Chapter 887

Hearing the official's tax report, the crown prince couldn't help frowning: "How do the people below do things?! What's the point of such a tax amount? I've put in so much effort, and the co-author is to make wedding dresses for others... ..."

"...cough, cough, cough," Yu Shiqing coughed repeatedly, interrupting the prince's next complaints, and several other officials also showed embarrassment, wishing to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.

What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say? How could this be what the Prince Chu said?He is the prince, the future master of this world.How can the taxation of the imperial court be used to make wedding dresses for others?
Besides, when did your highness put all your effort into it?

Yu Shiqing lamented repeatedly in his heart, after these years, the crown prince is becoming more and more useless.Those of them who follow the prince to seek a future, feel that the future is bleak and almost hopeless.

Originally, King Fu was watching the position of the crown prince.And Fu Wang does have this strength. He has been diligent in government affairs these years, managed the Ministry of Industry in an orderly manner, and showed his vigor in state affairs and political affairs.

He didn't dare to say that King Fu would not embezzle all kinds of money from the court, but he could guarantee that King Fu would never be like the prince, amassing money like a madman.

In the past two years, His Royal Highness King Yu stepped into the court.In his opinion, King Yu is more threatening to the crown prince than King Fu.King Yu seemed to be careless about everything, but the errands he took over were impeccable.

At the beginning of the year, it finally broke out that the wooden track had a major quality omission.But his life is good, relying on the two stacks of construction documents presented by Miss Ye, he insisted on turning the bad into the good, and the construction of Guangsha was praised by the emperor.

The most important thing is that King Yu's hands and feet are clean.He has been wandering outside for a few years, but it's not that he is wandering around and not doing business, earning enough property for himself.

In recent years, thanks to the assistance of An Guogong's granddaughter, he has earned a lot of money, and there is no need to stretch out his hands to collect money in court affairs.From this point of view, King Yu is the wise and clear king reserve.

Yu Shiqing swallowed his stomach full of soreness, and explained to the prince: "Your Highness, Yuanzhou and several surrounding states and counties have experienced a severe drought this year. From the end of last year until now, there has been no rain, and farming and commerce are extremely sluggish. Not only did the merchants in the past not If we go any further there, even the local business will not be able to sustain. Not to mention the land tax, it is estimated that there will be no harvest at all this year, and even the court will have to provide relief for the disaster.”

The crown prince felt disturbed when he heard this. Yuanzhou and its surrounding area are well-developed in commerce and trade, and it is an area with a lot of tax revenue, and it is easier to save tax money.Letting Yu Shiqing say this, wouldn't several of his plans for this year have to be shelved?

He stood up irritably, this place, no matter what time it is, is full of troublesome things that can't be dealt with, he simply doesn't want to stay for a moment.

"Let the officials carefully check the situation in various places. The imperial court tax is indispensable. Gu also needs to use money in the near future, and raise 2 taels of silver for Gu as soon as possible, for urgent use."

Yu Shiqing immediately grimaced, not to mention the bad times, even when the times are good, 2 taels of silver is still a big amount, where will he plan for the prince?

The prince has tasted the sweetness of the railroad project the year before last, are you used to such big gains?
He got up quickly, and sighed to the prince, "Your Highness, it's not that I didn't do my best, it's that the situation this year is not good. Your 2 taels of silver..." He really couldn't go on, even if he changed, he had to have something Place a huge amount of 2 taels of silver somewhere.

The prince frowned and looked at Yu Shiqing for a long time.How can it be of great use if such a little thing can't be done well?Fortunately, he still wants to join the cabinet in the future. If such a person is given a high position, how much can he do?
Yu Shiqing saw that the prince's expression was not good, but he had no other choice.He knew that, according to common sense, this person would inherit the great power in the future, not to mention his wealth and life, at least his official career.

But for the prince's recent request to raise 2 taels of silver, he really can't do it, even if the knife rests on his neck, he can't get so much silver.

"Your Highness, the situation in various places this year is indeed not good. Can you use less or delay it?"

The crown prince frowned and stared at Yu Shiqing. It took him a long time to flick his sleeves and say: "Then 8000 taels. Raise it as soon as possible."

Shaking his beard, Yu Shiqing stretched out his hand towards the prince's back, and finally fell down powerlessly. 8000 taels of silver is not a small sum, where would he raise money at this time.

The crown prince came out of the household department and looked in the direction of the Ministry of Education, thinking about those old men and the boring officials and clerks who came and went in and out of the courtyard, and then thinking about the pair of jaspers who did not know where they were located. Bracelet, I'm really not in the mood to socialize with some bad old men.

The prince turned around resolutely, and went back to the prince's mansion with the servants behind him.

Although there are no newcomers in the Prince's Mansion recently, a new fashion of makeup has become popular in the capital recently. Many concubines in the Prince's Mansion have learned that makeup look, which is indeed very interesting and fresh.

Among them, Ya'er is the most charmingly dressed.Ya'er has been in the mansion for more than a year, and he has never discovered that there is such a lovely person in the mansion who is cherished by others. He really wants to have a good appearance and a good figure.

In vain, he claimed to be the master of flowers, and he boasted that he had the most unique eyes on women, but he missed it and wasted more than a year of leisure time.Compared with Ya'er, many of the women he was addicted to before were all vulgar fans.

After entering the prince's mansion, the prince is not in a hurry.Slowly savoring the exciting feeling of seeing the beauty in his heart, while walking, he searched for another yard for Ya'er to live in.According to Ya'er, the place where she lives now is really not worthy of her.

He also only found out after asking yesterday that that lovely person lived in the same yard with many other women, and the place was also remote.

This can't be done, and he can't be wronged by his beauty.

When he was about to reach the second gate, Shi Tan Weixian, the head of the prince's mansion, and two servants greeted him. He was about to speak, but the prince waved his hand, and he waved back with his followers.There was only one clever little eunuch left, who followed him to the inner courtyard.

Although the halls and pavilions in the Prince's Mansion are not as grand and solemn as the palace, they were built with thought.Flying eaves and green tiles, jade masonry and carved railings, and corridors with unadorned waists, although lacking some imperial atmosphere, they are exquisite and beautiful.

"Where does Miss Ya'er live? Gu didn't remember very well yesterday." The prince asked the little eunuch beside him as he walked towards the direction of his vague impression.

The little eunuch bowed his body, followed the prince's footsteps in small steps, and replied: "Go back to Your Highness, it is in this direction, pass the corridor and go down a certain distance to arrive."

The prince glanced around, how did these managers arrange the beauties?His concubine Ji, whether he valued it or not, shouldn't live in such a remote place.

Following the direction pointed by the little eunuch, he passed the corridor and walked downhill for a while, the prince seemed to hear the sound of strings and bamboo.Indistinctly, there are interspersed periods of women's singing, which seem to be melodious and melodious in the breeze.

　Thank you for the reward of the scattered time.
