The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 648

[Chapter 648 Letter]

Li Jing took the order and left. A moment later, he saw a flurry of excitement.

After another moment, I saw that the front of the Yamen was empty.

Fang Xiu returned to the government office and looked at the documents. He felt inexplicably irritable. Thousands of things and words came to his mind.

At this time, he could no longer bear it, picked up his pen, and began to write furiously. Then, he called Li Jing: “Li Jing!”

“Sir!”

As soon as Li Jing heard the voice, he ran over. .

Fang Xiu handed him the letter he had just written and ordered: “This letter must be delivered to the palace, hurry up, do you hear me?”

“Yes, sir!”

Kyoto City, Imperial Palace.

It was another court meeting, and what was discussed was still the policy of unifying the land and the Ding.

The eunuchs were tired of hearing this, but the ministers kept chattering, and the focus of the debate was different every day. Even the eunuchs couldn’t help but admire them.

At least they can’t do this.

“Your Majesty, I believe that the policy of unifying the land and the Ding is a policy to stabilize the country. The only problem is that it is done too hastily.”

“What do you mean by doing it too hastily? Isn’t it enough to try it out in the Central Plains Road first? Do you need to find a village to implement it first? Back then, The policy of tea and horse trading was implemented directly in the southwest, and I didn’t see you jumping out to say anything. It was too hasty!”

“What do you mean by Master Zhang? We all serve the imperial court and are loyal to His Majesty, and we all think the same. “It’s for Jiangshan Sheji. What do you mean by scolding me for no reason?”

“Do you know what scolding is? You are a bitch. This is called scolding!”

“

You!”

It’s an insult to elegance, it’s an insult to elegance!”

Above the court, people were attacking each other like a vegetable market, and some people were even eager to take action.

“That’s enough!”

Emperor Chu slapped the dragon chair, stood up, looked at them, and said coldly: “Everyone is the pillar of the country, how unbecoming it is to make such noise!”

“I am guilty!”

The ministers were busy. bowed.

Emperor Chu looked at the Minister of Hubu and said: “Qiu Qing’s family is the Minister of Hubu and is in charge of the world’s money and food. If you have anything to do, let Qiu Qing’s family tell you first.”

As soon as he said this, everyone’s eyes were on him. body.

When the Minister of the Ministry of Finance heard what the Emperor of Chu said, he hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: “I have told your Majesty and all the gentlemen a few days ago about the pros and cons of the policy of unifying the land and the Ding.

What I want to say today is This is the implementation of Zhongyuan Dao.”

Hearing this, everyone cheered up.

No matter how fiercely they quarreled in the capital, no matter how harshly they scolded him, it would not be of much use. They could only put some pressure on His Majesty, but the final result was not certain.

After all, the two princes have made it clear that they will not participate in court discussions, but no matter what, it must be the sharp sword in His Majesty’s hand.

What this means is self-evident.

The Duke was also a gentry, but a relatively high-level gentry. The policy of unifying the land and the Ding had no less impact on them than others. However, their status and rights all depended on the emperor, so it was understandable to do so.

But other gentry could not.

Therefore, the implementation of Zhongyuan Tao plays a decisive role.

If the situation in Zhongyuan Road is in such a mess, then why does Your Majesty still implement this strategy?

With everyone thinking this, their eyes looking at the Minister of Household Affairs were full of hope.

The Minister of Household Affairs sighed secretly and said slowly: “I don’t know how many letters from the gentry I have received here. All the letters written are tragedies in the world. The policy of unifying land and Ding has just been implemented for a month, and the Central Plains Road is already in ruins.” Flying dogs jump.

Many people are worried about the changes in imperial orders and other additional taxes.

Needless to say, the gentry strongly resists this policy. To tell the truth, this policy is aimed at the gentry. Why don’t the gentry understand that

Linze is the leader of the Central Plains Dao Festival. It has been more than half a month, but the taxes of Zhongyuan Dao have been reduced by 30%. After the implementation of the policy of unifying the land and Ding, it is far less than before.” As soon as

these words came out, the whole hall suddenly seemed to explode.

Everyone was talking a lot, some looked sad, but more people were cheering.

At this time, someone stood up and said loudly: “You fart!

This policy of unifying land and villagers is implemented. No matter what, taxes are going to increase. Why are they going to decrease!”

When the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue heard this, he wanted to choke back. , but after a second thought, he endured it and said, “I don’t know, but it is true what the state governments submitted.”

“The prefects of the state governments must have tampered with the accounts!”

someone shouted.

When the other civil servants heard this, they were even more angry. “The decline means that the parents and officials in various places have tampered with it. What if it rises? Master Liu

‘s words are too ridiculous!” “If Master Qiu’s words cannot be believed, then above the court, Apart from Your Majesty, who else can we trust regarding money and food? Could it be that I believe you, Mr. Liu? If I remember correctly, Mr. Liu is the Empress of Wu Xun, right

? You don’t cherish the fields you own, so no wonder you are so cheering for bad policies like Di Ding He Yi!”

“”

Everyone started to criticize.

Emperor Chu was sitting on the dragon chair, feeling that his head was about to explode and his brows were furrowed tightly.

He believed in Qiu Qing’s family.

Although this person may be a bit upright sometimes, what he says is generally credible.

Since he said that taxes will go down, this is the case in all likelihood.

In this case, one of the major advantages of the unity of Di Ding is gone, so what is the point of implementation?

When Emperor Chu thought of this, he sighed silently, almost giving up and planning to recall Fang Xiu.

At this time, the eunuch Liu Cheng suddenly ignored the etiquette and came to the side of Emperor Chu. He whispered in his ear: “Your Majesty, there is a letter from Xin Anbo.”

“Oh?”

Emperor Chu heard this and said in a low voice. His eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: “Bring it to me to see!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Liu Cheng hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Emperor Chu.

The Emperor of Chu was above the court, reading letters when the court discussion was at its most intense.

The ministers were noisy and noisy, and suddenly remembered that His Majesty had not spoken for a long time. They all raised their eyes and saw this scene.

The emperor held the letter in his hand and was reading it word by word, from top to bottom, smiling from time to time.

When everyone saw this scene, they stopped arguing and stood back to their original positions.

One by one, they whispered, guessing what His Majesty was looking at.

After a while, Emperor Chu put down the letter in his hand, stood up from the dragon chair, walked to the Minister of Hubu, handed the letter to him, and said: “Qiu Qing’s family, please take a good look at it!”

The Minister of Hubu heard this After saying this, he was slightly startled, then reached out to take the letter and read it carefully.

As he watched, his expression changed. First he was puzzled, then suddenly enlightened, sometimes shocked, sometimes angry, sometimes pleased, sometimes frowning.

“Do you have any objection to the content of this letter from Qiu Qing’s family?”

“Your Majesty,”

Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, “I think that if what is said in this letter is true, then Di Ding will be united.” The plan is to continue trial implementation!”
