Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 218 This kid really has a brain!
Hearing this, Li Yuquan had a flash of admiration in his eyes, and continued to ask:

"Then tell me how to do both?"

Beads of sweat oozed from Lin Xiao's forehead. She took a deep breath and said bravely:

"The Prime Minister's worries are not unreasonable. The grassroots feel that they can send troops to Jiuzhou Town to distribute disaster food. Firstly, it can show the mighty grace of the emperor, and secondly, it can also inspire the hearts of the people."

She paused and continued:

"In addition, if someone really takes advantage of the chaos to make waves, these soldiers who distribute the disaster food can wipe out their ambitions in one fell swoop, so as to set an example to others!"

After Li Yuquan listened, he couldn't help laughing:

"Hahaha, you're such a chicken thief. In order not to offend both sides, you actually came up with such a clever trick to kill three birds with one stone!"

He smiled happily, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes.

With Li Yuquan's approval, Lin Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"The method is a good one, but it's still too young!"

Wang Tuo's expression became serious.

This kid is indeed a man with a brain!
"Does the prime minister have a better way?"

Li Yuquan asked with raised eyebrows.

"Back to the emperor, the grass people haven't thought of a better idea yet."

As soon as Wang Tuo finished speaking, Li Yuquan immediately took it.

"In that case, what did the prime minister mean by that sentence?"

"My Majesty, although Jiuzhou Town is not big, there are a lot of people affected by the disaster. The disaster food will be a huge amount, and the treasury has long been stretched."

After Wang Tuo finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xiao intentionally or unintentionally, with a malicious expression on his face.

Lin Xiaoxin knew that Wang Tuo had something to say, but because of Li Yuquan's presence, he didn't want to talk too much.

"Prime Minister, I remember that you are responsible for the taxes and taxes, right? There haven't been many wars in these years, so why is my treasury insufficient?"

Li Yuquan's voice was indifferent, without any warmth.

"Wei Chen is terrified!"

Wang Tuo quickly fell to his knees, with a look of sincerity and fear:

"This minister is doing his best to raise the treasury for the emperor, just to let the emperor enjoy the family happiness, without any selfishness!"

With that said, he turned his head to look at Zhao Qian who was also kneeling:
"Submit the ledger to His Majesty for review!"

After Zhao Qian heard Wang Tuo's words, he immediately took the account book from the guards around him, and respectfully handed it to Li Yuquan:

"Please check the emperor!"

Li Yuquan took the ledger, did not flip through it, but put it aside, raised his eyes, looked at Wang Tuo and Zhao Qian, and the expression on his face softened:

"Aiqing, hurry up and die, you have worked hard for the Great Xia Dynasty, I should know."

After Li Yuquan's words fell, Wang Tuo and Zhao Qian looked at each other, and a smile of success flashed in their eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

Wang Tuo and Zhao Qian stood up together and bowed in salute.

At this time, Li Yuquan's voice sounded again:
"The national treasury is tight, what should we do about the food disaster?"

His voice was very weak, as if he was just talking casually, but after his words fell, the entire room fell silent.

Both Wang Tuo and Zhao Qian's faces were ugly, obviously choked by Li Yu's words.

Beads of sweat oozed from Zhao Qian's forehead, obviously he didn't have any good solution.

Seeing this, Li Yuquan sneered, and shook his head mockingly. He looked at Wang Tuo and Zhao Qian, as if looking at two fools, and said slowly:
"Loves really let me down"

His tone was full of sarcasm, and Wang Tuo and Zhao Qian's hearts hung up, for fear that Li Yuquan would blame them for their incompetence.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea."

At this time, Wang Tuo suddenly stood up and said to Li Yuquan:

"Since the idea of ​​disaster relief was proposed by Mr. Lin, he must have a way to raise enough disaster food as quickly as possible."

After all, Wang Tuo looked at Lin Xiao with questioning eyes:
"That's right, Mr. Lin, the old man should be right, right?"

You are an old man with a thousand knives, you were a chef in your previous life, and you are so good at throwing pots!
Lin Xiao scolded Wang Tuo secretly in his heart, but remained calm on his face:
"Returning to Your Majesty, the grassroots do have a way to raise enough relief supplies."

"Oh? Then you should talk about it."

When Li Yuquan heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and he looked at Lin Xiao with interest, waiting for his next words.

"Caomin believes that Caomin's idea can not only relieve tens of thousands of disaster victims in Jiuzhou Town, but also quickly fill up the national treasury."

"Tell me quickly, if it is really effective, I will reward you a lot!"

Hearing that it can fill the national treasury, Li Yuquan felt that every cell in his body became active.

At this time, Wang Tuo and Zhao Qian also showed anticipation.

They also want to know, what is Lin Xiao's plan?
Lin Xiao looked at Li Yuquan's reaction, and the corner of his mouth curled up with a sly arc:

"auction!"

"auction?"

The voices of Li Yuquan and Wang Tuo sounded almost at the same time, and they looked at Lin Xiao suspiciously.

"What do you mean by auction?"

Li Yuquan asked puzzledly.

"Auction, as the name suggests, is to put some things up for sale, first set a reserve price, and anyone who wants it can increase the price on the basis of this reserve price."

Lin Xiao looked at Li Yuquan and Wang Tuo with a smile, and began to explain slowly.

"Auction item?"

Li Yuquan frowned and continued to ask.

"That's right. For auction items, such as some antiques or jade articles, it is best to auction them in the name of the royal family. In this case, the selling price can be higher."

Li Yu interpreted the words and looked at Wang Tuo:
"Aiqing, is there anything in our treasury that can be auctioned off?"

"Indeed, there are many objects left by the former emperors, but..."

Wang Tuo's hesitant appearance made Li Yuquan very impatient.

"Speak directly!"

Li Yuquan scolded angrily.

When Wang Tuo heard this, he quickly replied:
"All of them have been stored for hundreds of years, and some have even been for hundreds of years. They are all dust and worthless at all!"

"Whether it's worth it or not is not up to you, it depends on whether the buyer is willing to spend the money!"

Lin Xiao glanced at Wang Tuo lightly, turned around and explained to Li Yu:
"Your Majesty, the grassroots feel that they can clean up all the ashes accumulated in the treasury, and then mark the prices one by one. Of course, during this period, it is necessary to publicize the Royal Family Disaster Relief Auction to attract people. More popularity!"

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Li Yuquan nodded:

"Well, that's a great idea, I think it's okay!"

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs. Caomin is bold. I hope that the prime minister can help Caomin to promote this auction together!"

Lin Xiao glanced at Wang Tuo meaningfully as he spoke, with a hint of amusement in the corner of his mouth.

She will never allow anyone to sabotage in private, and she wants to kill this possible sign in the cradle!
