Please, let me be a fool

Further up, is the Duke.

But for such a title, the ancestors all had the merits of founding the country.

However, Emperor Taizu Gao was also worried that the minister's power would be too powerful.

In the end, only one or two dukes were conferred, and the descendants of those dukes were not allowed to inherit the title of duke.

Moreover, the ancestral system was established, that is, those who do not protect the country in later generations cannot be named dukes.

Therefore, in the period of the first emperors of the past dynasties, although there were people with outstanding achievements.

But at most, he was only granted the title of Marquis.

Even Marquis Shenwu, who has the highest merit in the court now, has not reached the level of a duke.

But now, His Majesty actually wants to make his younger brother a Marquis directly.

This is no longer as simple as grace.

Although Song Youwei is very clear.

In this battle, the younger brother directly wiped out the Gaoyang country, and he has the merit of destroying the country.

It can be regarded as one of the outstanding achievements of the Great Wei since the founding of the country.

However, the other party is still very young, only 17 years old, so it would be a little bit...

At this point in her thoughts, Song Youwei stood up immediately, and said: "Your Majesty, you must not, Hongzhi is still very young, and he will have plenty of time to serve the court in the future. You are directly making a Marquis now, which is ruining Hongzhi. The whole court, There will definitely be a lot of discussion.”

The merit of destroying the country is indeed great, but what she considers is that her brother is still very young.

And it was the first time to lead troops to fight, and to have an earl was already invincible.

If directly named Duke.

There are bound to be many people who will not be used to it.

Especially those generals who have been in the army for decades.

After all, the one with the highest title now is only Marquis Shenwu.

Once his younger brother is named Marquis, he will definitely become the target of public criticism.

After all, this time, the rise was too fast.

On the other side, Wei Yunyi was stunned immediately after seeing the queen's reaction.

I wanted to chat and joke with the other party, because he himself knew very well that his brother-in-law's achievements were indeed great, but his qualifications were not enough, and his time in the army was less than two months.

It is indeed too much to be directly named a Marquis, and the ministers will definitely not agree.

But now, also because of the queen's words, a different idea from before emerged in his mind.

That is, why can't my brother-in-law be directly named a Marquis?

In this way, not only the problem of rewards can be solved.

More importantly.

His own actions will definitely cause dissatisfaction among courtiers and even generals.

At the same time, maybe it can make my brother-in-law feel arrogant.

In this way, luck will be affected accordingly.

But Wei Yunyi is very clear.

In this regard, I have to think carefully, to arouse the dissatisfaction of the generals, but not to let these people have a rebellious mentality.

Being a fool is not about doing whatever you want.Especially for myself, why during this period of time, no matter whether it is the Grand Canal or the reform, can I say the same thing?

It is because there are millions of troops loyal to Wei under his command, and they hold military power, even if the important officials of the court have opinions in their hearts.

But he didn't dare to offend Tianyan directly. In short, as the emperor, he had power in his hands.

And having military power in his hands is also one of Wei Yunyi's greatest reliance.

To be a foolish king, he must have power.

Otherwise, it is impossible to continue.

Therefore, in this matter, it is necessary to grasp a certain degree.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Wei Yunyi paused, and then said with a smile: "I, Great Wei, will be rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for crimes. My brother-in-law has made such great achievements, so he must be rewarded well. And the soldiers of Liao Town, They did a very good job this time, and they all made great contributions.”

"But empress, don't worry, what you said, I will naturally think about it carefully. Now that you are pregnant, don't worry too much."

As for how to reward his brother-in-law and the soldiers of Liao Town, he already had a rough idea in his mind.

As for how to do it, it still needs to be carefully considered.

And the reason why Wei Yunyi said that.

Mainly to comfort the queen.

I don't want to make the other party worry too much.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Youwei didn't say much when she heard the words.

But the thought in my heart is to hope that His Majesty will not reward his younger brother too much.

As an older sister, she knows the other party too well, and she was already crazy. Now that she has wiped out a country for the first time in a war, she must be defiant now.

Rewarding another marquis would be arrogant, and this was not what she wanted to see.

Afterwards, Wei Yunyi chatted with the Queen for a few words.

He left Kunshou Palace.

However, he did not go to Concubine Ying's bedroom either.

Anyway, nothing major has happened recently. The Grand Canal and the construction of the straight road are proceeding in an orderly manner, and there will be no problems.

But now, Wei Yunyi's most important thing is to improve his strength.

It's just that Da Huan Dan is still refining.

So now he went straight back to the bedroom and began to practice the Emperor's Dragon Transformation Sutra.

This martial art can be cultivated into a martial saint, and it is still so tyrannical, so I need to pay more attention to it.

