Father Mu Ru went back to the Emperor of Ming and Yuan, saying that the concubine Xian had accepted the order, and it seemed that he would faithfully pay half a million taels of stolen silver.
Emperor Ming Yuan stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said exhaustedly: "You write down the seven hundred thousand taels of the prince princess, as the treasury owes her, and then ask people to pass the decree to the household, and wait for the money paid by the concubine and Su Dahe After that, it will be allocated to the Ministry of War immediately. Now it is late autumn, and winter is about to begin. Let the Ministry of War step up to customize winter clothes for soldiers. The court is not bad for hungry soldiers, but now there are more places to spend money. Only if there are some, we will dial some first. In the past, when taxes were paid at the end of the year, they would be returned to the princess. The two of them were so frugal, and the money would be of great use."
Grandpa Mu felt sorry for him and asked people to take ginseng tea, "Emperor, you don't have to worry about it. Taxes have been levied now, and the first batch can be shipped to Beijing by official ship at the end of the month."
How could Emperor Ming and Yuan not worry? This year, the floods in the south and the drought in the north have caused serious disasters. Many states and counties have reduced taxes and even required the court to allocate money for disaster relief.
Bei Tang looked like a delicate silk, but underneath it was covered with lice.
The Northern Tang Dynasty was once very prosperous. It was as famous as Daxing, Daliang, Dazhou, and Dayue. It has a vast territory, more arable land, few mountains, and rivers and rivers. It is said to have developed very well, but I don’t know how it got into his hands. In addition, the frontiers were not peaceful two years earlier, and fighting was the most expensive. After this tossing, the treasury was emptied in more than six years.
The emperor he was aggrieved, and the crime committed by Yisu Dahe would not be too much to kill him ten times, but in order to get some silver, he would rather leave him a dog.
There is also a concubine, he is already disgusted, but in the current situation in the country, the crown prince has just been established, and the crown prince cannot be disputed. Otherwise, the parties will be divided and compete again. Then who will act for the court? Who serves the people? All thinking about fighting for power.
The Emperor Ming Yuan recently fell off his hair in handfuls, but who really sympathizes with him
Why didn't he know that Yuan Qingling took out the seven hundred thousand taels, and the pain in his heart was so serious? I could see that her eyes were broken. As a father-in-law, he blackmailed his daughter-in-law and made her face shameless. What could be done? His fifth family is duty-bound. Sooner or later, this country will be handed over to him. If the country is safe and secure, the fifth family will not face his dilemma in the future.
The next day, under a decree, it was said that the prince had donated 700,000 taels of all his belongings to the sergeants to purchase winter coats and pay military salaries.
The soldiers return to their hearts. Of course, this is great for Yu Wenhao. Xu Yi went to Nanying and Xiying, and when he came back, he happily told Yuan Qingling that the soldiers were all happy and the military pay was delayed. It was not distributed in March.
Yuan Qingling was stunned for a long time when he heard Xu Yi's words, and asked Yu Wenhao, "Is it so difficult?"
Yu Wenhao smiled bitterly, "It's true. This year, digging a canal to divert water for irrigation, and then for drought relief, the national treasury will be empty early, and there is no way for the army to default. If the disaster relief is not provided, the victims cannot even afford rice bran, and it is imperative to dig a canal. Otherwise, the drought in the north will lead to loss of harvest again, and the people will not be able to survive, and the court will not survive either."
At that moment, Yuan Qingling forgave the Emperor Ming Yuan, and said softly: "In fact, it's difficult for the emperor."
Yu Wenhao said: "Difficult, why do you have to fight for the position of the prince? I have been thinking about it at first, but I have not put it into action until I know the difficulties. My father is now, and I am in the future, thinking about it, it’s a big deal."
In the middle of Beijing, there is no way to see how difficult the Northern Tang Dynasty is. The middle of Beijing is rich and prosperous, and it is a scene of peace and prosperity.
Therefore, Yuan Qingling didn't understand the current situation of the country at all before, and now she sees a leopard from these 700,000 taels, and for the first time she examines the problem as a future queen.
She wants to save leprosy patients and open a medical school. It is a trivial matter. The emperor is responsible for people's livelihood issues. The people have not eaten enough, and everything else is nonsense.
Yuan Qingling felt it was worth the money for the soldiers.
However, it would be difficult for the country to prosper if it only relied on farming to levy taxes. In the final analysis, the economy must be developed.
Therefore, when she talked to Yu Wenhao in the evening, she said: "Now we have a very good relationship with Dazhou Daxing. Taking advantage of this momentum, can we open up trade and vigorously promote the economy?"
Yu Wenhao said: "That's what I think. It's not the way to be so poor all the time. We must revitalize business."
He paused, and said: "The revitalization of business is not a slogan. Serious reforms require the right time, the right place and the right people. It can't be implemented in a short time. After all, they have to be submitted to the Prime Minister and Auxiliary Cabinet for discussion. It is not so easy to reach a consensus."
Yuan Qingling is now fully aware of the difficulties he and the emperor are facing, and cuddling with him, rubbing his fingers on the cocoon in his palm, "You can work harder, and you should work harder for the emperor. You don't need to worry about family affairs. I can handle it!"
Yu Wenhao bowed his head and kissed her, "You know everything I say, and your ideas always coincide with mine. We are really married and we have to stay together for a lifetime."
Suddenly so sensational, Yuan Qingling laughed, smiling and feeling very warm in her heart.
Su Dahe was taken by Jingzhao Mansion. The Su family collected five hundred thousand taels, bought back Su Dahe's life, and sent him to Qiongzhou.
Concubine Xian was not too anxious to get the silver, but when she saw that Su Dahe was arrested, she was immediately sentenced to distribute Qiongzhou. She was angry and afraid, so she hurriedly raised the silver.
What the Su family can get is all given to Su Da and buy life, and there is no money to pool for the concubine, the concubine can only ask for help from the queen mother, but there are many descendants of the queen mother, and Su Rili rewards this, rewards that, where What money can you save? Therefore, the Queen Mother couldn't help her, and she rebuked her and said that she had come out without permission regardless of the prohibition order.
Concubine Xian gritted her teeth and asked Xuan Yuanqing to enter the palace.
But the queen dowager had a plan long ago, saying that the concubine Xian could avoid any kind of greetings in the forbidden space. Therefore, Yuan Qingling embarrassedly said to the mother who passed the message: "The queen mother has an order, I can't go into the palace to see the mother concubine. , I’m not good at defying the decree, and I also ask the mother to tell it on her behalf."
The concubine Xian was so angry that she was so angry that she couldn't save her when she heard the mother's report. She clearly has more than one million taels on her hand. Why didn't she get it out for this palace? The fifth is also a dead person. , Everything is up to the daughter-in-law, the palace said, this Yuan Qingling must leave the fifth child, it is best to die."
The mother was sad, "Niang, the three-day period has passed, and Grandpa Mu Ru has been here today, do you think we should go to the bank..."
"Shut up!" Concubine Xian sternly scolded and paused. She said: "Yuan Qing Ling can't come, but if the fifth person can come in, if you pass the imperial doctor, you will say that my palace is sick, and ask the old 5 to come in and visit the palace ."
The mother said: "Niang, the imperial doctor will not lie for you if he is afraid. The imperial doctor didn't say that he was ill, I'm afraid that the prince would not be heard.
Concubine Xian said coldly: "You ordered people to go to Zhangluo Lengshui and take a cold bath in this palace. Is it difficult to live but not easy to get sick?"
