"What can you do to quickly and effectively raise enough military money to support a war?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"Yun Xi is foolish, and it is bound to mobilize all the rich families. Most of the fields and the silver were in the hands of these people. If the tax revenue of the imperial court alone is not enough. What's more, looking at the account books of the household department during these days, I found that the taxes of the wealthy families were not collected on time, and some of them had not paid since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty by virtue of their merits. This part of the money is the lion's share, and it is no wonder that the treasury is so empty after several years of war. ”

glanced at Zhao Kuangyin's face, afraid that what he said would annoy him.

Zhao Kuangyin was also looking at her, and suddenly understood why Zhao Ting couldn't let her go so much.

"Hahaha......" laughed, "I didn't expect Yunxi to see the key point in just a few days." Rare! Sure enough, it's not an ordinary woman. ”

"It's just a woman's opinion, so much so that Your Majesty laughs at it."

"Nope! You're talking about something I'm anxious to solve. But no one in the central government dared to take charge of this matter, some were afraid of getting into trouble, and some were involved themselves, how could they dare to come out to accept others, and they had to send the fourth brother to come forward after thinking about it. ”

"Your Majesty really wants to let King Wei do this?"

His expression was solemn, "I also know that this is a thankless task, but only he has enough prestige and power to suppress these people, and he has no interests in them. It's just that in this way, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are afraid that they will offend Guangguang. ”

Yun Mo Xi was silent.

After a while, seeing that she didn't speak, "Do you also think it's inappropriate to let King Wei go?" ”

"Since Your Majesty has come here by night, presumably tonight's conversation is just private talk. If Yun Xi loses his words, he still hopes that His Majesty will atone for his sins. ”

"You're right, since I'm here, I naturally want you to speak freely, no matter what you say, don't blame! Besides, no matter what you say, only me and you know. ”

Originally, I came here tonight just to hear Yun Moxi's thoughts on marriage, and wanted to persuade her to give up or back down. There is also the matter of urging the Yun family's income to enter the treasury as soon as possible.

It's just that I didn't expect to have a very pleasant chat with her. Smart people can understand it at a glance, and she doesn't need to use both soft and hard coercion and inducement, she has already solved her own problems, so she is in a much more comfortable mood.

Usually the courtiers only dare to be submissive, and even if they oppose it, they dare not speak out. Yun Moxi's words were not only to the point, but also the problems he was most concerned about and eager to solve, as if he already knew everything.

This made him feel like he had met a confidant.

"If a courtier does this, it is bound to be a chore, thankless, and offending the whole court is not conducive to the future career. But if His Royal Highness King Wei went to do it, it would be an opportunity to practice. Those who govern the country are originally in strategizing and making overall arrangements. If you can't subdue the wealthy families, how can you talk about domination? ”

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were unclear, the candlelight flickered, and his face was cloudy, which made it difficult to distinguish.

She stood calmly, her eyes lowered.

After half a ring, Zhao Kuangyin turned his head to look at the wall, "Are you making all these calligraphy and paintings on the wall?" ”

"It's just a small trick."

"I see that it is very profound! It is not as profound as it is from a little woman like you. ”

"Your Majesty praised, Yun Xi really didn't dare to take it."

"Would you like to ask you to assist King Wei in collecting taxes?" The words turned and he suddenly asked.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei has saved Yun Xi's life several times, as long as His Royal Highness needs it, he will do his best to help." A firm answer.

"Good!" The look on his face became pleasant, and he glanced out the window, "It's late at night, and I should go back to the palace." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Kuangyin walked out first, Yun Moxi was sent to the gate of the mansion, and watched him get into the carriage and walk far before turning around and entering the mansion.

Walking back to the backyard, it was when the evening primrose bloomed, and the courtyard was full of fragrance.

Stopping and taking a closer look, it is refreshing but not calm.

"Master!" Yun Yueqi's voice behind him.

didn't look back, looked down at the evening primrose, "Got something to say?" ”

Yun Yueqi rarely speaks, even if he doesn't speak for a few days, Yun Moxi knows that as long as he turns around, he will always be able to see him.

"The subordinates are just ...... I think His Royal Highness King Wei is a person who can be trusted!" is not good at expressing emotional topics, and it took a long time to say this.

"That's right!" A faint nod of approval.

"Then why does the master just refuse to give King Wei a chance?"

"You still don't understand me?" Turning to look at him, "I'd rather be alone in this life than choose another emperor." It's enough to go through it once, I thought you should be able to understand. ”

"The subordinates understand. I just feel that watching His Royal Highness King Wei marry someone else, I am afraid that the master will be sad. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel distressed, how can I not know her thoughts, I just don't want her to regret missing happiness.

But he really didn't know whether he would be happy if he accepted Zhao Ting.

"Sad?" He smiled sadly, "It's better to be sad now than to be sad in the future." ”

"My subordinates feel that His Royal Highness King Wei is always a little different from the one in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the master ......"

"I've decided I don't need to persuade anymore."

"Yes! Subordinates are talkative. ”

"I don't blame you, you're doing it for my good. In fact, I'm just cowardly, and I've been bitten by a snake for ten years and I'm afraid of the well rope. I'd rather not try to increase my sorrow. He whispered and walked slowly to the backyard.

Yun Yueqi looked at her back and smiled bitterly and followed.

********

After a few days of morning upwards.

Zhao Kuangyin once again mentioned that he wanted to make up for the arrears of taxes since the founding of the country, and the courtiers below talked about it, and they all began to cry poor as usual.

This topic has been a cliché since the founding of the country, but the imperial court did not dare to take a strong posture, and these heroes did not take this matter seriously.

Zhao Kuangyin also has his own difficulties, even as an emperor, he has to rely on these courtiers.

What's more, most of them are heroes who have supported him for many years and finally ascended to the throne of God. The founding fathers, the generals who made great achievements, received rich canonization rewards, those are all military merits, who dares to move.

There are also some highly respected ministers, in the years of war, some of them have gone through several generations of monarchs and dynasties. The foundation has long been deep-rooted, and the relationship is also intertwined, involving the whole body.

As soon as these people took the lead, the other courtiers below also followed suit.

Even emperors can't be forced blindly, they always have to show some affection to each other.

Zhao Kuangyin sat on the dragon chair and frowned slightly, thinking that even if he dealt with it himself, he might not be able to deal with it well.

At the beginning, I was hesitant to let Ting'er do it, but when I thought of the words of the end of the day, I was ruthless.

Nodding, Da Fu stepped forward and read out the holy decree, asking the king of Wei to take charge of the collection of taxes, dispose of it with full authority, and act cheaply.

Now the courtiers at the bottom have no bottom in their hearts, seeing that the emperor wants to move seriously this time, not to mention letting King Wei come forward.

They all looked at each other.

King Wei is a man who leads troops, and he has always been iron-blooded, and he never pays attention to his affairs. The courtiers dared to complain to the emperor in the court and delay the payment of taxes for several years, but they did not dare to do so with the king of Wei.

Zhao Guangyi's face was expressionless, but he was gloating in his heart, this matter was good for him no matter what.

Zhao Ting is bound to offend the courtiers if he does it well, so he can take the opportunity to win the hearts of the people.

If it is not done well, then the emperor will naturally go to punish the crime, and in the eyes of the royal brother, there will be doubts about his ability.

In short, no matter what, this decree was the most comfortable and satisfying for him.
