serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 484 Three Long Years Part [-]

"Get up."

With that said, Jia Hu opened another memorial, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs conducted a survey and found that the price of food in Zhili has been falling for thirteen consecutive months. Now you can buy one stone of food for less than [-] yuan. In Nanyang, Grain from Annan and other places has had a huge impact on domestic grain prices. This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. Low grain prices hurt farmers!
  Many people in Baoding and other places have switched to other crops, and have even abandoned their crops. After only a few years of eating, many people have forgotten the days of hunger. If the navy hadn't successfully defeated the combined fleet of the Westerners and recaptured food from Nanyang, millions of people would have starved to death!
  Therefore, domestic food must be self-sufficient. "

Jia She: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Lin Ruhai, Wang Hetang and others: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Jia Hu: "Let me tell you two things. Only rice, wheat, corn and other crops can be grown in farmland. The court will compensate the people's losses. The other is to convert the land tax into food to reduce the people's losses."

Jia She replied: "I obey the order."

Jia Hu took out another piece of paper from the case file, "In the past two years, as the imperial army continued to expand its territory, the merchants who followed behind made a lot of money. Gardens in the south of the Yangtze River were built one after another, and gardens on the Qinhuai River were built one after another. There are even more flower boats as far as the eye can see. Some businessmen dare to ride in the big blue cloth sedan. The empire has spent so much on military pay and killed so many soldiers in battle, but in the end it is their official stores that make the profit?"

Wang Hetang replied: "Back to the emperor, the empire follows the tax system of the previous dynasty, and the tax rate is still one in twenty."

Jia Hu frowned. It was so low, even lower than the land tax. He thought about it and said, "Change it to ten taxes and one, and also change the land tax from fifteen taxes and one to twenty taxes and one."

Wang Hetang: "Yes."

Jia Hu wanted to say something more, but the eunuch on duty hurried in: "Your Majesty, General Liu Xianglian has escorted the Tianzhu royal family to Beijing. They will soon arrive at the imperial city."

"Oh?"

Jia Hu was inspired. Since the Zhou Dynasty defeated all the Western forces in Nanyang, Great Britain, whose strength was greatly reduced, was not able to destroy Tianzhu as it had done in history.

However, God did not bless Tianzhu, and the country eventually fell.

I don’t know what Indians are like at this time, whether they also smell like curry.

Thinking of this, Jia Hu stood up suddenly, "Let's go and see what the ancestors of the old immortal are like!" With that, he strode out.
  Jia Hu walked into Qianqing Palace with his hands behind his back and walked straight to Kunning Palace.

Behind him was the little fat man.

"How could it be Caucasian?"

As Jia Hu walked away, he said, "Is it possible that he is of Aryan origin? Little fat man?"

What is "Aryan"? How did the little fat man know this, but he still answered: "To tell you the truth to the emperor, no matter whose seed they are, they are now the mining slaves of the empire."

Jia Hu stopped for a moment and glanced at the little fat man.

The little fat man was startled: "Did I say the wrong thing?"

Jia Hu continued to take steps: "No, you are right."

The little fat man smiled and said: "The people from Tianzhu look much better than the people from Japan. They will definitely be better than the people from Japan to mine in Siberia. The price of coal should be reduced next year."

Jia Hu secretly smiled. He looked up to the people of Tianzhu too much. The history of Tianzhu was a series of blood and tears conquered by foreign nations. As for the reason, it was so useless!

In terms of endurance and hard work, they are not as good as the Japanese.

"Jia Jinxuan!"

As soon as he stepped into Kunning Palace, Jia Hu heard Lin Daiyu's roar.

Immediately afterwards, Jia Jinxuan's giggle came from the bedroom again.

Jia Hu smiled. This girl was spoiled by him. She was extremely naughty and naughty. She had reached the age where people hate dogs.

Jia Mu, Youshi, and even Mrs. Xing persuaded Jia Hu and Lin Daiyu to select several nuns to guide Jia Jinxuan.

