When Linglong woke up, Li Zhuoran beside her had already disappeared. Looking at the rays of sunlight that came in obliquely from the window, Linglong's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Cuizhi walked in, and when she saw Linglong smiling, she smiled too, "Madam, you're awake." ”

"When did Master Hou get up?" When Li Zhuoran left, Linglong didn't know at all.

"Master Hou got up before dawn, let's all be soft and don't wake up Madame, saying that Madam will definitely wake up if she is hungry." Cuizhi said with a smile.

Linglong was said by her, and she really felt hungry.

Cuizhi also knew that she would be hungry when she slept, so after waiting for her to freshen up, she asked the maid to bring in the food.

"Did Master Hou eat when he left?" Linglong asked, and saw that Cuizhi replied that she had already eaten, so she was relieved to use breakfast.

Li Zhuoran is the first day of coming back to the court today, and the ministers below are not surprised by his arrival.

Although the Western Expeditionary Army has not yet returned, Li Zhuoran, as the main general, has come back ahead of schedule, and there were originally several imperial histories who wanted to take the opportunity to use this matter to impeach Li Zhuoran.

Who knew that as soon as the excerpt went up, he was severely criticized by the emperor, and there was nothing to do, and without my will, Li Zhuoran didn't dare to come back even if he had ten guts.

He can come back, that's what I agreeed.

Can you guys say something useful?

There is a lot of rain and flooding in Jiangnan this year, and the harvest is not very good, and the emperor has been angry recently, and these two imperial histories are too blind, and they hit the emperor's knife, and they were scolded by the emperor for being bloody.

The harvest is not good, and the taxes and silver paid by the treasury have shrunk a lot, and the emperor wants to move Jiangnan, so there is an inexplicable anger in his heart.

In today's court, there are ministers who have mentioned that they want to increase taxes, so that the treasury will be abundant. The emperor was depressed by the minister's impassioned rhetoric.

Increasing taxes? That's easier said than done.

This year, the people are already miserable, and after several wars in the northwest, the treasury of the Southern Yan State is really tight. But no matter how nervous he is, the emperor also knows that he can't increase taxes anymore, but he will reduce taxes this year.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the will to increase taxes will be strange, and the people will not rise up.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. Emperor Shenwu still knows this truth.

So he glared at the minister and put him on hold.

At this time, such a method was proposed, isn't this looking forward to the chaos of Nanyan Kingdom?

After making noise for a while, there was no reason for it, and Li Zhuoran was about to fall asleep by these Wenchen's bites and chewing words.

"Li Aiqing, what can you do?"

Li Zhuoran, who was in the fugue, was reminded by a minister next to him, and only then did he react, it turned out that the emperor was asking him.

"If you go back to the emperor, there is no good way for the minister." It can raise money for the treasury without increasing the burden of the people, so that it is the best of both worlds. Li Zhuoran didn't come up with it.

An early dynasty ended like this, and when Li Zhuoran returned to the Dingxi Hou Mansion, he ran to the inner courtyard without stopping. Before entering the courtyard, I heard the laughter of Sister Mei and Zhao Sicong, and this cheerful laughter made Li Zhuoran feel very good.

When she entered the house, she saw Sister Mei and Zhao Sicong laughing around the round crib, and when she saw Li Zhuoran coming, Linglong smiled first, and then said. "I'm back."

Li Zhuoran walked over with a smile, "What do you say?" So happy. ”

"Daddy," Mei shouted with a smile, "Sister will laugh." ”

It turned out that Sister Mei and Zhao Sicong were having fun just now. Finding that Yuanyuan could laugh, Linglong and Mama Gui were very surprised, it was only less than half a month, and Yuanyuan actually smiled?

Who knew that the two of them surrounded each other, but Yuanyuan didn't laugh at any time, and waited until Linglong and they retreated. Sister Mei teased her, and she laughed again.

It's simply amazing.

"Really?" Li Zhuoran smiled and took Sister Mei'er's hand and walked over, and saw Yuanyuan staring at him with wide eyes, "I'm your father, do you know me?" ”

“……”

A room full of people is going to be petrified, Hou Ye is so ignorant, a child who has only been ten days old, can he know people?

Isn't it just for the sake of his wife and children that he can hear laughter when he returns home? Li Zhuoran felt that at this moment, all his fatigue was suddenly swept away.

"Tell the maids to set the meal." Linglong smiled, and she found that Li Zhuoran now had more smiles on her face, which was a good phenomenon.

After a while, Tsui Zhi came in and said that the meal was ready.

Although Linglong had a separate confinement meal, under Li Zhuoran's strong advice, she still sat at the big table and ate with them, but she ate her own confinement meal, while Li Zhuoran and the others had a normal meal.

"It's annoying." Linglong looked at the so many delicacies on the table, but she could only eat some clear soup and little water, and she really felt that Li Zhuoran was premeditated.

After eating, Li Zhuoran accompanied Linglong to walk around the house a few times to eliminate food, "The noise in the court today is too fierce, I didn't know that those civil officials scolded people so funny." ”

Thinking of the appearance of the minister in the court pouting his goatee, Li Zhuoran felt funny.

"Oh? What did you quarrel about? Linglong asked curiously.

Li Zhuoran is not the kind of stubborn and conservative person, in the past, he often told Linglong about the things in the court, and now when he saw her asking, he knew that she was also interested, so he told the court about increasing taxes.

"It's really not easy." Linglong took Li Zhuoran's hand and walked around the room again, "But it's not impossible." ”

"Oh? What is the best plan for Madame? Li Zhuoran's eyes were shining, but he didn't expect that he just said casually, and Linglong could actually think of a way.

However, whether the method can be used or not is two theories, but it is better than not having any of them come up with.

"Didn't you say that the emperor's best thing is to design things and calligraphy?" Linglong smiled and said, "You can make a fuss about this." ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Li Zhuoran originally thought that he would just listen casually, but when he saw that what Linglong said really seemed like that, he straightened his attitude and became careful.

"Since the emperor's words are so difficult to find, just stab them." Linglong smiled faintly and hooked her hand at Li Zhuoran, and said in his ear, "How is it?" ”

"Madame, what a plan." Li Zhuoran hugged Linglong excitedly and kissed her heavily on the forehead, "It's really admirable for my husband." ”

"As for the furniture you mentioned, after the emperor designed it, we Muyuanzhai will provide the wood and our master of Muyuanzhai will make it himself."

The wood of Muyuanzhai is all good, not to mention the craftsmanship of the master.

It's hard to find in a hundred years.

With such a big gimmick, Linglong will definitely succeed. (To be continued.) )
