Chapter 409: The Ministers' Deliberations

What Master Xie couldn't figure out, Mr. Fushan and several other important ministers of the court couldn't figure it out either. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In Zhaoyang Palace, the emperor and queen looked at the people in the hall with dignified and puzzled faces, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Lord Yang," Wang Ji glanced at her husband before turning her head to Yang Zhihe, who was headed down, "How much silver is still in the treasury now?" ”

Yang Zhihe was stunned when he heard this.

A new dynasty is established, and a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived. Now is the time for the imperial court to spend money, and the autumn endowment has not yet been collected, where is there any silver in the treasury!

"Niangniang," Yang Zhihe lowered his head a little ashamedly, "Now there is no silver in the treasury." ”

If it weren't for the support of the queen's inner treasury, I'm afraid that even the ministers of the court and the central government would not be able to send out the money these days.

And as a household secretary, he has no silver in the treasury. Although this is not his fault, Yang Zhihe is still a little embarrassed and can't mind.

Seeing that Yang Zhihe lowered his head a little embarrassed, Wang Jiqing turned his head lightly, and after looking at the ministers in the hall one by one, he smiled and explained.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the treasury is empty now, but this large-scale purification of sea salt requires a lot of silver investment in the early stage."

The court has no money, so naturally it can't do this. Moreover, in Wang Jiqing's eyes, the state apparatus is not used to seek these petty profits.

After Mr. Fushan and the others listened to Wang Jiqing's words, they still couldn't react.

Although this court has no money for a while, as long as this salt sea is made, it will naturally have money. You know, the income from salt has always been the bulk of the national treasury.

After all, the people live on food. And this salt is indispensable for all people in the world.

Instead of rice, you can also eat pasta; Don't eat meat, you can also eat vegetarian food. But what if there is no table salt? That's definitely going to be a fool's errand.

As everyone knows, although the output of this salt is not high, the price is not cheap. Otherwise, why did the imperial court set such a high salt tax?

It is precisely because of this that the imperial court will control the matter of salt well so strictly; It is precisely because of this that there will be an endless stream of illegal salt sales in the world.

Therefore, in the eyes of Mr. Fukuyama and others, this salt road matter must not fall into the hands of others. Otherwise, the court will probably be very passive.

"Niangniang," Mr. Fushiyama said in a deep voice, "although there is no silver in the imperial court now, we can ...... first."

"Do you want to hit the white stripe first?" Wang Ji interrupted him with a chuckle, "Prime Minister, the lives of those ordinary people are already very difficult, if even the imperial court wants to give them white slips, how can you let them live?" ”

Moreover, once this precedent is opened, the Tang Dynasty, which has just been established, may lose its trust to the people.

Without the support of the people, how can we talk about the establishment of a prosperous world!

Li Yuanche naturally understands his wife's intentions best.

At this time, he saw that Mr. Fushiyama was about to speak, but he slowly shook his head.

"The queen is right." Li Yuanche took his wife's hand and stood up, "My Datang will never make a blank slip to the common people!" ”

After speaking, Li Yuanche carefully held his wife's shoulder, looked at each other and nodded with a smile.

The resoluteness in the eyes of the emperor and queen silently stopped Mr. Fuyama's words for the sake of speaking.

Such a Tang Dynasty and such a master are naturally gratifying.

However, in the matter of salt, he still felt that this queen mother, who had always been kind and intelligent, probably still underestimated the influence of this matter.

It's just that the queen has already made a decision, and His Majesty is extremely supportive, what can Mr. Fushiyama and the others say?

But I can only bow my head and sigh softly.

Seeing that several important ministers bowed their heads and sighed, Wang Ji smiled lightly.

"Of course she knows what they're worried about." "What is the fundamental reason why salt is so important in the imperial court?"

She knew that if she didn't fundamentally explain this problem, even if these ministers agreed, she would probably have some pimples in her heart.

When Mr. Fushiyama and others heard this, they were stunned.

Where is the root? The root cause, of course, is the shortage of salt!

If it weren't for the hard-won salt and the scarcity of production, why would the imperial court ......?

Wait, the mother won't know about it. Then why did the lady ask?

Could it be ......? Mr. Fukuyama and the others, who came back to their senses, couldn't help but look up in amazement.

"Niangniang, do you mean ......" Mr. Fukuyama looked up with a look of disbelief.

Seeing that everyone had figured out the key, Wang Ji couldn't help but smile and nodded.

"Yes, the sea salt produced by my method will definitely be endless, inexhaustible." As long as the sea water is not dry, this sea salt is naturally inexhaustible.

After listening to Wang Jiqing's words, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the joy in their eyes couldn't be hidden.

"Niangniang," the ministers bowed together, "and the ministers bowed for the grace of Niangniang for the salt of all the people of the world." ”

In the face of everyone's gratitude, Wang Ji shook his head with a smile.

"Rise up, all my lords." She held her husband's hand, but her heart was infinitely grateful.

Fortunately, Heaven is affectionate, although it has made her a human being in two lives, it has also taught her a lot of things.

Otherwise, if it weren't for the experience of the previous life, how could she have this sea salt purification method.

It's just that although this salt can be produced in large quantities, there are some things that need to be handled by the imperial court.

"Ah Che," she blinked, turning to look at her loving husband beside her. "Thank you."

Although Li Yuanche has not spoken, as long as he stands behind her, this is already the greatest support for her.

Wang Jiqing knew that if she didn't have her husband's full support, even if she was a country, how could she have the opportunity to talk to these ministers in the court!

At this time, I saw Mr. Fushiyama and others; She knew it was time for her to retire. As for the matter of Yanlu, many of the subsequent details were handled by her husband.

Those government affairs are really not what she is good at.

Li Yuanche hugged his wife in his arms, and when he saw the glittering brilliance between her eyebrows, he couldn't help but smile gently.

His lightness, and I don't know where to know so many things.

To heal the country, it's about a woman like this.

"Gently," Li Yuanche clenched his wife's hand, with a look of love on his face, "I'll help you in and rest first." ”

My wife has been sitting here for quite some time, and it's time to rest. Now that his wife is pregnant, but she still has to work hard to manage state affairs, he naturally sees it in his eyes and hurts in his heart.

"It's fine." Wang Ji chuckled and nodded, "I'm a little tired." ”

In fact, it was only an hour since she got up, so how tired could she be? It's just that now that she has a child, she should be careful.

Besides, she really can't bear to worry about her husband's body while worrying about family and country affairs. (To be continued.) )
