Appoint me as a spy, but the contact person is actually the empress

Chapter 5 Late Night Communication, The Emperor's Master's Surprise

On the sixth day of March, at the third quarter of Yin time.

In the extremely silent palace, a figure appeared.

Dressed in black, Yao Guangyun galloped all the way from Changning Temple. As the emperor's tutor to the Empress of Wei Dynasty, he seldom met with his emperor's student since the empress ascended the throne.

One is to avoid suspicion, and the other is the turmoil in the court. He doesn't want to interfere with Jiang Ling.

Unexpectedly, at such a late night, Jiang Ling let herself enter the palace quickly.

He is very clear about the character of the Great Wei Empress, if it is not a major event, it is absolutely impossible.

And Yao Guangyun roughly guessed what was going on.

Change rice to mulberry!

This is one of the most important things in the court today.

However, Yao Guangyun maintained a neutral attitude towards changing rice to mulberry. The treasury is empty, and he really needs a sum of money to put out the fire, but rashly changing rice to mulberry is likely to cause other troubles.

But he no longer wanted to meddle in government affairs, and he also knew that Jiang Ling regarded changing rice into mulberry as life-saving straw, even if he spoke to stop it.

I'm afraid it will be useless, so there will be no participation.

in this way.

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Following Yao Guangyun's arrival, the eunuch outside the door immediately spoke out.

"Sir, quickly enter the palace."

The eunuch made a sound and asked someone to open the door of the hall. Yao Guangyun strode forward without hesitation and walked directly into the hall.

"Grassman Yao Guangyun, I greet Your Majesty."

After entering the main hall, Yao Guangyun kowtowed to the Empress, without any violation of etiquette.

On the jade table, Empress Jiang Ling immediately stood up, looked at her teacher, and spoke.

"Sir, you are very polite. I have said that when you see me, you don't need to kneel down and bow down."

Jiang Ling opened his mouth, got up from the dragon chair, and walked towards Yao Guangyun.

"Your Majesty, the grassroots have neither fame nor official status. They are just ordinary people of the Wei Dynasty. The ceremony of prostration is indispensable."

Yao Guangyun spoke out, looking extremely serious.

Facing this scene, Jiang Ling was familiar with his gentleman's temperament, so he didn't say much, but just spoke directly.

"Sir, I called you into the palace quickly. I have something to discuss with my husband, and I want to ask him for his opinion."

While Jiang Ling was speaking, he handed over a booklet to the other party.

The latter is not long-winded, just start the policy and watch carefully.

This is the content of the policy of changing rice to mulberry. The Zhejiang and Ningfu were set up as a pilot, following the example of the two rivers and seven prefectures. The imperial court allocated funds to buy seeds and give them to the people.

Yao Guangyun looked at it very seriously, not daring to miss a single word. This is a major event, involving tens of millions of people in Zhejiang Province.

If there is a slight negligence, countless sins will be created.

About half an hour later.

Yao Guangyun closed the policy theory with a calm expression.

"What do you think about this, sir?"

Jiang Ling opened his mouth and asked the other party.

"There are pros and cons, it's not a good choice."

Yao Guangyun didn't think about it, but he had already thought about this answer.

"Where is the advantage? Where is the disadvantage?"

Jiang Ling asked straightforwardly without going around the corner.

"Changing rice into mulberry will naturally benefit the people of one side. Mulberry leaves are planted to produce silk, which is processed into silk by textile shops in various places."

"Sell the countries in the Western Regions, earn a lot of silver, fill the treasury, and increase tax revenue."

"If it's just a drawback, if you implement it rashly, it will be difficult to implement the policy. Your Majesty needs to think twice about this matter."

Yao Guangyun said, this answer is very neat, neither belittling the policy is bad, but also not unreasonable praise, neutral position.

"gentlemen."

"I learned from you since I was a child, and I also know a little about Mr.'s character."

"This answer, I'm afraid it's not the sir's sincere words."

