Red House Shoufu

Chapter 87
Since ancient times, the imperial court has used nothing more than two methods to raise money, either reducing expenditure or increasing revenue.

Although it is a bit old-fashioned, there is no problem with the general direction.Lin Shu explained in detail: "The money saved by throttling is a small amount after all, and it cannot really solve the problem. Your Majesty, there are actually many ways to increase income. I have an idea, but it is a bit against the ancestral system, and may be punished by the court." The princes in the hall object."

The emperor, who was just complaining casually, suddenly heard that Lin Shu had an idea, and hurriedly said: "The ancestral system has been in existence for nearly a hundred years, and there are many things that are out of date. Naturally, we can modify it according to the current situation. As for the court Don't pay attention to the voice of opposition. Speak!"

With the emperor's words, Lin Shu immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I once learned in a travel book that there is a place near the sea in the west of the country called Izumo, which is rich in silver, easy to mine, and the output is extremely high. Great. Later, I conducted an investigation. Although the silver mine here has been mined by Ouchi Yoshitaka, one of the great names of the Japanese nation, but not one ten-thousandth of it has been mined. Your Majesty, I feel that the treasure of the sage, Is it against the law of heaven not to accept?"

"Your travel book, is it still there?" The emperor's eyes were almost the color of silver, he calmed down and asked.

Lin Shu replied: "The travel notes have been lost during the travel, but I once copied the important information such as the location description into a book, and sent them to the palace when I returned home to look for them. The matter of Shi Jian Yinshan is very serious. There are quite a few people who know about it, but most of them think it is a small silver mine and don't pay attention to it..."

Seeing that Lin Shu was so solemn, the emperor didn't seem to be lying.And in the past few years, every time Lin Shu did something, it was justified and proved to be quite effective in the end, and he already believed it eight or nine points in his heart.

And what he lacks the most now is money, as long as he can dig up money, let alone the country of Wa, he will find a way to get it back to the capital even in the ends of the world.

However, it is not easy to keep this matter secret, at least to hide it from the people in the court before controlling the name of the Wa Kingdom.

When the emperor was meditating, Lin Shu was also secretly happy in his heart.The Wa country is now in the Warring States period, and there are constant wars everywhere, which is a good opportunity to start.

Thinking of the Sino-Japanese War in later generations and the later 14 years of the Anti-Japanese War, if he didn't find a chance to destroy him, how could he express his anger in his heart.Lin Shu had only one thought in his mind: he had no chance in his previous life, so he should make good use of it if he had a chance.Angry?Then be angry!

With the temperament of the current emperor, the silver is of course mine.Wa country?That's mine too!

"I'll think about this matter when I go back, so don't say anything about it. This matter is of great importance, and I have my own plan."

The emperor already had a simple plan in mind, and in order to be safe, he still needed to send someone to investigate secretly.It's not that he doesn't believe in Lin Shu, it's just that as the king of a country, stability is the top priority in everything.

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, Lin Shu was secretly delighted.He bowed and promised: "I would like to obey His Majesty's will!"

With the hope of solving the troubles in his heart, the emperor was in a good mood.After finally going out of the palace, he didn't want to talk about political affairs.

Immediately, he chatted with Gao Yonghuan and Lin Shu about recent interesting things in the capital, such as whose family had captured a son-in-law and brought back an old Jinshi, which minister's family's unworthy descendants went to brothels to compete with others for the top prize, and so on.

It was almost noon, the housekeeper of the palace came to invite Gao Yonghuan, saying that several clansmen had come and needed him to entertain him.The emperor also felt that the time was almost up, so he said he wanted to go back to the palace.

Gao Yonghuan failed to persuade him to stay, and finally he and Lin Shu sent him to the carriage and left through the side door.Before leaving, the emperor did not forget to tell Lin Shu to send the booklet recording Ishijian Yinshan to the palace.

……

Besides, in the inner courtyard of the palace, Cui Shi, Princess Zhongshun, is still dazzling at the age of nearly forty.No wonder Gao Yonghuan had many concubines in his family, but none of them dared to stab her in front of her.

