The snow lion didn't know the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of its master, but it still happily accompanied the royal chariot to the Xuanmuro Palace. Because of www.biquge.info short legs and fast running, muddy water splashed on all four legs and belly.

When they arrived at the Xuanshu Palace, Gillian and Liu Che couldn't help but laugh when they saw its half-white and half-gray appearance. Liu Che even said that he had changed his name to Banmo Lion, and the snow lion still didn't know what he had become, and he had to follow him as before. Xiao Dongzi hurriedly hugged its neck, "The slave maid will go and wring the handkerchief with hot water to wipe the snow lion clean." ”

Gillian nodded, and told him again: "Wring it out and then wipe it." Seeing that Xiao Dongzi's chest was all dirty, he instructed Chuntuo to ask someone to find clothes for Xiao Dongzi to change.

Liu Che saw that as soon as he said that Gillian was indeed in a much better mood, he was also relieved. stepped forward and put her hand in his sleeve to warm her, and then led her inside.

Her hand was held in the palm of his hand, and she felt a little warmer all over her body.

Not long after arriving at the Xuanshu Palace, Prime Minister Dou Ying came from the side hall.

Dou Ying was used to coming to see the emperor, and the queen called him uncle. When he arrived in front of the emperor, he only bowed slightly, and sat down comfortably.

Rao is like this, Liu Che still thinks he is outside, and often says that monarchs and ministers must be intimate.

When was the time when the courtiers of the Ming and Qing dynasties came to the emperor to kneel and answer? It is the norm for the emperor to get up and greet each other.

After Dou Ying sat down, he didn't look left and right, but directly opened his mouth and naturally talked to Liu Che about political affairs.

Although there was a dictatorship of Empress Lu in the Han Dynasty, Empress Dowager Bo and Empress Dowager Dou both participated in politics and discussion. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, even in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it has not yet been recognized, otherwise where will the virtuous name of Queen Dugu and Queen Changsun come from?

Not to mention Dou Ying, who is used to talking to the Empress Dowager Dou about the government, I don't think there is anything wrong with the queen listening. On the contrary, because of the Queen's deep influence and trust in Her Majesty. He very much hopes that the queen can grow up, and when His Majesty goes higher and higher in the future, no one can shake it, and if he deviates, he can still have the queen's advice.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Gillian as he spoke, hoping that she would listen to what they said.

Gillian is emptying her mind and grinding ink, how can she feel the full expectation of Prime Minister Dou Ying?

She listened to the sound of the wind whistling outside the window and the sound of snow lions running across the road, and couldn't help but feel melancholy that the end of the year was close to another year.

So much has happened for her this year. She remembered the past and returned to the palace. The harem is also earth-shaking, in the previous life, Liu Che only had three princesses at this time, and Wei Zifu had to give birth to Liu Che's first prince Liu Ju next spring. And in this life, there are already two princes now.

Speaking of children, this will always be a sore spot in Gillian's heart, it hurts if she touches it slightly, not to mention that she has just experienced disappointment this morning.

She didn't want to immerse herself in a low mood anymore, so she shook her head and focused on grinding the ink.

The early winter morning was bright and warm, and the chrysanthemums in the corner were still blooming in the shadows. The white sunlight that shone through the dust, through the heavy palace curtain, tried its best to render the past to the gloomy place in the hall.

"What does the queen think?" Liu Che suddenly touched Gillian lightly with his elbow.

His voice was unusually casual, as if he were asking a question.

Dou Ying's gaze also followed Gillian.

Gillian came back to her senses in horror, she had been fugue just now, how could she know what they were talking about?

She shook her head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, I didn't listen." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Che and Dou Ying didn't think of it. But looking at Gillian's calm expression, it doesn't look like prevarication.

The monarch and the ministers glanced at each other, but Dou Ying opened his mouth to explain.

