Since listening to Ji Chongdao's words, Ji Yangwen has been thinking about how to make money so that he can hold an ancestor worship ceremony for his father.

After all, it is obvious that this ancestor worship ceremony is related to his status in his father's heart.

If you work hard, it is not impossible to pull the prince off the horse directly.

Only, where do you get the money?

It is clear that cutting military spending will not work.

The whole court is opposed, even if he says the flowers, it is useless, it is a waste of words.

It's better to think of other options.

Looking at Shen Jiaojiao, Ji Yangwen had high hopes, "Fuyan, do you have any way?" ”

"That's right, Fuyan, you have an idea." After a series of previous events, Concubine Shu trusted Shen Jiaojiao very much, and seeing that Ji Yangwen really had no choice, she put all her expectations on Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Jiaojiao smiled faintly, "There is a way." ”

"Oh?" Ji Yangwen was overjoyed, "You say! ”

"Yes, yes, say it quickly." Concubine Shu also responded excitedly.

As long as this is done, her son will have a chance to become the crown prince, and he will have a chance to become the emperor in the future.

And she will become the emperor's mother.

With such a big benefit, how could they not be excited.

"It's definitely not going to work to cut military spending, but the army isn't a rich man in the first place, is it?"

Shen Jiaojiao's rhetorical question made Ji Yangwen ponder.

It's true that the big-headed soldiers actually don't have money, but they can't stand the crowd, everyone can get a little bit, isn't this enough?

But now that Ji Yangwu is blocking him, he can only think of another way.

"Then who do you say has the money?" Ji Yangwen looked at Shen Jiaojiao with a look of appreciation.

This woman is so smart.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't sell it, and directly broke the reality, "Those who are rich are either officials or businessmen." ”

"As long as you can give them what they want, they will take the initiative to give you the money."

Listening to Shen Jiaojiao's words, Ji Yangwen was a little disappointed.

That's it?

Who doesn't know that those who are in office and those who do business are rich?

But what can you do to get other people's money?

If an official wants to be promoted, can he still use his promotion as a raft to threaten and lure others to give him money?

As for the traders, that's the best group of people, they don't take money out of your pocket, it's already good, and they want to take their money in turn? There are no doors!

Unless the tax is raised directly.

But the tax can't be moved casually, even if it's the father, it is impossible to change the tax with a word.

Besides, even if he could, he wouldn't do it.

If he really raised taxes at will, the people wouldn't poke him in the back and scold him to death?

Seeing that Ji Yangwen didn't understand what he meant, Shen Jiaojiao reexplained, "The officials can't move for the time being, many of them are from the Hua family, and they won't cooperate with you even if they have money." ”

"But businessmen can."

"How can a businessman take the initiative to pay for the ancestor worship ceremony if he values profits so much?" Concubine Shu looked puzzled, and also felt that this method was unreliable.

Shen Jiaojiao smiled indifferently, "It's true that businessmen pay attention to profits, but they pay more attention to another thing. ”

"What?" Concubine Shu and Ji Yangwen asked in unison.

"Status."

What people desire most is always what they can't ask for.

A rich man can never be satisfied with just the fine clothes, jade food, mountains and seas at his fingertips.

What's more important is the status they can't ask for.

Shinong, businessmen, and businessmen have always been suppressed at the bottom, how can they be willing?

If there is a chance to have a good time, I believe that rich businessmen will not refuse.

Hearing Shen Jiaojiao's words, Ji Yangwen was stunned, he had never thought about this problem.

Concubine Shu also felt fresh, "Then how do you think you should raise money?" ”

"Isn't there a lot of people watching the ancestor worship ceremony? Then the front row of the onlooker seat is specially demarcated, called the aristocratic seat or the VIP seat, anyway, just give it a nice name. ”

"These seats are reserved for those who pay for them. Whoever pays can stand in front. Whoever pays more will be able to choose the best viewing position. ”

"This ......" Ji Yangwen was shocked, "There is still this kind of operation?" ”

"But, is that okay?" Concubine Shu was stunned, she didn't know if it worked, she could only look at her son, "Is it useful?" ”

Ji Yangwen thought about the shock in his heart for a long time, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes, "Yes, really can!" ”

"No, never!"

When Ji Yangwen brought Shen Jiaojiao's idea to the court, it ushered in the unanimous opposition of the courtiers.

"The ancestor worship ceremony is a national event, how can it be such a child's play? This is disrespectful to the ancestors! I hope that the second prince will take back his fate. Hua Zaimian was the first to stand up and oppose Ji Yangwen's opinion.

Immediately, almost all the ministers stood up and agreed, "Prime Minister Hua is right! ”

"It's really disrespectful."

"Nonsense, just nonsense!"

"This is a matter of honoring the ancestors, how can it be so casual? This is disrespectful! ”

Faced with the strong opposition of hundreds of officials in the imperial court, Ji Yangwen was not surprised.

This is all to be expected.

On the one hand, this method is really child's play.

On the other hand, he also knew that in order to find fault with him, no matter what opinion he put forward, Hua Zaimian would oppose it.

"Disrespectful?" Ji Yangwen looked at the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "But this palace remembers that you all agreed to hold a ceremony to worship ancestors before." ”

"Since it is disrespectful to try your best to hold the ancestor worship ceremony, then what is the simple ancestor worship ceremony?"

"Is it a fool of the ancestors?"

Ji Yangwen took the words of the previous hundred officials, and the civil and military officials who were blocked couldn't open their mouths.

Indeed, they all felt that this ancestor worship ceremony was not important before, and when they asked for simplicity, they did not consider the issue of respect at all.

Now that he suddenly uses respect to stop Ji Yangwen from raising money, it is indeed a little unreasonable.

"It's not a shame to let the people spend money to buy seats?!" Suddenly, in the silent court, Ji Yangwu's voice sounded.

He was big and loud like a bell, and his words immediately attracted the attention of the officials.

Immediately, an official chimed in, "That is, this ancestor worship ceremony is originally to show the royal prestige to the people, how can you collect money from the people?" ”

"It's a shame."

"How will the people poke us in the back?"

"Others still think that we are crazy to be poor."

"Brother Eight is right." Ji Yangwen looked at Ji Yangwu and agreed with him, "This palace doesn't want to do this either, it would be good if the Eighth Emperor Brother was willing to agree to reduce military spending." ”

Seeing that Ji Yangwen turned things back to military spending, Ji Yangwu showed a vigilant look.

Sure enough, what is the sales position is complete nonsense.

His most critical purpose is to cut military spending!

Thinking of this, Ji Yangwu resolutely refused, "Military spending must not be reduced!" ”

"But the ancestor worship ceremony is to show the royal majesty to the people, how can it be scribbled? Isn't this a joke for the people? Ji Yangwen kicked back the doubts of the officials just now.

By the way, "It's just a front-row position, but it doesn't delay ordinary people to watch the ceremony." ”

Attacking the shield with his spear, Ji Yangwen's operation made the civil and military officials speechless.

Ji Yangwu opened his mouth wide, couldn't say a word for a long time, and his eyes looked at Ji Yangchuan unconsciously, looking forward to his statement.

Being stared at by Ji Yangwu, Ji Yangchuan knew that he had no way to continue to be silent, so he could only nod and look at Ji Yangwen, "What the second prince said is right, then let's do what the second prince wants." ”
