This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 208 Difficulties
Wen Ruyan was sitting there with the old god at first, but when he suddenly felt the eyes on the stage, he couldn't help but turned his head and looked up, and ended up looking affectionately at his father.

Wen Ruyan's eyes were surprised, and the corners of his eyebrows twitched slightly, as if he was asking, "What are you looking at me for?" '

Zhou Tianzi's eyes were strange, as if he was saying, "This crossword puzzle, you guess it!" '

'Are you kidding, how can I guess? '

'Don't tell me if you can't guess your affairs! '

'Are you a bit ruthless? '

'I lost you for so many years, how can I forgive you if I don't earn back some face? '

'.'

After a while of eye contact, Wen Ruyan was finally defeated.

His own father is now holding his lifeline, as long as he wants to marry the two daughters, he will definitely not be able to avoid this mountain.

Wen Ruyan shook his head helplessly, then blurted out a word lightly.

"Gliding."

As soon as he finished speaking, a satisfied smile appeared on Zhou Tianzi's face.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice in the audience immediately patted his thigh, and then said loudly: "Second, second!"

Everyone naturally heard this answer. Thinking about it seriously, isn't it just this word?Such a difficult anagram, yet someone actually guessed it.

Oh no, wait a minute, where did the voice come from just now?

When everyone thought of this, they immediately followed the source of the voice in surprise.

I saw Wen Ruyan sitting there upright, looking at his nose and heart with his eyes.

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing guessed the crossword puzzle just now?" The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment turned his head and asked blankly at the assistant minister who he had done.

The waiter was dumbfounded.

"seems like it."

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing still has this ability?"

"Did we hear wrong?"

Wen Ruyu looked at the surprised eyes of everyone in the audience, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

My second brother is indeed very powerful.

Eunuch Cheng naturally heard the whispers among the officials below the stage, and he smiled and said, "The answer given by His Royal Highness King Jing is correct!"

As soon as he said this, the audience immediately exploded.

"Your Highness really guessed it."

"Is it fooled?"

"Can you show me one?"

"His Royal Highness, the prime minister's young master, and such a talented young man, none of them could guess the answer to this riddle, but His Royal Highness Prince Jing guessed it?"

"Could someone guess it and tell him?"

"There are so many people who haven't guessed it. Who will tell him? Do you still think that His Majesty told him the answer? His Majesty would not do that. Besides, how can there be anyone else around him?"

The eyes of all civil and military officials fell on Wen Ruyan, as if they saw something extraordinary.

Ye Hongyuan, the household servant, stared blankly at Wen Ruyan. For some reason, an inexplicable feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. This feeling was inexplicable, but it was a little uncomfortable after all.

The little eunuch brought His Majesty's reward to Wen Ruyan. Wen Ruyan took a closer look and found that there were two identical white jade hairpins on it. As a member of the royal family, how could he fail to recognize the two hairpins? The fineness is extremely high-level, and this is an accessory worn by women.

Wen Ruyan figured it out now, these two hairpins were probably prepared for Xiao Xiao and Ling Wei, it turned out that his father had made up his mind from the very beginning to let himself show his face today, even if Since I didn't meet his eyes just now, he will definitely find a way to force himself to stand out. He really thinks highly of himself, and he's not afraid that he won't be able to figure it out.

Although it surprised all civil and military officials, it was only a small matter after all.

After the crossword puzzle was over, the descendants of the hundred officials got up and left one after another, and went to the side hall, where they gathered with their mothers and sisters. Maybe they could meet the daughters of other big families here. Not allowed.

Without them, Zhengyang Hall suddenly became much deserted, not as lively as before.

Wen Ruyan also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Tianzi and asked him to stay here obediently and not to leave.

Although Wen Ruyan was a little puzzled, there was nothing he could do. Who would let someone be the emperor?It's my own father again, if you don't listen to him, listen to someone else.

Zhou Tianzi raised his cups with the officials a few more times, and then said: "The problem that Zhang Qing mentioned a few days ago, you might as well go on and talk about it again today."

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang, Minister of the Household Department, immediately got up and said, "Your Majesty, the Household Department's finances are tight now, and winter is approaching now. The Huns in the north may invade our border at any time. Once a war breaks out, there will be a lot more people." Refugees need a large amount of inventory to settle them, and sending troops to suppress them requires a lot of military pay. With the current state of the household department, if it really reaches this point, there will inevitably be some shortages, so this question , must be resolved as soon as possible.”

As soon as he finished speaking, many civil and military officials nodded. This is indeed the most important event at the moment.

Even the general Yang Zhong had a solemn face. He had been guarding the northern border for many years, so he naturally knew what it would mean if a war broke out. If the treasury was lacking, the foundation of the country would be shaken if he was not careful. This issue should not be delayed.

Wen Ruyan frowned slightly after listening.

He also knew that the household department was really not crying for poverty. He had been away from Yanjing for so long. state.

A feudal society is always a feudal society, and it will never escape the status quo that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Even if the poor work hard and desperately, they are just making money for the rich. In the end, very few can fall into their hands. This world is still somewhat different from the previous life. In this world, feudal thinking is too If it is too rich, the poor will never have a chance to stand up for a lifetime. They don’t even have a piece of land of their own. The so-called poverty is no more than three generations. It may mean that the poor have reached the third generation and cannot support themselves, let alone marry a wife. After giving birth to a child, the incense will naturally be cut off.

The reason why the Ministry of Households is tight is because seven or eight out of ten of the tax-paying land in Dazhou are in the hands of the rich, and what they have to do is to try their best to refuse to pay taxes. Those who came up were only one-twelfth of the tax that should be paid on their own land.

People's livelihood is the most important thing.

However, it is not easy to solve this problem. This problem has been encountered in all dynasties. As long as this problem cannot be solved, how can the community survive forever?
"This problem has been going on for several days. Have you ever thought of any way to solve this problem?"

All officials are silent.

After a while, the servant who was sitting under the Minister of the Household Department suddenly stood up and lowered his head and said cautiously: "Should we increase some taxes appropriately?"

"No!"

"No!"
