Chapter 522

Chapter 279

"Graduate scholars submit the booklet, please camp in the mountain mausoleum." While peeling the oranges, Hongtong told his mother some news in a rambling manner.

Shujia calculated, "It's about time." The emperor and his wife were over [-] years old, and in this age when the average life expectancy was not very high, they were getting closer and closer to death, although Shujia didn't want to die at all.Furthermore, the construction of the imperial mausoleum was labor-intensive and time-consuming.If you want to build better, it is not too surprising to build it for more than ten or ten years.

It is too late to start building the mausoleum now.

Shujia said: "I'm afraid it's too expensive."

Hongtong laughed lightly: "This is a big deal, so what's the point of spending some money? Ama'eniang has worked hard all her life, so there is nothing to say. Now that the country is rich and powerful, the salt tax can be millions of dollars more than before, and the fire is wasting money." In addition to the Yanglian Bank that has been developed, there are hundreds of thousands left. Also, there is still a new policy that has not been fully implemented. What we have now is money.”

Shujia frowned and said, "It's not a good custom to burial generously." The better you bury, the more people will want to dig you up.

Hong Tong stopped entangled in this topic, looked down at his hands, his technique was not bad, the orange peel became the beginning of a flower, and the flesh inside was still intact.It was cut into several petals and put into a small dish, and Borzigit brought it up.

Seeing that his hands were dyed yellow-green by the orange peel, Shujia pointed to the basin, and Thrush brought the basin. Hongtong washed his hands, and saw his mother-in-law picked up a piece of orange and swallowed it, and asked with a smile. : "Sweet?"

Borzigit couldn't help showing a little smile, and tightened his lips again.

Shujia said deliberately: "Sweet, very sweet!"

"My son's filial piety! Of course it's sweet!"

"Not in good shape, your errand done?"

"Hey, the errand is always there, so why not let it wait? My mother is much more important than the errand."

"Did you steal honey today? Your mouth is so sweet?"

Hong Tong bared his teeth and grinned: "My son is well-behaved and sensible."

Shujia couldn't hold back anymore, she laughed so hard that the plate in Borzigit's hand began to tremble.

"Have you seen your sisters and brothers-in-law?"

"I met you earlier in the morning, and I ran a horse with my brothers-in-law, and their horses and bows are still good." He frowned and swallowed what he wanted to say.The loyalty of the forehead consorts to the imperial court is actually limited. Loyal dogs like the first emperor's six forehead consorts are rare.Although they are not at least like the late emperor's third son-in-law, they are not very one-hearted with the court, and they are not very good.

These married sisters were already very old when they entered the palace, and they were his cousins ​​during this period, and their relationship with each other was not close. He seldom thought about whether these people were happy or not.It's not like using these things to spoil Er Niang's mood.

The value of the existence of these people and these things is nothing more than talk about the relationship between relatives.If he really cared about him, he would only care about his own sister, Wu Yunzhu. When this girl got married, he had to plan and plan a lot.

He also picked up a piece of orange and threw it into his mouth, clapping his hands: "Oh, by the way, Hong Yu has written a book, please take his younger siblings to the mansion to teach him."

"What did you say, Mama?"

"I don't know yet. Hong Yu picked a good time. Khan Ama is in the right mood, so he will probably agree."

Shujia hesitated and said, "It's him Wugege and Hongfang?" Ever since Yunti was locked up, she didn't have any entertainment, but she had quite a few children, and Shujia couldn't quite tell who was from whom.Wugege and Hongfang's birthdays are nearer, but if you think about it hard, you can still remember them.

Hongtong regretted his slip of the tongue, his uncle's family was a stranger existence than the sisters who had been robbed, and left a very bad impression on everyone.It is enough to have Hongyu in the political memorial archway, and it is impossible for the sons and daughters of Yunti to want such treatment.

