I can't die!I haven't ruled the world yet!

"If you are the only one carrying it, how can you easily help the building that is about to collapse, turn the tide from falling, and save lives?"

Rong Cen sighed slightly in his heart. Intellectually, she did not agree that Chen Jiancang should be responsible for all the construction of drainage canals in the southern border, even if some people were around to help.But at the moment when Dayin is not available, he really can't think of anyone to share with him.

It's not that there are no useful courtiers, but those who are on other people's boats, who have different intentions, dare not use them.

Rong Cen didn't keep Chen Jiancang any longer, and ordered someone to send the boss out of the palace after briefly speaking the key points.

Just now he came here on horseback in the rain, but now he can't hold back His Majesty, and was arranged to go back in a luxurious carriage specially used to pick up and drop off distinguished state guests.

The carriage was fine and solid, years old, but it was refurbished every year with an impassioned lacquer, pure gold, phosphorescent in the dim rainy weather.

What a coincidence, it was the one that Chen Jiancang made with his own hands.

Standing outside the Hall of Renzheng, Chen Jiancang could see the palace grooms and royal chariots galloping towards them from a distance. The speed was extremely fast but steady. The accumulated rain that the horse's hooves stepped on splashed in the air and fell heavily, but the carriage did not touch half of it.

But he didn't have time to express any emotions, because Rong Cen also walked out of the Hall of Renzheng, she stepped forward and specifically told the groom: "Go slowly and be safe."

"Resignation, veteran." Chen Jiancang bowed deeply.

"Go back."

Rong Cen looked at the gloomy and low-hanging dark clouds, and the sky got worse and worse.

She talked to Konglan, Xiaoliuzi, and Xiao Lian after the court this morning, and then met Xie Lingling and Chen Jiancang in turn. It was about six o'clock (10:30), but she looked like a girl from the outside. Sunset in Nippori.

There was another Bailisang missing.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the message from Little Six: "Your Majesty, Mr. Baili, Minister of the Household Department, is here."

Then, Baili Sang's gentle and steady voice sounded beside her ear.

"The old minister sees His Majesty, long live long live long live!"

"Excuse me, just follow me in."

Rong Cen withdrew his gaze from the misty and dark clouds, cast a serious glance at Bailisang, and walked towards the Hall of Renzheng.

After all, outside is not a good place to talk.

Sitting back on the dragon chair again, Rong Cen's heart was much calmer. She held hot tea to warm her hands, and her eyes signaled the little six to have a cup of tea. "

Then he asked Xiao Liuzi to bring over the small stove, and toast the hem and sleeve corners of Bailisang's clothes, which were also soaked.

"Thank you for your majesty's grace." Baili Sang took a sip of tea as a gesture of courtesy.

His movements were gentle and courteous, as if he was drinking tea at a chrysanthemum feast, which was enough to show that his mentality was more stable than that of Chen Jiancang.

Rong Cen secretly sighed, it's a good thing that such a person didn't join the Queen Mother's Party.

Then he felt that his thoughts had gone wrong. Such a person would obviously not be able to become the queen mother.Choosing to collude with the queen mother is obviously self-willing and depraved, which violates his family precepts.

Bailisang and Chen Jiancang are not in the same style.

Chen Jiancang gives people a feeling of low culture but strong practical ability. He is very charming as a rough man, full of sense of responsibility and security.

And Bailisang was born in a famous family. He is a real literati who is eloquent and worthy of the name.

In comparison, Bailisang was more calm.

Just like at this moment, Rong Cen didn't speak, he just waited quietly, maintaining a proper etiquette smile on his face, his eyes were fixed in front of him, even if he was sized up and down by His Majesty, he didn't erratically or dodge.

"Master Baili, you must have guessed in your heart why I summoned you." Rong Cen said.

Baili Sang nodded and replied: "Your Majesty has an order, so the old minister has no reason not to obey."

"Yizhou..." Rong Cen suddenly thought of something, and paused slightly, "Where do you think the brunt of this natural disaster will be, sir?"

Baili Sang did not answer directly, but raised his head and looked at Rong Cen for a moment. The moment their eyes met, subtle emotions surged between the two, and the atmosphere changed slightly.

Then, he said: "Your Majesty is wise."

The tone is not very good.On the contrary, these short four words were tainted with more serious worries.

Rong Cen was also worried.

Constant rain, rampant floods, and raging plagues, these natural disasters that are sweeping Dayin or will soon have a great impact on the southern region, which is dominated by plains and hills.

But this kind of terrain does not only exist in the southern border of Dayin.

Xilinduo is a vast grassland, and among the seven plains, the terrain of three plains is similar to that of the southern border.The situation in Beiqiu is similar, especially Yaozhou, which invaded Dayin. Yaozhou has always been known as "a small southern country in the north". The terrain is easy to cultivate, the geology is good, the soil is fertile, and the natural conditions are extremely suitable for the growth of crops. Nothing, don't think about anything.

