Chapter 396
The next day, the imperial envoy carried the plaque of the Royal Hippodrome written by Wu Taizu himself, and swaggered across the market to the Hippodrome to replace the original plaque.

The memorial to the court requesting the banning of the racecourse disappeared immediately.

The emperor is blatantly supporting the eldest princess, so what a joke!
The citizens and dignitaries who love gambling are all happy, and the emperor has publicly approved it, so why don't they just bet and play a few games happily?

The horse breeder is also happy. If he loses the bet, he still raises a horse. If he wins, he will be famous and rich.They expanded their pastures one after another, hoping to breed good horses that won.

Ye Xueying asked people to compile a family tree for each horse participating in the competition, recording each horse's pedigree, coat color, body shape, and competition results.

She also prints them out and sells them from time to time, and those who gamble and raise horses rush to buy them.Horse gamblers use it as reference material for betting, and horse breeders use it to ask for stallions to breed according to the spectrum.

On November [-], the first end-of-month competition was held to determine the top ten.The top three riders receive huge bounties on the spot.

The eldest princess personally announced that the first year-end competition will be held on December 30th. Today's top ten will not be able to participate next month. They will directly participate in the year-end competition and compete with the top ten in December. Compete for year-end awards.

The top three immediately became happy, and the other seven were also happy. They still had a chance to win bigger rewards.

Other players who failed had to work hard in the next month.People with good horses at home in other places are rushing to the capital to compete.

Wenying was even more happy. After half a month, the racecourse made millions of taels of silver, and he could get 20 taels.Thinking about the money he will get in the next year, he is so happy that he can't sleep.

Ye Xueying also handed over 50 taels to the royal treasury, and she used the remaining 30 taels to fill the bottomless pit of Yuying Academy.

Wu Taizu was surprised to find out that running a racecourse is such a profitable way of making money. After doing this every year, the internal treasury is equivalent to tens of millions of taels of income.There are many things that can be done with tens of millions of taels. In previous years, the total treasury revenue of the Xia Dynasty was only 2000 million taels.After spending, the remaining amount is less than 200 million taels per year.With this extra income from the racecourse, Wu Dynasty's life is much better than that of Xia Dynasty.

Taizu Wu was convinced, and quietly said to the queen: "Ye Xueying is really a genius, and the Ye family has such a granddaughter, what a blessing from heaven!"

The queen was jealous when she heard that the racecourse made so much money, she was waiting to see Ye Xueying's jokes!The majestic eldest princess actually went to open a casino, shouldn't people be scolded?Who would have expected such a result.

"Such a large sum of money will be handed over to Ye Xueying?" the queen asked tentatively.

"Ye Xueying said that half of the revenue from the racecourse goes to the internal treasury, [-]% goes to run Yuying Academy, and the remaining [-]% ​​is the hard-earned money of her and Wenying. It is not an exaggeration for her to take [-]% for such a big event. "Wu Taizu said with a smile while touching his beard.

"Yuying Academy is a bottomless pit, what do you do with it?" the queen said dissatisfied.

"You don't understand, Yuying Academy is also a major event, and it must continue!" Wu Taizu said.

"Why?" The queen didn't understand.

Wu Taizu refused to tell her clearly.Just kidding, the queen is also from a family, so if you tell her, it means that all the four major families in Guanzhong know about it.Then, all the families in the country will know about it.Yuying Academy will not be able to do it.

Wu Taizu is forcing the four great families in Guanzhong and the five great families in Longxi to come to the capital in the name of rewards!Suppressing the development of aristocratic families is a major national policy set by the Wu Dynasty.

To cancel the hereditary system, the royal family set an example first, and then enforced it, and the descending order of multiple sons is also being practiced.

Wu Taizu said in the court hall: "This is a good thing. As long as you have done a lot of merit, all your sons can be ennobled. There is still Chile in the world, there is Dashu and Jin Kingdom, you don't have to worry about not having the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Xiang has already For those who have been promoted to Marquis, don’t be afraid that there will be no seal for the Lord of the High-Great Town, show your skills, earn it for your son, and then earn it for your grandson! What are you afraid of when the hereditary inheritance is cancelled, won’t you earn more?”

The generals laughed when they heard this.

When the generals went home and talked about it, those with many wives and concubines agreed with it.In the past, only one son was able to inherit the title, but now everyone can accept the title. Of course, the other sons all support it. It is better to have something than nothing.It used to be a life-and-death fight for the title, but now there is no need to fight, how good is it for everyone to share a point?
With less competition for titles, the families of the rich and powerful are much more harmonious.The generals also gradually accepted this new system calmly.

With this system in place, they no longer worried that the emperor would run out of money and slaughter heroes.

The military power is too great, and I am afraid that the emperor will taboo, what should I do?Please downgrade yourself!Just divide it among the sons.Lower the wait, wait three years later to fight the Jin country and earn back.

This is how Wu Taizu kept sending people to lobby and hint at those generals with great military power.The generals with heavy troops in their hands agreed and asked themselves to be lowered one after another.Everyone is happy.The emperor withdrew his military power, and the general's son got a title and an official position.

By the end of December, the emerging Wu Dynasty was harmonious and began to show a scene of prosperity.

Ye Xueying was busy with horse racing and managing the academy, and her life was quite fulfilling.It's boring, and there are two little girls coming to make trouble.

On December 24, the officials worshiped.

All the wives in the palace also came to congratulate her, and Ye Xueying also dressed up and entered the palace to congratulate the queen.

Ye Xueying took Fengdie and Cailing, leaving Suzhen at home to accompany Yujiao, and also brought Shaoyao and a group of court ladies.

After paying her respects to her grandmother, Ye Xueying sat on her hands.At this time, there were no other concubines in the palace. Wu Taizu was getting old, so he confiscated other concubines and only accepted a few beauties.The level of beauty is too low, so she can't appear on this occasion.

Sitting on the other side of the Queen was the Crown Princess.Further down are the two princesses.Below the princess are Ye Xueying's three sister-in-laws and two little princesses.Behind them are the ladies of various categories.

Hundreds of ladies came to pay their respects one by one.

The wives above the third rank can still say a word or two to the queen, while the other wives can only watch.

Many of the wives inside finally saw the eldest princess who was famous in the capital for the first time.

Everyone secretly sighed: There is such a stunning beauty in the world!Are you going to let people live?

Fortunately, the eldest princess wears a veiled hat every time she goes out, otherwise all the men in the capital would be fascinated. No wonder the third prince Yan Wang would be fascinated by her.

Baoying looked at Ye Xueying's face, and at the eyes of the wives below who were fascinated and admiring, and felt as uncomfortable as a fire was burning in her heart.Why is Ye Xueying so beautiful, why is she so powerful, everything is unparalleled in the world, and every thing she does attracts a lot of discussion and praise from the whole capital.With her here, I would simply become a grass on the side of the road, no one would look at me again.

After the court congratulations, a large imperial banquet was held in the palace to entertain all the wives.

As soon as Ye Xueying sat down, Princess Bao and Princess Jade rushed towards her.

The two sisters-in-law smiled and ignored, Ye Xueying was also happy, and hugged one in each hand.Ask the lady-in-waiting to bring two chairs by her side.
