Chapter Eighty-Six: It's not easy to convince Xiaozhuang!
"Bully?! Hum! Xiaozhuang's mood seemed to be infected by Wu Yue, and his face also became a lot colder. Wu Yue nodded, and then said, "Imperial grandmother, the emperor's position is like a person climbing to the top of a mountain, and there are cliffs everywhere. Once you sit on it, you will face a cliff and ****! If it is not handled well, the wind will attack, the heavy rain will be pouring, and the small will be bruised all over the body by this ghost weather, and the big one will be directly overturned, and he will fall to the ground, and even die! ”
"Imperial grandmother, this is still the emperor who is pro-government. People like me don't deserve this kind of 'treatment'! I was carried to the top of the mountain. Faced with not only ****, but also the four people who carried me. Will they suddenly attack me, overturn me, and fall directly into the deep cliff to die? ”
Wu Yue's words made Xiaozhuang's eyes flash with a strange light. Immediately, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang stood up.
"What do you mean, they're going to turn against you?"
Wu Yue shook his head, "Not now, it's not time yet." Because, you're still alive. More than half of the military power of the Qing Dynasty is still in your hands. However, according to your wishes, I will continue to wait, even if you are still alive on the day of my pro-government, they will be flattering on the surface, secretly control the government, and according to their wishes, rule over hundreds of officials, and do what they want to do. Once one day, you want to return to heaven, then my throne will also be replaced by them in an instant! ”
Wu Yue's words made Xiaozhuang's body involuntarily take a few steps backwards and fall on the seat. I didn't come back to my senses for more than ten minutes.
Wu Yue looked at Xiaozhuang, who was in deep thought at the moment, and did not step forward to disturb, but stood quietly in place, waiting for her to wake up.
After more than ten minutes, Xiaozhuang let out a long sigh. He shook his head with a wry smile, "Go on." ”
Wu Yue bowed slightly, and then said, "What's more, in the past few years, although the imperial court has done its best to deal with the governance of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, it still has not been able to fundamentally solve the problem. As a result, the fertile land in the two river basins was flooded every year, and the yield was reduced year after year. ”
"The reduction in production will not only bring about a reduction in taxes for the imperial court, but also a large number of displaced people. And those rebel forces that have not been annihilated by the imperial court rely on these displaced people to confront the imperial court. ”
"It's a vicious circle. If we don't take action to govern, in less than five years, our Qing Dynasty will be dragged down by these two rivers and the people who have failed to improve their lives. ”
Xiaozhuang nodded, "If you get rid of those four people, you will have a way to deal with these things?" Xiaozhuang raised his eyebrows, looked at Wu Yue and asked.
Wu Yue nodded.
"I have a sum of silver in hand, but I guarantee that the imperial court will not need to levy taxes from the common people for three years, so that the common people of the Qing Dynasty will have time to breathe." Wu Yue said in a deep voice.
"You're saying that you can exempt the Qing Dynasty from taxes for three years?" Xiaozhuang heard Wu Yue's words, his eyes widened, and his face turned red instantly.
Wu Yue smiled mysteriously and nodded.
"Have you forgotten that I asked you if you borrowed money?"
"You're saying Darha succeeded?" Xiaozhuang's face was shocked, and his body was even trembling a little at this moment.
"Hmm." While Wu Yue was talking, he stepped forward to support Xiaozhuang's body and sat down next to her. Then he said, "In the past three years, Darha has used 100,000 silver as capital to buy goods from the customs and transport them to the northwest to sell. Not only did it bring millions of silver to the imperial court, but it also drove most of the commerce in the capital and even around the capital. At that time, I secretly ordered Sony to increase business taxes. In the past two or three years, the tax income of the imperial court has been paid in 10,000 taels. ”
"These treasury revenues, why haven't you heard those four people talk about them?" Xiaozhuang looked at Wu Yue suspiciously.
Wu Yue smiled mysteriously, "It was arranged by me to be stored in the secret treasury. There are very few people who know the news. ”
Hearing this, Xiaozhuang pondered for a moment, and then said, "Grandson, do you know how much the treasury earns in a year? As for the millions of taels of silver that Darha earned, it was still not enough to withstand the Qing Dynasty for one year, let alone three years? ”
"I still have the millions of taels that Wei Dongting earned back from going to sea, and they won't be idle in the process of dealing with these four old fritters. There will be a steady stream of money to be earned. Wu Yue responded in a deep voice.
The amount of silver that Wei Dongting and Darha earned back was far higher than what Wu Yue said at the moment. Wu Yue thought carefully in her heart, if she told Xiaozhuang the truth, she would definitely plan to calculate these silvers, supervise Wu Yue at all times, and let him think of ways to maximize his interests, so as to completely stabilize the government.
In Wu Yue's heart, he was ready to start cutting the domain.
After all, time is running out. Wu Yue has been in the study more than once, and has seen the resignation excerpt handed by Wang Shang Kexi of Pingnan.
Wu Yue, who is familiar with the history of the Qing Dynasty, deeply understands that Shang Kexi resigned, and then Shang Zhixin attacked his throne, and then the conspiracy of the three feudatories, through the handing of excerpts, asked to cut the feudal domain, tested the imperial court, and then revealed the rebellion.
The time before and after will definitely not exceed two years!
Wu Yue's heart is like a mirror, if at this time, she talks to Xiaozhuang that Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, will rebel with Shang Zhixin, the king of Pingnan, and Geng Jingzhong, the king of Jingnan, in the future, she will not believe it. After all, she had witnessed the covenant under the city back then, and she was convinced of the oath made by the three people and the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty at that time!
Therefore, there is not much time left for Wu Yue. Everything must be carried out from now on, in full swing!
Xiaozhuang frowned, shook his head gently, and his eyes aimed at the location of the apse from time to time.
And at this moment, Wu Yue was thinking about how to persuade Xiaozhuang, so he didn't notice her subtle eyes at the moment.
Wu Yue saw that Xiaozhuang still did not let go, and hurriedly continued, "Today, you and Suo Zhongtang have agreed on the marriage date between me and Wan'er, if it goes well, according to the usual practice, tomorrow's dynasty will announce the news." ”
"What followed was the consummation of marriage and pro-government. It's all a matter of course. If I were Ao Bai and Sukh Saha, I would definitely not be happy to let me hand over the power in my hands. I will definitely try my best to protect the imperial power that is not easy to get. ”
"So what to do? Grandmother, tell me, what would you do if you were one of those scheming ghosts? Wu Yue's eyes narrowed, stared at Xiaozhuang tightly, and asked in a deep voice.
Xiaozhuang shook his head again, and did not respond to Wu Yue's words, but looked at the palace gate of the apse of Cining Palace, and said softly, "You can hear it almost well, come out!" ”
Seeing this, Wu Yue instantly understood what was going on. All this is a test set for him by Sony and the mysterious man.
Wu Yue's cheeks instantly became cold, and his eyes looked straight in the direction of the palace gate of the apse.
"Suo Zhongtang, if you make a big joke, you will die!" Before Wu Yue saw anyone come out, he determined the identity of the person who came, and said coldly.
