Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 79; Confused
What else can the big guy say now?
There is nothing to say. Fang Qiao's plan is there and he does not force anyone to do anything. The requirements for local officials are within the scope of what they should do.

For those wealthy gentry, the court did not forcibly requisition them. Instead, they spent money to rent the vacant places they had left vacant.

If you are empty, you are still empty. The court will give you a chance to make money. This is not too much.

However, these nobles just felt unhappy, and there was always a feeling that something was going to happen.

"In this case, let's disperse the court."

Emperor Zhaowu left, but Gao Fu quickly returned.

"Master Lin, the Minister of Rites, Master Chen, the Minister of Hubu, Master Fang, the Prime Minister of the Left, and Master Huo, Duke of Ji, please stay."

The four people who were named immediately stopped and turned around, bowing their hands towards Gao Fu.

Gao Fu quickly returned the gift.

"Your Majesty, please ask the four adults to go to the Imperial Study Room."

"Yes, we have General Manager Lao Gao."

The four of them handed over again, and then went to the royal study together.

At this time, Emperor Zhaowu had returned to the imperial study. When he entered the door just now, the young chamberlain handed him two things, saying that they were sent by Princess Ningyang to present to His Majesty.

Returning to the imperial study, feeling the warmth inside, Emperor Zhaowu moved his body.

Still comfortable here.

At the same time, he was also thinking about whether he should ask Zhaode for two more fireplaces and install them in the government hall, so that he could be warmer when he went to court in the future.

"Forget it, I'll let the Ministry of Works get two of them later. If I ask that girl again, Ningyang will probably have to bury me again."

Sitting on the dragon chair, he was just about to read the brochures and letters Ning Yang had sent him when he heard footsteps coming from outside.

"Your Majesty, the four adults have arrived."

"Let them in."

There is still business to talk about, and we have to look at the things sent by Princess Ningyang later.

By the time he finished discussing the matter with the four courtiers, it was already more than an hour later.

"Gao Fu, do you still remember those who were the first to stand up against us in the morning court?"

Gao Fu nodded quickly.

"The old slave has memorized everything."

Before going to court today, Emperor Zhaowu told Gao Fu to pay attention to who were the first five people to stand up after Fang Qiao finished speaking, and to write them all down.

Princess Zhaode has said that if this plan is to be implemented, there will inevitably be resistance. The money from renting the warehouse cannot feed those ambitious bastards.

Therefore, if you want to deter those who have ulterior motives and neglect disaster relief, you must prepare a few typical examples to deal with them severely.

"Give Han Tu the list and ask him to arrange for people to investigate and find out where these people's homes are and the officials in the disaster area. Give me a detailed report as soon as possible."

"Yes."

After Gao Fu withdrew, Emperor Zhaowu picked up the brochures and letters that Princess Ningyang had sent to him in the morning.

He opened the letter first, but as he read it, his face turned a little dark.

Is it insulting?Are you looking down on people?

But in the end, he could only shake his head and sigh helplessly. There was really nothing he could do about his imperial sister.

Thinking about it, what they said is not unreasonable. What his niece did in the cold weather, how could he have wasted it?Since it's said to spend money to buy, let's spend money to buy it. Anyway, in the past years, when winter came, the palace would also go outside to find ways to buy some vegetables shipped from the south.

Then he picked up the folder and unfolded it. When he saw it, he trembled all over.

His eyes immediately became serious, and even his body unconsciously sat up straight.

After reading it, he didn't move. He just stared straight ahead, while his mind was rapidly reviewing the plans written on the brochure.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very feasible and very good. It could curb land annexation to the greatest extent.

However, there is also a big trouble here, that is, if the plan is followed, it will undoubtedly affect the interests of the noble families in the world.

No, to be precise, it includes those nobles who followed his Xiao family to conquer the world.

These nobles have hundreds or even thousands of acres of fields in their names, and even the families behind them. The fields in the homes of seven aunts and eight aunts may all be in their names.

As people who had made great contributions to the establishment of the Yu Dynasty, the imperial court exempted them from taxes on their properties.

As for the poll tax, it has been relaxed a lot. After all, people have made so many achievements in the Yu Dynasty. Most of those nobles came from poor families. Even if there are some relatives, there are only a few of them?
There is no need to pay such a small amount of people's taxes, which chills the hearts of the heroes.

But if changes are to be made, these nobles must bear the brunt. As the most loyal guards of the royal family, they need to take the lead in many things.

Only in this way can the emperor take this opportunity to implement it.

But it won't work this time. The poll tax will be abolished and the land tax will be increased. Since it needs to be changed, everyone should be treated equally. It is absolutely impossible to only affect the nobles and nobles.

Then you have to rebel?
As for moving Xungui, will he?Can you do it?Obviously not. This is his staunchest supporter. If they lose their hearts, it will be too troublesome for him.

"Hey, although the method is good, it doesn't work."

Emperor Zhaowu sighed, closed the fold, then carefully put it away, stood up and put down the secret compartment behind the dragon chair.

Although it cannot be used now, this plan is a good strategy for seeking a country. If it cannot be used now, it does not mean that it will not be used in the future.

After setting up and placing the papers, he returned to the royal desk and sat down. His heart could not be calm for a long time, and his mind was uncontrollably thinking about it.

Looking at the folders on the desk, he didn't have the slightest intention to review them.

He sat like this for a while, until Gao Fu came back and saw that he was lost in thought for a while, frowned for a while, and shook his head quickly.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? I'm going to call the doctor right now."

"No, I'm just a little confused."

With that said, he stood up slowly and said, "Go and sit with the Queen."

At the Hot Spring Villa, a large carriage came to the door.

A nanny got out of the carriage. The concierge of the villa looked at her suspiciously, but she felt that this nanny was kind-hearted.

I couldn't remember who it was at the moment.

"Excuse me, please inform me that I am Aunt Liu who is with Mrs. Yongning Houfu. I have been ordered to come and pay homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess and Princess Zhaode."

When the concierge heard this, she realized that they were from the Yongning Hou Mansion. Isn't this the husband's family of my eldest aunt?
He immediately greeted the other party with a polite smile and walked in first, taking shelter from the wind and snow under the eaves.

Immediately, he sent someone to report.

In Huo Junyao's yard, to be honest, this winter in Yu Dynasty was very boring.

In her previous life, when she had nothing to do, she liked to make delicious food. However, the Yu Dynasty was really short of supplies and she was powerless.

No, I can only play chess with my mother to pass the time. Of course, she can't play Go, so I can only play backgammon with the patriarch and princess.