"The son listened to this in front of the emperor, and didn't ask much. Er Niang knew about it," she quickly changed the topic, "I'm going back to Beijing soon, and I don't know how my third brother is doing. Son, he has a letter saying that Su Risong and his sister-in-law hit it off very well."

Shujia also didn't want to mention Yunti's family, not just her, almost everyone wanted to forget about this family.Speaking of Su Risong, Shujia couldn't help laughing: "At this time, the child looks different every day. When you go back, you might not recognize him." She also threw Xiaoba to her daughter-in-law, I miss it a lot now.

"Look at what you said, can I still not know my son?"

Hong Tong rambled about, but also to connect with his mother.He wholeheartedly wants to achieve a big event, and the current New Deal is a great opportunity, and he needs to give more help if he uses his breastfeeding strength.There is no doubt that at critical moments, the mother's influence on the father is indispensable.Although it is a mother and child, blood is thicker than water, but whether you are obedient or not, the feelings in the mother's heart are absolutely different.

Thanks to Hongtong's big mouth, Shujia was not surprised when Yinreng came to tell Shujia that he had sent someone to select a land for exploration.He also mentioned by the way: "Just after the war, you have other things to do, don't spend too much."

Yinfeng has never had a hard life, and when he was worried about money, his food standard has never been lowered.It was only when Shujia was saying polite words: "I have my own sense of propriety, ten thousand years of auspicious land, I can't be sloppy, this is the dignity of the royal family." Yinfeng is not the only one buried in this cemetery. It is also going to be buried here, so Yinfeng made a promise with his wife.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Shujia said: "No matter how big the mausoleum is, it's just such a good place to lie. As long as we're still together, that's fine."

Yinfeng chuckled: "This is for sure, I can't run even if I want to."

He has been in a good mood for the past few days, and when it comes to digging his own grave, he has no taboos at all.He also plans to be closer to Kangxi's mausoleum, so that he can see his parents after death.

—

Amidst the prosperity of the court, Shengjia returned to Beijing and continued to prepare for the New Year cheerfully.

Yinfeng summoned the left-behind personnel in the Qianqing Palace, and it goes without saying that the crown prince and the university scholars reported the situation.Shujia also met the family members headed by the princess in Kunning Palace.

Hesheli prepared the two babies, and after seeing the ceremony, he said: "Bashu (Xiao Ba's classmate, Hesheli's younger uncle) and Su Risong have grown up a lot, so this Give my mother a hug and take a look?"

Shujia nodded.Today in the palace, all the wives, such as Fujin and the concubine, handed over the signs and will not be summoned until tomorrow are all from their own family members. Seeing the two children is even more intimate.

After a while, the two children were hugged, and they were really healthy and tender.Hesheli said: "I didn't understand it very well, so I invited the nuns again." The nuns she was talking about were the wet nurses and nannies of Hongdan back then. This time when something happened, I got the order from the East Palace and came back to meet the emergency.

The nurses and nannies are also a bit old at home now. It's a matter of time before they have orders, and the in-laws don't dare to neglect them.Shujia hugged her son and said with a smile: "I'm tired of you, how are you at home?"

Mrs. Ilari kowtowed and said: "Thanks to the blessings of the Lord Long Live, the master and the prince, the servants and their family are doing well. Even if the life is going well, it is inevitable to miss the master and the prince. This time I am called It is a joy to enter the palace."

Now that we have met, we have to reward them. When we come back from outside the Great Wall, there are many big and small bags.Shujia winked, and Huamei went out quietly, greeted a few young eunuchs, picked out a few that fit the status of nuns from the already sorted packages, and carried them over.

The nuns thanked the reward, and continued to say things about the world's peace, praising the emperor's sage and caring for the people.

Gegentana stayed in the palace, and she hadn't seen her mother-in-law for several months, so she wanted to flatter her, and said along the lines: "Now the world is at peace, it's a time of peace and prosperity."

