Hearing Ying Su say that he couldn't go, Yue Xi's heart sank, guessing that the things he said must not be easy to solve, otherwise the emperor would still be able to leave the imperial capital for a few days when he went out to escape the summer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now he says that he can't leave, that is, he is really entangled, and he can't leave at all.

"I'll send the old lady's son over first, and then I'll come back to accompany you little poor boy......" He had just bathed, his slender body was wearing a pure white silk gown, exuding a faint and cool smell of mint grass, Yue Xi took a deep breath on his chest: "It smells so good......"

She was very obsessed with the smell of his body. The smell would make her feel quiet and peaceful.

"The lady will stay for a few days and come back, and it will be better after Futian." I just said that I would let her come back earlier, and I changed my mind in a blink of an eye. Ying Su raised his hand and put his arm around her shoulder, and the two of them walked to the chair in front of the window and sat down.

"Let's talk about it......" Yue Xi replied noncommittally.

After Han Yangchun left Beijing, he only came with a secret report begging for grain and grass, and there was no news after that. The generals of the defenders of the three coastal counties are white and black, which has always been a problem for Ying Su, and Han Yangchun will not send back the news of the situation over there, which will also increase the doubts in his heart.

There were many natural disasters in the territory of Jokhang, and Yue Xishan could guess that His Majesty the Emperor was not having a good time by looking at him from time to time with a wrinkled brow on one place.

He is destined to be a lonely person, if he leaves him to go to Huagai Mountain, then he can only be even more lonely, and he will not even have a pillow person to talk to himself......

"Yue Xi ......" In a moment of silence, Ying Su opened his mouth again and again.

"Huh?" Yue Xi raised his eyes to look at him, only to feel that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have lost some weight, and the green aura on his face had almost faded, replaced by a kind of calmness in his hands holding heavy power, and there was a kind of momentum that made people look up!

"I don't have any money......" Ying Su lowered his eyes when she looked at her inquiring, as if what he said made him very embarrassed.

"No money?" He was able to say such a thing to surprise Yue Xi! You know, since the two of them lived together, they have never talked about money. All the expenses of the family were earned by Yue Xi.

When she was poor, she only thought of ways to earn money, and never thought of reaching out to men.

Even if that person is Yingsu, she won't reach out.

"Is Childe going to sell himself?" Such a topic embarrassed him, and Yue Xi made a joke, trying to lighten the atmosphere: "But you have to let me have a physical examination...... After all, my child's father has the appearance of a country and a city, and ordinary people can't get into my eyes! ”

"You have a child and his father, why do you still have to test my body?" Ying Su raised his eyes to her, and his tone was quite unkind!

"Yes!" Yue Xi sat down and watched His Majesty the Emperor eat his own dry vinegar, she only felt funny.

Putting away the hippie smile, Yue Xi changed into the appearance of this gentleman: "The test is also a white test, my child and his father are incomparable, unique, and bubbling with beauty...... Just you? You can't compare! ”

"Huh!" Ying Su turned his face to look out the window, and chuckled in his mouth: "Dengzi...... ...... who didn't do it right"

"Well, let's get it serious." Yue Xi got up and poured two cups of tea over, and handed Ying Su a cup: "My mother's herbal tea." ”

Ying Su took a sip and swallowed it slowly before he said softly: "I'm talking about the empty treasury and not much silver." ”

Yue Xi took the teacup and drank it one after another, without stubble.

"Lady, why don't you speak." After waiting for a while, Ying Su watched her finish drinking a cup of herbal tea and actually poured another cup, as if she was so thirsty, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you so thirsty?" ”

"I'm not thirsty at all." Yue Xi put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "It's just that Your Majesty has said more than once that the so-called harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." So I have nothing to say. ”

"......" You have to jump by yourself in the pit you dug yourself, Ying Su smiled bitterly: "This is the child's father talking to you, not in the palace......"

"Oh?" Yue Xi's two eyebrows, one high and one low, made a strange appearance: "If you have difficulties, you have to be a child's father?" If I have too many mouths, what will you do after the fall? ”

"Yuexi!" Ying Su looked at her, his eyes flashed, and he glared at her with disgust: "I'm going to die of annoyance for my husband!" You're still ...... like that."

No one is annoyed if he doesn't have money, not to mention that he still has to be in charge of the entire Jokhang country, and he has to spend money everywhere, so he must be 'annoyed'...... Yue Xi sighed secretly, it's not easy to be in charge......

"This year, there have been many disasters in the north and south, and a lot of money has been spent on disaster relief alone, and if this continues, the silver in the treasury will soon be spent." When it came to troubles, Ying Su's face sank slightly, and his brows frowned slightly: "The three coastal counties are still fighting...... It all costs money. ”

"But most of the money in the treasury comes from taxes, and now that the normal taxes of the farmers can be paid by the end of the year......

"You want to raise taxes?" Yue Xi interface road.

"Hmm." Ying Su nodded: "It's just an idea, I haven't said it in the court yet." ”

Jun didn't joke, what he said in the court was an order, and when he wasn't sure in his own heart whether this idea could be implemented, Ying Su couldn't easily speak.

"The increase and decrease of taxes and the implementation of the monarchs of all dynasties must act cautiously and cautiously, and a careless person may shake the country's foundation." The lower the voice of Ying Su's voice, the heavier it became: "The agricultural tax can no longer be increased, and I want to change it to the commercial tax!" ”

"Since the founding of Taizu, the Zhao Dynasty has implemented the decree of low taxation and low taxes, which has not changed for more than 100 years, and I am afraid that as long as I say this idea in the court, it will be opposed by the courtiers."

