Chapter 706: The Crisis After the War

Ye Hua was holding a piece of beeswax the size of a palm in his hand and was carefully polishing it. The so-called thousand-year-old amber and ten thousand-year-old beeswax. This thing was condensed from pine oil several years ago, so it has a soft texture and a rosin smell.

Ye Hua threw the polished debris into the stove at hand, emitting a dazzling bright yellow flame, and the rosin smell filled the entire room, which was very pleasant.

At Ye Hua's feet, there were two hairy little mastiffs lying on their feet. This was also a tribute presented by Tubo. It is said that the beast that can fight with lions and tigers!

I don’t know if these two little things can withstand the rolling slap when they grow up!

Ye Hua thought with a smile. At this time, the door suddenly opened. Old Wei walked in quickly without any notice and sat opposite Ye Hua. Seeing that he was still polishing beeswax, Old Wei was furious!

"You are still in a state of mind or not? When is it time to lose your ambitions when you play with things!"

He reached out to snatch it, and Ye Hua quickly dodged away and said seriously: "Mr. Wei, I have been away from home for almost two years. I finally came back. This is a gift to my son and daughter, otherwise they would not call me dad!"

"Pooh!"

Old Wei scolded, "You are just like this? It's really despising!"

Ye Hua was not angry either, but just polished it patiently, "The provocation method is useless to me. If you have any questions, just tell me, otherwise please leave and don't disturb me in my work!"

Old Wei was going crazy. Ye Hua was not old, but he learned the ability to hob meat. He couldn't steam or cook it hard. I don't know what he made it?

What kind of moment is this? Everyone is going crazy, and he can be as safe as a mountain!

Old Wei took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice: "Three days later, the Holy Lord will return to the capital. In addition to rewarding the heroes, there is another thing, which is to elect the successor Prime Minister, do you know?"

Ye Hua seemed to have not heard it, and continued to stare at the beeswax in his hand. Until Old Wei's patience was about to disappear, Ye Hua raised his head blankly, "It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue to recommend officials. Selecting the Prime Minister is the emperor's intention. If you are not in his position and do not do your business, what do you ask me?" Ye Hua said innocently and confusedly.

Old Wei was so angry that his teeth itched, and he wanted to tear Ye Hua's face into eight petals and feed the Tibetan mastiff on the ground!

"You kid, don't play tricks with me anymore. Just ask if you can help?"

Ye Hua finally smiled. He stuffed beeswax into his sleeves and said happily: "Mr. Wei, it's hard to speak for you. Don't worry, no one can do the position of Prime Minister except you! I will do my best to deal with it, so don't worry!"

Ye Hua has already considered the candidate for prime minister more than once.

Originally, Fan Zhi was more suitable than Wei Renpu, but Lao Fan was the Minister of Personnel and all officials were promoted to him. If he succeeded as prime minister, his power would be too great.

The rest of Xue Juzheng and Zhao Shangjun were not able to catch up. As for the surrendered ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, they were unable to convince the public. Zhao Pu, Shen Yilun and other middle-aged and powerful generations were still short of time.

After all the calculations, Lao Wei is competent.

He was willing, and Ye Hua naturally agreed readily.

"Actually, with the status of Guardian Wei, there is no need to worry. Even without me, the Prime Minister will be stable! Who makes you respected!"

Wei Renpu narrowed his old eyes and drank tea. He could hear Ye Hua's flattery. He was very helpful, but Old Wei's face darkened.

"Champion Hou, I came to you this time to tell you that no matter what, you are not allowed to push me as prime minister! If you dare to do this, I will commit suicide immediately!"

As soon as these words were said, Ye Hua was shocked.

"I said, Mr. Wei, you didn't take the wrong medicine, right? The Prime Minister of the Cabinet, one person is more than ten thousand people, and many people have been in a lifetime, but they can't get the position. Now they are within their reach, but you want to push it out. What are you thinking!" Ye Hua asked Lao Wei in a strong questioning tone.

Wei Renpu's face was a little hesitant.

In fact, since Guo Wei's time, he wanted to surpass the other two and become the prime minister. This dream has been going on for ten years... But when it really came true, Lao Wei was afraid.

He stood up, shook his official uniform, and then bowed deeply to Ye Hua.

"Mr. Marquis, we have joined forces and fought with each other. The grudges and grudges of the past have been written off... I only ask you one thing. This time, I will help me and avoid this prime minister. I am grateful!"

Wei Renpu said, bowing to the ground and bent to ninety degrees.

It’s really hard for the old man. He is old and has a good waist!

He bent in front of him and forced Ye Hua to agree.

But what should Ye Hua do?

Apart from Wei Renpu, who else can take over as Prime Minister?

The cabinet chair cannot be easily seated! It requires prestige, means, and self-awareness. It is too difficult to find such a person.

Ye Hua was stunned for a long time and reached out to help Wei Renpu up.

"Mr. Wei, I can promise you, but I want to know the reason!"

Old Wei nodded, "Marty, this is a long letter written to me by Mr. Wang half a month before his death. You can take it and take it to see it!"

