city renovation, demolition, and school construction are all places where money is spent everywhere. As far as my subordinates know, Master Ma Jie has already spent his fingers on it, and he is still stretched thin."

"I don't know how each of them got mixed up,"

Lin Yi couldn't help but sighed, "Then how is the construction of the greenhouse this year, is there no delay?"

"My lord, the greenhouse was given by the Academy of Sciences, so Mr. Ma just hid for a while."

Liang Yuanzhi told the truth.

Lin Yifa said harshly, "Let the people from the Ministry of Finance come up with an agreement to impose heavy taxes on brothels and casinos across the country."

Banning is impossible.

However, it was not Lin Yi's original intention to let them flourish.

That being the case, Lin Yi decided to let them contribute to the tax revenue of Daliang Kingdom.

As for whether it would increase the cost of old drivers and gamblers, that was not his consideration.

"My lord is wise."

Liang Yuanzhi said with a smile.

"You guys, think of a way to see if you can make money again,"

Lin Yi said helplessly, "People who have no money are worse than dogs, why am I not?"

Liang Yuanzhi lowered his head.

Definitely didn't hear it.

After Lin Yi threw the sweet potato skins into Han Deqing's hand, he continued, "Did King Dai also go to the White Horse Temple a few days ago?
Just pure incense? "

Han Deqing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is a nun's nunnery around the White Horse Temple. The Dai Wang cherishes each other with a young nun and considers him a confidant. The Dai Wang often visits her."

Lin Yi widened his eyes and said, "He still has this habit?

I didn't know it before. "

Han Deqing said, "My lord, Concubine Hui, the biological mother of Dai Wang, originally came from Tianning Temple.

The Holy Majesty loves him very much, and he is influenced by virtue on behalf of the king, and he also wholeheartedly worships the Buddha. "

"If you don't tell me, I'll almost forget about Tianning Temple,"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I have been there several times before, and many of the nuns there are quite beautiful."

Tianning Temple is actually not a simple nunnery.

The emperor's three palaces and six courtyards dare not say that all countries are beautiful, but there are definitely not many ugly ones.

When the old emperor was alive, his sons dared not put their ideas into practice.

Once the old emperor burped, the new emperor who succeeded him began to do things that he didn't dare to do before.

But because of ethics, it's not easy to be aboveboard.

So, I played a play and asked my favorite concubine to work as a nun in Tianning Temple for a period of time.

Later, after changing her name, she was welcomed into the palace again.

This is the case with the Concubine Hui, the mother of the acting king. She was originally the lady of Emperor Yongguang.

After his father, Emperor Delong, took a fancy to him, he was directly sent to Tianning Temple. After that, he went through the selection process again and was named Concubine Hui.

The process is right, and no one can say "no".

After Lin Yi entered Ankang City, he also looked at Concubine Hui twice from a distance. She was dressed in plain clothes, without makeup, and she was in her forties, but she still looked like a girl.

The old eighth king of Chu was eager to try it, but the concubine Hui was cold by nature and strong in martial arts, so she directly threw the old eight into the river.

The old eight is suffering and can't tell.

Lin Yi learned the painful lesson from Lao Ba and never dared to talk to Concubine Hui.

This is true even now.

Why bother to blame it?

Back at He Wang's Mansion, the little girl ran towards him from a long distance away.

"This walk is getting more and more stable,"

Lin Yi hugged the girl in his arms, and persistently taught her to speak, "Call Dad."

"what"

The little girl was unmoved, and only giggled at Zixia behind Lin Yi.

"I really can't expect anything from you."

Lin Yi was quite relieved.

At least they didn't call "Niang Xipi" anymore.

He's stopped swearing in front of his kids these days, and it seems to be paying off.

Zixia took the little girl over and said to Lin Yi, "My lord, the princess is smart and can already shout a lot of words."

"I hope to make progress slowly,"

Lin Yi's nose was still uncomfortable. Looking at the stream water brought in from outside the courtyard, he squatted down directly, stuffed his head down, and snored for a while, and his nose became more painful.

Zixia said worriedly, "My lord, are you suffering from the wind and cold?"

Lin Yi said, "It's really possible. You should keep your child away from me. If it's viral, it might be passed on to them."

At this moment, he also stopped thinking about seeing his son.

Zixia said, "My lord, let me make some ginger soup for you."

"no need,"

Lin Yi was still sniffling, "Forget it, I won't stay at home anymore, so that you will be unlucky to follow me when the time comes."

Before Zixia could speak, the princess came out again.

"My lord."

Han Deqing was going to be on duty, but he didn't expect the prince to go out again.

Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Let others follow me, you can go back and rest by yourself."

Some people are enjoying 996 blessings.

But Han Deqing and the others worked harder than 996, following behind him almost day and night.

It takes only a few days off for a month.

I am really embarrassed to waste his time any longer.

"Thank you, my lord, for your compassion."

Han Deqing was not polite.

He has figured out his temper with the prince, the more polite he is, the more annoying he will be.

After giving Tan Fei and Lei Kaishan a few words, they went home.

In the back mountain, Guan Xiaoqi's livestock pen became more and more lively, the sounds of sheep and horns fluctuated with each other.

Lin Yi even heard a dog barking, and he found a Shar Pei when he entered the yard.

"Your father is allergic to cats and dogs, and you still keep these?"

"It would be better if he didn't come."

Guan Xiaoqi said angrily.

"Is there a conflict between your father and daughter?"

Lin Yi said in surprise.

Guan Xiaoqi snorted coldly, "No."

Lin Yi glanced at the Shar-Pei grinning at him, "It's quite fierce, where did it come from?"

Guan Xiaoqi said, "Isn't the people in the mansion driving away the stray dogs on the mountain everywhere? It is also a poor one. If it knows to hide from me, I am not willing to drive it out. Let's keep it. It is also very useful and can help I watch cattle and sheep."
