The magnificent residence of the national teacher.

It also belongs to the Luojing Imperial City area, which was originally a gorgeous palace of the previous dynasty, and now it was directly given to Qin Feng by Zhao Yuanjin, and it can be moved in after a little renovation and transformation.

At this moment, it is almost noon, and the avenue in front of the mansion is full of traffic, and there is an endless stream of people who come to meet the national teacher. There are officials, nobles, clan relatives, rich businessmen and powerful people in the people.

Since understanding Emperor Chu's mind and the current power structure of the Great Chu court, the government and the opposition did not dare to have any criticism, and some clever characters immediately prepared gifts and hurried over to curry favor, looking forward to seeking some benefits from the national teacher.

Of course, with the current status of the national teacher, it is impossible for everyone to have the opportunity to see. Moreover, Qin Feng himself has no idea about the power of the DPRK regime at all, so it is impossible to engage in any kind of faction and selfishness and cultivation of power.

"If you want to be an official, go to the emperor; If you want to get rich, go to the national teacher. ”

This sentence has already spread in private, the national teacher is an immortal, and of course he will not have any interest in secular power. He only has a special preference for doing business to make money, so he also persuaded the emperor to change the tradition of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce in previous dynasties, vigorously develop industry and commerce, establish customs, and trade with overseas countries.

“…… Although the imperial court was still in a short period of time, it had already tasted the sweetness of opening the sea trade, and it is said that several treaty ports collected nearly 300,000 taels of tax and silver every month, not counting the huge profits of trade itself. ”

In the carriage, Hong Chenxuan looked at the main entrance of the majestic and solemn National Teacher's Mansion, and said with a sad expression.

Cai Xinglong, who was next to him, said faintly: "I once heard that when the emperor took Luojing City, he asked people to count the treasures of the treasury, but in addition to some cloth, silk, mulberry and hemp, the gold and silver treasures were emptied, and dozens of halls were clean and slippery, and it was just an empty city." ”

Yu Qing sneered: "That's right, it's an empty city." But those goods were all taken away by the national teacher a few months ago, and of course they are the private property of the national teacher. Is the emperor still embarrassed to ask the national teacher for success? He should be the poorest founding son, right? ”

"Not necessarily,"

Zhang Heyuan shook his head and said: "There are a lot of goods in the treasury of Jinling City, and now that the emperor has decided to make the capital Luojing, as long as these things are transported from the south, there will naturally be no problem." What's more, the sea trade and commercial taxes are so rich, the imperial court will not be short of silver at all. ”

"But these should have been our silver."

There was a hint of cruelty in Cai Xinglong's tone: "The emperor announced an amnesty to the world, and at the same time reduced or exempted the agricultural tax and salt tax of the people across the country, but the gentry could not reduce it, and the merchants also had to pay taxes. There is also the establishment of customs to crack down on smuggling...... This court treats us so harshly, but it goes to please and please those mud legs! How could he do that? How dare that?! ”

Compared with all dynasties. These major policies of the Chu Dynasty were indeed relatively light on the people at the bottom, while the life of the gentry class was not so easy, not to mention that the privileges were greatly weakened, and a lot of taxes were increased.

In particular, the smuggling trade was something that many families in the south were involved in, and they profited greatly from it. Now that the imperial court has expanded the naval division to control the sea frontier, it has blocked this hole with harsh means, which means that such a large piece of cake has basically been taken by the imperial court, how can they, the heads of the family, endure it?

Hong Chenxuan sighed and said: "To be fair, these national policies are extremely beneficial to the imperial court, after all, finance is the foundation of the imperial court's operation. As long as the descendants of later generations are not too incompetent, the national glory of the Great Chu Dynasty may be expected to break through the limit of three hundred years. ”

The heads of the family were relatively silent, and the court tasted enough sweetness that it would never be possible to let go in the future. In other words, their good days are completely over, if there is no special chance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Emperor Taizu is wise and powerful, it is impossible to be easily fooled, maybe we can only hope for the next generation of Son of Heaven."

Yu Qing said, his eyes looked at Hong Chenxuan.

Several people understood what he meant, Concubine Hong gave birth to a prince a few days ago, and the emperor was very happy about this, and gave a lot of rewards, and she was promoted to a noble concubine, second only to the queen.

In the harem, the queen is below the four concubines of noble, lady, virtuous and virtuous. According to the ancient rites, the first and fourth concubines of the Son of Heaven are actually one wife and four equal wives. These five positions are the most respected in the harem, and the heirs born are all qualified to compete for unification.

Therefore, now the heads of the family are pinning their hopes on Hong Chenxuan's grandson, if the little prince can grow up safely and be made the crown prince, after successfully ascending the throne in the future, he will naturally be able to try to modify these national policies.

"It's too early to say this, and we have to rely on your support." Hong Chenxuan said humbly.

The heads of the family expressed their attitudes one after another, saying that they came to visit the national teacher this time, that is, they wanted to find out Qin Feng's attitude, if they could try to get him to come forward and say something, even if it was just acquiescence, things would be promising.

On a small square in the residence of the National Teacher.

“…… It's time to turn, so you can slow down. ”

A bright red electric car drove over slowly, in the main driver's seat, a demure and elegant, skinned beauty like snow was carefully holding the steering wheel, Qin Feng in the passenger seat patiently instructed: "The action should be gentle and natural, don't be too nervous......"

"Well, it's amazing,"

The queen was a little shy and excited, and said: "This fairy family strange thing, it feels really extraordinary. Next time, the national teacher will also bring one to the palace, okay? ”

"Absolutely." Qin Feng replied.

The queen peeked at him, her delicate face was slightly flushed, for the convenience of driving, she did not wear that complicated and gorgeous palace skirt today, but changed into a snow-white tight-fitting samurai uniform, with exquisite curves, and her slender and plump legs were tightly closed when they were together, which looked very charming.

This queen can be called Bing Xue smart, and she looks decent in just a few days after she first learns, and it may not take too long for Qin Feng to have the confidence to teach her to be a professional female driver.

After Yun Qijun mentioned this matter last time, Qin Feng looked for and purchased a batch of cars to transport over, the advantage of this electric car is that the structure is relatively simple and easy to control, but it needs to be charged frequently, for which he also purchased a number of auxiliary facilities such as generators and charging piles.

It should not be difficult to select some clever servants here to train and guide, and it should not be difficult to learn the basic charging and maintenance, if there is a big problem, just get it back to the main world and deal with it.

The speed of the electric car was not fast, and a group of palace maids followed alongside them, envious and curious at this kind of fairy strange thing, and full of awe at the same time.

"The queen mother, everyone should also be together."

Princess Zhao Xinyue ran over with great interest, pulled the car door and entered the back seat.

The queen gave her daughter a strange look and said nothing.

"National teacher, about that matter...... Seeing that there were no outsiders, the queen hesitated for a while, and finally said something.