Concubine Cui was born in a famous family, and her ancestor was a 11-year Jinshi of Renzong Chaotiansheng. After three dynasties, she has been honored continuously.In the year of Longsheng, he joined the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, and until now he has ascended the throne and retired bravely, returning to his hometown for support.

His father, Cui Jingxiu, was in the prime of his life, and now serves as Minister of Taichang Temple, one of the nine ministers of the Great Chu.Although he is not very keen on official career, but with his knowledge and qualifications, he was able to produce six books.

Not to mention that the Cui family is a family of officials and officials. Most of the uncles and elder brothers of Princess Cui are officials.With such a family background, no one really dared to try to provoke her by relying on Zhai Dou.

Ever since they married into the palace, Princess Cui and Gao Yonghuan are not only a couple for life, they are also very loving.After giving birth to his son Gao Wanjiang, he had another daughter.

With both children and children, she lived a happy life, which was many times better than the sisters-in-law in other palaces.

At this time, she was talking with the female relatives who celebrated the birthday today in the room. It seemed that the female relatives of the clan and honored ministers were sitting in the room.

After Daiyu was brought in by Eunuch Wang, she met the princess, and sat obediently on a chair to listen to the ladies talking and laughing quietly.

Of course, Ningrong and Rongfu also sent people, but unfortunately Wang Xifeng couldn't come because she was pregnant. .

When Daiyu found a few people in the crowd, she quietly walked over to greet them.

Jia Youshi and Jia Xingshi knew that their master had a close relationship with the Lin family, so naturally they would not show embarrassment to Daiyu.Besides, Lin Shujian was in the emperor's heart, wouldn't offending Daiyu bring disaster on himself?

Only the Jia Wang family had always disliked Daiyu, and after Wang Ziteng told her about the Lin family's refusal to marry, she disliked Daiyu even more.

Jia Xing was the eldest, and she said kindly to Daiyu: "Originally, your elder sister Feng wanted to find you, but your second elder brother Lian would not let her go out now, but she has been suffocated at home these days.

Daiyu replied: "I should be the one who went to see Sister Feng. My aunt went back and told Sister Feng that I would go to see her in the mansion tomorrow..."

"Madam Lin, it's better not to go, I'm afraid that if you go to the mansion, the old lady will be angry, and I will take care of you if you hurt yourself!" Jia Wang suddenly interrupted, and said something strange.

Daiyu frowned, and the noble ladies from the neighboring families turned their heads to look at the Jia family and Daiyu.

Most of the people who were able to come to the palace to celebrate their birthdays had acquaintances, and the only one in the room who was unfamiliar was Daiyu.

When I was in Rongguo Mansion, I didn't leave my house, and then I stayed in Suzhou for three years.Daiyu, who has just returned to the capital, has no elders to take her to various mansions for banquets and visits, so she has seen very few people.

Except for the fact that when they met Princess Cui, they knew that she was the Princess of Rongjia personally appointed by His Majesty, this group of noble ladies really had nothing to do with other situations.

Daiyu, who already had a peerless appearance, had a very good impression among these ladies, and wondered if any of her boys would have a chance, so she could inquire about the specific situation.

But Jia Wang's words made everyone doubtful. From what he said just now, the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion was the grandmother of the Rongjia county head.How unfilial is it for a granddaughter to make the old lady so angry that she doesn't want to see her again?
Seeing that the situation was not right, Jia Xing immediately said, "Siblings, what are you talking about? My niece is so sincere and filial, when did you make the old lady angry?"

When Jia Wang saw the eyes of the people around her focusing on herself and the others, she was overjoyed. She wanted to teach Jia Min's evil son a lesson today.

"Madam Lin visited the old lady once in the capital. Has she ever been to the mansion until now? The old lady has raised her as her own granddaughter for three years, but now that she is the head of the county, she has long looked down on us poor people. Relatives!"