"It is wise for a country to adopt a policy of low taxation and low taxation in the early days of the country. After all, after seizing power in the war, the people urgently need to recuperate, and the newly ascended royal family also needs to consolidate their rule over the country. Yue Xi listened carefully to his words, and thought for a while before opening his mouth cautiously.

"But the country has lasted for a hundred years, and the problems facing Jokhang today are no longer the problems of the founding of the country." Yue Xi whispered to Shang Yingsu's gaze: "So, I can understand your idea of raising your business tax." ”

"Really?!" Ying Su's eyes lit up instantly, he reached out to hold Yue Xi's hand and shook it: "Thank you for your understanding!" ”

Yue Xi shook his head: "I don't say this because I am your lady, but because I am the owner of the Taiping Bureau." ”

Ying Su waited for her words.

Yue Xi is a businessman, and a large part of her words can represent the views of those who are also businessmen.

In Yingsu's view, whether the increase in commercial tax can be implemented in the end is nothing more than two things: the recognition of the imperial court and the support of merchants.

Neither of these is easy for the interests of all parties......

"It's okay to raise business taxes, but you have to show businessmen the benefits of raising business taxes." Yue Xi continued: "After all, no one wants to do anything that is not profitable, and no one wants to do anything that is not beneficial. ”

"You can't 'want the horse to run and the horse doesn't eat grass'......"

Ying Su nodded: "Can you tell me how the 'horses' can run?" ”

"It's easy for the 'horses' to run, and it's a good way to give them their rightful status...... I think those courtiers in your court are even more difficult to deal with! Yue Xi got up and closed the window, and the two of them sat on their knees, and neither of them felt the heat.

"yes." Ying Su agreed with her statement: "Since ancient times, the ranking of farmers and industry and commerce has been orderly, and if the status of merchants in Dazhao is improved according to what the lady said, those scholars will definitely be unwilling." ”

Most of the officials in the imperial court climbed up step by step through the imperial examination, and in their cognition, everything is inferior, but reading high is engraved in their bones.

Even a slight increase in the status of a merchant would be considered offensive to the scholars!

"Huh!" Yue Xi sneered: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why these people are unwilling? ”

Ying Su looked at her.

"It's just that they don't want a piece of the pie!" Yue Xi's eyes were full of disdain: "These people, the most disgusting!" ”

"The biggest merchants in the capital of the Jokhang Emperor are actually these scholars who keep saying that they look down on merchants! They have the right to run their business like a fish in water, and if ordinary people want to do business, and if they do a little bigger, people from the government will come to them to make it difficult......"

"On the one hand, they are proud to be scholars, and on the other hand, they are constantly opening their purses and constantly collecting money to enrich themselves! The system of low commercial tax for more than 100 years in the Jokhang has raised a bunch of duplicitous villains, so I assert: As soon as Your Majesty's method of raising commercial taxes is proposed in the court, a large group of people will jump out to oppose it! ”

"Your Majesty only needs to get these people done, then everything else will be solved!"

"What does the lady think?" Ying Su looked at her suspiciously.

He was born until now, and he is also anxious about silver.

When he was still a prince, the farm under his name was also taken care of, and he never cared about it, and he rarely asked. Listen to the steward's account only occasionally.

At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Ying Su focused more on seizing power, and now that the court has been decided, he knows that he is anxious about the silver, and he is a little helpless!

"Money and power are not separated." Yue Xi smiled: "After cleaning up the people in power, Your Majesty's silver will not be worried......"

"Money and power are not separated...... "Ying Su repeated her words and asked, "Is it good or bad?" ”

"Then it depends on what you think, Your Majesty......" Yue Xi patted his thigh: "No matter how good the policy is, it must be implemented on the head of the people in the end, Your Majesty, you will manage the people...... I don't have what you can do. So it's in charge of the Taiping Bureau. ”

"Sneer......" Ying Su glanced at her: "Arranged as a husband again!" ”

"Nope!" Yue Xi raised his hands and said, "There are gods three feet above my head, I swear to the gods on my head, I really didn't arrange you!" I do think managing people is the hardest thing to do......"

Such a statement coincides with the imperial way that Yingsu adheres to.

For the emperor, one person is the sky, the power is in hand, judging the situation, making the best use of things, making the best use of talents, and having a wide heart to accommodate the world...... It is not necessary to be personally involved, but it must be able to employ people and be good at attracting people's hearts!

"The lady's words are of great benefit to the husband." Yue Xi's reason is very simple, as long as you control those who hold the lifeblood of business, you will naturally be able to smoothly implement the purpose of raising commercial taxes. And managing people is Yingsu's strength, which makes him a little less worried and more confident.

"A king who can be supported by the people must also work for the people's welfare." Yue Xi got up: "If you give more benefits to the people instead of those few people, the treasury will naturally have more silver......"

"Why are you going?" Seeing that she was about to move around again, Ying Su grabbed her.

"Look at my son, we've been talking for a long time, and I haven't heard any movement in the yard." Yue Xi replied.

"It's a son again...... You won't even look at your husband a few more times! He leaned up, bit her ear and said, "I want to thank my husband very much......

"Don't you have no money?" Yue Xi smiled: "How can you thank you?" ”

"Sell your body......" His Majesty the Emperor gritted his teeth and said: "The lady is not allowed not to buy!" ”
