Chapter 672: The Treasury is in Emergency
Although Qi Yuan was very busy, when he was busy, he did not forget to go to Zhennan Wangfu every day to visit Liuying.
Sometimes, they even bring freshly picked fruit.
He is very diligent and studious, and he has been liked by many people, and some people in the government regard him as a role model and respect him.
For everyone, Qi Yuan is not only a genius, but now his identity in the court is also special, and he was personally recommended by the King of Zhennan, just because this young man's identity was originally very different, so he would be like this.
Bai Mengxian was rarely in the palace during this time, after all, now that Liuying is back, she is also bored in the palace, she handed over the child to the people around her to take care of, and went to the palace when she had nothing to do.
Anyway, it's boring to be in the palace now, so it's good to talk to Liuying, besides, Bai Mengxian misses it very much in her heart, all these years, Liuying is not in the capital, she is also looking forward to Liuying coming back, and now that Liuying is back, she won't let her go, let Liuying be idle.
Between the two, there are endless words.
"The prince is now in the Zhou Kingdom, I don't know when he will come back?" Bai Mengxian asked suspiciously.
Liuying put down the embroidery sample in her hand and said with a smile, "It should be another four or five days, and the prince said that the affairs of the Zhou Kingdom have been dealt with, what's the matter, the court has something to do, and the prince needs his help?" ”
Bai Mengxian was thin-skinned, he didn't expect Liuying to guess his thoughts like this, but he didn't expect it.
"Although Yan seems to be rich, but the people still have a lot of nothing to do at home, the treasury has been empty for a while, but the emperor is always worried about what to do if a big disaster suddenly happens, so I want to ask the prince to come back and help."
I think it's because Liuying is his own person, so Bai Mengxian didn't hide it when he spoke, but directly said his troubles, after all, if this matter is not resolved, it will become a disaster one day.
"I remember, when we left the capital, the treasury was full, what has happened in the past few years, I see that Chu Li's governance of the imperial court is still good, is it that someone is secretly calculating?" Liuying said suspiciously.
Bai Mengxian frowned, his eyes deep.
"In the past five years, disasters have always fallen from the sky, and every time this happens, the emperor uses the silver from the treasury to relieve the disaster, but among the civil and military officials, some people secretly use their power for personal gain, and the officials protect each other, and there is still not much surplus of the last silver in the hands of the people, and the emperor is busy with anxiety, and this matter has not been debunked until now."
Liuying heard the problem, it turned out that there were rice worms in the imperial court, and now that the king of Zhennan is not there, there are people who want to do anything wrong in Yan Kingdom, it seems that there are still people who don't know what to do.
"The step taken from the beginning is wrong, so it has been wrong, no one knows what to do next, but it can't be like this, in fact, if you add the annual tax payment, the merchant also has a lot of silver taels, isn't it?"
Of course, Bai Mengxian knew that if someone was willing to pay taxes, the situation would not be like this, she understood very well, but the situation in her heart became more and more embarrassing, if things could go to the step she said, it would be good, but the problem is that things are not able to go as they wish, which is the most terrible.
"Since five years ago, the annual tax payment of silver is only 10,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, many officials in the court intercede for the businessman, and then the emperor is soft-hearted, so half of the tax is exempted, but the businessman's pocket is full, and now the emperor is worried in the palace, this matter, now I don't know where to start to deal with it."
When Liuying heard this, she also understood the problem in her heart, it seems that she can only ask Yuan Chufeng to come back to deal with this matter, otherwise it will be difficult to say if she encounters other problems at that time.
"Now let the emperor deal with the affairs of the court, this matter between businessmen, and then ask the prince to come back to deal with it, the prince is the best at this matter, and when the prince makes a move, I think this matter can be solved as soon as possible, so there is no need to worry." Liuying said indifferently, and quickly figured out a way.
"That's fine, it's finally possible to solve this matter." Bai Mengxian sighed.
"But this court can't be like this after all, it's not good if you keep being held by others, there can only be one venerable person in this world, that is the emperor, if others want to use their own means to seek benefits, this is absolutely impossible."
Bai Mengxian knew when he heard Liuying say this, if this matter was handed over to the King of Zhennan to deal with, he thought that the two of them would be able to handle this matter.
She was a little depressed in her heart, this queen didn't do a good job after all, she originally wanted to be a good assistant by Yuan Chuli's side, but after all, she couldn't do anything, she was really a little worried when she thought of this.
"I, the queen, can only accompany him by his side now, and I can't do anything anymore, after all, I can't stand him"
Liuying said soothingly, "You are already very competent as a queen, and all the civil and military officials are praising you, especially the ladies in the capital, they know that you are the queen, but they are especially complimenting you, how can you be so arrogant, if I were you, I would gladly accept all this, this is your own glory and has nothing to do with others." ”
Bai Mengxian heard Liuying's comfort, and finally found himself in his heart, understanding that no matter what, the things he accepted in his heart would never change, at least for him, some things had already been decided, and there would be no other reasons.
After sending Bai Mengxian away, Liuying remembered that she hadn't written to the prince for a long time, and originally thought that Yan Guo was now too peaceful, and there was nothing to worry about them anymore, but she didn't expect these things to suddenly happen.
It seems that the dispute between this court is still turbulent in the dark, and it must be rectified in this court, otherwise if someone is stirring up behind the scenes. The emperor can't cope with the wind and rain.
Nian'an was beside Liuying, looking at Liuying, picking up the pen and writing a letter, it seemed that it was written to her father, she smiled and was very happy.
She said with some confusion, "Why hasn't Daddy come back yet?" Mother, this is for Daddy, it's better to let Daddy come back sooner, Nian'an misses Daddy a little. ”
Liuying said teasingly, "Don't you have a brother now, why do you miss your father again, if you miss it, I haven't heard you mention your forgotten father recently." ”
Nian An was a little embarrassed, "Recently, I have been going to my brother's house a lot, so I rarely mention my father, and I think that my father is also coming back, and when the time comes, I will be filial piety in front of my father, and it will not be good, my mother is worried about me now, blame me for ignoring my mother." ”
