The place where Du Cang came was the Zhuang Palace.

Chen Xiao was about to go to bed.

Du Cang's sudden visit surprised him very much.

Among his few subordinates, Du Cang rarely comes. Compared with Long Chenhuan, Du Cang has very strong abilities and can handle basic small matters very properly. Generally, he doesn't need to worry about them.

But once we come, we must have something to ask for.

Compared to Long Chenhuan, Chen Xiao’s attitude towards Du Cang is much more kind.

So when he saw Du Cang, he didn't smell as bad as usual.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, I want to ask for something."

"Speak straight."

"good."

Du Cang explained in detail the incident of Du Yunle not returning all night, and then said: "This child has a lot of work for you on weekdays. You know better who he is with than me."

"Can you help me ask in detail where this kid went? Has anyone seen him?"

Hearing Du Yunle disappear.

Chen Xiao also frowned deeply.

He had no affection for this playboy of Du Yunle. Although he often went to and from the royal palace to do things for him, he also caused trouble for him a lot.

When he heard that Du Yunle had not returned all night, his first reaction was to go somewhere to spend time and drink.

I immediately told Du Cang about this idea.

Du Cang shook his head, "I have never been like this before. Even if I don't go back all night, it will be at most one day, and this time it's been two days."

"Two days..."

Chen Xiao said: "It doesn't mean it won't happen."

"Prefer to wait, what if he will go home tomorrow?"

"Too."

Seeing Chen Xiao's attitude, Du Cang sighed, nodded helplessly, then bowed and prepared to retreat.

However, before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by Chen Xiao.

"Old Du, you are here just right."

"I happened to ask you something."

"Please speak with your throne."

Du Cang clasped his fists and said.

"How much does the treasury still have now?"

“Not too much, very nervous.”

"If Your Highness is preparing to ask if it can be used for disasters, it will be very tight."

"Not only that, I have investigated the granary, and now there is not enough grain reserves."

"If you have to deal with it, you must borrow it from all the major gentry families."

"borrow?"

Chen Xiao sneered, "Do you think they will borrow it? They are willing to take it out?"

"Old Du doesn't know if you have heard of it."

"These people are yelling that they have no money on weekdays, but their women are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of taels to buy a few clothes."

When Du Cang heard this, he was stunned and nodded solemnly, "I heard that, Your Highness."

"My wife has gone, too."

"However, the subordinates do not have that much money."

"The subordinates are just going to join in the fun."

"Yeah, I know."

Chen Xiao nodded, "I have asked someone to find out who participated in the bidding that day. I know what the situation is. Lao Du, you don't need to explain."

"Thank you for your trust."

"But Lao Du."

Chen Xiao turned around and said, "We really have to think of a solution. The military pay has been owed for a long time."

"If this continues, there may be problems."

"What Your Highness said is very much."

"However, my subordinates don't have a good strategy."

"My subordinates also racked their brains to this."

"Well, this must be difficult."

"No rush, I still have a way to ease me."

Chen Xiao nodded, "Okay, you go back first."

"Here."

Time passes.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Du Cang still didn't wait for his only son.

On this day, Chen Zhen held a meeting of ministers in a rare sight.

Chen Hong attended.

He is preparing to announce the reform of the money house.

Originally, Yang Shun drafted the outline and handled it.

Yang Shun should be the preacher, but Yang Shun refused to attend, and he did not have an official position, which was not suitable.

So Chen Hong could only preach on his behalf.

In order to understand the core essence and explain the grassroots logic, Chen Hong studied with Yang Shun for several days with a headache.

However, on the day after learning, Yang Shun suddenly told him that he didn't need to be too clear and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

I really want to ask Yang Shun, since it doesn’t need to be explained very clearly, why didn’t you say it at the beginning?

Don’t you know that as a pig, he doesn’t like learning?

The loyal minister stood in the Highness and looked at Chen Hong and Chen Xiao standing in front of him and whispered.

Everyone didn't know what happened, and His Majesty suddenly went to court.

Chen Xiao also didn't know.

He is about to be upset by the disaster and military pay these days.

I am short of money and am extremely anxious.

It was mainly because of such an anxious juncture that Du Yunle, the damn playboy, disappeared again.

Du Cang came to him many times every day, just like he went crazy.

Where else can I have time to play with this trash and foolish lord?

Chen Xiao became more and more irritable when he stood in His Highness.

I saw Chen Zhen walking from the back hall into the main hall accompanied by the eunuch.

Before the eunuch in the palace announced that he had something to report early and had nothing to do, he couldn't help asking, "The emperor holds a court meeting, don't know what's going on?"

"The memorials of Silijian have piled up into mountains."

"If the emperor has time to attend court, why not go to the Silijian to take a look."

"It's really a turbulent moment now, and everyone is very busy."

It can be said that it is very unpretentious to speak directly.

The ministers were a little nervous.

It seems that Chen Xiao is in a bad mood today. Although he knew that there were conflicts between the emperor brothers and the emperors in the past.

But it is rare to openly give face like this.

No matter what, Chen Zhen sat on the throne after all.

Even if you, Chen Xiao, don’t take him seriously, you must have basic royal etiquette and law, and the etiquette of the monarch and ministers cannot be lost.
