Silly Girl Allure

Chapter 214
Not to mention the arithmetic competition, I was able to complete all the questions without using the abacus, and it was still [-]% correct.

For one person to be able to support a tripod, if it weren't for the high level of skill and manpower, he would not be able to find any other reason.

"There are beauties in the north, who are peerless and independent. When you look at the city, you look at the country. Would you rather not know the city and the country? Beautiful women are hard to come by." Bu Jingyu chanted every word, his eyes full of admiration.

The emperor's eyes lit up, was this poem written by a woman?
Bu Jingyu said triumphantly, "Father, if you heard this poem, would you want to see that beautiful woman's demeanor?"

The emperor put down the chopsticks in his hand and clapped his hands: "Good poems, good poems, such a beautiful woman who doesn't know the beauty of the city and the country, it's hard to find a beautiful woman again."

Bu Jinghan also looked at Qiao Yunxi beside him in amazement, and held her hand under the table.

I knew that Qiao Yunxi was different from ordinary women, but I didn't expect that she was so talented.

It seemed that it was the right choice for her to participate in the female general selection competition.

"Father," Bu Jingyu lowered his head, pretending to be shy, "If your son falls in love with Miss Qiao, what do you think?"

The emperor's eyes were slightly startled, with a look of surprise on his face, "Xiao Jiu, you mean you..."

"Although Miss Qiao is not impressive, but with her talent and character, I believe she will definitely please you." Bu Jingyu continued.

Qiao Yunxi was a little ashamed, she just gave in to Jingyu to help her as a lobbyist, but she didn't expect that he would praise her so much in front of her face.

"Besides, Miss Qiao has a solid family background and outstanding character. She is not inferior to any prince." Bu Jingyu said.

The emperor didn't answer right away, but thought about it carefully, so it wouldn't do any harm to him.

Besides, Xiao Jiu has also reached the age of marriage, it's time to choose a concubine for him.

I'm afraid this woman is too strong and Xiao Jiu can't control her thoughts, but it's not impossible to be a side concubine.

The most important thing is to keep such talents by your side to avoid future troubles.

"Which Qiao's family is it? I will come to propose marriage for you." The emperor said with a smile, with a kind face on his face.

Bu Jingyu shook his head, "Father, it's not my son, but my fourth brother."

"Your fourth brother?" The emperor looked at Bu Jinghan in surprise, could it be that he was the one who fell in love with this woman?

"Yes, that Miss Qiao is my sister-in-law." Bu Jingyu said.

The words are not surprising and die endlessly.

The surprise in the emperor's eyes was replaced by joy. He never expected that this woman was Princess Chu.

"Your Majesty, Yunxi didn't report this matter to you immediately, please apologise." Qiao Yunxi stood up, lowered her head and said.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you should sit down first."

"It's all a family, so it's inevitable that we have our own little secret, so we can't talk about whether to blame or not." The emperor said, in fact, he was more happy about this matter, and he loved his fourth son the most. .

He was reliable and upright, and he was deeply in his favor.

And this woman turned out to be his own daughter-in-law, he really didn't expect it.

Bu Jinghan pulled Qiao Yunxi, asked her to sit down, and said, "Father, Yunxi has greeted me about this matter, and she was afraid that she would be wronged because of her identity, so she wanted to hide it and hide her identity." The strength has been shown, and when it is announced, no one will be able to gossip.”

The emperor nodded, "Yunxi is very thoughtful, it is really rare to be able to consider these things for everyone."

"Since your literary talent is outstanding, martial arts is not too bad, but I want to test you." A sharp light flashed in the emperor's eyes, "Tell me about the current problems and solutions in Jinling Kingdom."

According to his own understanding of the national conditions, Qiao Yunxi used the contents of his previous history class to apply: "The problems existing in the Jinling Kingdom can be summarized into three points: one is redundant soldiers. From the time of Taizu, there were 20 forbidden troops in the whole country. At that time, it increased to 44, and now it has a population of 80. Nearly [-]% of the people in Jinling State are serving as soldiers, that is to say, one out of every ten people must be an officer and soldier. It is conceivable that every year What a huge military expenditure.

The second is redundant officials: First, the bureaucracy of Jinling State overlaps and the official positions are chaotic. There is often a situation where three people appoint official positions.Second, more and more scholars are selected through the imperial examination, and the number of talents in the country increases, but there are often no vacancies for official positions, which will cause some talents to be dissatisfied with the status quo and look for other outlets.There is also the "en-yin" law implemented. The descendants, relatives, in-laws, and even retainers of the royal family and bureaucrats can be granted officials by grace.

The third is redundant: The surge in the number of troops and officials has also greatly increased the expenditure. At the same time, in the war against Nanzhao and Xizhao, the former rulers often paid a lot of gold, silver and cloth to buy money and wealth. For a while, all of this made for a tedious situation.