But in the whole world, the most serious thing is Nanxun.

The territory of Nanxun is all plains and hills, and it is prone to tides in spring and waterlogging in rainy seasons.

In addition, Dongli could not escape the natural disaster.Dongli Xiaoguo and Dayin face each other across the sea, with continuous rain and howling sea wind, which may bring disaster to them.

This rain, is there a big reshuffle for human beings?
Rong Cen's eyes were obscure.

"But I still have to trouble you to go to Yizhou." She suppressed the strange emotions in her heart, and said the original arrangement, "The heavy rain will affect Nongsang, please come forward to appease the people."

It was only March at this time, not long before the spring plowing, and the tender green seedlings would definitely not be saved.I'm afraid that the common people who are based on agriculture will be overwhelmed and have to go to the fields to rescue them.

The household department is in charge of the national territory, land, household registration, taxation, salary and all financial matters. Bailisang has been rooted in the household department for many years and has won the hearts of the people in field matters. It is only appropriate for him to come forward.

"Your Majesty speaks seriously. These are what veteran officials should do. The treasury is empty, and there is no money for disaster relief. Veteran..." Bailisang thought about it and wanted to say something.

"If there is no national treasury, it will be withdrawn from my private treasury." Rong Cen stopped his words in time, "Yuan Zhong has a house at the end of Yong'an Lane in Shengzhou, and he will wait for the boss there at [-]:[-] tonight. People shake off their little tails and come to the appointment on time."

Baili Sang's temperament is actually not as easy to get along with as it seems. He is gentle only with the family and the people. Once it touches the vital interests of himself and the people he wants to protect, he will do whatever it takes.

For example, at this moment, the treasury has no money, and there is nowhere to go for disaster relief money, which threatens the lives of the people affected by the disaster, so Bailisang is in a hurry.

Rong Cen can probably guess what he said just now, it would not be a good idea.

"Your Majesty is worrying too much. The old minister hasn't said anything yet. How can you know that it is not a good idea?" Baili Sang smiled warmly, the corners of his eyes were wrinkled due to age, but he could still see that he was a man who was sought after by the world when he was young. Mr. Pianpian.

"My lord, I know and understand your heart for the people, but I think your method is not a last resort, so it is not convenient to use." Rong Cen declined.

Baili Sang didn't smile anymore, his eyes were full of seriousness, "Your Majesty is wise."

Instead, he asked again: "I wonder how long your Majesty's private treasury can last?"

This, Rong Cen really doesn't know.

Yuan Zhong took care of her private treasury before, and later she also gave Wen Renshu a key. Rong Cen didn't know how much she had given away, and she couldn't bear to look at the account book, so she sent someone out of the palace and gave it to Yuan Zhong.

Later, Rong Cen approached He Xi to do business, and the business grew bigger and bigger, making more and more money. In addition, Jiang Yun searched dozens of boxes of golden steamed buns from the previous Yizhou Wei's house when he went south, and Xiao Lian Chuang The golden arrowhead obtained from Qin Mao's mansion, as well as the home she copied on a whim, silver notes, gold and silver ingots, gold and silver steamed buns, golden arrowheads, etc. were transported into her private treasury like flowing water.

He must be quite rich, right?

Rong Cen's silence, in Bailisang's view, was deafening crying.

"The veteran has no wealth, but the things stored in the treasury of the house can be used as a top when the supplies are scarce."

On the surface, Baili Sang was righteous, but in his heart he had no choice but to let go.

There is such a poor court on the stall, and such a poor emperor on the stall.

The national treasury is empty, and my own private treasury is also empty, all of which have been filled by corrupt officials. How did Your Majesty do it?
Baili Sang was quite skeptical, could such a court be saved?Can such an emperor save the country?
Baili Sang really didn't have much confidence.

"No need, my lord is frugal, so I can't let your family go hungry."

Even so, Rong Cen was also afraid that his own private treasury would not be able to withstand it, after all, no matter how much business flowed in, it would not be able to support a country.

Her initial pot of gold was not enough to support one hundred thousand military guards for a day.

So we still have to think of other ways.

Rong Cen subconsciously picked the night pearl in the faucet, squinted his eyes, "It seems that when Shengzhou is submerged by the flood, we should find a few more corrupt officials to ransack the house."

As she thought about it, she unconsciously became talking to herself.

Not too loud or not.

Rong Cen reacted in seconds, raised his hand and clenched his fist in front of him, covered his lips and coughed lightly.

According to common sense, older people are more or less deaf, so Bailisang probably didn't hear it, right?

Rong Cen blinked his eyes guilty, secretly watching Baili Sang's reaction.

