"Wei Ziyao, I think you are crazy!"
The Empress, who had been angered for a long time, finally found an opportunity!
She wanted to let the Northern Wen Emperor take a good look at the person he valued. She wanted to see if he still valued her after she made such a big disclosure!
Just when those who wanted to see Wei Ziyao make a fool of herself were gloating, Wei Ziyao opened her mouth.
"Imperial Father, didn't you want to deal with the slums for a long time? Every inch of land in Shengjing is worth a lot of money. However, those ordinary people have the deeds in their hands. It is easier said than done. I can save a lot of trouble by doing this. "
Wei Ziyao smiled like a villain at this time.
"Wei Ziyao! You are talking nonsense! " The Empress slammed the table and stood up: "How can you deal with it in a day? You little girl, you have some ability, but you still dare to talk to the Emperor about governing the country. You used so many people's lives as a stepping stone. You are so vicious at such a young age!"
"That's right!" At this time, some of the ministers who had been supporting the Crown Prince also began to make sarcastic remarks.
"The area of the slums is very large, surrounding the entire Shengjing. How many lives are there? I am afraid that more than half of the people in Shengjing will be buried in the sea of fire!"
"Humph! Wei Ziyao, you can't atone for your crime even with a thousand cuts! "
These people all began to criticize Wei Ziyao from the moral high ground.
But the person involved had an innocent face.
"Daren, if you have the time to criticize me, why don't you quickly send the order to put out the fire?"
"Really! I was so angry that I forgot. Put out the fire! Quickly put out the fire! "
They clamored to put out the fire. Wei Ziyao glanced at these ugly people with disgust.
"Your Majesty, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival. All the ministers have given you a gift. I really have nothing to give you. This fire is my gift to you."
"Wei Ziyao! You still dare to talk nonsense. There are so many lives, and you say that it is a gift to the Emperor! Guards! Drag her away! "
The Empress shouted until her voice broke. Wei Ziyao chuckled.
"Empress, you don't have to step on me in such a hurry. Can't you wait for me to finish speaking?"
"Speak!" At this moment, the Northern Wen Emperor finally spoke.
This was because he did not know what Wei Ziyao had up her sleeves.
If such a big fire really hurt the people, then it would mean that he had misjudged Wei Ziyao all this time.
"Your Majesty, there's actually no one in the commoner district."
"No one? How is that possible? "The Empress couldn't believe it.
"Indeed, there's no one left. Previously, I asked my father for help and asked him to transfer troops over to build a large temporary residential area outside the city. It's all set up with military tents. There are tents for 100,000 troops and my subsidies. Some of those who don't want to stay in the capital have already left to visit relatives."
"Wei Ziyao! What the hell are you talking about? Do you know how many people live in the civilian district? "
The Minister of Revenue didn't believe it at all. "The entire civilian district has nearly 600,000 people. It's more than half of Shengjing's population. How can you not know how to make these people listen to you?"
"My Lord, I didn't do it secretly …" Wei Ziyao was speechless. "I just said that I transferred an entire army over. There are more than twenty thousand of them, and they're going through the west gate. This group of people is helping the capital's government to search for trusted aides, and they're also helping me distribute subsidies. You didn't know about this, right?"
"How is that possible!"
Most of the people present didn't know.
"Your Majesty, do you know?" Wei Ziyao looked at the Northern Wen Emperor.
"I know, but I always thought that you were doing something about the green passage, so I didn't ask. It turns out that you are …"
"600,000 people, more than 100,000 households. I gave each household five taels of silver as subsidies to let them move out. Those who want to visit relatives can do so. Those who want to live in tents can sign a contract to live in tents. I started to take care of these things at the beginning of August. It's all done in fifteen days."