"Since the rebellion of Zhulu, the world has been decided. Our Han family conforms to the will of the people and governs by inaction. Lightly pay for the meager endowment and rest with the people. In the second and twelfth years of Emperor Wen, half of the land tax was removed twice. In the thirteenth year of Emperor Wen, the land rent was also exempted. In the second year of Emperor Jing, half of the people were rented from the land, and thirty were taxed. Emperor Wenjing issued many edicts to persuade farmers to teach mulberry and encourage land reclamation. The second emperor took the lead in practicing economy and curbing the extravagance of the powerful. In this way, when His Majesty succeeded to the throne, the treasury was more abundant. ”

"But in the final analysis, the war is all about money, and the supply of grain and grass, the hanging of war horses, and the armor and weapons of soldiers are all burned with money. Throughout the ages, how many wars have been defeated because the national strength has not been able to keep up? It was in this war that both the minister and his majesty felt that the treasury was not sufficient to support the war that had lasted for many years. There is no doubt that it is by no means possible to distinguish between the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu in one or two years. ”

The Gillian he said can understand that in his previous life, Liu Che thought of many ways to increase his financial resources.

Dou Ying saw Gillian nodding silently, and couldn't help but think that this smart strength was really like her aunt.

"Your Majesty and the ministers mean to have ideas to promote fiscal revenue, and some of the princes of some large countries today are arbitrarily monopolizing and cheating taxes. It's just that the government can't do anything about them for a while, this is a big project that can't be rushed. Then you can only set your sights on the rich people of Tian Lianqianmo, these wealthy are opportunistic and specialize in hoarding. The minister thought that he should deal with these huge riches, and was discussing the disposal with His Majesty. ”

At this point, in fact, there is no need for Dou Ying to continue, Gillian already understands what they are worried about.

It has always been the norm for officials and businessmen to collude with each other to shield each other, and the monarch and the ministers are worried about the chain reaction if they are not handled carelessly.

It turns out that "Qianmaoling Order" and "Tui'en Order" have been thinking about the Han family for so long ago, but now they are only in the beginning. Gillian remembered that in her previous life, she watched Liu Che seem to do great things easily and unhindered, and she really naively thought that it was because of his emperor's honor.

The emperor also depends on who is in charge, not who can do an immortal feat in his disposition!

The princes, kings and the huge rich are not in a hurry, but if the Han family still played a prestige against the Xiongnu like in the previous life, it is enough to deter these ghosts and ghosts and give them a surprise again.

According to Gillian, it is better to try the water temperature first as Liu Che wanted in his previous life to see the reaction of these businessmen.

This year, the Han family has won a battle, and it should still be enough to shock them.

Thinking of this, Gillian's eyes were shining and her eyebrows were lightly spread. "Wealthy merchants, water and land must use vehicles and boats, and the number is not small. I thought that His Majesty and the Prime Minister might as well levy taxes on these merchants, vehicles and ships, and if it goes well, it will be a lot of income. ”

The self-title of the queen and the prince of the Han Dynasty is extremely noble. But Gillian has always called herself me or me, and this is the first time she has called herself lonely. talked about political affairs, and the popularity of the gestures was vividly displayed.

She greeted the light and shadow, and her white jade-like transparent and flawless face exuded more and more brilliance.

As soon as Gillian's words fell, Dou Ying applauded: "The minister thinks this method is very good." ”

Liu Che didn't speak, but his eyes burst out with a stunning and bright light.

He was glad that Gillian could say her thoughts without hesitation, instead of being clumsy, and even more happy to coincide with the vague thoughts in his heart.

In this light, there is pride and gratification. That is the tolerance and appreciation that can only be had by the depth of love, Gillian knows very well that her heart is warmed by this gaze. Unconsciously stretched out his hand under the case and wrapped his ten fingers around, and the two looked at each other happily.

After that, Gillian stopped talking and went to the window to read freely.

The tone was set, and it was up to them to formulate specific measures. (To be continued.) )
