Chapter 291: Observing Words and Expressions among Monarchs and Ministers

Xue Qing immediately asked Qiu Xiang to take someone to send the rest of the meal to another room, and retreated left and right before quietly going in and asking Qiu Xiang to open all the lids of the lacquer box. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info I only saw more than ten dishes, and only two or three moved a little. The rice was not touched, and the porridge was a little less. The meat dish has not been touched much. There are some vegetables missing, it doesn't look like Emperor Wu's style.

Not wanting to eat? Or do you have injuries on your body that you can't eat?

Xue Qing frowned tightly and asked Qiu Xiang to call someone to clean up. Send them all down.

Qiu Xiang said: "Your Highness, you can also have some food." I'm afraid I haven't ...... since last night."

Xue Qing waved her hand and said, "Let's get some." Keep it simple. ”

In the dining room, the food was not easy to eat, Qiu Xiang immediately brought a plate, a few dishes on it, Xue Qing ate a little casually, and before she ate a few bites, she heard a rumor outside: "Where is Your Highness, the emperor summoned you." ”

Xue Qing put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran out, wiped her mouth and said, "It's coming, it's coming." ”

Xue Qing deliberately slowed down her pace and walked towards the Xuanmur Hall unhurriedly. Chuntuo was waiting in front of the door, and when he saw Xue Qing, he said: "Your Highness has come down, the emperor has just gotten up, and after dinner, he saw the music you sent, so he wants to summon His Highness." ”

Pretend, you pretend you. Xue Qing didn't bother to pay attention to him, took off her boots, untied her big hat and handed it to the little eunuch. And he went into the conservatory.

Xue Qing's head was slightly lowered, but her eyes glanced up, and she saw Emperor Wu sitting on the soft couch, flipping through a book of notes, which looked like a contracted policy.

Xue Qing knelt on the ground and bowed: "Concubine Wuling, meet His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Emperor Wu said: "Get up." Sit, is this contracting policy what you mean, or what the prime minister means? ”

Xue Qing said: "It's the meaning of the concubine." After the concubine drew up the rules, she went to the prime minister's mansion to discuss with the prime minister. Because this matter is very wide-ranging, and those fields are all over the country, if this policy is to be implemented smoothly, it requires the full cooperation of local officials, and it is not possible without the cooperation of the Prime Minister's Office. Cheng was also very supportive of this, and together with Yousi Yamen, he sorted out this note and reported it to the emperor. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "Well, your idea is very Xinying. I have something to ask you, do you say that this land is sold to the powerful nobles when the price is good, or simply give it to the common people. Distributed to the people, there can still be tax revenue every year. Sold to the powerful nobles, although there is no tax, there is always an income from the sale of land, as well as an annual gold, which can be regarded as an income. ”

It's not that you make money. Sold to the princes, and then issued deer coins. Wouldn't that be tantamount to continuing to exploit the aristocracy?

Distribute to the commoners, or the same sentence, who is the commoner, who will divide it, how to divide it, don't say that it is distributed to the commoners, all to the nobles and the powerful. That would be a tragedy. And if it is really all given to the common people, the country is rich and the people are strong, in the long run, it will naturally be conducive to rest. But in the short term, the returns are very low. The emperor was originally an impatient man, and he didn't have much patience, not to mention that he felt that the current matter of getting money was more important than anything else.

Xue Qing pretended to be thinking about it and weighing the pros and cons of the two strategies. But he took the opportunity to sneak a peek at Emperor Wu.

After Emperor Wu sat on a few cases, it was strange to say that this emperor was unruly, and he looked like Lao Tzu's most personality wherever he went. Even when he was in the court, he was also crooked and half-lying on the throne, comparable to Ge Youzhi's lying.

This is so good, why is it so decent? Isn't there a ghost in my heart that is so abnormal?

Taking advantage of the emperor's immersion in watching the music, he took a closer look, the brocade robe was thick, and the situation inside could be seen from the outside. If you look at the face, this thing doesn't know too much, I would have known that I would have asked the old man doctor for two tricks, and if I looked closely, there were a few very fine beads of sweat on my forehead. The clouds between the eyebrows are tightly locked. I really saw a trace of gloom lingering on the emperor's face.

It's really fake, isn't it an illusion? Xue Qing changed her angle to observe again, but when she saw the emperor looking up, she hurriedly staggered her eyes and said: "If it is said to be long-term interests, it is naturally important for the country to be rich and the people strong." However, the current Northern Expedition also requires a large amount of money and grain, and it is necessary to take both into account, and it can be implemented according to the contract policy for a few years. In this way, only a small amount of grain had to be paid to the peasants, while the imperial court collected most of the harvest. When the Northern Expedition was successful, the fields were distributed, and most of what the imperial court took became a small part. In this way, both long-term and immediate interests can be balanced. ”

The emperor nodded: "Well, Ah Xue is becoming more and more sophisticated, so old and serious, and it can be trusted to come easily, it is really an official material." It's just that there is one thing in this contracting strategy, which is the most unstable, and if something goes wrong, it will definitely come out of this, do you know which point? ”

Xue Qing nodded and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's supervision." ”

Emperor Wu wiped the sweat on his forehead without a trace and said, "Well, that's good." In order to implement this contracting policy thoroughly, it is necessary to monitor effectively, measure and divide, and count the harvest, and be meticulous. If the monitoring is not effective, it will be a pity for these lands. I'm afraid that I won't be able to hand over a few stones of grain by then, and the rest will have to be swallowed by the people below. ”

At this time, Han Yan came from outside, holding a few notes in her hand, put them on a few cases for Emperor Wu, and then stood aside and didn't speak.

His steps were steady, not like he was injured, and his face was ruddy, but there was a hint of shame and worry on his face. Under the observation of words and looks, Xue Qing already has a plan.

The emperor's breathing rate seemed to be a little chaotic, and his voice was a little lower: "If you want to say that it is supervision, in fact, after what happened last time, I am a little dissatisfied. The Imperial Doctor is in Chang'an, and it has no effect on local affairs. This matter must be changed. I have sent someone to do the supervision of your contracted policy, and this is also an opportunity for you to give strong support from it, do you understand? ”

Could it be that Emperor Wu wanted to implement the policy of assassinating history, and he actually wanted to use the supervision of the contracted policy as a test field to test the test? Then it will definitely have to be his henchmen. It doesn't matter, anyway, Xue Qing doesn't plan to fish for oil and water here, and instead specializes in the craftsmen of the Shaofu general. It doesn't matter if you let it out, just let him get it.

Emperor Wu and Xue Qing discussed the details of the contracting strategy. Xue Qing was a little absent-minded, but she could only talk patiently. And Emperor Wu also looked a little absent-minded, and he was also talking patiently.

Xue Qing was absent-minded, thinking about the emperor's assassination, and the emperor was afraid that he was injured and his physical strength was weak, thinking about who was going to do him, but he was unwilling to let go of such an important policy discussion. Seeing that spring plowing is about to begin, this matter cannot be delayed.

Xue Qing had a plan in her heart, but she had to accompany Emperor Wu to continue to discuss the detailed rules here.

Almost an hour passed. Emperor Wu finally slapped the board, and Zhu criticized the royal pen on the song. Agree to comply. And said: "Since the Prime Minister's Mansion has been discussed with the Yamen, it will not be handed over to the court." Go down and prepare to do it, each of you. By the way, is the issuance of the White Deer Coin still smooth? (To be continued.) )
