Chapter 865: Block, backhand is cloud
Solution?
The six ministers looked at each other. Each of them looked at a loss as if they couldn’t understand Xiao Tianyao’s meaning.
“What? Is there no solution?” Xiao Tianyao has always been very patient, but at this moment he didn’t give the two prime ministers and the six ministers time to think and asked immediately.
“This… the emperor’s previous method is very good.” The Minister of the Ministry of War has always been timid, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he opened his mouth weakly.
The Minister of the Household Department saw this, and gritted his teeth: “Don’t worry, wangye, I will raise 100,000 stones for grain.” After the grain were settled, the matter of the North will be settled, right?
“Raise food? After giving them 100,000 stones of grain, will the problem be solved?” Xiao Tianyao sneered.
Of course not!
The six ministers said in unison in their hearts, but none of them dared to speak out. The six people looked at each other, but none of them dared to speak.
Prime Minister You, who was on the side, his eyes were slightly closed. He was like a stick stuck in place as if he can’t feel the atmosphere of the outside world.
Prime Minister Lin’s eyes flickered, and his lips opened and closed. He looked like he wanted to say something but didn’t know where to start. Xiao Tianyao gave him a slight sideways glance. Prime Minister Lin’s body tightened, but he was secretly happy in his heart. Xiao Tianyao didn’t want to look at him, so he moved his eyes elsewhere, completely showing that he has no intention to speak.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Prime Minister Lin’s eyes, but he was more uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, Prime Minister Lin decided to speak up, but who would expect Xiao Tianyao won’t give him a chance? He directly said: “Since all of you don’t have a better way, let’s use Benwang’s method.”
Xiao Tianyao pointed to the booklet on the table and signaled the servant to pass it to Prime Minister You. Prime Minister You opened his half-closed eyes and looked at Xiao Tianyao unobtrusively, and all the turbid eyes suddenly appeared
It was to “use” rather than “discussion” or “look at”, which shows the strength of Prince Xiao.
Although this was within their expectations, the ministers were still very unhappy when it happened.
However, no one dares to doubt at this moment, at least they will not speak indiscriminately before seeing Prince Xiao’s method.
Prime Minister You took the paper, which seemed ordinary, but actually unfolded the paper cautiously, and carefully checked Prince Xiao’s opinion. In the beginning, Prime Minister You had a serious face, but gradually his eyes glowed, and his face became rosy. After reading the last word, Prime Minister You couldn’t wait to ask: “Wangye, is this possible?”
According to Prince Xiao’s method of dealing with the Northern affairs, the benefits were obvious. As long as this matter can be completed, everyone will benefit. Prime Minister You believed that the ministers of the court and the central government will implement this method impatiently.
Xiao Tianyao didn’t say a word but just glanced at the right-hand man, which said everything.
What Xiao Tianyao dares to write, he can do.
Xiao Tianyao didn’t feel that there was anything wrong without answering Prime Minister You and took a deep breath secretly. Prime Minister You calmed down, then turned around and handed the folder letter to the six ministers who were kneeling behind him.
As for Prime Minister Lin at the side?
Prince Xiao ignored him, so of course he had to keep up with Prince Xiao and pretend he didn’t see anything.
The six masters took the booklet, neither stood up nor knelt, and felt ashamed for a while, but Xiao Tianyao seemed to have never seen it. He tapped his fingers on the table intentionally or unintentionally. Although he didn’t say a word, his urging was self-evident.
But just when the six ministers gave up on pleading and were about to continue kneeling, Xiao Tianyao said: “Six ministers, get up and sit down.”
It was a punishment to make people kneel for a while, but it was a humiliation to make people kneel all the time. Xiao Tianyao has always been very good at measuring proportions.
The six ministers were stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses: “Thank you, wangye, may you live for a thousand years.” They had already given up their minds and planned to kneel until the end of the discussion, but they didn’t want things to turn around suddenly, and Prince Xiao asked them to get up. They were unspeakably happy.
The six ministers stood up gratefully and sat down cautiously after Prime Minister YOu and Prime Minister Lin were seated.
They were really scared after being tossed about by Prince Xiao’s unusual means.
Kneeling in the hall was not just as simple as leg pain, but also face and dignity.
The six ministers sat down and began to circulate the papers reviewed by Xiao Tianyao. The faces of the six people looked a little unnatural, not dissatisfied but ashamed and guilty.
They originally thought that Prince Xiao was not good at handling government affairs, and wanted to use the matter of the North to put pressure on Prince Xiao, so that he Xiao could see their importance, but what happened?
Seeing the excerpt written by Prince Xiao, they felt ashamed.
Regarding the Northern Country issue, the countermeasure proposed by Prince Xiao was better than all of them expected, and it was not just a countermeasure, Prince Xiao even listed the corresponding terms one by one.
Looking at the clear rules in the booklet, the six ministers wanted to ask, who were the staff working behind Prince Xiao?
They didn’t believe that such a perfect rule was thought up by Prince Xiao alone.
Prince Xiao was powerful, but Prince Xiao was a human, not a god. One person couldn’t do this.
“Wangye, I have no objection.” The six ministers passed the excerpt around, and finally passed it back to Prime Minister You as if it was an agreement, and everyone ignored Prime Minister Lin.
“No objection?” Xiao Tianyao sneered: “When did benwang ask for your opinion?” He was telling them, not discussing.
“Yes, yes, yes, this old minister said something wrong. I don’t know which one of the six ministries wangye wants to hand over this matter to?” Although the sale of grain to the Northern Country was controlled by the imperial court, it was still not a small business. Whoever does it can make a profit.
That’s right, Xiao Tianyao’s policy towards the North was to open up the grain trading markets between the East and the North. They will prepare to sell grain to the North openly.
Didn’t Tiancang Pavillion want to attack his Bihai Pavilion, forbid him to sell grain to Beili, and wanted to control the underground trading market? Then he will not let them be able to sell a grain of high-priced grain or earn any extra money.
If they don’t do it, Tiancang Pavillion will sell food to the North privately, instead of cheap Tiancang Pavillion, it would be better to do this business with their own hands, and just let Tiancang Pavilion watch.
“Among you six, which one is good at doing business?” Xiao Tianyao didn’t answer directly but asked.
“The Ministry of Households is in charge of the tax of the country and deals with merchants all year round. Naturally, it is the Ministry of Households.” The Minister of the Household Department stood up without hesitation.
Anyone with a brain knows the benefits here, not to mention controlling the sovereignty. Even if you can only participate in it, you can get a lot of benefits. Only a fool will push it out at this time.
“The transaction with the North is not just a simple business transaction. It involves the affairs of the two countries. These lowly officials privately think that the Ministry of Rites should also participate in it.” The minister of the Ministry of Rites knew that he was strong enough.
“This minister is rude, but this minister is afraid that the North will not abide by the rules. This minister thinks that this matter should be handed over to our Ministry of War. If there is military suppression, we will not just watch them mess around.”
The six ministers argued with each other, and there was no solidarity as before. Prime Minister You sighed secretly. Although Prime Minister Lin didn’t know what was going on, he also knew how brilliant Prince Xiao’s actions were… …