Whether it was Hongtong who was chatting with his mother, or the empress and Fujin who were talking with the queen, there was certainly something to please in their words, and they probably thought this way in their hearts: the current situation is very good, and those who rebelled have been suppressed. The country increased its income without raising taxes, the emperor also exempted a lot of taxes, and life did not appear to be tight. Moreover, the officials were not allowed to exploit the people too much, but they raised the salaries of the officials...

There is no reason to be unhappy, no reason not to feel that we are living in a prosperous age, no reason not to think that this country will get better and better, and everyone will enjoy peace with their master for thousands of generations.

Even for Yinfeng, he estimated that many reforms would be hindered. When planning, he envisioned various obstacles and formulated many emergency plans to deal with them.However, the situation in front of him still made him feel very good, very good, and he refused to save money on digging his own grave.Happily showing off to my wife how good the location of the future cemetery is, how big the scale is, and that roads will be built directly to the cemetery, and so on.

Everyone feels that this "Changtai Innovation" has had a good start and is already halfway to success.

However, don't forget that there is another saying in this world that a person who travels a hundred miles can travel half a century.

What's more, you haven't reached ninety yet, so it's not bad to have ten percent, and you haven't finished the beginning of the ten percent! , don't think that the first 5.00% is done well.

There is another saying in this world that is "everything is difficult at the beginning".

The problem came soon, first of all, "never add a tax".

After the bustling New Year, the consequences of "prosperity will never add gifts" will really emerge.When the decree was first promulgated, everyone looked at the eye-catching headline and took it for granted: The emperor really loves the people like a son!

It was only after the in-depth implementation that this policy was found to be flawed!This loophole is ignoring the particularity of population growth.The total population is growing, however, the population of individual households may be declining, however!The population of your family has been fixed.Some people benefit from it, and some people suffer from it.

Yang Mingshi, as a good official who is keen to invite the people for the people, used a very simple example to explain in the notebook: "...Dingkou today is based on the yellow book of the first year of Changtai, which is eight years old. During this period, there are births and deaths, and the population of each household changes... There is one household with four populations. In eight years, the youngest son will grow to [-]% of the population. There is one household with eight members. In eight years, they either died of illness, or they were over [-] years old (if they exceed the age of Zhengding, they are not required to serve in the army or pay the silver), but no new members were added. Four people make up a small group, but they still have to receive the gift of eight parts! It is because of their burdens, or those who are overwhelmed and go into exile..."

Depend on!There were difficulties at the beginning.

Of course, there have been countermeasures since this problem came out, and the countermeasures have been thought of for a long time: "spreading into the mu".In the past, the small acres were reduced, but the land tax and the small tax were still collected separately, and now it is all done in one step.Spread the ding silver to the field mu, and on average, a few more dings per mu of land will pay more. If you have more land, you will pay more, and if you have less land, you will pay less.

In fact, this is to collect taxes according to the amount of means of production. As long as your family still has so much land, you will pay so much money.If the land becomes less, pay less, and if the land increases, pay more.Fair enough.

Moreover, due to the long-term policy preparation, the government's response speed this time is quite fast.Basically, when it was time to collect taxes and encountered difficulties, Yang Mingshi's papers went up.The ready-made countermeasures were released.

"It's a pity that this year's tax has already been collected!" Yang Mingshi sighed.In this matter, he has won enough fame, and he has to make a high profile.

"Never add a tax" is supplemented by "spread into the mu", that's all, it can only be regarded as a small twist.

Soon, at the end of the eighth year of Changtai, the minister stationed in Tibet gave an emergency warning: the Junggar tribe invaded again, and this time the big and small Celing went into battle together, and the number of troops doubled compared with the previous 2, and more than [-] troops The horse rushed straight over.According to unreliable sources, they also contacted some Mongolian Taiji in Qinghai.This time, the attack is menacing.

