Lucky Star Gao Zhao

Chapter 722

After Gao Zhao returned to the house, he kept thinking about the station.

The post station is an ancient place for people who transmit palace documents and military information or for officials to board and lodging and exchange horses on the way.

The post station belongs to the government, and officials can pay for it for free, while the escort agency belongs to private logistics, and you have to pay for it yourself.

This can take advantage of loopholes, and some officials of the imperial court have benefited from it for personal gain.

There will be businessmen, nobles, and even monks who travel, and they can use money to obtain qualification certificates for post stations.

In this way, the increasing reception cost of the post station has caused a heavy financial burden on the court.

This corruption was extremely common at certain times.

Faced with such a situation, an official surnamed Liu in history wrote to the emperor to rectify the station.

The simple and quick method for officials surnamed Liu is layoffs.He told the emperor that if such measures were implemented, the imperial court could save 80 taels of silver a year and greatly reduce the local burden.Of course the emperor was happy, and he carried it out vigorously.

One year later, the effect of saving silver was remarkable, and the cost was reduced by 80 taels.

The saved silver may not be used on the common people, but it offended a large group of high and low officials who were making money, and also made tens of thousands of post station workers lose their jobs.

Amid the scolding by all the officials, the official surnamed Liu resigned and returned to his hometown, and soon died of depression.When the coffin was transported to Shandong, the family could not even hire one person, so it was stored in a hotel and could not be buried in the village for many years.

This is to cut off one's wealth is like killing one's parents.

The reason why Gao Zhao knew this was because he had heard a course in his previous life. The teacher who gave the lecture was very humorous.

A courier boy who was laid off was looking for a job, but he was eyeing the job of the emperor who made him laid off. He didn't expect him to do it. Although he worked for too short a time, he only became the emperor for 42 days.

Of course, the demise of a dynasty cannot be caused by the post station and this courier brother, but freezing three feet does not happen in a day. Once the corruption is formed, if it is not stopped, one day it will bring disaster.

That's why Gao Zhao said to Mr. Jia that time, to dig out the large and small canker sores.

According to Lord Qing, the prince also understands this problem, so he said it slowly.

It seems that the in-laws return home not only to worship the ancestors, but to use this as an excuse to do something.

Gao Zhao didn't think she would be very capable, and what she could do with this problem that has been difficult to solve for thousands of years in history.

She doesn't have enough ability or brains, so she should be obedient and do whatever she is asked to do.

To be honest, I was a little excited, but I was "doing something big" anyway, not eating and drinking, marrying and having children, eating and drinking until I was old, it was not a waste of a trip.

"Wait once in a thousand years, wait for a time in a thousand years, I have no regrets, who asked me to go to Fujian to sing lurking..."

Gao Zhao Kang, who was singing and humming, rolled up and down a few times, getting ready to sleep.

Outside the door, Xianglan asked Second Grandma if she was asleep, and Gao Zhao let her in.

"Second Mistress, Tao Fu's mother said today that people who have never been on a boat will get seasick. Second Mistress, what should I do if I get seasick?"

Gao Zhao got up and said, "Then spit it out."

Pandan pouts, Gao Zhao looks at it twitching, the girl pouts so cute, and Panlan pouts very cartoonish.

"I'm used to it when I spit it out. Is Second Mistress going to say this?"

Gao Zhao giggled, "Pang Lan also knows me."

"Second Mistress, let's dream tonight to see if there is a good way to cure seasickness. In case of seasickness, slaves will not be able to serve Second Mistress."

"If you say you are dreaming, you are dreaming."

Seeing that Xianglan was about to turn her mouth into a cartoon again, Gao Zhao hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll have a dream tonight, and I dreamed that the Bodhisattva gave me a home remedy."

Xiang Lan stopped pouting and grinned, "Thank you Second Mistress, the slaves are on duty tonight."

Nice to hear what Second Mistress said at night.I really wanted to tell my second grandma that she could talk in her dreams at night, but my aunt told me that she was talking to a Bodhisattva, and she must not say it out loud, or the Bodhisattva would not come in the future.

It's a pity that the second grandma didn't speak in her dream tonight.

Early the next morning, Princess Pingwu sent someone to come to Lingxu Temple to offer incense.

Gao Zhao hurried to Rongxi Hall after breakfast, and after waiting for a while, the princess mother-in-law came out from the back room, fully dressed, Gao Zhao stepped forward to help, and Nanny Zhou took a step forward.

Sorry, I really want to show my filial piety.

The second master didn't go, and Gao Zhao didn't dare to ask more questions, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to burn incense and pray before going out.

The two of them were sitting in the same car, with square faces facing each other. Princess Pingwu felt strange that Gao Zhao didn't have anything to say this time.

In the past when the two were alone, Princess Pingwu could feel that her daughter-in-law always had nothing to say, so she tried not to be cold, but what happened today?

How did Gao Zhao know that the princess mother-in-law was guessing her, she got in the carriage, remembered Xianglan's question last night, and tried to think about whether there was a folk remedy for motion sickness and seasickness in her previous life.

Because I don't get motion sickness or seasickness, I don't remember it, I just remember to eat ginger, and there is something stuck in the belly button, what is it posted?

Can not remember.

Looking up and seeing the scrutinizing eyes of the princess mother-in-law, Gao Zhao asked ghostly, "Mother, are you seasick?"

Princess Pingwu was stunned for a moment, then said calmly: "I have never been on a boat before."

Gao Zhao was embarrassed, "I was just wondering if there is anything that can relieve seasickness."

Princess Pingwu nodded, seeing that she was thinking about something.

Gao Zhao said again: "I don't get seasick."

Then he explained: "I think so, definitely not seasick."

Halo!I have never been on a boat here, so I just said that I am not seasick, I am sick.

Princess Pingwu looked at her daughter-in-law's incoherent speech, and felt that she was somewhat nervous about herself, but few people were not nervous about her.

To be honest, Gao Zhao has not yet adapted to how to get along with this mother-in-law. Every time he does it deliberately, he feels so unnatural.

Let's also play silence is golden.

Speechless all the way.

When he arrived at the temple, Gao Zhao thought that the princess mother-in-law would at least come to clear the place, but he didn't expect that he would enter the gate, enter the hall, burn incense and kowtow like ordinary pilgrims.

Gao Zhao kowtowed piously, wishing them a smooth trip this time, wishing their family members good health, and wishing her a sweet relationship with the second master.

It was when he came out of a hall that he met Mrs. You, Mrs. Lu Guogong's wife and mother.

Strangely, the two looked at each other, and Mrs. You blessed the princess, but did not speak.

Gao Zhao thought it was strange, so he turned around to see, yes, it was Mrs. You.

Then why did the two walk past each other without talking?
What happened?

On the way back, Gao Zhao couldn't help asking.

"Mother, is it the mother of Mrs. Lu Guogong that you saw in the temple just now?"

Gao Zhao, who was waiting for the princess mother-in-law to say yes, heard her mother-in-law say no, she was surprised, just dazzled?

"That's Mrs. Cai, Mrs. You's older sister."

I understand, if it's not twins, then the sisters are very similar. Gao Zhao has seen a pair of sisters before. They are two or three years apart, and they will admit their mistakes.
