Chapter 162 Let me do it!

When the others saw that Tong Guan was taking the lead, they also expressed their opinions: "It's good that Taiwei Tong said it is reasonable! Everything you said is based on the war facing the Song Dynasty. What if there is no war? The country's money is so tight, is it because you squandering it? "

"The saint Yun Kingdom will perish even if it is very wary. Your thoughts are very dangerous. The emperor, I impeach the Gunpowder Department to order Gao Chong to exclaim the danger, provoke the relationship between the court and his allies, and to open up the war with great vicious intentions. If this person is not eliminated, it will eventually be a trouble for the court and the country."

"I'm going to review it!" The ministers below suddenly fell to a large area.

Gao Chong seemed to have no concern at all, and was still standing there upright, just as these people were talking about others. Feng Muyao and Sui Yu next to him were so scared that they lay on the ground, not daring to breathe.

I really offended too many people, and almost all the powerful ministers were impeaching him.

Zhao Ji's face changed several times in a row. Finally, he sighed: "Gao Chong, I think you are young and young, so I will spare you this time. After you go back, make your fireworks well and don't spend your time on random thoughts."

"I obey the order! Thank you for your kindness." Gao Chong saluted again, heard Zhao Ji's retreat, and then returned to the Gunpowder Bureau with Feng Muyao, Sui Yu and his four masters.

"Sir, what should we do?" These people were stunned, especially Ling Zhen and the others who studied it for a long time, but the lifelong career they relied on became unemployed, which made them a little confused and angry.

"Do what you should do. Mu Yao, starting today, the number of fireworks sold has increased by 50%. We always have to make some attitudes to show that we have done "serious business". What do you do for the rest? When the war begins, it is also time for us to prove ourselves."

"Sir, what should we do if we make things? Our warehouse is limited. If we keep doing this, I'm afraid that it will not be able to fill soon."

Gao Chong's eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Leave all these to me! One of my friends is from the Western Army. I'll try to convince the Western Army to use our firearms."

In fact, Gao Chong was not prepared to sell the firearms to the Western Army. This thing is a consumable. The war will come next year. If you use one of these treasures, you are afraid that it will not be enough?

"Yes!" Feng Muyao and others saw that Gao Chong was not very interested, so they quickly stood up and said goodbye.

Ling Zhen sighed and said to Gao Chong: "Sir, this is the Song Dynasty! This is the court of the Song Dynasty. How do you feel? Are you very disappointed? Do you still have the confidence to lead us to history now?

Let’s be honest! I was relieved of this title of decree because I made a few complaints and demoted to the lower place to work as a coolie. What is our hope?”

Gao Chong patted Ling Zhen on the shoulder hard and said, "Ling Zhen, remember what I said, the hero is so beautiful that he will be so beautiful. One day people will know who is right and who is wrong! And I will tell you that this time will definitely not be long."

Ling Zhen sighed and said, "Okay! Then let's take a good look! Sir, I can see that you are not an ordinary person. I am already half-in-the-ground, so I will sacrifice my life. From now on, I will fight with you, and no matter whether you die or live."

Gao Chong sneered and patted Ling Zhen and said, "Don't worry! There will be no disappointment to you. Ling Zhen, go do it well!"

Gao Chong returned to his home. Before he had time to drink a sip of water, Gao Cai ran in and said that Emperor Yifu came to ask for a meeting.

Since Li came, Emperor Yifu has not been here for a long time. Unexpectedly, as soon as Li left, the Emperor could not wait to show his head.

"Please!" Gao Chong did not dare to neglect, and then went out to greet him in person.

"I really admire you so much." Zhao Yuanzhu raised her thumb when she saw Gao Chong.

"Have the Emperor heard about it?" Gao Chong laughed without any politeness.

"Yes! All the ministers of the Song Dynasty today are here to oppose you. This is a question from thousands of people, and you can still face it calmly. I really admire this face."

Gao Chong laughed and said, "Thank you, Emperor Prince, for the praise."

Zhao Yuanzhu used her white and slender fingers to scratch her little face and said, "I'm so shy, I'm still praising you, right? Gao Chong, don't say these gossips, have you promised the money for the fireworks to do charity, how are you preparing now?"

"Although this princess is relieved, I have found out that this year, the flood in Xiangzhou has been in trouble for three consecutive years, and there has been no harvest, and people have suffered heavy casualties. The memorial of the prefect of Xiangzhou Han Xiaozhou has already reached the center.