Wang Pu’s letter!

Ye Hua showed horror on his face. He took the letter and the familiar font appeared in front of him.

Looking at each line, there were all the situations described by Wang Pu. Ye Hua's heart became colder the more he looked at it. In the end, his scalp became numb and his whole body was trembling!

"how so?"

Old Wei nodded slightly, "Mr. Marquis, I don't want to be the prime minister. My talents are really limited. I can't deal with this mess! Mr. Wang was exhausted to death. I was sitting in that position, but I was afraid I didn't even have his ability. Marquis, if you are in a hurry to attend my funeral, put me on the fire and roast me!"

After saying that, Lao Wei stood up and left without waiting for Ye Hua's answer.

As for Ye Hua, he grabbed Wang Pu's letter and read it three times, from the initial horror to the end of calming down. He pondered for a long time before calling his confidant to invite Fu San over.

"The situation written above is basically true, and as far as I know, the situation is much more serious than I imagined!" Fu San told Ye Hua bluntly.

"Then... why didn't you say it earlier?"

Fu San smiled, "Master, even if I say it, can you give up on the Western Regions? Can Your Majesty nod? The battle is not over, and he is preparing to immigrate to five million! He came out at once, but he didn't know how much financial resources it would consume! Wei Renpu is a smart man. If he sits in that position, he will be crushed to death in three days!"

Ye Hua pressed his forehead that was about to explode and asked helplessly: "Madam, you have been operating the industry for so many years, so there is no good way?"

Fu San hesitated for a moment, shook his head helplessly, "Everything can be used. People say I am a female god of wealth, but I know in my heart that I owe the most debts in the world and can't even pay them back!"

Ye Hua sighed, walked to his wife silently, and wrapped her hand around her shoulder, "Madam, it's all my fault. You have been taking debts for me over the years!"

Fu San's nose was sore, and then she smiled again, "Who told me to owe you what I have? Master, please find a way for myself. I have to take care of San'er. That kid is getting more and more naughty!"

Fu San broke free from her husband's arms and wanted to leave, but Ye Hua didn't know that Ye Hua did not allow it. Instead, he reached out to his hand and held Fu San's body across his legs.

Although they are an old couple, this look is really indecent.

"What are you doing?" Fu San asked angrily, but she couldn't say anything next, and the two of them were stamped together...

The next day, Ye Hua felt refreshed and seemed to have left all his worries behind.

He talked and laughed with all the generals, talking about how much reward the court would give and how the people in the capital would welcome them. Everyone smiled happily, their faces seemed to be blooming, and they didn't know at all that the treasury was empty!

"Ludoson, you bastard!"

Xu Xuan, who was temporarily in charge of the branch secretary, cursed with anger, and his pupils were congested... The national treasury was empty, there was no silver or money at all, the Taicang was empty, and there was no grain in a grain. Apart from the grain that was often closed and prepared for disasters, the capital could not find any other grain.

Not to mention food, even the original silk cloth disappeared.

There is nothing left in Kaifeng!

And the hundreds of thousands of troops outside returned one after another, and the rewards to the victorious soldiers alone would cost at least 20 million taels!

Lu Duosun didn't want to please the prince at all. His grandson wanted to run away and leave the mess to others!

Xu Xuan was in a panic and looked around the capital. There were not many people who could still pay for money.

"Taifu, can you borrow some money from the court for the time being and overcome this difficulty?"

Chai Shouli was much older than a few years ago. He chuckled, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

"I will do my best, but I can only take out one million taels at most!"

"One million?"

Xu Xuan was shocked and thought that Chai Shouli did not transport silver every year, one ship after another. Legend has it that he has mountains of gold and silver, why is it only one million taels?

"Tao Fu! This..."

"Do you want to say too little?"

"There are too few, at most a triumphal ceremony can be held!"

Chai Shouli shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Shangshu Xu, don't you not know who the person who returned from triumphant return! My blood is bleeding from him! Will I feel sorry for money?"

Chai Shouli suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice: "In this way, I will find another way to raise two million. The triumphal ceremony must be held with great success. Don't neglect the soldiers!"

"Then, what's next?" Xu Xuan was about to cry.

"Next..." Chai Shouli smiled bitterly, "Then we can only ask someone who is more capable to clean up the mess!"

After saying that, Chai Shouli left the mansion and got on the carriage. He thought about it. There were not many people in the capital. Dou Yujun's place was not good. After the war, the orders for the workshop suddenly stopped. Whether he could overcome the difficulties was still between the two. He had already borrowed a lot of money from the rich merchants in Jiangnan, and as for the others, they did not have the financial resources...

After all the calculations, the only one of the Ye family was left. To be honest, Chai Shouli didn't know how deep Ye Hua's family was. He put his heart in mind and emptied his family's family. How good can Ye Hua be?

Three days later, the troops will return triumphantly, so you can't let the soldiers feel disappointed! Don't worry about face, but also for the stability of the world. If you know that the Great Zhou was at the end of your battle and the small boys from all directions took the opportunity to rise up, it would be troublesome.
