Although Sun Lianan didn't want to talk about it in detail, he couldn't help Gao Zhan and his people were very curious about it.

He's also very good at clichés.

It soon came out of the mouths of the local people that the Chinese court was recently preparing to issue construction bonds for the restoration of industry and agriculture in the newly occupied areas.

A total of two million taels of silver were issued.

Ordinary people rushed to buy it.

After hearing this, Gao Zhan couldn't help but be confused for a moment, he was a smart person, but no matter how smart he was, he still didn't understand what the national debt meant?

The Chinese Imperial Court also issued treasury bonds? Borrowing money from ordinary people? What's even more outrageous is that the common people are still bent on rushing to buy and rush to lend money to the state.

"Could it be...... High interest? ”

Sun Lianan smiled: "It's okay, it's not too high, but it's okay, we have internal channels, so I also subscribed for three hundred taels, not much, that is, a mind." ”

Mingyue said softly: "The year before last, our Majesty issued a public bond, and after many ordinary people subscribed for it, they tore it up on the spot, and they didn't want the court to pay back the money at all, purely to support the construction." ”

Gao Zhan: "......"

He couldn't help but think that because of the tax hike, he announced his independence from the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty and switched to Fang Ruohua's fourteen counties.

If you don't accept it, you can't do it, but you're still smart.

When I walked to the vicinity of the yamen in a daze, I saw the long queue at the gate of the tax bureau, merchants, workers, and all kinds of people, all of whom were happily going to pay taxes, and the commercial tax was not low at all, and it was even higher than that of the Great Zhou.

Gao Zhan felt more and more that Da Zhou lost to others, and he was not wronged at all.

While collecting taxes, people can also make the common people spontaneously and willingly pay money to buy treasury bonds, and everyone applauds them if they buy them, and they have to queue up to buy them if they are not allowed to buy.

Da Zhou casually raised taxes, but he was full of complaints and almost lost the country.

How can there be such a big difference?

The two generations of emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, that is also the Ming monarch to whom he is wholeheartedly loyal, at least, when he was still the emperor, both kings were Ming monarchs.

His Majesty also used to sleep at night, and he was also worried about floods and droughts for many years, and he also spoke harshly in the court, reprimanding the ministers who were vegetarians.

His Great Zhou also had a prosperous and peaceful era.

The people have also bathed in the emperor's grace and are grateful to His Majesty.

No matter how much Gao Zhan sighed, he had to accept the rapid changes in this world.

In the eyes of most ordinary people, the Great Zhou is now a dynasty that is about to be buried in the pile of old papers, and it is not worth paying more attention.

"That's it."

Gao Zhan sighed, "Please...... Arrange for me to meet...... Your Majesty. ”

Mingyue nodded with a smile: "Tomorrow, Your Majesty has an appointment with General Li Zhaoyuan of Lijiazhai and General Wang Hongfeng, so how about arranging for Mr. Gao the day after tomorrow?" ”

Gao Zhan could only respond.

On the day of the visit, Gao Zhan's mood relaxed a lot, and when he turned around, he smelled a burst of fragrance coming from a steam-pot chicken shop, so he simply raised his feet and walked in, and as soon as he opened the bead curtain and entered the door, Gao Zhan saw Li and Wang Er's generals sitting on the seats next to the bed, eating with gusto.

Li Zhaoyuan was taken aback when he saw him, a mouthful of rice spurted out, and he coughed.

Wang Hongfeng also smiled.

Gao Zhan coughed, he already knew that Li Zhaoyuan and Wang Hongfeng were currently in Nan'an City, after all, the post house was so big, and the three of them lived in the adjacent courtyard, so they didn't shy away from entering and leaving, how could they not see it?

It's just that he's okay, it is estimated that the two generals are not old enough, and they are not as thick-skinned as him, and they are a little embarrassed, so they always take the initiative to avoid them.

Although Gao Zhan is famous for his tongue arguments, he himself is quite gentlemanly, and he has always been kind to others, even in the face of peddlers and pawns, he is always polite and has never put on a shelf.

The Gao family all have these qualities.

Since Li and Wang didn't want to see each other, he didn't know about it, but now that they met each other, they couldn't just turn around and leave.

Gao Zhan didn't feel embarrassed at all, led Sun Lian'an and Mingyue forward, and said with a smile: "General Li, General Wang, I haven't seen you for many days, and the two of you are looking at the spirit." ”

“…… Mr. Gao was polite. ”

In the end, these two are also the leaders of one side, leading the troops to fight for many years, no matter how embarrassing things are, they have not met before, they have seen the courtesy, politely beckoned people to sit down, and went to the table again.

Each other has a heart, and in a few words, that little embarrassment is very easy to go with the wind.

The fragrant food entered the stomach, the fragrant glutinous rice wine entrance, slightly smoky, the three of them didn't feel that they had a few more gossips, sighed about all kinds of new things in Nan'an City, and talked about what the former Sea King, the current Empress of China, has done in the past few years.

"General Li, General Wang, your choice may be very correct."

Gao Zhan sighed in a low voice, "Even Your Majesty the Great Zhou, I'm afraid you can't ignore the exploits of this Empress of China, and now, the hearts of the people are in China." ”

Li Zhaoyuan and Wang Hongfeng were a little embarrassed.

Gao Zhan glanced at the file bags they had rested on the table, as well as an admission notice, and raised his eyebrows: "You also want to go to the officer training school in Huaxia?" ”

Then it became clear that they were not cronies after all, and it was impossible for the empress to be in charge of the military by them without defense.

As soon as he mentioned the matter of enrollment, Li Zhaoyuan's expression was calm, and he nodded: "Yes, I heard that the Huaxia Sea Dragon Army is going to be changed to the National Defense Army, and the officers and generals of the National Defense Army must have a graduation certificate from the military academy, and all the generals are treated equally, without exception." ”

These days, even their own brothers, some people are secretly worried, after all, the brothers are almost all broken up and reorganized, and the officers have to go to what officer training courses, and after reading, they will be assigned separately.

This kind of practice really makes the big guy feel uneasy.

However, when they saw the empress that day, their hearts suddenly became steady.

On that day, His Majesty sat in the study, the layout in the study was very warm, there were a few fresh dresses on the screen, and there was a small dressing table, which was a little messy, and a few pieces of jewelry were scattered.

The whole study, there are traces of life everywhere, they can step into the place where His Majesty lives and live so easily, and they don't even have the weapons on their bodies taken away, that kind of trust, almost instantly let their hearts completely put back into their chests.

As soon as the two of them bent their knees, they were about to kneel, but Fang Ruohua got up to avoid it, and said with a smile: "I was thinking about abolishing the kneeling ceremony, kneeling and bowing this kind of etiquette, I have always felt that when respecting the heavenly ancestors, it is good to bow down, and I don't have to kneel at ordinary times." ”

"I hope that as long as I am a Chinese citizen, I will stand at all times and stand up to the sky."

Li Zhaoyuan has not forgotten until now, and every sentence of what His Majesty said at that time was particularly exciting.

Anyway, after that, if His Majesty says anything, his mind will also be a mess, and he will only nod his head in a daze, feeling that every sentence is right.
