------Off topic------

Before the Shangyuan Festival was over, Jincheng came to three of the most noble figures of the Ding Dynasty.

Since the couple had a baby about to be born, their relationship has reached a higher level, and they have reached the point where they have nothing to say.

Li Jingjing smiled: "Okay." I will not betray you. ”

He Jingyan blew in Li Jingjing's ear, gently hugged her fragrant shoulder, and asked, "Lady, grandpa will not spread the word about things that damage the reputation of the emperor's uncle." Neither will you, will you? ”

Li Jingjing muttered, "Why haven't I heard my grandfather say this?" ”

He Jingyan rubbed Li Jingjing's forehead with the tip of his nose, and said softly: "Uncle Emperor likes to collect strange and strange things in the world, many of them are from foreign craftsmen, and they can't be obtained by being powerful, they need to be bought with silver, where is the monthly silver enough." ”

Li Jingjing was puzzled: "Doesn't Your Majesty have moon silver?" ”

"Lady, you don't know anything." He Jingyan leaned over mysteriously and whispered in Li Jingjing's ear: "The treasury is empty, and the emperor's uncle is so poor that even his personal expenses are paid by the queen's aunt." ”

Li Jingjing smiled and said, "Your Majesty is your uncle, of course you say that he is not stingy." ”

He Jingyan said with a smile: "Uncle Emperor has always been stingy, but there is no silver in the treasury. This time, the grandfather got a huge fortune from the Wa Kingdom and the Goryeo Kingdom to the emperor's uncle. The emperor's uncle has silver money in his hand, and he is generous to everyone. ”

This time, He Dong doubled his funding for Longbei.

Li Jingjing couldn't help but smack her mouth, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty is rich now, and I can't believe it's him." ”

Thousands of miles away in Jincheng, He Jingyan and Li Jingjing were also very shocked when they learned of several holy decrees on the first day of the first lunar month.

Buddhism originally wanted to use pilgrims, believers, and the disbanded Tian Jiajun to create riots in various places, forcing He Dong to issue an order to recall all the monks of Chang'an Temple who had gone to the Wa Kingdom.

The people who benefited from it were simply grateful to He Dong, especially the people who had taken off their lowly status and set up immortal tablets for He Dong at home.

The tax exemption order and the cancellation of the royal list were posted on the city wall outside the palace and the yamen of Chang'an Mansion, and in less than an hour, everyone in Chang'an City knew about it.

The two families really come and go like folk brothers, and the relationship is close.

In the past two years, He Dong and Murong Ying have been to Qingwangfu several times, clearly supporting He Qing and his wife. He Qing and his wife also entered the palace more than in previous years to see the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

He Qing's family did not receive any more contemptuous glances, and they were equally happy.

He Dong and Murong Ying kept smiling happily.

There was no discordant sound at the family banquet in the evening, and no unpleasant things happened.

Mu Siguo leaned over Murong Ying and whispered: "Stepmother, my father-in-law is very old, and he has traveled a long way around this dynasty, if you accompany him and take me with you, I want to visit the great benefactor Jing Niang." ”

"Longbei is definitely going to go. Jue Niang is going to Longbei with me? He Dong didn't know his daughter's thoughts, and he also thought that Li Yunxiao, his son-in-law, had made great military achievements and was very good, and hoped that he could pay more attention to his daughter.

He Yijue couldn't help but ask: "Father, if you want to go out of Chang'an to inspect various places, will you go to Longbei?" ”

Mu Siguo's eyes rolled, and he was also thinking of an idea to go to Jincheng to see Li Jingjing and Li Manman.

He Yijue's eyes swirled back and forth on He Yiyang and Mu Siguo. He Yiyang wants to supervise the country and can't go to Jincheng, Mu Siguo can go, but Murong Ying definitely won't allow it. She had to find a way to follow her to Jincheng to see Li Yunxiao.

This time, Kong Ye must take care of his eldest daughter-in-law Li Jingjing to give birth to confinement. Although there are groups of slaves and maids in King Yan's mansion, they are not worthy of having relatives by their side.

Last year, He Jingmiao and Ding Routang gave birth successively, although Kong Ye missed He Jingmiao very much, but he couldn't leave his second daughter-in-law to go to Jincheng to take care of his daughter.

Kong Ye's elk's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Big brother, we will stay in Jincheng until the end of the confinement of our daughters." ”

He Qing was overjoyed, for fear that Kong Ye would not hear it, and said loudly: "Cousin, the eldest brother promised our family to go to Jincheng." ”

I think that when he was in Chang'an, Li Bing was the head of the north, and they were separated for more than ten years, only relying on letter exchanges, he just believed in Li Bing, and let Li Bing command more than 100,000 troops. The monarchs and ministers joined hands to snatch back more than a dozen cities such as Qingcheng from the hands of the Xiongnu Dynasty.

He Dong has no doubts about employing people in this life, and he does not need to use suspicious people. He did the same to Li Bing, the relatives of the royal family, and the founding minister.

