The emperor has long had the intention of increasing the government tax and enriching the treasury, but the group of old ministers in the court have white dreams all day long, and they don't want to take the silver and want to make a profit, but the merchants are not stupid, so they are naturally unwilling to do loss-making transactions.

In addition, no one dares to spread such a big stall at once, and it is impossible for the imperial court to force the merchants to participate in this matter, and the bureau is also a pit, so the entire Daqian has been mainly taxed on agriculture and mulberry for so many years, and although the commercial tax is increasing every year, the progress is not fast.

Nowadays, Northern Xinjiang is like a bomb that will detonate at any time, and the lack of money in the household department has always been a haze in the emperor's heart, and now with Fu Jiaken taking the lead, it will be easy to implement.

It's just that the matter can't be pushed out of the Fu family at the beginning, the emperor still has a little conscience, Fu Yuanling is willing to share the worries of the court, and he is not good at pushing people to the cusp.

The emperor's mind was in a hurry, Xiao Jiuqi was watching anxiously from the sidelines, and couldn't help asking: "Old man, what do you think, whether this thing will succeed or not, you can't cheat my daughter-in-law." ”

Emperor:......

This son is for someone else!

The queen looked at Xiao Jiu, "What are you anxious about, your father naturally knows the merits of the Yuan Order, and you don't go to the court, so you naturally don't know how difficult those old ministers in the court are. ”

The emperor listened to the queen helping him slap his son, and his heart suddenly became comfortable, and he looked at his son proudly, "It's troublesome for you to go to court, and now you are more anxious than anyone else when you encounter something, right!" ”

Xiao Jiuqi's face darkened, "What's the meaning of the last dynasty, a group of old men are chattering, saying things clearly in one sentence, I have to argue for three, four, five or six days, I'm afraid that I won't be able to suppress my anger after going to the court, and I punch them out one by one, and you don't want to deal with the aftermath afterwards?" If you're not afraid of trouble, I'll go to court at the beginning of the year! ”

Who's afraid of whom?

For the sake of his daughter-in-law, he dares to go to the sea of swords and fires!

"Listen to what you say, it's unreasonable." The emperor's chest trembled.

The queen looked at the emperor and said with a smile: "The courtiers are complacent, and some people think very highly of themselves and can't listen to the words of others, and even rely on the old and sell the old." King Wu has always been a good man in the court, and the king of Chu is soft-spoken, and the courtiers may not take the two kings to heart and face them squarely. The concubine thinks that if the emperor wants to reform the government, it is a good thing for Xiao Jiu to go to the court to make trouble, and you can't say things that are difficult to do, so let Xiao Jiu say and do it. Father and son are of the same heart, and their profits are broken, maybe they can break into a new situation. ”

The emperor glanced at his bewildered son and thought that the queen's idea was good, great!

"Isn't it okay for you to pit your son like this?" Xiao Jiuqi looked at the queen with resentment on her face, "Although I am a little unreliable, you can't treat me like this." ”

The queen looked at Xiao Jiu and smiled more and more kindly, "Your father's reputation can't be lost in the hands of those old fools." As a Son of man, sharing the sorrows of the Father is what you should do. Xiao Jiu, now it's time for you to fulfill your filial piety. ”

Xiao Jiuqi: ......

Although he knew that his mother said this on purpose, he still had a feeling of hair, the key was that his father really believed everything, and he thought that the queen mother was really thinking about him.

The queen mother is really getting more and more powerful.

Xiao Jiuqi coughed lightly, "It's not impossible, but let's say it first, I can't push my daughter-in-law out and be hated." ”

"Am I that kind of person?" The emperor was displeased, "If it weren't for this, how easy it would be for me to say the queen's proposal in the court." ”

Stinky boys, people don't know blessings in blessings!

When Xiao Jiuqi heard this, he said a little weakly: "Okay, then my villain's heart, in order to make amends, I will listen to your success?" Anyway, I'm good at this. ”

"You, you can't say good things well, you can share the worries of your father, and you can also speak evil words and be hated." The queen shook her head helplessly, and turned her head to look at the emperor again, "Although this matter is a little unkind, but it is an extraordinary time, and the emperor does not have to feel guilty." The old ministers who are vegetarian in the corpse seat should also feel the care of the court. ”

"What the queen said makes a lot of sense." The emperor was refreshed, he really looked at some people for a long time, but he had never had a chance to start.

It's good now.

The emperor glanced at Xiao Jiu vaguely, never imagined that one day his son's temperament could be used in the court.

Look at the son he raised, there is no useless place, even this bad temper can help a lot.

The emperor left satisfied, and he was so happy today.

As soon as the emperor left, Xiao Jiuqi looked at the queen mother, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "You are really open." ”

The queen looked at Xiao Jiu, "Last time, you said that Xiao Ting tried to install officials in the northwest, I was thinking that he had been in the court for a long time, and he was afraid that he had accumulated much deeper connections than your fourth brother." Only your fourth brother in the court can't do it, although Ji Xiang is his person, but sometimes he can't blatantly join forces with your fourth brother, he will inevitably be suspicious of your father, and even sometimes he has to stand on the opposite side, the tighter the situation, the more unfavorable it is for your brother. ”

Saying this, the queen sneered, "Your father may not be aware of Tan Guifei's actions, since he acquiesces, then the palace can naturally intervene." Tan Guifei secretly made a move, but this palace can let you go to court in a bright light. ”

Xiao Jiuqi was silent, "You've been waiting for a long time today, right?" ”

"Soon, even if there is no proposal from Yuan Ling this time, I will temporarily push the boat to send you to the court, and I will use other methods to let you stand on the court at the beginning of the year." The queen looked at her son, "This time the stakes are very high, you have to do your best." When the dynasty opens in the next year, I will give you a list, and you will act according to the opportunity at that time. ”

"Do you have a list?" Xiao Jiuqi was speechless, "Fourth brother seems to have it there." ”

"The list of people is not complete, and the others have to wait for you to find out for yourselves, and find out one and count one." The queen said slowly, "Did Xiao Si say how to settle the matter of the dispatch of officials in the northwest?" ”

"The fourth brother said that he wanted to close the door and beat the dog, and it is not appropriate to do it now."

The queen thought thoughtfully, "It's okay, as long as the list is in our hands, we will take the lead, and it will be easy to control them when the time comes." When a new official takes office, he has to work hard to get through the joints. ”

Xiaosi is very smart and thoughtful in doing things.

The queen was satisfied.

The year was destined to be unpeaceful.

After the night banquet of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Fu Yuanling did not have to enter the palace at the beginning of the first year, and he was at ease to raise a baby in the mansion, and he also listened to Xiao Jiuqi about the arrangements of the empress concubine.

Although there is no need to go back and forth in the palace, Fu Yuanling cannot completely relax, and has already begun to formulate matters for the construction of major workshops.

The stakes are very high, such a big pie, the Fu family must not swallow it by itself, but also join forces with others, everyone has money to earn, and their hearts are in one place, so that all the merchants are twisted into a rope, so that they have the absolute strength to cooperate with the imperial court.
