The servant girl used to pretend to be afraid of yelling, but now, she really wanted to beat her, and before the board went down, the servant girl cried in fear.

What's the use of crying?

King Changsheng is going to come to see, even if she is the personal maid of the concubine, the people of the punishment garden do not dare to beat lightly, hit hard, beat quickly, and beat the maid who cried and called her mother, calling every day unacceptable, and calling the earth and the earth ineffective.

Jing Jing and Xiao Changyi walked all the way to the Punishment Garden, but they didn't enter the Punishment Garden, so they bypassed the Punishment Garden and walked back to the Fenghua Hall from another road.

Concubine Yu learned that Jing Jing and Xiao Changyi had not entered the Punishment Garden at all, and her personal maid had been beaten to death, so she became even more angry and sharpened her teeth.

Even, the moment she heard the news, she broke the teacup in her hand.

"Okay, you're a long-winning king, you're a long-winning princess" Yu Guifei gritted her teeth, her face hideous.

Seeing Concubine Yu like this, Princess Pingjun didn't dare to speak.

As soon as she returned to Fenghua Palace, she sat quietly at the table and ate the hawthorn cake that Xiao Changyi asked her to prepare.

Her father-in-law loves her, what she wants to eat, she gets it for her in different ways, she is really happy.

However, the hawthorn cake was not as sour as imagined, and he ate a few pieces quietly, so he didn't eat it again, but started at the plate of sour plums on the table again, and stuffed them into his mouth one by one to eat.

Xiao Changyi sat next to Quiet, drinking tea slowly and eating quietly.

The cold eyes were slightly constricted, and he took the initiative to open the ** substitution: "The old man asked me to go to the imperial study for"

Before Xiao Changyi finished speaking, he smiled quietly: "Xianggong, there are some things you don't have to tell me. ”

Xiao Changyi lightly held one of her hands, "But I want to tell you." After a pause, "You tell me everything, and I want to tell you too." ”

Quiet was stunned for a moment, and then her heart was sweet to death, and she said with a smile: "Then you can say it." "I'm most afraid of not responding to emotional things, her father-in-law can respond to her, she can also respond to her father-in-law, it's really good, and the good can't be better.

"Hmm." Xiao Changyi nodded, and then said: "In the first half of this year, there were many disasters, the treasury allocated silver and grain relief frequently, and now there is not much grain and silver left in the treasury, and all officials advocate tax increases, especially commercial taxes and agricultural taxes. ”

Quietly frowned and said: "The imperial father and the emperor know the suffering of the people, Xiyun has been raising taxes in agriculture quite steadily, almost unchanged, the agricultural tax collected is actually very high, the fields planted by the people pay the tax, barely able to make a living, and if the tax is raised, the people will definitely not be able to make a living." ”

"That's right." Xiao Changyi nodded in agreement.

After a quiet silence, he asked, "Xianggong, what is the result of your negotiation?" ”

Xiao Changyi said: "I am against increasing the agricultural tax, and the old man and Chengyu temporarily dispelled the idea of increasing the agricultural tax, but if the increased commercial tax cannot ensure that the treasury is sufficient for grain and silver, it will inevitably increase the agricultural tax in the future." ”

Quiet had a plum in his mouth, thought for a while, and then said: "If the imperial father can be cheeky and reach out to those who have money to ask for it, in fact, there is no need to increase the commercial tax and agricultural tax at all." ”

There are so many rich merchants and many nobles, if Emperor Xiyun asks for a little bit from each family, and if he gets together, the treasury is guaranteed to be sufficient.
