This means that the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate can actually be disbanded.

The old emperor could not be relieved openly, because she was absolutely unwilling to lose an inch of her own land.

Even if there was an inch of land on the map of the dynasty that drew its original borders, she would see it as a symbol of her own incompetence.

Even if it is classified as a dependent country, it will not work.

Not only that, but she also wants to expand the territory and expand the original territory to a larger extent.

It's a pity that the burden of the dynasty is too heavy. Because of the repeated chaos of foreign enemies, the annual military expenditure is too large.

Thinking about the treasury that was about to bottom out, when the old emperor put down the teacup and was about to push the wooden box of the tea set, he suddenly felt that he had neglected something.

Raise your hand and take out all the tea sets in the wooden box, and then remove the red silk at the bottom, and you can see ...... A thick handful of paper.

The old emperor pouted.

She said: That Di Huaijie, how can it be so simple to just send some vague meaning to let herself guess?

If there is no follow-up and ambush, is it still Di Huaijie?

The old emperor took out a piece of paper.

However, in order to prevent Di Huaijie from digging a hole for himself again, he turned his face sideways, squinted his eyes, and glanced at him.

Then, with a straight face, I grabbed the paper and stood up excitedly.

"Xiao Hongzi, quick, take all these gift lists and go to the East City Gate to ......"

As he spoke, he shut up again.

Sitting back in the chair, he was a little angry, and left the gift slip in the corner of the dragon case.

"Hmph" said: "Find the head of the household to deal with this." The hated Di Ying will not let me move all those dirty wealth into my own private treasury. ”

On the gift list, it's all treasures, it's all treasures. Even if it's not a treasure, it's a box of gold and silver.

Where did it come from?

Wu Zhenguo scraped and collected it wherever he went.

After Di Ying returned the people of Cangzhou and Fenzhou, he saw that there were many more, so he sent them all back to His Majesty.

After all, you can't give too much back.

For example: 100,000 taels. A common man could only return a maximum of 500 copper coins. The people of Cangzhou City were 180,000 people, and only then did they go out 90,000 taels. Combined with the silver taels spent on the purchase of grain and the return to the people, the total will not exceed 12 or 30,000 taels.

Excluding the people of Fenzhou, even the people of the two states built houses, built roads, etc., a total of more than 500,000 taels.

And Wu Zhenguo is only greedy for gold and silver, which is more than 4 million taels. Not to mention those antiques, calligraphy and paintings, ornaments and jewelry.

Di Ying simply waved his hand and sent all those to the household department, and asked the household department to exchange those for silver, so as to facilitate the construction of the country.

It is to give His Majesty a look and prevent the household from embezzling.

The old emperor was not angry about this, but angry......

Di Ying killed Wu Zhenguo, and if she killed, she didn't want to pursue it. But after killing, I have to tell her: kill right, kill well, kill well, this is from secretly poking and slapping her face to slapping her face openly.

The old emperor felt that Di Ying was bullying himself too much.

And the source of Wu Zhenguo's great wealth...... Sea private!

Originally, shipping was a huge profit, but Wu Zhenguo actually dared to smuggle goods in addition to earning clear tax profits from sea goods.

However, Di Ying wanted to tell her more than that.

The old emperor picked up the teapot, lifted the lid and looked inside, and saw a small model of a ship.

She took it out and showed it to Su Hong.

"This is Di Huaijie's real intention, right? He wants me to vigorously develop shipping, right? Look at what great wealth seaborne trade can bring to the dynasty, right? He's telling me to keep an eye on the property tax, right? ”

Su Hong raised his eyes to look at the model of the small boat, then hooked his head again, and replied softly: "The annual income of the tariff is currently one-seventh of the tax revenue of the national treasury. Wu Zhenguo served as the assassin in Cangzhou for six years, and the tariffs he embezzled alone exceeded the tax revenue of the national treasury for one year......"

The old emperor understood.

Obviously, tariffs are a huge piece of fat, and as long as they are properly controlled and open-minded, they can increase the revenue of the national treasury and make the lives of the people better.

"Where the hell is Di Ying?"

The old emperor reverted to the old question.

She felt that since Di Ying had this idea of expanding sea trade, it would be good to leave this matter to Di Ying to do.

But what about people? Where did it go?

Su Hong's hanging head shook gently. He didn't know either......

The old emperor suddenly laughed. Laughing forward and backward, uncontrollable.

After laughing, grinding teeth.

hatefully said: "Di Huaijie, that guy, this clearly means to be lazy." Hmph, he came up with the idea, but he didn't want to interfere, so he hid. This is for me to find the right people to handle it. Really......

This set of jade tea sets, clean them all and send them to Mrs. Di.

Also: Intended purpose. promoted Di Hui to the deputy general of Zuo Jin Wuwei, and Di Lei to the fourth rank of the Ministry of Industry, and let him hang a name and receive a fortune.

Mrs. Di and Di Ying's mother were Mrs. Peiguo and Mrs. Dingguo respectively. Di Yiying is now in charge of the county magistrate, right? He was promoted to the left waiter of the household department. ”

After a series of rewards, the old emperor gritted his teeth and smiled again.

With a wicked smile, he said: "Di Huaijie, demoted to the county order of Yangning County, Qianzhou." He likes to drill ravines, so let him grow in them completely. ”

After speaking, I sighed with emotion.

"I really can't let his official do too much. As soon as he ascends, someone from my martial arts family will die...... Can't he go against others? ”

Su Hong was silent, and he didn't blink his eyelids much.

He wanted to remind His Majesty: At present, Di Ying and the Anxi Protectorate have not done the errand, which will send people to Qianzhong Dao as the county commander...... Isn't it good?

But Su Hong still held back in the end.

He understood what His Majesty meant: Di Ying slaughtered Wu Zhenguo, and he must be punished. Otherwise, instead of being punished, everyone will have to follow the example, the Wu family......

Besides, His Majesty can't be slapped in the face by Di Ying in vain, he has to teach Di Ying a lesson. But in order to appease Di Ying's emotions and prevent her from having violent conflicts, he simply rewarded all the Di family.

Anyway, Mrs. Yipin, those should have been given a long time ago; Anyway, Di Yiying is also very promising, quite Di Ying's style; Anyway, Di Hui is also talented. Even Diret planted the fields well. It's all a reward that should have been given a long time ago. It's just that Di Ying herself has never asked for a seal.

Su Hong felt that His Majesty was really handy.

……

Di Ying, who received these news and was demoted to a county magistrate, also felt that His Majesty was really super smooth.

He put away the identity tokens of the prime minister and handed them to the herald, and then asked the other party: "How did you find me?" ”
