Concubine's poisonous plot

Chapter 170 The different opinions of the Ministry of Revenue

"Princess, the prince went to Aunt Li's place tonight..."

In Cui's room, Mammy made a sound.

"Oh, I see."

Cui didn't have any jealousy, and she was already tired of King An.

She knew that men in this era who could only fall in love with one person were almost extinct, but in this position, they were still so lustful that they were really annoying.

Fortunately, the Emperor and the Queen Mother have been suppressing him these years, otherwise King An would have caused a lot of trouble.

"There is no trouble on Concubine Tian's side, but the people in that courtyard are a little dishonest."

It was no surprise to Ms. Cui. After following Concubine Tian for many years, those people had already considered themselves superior to others.

"Tomorrow I will go to the prince and ask for the deeds of everyone in the palace. There is no reason why, if there is a princess in the palace, these things should be placed in the hands of a grounded concubine."

Ms. Cui has always been a steady and organized person.

After hearing this, the mama nodded repeatedly: "The princess has good tricks...but the prince's yard..."

"Don't worry about it there. That courtyard is either the crown prince's confidant, or the eldest princess gave it to the crown prince's concubine. We are not qualified to ask for a physical contract. We still have to grasp the appropriateness."

Early the next morning, Shu Yunzhao did not rest, but went to check the final finishing situation of the nursing home.

She wanted to let those people move in as soon as possible, but she also wanted to ensure the safety of the place.

They are all elderly people. She didn't build this nursing home just to gain fame.

"Prince Princess, the things here look really strange..." Ruofeng looked at it and found it interesting.

Her character is full of curiosity, and she usually doesn't reveal too much because she has to fulfill her responsibilities. But now that she saw so many novel things, she really couldn't help it.

Shu Yunzhao thought of letting them try it first. In his own time, these instruments were very popular among the elderly.

"This is for back exercise, you can try it..."

Shu Yunzhao explained how to use these things, including those for the waist and abdomen, endurance, grip strength, and arms. All aspects were sound.

"Prince Concubine, why do you think these people are not here to support themselves in old age, but to enjoy their blessings?" Ruofeng said excitedly.

Ruohua and the others have also tried it. Every facility is safe and the workmanship is really good.

Shu Yunzhao took them to check the canteen, the accommodation, and of course the infirmary.

As people age, they will inevitably have more physical problems, so they must pay more attention to them.

"These details are all very good..." Ruoxue gave her own evaluation calmly.

Even she, who has always been calm, can be so optimistic that this project can be accepted.

Shu Yunzhao thought that if the news that this place was completed and properly arranged was reported, those in the palace who had already started training could come over tomorrow to practice, and three days later, they would be able to pick up the old people.

Thinking that the project she had been busy with for nearly a month was finally completed, she felt particularly fulfilled.

In the palace, the emperor was thinking about another thing.

In the early morning, Zhao Jie and others from the Northern Jin Dynasty came specially to talk about their ideas for trade and some requirements.

The courtiers did not discuss a satisfactory plan at that time, which would definitely take time.

Returning to the palace, he summoned several ministers to discuss the matter in the imperial study.

"This trade is bound to be feasible. What needs to be determined now is which three cities should be opened up. After the trade there, to what extent the taxes must be reduced to attract enough merchants to settle in. Since it is going to be opened, there must be more cities in the future. There is a permanent garrison. How many people are needed? Whether they will be transferred directly from the border defense or selected from the DPRK to lead the team. All these details will be given to me in detail."

The emperor's request has been implemented to every detail, and now it depends on whether they can do it.

As the Minister of Household Affairs, Lu Jingzhi must be present.

His idea is relatively old-fashioned. He said that since the other party has proposed their open city, they can just choose the one with the corresponding geographical location. As for taxes, there is no need to reduce or reduce them. After all, there are business opportunities there and they must be full of opportunities. Not only that, there should be open recruitment, and competition is needed to get there, otherwise you won’t be qualified...

The more he spoke, the more the other ministers felt that he only cared about money, but he was not really thinking about the people from the beginning to the end.

The purpose of trade is to make people's lives better. He seemed to be talking about making rich people richer...

Also from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Minister Du Qian's idea was more practical. He said that taxation was related to the national treasury and people's livelihood. Although the border areas bordered the Northern Jin Dynasty, they were relatively barren. If there was a sudden need for trade and recruiting merchants, no one might dare to bet on it. , if we want to think about the role of encouragement, we should let them see the benefits and not give up despite the difficulties. The key point is to find ways to mobilize the local people and businesses so that in the future they will not become rich just because they are all outsiders. produce bad thoughts.

Lu Jingzhi looked at him and seemed a little dissatisfied.

This is obviously a different opinion from his own. They are also from the Ministry of Accounts. Are they trying to compete with their immediate superiors?

Du Qian did not look at him, but looked at the emperor with a frank look.

The emperor thought for a while and said: "What Lu Shangshu said makes sense. Once trade is opened, there will be many business opportunities there."

Just when Lu Jingzhi was about to feel proud, the emperor continued: "What Shilang Du said is indeed more realistic. For the people, before they have done business and before they can make money, they start thinking about how to get them to take out the money. This is not It’s what our court should do.”

Lu Jingzhi felt ashamed for a moment, as if he was connoting himself.

The emperor probably thought of this, and deliberately pulled back: "Lu Shangshu's intention is good. He understands the situation of the treasury in recent years. There are many places where money is needed. If he hadn't been careful with his calculations, some things would have been impossible to complete. . There is no right or wrong between the two of them, only whether the method is appropriate. They are both considering me, Daxia, and deserve praise."

Lu Jingzhi's heart finally came back.

The next focus of everyone's discussion is the final city division, and the parts that need to be confirmed with the Northern Jin Dynasty.

These things cannot be discussed in a short time. The emperor specially prepared meals for them and kept them in the palace.

When Xiao Jinyao's coupon was delivered, they were still discussing.

When the emperor heard that it was a matter involving a nursing home, he became interested at that time and started the matter directly in front of all the ministers.

"Okay, okay, very good. You can move into the nursing home in three days. Yao'er and Yunzhao have done another great thing for us in Daxia that the people want!"
