Liu Rushi doesn't know that Rong Di is now in the hands of Bai Qingyu and is already in the pocket of Da Zhou. As a minister of Da Zhou, Liu Rushi is not surprised to have this idea.

But Bai Qingyan can't disclose a Yu's identity to Liu Rushi yet. Bai Qingyan only said: "The reason why Lord Liu delayed Li Zhijie, the burning king of Xiliang, was that our people who inquired about the news in Xiliang were arrested, but now it's not clear whether they were arrested because of their exposed identity or something else! Bai Qingqi has left for Xiliang. Whether the alliance is signed or not... Bai Qingqi has the full power to decide, but... Before all the dust is settled, Li Zhijie has to stay in metropolis."

Liu Rushi was stunned and then nodded: "Your Majesty said so, I understand, but... The festival of King li of Xiliang Yan entered the metropolis to congratulate your Majesty on his accession to the throne. He rashly detained Li's festival in the metropolis, for fear that he would be criticized."

"Li Zhijie will never leave the metropolis before the agreement is finalized. He has only three ways. Either he will make an alliance with Dazhou, or he will choose to join hands with the ghost face Lord of Rong Di to resist the powerful country, or... He will make an alliance with the ninth Lord of Dayan. Once Rong Di Xiliang goes to war, the state of Yan will restrict us to Dazhou!"

Liu Rushi was about to speak when he saw Bai Qingyan waving his hand and motioning him to finish listening: "the purpose of our great Zhou Dynasty is to unify the world, so we must not watch Xiliang and Rongdi destroy one of them and form a situation of confrontation with us. Otherwise, it would be more difficult to unify the world at that time than today!"

Liu Rushi is upright. He knows that Bai Qingyan's words start from the overall situation, but... Liu Rushi thinks that even for the overall situation, he can't give up the word morality.

"I didn't stand at your Majesty's height, so I didn't understand your Majesty's control over the overall arrangement, but I still understood your Majesty's words." Liu Rushi's attitude was very rigorous, "Nevertheless, I still want to speak to your majesty. If someone prevents King Yan of Xiliang from leaving Dadu... That's all! But we are a great country in the great Zhou Dynasty. If we coerce the envoys to congratulate them and forbid them to leave the capital of the great Zhou Dynasty, they will be criticized! How can we get Xiliang? Please think twice!"

As soon as Liu Rushi's voice fell, he heard a report from the outside saying that Wei bugong, the Minister of household, asked for an audience.

Liu Rushi got up, went to the center of the hall and bowed to Bai Qing: "I'll leave first."

"Lord Liu, there's one more thing I want to entrust to you." Bai Qingyan smiled and looked at Liu Rushi. "From next month, an important official will be sent every three days to discuss state affairs with the students of the Imperial College. Lord Liu will go first... To discuss with the students whether to make an alliance with Xiliang and Rong di."

Liu Rushi didn't expect Bai Qingyan to ask him to take national affairs to discuss with the students, but he should come down and bow and leave.

Outside the hall, Liu Rushi and Wei bugong met. They saluted each other. Just after greeting each other, they saw Bai Jinse coming to see Bai Qingyan with soup and snacks. They quickly sidled away from the door of the hall and let Bai Jinse advance.

After returning from disaster relief, Wei bugong became a lot thinner. Once he returned to metropolis, he knew that Bai Qingyan wanted to build schools everywhere. Bai Qingyan asked him to do it as soon as possible.

The first person who wants to give money is the household that takes the money. Wei bugong hasn't slept for a few days. He has calculated all the money he needs to spend. He specially came to see Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan means that every county should set up male and female schools, but it is still difficult for the national treasury to take out this much money at present. Wei bugong wants to discuss with Bai Qingyan and wants to reduce the number of schools by half.

After hearing Wei bugong's meaning, Bai Qingyan suddenly remembered that when his grandfather was still alive, he came back to ask for a pension for the casualties of the Bai family army. He fell beside his horse angrily and said such a sentence

My grandfather said that the ministers of household of various countries are in charge of a country's money bag, but if you want to say who is the most poor, the ministers of household of various countries say that second, absolutely no one dares to be the first.

Dad brought tea to appease his grandfather and said that the Minister of household also has the difficulties of the Minister of household. It's not so easy to manage the money bag of a country. This was taught by his grandfather. The older he gets, the more he goes back. It seems more childish than a Bao's child.

Grandpa was speechless and angrily pointed to his father... Saying that Dad turned his elbow out.

Recalling the old current events, she couldn't resist a shallow smile.

Sitting on the soft couch, Wei bugong, who looked down at Bai Qingyan, was at a loss and looked up at Bai Qingyan.

Seeing this, Bai Jinse put the soup at Bai Qingyan's hand and said to Wei bugong, "if you want to come, you should think of what your grandfather once said... The Minister of household is the most poor."

Seeing Bai Qingyan nodded, Wei bugong couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to talk to Bai Qing: "Your Majesty, after all, the establishment of a school is not a very important thing. You can let it go a little. The lower officer dared to speak to your majesty. Please think twice."

"Give half of this snack to Lord Wei, and the soup to Lord Wei." Bai Qingyan smiled. "Lord Wei hasn't eaten yet. We'll make do with the snack pad first. We'll talk while eating."

When did Wei bugong see such an easy-going emperor? He kowtowed and said he didn't dare.

"Lord Wei doesn't have to be so formal. Although it's for business, you can't forget to eat and sleep... If you really burn yourself out, where can I find another Minister of household! Use it together. Although kings and ministers should be polite, they don't have to be too harsh!"

Bai Qingyan came back from the Imperial College. Now he hasn't rested or eaten, so Bai Jinse came to deliver food to his eldest sister.

Wei Zhong took the dim sum and soup to the table in front of Wei bugong. Wei bugong quickly thanked Bai Qingyan. He saw Bai Qingyan holding a dim sum with silver chopsticks. While eating, he looked through the detailed accounts he sent. Then he picked up the dim sum with chopsticks and ate it.

Not long ago, Bai Qingyan finished reading the detailed accounts that Wei bugong sent her. She put down her tea cup: "well, I've finished..."

Wei bugong, who was eating snacks, heard Bai Qingyan's words. He quickly put down his chopsticks and saluted Bai Qingyan. Before he could say anything, he choked on the snacks and swallowed hard. Then he said, "Your Majesty, this is still a minister who borrowed someone from the Minister of the Ministry of industry and estimated the required money according to the most provincial inspection method. At the beginning of the week, there was nothing to be done. We should come first."

Bai Qingyan nodded, then unfolded the bamboo slips on one side and said, "Lord Wei thinks that seeing the school is more important than building the imperial mausoleum... Repairing the imperial mausoleum is a top priority?"

Wei bugong looked up at Bai Qingyan and looked puzzled. This is naturally a top priority
