Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1189

After Liu Wenan left, a secret guard came to report again, "The notice was posted at a quarter to ten in the morning. By 4 pm, thirty-seven desertedhouseshadbeenburntdownby the fire..."

Luo Qingyan nodded, "What about the rumors in the city?"

"After the houses near the Temple of Heaven were on fire, there were many rumors. It was said that the Emperor and the Empress were ominous people and would affect the luck of the State of Xia. That was why fires came out everywhere on the day of the enthronement and the grand coronation. They also said that the fire was from the heaven and the punishment was from the heaven, too. "

Yun Shang sneered, "There are still many tricks. And even heavenly fire."

The secret guard went on, "But later, after we posted the notice, and spread our ideas out as soon as possible. Soon, the rumors in the city changed.

At the beginning, many people kept an unbelievable attitude. They said that fire was an ominous thing. How could his majesty burn houses on his enthronement ceremony?

But later, many people went to the notice board to read it, and then they began to talk about it and believe it.. Under our deliberate guidance, many people began to talk about this matter.

Some said that his Majesty's action was really bold. It's said that in the world of the Emperor, their life should have been more prosperous than anywhere else. In the Imperial City, there shouldn't have been too many deserted houses, and many of the courtyards have collapsed. It's really not good to leave them there. So your majesty is wise to do so.

After discussing it was right or wrong of this matter as well as whether it was ominous or no for your Majesty's setting fire, people began to discuss gradually where there were houses being burned and what was the most suitable thing to build in that place. Since then, the rumors about the heavenly fire and the ominous rumors about the emperor and the Empress in the morning have completely disappeared. "

Yun Shang nodded, "This makes sense."

The secret guard lowered his eyes and said, "The fire hasn't been completely set out yet, but after the first few fires, someone brought a file from the Ministry of Revenue. We picked out the empty houses whose owners have moved away for many years, or those with no owners at all to burn. We have found sixty or seventy houses all together."

Luo Qingyan nodded, and the corners of his mouth lifted, "The Ministry of Revenue knows how to behave themselves."

Hearing Luo Qingyan's words, Yun Shang turned to look at him with curiosity in her eyes. "The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of all the territory, fields, household registration, tax, wages and other important matters of the State of Xia. It's the head of the six imperial departments. But who is the mister of the current Ministry of Revenue? What your majesty said at the banquet today will make all the officials feel that your majesty has planned it for a long time.

But your majesty just ordered Liu Wenan to send a message to the Ministry of Revenue, asking him to investigate the owners of all the burnt houses and come up a way to compensate them. If the Ministry of Revenue revealed the news, I'm afraid we'll get into trouble. "

Luo Qingyan smiled, "I transferred Li Qianmo from the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of Revenue, and appointed him as the Deputy Minister of Revenue."

Hearing the familiar name, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, "If it is he, then we don't have to worry about it."

Luo Qingyan wanted to smile, but as he heard Yun Shangs words, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, "How your majesty trusts Li Qianmo so much?"

"I have specially arranged Li Qianmo to come to the State of Xia before, and of course, I believe in the person selected by Qian Qian."

Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang suspiciously, "Is that all?"

"Otherwise? Your majesty, why don't you think so?" Yun Shang glanced at Luo Qingyan and smiled more happily, "Are you jealous, your majesty?"
