Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 811 It's time for Zhao Roujia to get married

"What your mother said is that marrying into Fan's family should lead to prosperity. A gift of [-] guan is not enough. Anyway, the treasury is not short of money. It is always good to use more." Zhao Chen also feels very sorry for Zhao Roujia and will not be wronged. girl.

Zhu Lian smiled and said: "We should try our best to use the money from the internal treasury, otherwise the household department and the Taifu Temple will make trouble again. If you don't listen, you can listen, but I can't stand them."

Zhao Chen's face was unhappy, and he said unhappily: "These embarrassing measures are serious. On weekdays, the royal family spends a penny, as if they took it out of their pockets. Overwhelmed, to expand the warehouse, even the money rope is rotten, and there is no money to offer, it is disgusting."

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Wang Xiu's full support for maritime merchants, the implementation of overseas expansion policies and the encouragement of private industry and commerce have greatly increased the income of the imperial court. In addition, the southeast has not suffered from military disasters, small bandits have been quickly quelled, and the economy has been greatly improved. Leap-forward development, last year's taxation exceeded the highest income since the founding of the country.

This year, it is obvious that it will reach a new peak, surpassing [-] million is no problem.

Don't doubt that the country has always been peaceful and stable in agriculture and sang, the country is rich in industry and commerce, and the country is strong in military affairs. When a sea ship returns, it is the tax of a hundred fertile fields. How many ships are there?This very simple arithmetic can be understood by anyone who is not an idiot.

What's more, the founding philosophy of the Song Dynasty is very unique, and it does not exclude businessmen. On the contrary, outstanding financial ministers of the imperial court emerge in endlessly.

However, even though his family and country continued to become rich, Wang Xiu still insisted on being frugal, and the mainstream of the ruling and opposition parties also agreed very much, agreeing that the money should be used to recover lost land or where it should be used, instead of unrestrained royal construction. valuable.

Scholars’ ideas are very unique. Some people oppose Wang Xiu, some people support Wang Xiu, but they do not completely support and oppose. They all agreed with his proposition, and gradually improved the financial system, which made it very inconvenient for Zhao Chen to use money and food from foreign courts, which aroused his extreme dissatisfaction, and secretly scolded the ministers of foreign courts more than once in private.

In fact, Wang Xiu and many scholars have something in common in their philosophies, that is, to learn from the shortcomings of the innovations of the past dynasties and try their best to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Zhu Lian frowned slightly, and said bluntly: "Officials, that's all Fengchun money, which needs to be accumulated every year. It is used to govern the country and reward officials. It is a happy event for the country, although it cannot be done hastily, but the money in Taicang should not be used as much as possible, and the money in the internal treasury is safer!"

"Da Nei spends a lot of money every day. How much money does the internal treasury have? I'm afraid it will be difficult to spend a million." Zhao Chen felt that he was very shameless. The emperor couldn't even move foreign money. Can he still be called the emperor?Of course, it's not impossible to move at all, as long as he is very tough, Wai Chao will still compromise, but with Wang Xiu present, Wai Chao has a lot of excuses, and relatively less than what he wants.

"Millions, that much?" Zhu Lian was taken aback. He didn't expect Zhao Chen to be so generous, and he said it with a million words, without any effort.

Seeing Zhu Lian's surprise, Zhao Chen also felt that Haikou was exaggerating, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is just such a princess, how can she be wronged for nothing, and the purchase fee is 20 guan, the reward is 50 guan, and the gift fee is 30 guan. It's not a loss."

"Officials, we'll talk about this later." Zhu Lian didn't expect her son to be so generous. Although the amount was huge, she was also a little moved. She strongly opposed it, and Shilin was causing quite a disturbance, and she couldn't help but have some scruples.

Last time, when the Yuyang Palace was being built, there were also voices of dissuasion, saying that it was not appropriate to build large-scale construction projects at the beginning of the country. She almost got angry with those people. In the future, if the land price rises and builds, it is better to take advantage of the cheapness now and waste less money.

However, the marriage of a princess is different from building a palace. The imperial court has a custom, and the dowry reward is [-] guan. Few princesses in the past have exceeded the standard.

With the perfection of the system of admonishment and rumors, scholars used to refute the emperor's faults as a way to raise his prestige, so that the emperor was unwilling to be seized and refuted by others on minor matters. That is, Zhao Ji gave 20 Guan dowry.It was the first time that the princess of the Shu Kingdom made an exception when she got married, and that was also when Neiku took [-] more.

There was 120 reluctance in Zhao Chen's heart, but since Zhu Lian said to discuss it later, he didn't dare to contradict him face to face.

"What's going on in Fuguo?" Zhu Lian suddenly thought of Zhao Duofu, who was summoned for questioning that day, and was immediately put under house arrest, and Zongzheng interrogated him personally.

Zhao Chen's face changed obviously, and he said sternly: "I just admitted that she was instigated by the old palace people, because she was born like an aunt, so she took the risk to seek wealth."

"How courageous! There are people so similar in the world, even I was kept in the dark." Zhu Lian was really surprised.

"That's right, I'm really angry. I've kept it a secret for so many years. It should be cut to death." Zhao Chen was also very angry. There are very few close royal families, namely King Kang, Princess Fuguo and Princess Dachang. , he treats these imperial uncles very close, and every time he rewards them a lot, and gives them a lot of courtesy. Thinking about the people he has treated for so many years, they turned out to be fakes.

"Okay, the officials can handle it on their own. We should all learn a lesson and be on guard against villains. Whether it is pretending to be Huanhuan or using the fourth sister to frame the husband, the officials need to be more careful." Zhu Lian said with sincerity.

Zhao Chen was taken aback, it was not impossible, someone could pretend to be the eldest princess to gain wealth, so it was inevitable that they would use their appearance to point a deer into a horse.However, he still couldn't accept it. In short, the words were not speculative, and he felt very boring. He chatted with Zhu Lian for a few more words, and then returned to the palace.

After Zhao Chen retreated, Zhu Lian faintly felt that his son was unhappy. Too many things happened these days, and state affairs and family affairs came one after another, which made people really upset.

She decided to talk to Wang Xiu to see if she could persevere a little longer and at least meet her son's request. Millions are impossible, but hundreds of thousands can still be given away!The most important thing is to ease the conflict between father and son. What you just said is not in vain.

However, she also vaguely knew that Wang Xiu's control over the system was very strict, which could almost be said to be the bottom line.

"Zhang Quan, what's the outside reaction to the terms of the peace talks?"

Zhang Quan has been through the world for a long time, so he doesn't understand Zhu Lian's thoughts, but he really didn't give her a satisfactory answer, so he could only repeat what was almost the same as yesterday.