He Dong never doubted He Jingyan's loyalty, nor did he have the idea of taking He Qing's wife and He Jingxin hostage in Chang'an to prevent He Jingyan from rebelling.

He Dong knew the deep meaning of He Qing's words, and blurted out: "I can do it." Go ahead. ”

He Qing looked at He Dong and said, "Big brother, we and Xinlang's family want to go to Jincheng." Do you think it's okay? ”

He Dong has always cared for this eight-year-old younger brother, his eyes were kind, and he said with a pleasant face: "I have long heard my husband say this. This is a great event for our family. He laughed a few more times, and said a little proudly: "Jing Yan, this kid is seven years older than Yang Lang, Yang Lang has two sons and two daughters, Jing Yan is finally going to be a father this time." ”

He Qing peeled fried peanuts and said with a smile while eating: "Big brother, our daughters are happy." ”

He Yiyang resolutely did not draft and no longer expanded the backyard of the East Palace, and those noble ladies who admired him were envious and jealous of Deng Yun and Dong Min, especially for Dong Min, a big meat ball, who was able to be so favored by He Yiyang and gave birth to two daughters.

But he used to be very thin, but now he is fat, that is, his cheeks and limbs have increased flesh, his body is just right, he is not fat or thin, he is still so handsome, especially when he laughs, showing two rows of snow-white teeth, the corners of his eyes are raised, with a little evil spirit, and he is more mature and sophisticated than before, and more attractive.

The people who are with He Yiyang every day don't see that he has a wide body, and people who haven't seen him for a few months can find that he has gained at least a dozen pounds at a glance.

He Yiyang already has two sons and two daughters, and his relationship with Deng Yun is much better than in the previous two years.

The family banquet became He Dong's family and He Qing's family.

She was originally a showy person, but after so many things, she finally learned to keep a low profile.

The only concubine in He Dong's harem is Concubine Hu Xian. Although Concubine Hu Xian and He Jinglian have broken off relations with the Hu clan for several years, Ran Er has the blood of the Hu clan in her body, and she is afraid that she will appear in a public place, and He Dong will remember her relationship with the Hu clan, so she simply called herself sick and did not even attend the state banquet, let alone the clan banquet.

At this year's family banquet, He Rong, Princess Deng, Princess Niu, and He Jinghai were not in Chang'an, nor were the juniors He Wu, He Quan, He Jingfan, and He Hai.

He Qing and Kong Ye stayed to attend the royal family banquet in the evening according to the custom.

After the state banquet, the Li family went out of the palace and returned home.

He Dong and Murong Ying's second respect is He Qing and Kong Ye, thanks to them for giving birth to a good son like He Jingyan, once again for the Ding Dynasty to resist the foreign enemies of the Xiongnu, and for the first time in a thousand years, they attacked Lhasa, the capital of the Tubo State, to raise the imperial prestige of the Ding Dynasty.

On top of the state banquet, He Dong can let Li Bing drink three cups in a row, and the rest of the people are not qualified.

Qu has experienced so many things, and he is not stage frightened at the state banquet, and he holds a wine glass and drinks three glasses in a row like Murong Ying.

Li Binglang said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the Empress." ”

"Sir, the queen and I toast you and your wife three times!" He Dong and his wife raised their glasses to Li Bing and his wife, and were grateful for Li Bing's peerless contribution to the Ding Dynasty last year.

The specifications of this year's state banquet meals are slightly higher than in previous years, and the program has more Tubo, Goryeo, Huiyi tribes, Wa countries, and even Tianzhu and the Eastern Roman Empire's Meiji dance.

With Li Bing as a comparison, some officials who are not among the rising fortunes are finally balanced in their hearts.

Those officials who were out of balance secretly said in their hearts: Mr. Crouching Tiger is not angry before he rises, why am I still angry?

"His Majesty treats officials equally, and does not make an exception for Prince Li."

"Prince Li made great contributions to this dynasty last year, but unfortunately he resigned from his actual official positions at the end of last year, and he has no share in this year's promotion."

"It turns out that Prince Li didn't raise his fortune either!"

The four holy decrees were jointly negotiated by Li Bing and He Dong. Li Bing has long known that he will not raise his salary.

Under the gaze of all the officials, Li Bing deliberately said in a low voice: "This king has resigned from the position of generalissimo and grand master, and now he only has a title, and he is not among the officials who have risen to the ranks. ”

He listened to Li Bing's persuasion and retreated to the second line when he returned from the north a few years ago. The generalissimo of the Qin family army is now the eldest grandson, that is, Qin Pukang, the son of the Duke of Guo.

Qin Xionghuang asked in a rough voice: "Sir, I don't have a real position in the army, and my salary is not raised, what about you?" ”

But is not everyone like He Qing's family of four, some officials who have titles and honors but have withdrawn from the court, are a little unbalanced in their hearts, not caring about those silver coins, but thinking that they are not taken seriously.

