Madam Wang nodded her head benevolently, her gaze falling on the Xu sisters.
“Is this the young lady of the Xu family?”
Madam Wang thought of Xu Erlang’s handsome face and then looked at Xu lingyue’s beautiful and refined appearance. She pondered for a moment and smiled. “The two sisters each have their own merits.”
After he finished speaking, he invited them to take their seats.
His sister-in-law, li xianghan, sipped her hot tea and sighed. She started a topic, ‘
“This damn weather. This time last year, I felt suffocated after burning charcoal for an entire night. Now, if you don’t burn it all night, you’ll freeze to death. ”
“Who says I’m not?” his second sister-in-law, Zhao Yurong, replied.
At this time, she found the little bean staring at the charcoal stove that was half the height of a man in a daze. The smokeless beast gold charcoal was burning inside.
This child had probably never seen this kind of charcoal that didn’t smoke … Second sister-in-law’s heart moved and she smiled,
“That’s why his Majesty gave our Wang Residence ten Jin of beast gold charcoal. This kind of charcoal doesn’t have the smell of smoke, and it even has a sweet fragrance when it’s burned.”
The second sister-in-law looked at Xu lingyue with a sense of superiority, but she found that she was smiling and had no reaction.
Could it be that he didn’t know what golden beast charcoal was … “It’s for the Royal use,” added the second sister-in-law.
Xu lingying held the candied fruit in her hand and said loudly, “”We have one too.”
In the study.
Chief advisor Wang sat behind his desk, holding a teacup in his hand. The lid of the teacup was gently knocked against the edge of the cup as he listened to the report of his future son-in-law.
“Lord Chief Assistant, this winter, the people will definitely have a hard time, especially in the areas that have suffered from droughts and floods. How are the local people going to survive this winter?”
Xu niannian spoke fervently. I’ve submitted a petition to His Majesty. I’ve requested the verification of the granaries in various places and to make preparations for disaster relief funds in advance. Why did you withhold my Memorial? ”
Chief advisor Wang listened patiently, took a sip of tea and said,
“As an official, if you want to achieve great things, you must first broaden your horizons and see the big picture. Only then can you plan in advance. You only see the difficulties of the common people this winter, but you can’t see the difficulties of the Imperial court.”
He put down the teacup and pushed a pile of memorials in front of Xu niannian. take a look, these are the memorials from the Ministry of Revenue.
Xu nianxin opened the memorial and quickly read through it. His expression changed.
“The Imperial court has run out of silver,” chief advisor Wang sighed.
“How could that be?” Xu niannian muttered.
“The previous emperor had been tormented for twenty years, and the National Treasury was already empty. Under the Fuhua, the foundation of Da Feng has long been shaky. A few months ago, 120000 troops were sent to aid the demon barbarians, while Wei Yuan led 100000 troops to attack Jingshan city.
“Although it was a great victory, but provisions, warhorses, equipment, which one of them did not consume silver? A weak country’s resources are so great that you can’t imagine how much they’ll need to support a war of that scale.”
Chief advisor Wang stretched out his hands and got close to the charcoal stove. While warming his cold hands, he said, ”
“I could’ve barely held on, but I’ll be fine after this year. When the autumn harvest came, the overall situation would be stabilized. I’ve lived for decades, but I’ve never experienced such a cold winter.”
The internal affairs of the Imperial court were difficult to clean up. Natural disasters continued to occur. The National Treasury was empty and in. mess … “Is there a way to save her?” Xu Xinian asked with a heavy heart. Chief advisor Wang stared at the stove and did not speak for a long time. “Time.” He said.
After a long silence, chief advisor Wang said again, ” if you’re annoyed by cooking fish, it will be broken. If you’re annoyed by governing the people, it will be scattered. If you know how to cook fish, you know how to govern the people. If there are no external threats, time can calm everything.”
“What if there are external threats?” Xu niannian asked in a low voice.
The death of the heavens … “Do you have any news about him?” chief advisor Wang asked.
Xu niannian knew who chief advisor Wang was referring to. He shook his head
and said, “”Until now, big brother has not sent a letter back to the residence.”
