Turandot's guard of honor returned to Changsha.

The return of this concubine also surprised the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

Indeed, no one thought that Turandot would return to the Great Song Dynasty.

Only this news did not reach the ears of Zhao Dongting and others who were still in Weifu and were on their way back to Changsha.

After Turandot returned to the palace, it was the palace eunuch Qiangong who welcomed her into the palace.

Then Turandot learned that Zhao Dongting led the army and the concubines to Haojing Island.

For some reason, Turandot sighed softly when he heard this.

After returning to Siyuan Palace, he was alone.

The eunuchs and maids in her palace did not dare to disturb either.

About half a month later, Yang Shufei, Xie Daoqing, and retired ministers of the DPRK and China who were in Guangzhou and Zhao Dongting were the first to return to Changsha.

At this time, it is already close to Chongyang.

After Yang Shufei and Xie Daoqing returned to the palace, the first thing they did was to inquire about Zhao Dongting's whereabouts.

That's all, the ministers and eunuchs in the palace don't know.

In the end, it was Yang Shufei who came to Xuanxue, and finally learned that Zhao Dongting and others had arrived in Hengzhou at this time, and it was not far from Changsha.

It made them breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he knew that Zhao Dongting was surrounded by all the masters of Wuding Hall, it was impossible for any accident to occur. But I was still a little worried before.

Zhao Dongting has long been the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, and it can be said that the Great Song Dynasty can lack anyone, but only he cannot be missing.

And just when Yang Shufei and the others had just returned to the dormitory, a eunuch came to Yang Shufei's dormitory and said, "Queen Mother, Concubine Li has come to say goodbye." ”

This made Concubine Yang Shufei very surprised.

Turandot's identity was embarrassing, except for the day when she was named a concubine, he never came to her again.

She wasn't angry either, because she didn't want to see Turandot either.

After all, so many imperial relatives of the Great Song Dynasty died at the hands of the Yuan Dynasty. Even his husband was taken captive by the Yuan army.

Although Turandot was already a concubine of the Song Kingdom, her identity as a princess of the Yuan Dynasty finally made Concubine Yang Shufei and others a little worried.

Speaking of which, they didn't have trouble going to Turandot, and they were already kind-hearted.

This is also thanks to the fact that none of them are that kind of mean temperament, and even Xie Daoqing has changed greatly. Otherwise, Turandot's life in this palace would have been very sad.

For a long time, Yang Shufei didn't speak.

"The Queen Mother's ......"

It wasn't until the eunuch shouted softly again that Concubine Yang Shu came back to her senses and said, "Since you're here, let her in......"

After all, he sighed softly.

After eating fasting and chanting Buddha for a long time, she didn't want to embarrass Turandot too much.

"Turandot asks the Queen Mother to ......"

Soon, Turandot was led by the eunuch to Yang Shufei and saluted her.

Yang Shufei nodded lightly, "Excuse me!" ”

Then the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Concubine Yang only asked the eunuch to give Turandot a seat, and then did not say anything more.

Turandot didn't know what he was thinking, and he wanted to speak several times.

After a long time, she finally mustered up the courage to say, "Queen Mother, Turandot...... Please forgive me if you have any questions. ”

"What?"

Yang Shufei frowned slightly.

She couldn't think of anything Turandot needed to ask her permission for.

Then Turandot continued: "Concubine...... The concubine wanted to move to the emperor's palace to live. ”

These words made Yang Shufei's eyes widen.

She couldn't even believe that Turandot said this, and couldn't help asking, "What did you just say?" ”

Turandot's face was slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "The concubine wants to move to the emperor's palace to live." All the sisters are there, and the concubines live alone in Siyuan Palace, which is really a bit ...... Somewhat lonely. ”

Yang Shufei looked at Turandot deeply, her face full of strangeness.

She was from the past, so she couldn't understand the meaning of Turandot's words.

Turandot clearly wanted to get close to the emperor.

Only this princess of the Yuan Dynasty deliberately kept a distance from the emperor before, how could she suddenly have this idea after returning from the Yuan Dynasty?

Yang Shufei couldn't help but think in a bad direction, and her face gradually became ugly.

"Humph!"

Then she snorted heavily: "Siyuan Palace was given by the emperor, how can you say that you can move it!" In this matter, according to the palace, it is better to ask the emperor about his intentions first! ”

Turandot's face was quite bitter, but he had to respond: "The concubine obeys the order......

Her heart was filled with bitterness.

If she could be willing to go to see Zhao Dongting, then she would not come to the Queen Mother's bedroom to see Concubine Yang Shu.

I just don't know why the Queen Mother was suddenly angry.

Turandot knew that it would be embarrassing to stay here, so he quickly resigned.

