Chapter 499

The monthly income of Hubu is 300000, which makes Wende Di in a good mood.

At noon, simply go to Weiyang palace to have dinner with empress Pei.

Liu Yi and his wife were there.

"No work to do?" Emperor Wende asked Liu Yi with a stern face.

Liu Yi bowed and said, "I'd like to inform my father that after finishing my errand, I went into the palace to greet my mother."

"The old four has always been clear about public and private affairs, and he never delays his work." Said queen Pei.

Wendedi said, "now that you have invited Ann, get out of here."

Liu Yi is very sincere.

Empress Pei said in a hurry: "it's all noon. It's better to stay and have dinner together."

"Whatever."

Wende is not inhuman either.

Empress Pei quickly ordered people to set up a meal.

During the meal, only a little noise from the collision of dishes and chopsticks was heard, and there was no other movement.

After lunch, Wende Di planned to take a break, and in a good mood, he asked Liu Yi to talk to him.

"I've heard about the business tax."

Liu Yi's face was beaming with joy, "congratulations to my father, congratulations to my father, and the Ministry of household has added another tax source, but it has solved the big problem."

Emperor Wende was in a good mood and said with a bright smile, "well, it's a great pleasure to increase tax sources. What makes me happy is that the tourist tax is not too heavy for the peddlers and will not become a heavy burden on them.

It can not only make it convenient for the peddlers, but also help the household to increase some income. Ha ha The loss department can think of it. Tomorrow, I will ask who came up with this tourist tax. "

"About this matter, my son knows something inside," Liu said

"Oh?" Wende Di looked at Liu Yi and said, "let's listen."

Liu Yi pondered: "recently, two adults, Hubu and Shaofu, have frequent contacts with sister-in-law. The son heard that there was a travel tax plan in Hubu, which was written by his sister-in-law. This tourist tax, no accident, is likely to have been worked out by my sister-in-law. "

Wende looked up at Chang en and said, "do you know this?"

Chang en bowed and said, "the old slave has heard of it, but I haven't had time to prove it."

Emperor Wende waved, "ask the Minister of Hubu to wait for him in Xingqing palace. I have something to ask him."

Chang en bows down to take orders.

"The father, the son also heard some bad rumors."

"What rumors?"

Liu's mouth was open, and he was very embarrassed. "According to the law, the children's ministers should not talk about human rights and wrongs, especially those about big brother and sister-in-law. It's just about the government affairs of the court, and I dare not conceal them. "

"Say it

Liu Yi respectfully said, "yes! Well, many people now know that the sudden introduction of the Hubu tourist tax is due to the old sister-in-law behind the instigation.

Therefore, it is very difficult for someone to speak. It is said that every household is controlled by a woman's hand. A woman who is involved in the affairs of the Ministry of household affairs today will be involved in military affairs tomorrow? Some people say that the elder brother ordered the elder sister-in-law to do this. Say big brother... "

"What? Just say it. " Vander's face had become gloomy.

Liu Yi's face was nervous and uneasy, "some people say that the eldest brother just became a prince and couldn't bear it. He was carrying his father and interfering in six government affairs. When he is in power one day, will he have to do that wicked thing.

I can't believe this. The elder brother is not such a person. Son minister also dare not conceal father emperor. The son minister implored his father to send Jin Wuwei to investigate the matter and return the elder brother and sister-in-law to be innocent. We must arrest those who make rumors behind them and punish them severely. "

Wende Di's face was as black as the bottom of a pot

Liu Yi was trembling. "Some people in the Yamen have been talking about this, saying that the elder brother is ambitious and even sent his elder sister-in-law to fight for power. I'm afraid it's a conspiracy.

He also said that Zhao, the Minister of Hubu, must have taken bribes from his sister-in-law, so that he would strongly advocate levying tourist tax. He also said that the elder sister-in-law took the money from the Shaofu bank to seek private interests for his elder brother.

In short, there are all kinds of things to say, which is really unbearable. If it is not curbed, I am afraid the imperial censor will soon start impeaching the elder brother and sister-in-law. "

Emperor Wende snorted coldly, "I don't know. Every Yamen in the capital is so lively in private. It's just like the city's three aunts and six wives who gossip all day."

"My father said so. The atmosphere of the Yamen is indeed somewhat loose. "

Wende emperor seems to have no rest mind, "OK, you go back to work well. I will go back and keep busy. "

After that, Emperor Wende got up and left Weiyang palace with people.

Empress Pei sent the emperor Wende out of the palace and glared back at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi looks innocent.

Empress Pei grimaced, "are those rumors true?"

Liu Yi said calmly: "there are people talking about it."

"Then you shouldn't have picked this time to bring it up.""It's hard for a son to see his father and Emperor. It's about the reputation of big brother and sister-in-law. Can the son conceal it? It's rare to wait for the court to criticize constantly before reporting it? "

Liu Yi is very aggrieved.

