Rebirth of the original wife

Chapter 489

When the cabinet ministers saw it, they were puzzled, but after they realized it, they looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while. How could they fill the emptiness of the treasury? The old man took the lead to stand up, "Your Majesty, there is no shortage of rich people in Beijing. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have low status. There are many businessmen who have money and want to be officials. If not, compare the vacancies of officials in various prefectures." , You can donate irrelevant positions, and at that time, there must be a lot of people scrambling to get them."

This method can indeed solve the immediate urgent need. Emperor Renchong shook his head in disapproval. He wanted to promote and reuse many people. If those positions were donated, wouldn’t it be a joke for businessmen to see the royal family? Besides, when the first emperor was in power He was extremely disgusted with this kind of thing, and he didn't dare to do something that would insult the face of the royal family.

"Han Ge's method is not feasible, but there are other ways?"

Afterwards, another old elder proposed to increase taxes and corvees. This is the most direct and effective way. Before he finished speaking, Emperor Ren Chong interrupted, "I said what I said that day, and now I am going back on it. Where is the face, but there are others?"

Qin Mu closed his eyes and thought for a long time. The treasury is empty and they really can't do anything. However, there is still a way to get through the disaster relief. The Wu family was ransacked, and there must be a lot of money found. The emperor's treasury is empty. None, but the expenditures of various ministries will be in short supply next year.

Emperor Renchong's eyes fell on Qin Muyin, and for a moment, he looked away. Finally, an old elder said what the emperor meant, "Anyuan County has been drought for three years, and the An family is violent, and the people are living in In dire straits, if the emperor asks the people in the court to donate money to those who have money, and donate clothes and food to those who don’t have money, most of the people in Beijing are simple and honest, after all, they will definitely be able to raise a lot.” He didn’t mention anything about the state treasury .

Emperor Ren Chong's face brightened, "Qin Aiqing, what do you think?"

Qin Muyin agreed in his heart, bowed and saluted, "Old Man Ge is right, the humble minister bears the brunt of it, and is willing to give 2 taels of silver, a hundred dans of grain, and a hundred quilts."

Hearing this, the faces of the elders at the scene couldn't hold back anymore, even the elder Ge who spoke first changed slightly, but Emperor Ren Chong was very happy, "Okay, let's start from the cabinet, the Earl's Mansion."

Qin Ziyun got it and immediately arranged it, and everything in the palace was kept simple. However, Yunjin Palace still used the usual expenses. Concubine Han Guifei got the news and was furious with her big belly and wanted to go to the emperor to cry. She has a big belly now. Concubine Jin was restrained, there was no one around her, and Han Meng did not enter the palace anymore, she sent someone to ask about the Han family, but the situation was not very good, in the Han family, she had a high position, but the old lady of the Han family looked down on her Hers, besides, the Han family also has a married pro-daughter, Mrs. Han thinks it is better to rely on the pro-daughter than to curry favor with Concubine Han, so when Concubine Han appealed to the emperor, she called Elder Han Ge.

Mr. Han Ge didn't give much care to this daughter since she was a child, and he valued Han Meng later as compensation to Concubine Han. After all, he was a child of the Han family. Mr. Han would not put all his hopes on Concubine Han, but neither would he. Let Concubine Han Gui not fawn on her.

Therefore, Concubine Han Guifei sent him a letter saying that she was asking him to go to Zhaoyang Palace. Although he was puzzled in his heart, he also went. If Concubine Han Guifei had a prince in her stomach, it would be the second prince next to the eldest prince, and there was little hope of becoming a heir. However, Feng Wang couldn't run away. With the Marquis of Yongping in front of him, Han Ge knew in his heart that people can't ask for more. He only hoped that one day, the Han family could have a title.

When Concubine Han rushed into Zhaoyang Hall, the emperor was looking at the booklet handed over by the household department, which detailed which official donated how much, Qin Muyin donated a lot before, and the people below dared not do less, especially the cabinet ministers With the six ministers, Qin Muyin can do this without a title. They donate less, and if it spreads out, it will only make people laugh. Looking at the numbers on the booklet, Emperor Ren Chong smiled.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your concubines. The empress confiscated the concubines and the children in their womb." Concubine Han Guifei followed the people into Zhaoyang Hall, accusing the queen loudly. Even if the eunuchs and maids in the palace were blocking her, they did not dare to pull her head-on, so she got into the hall.

The smile on Emperor Ren Chong's face froze with Concubine Han's voice, and said coldly, "Who allowed you to come in? Are all the eunuchs of His Highness dead?"

Concubine Han Guifei knelt on the ground and began to cry. Emperor Ren Chong's stiff face sank, and Concubine Han Guiyou didn't know it, and she still complained, "Your majesty, you have to make decisions for your concubines. The empress doesn't know what to do." There is something wrong with it, even the Xueyan ginseng that is usually used in Osmanthus Palace has been replaced, not to mention that even the maids of Osmanthus Palace are less frequent, it is clearly because the concubine has a big belly and dare not confront her to bully the minister The concubine is on her head."

Emperor Renchong put down the booklet, and the good mood brought by the booklet was completely gone. Qin Ziyun had told him about this behavior. When mentioning the Osmanthus japonica Palace, the queen hesitated a little. Considering that Concubine Han Gui was pregnant, she still He made a final decision, except for the Yunjin Palace, all other expenses were halved.

With a cold face, the emperor squinted at the father-in-law standing next to him. The father-in-law turned around and called the little eunuch to bring a pot of freshly brewed tea. After pouring a cup of tea, the outside said that Han Ge was begging to see him. The father-in-law put the teacup in Emperor Ren Chong's hand calmly, and Emperor Ren Chong laughed meaningfully, very lightly, "Han Ge I must have something urgent when I get old, so hurry up and announce it."

Hearing the words "Han Ge Lao", Concubine Han has the backbone in her heart. She is from the Han family, and Han Ge Lao will definitely help her. Concubine Han Gui has been kneeling on the ground for a long time, and her legs feel uncomfortable. The queen taught her a lesson, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
