The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 344
"Your Majesty, think twice! Now that Your Majesty is taking the throne for the first time, it is time to win the hearts of the people and stabilize the country. It is really inappropriate to act against the hearts of the people now!"

The ministers tried their best to persuade them one by one, not to mention anything else, but to talk about themselves. No one has three wives and four concubines. There are a lot of sons and daughters. Concubine, how could they be willing.

The originally harmonious and beautiful family will be separated because of the queen's new rule. Whoever doesn't feel uncomfortable will be happy.

What's more, as long as there are some powerful families who don't have three wives and four concubines, the Queen's new policy has offended all the powerful families in Chenyang Kingdom. Can they not unite to resist?At that time, Chenyang Kingdom will definitely not live in peace.

"How did the ministers agree to me just now, and why did you forget it when you turned your head around?" Su Tang said unhurriedly, "Besides, don't I think of the problem you are worried about? I haven't said what I said yet. After all, how do you know it won't work?"

Use your brain to think about it and you will know it won't work!The ministers were all suffocated and dared not speak out. If the queen hadn't the ability to transfer food to solve Chenyang Kingdom's urgent needs, they probably couldn't help but drive Su Tang out as a demon concubine who would bring disaster to the country and the people.

"Queen, please speak!" The old minister suppressed the anger in his heart, and spoke with a pleasant face.

Who made the Queen capable? They didn't dare to go too far. The eyes of the Shence Army guarding outside were too scary.

"You guys know better than me what is going on in Chenyang Kingdom, even if there are Fufeng Trading Company and Tiansheng Trading Company selling food at low prices in the country, there will still be many people without food to eat.

Those people who live at the bottom, after these few months of lack of food and clothing, did not starve to death, and probably have little money left in their hands. No matter how low the price of food is, they still starve to death if they have no money to buy food share.

Unless the imperial court sends food to those poor people to help the poor, does the imperial court have any surplus grain to take out? "

As soon as Su Tang's words came out, the ministers immediately fell silent, and all of them shrank their heads like quails.

They know better than anyone else what the imperial court looks like now. After this civil strife, the imperial court has already clanged poorly.

Since the plague of locusts began a year ago in Chenyang Kingdom, there was a shortage of food in the country, and the tax revenue was greatly reduced. Later, in order to appease the people, the imperial court sent a lot of food to relieve the disaster, but unfortunately it was of no avail. .

Afterwards, the imperial court fought battles with the insurgents, and the treasury's silver and food were almost exhausted. Otherwise, the first emperor would not be ashamed to summon the person in charge of Tiansheng Commercial Bank in person, and wanted to get some food from other countries. Came over and was rejected.

Now if the imperial court is asked to bring out grain, if it is really brought out, not even a grain of grain can be brought out.

"The imperial court can't provide food, and the people at the bottom can't ignore it. Otherwise, the people will starve to death and freeze to death, the labor force will be reduced, no one will plow the fields, no food can be grown, and the tax revenue will be greatly reduced. Then when will Chenyang Kingdom In order to recuperate and restore the previous strength.

Faced with this problem, who among the ministers can come up with an idea and tell me how to solve it? " Su Tang continued.

This group of people will stick their heads out and yell, and when they really encounter problems, no one can be counted on.

"This... the empress is right, what should I do?" The ministers began to discuss countermeasures in whispers again.

"Most of the imperial court's annual tax revenue comes from the property taxes of the common people. If the farmers starve to death and no one is farming, this will directly affect the imperial court's income!"

"What should I do? The imperial court has no money or food now, what can I do, no matter how anxious the sky is, there will be no food!"

A penny is hard for a hero, not to mention that there are millions of farmers in Chenyang country, who are waiting for a morsel of food to save their lives.

"Look, my lord, why don't all the ministers donate all their own money, how many can be saved, anyway, the money of the ministers is useless at home, why don't you use it to do something good, just treat it as a gift I have accumulated blessings." Xiao Che said casually.

When the ministers heard this, how could this work, they all began to cry poorly.

"The old and the young in the minister's family are all waiting for this meager salary to support them. There is really no extra money!"

"The old minister has been an official for many years, and he has no wind in his sleeves, and his family doesn't have much money!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"..."

Xiao Che secretly scolded this group of old foxes, they are very skillful with their mouths, when it is their turn to do their best, let's see who shrinks fast, and how many of these hundred and eighty ministers can have a smooth hand, if you really go and find out, There is probably a lot of money hidden in the small cellar at home.

"As long as all the ministers agree, and fully support my palace to implement monogamy in Chenyang, I will help the people's food!" Su Tang said with extreme force.

Su Tang did have the confidence to do so. There would be no big problem with the food grown in Leng'an country for the millions of people in Chenyang country.

The yield of sweet potatoes per acre of land is dozens of stones, and the market in Leng Anguo is rich in food.

Fufeng Commercial Bank and Tiansheng Commercial Bank, the grain shops opened in Chenyang Country can solve the food problem of rich and noble families. Su Tang can still afford to help the remaining poor people, let alone helping the common people. Wife system plan.

The ministers were silent again, they were weighing the pros and cons, thinking about the impact of monogamy in Chenyang Kingdom, compared with the lack of food for the poor people, which is more important.

This empress is very capable, and she has challenged their bottom line every day. What is annoying is that they can only watch helplessly, who told them that the empress can get the food that they can't get!

"Ministers, rest assured, I know your concerns, and will not enforce it in Chenyang Kingdom, which will cause dissatisfaction and resistance from the rich and powerful. Monogamy and monogamy and multiple concubines will be implemented in Chenyang Kingdom at the same time. The common people are free to choose, if they still want to marry concubines and live the life they used to, no one will force them." Su Tang only now revealed his plan bit by bit.

Lu Xun once said that human nature always likes to compromise. For example, if you say that this room is too dark, you must open a window here, and everyone will definitely not allow it.

But if you advocate removing the roof, they will come to mediate and are willing to open the windows.

Without more drastic proposals, they would not even make peaceful reforms.

If Su Tang had told them from the beginning that monogamy and monogamy with multiple concubines were practiced together in Chenyang, they would definitely reject it straight away, thinking it was nonsense.