Empress Pei frowned and said, "even if you think about your elder brother, it shouldn't be up to you."

"My son is worried about his elder brother and sister-in-law, so he can't help saying it."

Empress Pei stares at Liu Yi suspiciously.

Liu Yi's face is magnanimous and his heart is selfless.

Empress Pei frowned, and she doubted Liu Yi's intention.

She was worried that Liu Yi was deliberately suing his majesty, and that Liu Zhao would be killed.

However, Liu Yi was so magnanimous that she suppressed the suspicion in her heart, "well, you go out of the palace to do errands first. If there is such a thing in the future, ask others to tell your majesty not to come out on your own. Don't forget what your father told you. Your father didn't want to see your brothers mutilate each other. "

"The empress mother misunderstands that the son is devoted to the care of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and will never fraternize with each other. But now I want to come, my son is indeed reckless. I'm afraid elder brother and sister-in-law will misunderstand my intention. Well, it's hard to do both. I hope you can be more generous and don't worry about my thoughtfulness. "

"If your elder brother is not satisfied with you, we will explain it for you."

"Thank you very much

"All right, in the future, do things safely. Don't act impulsively like a little boy."

"The son remembers the teachings of his mother."

Liu Yi leaves with Xiao qin'er.

But empress Pei was worried.

Duke Wen Zhongwen, the young warden of Weiyang palace, serves empress Pei.

"Is your mother worried?"

Empress Pei nodded, "the eldest brother and the fourth brother are all children of our palace. We don't want them to fight with each other, but they are cheap at last."

Wen Zhong thought about it for a moment, "or I'll invite both your highness to Weiyang palace some other day. My mother will tell you the pros and cons of this. If the two princes help each other, they will not have a chance to come to other princes. "

Empress Pei asked another question: "do you think the old four will convince the boss? Will he be willing to run for the boss? "

"This?"

Wen Zhong is also hesitant.

In the past, when he was in Prince Ning's residence, he served the Pei family. Therefore, he knew the temperaments of several princes in the mansion.

Several young masters changed their minds and became princes. Naturally, their temperaments were still the same as those of the past. It is impossible to change their temperament just because they were princes.

With the temper of Liu Yi, his fourth highness, he was afraid that he would not be willing to live behind his highness Liu Zhao, nor would he be willing to make a wedding dress for his highness.

He thought for a while and said, "it's not easy, but we have to try. If the two princes fight each other, it will be painful for the relatives and quick for the enemies, so that others will benefit. "

"That's why. But it has to wait. After a period of time, we will summon them again. "

Empress Pei looked worried. She was really afraid that her two sons would fight each other and make others cheap.

……

Emperor Wende summoned the Minister of Hubu, and then the order of Shaofu.

The three of them shut the door and spoke for a long time.

The old God of the Ministry of Hubu is there, not in a hurry.

As a senior official of the Ministry, who has not been impeached.

The senior officials who have not been impeached are not qualified officials.

Life histories are incomplete.

The Minister of Hubu, Mr. Zhao, is so calm.

Your impeachment is unstable.

Emperor Wende kept all the memorials for impeachment.

If he had accumulated too much, he simply asked Chang en to carry them out and burn them.

It's a waste of paper.

Wende Di snorted coldly.

"Is it easy for Hubu to save some money? Are these memorials free? It's all wasted. "

Chang en was used to Wende's temper. But sometimes it's exciting.

"Your Majesty, the Hubu has increased the tourist tax, which is a little more generous than in the past."

How much can he be dissatisfied with? When the Ministry of finance can increase the tax revenue by 3 million taels a month, then we can say that we are well off. "

After a pause, Wende Di said, "the first emperor had to look for the eldest daughter-in-law to find a way to repair the three main halls. In order to increase the income, how can't the Department find the eldest daughter-in-law to find a way? It's ridiculous

Chang en said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Those imperial historians, of course, had no courage to oppose the emperor's decision, but they had the courage to impeach Hubu. But the persimmon is soft. "

Wende Di nodded again and again, "these imperial historians are all bullying. When you ask for money, you never give in. The Ministry of household has managed to increase its income by several hundred thousand taels. In a few days, it has been used up. I didn't even have a look at the money. "

"Next month, your majesty, why don't you go and have a look at the Treasury of Hubu?""What are you looking at? Do you watch the rats running in the empty warehouse

Wendedi was unhappy.

There is no money in the Treasury. The emperor has to get money from the young master for everything he does. He is really filled with heart.

Shaofu is the emperor's private Treasury. Who can use the public money to move the private treasury.

But the Treasury is empty.

Every time he opened the private Treasury to get money, the stingy Wende emperor was bleeding.

He was emperor only two or three months ago. But he had already realized the mood of the emperor holding on to the money bag.

I don't have money. I don't speak hard.

Even if you are the son of heaven, as if you are rich all over the world, you still don't have the money to speak hard.

If you want to do something, the courtiers will pay them back if they have no money.