Coincidentally, Bailisang, who just happened to hear everything verbatim: "..."

Seeing His Majesty's probing expression, he really wanted to say: The old minister heard it!
Baili Sang tightly pursed the corners of her mouth, her face stiffened from holding back her laughter.

His Majesty just said that his method is not a last resort, so it is inconvenient to use!How could he start to study this method so that it cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary? !
"My lord, it's getting late, go back and prepare for King Xixi's departure tomorrow." Rong Cen ended the topic.

It was almost noon for the last courtier to meet after the meeting.

Guangshou Palace sent a young eunuch to send a message, asking if he was free to have dinner with the Empress Dowager.

After lunch, Rong Cen drove to Guangshou Palace, accompanied by the Prince Regent.

And Wanli who followed behind the regent as a tail.

When they met, the regent looked at her as if holding back a smirk.

It's so strange, Rong Cen's face is inexplicable, he doesn't know why.

The regent had no intention of saying anything, and finally Rong Cen glanced at Wan Li who was silently following behind him again, and said nothing.

The empress dowager is nothing more than worrying about natural disasters, and at the same time comforting Rong Cen not to be too impatient, pay attention to rest, eat on time, take care of your body, and so on and so on.

Apart from this, I don't have the heart to say anything else at the moment, even the always cynical Prince Regent has restrained himself, and no one knows what's going on in his heart, anyway, on the surface, he looks worried about the country and the people.

After dinner, Rong Cen didn't exchange many greetings, and returned to the Hall of Renzheng without stopping.

Originally, she was reviewing memorials and looking through classics, but after much deliberation, she couldn't find any effective and simple and feasible method, so she suddenly remembered that there is no shortage of capable people in her harem!

Regardless of others, just Wen Dai and Jiang Ting may be able to provide her with some help.

"Wanli! Little six!"

When Rong Cen shot the dragon case, the memorials, which had been stacked neatly by category, collapsed completely due to the vibration, and fell scatteredly on the ground.

Combined with the vibrating sound, it was as if Longting was furious and swept the memorial all over the ground.

Wan Li, who was so frightened and restless, scrambled and ran in: "Nu Nu Nu is here!"

No way, His Highness the Regent really guessed it. His Majesty was suspected by the emperor because he begged His Highness the Regent to lend a hand to help check the movements of several Marquises!

Bad, bad, His Majesty is still so angry?Could it be that he felt that he was unusable and wanted to kill people to silence him, and then promote Xiaoliuzi to take his place?

Little Six was also worried, he wasn't guilty, but mainly because he lacked experience in serving people up close.

Rong Cen didn't understand his behavior, but he didn't get entangled, and he quickly issued an order: "You two, go and bring Concubine Shu and Concubine Jiang."

"Wanli, now, hurry to Chaoyang Palace."

"Little Six, you can go to Zhanlan Hall."

Rong Cen thought, although the Yiyong Palace where Jiang Ting lives is closer to the Hall of Renzheng, but the Zhanlan Palace where Jiang Ting lives is remote, so it is farther away than Wen Dai's Chaoyang Palace.

She estimated the approximate duration of the conversation with Wen Dai, and then added: "Little Six, don't go in when you arrive at Zhanlan Hall, wait for a cup of tea in the nearby forest, and then invite Concubine Jiang over."

"The slave obeys the order!"

Seeing that His Majesty didn't pay attention to themselves, both of them were very relaxed, and immediately took orders and left.

Rong Cen noticed it, but didn't care.It's not too late to look into it when she's free, there's no time to think about it now.

People who are already in short supply, but still doubt this and that, are asking for trouble, aren't they?

Chaoyang Palace is not too far from the Hall of Renzheng, and Wen Dai has an old wound on her body, so it was even faster for her to arrive in a sedan chair.

Wan Li had the intention of taking the time to express himself in order to wipe away His Majesty's anger as soon as possible, so he ran and ran back with Concubine Shu's sedan chair without being able to catch his breath.

It took only a stick of incense to come and go, and the door of the Hall of Renzheng was opened for Concubine Shu.

"The concubine sees Your Majesty!" Wen Dai is wearing a dark palace attire today, her gentleness and virtuousness are carved into her bones, and she is well behaved.

"Excuse me, don't gossip, you have a clever mind, and you know why I called you here. Now that the heavy rain continues and the floods are difficult to stop, there may be another plague outbreak in the future." Rong Cen cut to the point, "Ruoxu, Did you ever have this scene in your dream?"

Wen Dai shook her head: "No."

That dream was actually very different from reality.It seems that since she changed her dream to that fate, she has become farther and farther away from the dream story.

She originally thought that she had acquired the ability to predict dreams for no reason, which could help His Majesty's plans.But now it seems that it doesn't work.
