Chapter Eighty-Four: Negotiation

A beauty is a beauty, and she looks good in anything.

Gao Shenghan leaned crookedly on the Luohan couch to see him approaching, his eyes were clear, only pure appreciation, without a trace of impurities, desires and hopes. In the past, he mostly wore cold-colored clothes, and he had a kind of arrogance and purity, and he changed into a red outfit to add three points of demonism.

These men are really good at pretending! Chu Yunsheng is like this, Zixiu is like this, and even Shen Yifei is like this.

Shen Yifei was not surprised. I have been with the emperor more times, and the more I feel that the previous two years are like a dream, the emperor's arrogance, tyranny, vulgarity, and shamelessness are all false, only now, is real.

Like a beautiful butterfly fluttering its wings, he fluttered and pounced on the king with gentleness and dexterity.

Gong Deng beckoned the others to go out without squinting, including the Dark Dragon Guard, leaving space for these two, and by the way, he told the imperial dining room to prepare for supper.

"I don't remember that you were asked to sleep tonight." Gao Shenghan hooked his chin and kissed him kindly, and his fingers gently stroked his hair, feeling the silky silkiness and coolness. She picked up a small bunch and put it on the other person's face, and gently scratched the end of her hair on the delicate and fair cheek.

Shen Yifei chuckled and avoided it in fear.

"The minister is not a briquette." The briquettes were the black cats he sent. The emperor vulgarly gave such a name, as opposed to Snowball.

"Hmm. Briquettes are not obedient to you. Gao Shenghan lazily hugged each other with one hand and hugged the person on the bed. The two are intimately next to each other, like lovers for many years.

"Anyway, I don't believe you're here just to talk about briquettes."

"The emperor is wise." Shen Yifei was restrained and lustful, hesitating, as if choosing the wording. Gao Shenghan looked at him quietly, his five fingers slightly open, and gently combed the other party's hair.

"Your Majesty, when are you going to mine?"

Although gold and silver are vulgar things, no one loves them. He dared to guarantee that once there was a little rumor, the officials who wanted to do this errand for the emperor would definitely rush to it, and all parties wanted to intervene.

Gao Shenghan was a little surprised, he asked this.

Shen Yifei knew how to observe words and looks, and when he saw the king's reaction, he secretly said in his heart that it was bad, would he have overstepped it? Thinking about it again, the mine is still recorded in his name, as the owner of the mine, he should be fine if he asks more, right? And, he's really worried. After all, a lot of people died for that mine......

So he was a little uneasy, opened his beautiful Danfeng eyes, and looked at each other cautiously.

Gao Shenghan patted him on the shoulder soothingly, telling him not to be careful. "I remember, it's been a few years since you entered the palace."

Shen Yifei hummed softly and meekly lay on the big pillow beside her.

"The first emperor must have known about this, why didn't he do it?" Da Zhou has always been short of money, and when you look at the annual taxes and money transferred from the Ministry of Households, you can see that the treasury cannot save money at all. This is not a major famine and war, in case of accident, then it is ironclad to eat grain, and the rich merchants and money banks temporarily advance the silver on top, and promise a few benefits, within three or five years, tax reduction and exemption of silver or open certain checkpoints, such as water transportation and salt tax to take out a part of the interests to pay the debt, or to give their family's capable son and nephew a false position to become a petty official or something, so that most of them can also withstand it.

However, over time, drawbacks appeared. Officials and businessmen colluded to oppress the people, exploitation became more and more serious, and land annexation was even more alarming.

Although Gao Shenghan did not go down to inspect or receive Lin Xiaoxu's letter, however, the household department has kept records of the ownership of cultivated fields and mountains and forests in various places, and he remembers it clearly in black and white.

Those who have no way to rent and farm the landlord's land have to rent the landlord's land, and the tax is definitely higher than that of the official land. In the long run, the people's hearts will be uneasy, and I am afraid that things will change!

Shen Yifei obviously didn't think about it so much, he only listened to the emperor's question: Why didn't the emperor immediately mine the ore vein map when he got it?

How to mine! You don't know how messy it was!

Shen Yifei wanted to roll his eyes.

"At that time, the hearts of the people in the court were fluctuating, and the first emperor's body was not very good...... "The more he spoke, the quieter he became, and he simply shut up when he reached zuihou.

The two eldest princes were not saved, and the first emperor was very sad and depressed. The ministers have been fighting over the prince's affairs, and the two princes who were older than the present were still alive, very smart and motivated, and the emperor had been wavering. As a result, for some reason, the two princes went out and came back from a trip and were seriously injured one and the other was the culprit, the seriously injured three princes stayed up for two days and did not come back, the four princes were locked up and confined to the fourth prince's biological mother, Concubine Xian Niangniang, who was also demoted to the first emperor, and the family of the virtuous concubine was not liked by the first emperor, and almost all the children who served in the court were found in the wrong place to be demoted or demoted.

Seeing that the court was quiet, the emperor was about to talk to him about the ore veins in detail, and he didn't want to be infected with the wind and cold due to the changeable weather, and he didn't get all the medicine he took intermittently. He has been supporting his sick body to deal with government affairs, and he is a little powerless to arrange people to supervise mining, and he has been undecided. As a result, a heavy rain and hail at the end of summer destroyed many houses and fields in the suburbs of Beijing, and the emperor was even more anxious. At that time, the tragedy of the Yellow River bursting its embankment and flooding ten miles and eight towns broke out, and the emperor could no longer support it, and fell to the ground with a stroke at the court meeting, and died in a few days.

The first queen was very sad, and she supported the funeral and supported the prince to take care of state affairs. The four princes who were imprisoned took advantage of the chaos to contact several generals of the old department, plotted to rebel and wanted to seize power, and accidentally leaked the news to let the first queen know, she immediately executed the four princes with a quick knife, that is, the courtiers had a lot of complaints, but the new emperor was about to ascend the throne, and no one wanted to offend the mother and son.

Unexpectedly, after finally dealing with the emperor's funeral, the first queen fell ill again and died the day before she ascended the throne.

This dark and gloomy period is a thorn in the heart of Jinshang, I still remember that Jinshang is because the first queen died the day before he served in front of his sickbed, I don't know what the first queen said, he was furious, and he disregarded etiquette and filial piety, and threw a room of things!

Everyone in the world said that the first queen was angry with the emperor, but in fact......

In Shen Yifei's eyes, the first queen should have said something to hurt Jinshang badly. When the first queen was buried, she was holding the coffin and crying, almost fainting, and there was no fraud at all.

Later, the emperor became perverted.

"It's not a good time to mine." Gao Shenghan suddenly spoke.

"Why?" Isn't it short of money? Shen is not puzzled.
