Chapter 345: Eternal Mingjun
In the next few months, Lu Jingheng almost went to the court every three or five days, and the time in the court became shorter and shorter, but every day he would take two hours to drink tea with Kuo Tianchen, He Jinliang, Luo Yucheng and others, and when he got along with Xia Qian, he always deliberately mentioned some court politics to her.
Xia Qian has never been interested in court politics, but Lu Jingheng is absent-minded about her as if he didn't see it, and he also pulled Xia Qian to accompany her to review the folds, and read a piece of excerpts to her from time to time, asking her what to do?
"You are the emperor, how can you ask me this kind of thing? Besides, I didn't know that in the first place, huh? She looked at him inexplicably.
He picked up the brush and wrote the approval on the upper fold, while explaining lightly: "I don't know if you can learn, you put yourself in my position, think about how to deal with this matter!" ”
She doesn't know how to do politics, but she has watched a lot of dramas. Min Si thought for a while, and she finally came up with an answer that barely satisfied him.
He smiled and closed the fold, looked at her and commanded, "From tomorrow onwards, come with me as soon as possible!" ”
"Huh?" Xia Qian looked at the other party in disbelief.
For a whole evening, she was persuading the other party to let her let go of this idea, but for the first time, he didn't get into it, no matter what she said, how she begged, how angry, all the next morning, took her to sit on the Qiankun Hall.
Lu Jingheng coughed again recently, she asked the hospital no less than seven times, and everyone said that the emperor was fine, but he needed to take care of it, reduce his labor, and hope that the queen would share more worries for the emperor.
Lu Jingheng also said that he has been feeling tired recently, and he has to work hard for her to spend some effort to help him take care of the government.
Knowing that it was inappropriate, but she couldn't let the courtiers do it for her, so she could only sit beside him, and while earnestly asking for advice, she carefully imitated his handwriting and read the thick folds on the bookcase one by one.
In the court, Lu Jingheng would also ask her for advice from time to time, and the court members were very surprised at first, but after more than a month, everyone seemed to get used to it.
One morning, Li Maoqi said that this year's rain is good, the grain is abundant, and the tax has been exempted for two years, and it is suggested that more tax rents be levied this year to keep in the state treasury.
Lu Jingheng asked Xia Qian's opinion, Xia Qian thought about it, and said that it was rare for the people to have a good harvest, and now it was the time to recuperate, so it was better to give everyone another year to buffer.
"Niangniang, our treasury has long been empty, some of the silver spent in the past two years has been borrowed from Mobei, and some have been confiscated from Liuyun Pavilion, and now all this silver has been spent, and we don't collect taxes from the people, how can we maintain the huge expenses of the whole country?"
Xia Qian was asked, Lu Jingheng thought about it, and passed on the holy decree to let the people live with peace of mind, and continue to be exempt from taxes and forced labor this year!
The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu looked at the emperor in shock, as if he felt that he had been brainwashed by Xia Qian's fascination.
Back then, Simon wanted to withdraw the Liuyun Pavilion, but Lu Jingheng made a move in advance and left half of it, on the grounds that although the Liuyun Pavilion was built by Simon's people, most of the people who sent silver to it were from the Yi country.
Although he didn't know the reason for Que Ming's withdrawal, he expected that Que Ming would not send troops to Yi because of the matter of silver, because for Que Ming, silver was not what he valued the most.
But now, the silver has run out, and the gold, silver and jewelry that Huo Zun brought back from Mobei will also be used up, and the borrowed grain will be eaten up.
The courtiers stared at the emperor wide-eyed, to see if he could conjure up silver empty-handed.
Back in Zichen Palace, she asked Lu Jingheng if he didn't levy taxes on the people, but there were other solutions?
Lu Jingheng shook his head and said that in addition to borrowing grain from Mobei
, is to borrow from the East Wing State, Mobei is not good at producing grain, and last year it has borrowed a lot, the East Wing now has little contact with the Yi State, it is estimated that it will not be able to borrow.
"I've got a headache, you have to figure it out!" Lu Jingheng held his forehead, leaned on the bed and fell asleep.
Xia Qian looked at him with a leisurely look, and couldn't help but feel blocked in her heart.
Who is the emperor?
Now these government affairs, simple and tricky, he has all thrown them to her.
Thinking left and right, thinking hard, she used all the books she had read and all the TV series she had watched in modern times, and thought of borrowing grain from officials and gentry in "The Granary of the World", Lao Jiumen in "Notes on Tomb Robbery", and the captain of the Three Kingdoms period, and even thought of the land snake in "Crazy Boy" to collect protection money......
Finally, I will list these ideas on paper one by one:
1. Borrow grain from the officials and gentry, register and make a book, repay the principal and interest in the future, and provide assistance from Fahua Temple to pray for the blessings of those who do great good.
2. Temporarily restore the system of donating officials, and when the treasury is sufficient, select those who have both ability and political integrity to be promoted, and those who have no talent and no virtue will be dismissed.
3. Heavy taxes are levied on establishments such as green houses, brothels, gold stores, gambling houses, pawnshops, etc., and appropriate protection is taken as a measure of appeasement.
Fourth, the separation of agriculture and commerce, the encouragement of the development of traditional handicrafts, the assistance of new commerce, and the encouragement and assistance of them to wage war on the eastern flank/Mobei/Simon, and the imposition of heavy taxes on them according to their size and income.
5. Tomb robbing ......
In fact, she didn't think about the fifth one herself, but she thought that she was too tired in the middle of the night, and she fell asleep on the table as soon as she put down her pen.
In the second half of the night, Lu Jingheng opened his eyes, looked at Xia Qian, who was sleeping on several cases, and walked out of bed with a distressed face, and hugged her on the dragon collapse.
Looking at the response she wrote, he sighed lightly and said, "If there is another way, how can I be willing to let you work." Of these five strategies, the first four are still viable, but this fifth ...... Grave? Dead queen, do you want to steal the emperor's tomb of that family? ”
On the second day, when Xia Qian woke up, he found that Lu Jingheng had already gone to the court.
Yu Nuan walked in with a smile and said that the emperor proposed five solutions to the void of the treasury in the court today, and the courtiers praised it very much.
"Five?"
Xia Qian looked at Yu Nuan in surprise, and couldn't help but think of the strategy she wrote last night, and the fifth ...... It's killing yourself again.
"Yes, the emperor also told the Manchu ministers very proudly that you came up with it alone. The first three are just that, and the fourth is the separation of agriculture and commerce, and it is difficult for everyone to accept the encouragement of business, and the emperor patiently explained to them for a long time. It is said that the money in business comes quickly, and it is easy to earn money from the other three countries. Absolutely in the fifth, buy the grave! ”
"Buying a tomb?"
Seeing Xia Qian's blank face, Yu Nuan looked at her puzzled and asked, "What?" Isn't that what you thought of? In the imperial tomb, only those who worship the king and seal the marquis can enter the imperial tomb after death. Buying a tomb can allow officials above the fourth grade to be buried in the imperial mausoleum after death, in fact, many courtiers have thousands of acres of fertile land and a lot of silver silk, but they just refuse to take it out, these five strategies just trick them into taking out the silver! ”
Buying a tomb?
Xia Qian carefully tasted Yu Nuan's explanation, and couldn't help but admire Lu Jingheng again.
"He is indeed a material to be an emperor, without him, the country of Yi would not have survived this crisis!"
Yu Nuan looked at Xia Qian, who was distracted for a while, with a worried look on her face.
