The first sound should not be loud, so as not to disturb the emperor, this is a serious crime.

The outermost part of the candle light, a little bit of light, is to prevent the emperor from glare when he just opened his eyes.

In short, all the rules are very strict.

Lu Chensheng opened his eyes, just got up, the maids got up quickly and told Lu Chensheng that it was late and it was time for Lu Chensheng to stand up and go to court.

Lu Chensheng still closed his eyes, asking the maids to change his clothes and take a bath.

The ladies of the court started to work lightly, while quietly looking at Lu Chensheng, their heartbeats obviously accelerated a lot.

Lu Chensheng could feel it, but he didn't say much.

After a while, after putting on the clothes, Lu Chensheng suddenly became much more energetic.

"Your Majesty, Long Tuo is ready."

Lu Chensheng got up and walked outside the palace, Long Huan was already waiting.

Feeling as if being urged to go to court, Lu Chensheng sat on the dragon.

Long Luan wobbled towards Chengtian Palace.

All the officials had already entered the palace, waiting for Lu Chensheng to land.

Seeing Lu Chensheng enter the palace, all the officials immediately bowed down, "The emperor bows!"

The voice was mighty and imposing, and Lu Chensheng sat on the dragon chair. Although he had been here before, it was the first time to sit in this seat, which was quite new.

"All gentlemen, calm down."

The ministers got up after hearing the words.

Many of these ministers entered this hall for the first time, and their eyes were full of curiosity at this time.

The palace that has been built for several years does have many extraordinary features.

In the main hall, separated by water in the middle, civil and military officials stood on the left and right, and they could be seen clearly at a glance.

At this moment, the ministers all raised their heads one by one, looking at the emperor on the dragon chair. After a few years, he ascended the throne after the unification. This feeling is indeed a bit different.

688 Chapter Minister Seconded

"What do you have to report?"

Sitting on the dragon chair, Lu Chensheng looked majestic.

Yang Zhiyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, immediately stood up when he heard the words, and said loudly, "The emperor has now ascended the throne, and the auspicious place has been chosen, and it is time to choose an auspicious time to build the mausoleum."

It is urging this matter again.

Lu Chensheng was helpless, this matter was indeed urged by the other party for countless times.

Li Daifu from the Ministry of Accounting hastily stood up, "The Ministry of Accounting is out of money."

"How can Mr. Li talk nonsense like this? The Ministry of Household Affairs seized more than 100 million taels of silver a few days ago and included it in the treasury. How can you say that there is no money?"

Yang Zhiyuan obviously didn't understand everything, and when he heard the other party say that he had no money, he immediately opened his mouth to expose it.

Li Daifu couldn't hold back his face anymore, what is this called, why does the other party know so clearly how much money he has in the household department.

"The mausoleum must be built. This is the mausoleum of the emperor. It will take a lot of money, material and manpower, and it will take a long time to complete. It can't be built at that time, right? At that time, there will be no time!"

Every emperor who took office soon had to start preparing for this mausoleum.

Originally, Yang Zhiyuan had already urged him many times, but because of the budget, he never made a deal.

The rest of the ministers also stood up one after another and agreed that the matter of the mausoleum really couldn't be delayed like this.

"Your Majesty, the household department really doesn't have much money. Your Majesty exempts the common people from paying taxes. Now the imperial court's income is only a few places, and it costs money everywhere. If the little money left is used to build the mausoleum , if there is anything else, then the money will be gone!"

Li Daifu was also helpless, because he really had no money.

Thinking about how generous he was when he only had Xing Seoul in the past, the people in the Ministry of Industry asked for money, give it, and the people in the Ministry of War asked for money, give it.

Give as much as you want, and what you give is a pleasure.

But now, there is really no money!

In such a big place, there are many places to spend money. He looks at those accounts every day and has a headache.

Seeing this, Yang Zhiyuan said, "My lord, the shipbuilding workshop has a sufficient budget. It originally had more than 1000 million taels of silver, but now a lot of points have been sold and more money has been raised. It doesn't matter if you think about it a little bit."

This Yang Zhiyuan really knows a lot.

After the fall of the Chengzhou Kingdom, some wealthy and powerful people there also began to join in. After hearing about the incident at the shipyard, they also spent countless silver to buy the remaining points.

In this way, the money raised by the shipyard has reached an astonishing amount.

Today's Xinghan Empire has a vast territory, but the taxes collected in a year, even if the people are not exempted from taxes, are not as much money as the shipyard has received in this year.

That's all, but many ministers are thinking about it.

Didn't the Ministry of Households always say that there is no money? The money in the shipyard is unknown, so it doesn't matter if you spend a little!

In fact, it's not just them. What they want to say is that Li Daifu pestered Lu Chensheng countless times because of this matter.

It's just that after a long time, Li Daifu also understood that the money was really out of reach, and he had already given up.

The rest of the ministers didn't say much about this matter, so they still had a little hope.

Lu Chensheng thought for a while and said, "I'm at the height of Spring and Autumn, so let's put aside the matter of the mausoleum for now."

Yang Zhiyuan was helpless, he had mentioned this matter to the emperor many times, but was suppressed by the emperor, mainly because he had no money.

As for the money in the shipyard, there is no way to move it at all.

