Chapter 168 (Two old men compete...)

uty that even if she slaps someone with a straight face, the person who is slapped will have to worry about whether her hand will hurt.in the eyes of Emperor Jingshun, his daughter is like a fairy fru...Huayang entered the palace in late winter, coinciding with the busy period when officials from various ministries of the imperial court summed up their achievements this year.

the harem cannot interfere in politics, which means that Huayang cannot take the initiative to inquire about political affairs with his brother, let alone intervene, but if Emperor Yuanyou himself wants to talk to his sister about this, Huayang can certainly listen.

this evening, after Niang San had eaten, Emperor Yuanyou took his sister to the imperial study, took out a fold and handed it to his sister.

Huayang sat comfortably on the warm couch near the window, holding a delicate hand-warming stove inlaid with various precious stones in his hands, looked at the fold in front of him, and then looked at his brother with little interest: "what kind of fold can you show me" You're not afraid of reproach from your mother. I don't want to hear it yet. "

Emperor Yuanyou said with a smile, "after seeing something that makes people happy, Cao Li is watching outside. As long as my sister doesn't say, how can the mother know"

Huayang snorted: "this is what you begged me to see. Don't blame me in the future."

Yuanyou Emperor: "I know, sister, take a look!"

Huayang then changed to holding the stove in one hand and opening the fold in the other.

she browsed carelessly and looked at her face with a smile: "9 million hectares of land" I remember too. / Grandpa, it seemed that it was only over 8 million ha at that time, didn't he "

all over the world, there is no such thing as the king's land. Huayang is the royal princess. She certainly wants to be happy when she has more land at home.

Emperor Yuanyou's face was full of smiles and his eyes were bright: "Yes, this time the abbot was very successful. He sent Jin Yiwei out, abandoned a Jin king, copied more than a dozen rich families that took the lead in causing trouble, and honestly cooperated with his relatives everywhere, and the powerful officials and gentry no longer dared to hide it. Maybe there were still some fish out of the net, but they didn't think much."

Huayang looked at the fold with delight and suddenly asked, "how many fields were registered last year"

Emperor Yuanyou immediately gritted his teeth: "it's only 4.7 million hectares."

Huayang gritted his teeth and said, "they are really greedy after hiding nearly half of the land."

Emperor Yuanyou showed some ruthlessness: "it won't be long before greed. Tomorrow the cabinet will submit a new tax proposal."

Huayang: "has the cabinet unified its political views" I heard the horse say that Chen GE and he GE often quarreled at the court meeting. "

when Emperor Yuanyou mentioned this, Emperor Yuanyou pinched his forehead: "it is estimated that we will have to quarrel again tomorrow. Five members of the cabinet, Lu GE, Lu GE, and Shen GE all listened to Chen GE's old man. Old he GE threatened that he had prepared a set of new policies himself, and asked me and my mother to judge him tomorrow to see whether his new policy would work or whether Chen GE's old one would work."

Huayang lamented, "it's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes. Speaking of it, I knew Chen GE was old when I was six or seven years old. Apart from seeing him with a bad face with a horse, I don't seem to have seen him blush and argue with others for more than a decade."

Emperor Yuanyou: "this is simple. My sister will listen to the government with us tomorrow."

Huayang raised her chin out of the window: "can the mother agree"

Emperor Yuanyou: "it doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as they quarrel, none of us can get a word in."

the next day was Winter Moon 29. When Emperor Yuanyou was going to the imperial meeting, Huayang was always by his mother's side.

when Emperor Yuanyou wanted to listen to the cabinet, the Empress Dowager Qi also had to go there.

Huayang clasped her mother's arm in a coquettish manner: "Mother Queen, I heard my brother say that Chen GE and he GE are going to quarrel again today. I also want to see the hustle and bustle."

the Empress Dowager Qi said solemnly, "how can we play with the major events of the imperial court"

Huayang: "just this once, you and your brother will beg me to sit in, but I won't come."

Empress Dowager Qi: "No."

Huayang blinked and bowed his head: "if my father were here, he would certainly follow me."

