Princess of the auxiliary country

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing."

"Your uncle the emperor asked me to send him a basket of vegetables every day from now on."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao shook her head and refused without even thinking, "No."

"Although there are a lot of vegetables in our fields, how long is the winter? And we want to eat it ourselves. Don't dad, second brother, eldest sister, and future sister-in-law give it to us?"

When the eldest princess heard this, she thought that was the case. There were indeed many in her vegetable patch, but they couldn't handle so many people. They could deliver them every day.

"Besides, I plan to get some and sell them for money. I have invested a lot, and I have to earn it back."

The money currently invested in these greenhouses is almost [-] guan, and now we still haven’t seen a penny come back. This is not okay.

"Yes, then let him spend money to buy it. Not only did you save him a lot of money this time, but you also helped him a lot. How shameless are you, thinking of freeloading."

"Later, my mother will write a letter and tell him that if you want to eat what you have worked so hard to grow, just use the money to buy it. There will be no way to give it away."

Huo Junyao nodded repeatedly, wasn't it? She had worked so hard to grow it, so if she could give one away, it was all for the sake of the elders' face.

There is no reason to keep sending them away. Do you really think the emperor is great?Even if it is really great, wanting to eat for free every day is just too much.

After dinner, the mother and daughter went for a walk in the greenhouse together. This has almost become a must-do for the mother and daughter after a meal.

After the inspection, you have to take a dip in the warm soup.

The eldest princess is enjoying this kind of life very much now. There is no mess and she can spend time with her daughter every day.

When night fell, the eldest princess returned to the main courtyard where she lived and asked Aunt Zhao to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstones.

First, he took out a letter and wrote in detail about abolishing the poll tax and increasing the land tax to curb land annexation.

Finally, I checked it twice and closed it when I thought it was OK. Then I wrote another letter.

Naturally, what he is talking about is that vegetables can no longer be sent away. If you want to eat them, then spend money to buy them. There is no reason for your daughter to invest so much money and work so hard to grow them, only for others to eat them in vain, right?

In the end, it was indispensable to bury the emperor severely.

At dawn the next day, the eldest princess left the hot spring villa and headed straight for the capital.

At the morning meeting, Left Prime Minister Fang Qiao also read over the disaster relief plan that had been compiled and supplemented yesterday, and supplemented it in all aspects.

Many ministers thought it was very good after hearing this. Of course, many people thought that the method was good, but it was not easy to get others to obey.

Especially the officials below and the wealthy gentry, there are many people who work in secret and violate the law.

Now some people have raised these concerns.

Fang Qiao had been prepared for a long time and came up with a response plan. When he finished explaining, many courtiers frowned.

Emperor Zhaowu sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the ministers below. When he saw the frowning officials of the gentry, he smiled coldly in his heart.

The Yu Dynasty could be established, and the gentry were very helpful when the Xiao family was in trouble. After the founding of the country, the court needed people to help manage the world, and the gentry recommended their own children to become officials in the court.

At that time, the Supreme Emperor was actually very reluctant, but he had no choice. To govern the world, one still needs scholars.

The gentry have had a monopoly on scholars for thousands of years. Although there are scholars from poor families, the number is too small, and it does not take a scholar from a poor family to be an official.How can one assume governance responsibilities if they are incompetent?
Therefore, even if you are reluctant, you have to accept the recommendation of the nobles. The consequence of this is that most of the officials in the court are officials from the nobles, and these people often unite in private to resist the decrees issued by the emperor.

As long as it is beneficial to their noble clan, everyone will rush forward like a chicken blood. They can't wait to propose it in the morning and implement it immediately in the afternoon.

On the contrary, if there are government orders that are not beneficial to them, they will attack them in groups and find various reasons to oppose them.

If the emperor is determined to implement it, they will even resort to admonishment.

The so-called death remonstrance, to put it bluntly, is to force the emperor. You can't do this. If you don't listen, I will crash to death here and so on.

Is the emperor afraid that these people will die?To be honest, I wish these people would die, but I can't let them die.

The scholar's mouth is very powerful. If such a remonstrance comes, it won't be long before the guy who was killed by the collision will be famous all over the world, and even go down in history.

He will be established as a straight and loyal minister, and the emperor who is in opposition to him will naturally be branded as a fool and a fool.

Can that emperor endure being pointed at and called stupid, or even leaving such a disgraceful reputation in the history books of scholars?
Therefore, the emperor was also in a very difficult position. He could not fight or kill them, and he even wished them to die. When they wanted to commit suicide, he had to persuade them with kind words.

It was very frustrating.

When the Supreme Emperor was on the throne, this kind of thing happened several times, and it ended with the Supreme Emperor's compromise.

This year is his third year on the throne, and nothing like this has happened, but he has always been thinking about how to curb the influence of the noble family in the court.

If we continue to let things go like this, I am afraid that the royal family will become a puppet in the hands of these nobles in the future.

If you just want to contain or even clean up the power of the noble clan, it won't happen overnight. You have to take it step by step and not too big. Otherwise, once the attention of these people is attracted, the court will be shaken.

When Fang Qiao finished explaining the plan, someone immediately stood up and objected.

Emperor Zhaowu took a look and found that it was indeed these noble officials again.

I really don’t want to suffer any losses, I only want the benefits.

There was a hint of deep murderous intent in the depths of his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this is inappropriate. Those warehouses or vacant rooms are private property of others, and the court has no right to expropriate them. Even if it is a lease, it requires someone's approval. Is there any reason to force the lease?"

"This is unreasonable and will breed these people's resentment towards the imperial court."

"These people are quite famous in the local area. If they instigate it, the people's sense of the imperial court will rapidly decline. The imperial court will lose its majesty, and the consequences will be serious."

As soon as the man finished speaking, many officials stood up to comply. At a glance, they were all nobles.

And there are none of those meritorious ministers who followed the Xiao family to conquer the world.

This group of people are firm supporters of the royal family. If Fang Qiao can say this in the court, he must have received His Majesty's permission, which is equivalent to His Majesty's will.

Naturally, they will not disobey His Majesty.

"Master Zheng, what you said is wrong."

Huo Jingzhi was the first to stand up and object. This was a plan proposed by her daughter, and it was also a very desirable plan. How could these individuals be allowed to block its implementation?
