Zhao Huan is rich, and he doesn't mind giving the treasury a sum of money to tide over the difficulties. This world's surname is Zhao and not Li.

"It costs about a million stone of rice or wheat, or ten million yuan." Li Gang said cautiously, this money is not the 10 million yuan that was urgently given to Guanzhong Qingmiao Law for emergencies.

He Li promised to repay 12 million yuan at the end of the year, and he asked for this 10 million yuan, but he couldn't get it back.

Zhao Huan glanced at Zhao Ying, Zhao Ying nodded confidently, it is ten million guan, and ten thousand guan is not nothing.

"Let's go find Zhao Duzhi to pay the money." Zhao Huan said indifferently.

Money is the most useless thing in the world.

For example, Zhao Huan has never used money himself, so he doesn't care about money.

Li Gang bowed his head and said that if the official family was not a person like Zhao Huan, he could only follow Cai Jing's example and go around desperately making money.

Maybe he is better than Cai Jing in that he is not greedy for money.

But to no avail.

If you are desperate to make money, you have to conform to the unspoken rules of making money and share accounts with the squires and outsiders, so that it is the ordinary people who suffer.

Cai Jing's typical method of demolishing the west wall and making up the east wall, making up for it, and finally all of them collapsed.

Li Gang directly demolished the emperor's wall, which was very taboo.

It's a pity that Li Gang is a novice prime minister, why isn't Zhao Huan a novice emperor?

Neither of them took it seriously.

Zhao Huan feels that it is a very normal logic to take from the people and use it for the people, after all, he lives in such an era.

Most of the money in Zhao Huan's hands was copied from his family, the income from the sixteen states of Yanyun, and Zhao Ying's operation, which was absolutely taken from the people.

Zhao Huan likes to build a large number of buildings, filling in pits on Hebei Road, building Taiyuan City on Hedong Road, and repairing Yanjing on Yanjing Road, but this kind of large-scale construction is to build a city and a state affair, not for his own luxury.

In this way, Zhao Huan built the city to fill the pit, and the people who used the labor relief prison were very expensive, but there were also a large number of local people who brought their own dry food to participate, saving a lot of expenses.

But to build a palace, absolutely no one will bring their own dry food.

Zhao Huan built a lot of construction, in fact, the cost is not very large, and Zhao Huan's requirements for Yanjing Road are also very low.

This kind of strange thing that the minister asked the king for money, and both sides took it for granted, happened in this way, and no one dissuaded it.

Therefore, Zhao Gou felt that this kind of approach of Emperor Bianjing was really strange, he was originally an emperor, sitting on the world, but he didn't enjoy the thankless change.

Change back and forth, and one day change your throne to know that you will repent.

"When you give relief to the victims, you must ensure that the money and food reach the disaster area and into the hands of the people, and if you are unable to deal with this matter, ask Li Bangyan, he should come back from Hedong Road now." Zhao Huan asked.

Li Bangyan is very good at standing in line, and when Qimen entered Beijing, Li Bangyan actually took the two old servants and rushed thousands of miles from Bianjing to Hedong Road to join Zhao Huan.

However, Zhao Huan acted in a hurry, from the clouds to investigate into Hedong Road, and then to Guanzhong, his whereabouts were erratic, and Li Bangyan did not face the saint.

However, Zhao Huan had been back in Beijing for several months, and Li Bangyan took an ox cart and slowly returned to Bianjing.

Li Gang knew that he was not an all-knowing and all-powerful person, so Zhao Huan's suggestion, Li Gang bowed his head and said yes.

When Li Gang walked out of Xuande Gate, he glanced back at the imperial city at sunset, and he was in a trance for a while, he naturally knew that it was not good to take the official's money, but he had a way, so he wouldn't speak.

Now that he is spending money everywhere, he has managed to maintain his balance, but now he has to ask for money again in the matter of Jinghu North Road.

Fortunately, the official family didn't care very much.