Your majesty, Yunxi is short-sighted, and she said little or wrongly, please don't blame me. "

The emperor's astonishment became deeper and deeper, for some reason, he actually believed the "feat" Bu Jingyu said.

Even Bu Jinghan next to Qiao Yunxi looked surprised. He originally thought that his wife was someone who didn't care about state affairs, but he didn't expect that she had a clear understanding of the current state of the country, and she analyzed it logically.

The emperor was not stingy with his praise, and said: "Your analysis is really to the point, but is there any solution?"

Qiao Yunxi thought for a while, and then said: "I have no specific solution. After all, this is a long-standing problem. It is impossible to solve it all at once. And if you want to solve the problem of redundant officials, you will inevitably offend a lot of people. officers. So it requires long-term planning.”

The emperor nodded after hearing this, "It really takes time to plan well."

"Yunxi," the emperor said, "from your analysis just now, I know that you are absolutely capable of making Jinling Kingdom change the current situation. Jing Yu is right, you are really a strange woman."

Qiao Yunxi suddenly remembered something, and said: "Your Majesty, Yunxi has something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"But it doesn't matter."

"It should be known that our Jinling Kingdom has a shortage of money, which cannot meet the needs of the people, especially the needs of merchants. If a country wants to be prosperous and strong, it must first solve this problem of money. And the shortage of silver in our Jinling Kingdom is already an unsolvable problem. There is a problem. It is impossible for us to conjure up a mountain of silver to meet the needs of the people. In fact, this silver is only used as an intermediate for business. People in ancient times used shells as an intermediate for this business. Therefore, for the prosperity of our country, Yunxi feels that we can issue a currency to replace this intermediate."

"Currency?" The emperor obviously became very interested in her words and asked.

"Yes, Yunxi called it Jiaozi." Qiao Yunxi suddenly remembered that the Jiaozi issued in the Song Dynasty was precisely to solve the problem of silver shortage for the country, and now, she can use it now. .

The emperor followed her and repeated, "Jiaozi?"

"Yunxi's humble opinion is that the strength of a country does not depend on how many troops it has or how many soldiers it has, but on how strong its economy is." Qiao Yunxi said.

"You mean, the economy helps the world?" Bu Jinghan, who was sitting next to Qiao Yunxi, said, this might be a way out, but it's just that he doesn't dare to use common sense yet.

Qiao Yunxi knows that the ancients did not value the role of the economy in the country, but as a person in the 21st century, she knows the importance of economic development to a country. If the Communist Party failed to open the country to the outside world and develop Special economic zones, then the pace of China's modernization may take an unknown number of years.

"The economy that Yunxi refers to includes the country or the country's merchant business and personal income and expenditure. When the country's income exceeds expenditure, the country can have surplus money to recruit soldiers; when the merchant's income exceeds expenditure, it can Develop your own business; when your personal income is greater than your expenditure, you will know how to serve the country. Your Majesty, you are the person who knows the current annual income and expenditure of our Jinling Kingdom best. Yunxi guesses that the income and expenditure are at most even. Let me ask, how can the imperial court have the money to strengthen itself? How can it not be bullied by Xizhao and Nanzhao? Therefore, as long as we develop the economy and let Jinling have the remaining money to develop itself, then we can stand in Jinling Stand still. Only we, the common people, can stand firm. After all, there is no country that comes from home."

The emperor's face was full of surprises, and he said appreciatively, "What a home without a country."

"And one of the keys to economic development is buying and selling. In order to conduct business smoothly, there must be a smooth intermediary. Now the shortage of money in Jinling Kingdom is well known. Only Jiaozi can solve this intermediary and uneconomical development. needs." Qiao Yunxi said.

"Then how do you think Jiaozi should be issued? How much should be issued, how can we prevent fake Jiaozi from appearing, and if there are too many issued, the problems will probably be more serious!" The emperor's words hit the nail on the head, But still encouraged her to continue talking.

"The imperial court can set up Jiaozi affairs to manage and issue Jiaozi. The issuance of Jiaozi involves the issue of coins, so the issuing factory of Jiaozi can be built on an uninhabited island, and the island is heavily guarded. Inside The anti-secrecy measures should also be done well. And by designing iconic marks on the Jiaozi that will not be imitated, the common people can identify the real and fake Jiaozi very well. As for the circulation of Jiaozi, you can use the bank , issue Jiaozi according to the deposits in the bank first. I think the emperor, you should know the role of the bank. It can allow the people to accept and use Jiaozi in the shortest time. And the bank can let the imperial court buy shares. In this way There will be a considerable amount of income every year. Similarly, the bank can also allow other people to buy shares, so that the expenses deposited in the bank can be temporarily controlled by the state." Qiao Yunxi said it in the style of RMB.

"Bank?" The emperor felt a little strange again.
