"The county lord of Xinyang is showing his heart to the eldest brother, the eldest brother has to make a decision early, I hope she is not an entanglement, and I have to talk to my father and mother about this matter again." Su Juning said in a low voice.

Su Yuhui nodded, "Don't worry, I know the seriousness of this matter, and I'll ask the little guy to return this jade pendant later." ”

Regarding the matter of her brother, Su Junning, as a younger sister, naturally does not care too much, and it is just a matter of reminding her from the side, so when she saw that Su Yuhui knew what to expect, she didn't say anything more.

After Su Yuhui left with her things, Su Wanyin posted it, and the sisters held their hands.

"What, are you still happy to go today? I specially sent someone out to inquire, and the previous rumors about you and Xuanping Hou were all dispersed by themselves, but now when I ask, you and Shen Gongzi have a strong friendship. ”

The two sisters gossiped and walked back, and Su Junning smiled lightly.

"What are you talking about outside, Zuo is just joining in the fun, the good and the bad, it's gone for a while, but today I learned to ride a horse, and I got a good horse with a snow-white body, I named it Yinsu, you can go and see."

"Horses?" Su Wanyin's eyes lit up.

Immediately pulled her to turn around.

"Then go and see it now, I have only been in a carriage for a long time, and I have never ridden a horse, this horse was given to you by Shen Gongzi? Hey, when someone gave me a good horse and taught me to ride a horse, it's really eye-catching! ”

As he spoke, Su Wanyin's face showed a bit of yearning.

Su Junning smiled and gently touched her with her arm.

"It's not easy, you should also find a fiancé."

"Shame or not, where is the girl's family looking for a husband by herself." Not to be outdone, Su Wanyin also touched her.

The two sisters made a fuss and went to the place where the horses were kept.

Now Yinsu has just been picked up, and he is temporarily kept with the horse pulling the carriage, and when Ming'er finds a craftsman, he will make good arrangements.

The inside of the house is Ansheng for the time being, but the outside is not so good.

In the palace, there are a lot of people standing in the imperial study today.

The two Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, the important civil officials headed by Su Yi, as well as military generals like Shen He and Rong Guogong, as well as the four princes, were all there.

Emperor Jianning's expression was solemn.

"Yan Hu wolf's ambition, the western border has come back to the fold, it is impossible to negotiate peace at the moment, this battle must be fought, but not long after I ascended the throne, the original treasury was empty, and now it is not much richer, there is no shortage of strong soldiers and good generals, but this grain and grass, I am afraid that there is a shortage, what can you Aiqing do, can you solve this trouble for me."

When it comes to grain and grass and conquest, the two Shangshu of the household department and the military department are naturally the first to bear the brunt.

The two glanced at each other, and Tobe Shangshu stepped forward first.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and now that the war has started, there is a shortage of food and grass, and it is feasible to raise donations.

Emperor Jianning narrowed his eyes, and was not very satisfied with this proposal.

"Raising donations can naturally get a sum of money, but this donation is more and less, all of which are in his personal intentions, I am afraid that there are not enough donations again, and it is impossible to raise donations again and again, which will inevitably cause public resentment."

Seeing that this trick didn't work, the military department Shangshu stood up again.

"There is another way for the ministers, and the previous dynasty also had wartime treasury disservice, and when the military salary was insufficient, the policy of taxation in advance was practiced at that time, and this taxation was determined by the law, so it was more appropriate."

One of the sources of the treasury is the collection of taxes, which is indeed a lot of money.

This proposal was also what Emperor Jianning had thought of in his heart, so he nodded slightly.

"That's a good solution."

"Father." King Chen stood up at this moment.

Emperor Jianning followed the prestige, "Do you have something to say?" ”

"Back to my father, my sons have a little humble opinion."

King Chen bowed his head, and took a step forward, and said in a deep voice.

"Erchen thinks that early taxation is indeed a feasible strategy, but this early taxation will also bring trouble to many ordinary people's families, there are many poor people who have to rely on grain to collect transaction taxes, summer taxes are being collected, and now taxes are collected in advance, and autumn taxes are collected, I am afraid that many people will not be able to pay them, it is better to collect taxes in advance, the main business tax, and leniency for some farming people."

There are two taxes in a year, the summer tax is only June, and the autumn tax is only November, and the autumn tax is the main one.

Now in the middle of May, it is the time to pay the summer tax, and if the autumn tax is paid together, many people will definitely not be able to pay it.

After listening to King Chen, the faces of King Jin and the Seven Princes changed.

I didn't expect this to be on the top, and I was a little annoyed that King Chen took the lead.

After listening to King Chen's words, Emperor Jianning also pondered for a moment at this time, and then nodded.

"It's rare that you have the people in your heart and a benevolent heart, just do what you say, the official merchant family, tax in advance, the farming family doesn't have to, this matter has to be done quickly, just leave it to you to cooperate with the household department."

When he said this, Emperor Jianning inevitably felt a sense of regret and pain in his heart.

Speaking of which, King Chen's sister-in-law is indeed the best of all his sons, but it's a pity, it's a pity.

"The retainers obeyed." King Chen arched his hand and said, "It's just that the son's body is weak, and the tax matter is complicated, I'm afraid that the energy is insufficient, the son's minister sees that the seventh brother has been trained properly during this time, and the third brother can fight well and tend to the front line, so it is better to let the seventh brother and the son-in-law share the worries in the rear." ”

The fact that the king of Jin was good at leading troops to fight is well known.

Emperor Jianning was able to raise troops from Yanzhou, and he broke into Bianjing all the way to seize the throne, and the King of Jin made a lot of contributions, otherwise he would not have been in addition to the crown prince at the beginning, and the following is that he has a title as a prince.

However, now that King Chen is no longer the crown prince, seizing the heir has become a matter between the King of Jin and the Seven Princes, and the King of Jin is not willing to leave Bianjing easily no matter how good he can fight.

But King Chen's words seemed to have made the internal and external division of labor clear, King Jin went on an expedition, and the Seven Princes prepared for the rear with him in Bianjing, which was undoubtedly biased towards the Seven Princes.

It's understandable, after all, everyone knows now that the queen's party is close to the Seventh Prince, and it is obvious that King Chen has no hope of succeeding to the throne, so he has turned to support the Seventh Prince.

In this regard, Emperor Jianning turned a blind eye.

After all, the King of Jin is still lacking in being the crown prince for Emperor Jianning, and the four princes are the most hopeless, so the Seven Princes are now the chess pieces used by Emperor Jianning to experience the King of Jin.

Of course, if the Seventh Prince is really better than the King of Jin, then Emperor Jianning doesn't care about the Seventh Prince's biological mother being lowly.

So at this moment, when King Chen made such a request, Emperor Jianning made a gesture of cherishing King Chen, and agreed to it.

"It's okay, just let Lao Qi help you."

"Erchen obeys, Erchen will definitely assist the eldest brother and all the adults!" When the Seven Princes heard this, they immediately came out of the ranks.

Put on an open and obedient appearance.

The King of Jin next to him looked at them so pleasantly, and his eyes couldn't help but darken.

His eyes swept over the ministers present, Su Yi did not make eye contact with him, and in the end, it was Li Kunan, the Duke of Rongguo, who stood up.

"Your Majesty, there is already a solution to this grain and grass matter, I don't know who the emperor will send to lead the troops to the expedition in this war?"

Li Lingxi will soon pass through the door, and he will be the princess of Jin in the future, as his father-in-law, he will naturally try to help the king of Jin.
