The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 217

"Qing'er, it's great to meet you." Chu Qianhan revealed his true feelings.

Shangguan Qing leaned into Chu Qianhan's arms and said softly, "Me too, it's great to meet you."

The young lovers snuggle together, they don't hear anything outside the window, they don't see the troubles of the world, and the turmoil of the wind and clouds can't keep the love between them.

There was a lot of discussion about the "Succession Act", and there was a lot of discussion about this matter in the market.

Problems soon surfaced. The "Succession Act" completely calculates the order of succession according to blood, which will gradually weaken the royal family's force, and may eventually lead to a situation where the princes of the world keep ordering each other to be kings.As Shangguan Qing said, breaking the old order may not necessarily lead to progress, but may result in catastrophic destruction.

Chu Qianhan finally realized this, and the court was in complete chaos.

Shangguan Qing was also affected. Some people impeached that the Jiangzaosi iron factory was billowing black smoke every day, which destroyed the feng shui and luck of the capital, and that the iron factory should be moved away from the capital.Shangguan Qing originally planned to relocate the iron factory, but ignored this wave of attacks, Chu Qianhan stayed for a few days and then returned to Qiongya Military Prefecture, where Chu Qianhan left, another round of attacks against the craftsman Attacks ensued.

Some local officials included pirated salt rolls in the taxes handed over to the Ministry of Households, which was found out by the Ministry of Households, involving 20 shi of forged salt rolls.Immediately, someone impeached that the salt rolls printed by the craftsman were too complicated for local officials to distinguish, and requested that all salt rolls be abolished and the use of salt rolls be used to stabilize the situation in the world, as if as long as the salt rolls were popularized, the world would be in chaos.

Chu Huaitian urgently invites Shangguan Qing to the palace for an audience.

Shangguan Qing changed into a military general's court uniform in front of him, with a black dragon sword hanging on his waist, and walked directly into the Dongnuan Pavilion, and saw the emperor Chu Huaitian sitting on the dragon chair with a sullen face, Shangguan Wenhe was standing in the first place below, Hubu Shangshu Wang Qiushan, Chu Huaizhong promoted by the Clan Mansion, King Xuan Chu Jixuan, and the new Yushitai promoted Xiang Fei and several unfamiliar ministers.

The former censor, Xu Liang, failed to promote Xu Liang to impeach Shangguan Qing. Instead, he was slapped and passed out by Shangguan Qing. He had resigned years ago and returned home.

Xiang Fei is making a fierce statement, exaggerating the great harm of the new salt army.

After Shangguan Qing came in, Xiang Fei looked over triumphantly. In his opinion, this time Shangguan Qing must be demoted, and women who shouldn't exist will be kicked out of the court.

Chu Huaitian picked up a memorial and passed it from Sun Qu to Shangguan Qing. Shangguan Qing read it quickly.

Chu Huaitian did not question Shangguan Qing, but said: "I called you here to tell them about the source of money, so that they can understand what money is."

"I obey the order." Shangguan Qing closed the memorial and understood.

Equivalent exchange, the concept of value is no longer a new term. Shangguan Qing stood in the middle of the Nuan Pavilion and explained Qian Yuan in simple and clear words. Most of the people present suddenly understood, only Xiang Fei shook his head and said: "No Your Majesty should use the ancient method with caution, or fly out of the salt rolls as soon as possible, and use Yanyin again."

Chu Huaitian ignored Xiang Fei's unreasonable troubles, and asked Shangguan Qing, "How should we punish privately printed salt rolls?"

"Salt rolls are banknotes issued by the imperial court. Maintaining the value of salt rolls is for the trust of the imperial court, so as not to let the imperial court lose its trust in the world. Printing salt rolls privately is not only stealing money, but also destroying the foundation of the court's trustworthiness and trapping the court in injustice. The situation, if things go on like this, will inevitably become the source of disaster.”

Xiang Fei rushed to say: "The abolition of salt rolls is imminent, please make an order from your Majesty."

Because Chu Qianhan went back to Qiongya, Shangguan Qing was in a bad mood, and said directly: "Printing salt rolls privately, trapping the court in an injustice, the crime is like treason, and the punishment should be based on the number of pirated copies. It can only be released after paying off the pirated salt rolls.”

Shangguan Qing stopped saying a very modern term, but she was soft-hearted after all, and didn't say that those who pirated the salt rolls would be killed.

"Reform through labor? It's interesting." Chu Huaitian didn't laugh, but said: "In the future, anyone who finds that the salt scrolls are stolen and printed exceeds [-] shi, and they will be punished. The three clans with more than a thousand stones and the nine clans with more than [-] stones will be punished."

Shangguan Qing could feel Chu Huaitian's murderous intent. As the emperor, Chu Huaitian paid more attention to the court's trustworthiness, and naturally he would not let go of actions that damage the court's trustworthiness.

"Your Majesty can't?" Xiang Fei hurriedly stopped loudly: "The mouth of the people is better than Fangchuan, but the dredging cannot be blocked. Only by abolishing the salt rolls can the disturbance at this moment be calmed down."

Wang Qiushan came out and accused: "Xiang Fei, you have also read the books of sages for more than ten years. Don't you understand the truth that people cannot stand without trust? Wanshengmin."

"The harm of salt rolls is to compete with the people for profit. You can see how many people can only eat light food during the New Year because of the harm of salt rolls, and how many middle-class families go bankrupt." Xiang Fei said with certainty.

Wang Qiushan asked: "Since this is the case, please give some evidence."

"Because of the release of salt rolls in the north of Beijing a few years ago, the salt goods in the north of Beijing area were hoarded by profiteers, causing the price of salt to skyrocket. Isn’t Yanjuan responsible for such a man-made disaster in the 500 years since the founding of Chu State?”

Chu Huaitian sat on the dragon chair, his mouth was filled with the bitter taste of too much salt.This year's New Year's Eve is not limited to the northern part of Beijing. Many areas outside the road are short of salt. He looked in the hall, but he didn't see the fourth prince Chu Qiankang who had done something stupid.He thought it was ridiculous when he thought about it. He really thought that the business was so easy to do, but he actually bought 100 million halite at a time.

Although he knew the truth, Chu Huaitian couldn't tell, so he heard Xiang Fei continue to say: "I received a letter from my family a few days ago, saying that the price of salt in the north of Beijing was ten times that of previous years, and a stone of salt cost [-] times." Silver, this is the price of official salt, in private, a stone of salt costs thirty silver a stone."

Xiang Feiyue became more excited when he said that, his monthly salary was twenty silver, ten shi rice and three jars of pickled vegetables, which was the least among the officials in the Beijing-China sequence.In the past, the imperial court would give some meat, food and drinks to the officials through offering sacrifices to the heavens. This year, Yushitai offended the Prime Minister. During the festival, there was only one chicken, one duck and a basket of cold steamed buns, as the items proposed by Yushitai. Fei got a duck head and a chicken head, and he threw it away when he turned around.

There were complaints from all over Yushitai. In previous years, whole heads of pigs, cattle and sheep were used to sacrifice to heaven at Yushitai. Even the subordinates could carry a few catties of meat home for the New Year. This year, they could only get half a cold steamed bun.

"It's all due to Shangguan's father and daughter, this pair of monsters who have harmed the country and the people, and Wang Qiushan, an old man who is working for tigers." Xiang Fei was full of resentment in his heart, and looked at Shangguan Wenhe, Shangguan Qing and Wang Qiushan like hungry wolves.

Xiang Fei said awe-inspiringly: "If you don't abolish the salt rolls, the world will be in trouble day and night, and the civil uprising is just around the corner."
