Wen Jinhe's eyes widened and he shouted: "Ten million taels, even the imperial treasury probably doesn't have that much money."
"That's not true. As far as I know, Princess Che's assets are still very rich. Since they are taken from the people, they must be used for the people." King Heng looked like he was thinking about the court and the people. It really disgusted Wen Jinhe.
"Father, how about returning this Nancheng fiefdom to your daughter-in-law?" Wen Jinhe looked at the emperor pitifully.
"Well, since I have given it to you by decree and it is hereditary, how can you take it back? Anyway, with your ability, you can earn back ten million taels in a few years. Think about a large piece of land in Nancheng. If If you manage it well, it is like a piece of gold. Father, I believe in your ability."
Li Jingxing didn't know that his move was unjust, so he sent Li Junche to the camp in the western suburbs after the morning court, and asked the general to arrest him.
King Heng knelt on the ground, "Father, as long as the silver is in place, I am willing to personally lead the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to Nancheng in the north to supervise the construction of the cross-river dam."
The Prime Minister finally moved, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for orders to go and supervise this matter."
Wen Jinhe glared at the Prime Minister, who do you belong to?
Before she agreed, they were discussing who would take the credit and whether they would take themselves seriously.
"Father, since Nancheng is the fiefdom of my daughter-in-law, there is no need for King Heng to take care of it. Isn't this meddling in other people's business?" Wen Jinhe's cold voice slapped Li Yuheng in the face on the spot.
Everyone couldn't help but look at her, and saw that her beautiful face was completely devoid of smiles and gentleness at the moment, just like Prince Che, the cold-blooded King of Hell.
"My daughter-in-law has never been to Nancheng, so she just took this opportunity to visit my fiefdom. I don't need you to worry about the dam across the river." She scanned everyone present with her sharp eyes.
Of course the emperor saw that Wen Jinhe was angry. She had to pay ten million taels of silver out of his own pocket, so it didn't matter if he tolerated her temper.
The governors of the three provinces immediately said: "Princess Che is a female streamer. The dam across the river affects the safety of the people in the thirteen cities in the north. The cost is so huge. Without the intervention of the imperial court, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
Wen Jinhe mocked the three of them, his eyes full of contempt, "The land is mine, and the money is mine. If you have any objections, just don't build it. Anyway, there are not many people in Nancheng. At worst, I will spend some money every year to subsidize the victims. Ten million taels, I’m afraid the tongue of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance is not made of gold.”
"Okay, what Princess Che said makes sense, but you have to transfer some people from the court to help you." The emperor doesn't care about the petty thoughts of his ministers and Prince Heng, as long as he achieves his goal.
Wen Jinhe raised his eyes and looked at the emperor, "Father, just transfer Song Zhiyuan, the Minister of Punishment, and the Minister of Work to me."
"Also, as far as I know, only 80%25 of the south city of Yuehe Dam is occupied, and there is still a small section in Huyue City next door. This part must come from the national treasury. Father, you still have to allocate two million taels of silver from the national treasury. Give me."
There is no such thing as cheap in the world if you just let yourself bleed out.
Ten million taels, and I don’t know how much water there is in it.
Li Jingxing's face froze, he actually didn't want to pay a penny.
When the Minister of Hubu heard that the money from the treasury was going to be given to Princess Che, he immediately said: "Ten million taels is enough to build the entire cross-river dam."
"I am rich, but it is not brought by the strong wind. I recognize that Nancheng is my fiefdom, but it is not my business. Why should I pay? Just now, Mr. You said it was ten million taels, and now I The princess said she wanted two million taels, but why were you unwilling before the emperor even opened her mouth? Could it be that you really regard the treasury of Beidi Kingdom as the private treasury of your minister of household affairs? "
Wen Jinhe's anger was loud and clear, and he was not afraid of confronting a third-rank official in the court.
As the only tool man, the Minister of Industry stood in the corner and said nothing.
"Princess Che, these two million yuan have been released from the two countries' treasury. You can go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to get the money tomorrow. The cross-he dam is a national matter. After the construction is completed, the Ministry of Industry will have to inspect it."
The emperor looked at Wen Jinhe. Anyway, the 500,000 taels saved for drought relief were useless. Later, Wen Jinhe sent another 300,000 taels because of the concubine's affairs. If these two million taels were not paid, I am afraid that King Che would have to pay for it after he knew the news. He broke into the palace to support his wife.
Wen Jinhe lifted up her skirt and knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Father, for your consideration." Then she left the imperial study room with anger all over her body.
Man Qiu and Man Dong, who were waiting outside, saw that their princess's face was ashen, and they felt that something was not good, something must have happened.
On the way back to Prince Che's Mansion.
The street ahead was a bit crowded, so he had no choice but to stop the carriage.
Wen Jinhe, who was holding his breath, opened the car curtain to get some air. He happened to see the Prime Minister's carriage coming from behind and wanted to pass them.
Wen Jinhe was the first to speak, "He Shi, stop the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion for me."
He Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he stopped the carriage in the middle of the street, startling the driver of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The prime minister opened the curtain and met Wen Jinhe's eyes that were filled with ice and fire.
……
"Sir, Princess Che's bodyguard said that Princess Che would like to invite you to sit in the private room of Yunxi Restaurant." The servant walked to the car window and whispered back.
The Prime Minister looked at the swaying car curtains and said, "Go to Yunxi Restaurant."
Zhao Bi Manqiu and others all stood outside the box. The door was closed, leaving only Wen Jinhe and Prime Minister Mu inside.
"Does the Prime Minister also think that the cost of building the cross-river dam should be paid by the princess?" Wen Jinhe felt that this old man had evil intentions.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry does not take sides. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is old and will retire in a few years.
But just now, King Heng and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue were both present in the imperial study, and Wen Jinhe was really confused by the words and deeds of the prime minister.
Prime Minister Mu drank the tea on the table very calmly, and Wen Jinhe was so angry that he didn't even let the waiter serve snacks.
"The old minister's opinion is not important. What is important is the emperor's idea. The river-crossing dam is related to the life and death of the people. The national treasury is empty. Princess Che is the daughter-in-law of the royal family of the Beidi Kingdom, so there is no harm in paying this money."
Wen Jinhe's pretty features looked like they had been slapped in the face at this moment, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "It seems that Prime Minister Mu has some objections to this princess."
This minister, who is now about 10 years old, was the number one scholar in high school, and has served as prime minister for seven years. He placed the tea cup heavily on the table and looked at Wen Jinhe with deep eyes.
"The old minister once advised King Che that he had few heirs and should take concubines as soon as possible. But King Che replied that he would only have one main wife, Princess Jinhe, in this life. Even if he becomes a great treasure in the future, there will only be one queen in the harem and he will not take concubines."
Wen Jinhe's eyes moved slightly.
"Prince Che and Princess Che are deeply in love as husband and wife. I have nothing to say. However, the royal heir is a state matter. The princess is the princess of Linyue Kingdom. Even if the current emperor does not mind the identity of the princess, the people of Beidi Kingdom do. The civil and military officials of the DPRK mind."
Wen Jinhe sneered and raised the corners of his mouth, "After the Beidi Kingdom captures the Linyue Kingdom, will Prime Minister Mu still divide the people into the people of the previous dynasty and the people of the current dynasty? If they are not treated equally, how can they be combined into one?"
