An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 1302

Yun Shang completely entrusted the matters of the Wanshou Festival to the Ministry of Rites. But in less than two days, the Minister of Rites came to beg Yun Shang.

"Your majesty, I have discussed with you about the arrangement of the Wanshou Festival. Except for the cups, bowls, dishes and the theatrical troupe, your majesty didn't make any comments."

"But when I asked the Ministry of Revenue for money, they didn't agree. They said the soldiers at the frontier didn't have enough food and clothes. Although the Wanshou Festival is a big event, we can't be too extravagant. "

"Your majesty, we have already cancelled a lot of things! It couldn't be reduced any more... Those were all consented by your majesty. How about your majesty call them here and tell them? "

Yun Shang raised her eyes and wondered, "Official Wu, you have probably misunderstood me. Although I have only pointed out two things which I thought particularly unnecessary. But it doesn't mean that I have agreed on everything else. "

"I don't know much about the national treasury and the Wanshou Festival, so I don't dare to say anything easily. Otherwise, if anything happens, I can't bear it."

"Female members in the imperial household are not allowed to meddle with political officials. . His majesty ordered you to ask for my opinions just because the preparations for Wanshou Festival also have something to do with the imperial household. Except for the part about the imperial household, I dare not make a decision for anything else.

With a warm smile on her face, Yun Shang said, "How about you go to ask his majesty again?"

"Or, you can have a good discussion with the officials from the Ministry of Revenue? I believe that they are not stubborn and unreasonable people. If you really have a good reason, they won't refuse. "

Official Wu guessed that Yun Shang must have known they had gossiped about her that day. He felt bitter in his heart. He only smiled bitterly and said, "It's really difficult for me to hold the Wanshou Festival if the Ministry of Revenue doesn't cooperate."

Yun Shang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea casually. "I can't do anything about it. You all have your own difficulties."

"The Ministry of Revenue is responsible for the national treasury. The tax hasn't been collected this year. The soldiers at the border are still waiting for the food and clothing, and the officials in the court are still waiting for the government's salary, and the Ministry of Works is also waiting for the money for constructions. "

"Which one doesn't need money?"

Yun Shang said with a sigh, "The Wanshou Festival is important, but the safety of the people of the State of Xia and the salary of the officials are also important."

Official Wu raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead. "But..."

"All right." Yun Shang smiled and said, "No buts, how can I ask Ministry of Revenue for money? But in my opinion, you don't have to take all the money from the national treasury for the Wanshou Festival."

"If you could hold a grand celebration for the Wanshou festival without taking any money from the national treasury, it will be a great achievement."

Official Wu was stunned. He didn't come to his senses and said, "Without... taking money from the national treasury? "

What can I do?
