Chapter 320 (1/2)
Li Huaide looked at the sky and said with a smile, ”the snow is falling just right. I'll accompany you to enjoy the snow later.”
Yu Qingyao shook her head and said sadly, ”today's snow is so heavy that some poor people can't live. Emperor, I want to give some hot porridge and cotton padded clothes in the street.”
Wu Zhen covered her face. Master, you're here again. Do you want to be such a dedicated virgin? When are you still playing this?
The palace maids are confused. It's not easy for the emperor to come. Why don't you play with the emperor and say such a disappointing thing?
Li Huaide understood very well, because, as far as he knew, younger martial sister was such a charitable person.
He smiled and said, ”Qing Yao, I'll send someone to help you do it. I promise it will be done properly. It's so cold and windy outside, so don't go.”
With that, he immediately ordered the whole city to give relief to the poor.
On the surface, Yu Qingyao appreciated it and scolded in her heart: holding the grass and letting me out of the palace will die!
In fact, she wanted to deceive the emperor to let her out of the palace so that she could find a chance to sneak away.
Unexpectedly, Li Huaide cared so much that he was afraid that his younger martial sister would catch cold, so he decided to send someone to help her do good deeds.
He also specifically asked to publicize that it was Yu Qingyao's credit. It was her advice to the emperor that made the emperor show kindness. Li Huaide is also happy to promote his reputation for younger martial sister.
Yu Qingyao had no choice but to tell some things, such as thick porridge and standing chopsticks. Don't just give in one place, don't just put up a porridge shed on the busy street. The cotton padded clothes in the house should be thicker. There is no need for new ones, and the old ones can also be used. You can go to the rich people's house to collect the old clothes at a low price, and so on.
She has done many of these things, so she has experience.
Li Huaide ordered people to write it down and asked them to do it all as Yu Qingyao said.
The two discussed and settled the matter. Yu Qingyao naturally laughed with the emperor, as if he had completely forgotten that he was being forced to marry by the man in front of him.
Following the emperor's appreciation of the snow, Yu Qingyao proposed to send cold clothes to the soldiers on the front line.
She thought of one thing. She was building a career to help the poor. It was inevitable that some punks would say sarcastic words. It is hypocritical to say that the soldiers on the front line are hungry and cold, but they only care about the beggars in the street.
Her proposal was unanimously praised by eunuchs and Taoists. They think Yu Qingyao's attitude is very correct. This is the beginning of acting as a queen.
This is a serious matter, which is conducive to improving morale and rallying the morale of the army.
But here's a problem. The state treasury of Wu is out of money.
The former Emperor Wu lived in luxury and spent the national treasury quickly. After years of war with the state of Yue, it is the most expensive to fight. Recently, a post album ceremony was held and a large amount of money was spent on the reconstruction of the palace. The relief has just paid another sum.
The front line is now in a stalemate, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are on the front line. If you add a cold coat, it's not a small number.
Li Huaide was very clear about the situation of the Treasury and couldn't help showing his face.
Yu Qingyao looked at him and guessed that he might have no money. She was very virtuous and said, ”emperor, you gave me so much gold and silver, jewelry, and antique calligraphy and paintings not long ago. Take them first for emergency! You can't let the soldiers freeze.”
Ma Debao said hurriedly, ”fairy, how can I do that? Those things are for you. They can't be used for other purposes.”
That's the bride price and dowry for the queen. It's the Queen's face. How can we do without those things?
