Chapter 840: Fighting in the Open and Fighting in the Dark (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Votes)
After Xiao Xie became emperor, he immediately purchased potatoes, a high-yield grain seed, from the World Mall, and then distributed them to the people.
For the common people, in fact, no matter who is the emperor, for them, there is no difference, as long as they can live a stable life, then they are good emperors.
With potatoes, a high-yield crop, the people will no longer have to starve to death due to lack of food.
Just the matter of potatoes, Xiao Xie is already known as the Holy Emperor among the people. In their eyes, Xiao Xie is already comparable to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and he is a rare good emperor in the world.
After all, the saying that the people take food as the sky is not just talking, in ancient times, food was more final than anything in the eyes of the people.
In ancient times, the nobles controlled the power, so even the emperor rarely considered the interests of ordinary people.
And Xiao Xie is different, Xiao Xie's purpose is to earn worship points, so for Xiao Xie, for the sake of the people, let more people worship themselves is the most important thing.
In addition to potatoes, Xiao Xie also formulated a series of policies to reduce taxes and benefit the country and the people, and with Xiao Xie's actions, the people naturally worshiped and respected Xiao Xie more and more.
It can be said that if someone wants to overthrow Xiao Xie at this time, I am afraid that the first people who will not agree will be the people.
Because of Xiao Xie's presence, these people can live a prosperous life, and whoever wants to overthrow Xiao Xie just doesn't want them to live a good life, of course they don't agree.
Although Xiao Xie has implemented various tax reduction and exemption policies, the treasury is more abundant than in the previous dynasty.
You must know that although Xiao Xie is exempted from taxes, the people grow potatoes and earn several times as much money as before, so even if the taxes are reduced, the tax money does not decrease but increases.
……
Time flies, and more than seven spring and autumn seasons have passed since Xiao Xie ascended the throne and became emperor in the blink of an eye.
Luoyang City, in the palace, Xiao Xie, who was wearing a gilded dragon robe, walked towards Li Maozhen's bedroom.
After Xiao Xie ascended the throne and became emperor, he directly drove all the eunuchs out of the palace.
Now there are only palace maids in the palace, and Xiao Xie also taught these palace maids some superficial martial arts, so he is not afraid that they will not have the strength to work.
Although eunuchs can no longer be regarded as men, but when they think of being served by eunuchs, Xiao Xie will feel goosebumps fall to the ground, so in the palace, there are only palace maids.
"The emperor has arrived!"
When he was about to arrive at the Zhaoyang Hall where Li Maozhen was, the palace maid who followed Xiao Xie hurriedly shouted loudly.
"Meet the Emperor! Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live......"
……
Hearing the shouts of the palace maids, the palace maids in the Zhaoyang Hall all knelt down respectfully.
"Let's all be flat!"
Xiao Xie waved his hand and walked directly into the Zhaoyang Palace.
"Concubines, see Your Majesty!"
"Son, see my father!"
"Okay, don't be polite, get up quickly! Didn't I say that you don't need to be so polite in front of me. Xiao Xie hurriedly stretched out his hand, helped Li Maozhen and Xiao Lie up, and chuckled.
"Your Majesty, the ceremony must not be abolished!"
Li Maozhen winked mischievously at Xiao Xie and smiled.
"You!"
Xiao Xie saw Li Maozhen selling cuteness to herself, and couldn't help but smile and scratch her Qiong's nose.
Although more than seven years have passed, there is the Zhuyan Pill given by Xiao Xie, so Li Maozhen's appearance has not aged at all, and due to the breakthrough of cultivation to the Shenxiao position, Li Maozhen's lifespan has increased greatly, and her skin has become smoother.
"Lie'er, tell your father what you've done lately?"
Xiao Xie turned his head to look at Xiao Budian beside Li Maozhen, and asked with a smile.
Xiao Bu's name, called Xiao Lie, is the son of Xiao Xie and Li Maozhen, he is now six years old, and he is also Xiao Xie's eldest son, and he has been named the crown prince by Xiao Xie as soon as he was born.
"Back to my father, my sons have learned some art of war from my mother these days, and I have watched my mother deal with political affairs on the sidelines, hoping to help my father as soon as possible. Xiao Lie arched his hand towards Xiao Xie and replied in a milky voice.
Although Xiao Lie is only six years old, in the palace, children are usually precocious, obviously just a little bit, but he just pretends to be a little adult.
Xiao Xie touched Xiao Lie's little head and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that Lie'er is studious, but it's the right way to do things, and you have to go out and have fun more, you know?"
"Thank you, father, son-in-law understands!"
When Xiao Lie heard Xiao Xie's words, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, as a child, it is natural to be playful.
It's just that because he is the crown prince personally set up by Xiao Xie and the next prince, Li Maozhen usually has strict requirements for Xiao Lie. And the sensible little guy, in order not to disappoint the queen mother, will suppress his nature.
"Your Majesty, when you say this, it seems that the concubine is wrong. When Li Maozhen heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Xie.
"Zhen'er, what are these words, when did I blame you, I hurt you before it's too late!" Xiao Xie hugged Li Maozhen and kissed her pretty face.
"Father, mother, son-in-law retired first!"
Xiao Lie, who was on the side, couldn't help but snicker when he saw this scene, saluted Xiao Xie and Li Maozhen, and turned to leave.
"You, there is no one who is doing right all day, in front of Lie'er, just like that, and I'm not afraid of teaching Lie'er badly. ”
When Li Maozhen heard Xiao Lie's words, a layer of blush appeared on her pretty face, and she slapped Xiao Xie's chest lightly, and said coquettishly.
"Is this considered a lack of righteousness?
"I hate it, giggle...... It's so itchy......"
……
The palace maids outside the dormitory, hearing the frolicking of the emperor and the queen, glanced at each other, and a smile flashed in their eyes.
These palace maids are all Li Maozhen's people, and now that Li Maozhen is favored, in front of other palace maids, they are naturally a head taller, so they are naturally happy.
Over the years, the harem has been divided into two factions, one is headed by Li Maozhen, and the other is headed by Bingyuan.
In fact, Xiao Xie saw these things in his eyes, but Xiao Xie was also happy to see this, and the reason why Xiao Xie let them go was because of two reasons.
The first reason: Although Li Maozhen and Bingyuan don't look at each other well, they are just petty fights.
The two of them are smart people, and they know where Xiao Xie's bottom line is, so they don't dare to make a big deal about it, otherwise if they annoy Xiao Xie and make Xiao Xie disgusted, it will be more than worth the loss.
