I really don't want to lose the country

Dong Yushi didn't answer directly, but just sneered: "You are really brave!"

Before entering the palace, he wrote poems to make fun of the emperor. When he entered the palace, he first beat Yang Mingtao of the Yang family, and then he attacked the Minister of Rites.

Then he came up with a bad idea to raise money for Ye Zhen, and now he still dares to ask himself, the censor who seems to be an enemy.

Dong Yushi scanned Ye Qing over and over again with burning eyes, and finally paid with his hands behind his back.

"This weird old man!" Seeing that Dong Yushi didn't agree or refuse, Ye Qing's eyes suddenly became complicated.

"Your Highness Xiaoyaohou, please wait a moment." Zhang Rang, the order of Huangmen, came over suddenly, and said to Ye Qing who was about to leave:

"Your Highness, Your Majesty welcomes you!"

"Your Majesty wants to see me?"

Ye Qing asked: "Do you know what happened?"

Zhang Rang glanced left and right, and replied very vigilantly in a low voice: "I don't know! You will know when your Highness goes down."

Ye Qing followed Zhang Rang all the way to the Imperial Study Room!

This time Ye Zhen wasn't playing tricks.

Yijing sat on the dragon chair and corrected the memorial. After Ye Qing came in to pay homage, there was no response. After correcting for about a moment, he asked without stopping:

"You burned Prince Chu's mansion!"

"Ok!"

Why did you ask this suddenly? Ye Qing shook his head and denied, "No!"

Only then did Ye Zhen stop writing, staring at Ye Qing with aggression in his eyes, he snorted coldly and said: "Dare to do it but dare not admit it, and want to do great things!"

"I really didn't do it, I don't have time, I don't have energy!" Ye Qing refused to admit it.

Today you can tell the flowers, and I did it too.

"Okay! That's not what you did!" Ye Zhen asked again:

"How does it feel to go to court for the first time!"

The topic of conversation turned a little too fast, making people unable to catch their pulse.

I don't know what Ye Zhen's plan is.

But Ye Qing still thought about it seriously, and uttered a word: "Tired!"

"Tired..." Ye Zhen asked again: "Why are you tired?"

"Standing is tiring, sitting is tiring, pretending is tiring, acting is tiring, intrigues are tiring, and intrigues are tiring." Ye Qing replied truthfully.

The last court meeting like this was like fighting a war. There was no gunpowder, and I didn't know where to start the war, and I didn't know when it would end.

Can you be tired?

Ye Zhen was thoughtful.

It seems that Ye Qing is right.

After a brief silence, Ye Zhen asked again:

"The idea that came out today is indeed to help the court relieve some of the pressure on money and food, but that is far from enough. The Ministry of Finance is empty. Do you have any other ways to fill the Ministry of Finance?"

In fact, Ye Zhen is also a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so I asked by the way.

The problem of money and food has always been the most fundamental problem that plagued Da Zhou.

No matter how many smart people, how many capable ministers and generals can't solve it.

Ye Qing didn't answer immediately, there are many ways to make money.

There are also many ways to make Da Zhou rich.

But whether or not to say it and how to say it is a matter of great concern.

The dangers of the imperial court can be regarded as increased knowledge today.

If you want to gain benefits, you will violate the inherent interests of others.

Especially things that make more money and can gather wealth.

After thinking for a while, Ye Qing asked back: "Your Majesty, is the item of salt and iron in the household department?"

"Why are you asking this?" Ye Zhen answered without knowing.

I ask you how to make money, how to solve the problem of empty treasury, what are you doing with salt and iron?

Could it be that Ye Qing wants to play Yantie's idea.

These two items are indeed things that gather huge wealth.

But it's all in the hands of the family.

Among them, the salt industry is in Liu's house in Hedong, and the iron industry is in Hongnong's Yang's house.

It was the aristocratic family that Yang Mingtao belonged to.

There is also a reason for Ye Zhen's heavy strikes in the court today.

The Yang family controls the iron industry. Now that the three treasures of Ma Zhong are fully equipped, the iron ore needed will suddenly increase.

It really cheated him.

That's why he sent Yang Mingtao, the younger generation of the Yang family, straight to the end and sent him back to his hometown.

Ye Qingdao: "If it is, then please His Majesty take back the salt and iron management rights of the Ministry of Households, and change at least the name of the government, so that there is a way for the minister to replenish the money and food of the Shaofu."

The Shaofu is the emperor's personal pocketbook.

In charge of Shanhai Dize, Yuyi, Baohuo, Zhenshan Shangfang (ware), weaving and dyeing, etc.

In short, the emperor's income and expenses are under its control.

Shaofu's source of income is very single, and it all depends on the taxes produced in the Huangzhuang, rural areas, mountains, and lakes under its name.

Of course, if the household department has money, it will also allocate some basic expenses of the emperor to Shaofu every day.