Li Gang's sedan chair did not go home, but directly found Li Bangyan's residence, a small courtyard with two entrances and one exit, which was inconspicuous in this bustling Bianjing City.

Li Bangyan was really shocked when he heard the porter say that Li Gang was visiting.

In Li Bangyan's opinion, Li Gang is much stronger than he was at the beginning!

Do not bow your head in the face of danger, do not be afraid in the face of imperial power, and try to deal with everything as thoroughly as possible.

Therefore, Li Gang was able to come, which made him really surprised.

He hurriedly packed up and went to the main gate to greet Li Gang in person, and said again and again: "Li Dazai, rare guests!" ”

"Shimei is tormented." Li Gang said with a smile and entered the mansion with Li Bangyan.

Li Gang told Li Bangyan about the court, and also told Li Bangyan that he was ordered to come.

"Dazai, there is a certain sentence that I have to say. You ask the official family to pay from the inside, or not to pay it back, it's really rare in the world. I've never heard of it. Li Bangyan shook his head again and again, this pair of strange monarchs and ministers.

Of course, in the Great Song Dynasty, the strange is still its original meaning, peculiar and beautiful flowers, praising people for being outstanding, and there is no derogatory meaning. [Note 1]

"Dazai, it's okay to distinguish between public and private, today is a time when the treasury is empty, and you ask for money. If there is a shortage of money and the treasury is empty, do you want to follow Cai Jing's example and go around to make money for the officials? Li Bangyan first pointed out Li Gang's mistake.

And Li Gang shook his head, he didn't answer the consideration of this matter, he knew the official family, and always felt that the official family was brewing a big thing, and this matter was done, and the treasury and internal funds were estimated to be not short of money.

It's just that Li Gang doesn't know what the official family is going to do.

But Li Bangyan obviously doesn't know what the official family thinks, this is a prime minister, and if he leaves the center of power, he will become less sensitive to various things.

"It's a great honor for Dazai Lee to visit today. But Li Dazai, if you ask about politics, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. After Li Bangyan finished speaking, his face was decadent.

In the past few months, he transferred from Bianjing to Hedong Road, and then from Hedong Road to Guanzhong, and he finally saw how bleak the people were under the golden calamity.

Along the way, what Li Bangyan felt most deeply was the tangible benefits of various official policies to the people.

Therefore, Li Bangyan reflected on his various measures when he was in power in the past and wrote a notebook.

Li Gang asked about the relief of Jinghu North Road, and Li Bangyan said with shame: "In the third year of Xuanhe, the Emperor Taishang ordered a certain person to take 2 million guan and 300,000 stone grain and grass to help the Fangla rebellion on Liangzhejiang Road and the east and west roads in Jiangnan. ”

"A certain failed to complete the emperor's order, resulting in the rebellion of Liangjiang and Liangzhejiang, and the Emperor Taishang was in Xuanhe for four years, and he killed the family of the Chinese people in the south of the Yangtze River." When Li Bangyan talked about this, he sighed.

I still think of myself.

Fang La's matter involves six roads, and he needs relief to four roads, and he Li Bangyan brought two million guan and 300,000 stone grain and grass, which is not enough.

But the Emperor Taishang only gave him such a little, what could he do?

Li Gang was much bolder, and directly asked for 10 million yuan!

What surprised Li Bangyan was that the emperor really took out the money from the inner pocket!

"I knew that Shimei had done his best when he was helping Jiangnan, but he was planning to do things in people, and he was in heaven, and he couldn't help them, so he was helpless. Li Gang said with a smile, he didn't mean to laugh at Li Bangyan.

It is really not easy for this prodigal prime minister to use less than 2 million to help the two Zhejiang roads.

Li Bangyan looked at Li Gang's attitude and the development of things, and also knew that Li Gang was sincerely seeking advice, rather than coming to the door to ridicule, and said with emotion: "A certain painful experience, if you find that the bad is bad, you will save the officials first." ”
