Ding Yuzhao hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy loudly: "The emperor is angry, it is the short-sightedness and short-sightedness of the micro-minister, and the micro-minister knows his mistake...."

But after he said these words involuntarily, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Ding Yuzhao and Ping Qinian held the same opinion, and the two stood on the united front. When he criticizes himself like this, isn't he indirectly criticizing Ping Qinian for being a short-sighted rat? ?

He shuddered.

It's over, he's offended on both sides now!

Yu Muhuai no longer looked at Ding Yuzhao, who was trembling on the ground, and turned to look at Ping Qinian.

"What does Aiqing think?"

Although Yu Muhuai sang a contradiction, he still had to ask the opinion of this nine-thousand-year-old.

At present, she is fledgling, and the superficial work that should be done must be in place.

But he never thought that Ping Qinian lowered his eyes and lowered his head, but he actually made a low-brow and pleasing appearance, and did not say any more objections.

"Weichen thinks that what the emperor said is very true."

Yu Muhuai raised her eyebrows, she glanced at Ding Yuzhao meaningfully, and then looked back.

"In response to the corruption of the post station, can Zhong Aiqing have a solution?"

The matter of banning the post station turned over, and Yu Muhuai successfully brought into another topic.

After that, the ministers below expressed their opinions and put forward various opinions.

Yu Muhuai pondered for a moment, combined with the actual situation and the experience of the previous life, and selected the most suitable plan, and let people implement it.

"Scattered."

With Ping Qinian's words, Yu Muhuai got up and left the dragon chair, turned around and walked down the steps, and walked towards the back of the main hall.

There are only a few things to discuss in the court, and there are many things that need to be reviewed in the imperial study after the dispersal of the court.

In the previous life, Wan Zhixin was diligent and diligent, and he never rested a day throughout the year, and he only slept for two or three hours a day, and he forced his hair to turn white.

Because since Ping Qinian's death, Wan Zhixin no longer trusts other people who help deal with the twists and turns, so he does everything himself, and handles all the big and small things by himself.

In this way, not only is it hard to vomit blood, but it is also easy to fall into the wrong thinking area, which leads to wrong judgment of some things.

What is now in front of Yu Muhuai can actually be summed up as one thing in the final analysis.

Lack of money.

There is a shortage of money for disaster relief, for military salaries, and for weapons and equipment.

As a result, the number of hungry people increased, the strength of the Cong State declined, and it was very difficult to defend against foreign enemies.

The reason for the lack of money is that most of the money is in the hands of a few.

There are several corrupt officials in the DPRK who are very well hidden, and eunuchs such as Ping Qinian are rich.

The wealthy merchants in the east and south had money, and their money was used at most to bribe court officials.

The iron merchants in the northwest were rich, but they opened the door for the country.

There is a very famous city in the northwest called Tiedou Castle.

The reason why Iron Doucheng is famous is because they have a group of local merchants who are very famous.

These merchants got their name from the name of the city, and they were known as iron merchants.

Because of geographical reasons, iron merchants have a lot of contacts with the people of Jianguo on the border.

At this time, the scientific and technological level of Cong was among the best in the world, and the iron casting and gunpowder production were among the top in the world.

The marginal wilderness where the grasslands grew up in the country of Jianguo only know how to plunder, and they don't know anything about advanced technology.

The iron merchants smuggled all kinds of iron tools and gunpowder out in exchange for many cattle, sheep and horses, minerals, money, and so on....

The iron merchants made a lot of money, but they brought huge hidden dangers to the country.

In the later period of the last life, after the all-out war between the Jin and Cong countries, the iron merchants also sold state secrets.

Including topographic maps, military intelligence, specific branches of major military locations, down to the names of some defenders, family members, number of soldiers, equipment, etc.....

When the Cong State was in decline, the iron merchants provided a large amount of money and grain to the Jin State with the money and grain they usually earned from the country.

From a profiteer who made a fortune, he completely became a traitor who betrayed the country.

In short, it has something to do with money.

Yu Muhuai glanced at Ping Qinian beside him, but thought of a dog-eat-dog idea.

She knew that what Ping Qinian hated most in his life was rich businessmen.

Born into a poor peasant family, Ping Qinian was exploited by the rich merchants in the town since he was a child, and he was so hungry that he barely had enough to eat.

The shadow of childhood had a great impact on Ping Qinian.

This is one of the reasons why he is now constantly increasing taxes on wealthy businessmen across the country, complicating business procedures, and strictly controlling foreign trade procedures.

It is precisely because of Ping Qinian's oppression of wealthy businessmen that some wealthy businessmen have to bribe officials of the civilian clique in order to live a more comfortable life.

Yu Muhuai sighed silently.

If it weren't for the fact that she had all the memories of the causes and consequences of the previous life, I am afraid that she would not be able to see these twists and turns of the relationship thoroughly.

It is a difficult and tortuous path for the king of a country to balance the forces of all parties.

As he walked, Yu Muhuai suddenly stopped.

Ping Qinian, who was following all the way from the rear, also stopped.

He looked at the emperor inexplicably.

Seeing the emperor turn around and look at a few crooked-necked trees on the side, he had a gloomy look on his face.

"The Heavenly King is cool.

It's cold, and it's time for the ironsellers to go bankrupt. ”

Ping Qinian was stunned for a moment.

He understood the word iron merchant, not what "bankruptcy" was.

After hesitating for a moment, Ping Qinian asked, "Your Majesty, what does bankruptcy mean?" But what do you want the iron merchant to do? ”

Among the merchants who increased their taxes, of course, there were the Northwest Iron Merchants.

The iron merchants hated Ping Qinian because of this, and they also transferred this hatred to the emperor.

Ping Qinian also can't get used to the group of profiteers who have thousands of dollars in the northwest, but they don't want to give a mouthful of rice soup to the hungry people.

Although Ping Qinian is bad, he is mainly bad to the powerful and disobedient civil and military ministers in the court.

Yu Muhuai turned his head, looked at Ping Qinian, and said seriously.

"Admiral Ping, I suspect that the Northwest Iron Merchants and the Jianguo have a lot of trade."

In the past, it was normal to trade with other countries.

But now that the two countries are at war, there must be something wrong with the large number of transactions.

Ping Qinian frowned.

Although he has many henchmen, he has limited minions that reach the barren areas of the northwest, and he does not know much about the situation in Iron Doucheng.

"Your Majesty, where did this news come from?"

Yu Muhuai looked up at the sky, and said mysteriously: "I watch the stars at night...."

Ping Qinian was speechless.

Now in broad daylight, where do the stars come from??

Is this emperor sleeping too little and his head is a little confused?

But as a courtier, Ping Qinian didn't dare to say this.

Although the emperor's words are a bit nonsense, the focus is exactly what he wants.

Last year, Ping Qinian wanted to move the iron business, but Wan Zhixin at that time found another excuse and politely refused.

This is one of the things that Wan Zhixin rarely rejected Ping Qinian before tearing his face.

At that time, Wan Zhixin thought that Ping Qinian wanted to make money and stretched out his hand to the iron merchant.
