With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

"Princess Xinyang is expressing his heart to you, big brother. Big brother has to make a decision early. I hope she is not a entanglement. Besides, I have to talk to my parents about this matter." Su Junning said in a low voice.

Su Yuzhen nodded, "Don't worry, I know the seriousness of this matter, and I will ask the servant to return this jade pendant later."

Regarding the elder brother's matter, Su Junning, as a younger sister, naturally doesn't want to talk too much, just remind a few words from the side, so now seeing that Su Yuzhen knows it well, she doesn't say any more.

After Su Yuzhen took the things and left, Su Wanyin posted it, and the two sisters held hands.

"How, are you happy to go today? I specially sent someone out to inquire. The rumors about you and Xuan Pinghou were all dissipated before. Now I ask, it seems that you and Mr. Shen have a strong friendship."

The two sisters walked back chatting, and Su Junning smiled slightly.

"What are you talking about outside, the left is just to join in the fun, the good and the bad, it will pass in a while, but today I learned how to ride a horse, and I got a good white horse, I named it Yinsu, you can Go and see."

"Horse?" Su Wanyin's eyes lit up.

Immediately pulled her to turn around.

"Then let's go and see it now. I only ride in a carriage and have never ridden a horse before. This horse was given to you by Mr. Shen? Hey, when will someone give me a good horse and teach me how to ride a horse? Really! It's eye-watering!"

Saying that, Su Wanyin's face showed a bit of longing.

Su Junning smiled and touched her lightly with her arm.

"It's not easy, you just go find a fiancé."

"Aren't you ashamed, where is a girl who finds a husband-in-law by herself?" Su Wanyin also touched her not to be outdone.

The two sisters quarreled and went to the place where the horses were raised.

Now that Yinsu has just been picked up, it will be kept together with the horses that pull the carriage for the time being. When a craftsman is found tomorrow, we will make proper arrangements.

The inside of the mansion is safe for the time being, but the outside is not so good.

In the palace, there are a lot of people standing in the imperial study room today.

The two ministers from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, important civil officials headed by Su Yi, generals like Shen He and Rong Guogong, and the four princes were all there.

Emperor Jianning looked solemn.

"Yan Hu wolf is ambitious, Zhezi has been reported from the west, and it is impossible to negotiate a peace now. This battle must be fought, but not long after I ascended the throne, the treasury was originally empty, and now it is not much richer. There is no shortage of strong soldiers and good generals, but on this food and grass , I’m afraid there are some shortcomings, what can you dear friends do to solve this worry for me.”

When it comes to food and war, the two ministers of the Ministry of household and the Ministry of war are naturally the first to bear the brunt.

The two looked at each other, and Shangshu Hubu stepped forward first.

"Your Majesty, I think everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Now that the war has started and there is a shortage of food and grass, it is feasible to raise donations. The whole country in Beidi has rich businessmen, gentry, lords and high-ranking officials. This is the time to serve the country."

Emperor Jianning closed his eyes, not very satisfied with this proposal.

"Naturally, a sum of money can be obtained by raising donations, but how much or how little is donated is all based on one's own wishes. I'm afraid it's not enough. Don't raise donations again and again, which will inevitably cause public resentment."

Seeing that this trick was not working, the Minister of the Ministry of War stood up again.

"I still have another way. The previous dynasty also refused to pay the national treasury during the war, and when the soldiers' salaries were insufficient, the policy of collecting taxes in advance was implemented at that time. This tax collection is originally stipulated by the law, and it is more appropriate to think about it."

One of the sources of the national treasury is tax collection, which is indeed a lot of money.

This proposal was also something that Emperor Jianning had thought of, so he nodded slightly at this moment.

"That would be a good countermeasure."

"Father." Prince Chen stood up at this moment.

Emperor Jianning followed his prestige, "Do you have something to say?"

"Returning to my father, I have a little humble opinion."

Chen Wang nodded, and took a step forward, said in a deep voice.

"I believe that early tax collection is indeed a feasible strategy, but this early tax collection will also bring troubles to many ordinary people. There are many poor people who have to rely on grain to collect transaction taxes. The summer tax is being collected. , Right now, the tax is being collected in advance, the autumn tax is being collected, I am afraid that many people will not be able to pay it, so it is better to collect the tax in advance, focusing on the business tax, and lenient the farming people."

The annual tax is divided into two rounds. The summer tax is only in June, and the autumn tax is only in November. The autumn tax is the main one.

Now in the middle of May, it is time to pay the summer tax. If the autumn tax is also paid together, many people will not be able to pay it.

After listening to King Chen's words, King Jin and the Seventh Prince's expressions changed.

They didn't expect that the King Chen would take the lead in this stage, and they were a little annoyed.

After listening to King Chen's words, Emperor Jianning pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

"It's rare that you have a heart for the people and a benevolent heart. This matter should be done according to your instructions. The family of officials and merchants will be taxed in advance, and the family of farmers will not need it. This matter has to be done quickly, and I will leave it to you." You cooperate with the household department."

When he said this, Emperor Jianning inevitably felt regretful and distressed in his heart.

Speaking of it, Prince Chen's son-in-law is indeed the best of all his sons, what a pity, what a pity.

"My son obeys." Chen Wang cupped his hands and said again, "It's just that my body is weak, and the taxation is complicated. I'm afraid I don't have enough energy. My son sees that the seventh brother has experienced well during this period, and the third brother is good at fighting. On the front line, why not let the seventh brother and Erchen share the worries in the rear."

It is well known that Jin Wang is good at leading troops to fight.

Emperor Jianning was able to start his army from Yanzhou and break into Bianjing all the way to win the throne. King Jin has made a lot of contributions. Otherwise, besides the prince, he would not have been the prince with the title.

But now the Prince Chen is no longer the prince, and the seizure of the heir apparent has become a matter between the King Jin and the Seventh Prince. No matter how good the King Jin is at fighting, he is not willing to leave Bianjing easily.

But Chen Wang's words seem to have clarified the division of labor between internal and external. King Jin went out to fight, and the Seventh Prince was preparing for the battle with him in Bianjing, which undoubtedly favored the Seventh Prince.

It's understandable, after all, everyone now knows that the Queen's party is close to the Seventh Prince, and it is obvious that the Prince Chen has no hope of succession, and instead supports the Seventh Prince.

Regarding this, Emperor Jianning turned a blind eye.

After all, for Emperor Jianning, King Jin still lacked to be a prince, and the fourth prince was the least hopeful, so the seventh prince is currently the pawn used by Emperor Jianning to practice King Jin.

Of course, if the Seventh Prince is really better than King Jin, then Emperor Jianning doesn't care about the humble mother of the Seventh Prince.

So at this moment, when King Chen made such a request, Emperor Jianning acted as if he felt sorry for King Chen, and agreed accordingly.

"Alright, let Lao Qi help you."

"I obey your orders, I will definitely assist elder brother and all the adults!" The Seventh Prince immediately came out after hearing the words.

Pretend to be obedient and obedient.

The king of Jin who was next to him saw how happy they were, and his eyes darkened involuntarily.

He glanced at the ministers present, but Su Yi didn't meet his eyes. In the end, it was Rong Guogong Li Kun'an who stood up.

"Your Majesty, there is already a solution to this problem of food and grass. I wonder who the Emperor will send as commander in this battle to lead the troops out?"

Li Lingxi will soon be married, and she will be Princess Jin in the future. As the father-in-law, he naturally tried to side with King Jin.
