Empress work daily

Chapter 64

Who doesn't understand the truth that the gains outweigh the losses?It's just that it's about the six cities in the west, so it needs to be carefully considered.

"I don't know what good strategy Qin Guogong has?" Tang Chongjian cupped his hands and faced each other with a respectful attitude.

Qin Guogong seemed to come prepared and put forward a proposal to encourage the people in the western region to reclaim wasteland. Those who reclaim the fields will be the owners of the fields, and they will be exempted from tax for three years.

Tang Chongjian: "..."

The closure of the market has already resulted in a halving of tax revenue, and tax exemption for land reclamation.
As soon as this proposal came out, it immediately received the support of Song Guogong.The two princes who met a few days ago and didn't even say hello are now very close, which further proves that in the past, the two were acting in front of Princess Wei, one singing the bad face and the other the red face.

The opera singing was so wonderful that even the princess of Wei State who claimed to be martial and wise was deceived.

Although these things are already in the past, mentioning them again now still makes people feel a lot of emotion.

"Your Majesty, after a catastrophe and a great change, you must rest with the people. If the people can't calm down, there will be endless troubles." After Song Guogong finished speaking, he asked Ji Qiang to think twice.

The hall fell into a silence, and everyone was weighing it.

After a while, Yin Qilei was the first to stand up and support it. If the western region had to close the market, even if Qin Guogong’s method was not brilliant, it would at least guarantee the basic life of the people. farming.

After figuring this out, many people thought it was feasible, and they all agreed one after another.

"Opening up wasteland is easy to say, but hard to do, you know? My western frontier has a lot of people and little land, and there is very little land suitable for farming. Yes, the imperial court encourages the reclamation of wasteland, and those who are capable will work harder. It’s a good thing for the common people. But, encouragement costs money, right? You need to buy farming tools? You need to dig wells for irrigation? Where does the money come from?”

Everyone was dumbfounded by Tang Chongjian's question.

Then, he analyzed: "The common people can eat enough by dumping goods, why bother to open up wasteland? Closing the market rashly will only cause smuggling and increase the burden on the border guards."

After Tang Chongjian finished speaking, he also asked Ji Qiang to think twice.

Yin Qilei sneered after listening to this theory, "Tang Shangshu opened his mouth for money, but closed his mouth for burdens, and exaggerated the risks with this, which is very absurd. Since ancient times, people have regarded food as their heaven, and if they want to eat, they have to farm. Although opening up wasteland is bitter, the result is sweet. People in the world, who doesn't want to own a piece of land? What's more, the three-year tax exemption has greatly reduced their burden. As for the prevalence of smuggling in the mouth of Mr. Tang, it is even more impossible. Everyone is busy opening up wasteland and farming. Kung fu smuggling?"

Tang Chongjian was ridiculed and attacked by Yin Qilei, and his teeth were secretly gritted. The more he looked at him, the more he looked like a crap stick.

The anger in Ji Qiang's heart had dissipated long ago, seeing the two old men, Tang and Yin, blowing their beards and staring at each other, a trace of helplessness was added to the calmness.

So, she threw out a final sentence, "I remember, there are still 50 taels of silver deposited with Tang Qing."

All the ministers: "..."

When did it happen, why is there no news at all?
Tang Chongjian himself was also confused. He had never heard of anyone who owed him money, but anyone who owed him money.

"The 50 taels of canal repairing will be used to open up wasteland for now, and when there is a harvest over there, I will take it back and use it to repair the canal." Ji Qiang said with a relaxed face, thinking of what Youhun had seen and heard in farming for three years , and said: "As for the barren and uneven land in the western region, I think it should be adjusted according to local conditions. If the crops are not good, then plant trees, forests, raise livestock, land, what you plant will grow. For example, Beirong, She is good at herding horses and sheep, and the soil grows grass. Another example is Wu Yue, who likes to raise bugs, and the soil grows bugs."

Tang Chongjian had nothing to say, especially Ji Qiang's last sentence about Wu Yue, which made him feel chills.

Wu Yue is still a witch, and witchcraft prevails from top to bottom. He thinks that the good land is used to grow bugs, which is the source of Wu Yue's smog.

The matter of closing the market in the Western Territory has been decided in this way, and the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials will formulate detailed rules next, and then issue them to the local governments for implementation.

When the matter was revealed, Yin Qilei immediately made a statement, talking about the refugee in Haojing.

Yin Qilei said that after several days of hard work by the imperial court, the refugees who entered Beijing no longer lack food and clothing, and the Ministry of Industry has also begun to build adobe houses that can provide shelter from the wind and cold.

After talking about the status quo, let’s talk about the problem. There are three problems:

One, which turtle grandson took the lead in donating steamed buns?Do you know that Sheng Mien fights Mi Qiu?

Second, as long as people eat and drink enough, they will make troubles. These refugees will eventually return to their original places, but there is a famine in their original places.

Third, the disaster relief funds and food will be distributed in autumn. Why is the disaster situation in Yongzhou still so serious?

Yin Qilei offended several families with a single word, but he openly scolded them as grandsons in court for doing good deeds with good intentions. Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't bear it!

Immediately someone said: "Isn't the eldest lady of the Yin family taking the lead in Shi Doumi?" To be a grandson?

Yin Qilei refuted, "Steamed buns are not something that protects against the cold and is a necessity for life."

Immediately, someone said that he was unreasonable and distorted the facts. Yin Qilei refuted again, "The porridge in Jingzhao Yamen can save your life, why do you have to use steamed buns? One steamed bun can exchange several bowls of porridge in Jingzhao Yamen, don't you know?"

What happened to the porridge in Jingzhao Yamen?

Everyone had this question at the same time.

Jing Zhaoyin Qishang, who was standing in the middle row of civil servants, pursed his lips. He had expected such a day.

Don't worry, he is still aggrieved and has nowhere to reason!

Ji Qiang asked, "What's wrong with the porridge cooked in the Jingzhao Yamen?"

Qin Shima saw no one to take over, so he came out and said: "According to the refugees, there is a bowl of porridge and half a bowl of sand."

"Jing Zhaoyin."

Ji Qiang called Qi Chang to him, and seeing that there was no shame on his face, he couldn't help being surprised.

"Is what Qin Shaoqing said true or false?" she asked.

"Your Majesty, what you said is true." Qi Chang replied.

Ji Qiang: "Why?"

Qi Chang: "Because there is no food."

"Nonsense!" Tang Chongjian and Yin Qilei said in unison, and they looked at each other. Tang Chongjian said: "Half a month ago, the treasury allocated five thousand stones to the Jingzhao Yamen. In just half a month, how could you have no food?"

"Master Tang's words are true. However, food and rice are getting less and less, and there are more and more refugees. No one dares to use it for special purposes. I think His Majesty and all the adults can understand this point." Qi opened his head and said the truth.

Yin Qilei shouted, "Even so, it's not a reason for you to add sand to the porridge! If you lack food, you can make the porridge thinner and add sand to it. Hmph, this is not treating the common people as human beings!"

Qi Chang applauded, "That's good! That's great! You should have told the official half a month ago. If you had told me earlier, the official wouldn't be so ridiculous. He knew it couldn't be done, but for..."

Yin Qilei: "Are you accusing me of not acting early? Even so, it's not an excuse for you to add sand to the porridge!"

Filled with righteous indignation, he emphasized it again, and then said: "I really want Mr. Qi to taste, what is the taste of porridge mixed with sand..."

Yin Qilei wished he could conjure up a bowl of porridge on the spot and teach Qi Chang a lesson.

Ji Qiang: "Serve the porridge."
