After being read into his mind, he became the beloved uncle of the country.

As a direct daughter of the Xie family, Xie Zixian has never worried about money since she was a child.

Even when she married the prince and became the prince's concubine, she never worried about money.

Who could have imagined that when she became a princess and a queen, she would start to worry about money.

Of course, it’s not that there is really no money, it’s just that money has to be spent everywhere, and the money in the inner treasury cannot be used up all at once.

Now, with Shen Yunyao opening up a way to make money, Xie Zixian has completely achieved financial freedom.

Xie Zixian even felt that in the future the money in the internal treasury might exceed that of the national treasury closed by the Ministry of Revenue.

In fact, Dayong’s household department is not short of money either. But neither the Minister of Household Affairs nor the ministers below dared to spend money recklessly.

Regardless of the tens of millions of taels of money stored in the national treasury, if there is any natural disaster or a war breaks out on the border, this money will have to be spent like water.

It’s not easy to save money, but it’s so easy to spend it!

Of course, if Dayong increased various taxes, the revenue of the treasury would also increase a lot. However, since the founding of Dayong, the emperors of all dynasties have been relatively sage and have never had a coward, so naturally they cannot do anything to make money crazily.

From the beginning of the founding of the country, after Emperor Taizu established the national policy of hiding wealth for the people, Dayong has always had good weather. Occasionally there are natural disasters, but they are minor troubles.

There are even natural disasters in some places that can be quelled by local officials alone.

But as a country gets bigger, there are more places to spend money.

The salary of officials cannot be less!

If there are too few, officials will have no choice but to exact excessive taxes.

Therefore, Dayong's salary was the highest in all dynasties, and it was euphemistically called high salary to support integrity.

Secondly, the officers and soldiers must also be paid in full.

Eating free money?

Whoever eats it will die!

Although Dayong has been a country for many years, it has always paid equal attention to civil and military affairs, and there has never been a situation where civil society overwhelms military affairs. In the words of Emperor Taizu, the emperor of Dayong can be replaced, but the bones of Dayong people cannot be broken.

He would rather have Dayong's kingdom be taken away by military generals one day than to have Dayong's people become two-legged sheep in the mouths of foreign tribes one day.

Therefore, there is an iron rule in the founding of the Yong Dynasty. If there is a standing army, but there is no pay, all the soldiers can directly kill the person, without guilt and merit.

This iron law is engraved into a monument. Wherever Dayong troops are stationed, this iron law stone tablet must be erected on the spot.

To put it bluntly, the soldiers even hope that someone above them will take the free pay, so that they will get the credit!

However, with Taizu's iron rule here, unless someone is tired of living, otherwise, only a fool will want to eat free money.

Because of this, the rule of the Dayong royal family was actually impregnable.

In the past, the royal family did not take soldiers seriously.

So much so that in the dynasties before Dayong, there was a saying that good men should not be soldiers. But in Dayong, being a soldier is one of the careers that many people dream of.

Want to be a soldier?

First, defeat the many competitors in the same village or even the same county.

Why is Dayong so strong?

Why don’t foreign races from all over the world and small neighboring countries dare to make trouble?

Just because Dayong's soldiers are the best among their peers.

How can it be possible to raise such good soldiers without adequate food, salary and logistics?

As for this part of the money, as long as the Ministry of War files a document with the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Household Affairs must release it as soon as possible.

Although the adults in the household department are not short of money, they really don't dare to spend it randomly.

As the queen, Xie Zixian naturally knew this.

Therefore, unless a certain palace in the harem was about to collapse, she would not ask the Ministry of Households for money. After all, the adults in the household department were all chatting and laughing, but as long as they asked for money, they would instantly transform into red-eyed rabbits.

"Sister, are you short of money?" Shen Yunyao asked curiously after hearing Xie Zixian's emotion.

Xie Zixian nodded and said: "It's not that we are in short supply, but we just don't dare to spend money!"

"To put it simply, ordinary people may only need two taels of silver to buy the same silk satin, but for the royal family, it would cost five taels of silver to start with!"

"Why?"

"The Emperor's grace is so great!"

Xie Zixian chuckled, "Actually, it's mainly because the same style is used by the royal family, but ordinary people can't use it!"

Shen Yunyao understood instantly.

"Sister, this is quite reasonable!"

Shen Yunyao didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

As long as the people below are not fooling around and greedy for this money, then there will be no problem in this matter.

To put it bluntly, the royal family used luxury goods at prices higher than the market price.

After all, although the materials and labor used in a style unique to the royal family may be the same as other styles, if this style is not exclusively for the royal family, then they will definitely make more money.

"I know it's reasonable, but I think the royal family is quite unjust!"

"After all, I am in charge of so many people and things in the palace!"

"If they want to spend money, they have to reach out to me."

"Emperor Taizu also set the rule that the royal family cannot compete with the people for profit. The royal family is not allowed to engage in many particularly profitable industries."

"Just relying on the little bit of success in the fields in Zhuangzi, you don't know that from the time I was a queen, I might as well have been a girl!"

“Sister, let’s face it, it’s called not being a householder and not knowing how expensive food, rice, oil and salt are!”

Shen Yunyao couldn't help laughing when she saw Xie Zixian who was so down-to-earth.

indeed!

Many girls who were favored by their parents' families had nothing to worry about when they were young girls. Only when they got married did they suddenly realize that they could never go back.

"Sister-in-law, tell me if you are short of money!"

After hearing the conversation between Xie Zixian and Shen Yunyao, Princess Huanxi immediately decided to be a considerate sister-in-law.

Then, when Xie Zixian said that Jingren Palace needed to be renovated and it would cost about fifty thousand taels of silver, Princess Huanxi immediately said that she was too poor to help.

It actually costs so much money to repair a palace?

"Yes, the wood for Jingren Palace must be selected from the mountains in the southwest, transported to the port by water, and transported to the capital by sea. The cost of this wood alone is huge."

"Then, the pattern carving of wood also requires skilled craftsmen. Those who rely on craftsmen alone to make the work are too late, so they can only hire experienced craftsmen from the capital to work together. This also requires a lot of money!"

For ordinary people, anyone can do this job, but when the royal family hires people to do the work, can anyone do it?

Furthermore, ordinary people can just give the market price to their lovers for work, but when the royal family hires people to do the work, can you just give them the market price?

Doesn’t that mean that the royal stuff is on the same level as the stuff on the street?

Many times, high prices are forced because of status and status.

"Sister-in-law, if you say so, aren't we, the royal family, being taken advantage of?"

After hearing what Xie Zixian said, Princess Huanxi felt that the royal family was just being taken advantage of.

"Silly girl, how can you say that?"

Xie Zixian chuckled, "You can look at the carvings of ordinary people's homes, and then look at the carvings of royal palaces. They are definitely different!"