Empress Dowager Qi

is a good start for the late Emperor!

"forget it, I'm leaving, and I'll never come into the palace again to embarrass you." Huayang let go of her mother's hand, saluted politely, turned around and left.

Empress Dowager Qi's lips.

as her daughter walked farther and farther away, she was about to step out the door, and Princess Nankang smiled and flattered her face.

one was born of the former emperor and other women, and the other was her own daughter. Of course, the Empress Dowager Qi loved her even more.

if Nankang doesn't come, she knows that her daughter is doing well outside the palace, and she really won't miss it too much, but every time Nankang comes, the Empress Dowager Qi can't help thinking of Huayang. If she really has such free time, she would rather chat with her daughter.

"all right, this time, it won't happen again."

Huayang just poked one foot out of the door. When she heard her mother speak, she immediately ran back and hugged her mother and sprinkled Jiao for a long time.

but Huayang is, after all, too big to sit in the arms of the late emperor or hide under a desk as he did when he was a child. The Empress Dowager Qi pointed to the side of the listening hall.

Huayang hid behind the curtain and watched the five elders of the cabinet step forward and backward, with my father and he GE standing in front, and the other three standing in the back row with their eyes down.

after the salute, Chen Tingjian presented the notes in his hand to Emperor Yuanyou.

Emperor Yuanyou did not answer and said, "Sir, read it again. I will listen to it with my mother."

Chen Tingjian nodded, played sparsely in his hands, lowered his eyes slightly, and began to read in cadence.

the 55-year-old Shoufu adult is thin and slender, dressed in a crimson robe, handsome and elegant, and has a clear voice. If he stops there, he will at least outdo the other four in appearance and demeanor.

looking at such a father-in-law, Huayang remembered the young and old cabinet she had seen when she accompanied her brother to classes when she was a child.

at that time, Huayang liked Chen GE very much. The younger generation admired his elders and hoped that he could be a husband for himself.

the Chen family has five children, and the Dalang brothers are in awe of their father. Wan Yi has always liked it very much.

Huayang understands Wanyi especially, because these girls have only experienced the gentle side of their father-in-law.

as for the new policy dictated by the male father at this time, it was a whip law implemented in the three years of Yuanyou in the previous life, which combined the various land taxes and corvee imposed on the people into a single levy. The unification of taxation and corvee, which is directly handled by local governments, can not only prevent officials at all levels from exploiting the people under the pretext of ingenuity, but also put an end to the disadvantages of Li Zheng and grain chiefs eroding the distribution of funds.

this new policy was advocated by the father, but unfortunately his father died of illness in August of that year, and he did not see the effect of the new law-the surplus of the national treasury in the third year of Yuanyou was as high as 4.002 million silver!

in spite of this, because the father-in-law was convicted, all the new policies implemented by the father-in-law were abolished.

Huayang looked at his younger brother bitterly.

Emperor Yuanyou was listening carefully and nodded from time to time.

however, as soon as Chen Tingjian's voice fell, he Qingxian, standing beside him with his head held high, suddenly uttered an undisguised mockery.

Chen Tingjian picked Mei Feng.

the last three cabinet elders looked at each other and continued to pretend to be dumb.

Emperor Yuanyou looked at he Qingxian: "what is wrong with his husband's tax reform"

he Qingxian: "it's not that there's something wrong, it's totally inappropriate!"

Emperor Yuanyou got used to it a long time ago and said with a smile, "Please give me some advice from the old man in the cabinet."

he Qingxian turned to Chen Tingjian and asked him, "this year's abbot has uncovered more than 4 million hectares of hidden land, but the bulk of this part of the land is still in the hands of the patriarchal clan and the official gentry. All the land of the patriarchal relatives are exempt from tax, and the officials and gentry also have a large amount of exemption, but it is tantamount to raising taxes on the land hidden by the landlords and powerful landlords.". The promotion of he Qingxian might hinder the implementation of the reform. Why should he be used now"Empress Dowager Qi also looked at Chen Tingjian.Chen Tingjian looked at the mother and son respe...