Regarding this, Jia Hu and Lin Daiyu both smiled and didn't take it to heart. This girl had a good nature, but she was a bit naughty and smart.

Lin Daiyu's scolding and Jia Jinxuan's laughter came from the bedroom. Jia Hu stood outside the door and listened quietly. After a while, he gently pushed the ajar door open with both hands.

Just then Jia Jinxuan turned her head and immediately exclaimed: "Father!" She ran towards Jia Hu quickly with her little legs.

Jia Hu hugged his daughter in one hand and walked into the palace.

Seeing Jia Hu come in, Lin Daiyu was slightly blessed: "The emperor is back."

At this time, a little girl with pink and jade sculptures came out from behind Lin Daiyu, said Wan Blessing, and said: "Uncle." "Hey, Rongshou is here!"

Jia Hu smiled and said to Lin Daiyu, "The old lady is here?"

Lin Daiyu touched Rong Shou's little head and said, "Well, I went to Yikun Palace to see Xiangyun's mother and daughter."

"Where's the second child?" Jia Hu looked inside again.

Lin Daiyu said angrily: "Ask your dear daughter!"

Jia Jinxuan lay down and whispered a few words in Jia Hu's ear.

Jia Hu smiled and nodded her forehead. This girl used rouge to put blush on her second child while Lin Daiyu and others were not paying attention.

Now Jia Hu is the father of six children, four sons and two daughters, the second born to Lin Daiyu, the third to Xue Baochai, Hu Bo's son is the youngest, and Xiangyun gave birth to a daughter for Jia Hu last year.

At this time, Zicuckoo came over with her second child in her arms and said, "Slave, please see your Majesty."

The second child stumbled over, threw himself on the ground, and Yaya said: "Father."

Jia Hu put down his daughter and picked up his second son. As a result, Jia Jinxuan was unhappy and hugged his legs, saying coquettishly: "Father~"

Lin Daiyu deliberately darkened her face: "Go out and have fun by yourself, don't make trouble with your father."

Jia Jinxuan was still a little afraid of Lin Daiyu, so she glanced at Lin Daiyu timidly, then at Jia Hu, said hello, and replied: "Yes." She walked out lightly.

Zijuan hurriedly chased out.

Rong Shou hesitated for a moment and said to Lin Daiyu: "Aunt, let me go see my sister."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Go."

Rongshou: "Yes." He replied, bowed to Jia Hu again, and then hurried out.

The nurse came forward at this time, took the second prince and left.

Jia Hu walked to the Kang and sat down, and asked, "Why did the old lady remember to enter the palace?"

Lin Daiyu held a bowl of tea and said, "Dear me, Baoyu is getting married soon!"

Jia Hu was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Jia Baoyu, a prodigal, was finally going to get married.

As for Jia Mu's purpose of entering the palace, it must be for the sake of her title.

Jia Hu was a stingy person, and his second wife only granted awards to two people. Jia Zheng was granted the title of Prince of the County, and Princess Jia Tanchun was granted an unusual award.

After two years of waiting, it's time to knight Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Lan, and it's time for Jia Zheng to be promoted to the title of prince.

Jia Hu suddenly remembered: "Hey, how come I heard that Baoyu and Miaoyu, that fake nun, don't know each other?"

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes at him: "What does it mean to be unclear? What does it mean to discuss Buddhism together?"

Jia Hu smiled and said: "A romantic young man and a fake nun were discussing Buddhism late at night."

Lin Daiyu immediately interrupted him: "Hey, your sister is going to watch the steam engine ship trial."

"If she doesn't draw well, why would she want to go watch a steam engine ship trial?"

"It's not Xichun, it's Third Girl."

Jia Hu looked at Lin Daiyu: "Tangchun?"

Lin Daiyu looked towards the door and whispered something into Jia Hu's ear.

what?? ?
  Jia Hu's eyes widened, Tan Chun actually fell in love with the man from science and engineering!
  Lin Daiyu suddenly remembered: "It's been three years, it's time for you to give Zijuan an identity."

After a pause, "I promised her back then."

Jia Hu came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and said, "I understand, just wait a moment."
