Xue Qing's face turned darker.

The others couldn't help but shook their heads in laughter. Fei Tian's mouth was too vicious. Isn't this a different way of saying that Xue Qing relies on his daughter?

Seven daughters entered the harem together, which is unprecedented and unprecedented.

It was a supreme honor, but it also made him feel like walking on thin ice.

It is said that it is not cold at high places, and it is precisely because of this that Xue Qingcai worked hard and devoted himself to his work.

Then all kinds of nonsense spread, saying that Xue Qing was the father of the daughter, and it was about face. This made him unbearable, and he did his duty to rectify his reputation.

Now here comes Lu Zhengyuan again.

Doesn't this comparison further prove that the father is more valuable than the son?

What can be tolerated by scholars is unbearable.

Xue Qing took a deep breath.

"You can laugh at me all you want, but you have to find out the reason from me today!"

“Can the Farm Law and the Rural System alone do it?”

"It's impossible!"

Xue Qing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty once said to choose the good and follow it. Lu Zhengyuan is better than me, but better than us!"

"If this word spreads, will your faces be bright?"

"Then you're going to say that His Majesty is nepotistic and uses useless people who are not as good as Lu Zhengyuan!"

Hear this.

Everyone's expression changed slightly. It's true to say that if you don't spread the word now, it doesn't mean it won't spread in the future.

Where will the face be then?

Fei Tian didn't care too much, since he was shameless anyway.

However, after working with Xue Qing for so many years, ridicule is ridicule, and the gang has to help.

It has been seventeen years since the founding of the new dynasty.

He is also fifty-seven.

In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and among the original batch of courtiers, only he and Xue Qing have not changed...

"Your Highness will not chase us away. I will accompany you until dawn today!"

"Yes, it's not that we are xenophobic, but we can't afford to lose this person!"

"This guy Lu Zhengyuan was still hanging around all day long in Liang State, but he changed his mind when he arrived in Daning!"

"Who says it isn't?"

Everyone began to agree.

Although Guan Hongzhao had left, they all decided to stay and hold another financial meeting.

The main topic is how to revive the Southern Dynasties!

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Chengli, the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue, ran in panting.

Behind him were eight people, each holding a large box containing account books.

"Sir, all the tax rolls from Jianghuai and Jianghuai are here since the eleventh year of Yuanwu."

"Come on, let's get started!"

His Highness the Crown Prince said that it is almost the same as that of Yuan Wu in the 11th year, so we need to know the specific amount...

"Lao Fei, don't hide your stupidity. You have been staring south. You should be very familiar with them."

Xue Qing turned to Fei Tian.

Everyone knows that the Ministry of War has a military intelligence agency, and the current chief officer is Hu Biao, who came from Liang State.

This person was once the chief officer of Liang Guo's Procuratorate, and he was quite capable in the secret service. He was recommended by Tian Fei and was in charge of the Secret Intelligence Agency of the Ministry of War, which was called the Military Intelligence Agency in Tiance Mansion.

Two brands, two branches, but one team, this organizational structure was naturally arranged by Guan Ning.

In other words, Hu Biao has great authority, and Guan Ning's propaganda in Liang State is no exaggeration...

"Can."

Fei Tian responded directly. He couldn't explain Xue Qing's confusion today.

No one left, and discussion began. This time it was more thoughtful and passionate than the previous year-end report.

Making Daning strong is their important responsibility as ministers.

Lu Zhengyuan did better, so can he follow suit?

This is choosing what is good and following it.

The night is already deep.

Guan Hongzhao's case is still bright before the end of the year, and he has to find out the shortcomings, find out the areas that can be improved, and then come up with solutions.

"It's time for your Highness to rest."

Prince Zhan Shizuo Shu came over and advised: "Your Highness, your health is the most important thing!"

As a close official of the prince, he is most aware of the prince's diligence.

"Is it dispersed over at the Yizheng Hall?"

"not yet."

Guan Hongzhao sighed: "It is because of these dedicated courtiers that Daning can become stronger and stronger day by day."

He has the detailed tax records of the Southern Dynasties here, but he cannot take them out because his origins are unknown.

Just wait.

When my father comes back, the Jianghuai and Jianghuai regions will also come back.

He remembered a word his father once said, called the catfish effect.

The addition of Lu Zhengyuan made these courtiers even more urgent.

At the same time, Zuo Shu was also thinking, isn't this because you are so weird?

He was also at the Yizheng Hall at that time.

"You should go too and see what they can come up with."

"yes."

Zuo Shu went there, and the discussion was so lively that he didn't even notice that he was coming.

As daybreak approached, the result was finally achieved after a night of discussion.

Xue Qing said: "There are many reasons why the Jianghuai and Jianghuai regions have revived so quickly."

"First, it was originally a prosperous place. Although the war had an impact, it did not really affect it. After the rebellion in the Southern Dynasties, it caused some chaos, but it quickly stabilized."

"Secondly, the transportation between Jianghuai and Huaihe is convenient, water transportation is developed, and the flow of people from various cities has driven the development of commerce. Lu Zhengyuan has also implemented many strategies to promote commerce."

"The third, and probably the most important reason, is the rebellion in the Southern Dynasties!"

"Um?"

Hear this.

Several people looked puzzled.

Fei Tian was also quite puzzled.

"Are you saying that it was precisely because of the rebellion in the Southern Dynasty that the Jianghuai region became more prosperous?"

"That's right!"