The emperor must have prepared disaster relief. We have not gained much this month, but we have 100,000 guan. At that time, the emperor promised to take out 10% to rescue the disaster. This ten thousand guan is also 10,000 guan. The emperor can send it to the local government to rescue the disaster."

When Zhao Yuanzhu heard this, she said excitedly: "It's so great! I'll go back and beg my dad to provide relief."

Zhao Yuanzhu did not delay at all, turned around and left. Gao Chong was a little moved, and they finally had some good people in the Zhao family.

"Di Geez, don't worry about this matter, you still have to ask clearly and see where we need it the most. Let's help first."

"Don't worry! I will ask clearly. Gao Chong's farewell poem is really good. The listeners are almost tear-jerking. When will they sing it to me?"

"This is not a good song, I hope we will never sing it in our lifetime."

Zhao Yuanzhu burst into laughter, her face as if it was about to catch fire, and she ran away in a flash.

Zhao Ji received a request for help from Han Xiaozhou, which made him very embarrassed. Xiangzhou has been flooding for three consecutive years and has allowed the court to provide disaster relief every year. Is the court's money very rich? My Huayang Garden has not been built yet.

"Emperor, Emperor Yifu asked for a visit." Li Yan's sharp voice sounded in the hall.

"Xuan." Zhao Ji gave a breath. The most favored person in front of Zhao Ji was his fourth daughter Zhao Fujin, but after this daughter got married, most of her favor was transferred to Zhao Yuanzhu. Zhao Ji heard that she was going to see him, but he agreed.

Zhao Yuanzhu entered the room, first leaned over to salute his father, then jumped and ran to Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji was very happy and patted her head gently and said, "Sister Jiu, why are you thinking about seeing Daddy today?"

"Dad, I greet you every day sooner or later, why did you forget?" He said that, holding Zhao Ji's arm shaking.

"Okay! OK! Sister Jiu is the most filial. She has already asked for peace this morning and is not at night. What's wrong with seeing me now?"

"I heard that there was a flood in Xiangzhou. I watched my father frown every day, so I came to share my worries for him."

"Oh? Sister Jiu also heard that, what are you good at? Dad is really worried about this matter?"

"Dad is a noble man who forgets things, but he answered that he used 10% of the fireworks sales to provide disaster relief. The first month's sales have already been released, right? What about 100,000 guan? Even 10% is 10,000 guan.

Dad’s example has been made. All civil and military officials in the court must show it! Those who cannot pay welfare have been stolen, and when the country is in trouble, they all become turtles with their heads!”

Zhao Ji's face turned red. He had promised Gao Chong to take out 10% of the fireworks to provide disaster relief, and he could also gain both fame and fortune. However, after the money was added to the treasury, he forgot about disaster relief.

"Well! Sister Jiu's reminder is correct. I will make arrangements tomorrow and let the Ministry of Revenue calculate the disaster situation and prepare for disaster relief."

Zhao Yuanzhu pouted slightly and said, "Dad, I think it's better not to give this matter to the Ministry of Revenue. They provide disaster relief every year, and people are living in poverty every year. Who can guarantee whether these people will get enough money? Then Dad's kindness will make them cheaper."

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhao Ji's face sank, "You little yellow-haired girl, how dare you slander the imperial officials like this? It's really becoming more and more distorted."

Zhao Yuanzhu was not outdone and said, "Dad, why should our royal treasury be used as favors? Why would we let our royal people go?"

"This is also a solution, but Dalang is the prince and should not be separated. So should he let Sanlang go?" Zhao Ji's mind was spinning quickly, thinking about how to sow discord between the two sons.

"Why do you have to ask your sons to go? It seems that we are not royal people anymore? Dad, how about you handing over this matter to me? Are you doing charity anyway? Only when I let me do it will people remember this reputation on Dad?"

"You go?" Zhao Ji frowned, and he thought in his mind, why did Zhao Yuanzhu do this? Are she planning to do this?

"I'm just doing charity. I'm just doing my dad's sake. We will never have any selfish intentions when doing this, just to share my dad's worries.

Besides, we can’t do anything. Under the banner of Dad, we call on everyone to help the victims, then exchange money for food, and finally transport the army to various disaster-stricken prefectures and counties. There is nothing wrong with the final reputation. No one has to go, it’s all Dad’s!”

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, and he thought this was a good idea, especially the last sentence made him moved; so he nodded and said, "Very good! We're going to make this matter! Leave it to Sister Jiu. Li Yan, you are responsible for assisting the Emperor Ji, and all civil and military officials must cooperate."

"Thank you, Dad, I'll tell my fourth sister now!" Zhao Yuanzhu jumped and ran away.