It's very annoying!

"In the beginning, the late emperor of Kui owed salt and iron tax to Shaofu. Otherwise, I am a poor emperor, and I will be pinched by courtiers everywhere. It's difficult to do something. "

Chang en said: "the Shaofu bank is well managed and its income is higher than a year. I heard that the young master is going to open 20 new banks in the prefectures this year. "

Vander was happy. "That's a good thing. Shaofu's Bank is open all over the world. It can benefit the people and increase the income of Shaofu. It's not bad. The family order of Shaofu is very capable in financial management. "

The young master's family order, praised by the emperor, will be happy and worried.

Fortunately, Gu Jiu kept his promise. As soon as the one-year period arrived, he took the silver note and paid back the first one million Liang borrowed last year with interest.

The worry is that the impeachment of the imperial censor will affect Gu Jiu's South Gate project.

The home order of the young government only hopes that the project will not be stopped. It will repair the house and sell the house quickly, and pay all the subsequent arrears.

Gu Jiu was holding a teacup and chuckled softly, "I'm not flustered. My ancestors are flustered."

The young master waved his hand, "I can't compare with you. If something goes wrong, you can't repair the house and go back to your husband and son. If something happens here, I will not only lose my official post and leave my post. I'm afraid that the lives of the whole family will be filled in. "

Gu Jiu said in a low voice: "the old ancestors were too worried, and impeachment did not involve you. Why are you so nervous. There's no panic in other people's ministers. What are you panicking about? "

"I am worried that the impeachment of the imperial censor will affect those projects outside the south gate. I still expect you to return the last two payments on time. "

Gu Jiu said with a smile: "don't worry. If you borrow money from your Shaofu bank, you will return it on time. It will not make it difficult for you to do so. Some time ago, my name of the business from the south to pull a few trucks on the capital. I specially selected the best dry goods and sent them to my ancestors' house. Try it, and if it's good, I'll bring it back to you next time. "

"You do. Now, in troubled times, you have the heart to give gifts. "

Gu Jiu laughed. "It's not the first time I've been impeached. It won't be the last time. I've been used to it. I think of a tax source for the household department. I'm not selfish. What am I afraid of. The imperial censor said that my hand was too long and my royal highness was ambitious.

Hum, I really want to be ambitious. Why should I help the Ministry of household to increase income and reduce expenditure. You can sit and watch the Ministry of housing continue to be poor, and continue to owe the salaries of Beijing officials. When the accumulated debts are more and more serious, my highness will not be more able to buy people's hearts and minds if he tries to turn things around?

Now, good things have been done, but the hearts of the people have been confiscated and bought. Such loss making business can be done by ambitious people? Those imperial censors all have a pig's head. Do you really think that Mrs. Ben is a fool like them

Shaofu's order eyebrows and eyes twitch, "it's not stupid to be an imperial censor."

Gu Jiu said with a smile, "it's not stupid. It's just a group of shits. It stinks in the hall. "

When the young master heard the speech, he couldn't help laughing. "Don't say it outside, or you'll be impeached."

"I'm not afraid of them."

Gu Jiu is more debt than worry, lice more do not itch, magnanimous.

"Don't be careless. Be careful that the project outside the south gate will be affected."

Gu Jiu stares at the young master's family order, his eyes are shining, "Your Majesty has seen the cement road, right?"

The magistrate turned around and said, "I don't know about this."

Well, I want to fool Mrs. Ben again.

Gu Jiucai will not be fooled.

"Did your majesty say anything? Do you agree with me to build the road? "

"It's better for you to ask your highness directly to your majesty than to ask me about it."

Gu Jiu shook his head, "that's not good. My highness went into the palace to inquire about this matter. It was that there was no distinction between public and private affairs. It was selfish and would cause his Majesty's disgust.

The reason why I asked two adults to help me was that I didn't want to involve my highness. I will find a way to solve my problems, and I can't ask him to intervene. "

The king of Ning is no longer the king of Ning, but the emperor Wende.

Father king and father emperor, there is only a word difference, among them the propriety is very different.

In the past, Liu Zhao was free to fight for the benefits of Gu Jiu in front of King Ning, but now Liu Zhao can't continue to strive for benefits for Gu Jiu in front of emperor Wende.Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao know the propriety.

So the two men reached an agreement on this matter without much effort.

Liu Zhao is an official.

It is a private matter for Gu Jiu to open a business.

Business and private affairs must not be confused.

Sense of propriety is important.

Many meritorious officials were later killed by the emperor, and many of them were disgusted by the emperor because of their lack of sense of propriety as ministers, and then all the dust returned to the dust.

As the prince, Liu Zhao called himself his son's minister in front of emperor Wende. He was a minister before a son.

Since he is a minister, he must have the consciousness and sense of propriety.

Gu Jiuchong, the young master's official, laughed, but she didn't say a word.

"My wife never dared to bet on the emperor's conscience."