Mrs. He Qing and He Jingxin are all official positions with only titles and orders, and no real positions, and their salaries have not risen. They have never contributed to the imperial court, there is no risk at all to staying at home, they enjoy glory and wealth every day, and they are very content without reducing their income.

Many of the officials were excited, and they were the beneficiaries of the third decree, and even their wives were happy to talk about it.

"At this time, His Majesty only got the real officials, and those officials with titles, honors, and scattered officials were not among them."

"The dragon saint is mighty, and His Majesty has promoted our Yulu."

"All the Aiqing and Mrs. will follow me and the queen to the banquet." He Dong's voice was loud, and he joined hands with the graceful and luxurious Empress Murong Ying, who was bowed down by the civil and military officials and the lady of the command, and walked to the hall where the state banquet was held.

Civil and military officials can imagine how shocking the four holy decrees will be in the entire Ding Dynasty and even the world.

As soon as the four holy decrees came out, all the civil and military officials present from the third rank and above fell into extreme shock, and they didn't even listen carefully to the holy decrees that doubled the funding for He Rong, He Jingyan, and He Jinghai's fiefdoms.

The emperor's heart is as deep as the sea. No official can see through what He Dong thinks.

Throughout the millennium, only the emperor who was physically poor or was forced to withdraw from the court, and there was no one who took the initiative to withdraw from the court's field of vision like He Dong.

Once a person becomes an emperor and sits on the dragon chair, he is unwilling to give up his position until he dies.

The officials looked up at He Dong, his hair was black, his eyes were bright, and there were few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, he didn't look like an old man who was about to be sixty years old, and he looked like he was in his forties at most.

Now he wants to hand over the Dingchao to He Yiyang, and then go to various places to inspect.

At He Yiyang's age, he had already met Li Bing and pulled up a detachment to rebel.

He is actually 57 years old this year, and He Yiyang is 20 years old.

He Dong said loudly: "From today onwards, I will retire and retire from the crown prince. ”

He Dong's big stroke is also a precedent for the emperors of all dynasties, and officials and soldiers will definitely be more loyal to him.

The officials and generals of the Ding Dynasty continued the quota of the opening of the Dynasty, and this amount of silver was a very large amount, even if it rose by one percent, it would be several million taels of silver.

Since the first month of this year, the Dingchao Dynasty has raised the income of officials in Chang'an and the major cities by 10%, and the officials and soldiers of the border defense and county towns by 30%.

Abolish the lowly status, let the talented people participate in the scientific examination, stand out, become the officials of the dynasty, benefit the people, make the empire stronger and prosperous, and can also win the hearts of the people, killing two birds with one stone.

Those centuries-old families, the Yun clan and the Bai clan have no branches, the Deng clan is in the recovery period, and the Niu clan, the Hong clan, and the Di clan are far away from Chang'an, and the whip is beyond their reach.

Now that the four major families in Chang'an have fallen and moved, the small and medium-sized families in Chang'an have no support from the four major families, and they can't set off the storm.

When He Dong first established the Ding Dynasty, he discussed with Li Bing and had the idea of abolishing the untouchable status, but at that time, he proposed that the end would be to be overthrown by the major families, and he has been waiting until now.

In the past, there were emperors who wanted to cancel their lowly status, but Ran Er was resolutely opposed by the nobles and was almost forced to abdicate. Because of the limited number of places for the scientific examination, these nobles did not want the lowly people to participate in the scientific examination and participate in the competition.

He Dong issued a holy decree to cancel the untouchable nationality and benefit tens of millions of people of the Ding Dynasty.

The people who have been in the lowly nationality in the past dynasties are not qualified to participate in the scientific examination, and the punishment for crimes is heavier than that of the people with good nationality, and they are looked down upon for generations, and they survive.

Cheap status is passed down from generation to generation, and you can only get rid of it unless you no longer operate your cheap business.

The third class of untouchables is the "untouchables" who do not belong to the scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, and are the lower stratum of the social hierarchy, only one level higher than the slaves.

The royal throne is high above the spire. The slave is at the bottom of the tower, lowly and lowly.

The fifth-class household registration is like a pyramid, and the class is clearly distinguished.

The first class is the royal family, that is, those who have royal blood; The second class is noble nationality, which is based on a large family and a family with meritorious official status; The third class is good people, that is, ordinary people; The fourth class is untouchable; The fifth class is slavery, that is, slave status.

For thousands of years, the imperial court divided household registration into five types.

Since this year, the Ding Dynasty has abolished the untouchable status, and all the untouchable people have accepted it as a good register.

This alone can make him immortal and become the most loving emperor of all countries in the world.

He Dong was exempted from so many taxes at once, hiding the wealth from the people, making the people rich, and having good food and clothing.

The largest tax revenue of the national treasury of the imperial courts of all dynasties came from agricultural taxes and commercial taxes, especially commercial taxes, which have always been the main source of taxes.

Since this year, the Ding Dynasty has exempted all agricultural taxes in various places for three consecutive years, and exempted forty percent of the commercial taxes, demonstrating the benevolence of the royal family to the people.