And this incident did not make any waves in the palace.

Zhao Dongting didn't come back, and Turandot still lived in the Siyuan Palace, and only occasionally went to Zhao Dongting's dormitory to see the children. When she came back, she really didn't make any noise.

That embarrassing identity really made her, Concubine Li, no different from a transparent person in the palace.

The taxation situation in various places is summarized in Changsha City.

Lu Xiufu and others, who were in charge of the government, were full of joy after seeing them.

Nowadays, the tax revenue of the Great Song Dynasty is better than one year.

In the past, it could only be said that he was barely rich in taxes, except for maintaining the expenses of the imperial court. And this year, the treasury should finally be able to hoard some gold and silver.

I just thought about it again, I don't know if the emperor will implement any new policies after he returns. If this is the case, then I am afraid that these taxes will soon be splashed out by the emperor like water.

When the emperor goes out on patrol, he will have a better understanding of people's livelihood, and it is not uncommon for him to have any new ideas.

As a result, Lu Xiufu and others temporarily suppressed the pieces that were requested for funding in various places.

Today's Great Song Dynasty, in addition to the most fertile coastal places, such as Chengdu, Tongchuan, Dali, Jingxi and other roads, still need to be allocated by the imperial court.

Taxes are plentiful, and expenses are huge.

After more than ten days, Zhao Dongting finally returned to Changsha with all the women and the masters of Wudingtang.

As soon as he entered Changsha City, he went straight to the palace.

Lu Xiufu and the others heard the news of Zhao Dongting's return, and soon entered the palace to ask to see Zhao Dongting.

The ladies were busy going back to the dormitory to take care of the children who had not been seen for a while.

Zhao Dongting met with Lu Xiufu and others in the imperial study and learned about the tax situation of the Great Song Dynasty this year.

Immediately, I only heard Lu Xiufu talk about the fact that they suppressed the appropriations in various places.

Finally, Lu Xiufu asked: "I don't know what the emperor has gained from this micro-service tour?" ”

Where could Zhao Dongting not know their thoughts.

He smiled and said, "You Aiqing can suppress the request for appropriation from all over the country, I'm afraid that I will have any measures that need to use these taxes, right?" ”

Lu Xiufu and the others all chuckled and were noncommittal.

Zhao Dongting said again: "I do have some thoughts in my heart. I intend to allocate 10 percent of the taxes collected in various localities this year to the local government offices to set up emergency banks to deal with various natural disasters in the past year, such as the cold snap at the beginning of the year and the floods in Jinghu South Road a few months ago. At present, the livelihood of the people in various parts of our Great Song Dynasty is finally becoming stable, if the people are hungry because of natural disasters and other things, it will be the fault of our imperial court......"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh softly, and thought of the collapse of the Cen Xi Coal Mine again.

Lu Xiufu and the others were slightly stunned at first, and then nodded again and again, "The emperor is ...... Mingming"

The 10% tax could not move the national capital of the Great Song Dynasty, but it could enable the local governments of the Great Song Dynasty to have the ability to deal with various unexpected situations in the future. That's a good thing.

Of course, since the emperor implemented many new policies, it seems that none of them are wrong.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and chuckled, "Where is the Shengming, if I could have come up with this method earlier, this year's natural disaster should have been more smoothly passed." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Xiufu and said, "Lord Lu, has there been a fold in Cen Xi, Tengzhou, Guangnan West Road recently?" ”

Lu Xiufu pondered for a while and replied, "Your Majesty, there is indeed an excerpt from Tengzhou Cen Xi. It was submitted by the governor of Tengzhou, talking about the collapse of the Cenxi coal mine, which killed hundreds of people, and the Cenxi County Order made the treasury of Cenxi County empty because of the allocation of pensions. The governor of Tengzhou asked the imperial court to allocate funds to temporarily relieve Cen Xi's urgent need. This is ...... Could it be that the emperor has heard of it? ”

Of course, he knew that Zhao Dongting would not ask Cen Xi for no reason.

Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "Not only did I hear it, I was in Cen Xi at the time." This pension was also done by the Cenxi County Order. The coal mine collapsed, and hundreds of people were buried on the mountain, the scene is really terrible...... In this way, Cenxi County allocated all the money requested by Cenxi County, and allocated it as quickly as possible. ”

After saying that, he looked at the official department and said, "In addition, bring me the resume of Li Prosperity, the commander of Cenxi County, to me to see." ”

The official secretary hurriedly agreed.

I knew in my heart that Li Prosperity had handed over the fortune.

The emperor has just come back from Cen Xi to see his resume, and I am afraid that he has the intention of promoting this Li Prosperity.

I can't say it, this district and county order can soar to the sky......