In this hall, there are some disciples from those aristocratic families. If Lu Chensheng agrees, all the gentry from the aristocratic families will know about it later.

If this happens, Lu Chensheng's reputation will be ruined, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Originally, I had agreed with them that the money would be used for development, but now that it was used privately, it would be a big trouble for them to shout for a refund.

"Your Majesty, you have to consider the matter of the prince. Only when the emperor has a prince can the country and society be stabilized!"

Yang Zhiyuan changed the subject and talked about the prince, how long has it been.

Logically speaking, the emperor took three, so there should be a prince anyway, why is there no movement now.

"I know about this, I know."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand, this Yang Zhiyuan likes to urge these things, and he is very diligent in urging.

Seeing the emperor's perfunctory tone, Yang Zhiyuan hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, there is a way to cultivate oneself, govern the family, govern the country and the world. Now the emperor has accomplished this, but although the Qi family is married, it is a big deal to have no children!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Mr. Yang's words are justified."

"My minister seconded the proposal, the emperor should indeed give birth to a prince."

The rest of the ministers felt that this was reasonable, and it was not pleasant to say that if something happened to the emperor, then the country would be unstable.

After all, there is no successor.

It is not unreasonable to say that their worries are not unreasonable.

With the prince, it will be much more stable.

After Lu Chensheng heard this, what else could he say? He said everything, and he would try his best.

I can't say that I will find more women in the future and pass by one by one?

"I know, you don't need to urge me anymore."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand to make the ministers calm down.

"Is there anything else you can do?"

"The minister has a book to play."

After Lu Chensheng finished speaking, a minister came out immediately and changed the subject smoothly.

"Your Majesty, after canceling the road guides, people from all over the world are now fleeing, many people from barren lands have fled to other cities, and now there are many more dilapidated cities and villages. If this continues, the situation will only get worse in the future."

Tobe doctor said.

He was quite worried about this situation.

Before that, he had already noticed that something was wrong with this situation.

By canceling the road guide, the people can wander around without restraint. As a result, many people in barren lands feel that their hometown is not good, and then go to other places.

Anyway, if you change places, you still have fields to grow, and they are all good fields. Why don't you change places with such treatment?

The current situation is still good, the people miss their hometown, and not many escape, but the situation will definitely change after a long time.

Especially now that the workshops are being built in a big way, the common people have a lot of livelihood.

Under such circumstances, it will also attract people from other places.

No matter how much I miss my hometown and don't want to leave, I am afraid that not many people can resist the huge temptation.

Chapter 689 Courtesy

Lu Chensheng frowned. He had already expected this situation before.

With the cancellation of road guides, the common people will naturally go out in order to earn more money and get more life opportunities.

And where the land is barren, it is even more difficult to keep the people.

"Although a lot of places will be abandoned in this way, it can also bring enough productivity to other places. It is the local officials' business if they can't keep people. They just want to lead the people to get rich. If they can do it, the people How can you be willing to leave your homeland?"

Lu Chensheng pondered for a moment, then replied.

Hearing the words, the doctor was startled, and he probably didn't expect the emperor to respond like this.

According to what the emperor said, those officials who have fewer and fewer people in their own jurisdiction will be in trouble in the future.

"Nowadays the war in the world has subsided, and the whole country needs to recuperate well. The people from the Ministry of Industry are responsible for the construction of hydraulic roads, but the planting of trees is also essential. How many places are there now, at first glance, all are yellow sand and loess? Great vision Less than one tree?

The current scene is like the end of the dynasty. "

Lu Chensheng opened his mouth to give the order.

Lu Chensheng had put this matter on hold for a long time, and now the ministers are finally going to do it.

In ancient times, there were not so many green mountains and green waters, and more of them were scorched earth.

During the famine, the people ate all the bark and cut down the trees for firewood. Excessive felling left many places without a single tree on the mountain.

On both sides of the official road are red land.

"Your Majesty, this move will leave the chariots with no firewood to cut, and there is still coal, all of which come from trees. If they are not cut down, this"

Behind the logging, there is still a lot of production. If it is banned, it will affect the livelihood of many people.

Therefore, a minister immediately stood up with some worries, wanting the emperor to take back his order.

"There is no conflict between planting trees and cutting them down. It just needs to be stipulated that young trees cannot be cut down, and millennium-old trees cannot be cut down. Is this feasible?"

Just after cutting down the forest, countless people have indeed made a living.

The yelling so that the common people cannot cut down, I am afraid that many common people will have no food to eat.

Lu Chensheng knew it, but there could be some restrictions.

From the outside of the city, there is a piece of yellow sand and loess, which is too obtrusive, as if it is the end of the dynasty.

Now, if Lu Chensheng doesn't start doing this now, it might be too late later.

Planting trees or something, the sooner the better.

Hearing what the emperor said, all the officials immediately had no opinion. The emperor has considered it so thoroughly, how could they have other opinions?

The sun was rising three poles, and the Xinghan Empire's first court was over, and this was the end.

Seeing that the ministers had nothing else to do, Lu Chensheng waved his hand and announced his retirement.

All the officials saluted and exited the hall one by one, arguing endlessly over some matters along the way.

Lu Chensheng got on Long Huan and returned to the bedroom.
