The third-class official immediately retorted, "No, the country can receive a lot of grain in a year after developing agriculture, and if they all go to business, who will farm the land?" And where does the country's food come from? ”

Song Liguang looked over with an idiot's eyes, "Didn't your lord pay attention to the routine of my dynasty?" The annual tax paid by merchants is more real than that of 10,000 acres of fertile land. ”

The man said, "But······ There are only a handful of fine goods in our dynasty······ If trade with neighboring countries is opened, will not silver be given to other countries in vain? ”

Song Liguang pondered for a moment, "The grass people privately think that the border tariffs should be charged for the sale between the two countries. Raise the prices of foreign countries and reduce the prices of domestic goods. Reproducing commodities that have the fundamental needs of the people's lives. It's enough to rest easy. ”

"For example?"

The emperor asked.

"Coal."

The emperor and the officials were puzzled, "What is coal?" ”

Song Liguang explained quietly: "Coal is an object that Mrs. Xia got by chance. You can't eat it, you can't cook it. But it ignited. It has the effect of firewood. But it's really much more convenient than firewood. ”

Before, Xia Shangshang mysteriously took out two black bumps for himself. I didn't know what this was, and then after the demonstration of Xia Shangshang, Song Liguang smelled a huge business opportunity.

He dared to conclude that in the future, the daily life of all people will be inseparable from this thing!

The emperor came forward and lit up, "Where is this thing?" ”

A gleam appeared in Song Liguang's eyes, and he sighed helplessly, "This thing was found by my wife." It's everywhere, but only she can find it. ”

There was a flash of clarity in the emperor's eyes, and the expression on his face remained unchanged, "Then if this thing is mined, how much can it be supplied at one time?" ”

Song Liguang snapped his fingers, "It's enough for the dignitaries in Beijing to use it for half a year." ”

In fact, Song Liguang didn't know how much these things were mined. Nonsense.

There are two hundred dignitaries and nobles in Beijing, and if you think about it, if you just use it for cooking, you can be as frugal as possible.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"Let's go, heavy business coal mining!"

Song Liguang was overjoyed and succeeded. "Since this thing was discovered by Yu Gongzi, then leave this matter to Yu Gongzi. After three months, I want to see coal that can supply the entire Dayan Dynasty. ”

"On the right wing of the Tiger Roaring Army, give it."

Song Li's smooth face sank like water, and he should go down.

At the moment, no one refutes it. Qi Qi said: "The emperor is wise. ”

Seeing everyone's submission, the emperor felt a little more comfortable in his heart. No matter how capable Song Liguang is, he doesn't have to surrender to his feet. The heaven of this dynasty changes with his own mind after all.

"Humph!" After leaving the court, the emperor thought that he had given Song Liguang a large sum of silver for nothing, and his heart was uncomfortable.

When he returned to the palace, he didn't care about the beauty of the flowers, and he knocked down the crown of his head.

"What's wrong with the emperor? Why are you so irritable? ”

Concubine Lan lit incense and asked gently.

"Withdrawn, withdrawn! Smell what a Rausch scent! My country is about to be unstable! What else do you want to do with incense? The emperor was extremely irritable, and picked at his dragon robe.

Concubine Lan smiled and quietly extinguished the incense in her hand, "The emperor is benevolent and righteous, and governs the country well." How can the people say such discouraged words before they have time to thank you? ”

The emperor's eyes were gloomy, "I can't be a good ruler." As soon as Liguang opened his mouth today, such a problem was easily solved. It was easy to solve the problem of national production that had plagued us for several days. Provoked the admiration of the ministers. In such a comparison, I am not such a dull and incompetent garbage! ”

Concubine Lan's eyes swept away, "The jade prince is dedicated to the country, and the emperor should be happy." ”

"Oh, if you really want to serve the country. It was time to tell the story when his wife discovered the vein. ”

Concubine Lan was shocked in her heart, Song Liguang's wife still has this kind of ability? At the moment, I didn't want to admit it in my heart, and I disdainfully said.

"The woman of the jade prince is just a woman, where can she have such ability. I'm afraid that Gongzi Yu is complaining that the emperor didn't give Mrs. Yu the title, so I guess this mention will make the emperor pay attention to it. ”

When the emperor mentioned this matter, he was also bitter in his heart, "I don't want Liguang to meddle in the affairs of Beijing again. The queen mother had to ask me to keep Liguang, and asked me to restore Liguang's former position. If I think about it, forget it.

Since it is canonized, it is impossible to ignore Liguang's wife. Unexpectedly, before Xiao Zhangzi's uniform was delivered, the princess's uniform was stopped by the queen mother, presumably, the queen mother had other plans. ”

A thought suddenly flashed through Concubine Lan's mind, "Your Majesty! ”

"Isn't it time for the princess of Tubo to go to Beijing to worship?" Concubine Lan exclaimed.

The emperor's eyes narrowed, yes, every year Tubo is almost about to enter Beijing at this hour. Remembering that a few years ago, Tubo intentionally or unintentionally proposed the idea of marriage, and he felt that Princess Jinghe was in Tubo, and the princess in the palace was still young, so he was naturally reluctant to marry them far away, so he was always vague. But this year, Princess Jinghe returned to the capital after losing her husband, and she was afraid that she would not be able to hide this time.

If the queen mother had this idea, it would be a good way to weaken Song Liguang's power. At that time, Song Liguang was far away in Tibet, and no matter how he interfered, he couldn't intervene in the wild goose dynasty.

The emperor was happy in his heart, but Concubine Lan's face was as pale as snow. If the jade prince went to Tibet, wouldn't he let the royal family of Tibet take care of it? I heard that the princess of Tubo has a domineering and arrogant temper, who can control this? What's more, Yu Gongzi finally returned to the capital, if he went, it would be difficult to see each other again in this life. Even this triennial long-term view will become a luxury.

Concubine Lan's face was pale, and the emperor was still babbling something in her ears, but she couldn't hear it clearly

"Well, the Emperor remembers. In the past, the queen mother wanted to promise you to Liguang as a princess? ”

The emperor casually mentioned it.

Concubine Lan's face turned pale, and she reacted instantly. The emperor is suspicious.

pretended to be disdainful and said: "The jade prince is frivolous, and the concubine really doesn't like it." ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and hugged the person beside him.

Concubine Lan held back the nausea that surged up in her chest, pushed the emperor away with a smile, and slowly lit Fang Cai's incense, and between her fingers, some white powder in the nail shell was inadvertently mixed with the incense.

The emperor's eyes gradually became blurred, and Concubine Lan took advantage of the situation and said, "Your Majesty, that day, the concubine's sister came to find the concubine, but she lost her temper and returned the small clothes that the concubine had worked so hard to sew to the crescent princess. also said that he didn't need the concubine's small favors. The concubine was wronged, the concubine had no children, and when she saw that the crescent moon was really well-behaved, she also regarded the crescent moon and the mandarin duck as her own daughter. Unexpectedly, my sister didn't receive half of her love. ”

Concubine Lan's tone was soft, and every word was engraved on the emperor's heart, making the emperor's heart itch.

"The concubine is old, and it is normal for her temper to be bad. I'll reward you with a prince today, is that possible? ”

Concubine Lan embarrassedly buried her head in the emperor's chest, a room of spring.