Emperor, pay for your troops to fight!
What Yinreng hates the most is not playing cards according to the rules and going according to his plan.In his plan, both the war with the quasi-ministerial and the economic reform are major events, and he must go all out, preferably one by one. He has been avoiding two-front battles all along.

He followed his script all the way ahead, and he still felt that he was predicting things like a god, or that the Holy Son of Heaven was blessed by his own gods, and everything went smoothly.Right now, he absolutely dare not think like this, and hastily held an imperial meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Due to the increase in troops of the quasi-buyers, the Western Expeditionary Force sent by the Qing court this time must also increase, and military expenditures have snowballed.The extra money from the salt tax and the savings from the fire consumption have all been filled in!

Zhao Shenqiao was straight-tempered, and his neck was stuck: "The Ministry of Households allocated 50 taels of silver for the construction of the mausoleum. Right now...the matter is urgent..." He dared to say this.

There are projects that use money again, and many other projects have to be temporarily suspended, such as repairing the emperor's tomb.The emperor is not dead yet, but the war is imminent, and it seems that it can't be good. 50 yuan to build a tomb is actually not a lot of money, it's just the initial investment, and the interior decoration is not included.

The implication of Zhao Shenqiao's words is that follow-up funding should also be restrained, and the war is at stake right now.

The Qianqing palace was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

It's not that the kings and ministers didn't want to scold. As soon as Zhao Shenqiao opened his mouth, he knelt down at Yinfeng: "Your Majesty, is there any other place where you can squeeze out such a sum of money?" Actually, it is possible, and the result of that is drag on the country's economy.You can increase the fire consumption, increase the burden on the people, and add some believers to the White Lotus Sect.

In the evening, Yinfeng came to Kunning Palace with heavy steps, and his voice was quite depressed: "It's really a slapstick. The war broke out again, and the matter of the camp tomb should be postponed. If not, I'm afraid it will not be as large as I said before."

"I have already said that you are enough for me. State affairs are the most important thing. You have done what you have to do. Why do you need to worry about this? Why did the Yellow Emperor and Yan Emperor personally run Jiling? Which descendant has forgotten them? ? Only meritorious deeds can be immortal. I have heard that the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven and became an immortal, but I have never heard of Jie and Zhou becoming holy. It can be seen that what happens is related to what has been done. I will always be with you. You are a Mingjun , I am Ming Jun’s wife, that’s all.”

Yinfeng smiled wryly and said, "You are tired, you are tired."

"It's enough for me to be your wife. You are going to support the family, and the family business is still a bit big. Since I promise you, I will accompany you all the way." When she was in the East Palace, she would be able to dissipate all the family wealth. The posture is to contribute to Yinreng's career and buy people's hearts.The current situation is self-evident.Especially her old man has no interest in provoking tomb robbers.

There was a look on Yinfeng's face. He said so, but he didn't think he was wrong, and he was still full of confidence.It's just that there are too many problems at the moment, so I complain for a while.

The days are getting busier, and the communication between old couples is not as much as when they were young and newly married. It is enviable to know each other's intentions with a look and a movement, but there is also a lot less "sitting and talking", which has not been discussed in depth for a long time. It is also daily necessities, so I feel that life is dull.What happened today brought Yinreng back to his original feeling: his wife has always been that wife.

Especially what his wife said inspired him, "Only meritorious deeds can be immortal"!He has reached the extreme of wealth and honor in the world. If there is any pursuit, this is it!He almost slapped his forehead and shouted: "I got it!" His policy was right in the first place!

I held back again, and looked into Shujia's eyes: "I will never treat you harshly! Our days are still long. After cleaning up the Ministry, after a while, the country is thriving again. Our An auspicious place for ten thousand years must be built beautifully!"

This is a difficult year. Although the harem is not involved in politics, the men from Yinfeng down all have serious faces, and it is difficult to have a good atmosphere in the palace.In this year, if there is any good news, it is probably that the Crown Princess is finally pregnant.

In this palace, a bit of joy was finally added.
