When the autumn harvest situation was written down and presented in a document, Ripple was not surprised at all. The affected city had no harvest. Although the nearby city did not suffer from floods, the harvest was also poor due to the heavy rain.
Poor people are lucky to be able to scrape together the taxes. After paying the taxes, the family has no surplus food, and they don’t know how they will survive this winter.
"The taxes in the disaster-stricken cities have been completely exempted. If the taxes in other cities are further exempted, the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to open the pot."
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue stepped forward and reported.
"The taxes in other cities have been halved. At least this winter will be postponed. After spring, there will be some food in the mountains and forests. Those rich squires should not be idle. They should arrange themselves in order and take turns to do the work in the city. Porridge will ensure that the people in the city will not go hungry. If it is done well, their taxes will be reduced by one or two in the coming year. "
Lianyi had already had an idea, so he directly told the superior about the solution.
"Queen, what if you meet someone who is stingy and unwilling to do good deeds?"
Someone suddenly asked.
"Then check the origin of her family property, whether her children are up to par, and whether she has done anything that violates national laws."
After looking at the other party, Lianyi said calmly.
"Yes, I understand!"
The other party immediately made a smart move and returned to his original position. The Queen was really sharp. She hit the snake seven inches and pinched the opponent's pulse.
“Governments everywhere must monitor local prices at all times. If anyone raises prices and manipulates the price of food, I will catch them, and all their food will be purchased at a fair price and put into the granary.”
"Yes, I understand. But what if they are united and unwilling to lower the price? The grain in the granary has been used to relieve a disaster, and half of it has been consumed. There cannot be no storage."
This is also the case. What Tobe is worried about.
"It doesn't matter. I can use the grain stored in my imperial village to help you control grain prices."
Lianyi waved his hand grandly.
In addition to the output of Huangzhuang, there is also the grain she purchased with her private treasury. These are enough to stabilize the price of grain in the entire Fengqi Kingdom, unless someone really wants to go against the imperial power.
After hearing that the Queen had brought out all the output of the Imperial Manor, the ministers felt relieved. The next step was to discuss the specific details, which made Nannan feel sleepy.
After the court, Lianyi returned to her bedroom with her sleeping daughter in her arms.
Huizhi came to report that the third princess was back.
“Let her come to see me.”
Lianyi put her daughter to bed, changed into casual clothes, and went to the study to meet the third princess.
After seeing Lianyi, the third princess knelt down and apologized:
"My mother, please forgive me, it is my daughter's fault for making you worry about my daughter's safety."
"Get up!"
Lianyi waved his hand.
After the third princess stood up, Ripple could see that the other party had lost a lot of weight. The white skin that needed to be covered up in the past had completely turned into a bronze color. When she smiled, she showed her big white teeth, but she felt much more energetic.
"Looking at you, you feel a lot more energetic. You must have gained a lot from this experience!"
"Yes, although this time is dangerous, I have also learned a lot from you. It is really Benefited a lot.”
After the third princess got up, she sat down directly and began to talk about entering the new barracks, then moving to Longling City, then to Fengxuan City to fight the plague, and this autumn harvest. Ling Ling talked about it for more than an hour. , then he stopped talking without saying anything, and drank the cold tea in his hand, feeling that his throat felt much better.
"Since you have so many emotions, please write down a summary of what you saw this time. Now go and see your father. In order to protect you, he restrained the person who assassinated you, but he almost Something happened."
"What? Is my father okay?"
The third princess stood up immediately when she heard that her father had been assassinated.
"Nothing to do now, you go and have a look."
"Yes!"
The third princess hurriedly bowed and went straight to her father.
Xian Shijun has recently used the excuse of recovering from illness to thank guests behind closed doors, never leaving his residence, and blocking out all outside inquiries. Naturally, the Queen's instruction was involved in this.
The emperor's husband was assassinated and Rong Shijun died of illness. Now he is the one with the highest status in the palace and has been with the queen for the longest time. The other servants who have no status are not considered by those people.
Especially when the Queen clearly refused to remarry a new husband, he was the one who could easily ascend to the position of husband. These people began to work hard on him. After all, his status was ordinary, his family was ordinary, and he was easy to control. Plus he has a daughter, there are some things to think about.
But Xian Shijun is very sober, he knows his own weight, and he has no intention of fighting. It is also because of the queen's secret protection over the years that he has not been plotted by the emperor's husband and Rong Shijun.
He also knows what his own daughter's temperament is, and she does not have the ability to become the queen of a country. His family is just an ordinary farming and studying family, with no big ambitions.
With his repeated reminders, the family also understood the dangers of the battle for the reserve, and kept a low profile in their hometown, farming and studying, becoming a wealthy family, silently cultivating qualified disciples in the family, and staying away from the capital. Let some thoughtful people want to make articles, but they can't find a breakthrough for a while.
But with the death of the emperor's husband and Rong Shijun, these people began to make small moves again. Xian Shijun was also afraid that these people would really stir up the ambitions of the family and his daughter, so he was always frowning recently. It was only then that the news of his daughter's return made him show his face a little.
The third princess came to Xian Shijun's palace in a hurry. After seeing her father with her own eyes, her expression calmed down.
"The Queen Mother said that in order to cover up my whereabouts, you were almost injured by the gangsters, which scared your daughter to death! If anything happens to you, my daughter will blame herself for the rest of her life."
The Third Queen's Daughter Taking Xian Shijun's hand, he said a little aggrievedly.
“They knew you were not in the team and had lost their target, so they acted a little crazy. Fortunately, the secret guard your mother left for me was effective and protected me, so you don’t have to worry.”
Xian Shijun smiled and said.
"No, I want to stay with you in the palace for a few more days."
"I have nothing to do. If you want to see me, you can enter the palace at any time and go back to the Princess's Mansion first. Your husband is very worried about you. You should take this incident as a warning to the fifth prince."
Xian Shijun said seriously.
"Father, please don't mention this again. I won't make the same mistake again."
The third princess touched her nose and said awkwardly.
"As long as you remember. Go back to the Queen's Mansion first and see the Queen tomorrow. Then come to my place. I have something to discuss with you."
"Yes, Father."
Farewell to Father , the third princess returned to the palace. The originally lifeless palace came to life again because of the return of the third princess. She was naturally surrounded by people asking her, and it was lively for a while.
The third princess attended the morning court on the second day. She was not surprised when she did not see the eldest sister and the second sister. However, after the court, some courtiers were too enthusiastic towards her, which made her a little overwhelmed and seemed to run away. After meeting Xian Shijun, I learned the whole story from Xian Shijun.
“Daughter, do you want to ascend to that supreme position?”
Xian Shijun asked seriously.
