The border passes of Nanling Kingdom are mainly in the north and east, and the west is difficult for foreigners to fight because of the dangerous mountain roads, and the south has not been closed to the sea before. For the sea ban that was just opened, now he regrets dying, he shouldn't have listened to Xiao Chengye's words in the first place, and now the pirates are doing more evil.
In the east, General Fan is indeed a capable man, and the emperor also wants him to come back, but it will be at least two or three months to come back and forth, which will delay the spring and autumn farming.
"Imperial Doctor Fan, do you know that someone has ginseng for you?"
"Dare to ask the emperor, what is the daughter of the courtier?"
"Have you suppressed your aunt and sister?"
"Does the emperor know that I sued my mother?" Fan Ruoxi glanced at the emperor, and then said, "Your Majesty, if I suppressed my sister, then I didn't sue my mother, this is a big disrespect!" ”
King Ning said, "Imperial Doctor Fan, you also know that this is a great disrespect? ”
"King Ning, the courtiers sued the eldest lady Liang, but there is evidence, and the Liang family also confessed, how did she treat the courtiers back then, one by one, each of them caused harm to the courtiers, and the courtiers were so young, just let the poisonous snake bite the courtiers, the courtiers were lucky, otherwise they would have lost their lives at that time, whether it is human favor or the law, I will take advantage, King Ning, if someone kills your mother, how will you treat the enemy who killed your mother?"
King Ning chuckled in his heart, he was the emperor's cousin, and his mother concubine had also entered the palace to choose a show girl, and the queen mother and Concubine Jiang were both influential figures.
"You are presumptuous, do you know that your father has not paid the grain tax this year!"
"According to the law of Nanling Kingdom, all prefectures and counties pay grain taxes every year, and the total amount is not less than 30% of the harvest, right?"
Fan Ruoxi felt that the emperor's gaze was looking at another person, and Jiang Bingsheng, the head of the household, replied, "Imperial Doctor Fan is erudite and talented!" ”
Fan Ruoxi's face was still red and ugly, but this time she sneered blatantly, "The guard stores grain for self-use, but eighty percent of the people are working, and they basically don't have to fight, and they don't need to train soldiers, the main time is in labor, if there is really a big war, you can call them, but the border pass is different, it is the border pass of the country, King Ning, my father can't use a group of people who farm the land every day to fight, if one day, the enemy country really attacks, can those who farm the land hold the border?" ”
"......" King Ning didn't expect this little girl to be quite powerful.
Fan Ruoxi continued, "Hubu Shangshu, my father's grain tax is insufficient, but what about the silver tax? My father told me that when the farming was busy, those soldiers were mainly farming, but most of the time they were still practicing, and there was also hunting, but the imperial court allocated a limited amount of money every year, only 50,000 taels, and although the Fan family army did not have enough money, could they hand over other treasures of the mountains? These things far exceed the silver tax, Lord Jiang, the head of the household department, is the extra really not enough to make up for the grain tax? ”
Jiang Bingsheng didn't expect this girl to be so powerful, he stammered a little, thought about it for a while, or the emperor is the greatest, "Back to the emperor, King Ning is in charge of the guard, and all non-cash income cannot be registered!" ”
The sound of several people inhaling was heard in the air!
The squire of the military department said: "Your Majesty, if everyone knew about this, why did they hand over those materials?" Those things are kept and sold for money, the soldiers eat better, and keep the silver money to buy good clothes for the children to wear, and they are not registered, King Ning, if you think those things are worthless, you can refuse to accept them! ”
The emperor glanced at King Ning and didn't make a sound, when he took the throne, King Ning also made a lot of efforts, and turned a blind eye to what he did, but he didn't expect that he would move the most important military tax.