After all, as long as one's own cultivation level has reached, with the help of this martial arts, it may not be impossible to resist the immortal who walks out of the gate of heaven.

As for Song Youwei, after watching Wei Yunyi leave, she also began to think.

Now my younger brother is about to return to the court as a teacher, because he has the merit of destroying the country.

At that time, the people of the capital will definitely line up the road to welcome them.

With his younger brother's temperament, he will definitely be proud.

But now, the opponent is a general in the court, no longer the playboy he was before, and his every move attracts attention.

If someone with a heart grasps some problems and exaggerates them, they will definitely cause unwarranted disasters.

Now that I am in the harem, I can't do anything.

So now she decides.

It is necessary to write a letter home to the father, so that the other party can persuade the younger brother.

Song Youwei is still very confident about her father's stability, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed in Dali Temple for so many years.

Immediately, without hesitation, he returned to the bedroom and began to write a letter from home.

And at the same time.

In the household department.

Song Gongwen sat on the main seat, looked at the booklet in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face: "Very good, very good, Mr. Sun, I didn't expect you to have everything ready in such a short time."

In his hands, of course, is the list of a large number of goods that Sun Kejian has purchased in private recently.

There are silk, tea, wine, etc., all kinds of things that the grassland tribes need.

Song Gongwen, as the Minister of the Household Department, naturally has some understanding of this.

Discover those things that Sun Kejian chose.

They are all scarce and extremely needed by the grassland tribes.

So after seeing this list, I will be so satisfied.

Moreover, the number of various goods and their uses are also marked on it, which are very clear.

Song Gongwen had to sigh that the other party was indeed a person from the Sun family. If he were an ordinary household official, he would definitely not be able to do so comprehensively.

In fact, in his mind, the mutual market at the border is to relieve the urgent needs of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

But he didn't expect that his son would destroy Gaoyang Kingdom in a short period of time.

So the pressure on the household department is much less.

after this.

Song Gongwen also told Sun Kejian not to worry, but to take his time and implement the mutual market slowly.

As for the reduced pressure on the household department, there is no shortage of money, so why does the good medicine continue to promote the mutual market.

That's because the two major projects of the imperial court have already started.

More shadows are used.

I must try my best to raise money from all aspects.

Otherwise, if you delay the national policy set by His Majesty, you will be incompetent.

Sun Kejian, who was at the bottom, smiled when he heard the words: "Your Majesty is now working for the imperial court, especially when you meet a monarch who is as wise as His Majesty today, so naturally you have to do your best."

"The total value of these lists is 30 taels of silver. If all the brains are thrown into the border mutual market, those grassland tribes will definitely not be able to eat it. Therefore, the lower officials prepared that some goods can be bartered."

"After all, the grassland tribes are different from the Central Plains. The Central Plains can use silver, but the common people in the grasslands don't have so many."

The current exchange market has not yet officially opened.

Even in the border, there are still some merchants who trade with grassland civilians.

Among them, there will definitely not be a lot of silver in circulation. If only silver is stipulated, it will definitely affect the advancement of the mutual market.

It is much more convenient to switch to the most primitive barter.

After all, Sun Kejian also did business with people from the grassland tribes.

So learn a lot about that.

It is not comparable to court officials.

As for why there are only 30 taels of silver.

It's because when doing business, you always have to keep some capital in your hands. In case of any problems, you can also use money to solve them.

The frontier can be completely different from the Central Plains, and the situation is very complicated, so you have to be fully prepared.

"Oh? Barter? Not bad."

After Song Gongwen heard this, he also felt that this idea was very good. He immediately thought about it for a while, and then said: "But even if it is an exchange of goods, there should be something specific, right? It is impossible to do everything. Trading."

"Of course." Sun Kejian said with a smile: "These lower officials have already considered it. If the common people in the grassland have no money, they can exchange it with horses!"

"Although my Central Plains has a vast land and rich resources, except for Yandi, other places are not suitable for raising horses. Even if they can be raised, but overall it is far worse than the grasslands."

"It's also because the horses are not good. Compared with the grasslands, my Dawei's iron cavalry is also very poor."

Immediately, he continued: "If we can introduce horses from the prairie to the Central Plains by means of barter, then we in the Central Plains can also cultivate a strong cavalry!"

As soon as these words came out, Song Gongwen couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

It should be noted that the imperial court is eager to see through the horses on the grassland.

So for many years, I have been trying to find a way to see if I can introduce horses from the grassland to the Central Plains.

It's a pity that the two sides have been fighting for many years, so the court can't spare the time and opportunity to do this kind of thing.

Now Sun Kejian once again proposed the method of mutual market and barter.

It is indeed a very good idea to buy horses from the grassland.

After all, grasslands are mainly nomadic.