Jiang Ling looked calm.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Caomin does have some things to say, but it doesn't hurt the elegance."

"Changing rice into mulberry is a good thing after all, and the Great Wei really needs silk and satin trade to fill the emptiness of the treasury."

It's not that Yao Guangyun is really non-stick, but that changing rice to mulberry is indeed a good thing.

What is the biggest problem for the Great Wei Dynasty now?Isn't it just a lack of money?
Changing rice into mulberry is to make money for the court. Even though there are some problems, the purpose is clear and some sacrifices are inevitable.

I don't have any other way, if I talk too much sarcastic, isn't it just asking for trouble?
"Then may I ask, sir, for the imperial court, should we change rice to mulberry?"

Jiang Ling asked aloud, and her eyes were fixed on Yao Guangyun.

Sensing Jiang Ling's gaze, Yao Guangyun was a little silent, but finally said: "Yes! But it needs to be considered in the long run, and you can't do it rashly. At least wait until after the autumn harvest."

This is Yao Guangyun's answer.

Jiang Ling was very satisfied with this answer, at least Yao Guangyun still cared about Wei's safety.

"Sir, I'm going to cancel changing rice to mulberry."

In the hall, Jiang Ling slowly returned to the dragon chair, and said the words that shocked Yao Guangyun.

Cancel the conversion of rice to mulberry?

You know, since the time of Jiang Ling's father, Emperor Renzong, the household department proposed to change rice into mulberry, if Emperor Renzong hadn't died of illness prematurely.

I'm afraid it's already started.

After Jiang Ling succeeded to the throne, he also focused on changing rice to mulberry. The six cabinet ministries were both controversial and gave advice on this matter.

It can be said that the matter of changing rice into mulberry involves the country, and Jiang Ling has given support from the beginning to the end.

Why did you change your mind?

"Your Majesty, why is this?"

Yao Guangyun asked curiously.

"The matter of changing rice into mulberry, my original intention is to benefit the people and earn silver for the court."

"But after thinking about it for the past few days and nights, I found that it is difficult to implement this matter no matter what."

"It involves a dispute between the two parties in the DPRK and China. You should be aware of it, sir."

On the dragon chair, Jiang Ling picked up a memorial and flipped through it casually. Her words seemed careless, but it was these words that surprised Yao Guangyun for a moment.

"Is Your Majesty worried that the promotion of the New Deal will be affected by the struggle between the two parties in the DPRK and China?"

Yao Guangyun lowered his head and asked.

"almost."

Jiang Ling gave an intriguing answer, which made Yao Guangyun silent.

After a while of silence, Jiang Ling took the initiative to break the silence.

"Sir, I ask you."

"If the imperial court really changes rice to mulberry, will the officials in the imperial court let the local gentry buy land wantonly?"

"Will it be for the sake of competing for interests, collusion between government and businessmen, and plundering by force?"

"Even in order to complete political achievements, self-destructed dikes, flooded fields, regardless of people's life and death?"

Jiang Ling opened his mouth and said all the possibilities that Xu Shouyun had mentioned.

In fact, after she came back, after some careful consideration, she completely believed every word Xu Shouyun said.

She even thought that these officials would be more terrifying than what Xu Shouyun said.

Now the purpose of asking Yao Guangyun is also very simple.

She didn't know if her teacher still supported her?Is it worthy of your trust.

"meeting."

"Even more than that."

However, facing this answer, Yao Guangyun did not hesitate at all, and his eyes were also full of shock.

Because of the problem of changing rice to mulberry, he thought about many kinds of adverse consequences, and always felt that he would fail, but he couldn't think of where the point of failure was.

Now following his former protégé, the current Great Wei Empress asked a few questions.

He figured it out completely.

Changing rice into mulberry is doomed to failure.

It's not a question of policy.

It's a matter of court disputes.

But what shocked him was that the empress who was in danger before him could think of this level.

It's only been a few months.

Yao Guangyun was shocked.
