The Invincible Sixth Prince
Chapter 1117: Yan Li’s Dilemma
"This will put a lot of financial pressure on us!"
Tuohuan frowned, a little worried.
If Fuzhou didn't have so many soldiers, it would be easy to deal with.
But so many soldiers in Fuzhou still need food and wages!
Tax exemption for one year!
Moreover, both silk tax and land tax were exempted!
Apart from commercial taxes, Fuzhou does not have much fiscal revenue.
"It's okay."
Yun Zheng smiled, "I'll ask Zi'er to transfer two million taels of silver from Shuobei to Fuzhou. You can use this money to buy grain from the people in the counties to replenish the granary! It's a good opportunity for us to take advantage of this opportunity to lower the grain price in Fuzhou!"
The people no longer had to pay land taxes, so naturally they had more grain stored at home.
Once there is too much grain stored, it will be necessary to exchange the grain for silver.
In this way, doesn’t it form a buyer’s market?
By then, the grain price in Fuzhou will definitely be brought down!
Tuohuan thought about it and nodded, "Your Highness, what you said makes sense! The people have earned money from selling grain, and they are well-off, so they must also need to buy other things!"
"In this way, Fuzhou's business will flourish!"
"Once business is booming, our business taxes will definitely increase significantly."
"The wealthy families have more money, so naturally more people are buying things like refined salt and sugar from Shuobei."
"After all this detour, the silver is back in our hands..."
Hearing Tuohuan's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
This is the internal circulation!
How about saying that someone else is the prime minister of Guifang?
This brain works so fast!
"so be it!"
Yun Zheng smiled, "You go and get busy first!"
"Resign, old man!"
Tuohuan bowed and left.
Watching Tuohuan leave, Yun Zheng began to think silently again.
So many days have passed, and I don't know if my father's condition has improved.
If Emperor Wen's condition continued to worsen, he would definitely have to make some preparations in advance.
Once something unexpected happens, the riots must be quelled as quickly as possible to prevent them from continuing to escalate.
Should we send the Eighteen Ghost Riders to sneak into the imperial city, kidnap Meng Ruowang directly, and force him to reveal the true identity of the rat first?
Without this rat messing things up, the situation should be easier to control, right?
If you want to kidnap Meng Ruowang, you can only succeed, not fail!
If this fails, it will alert the enemy!
This time, he doesn't want to fail again.
What should we do next?
Yun Zheng kept thinking, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Just at this moment, Miaoyin came with a fragrant breeze.
"Secret letter from the Imperial City!"
As soon as Miaoyin came over, she whispered to Yun Zheng.
Secret letter from the imperial city?
Yun Zheng suddenly became nervous.
What he feared most was receiving news of Emperor Wen's sudden death.
Or maybe Emperor Wen's condition worsened.
Yun Zheng took a deep breath and slowly opened the secret letter with a heart full of trepidation.
"call……"
Looking at the contents of the letter, Yun Zheng couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"Has your father's condition improved?"
Miaoyin didn't see the content of the letter, but she could guess a little from Yun Zheng's relieved look.
"Ok!"
Yun Zheng nodded gently, "Father's condition has improved significantly, and he can move freely now! According to the diagnosis of the imperial physician, there are no major problems, and he only needs to continue recuperating..."
"That's good."
Miaoyin smiled faintly, without much feeling.
She actually didn't care at all whether Emperor Wen's condition was good or bad.
She only cares about Yun Zheng's joys and sorrows.
Yun Zheng put away the letter and began to think silently in his heart.
Father's condition has improved!
It’s time to catch mice seriously!
……
On the way to Shuofang to convey the imperial edict, Yan Li was listless and looked dispirited.
"Eunuch Yan, you didn't sleep well last night?"
Seeing him like this, the guards beside him couldn't help but ask him with concern, but they were secretly muttering in their hearts.
The prince asked Yan Li to rush to Shuofang as soon as possible to convey the order, so they had to rush all the way.
Normally, after a tiring day, you should fall asleep immediately at night.
But Yan Li had dark circles under his eyes, which showed that he didn’t sleep well!
He's so tired, but he still can't sleep well?
What is he worried about?
"Sleep, just sleep!"
Yan Li glared at the guard in anger, "If you had died a few years earlier, you could have slept in the coffin to your heart's content!"
Sleep with his grandma!
If they also knew the contents of the imperial edict, they would probably not even be able to ride their horses steadily!
Still sleeping?
He had personally experienced how arrogant Yun Zheng was and how much he disregarded the imperial court and the prince!
When he went to convey the imperial edict before, Yun Zheng didn't even stand up, let alone kneel to receive the imperial edict!
He wasn't even given the chance to read the imperial edict!
Yun Zheng is so arrogant. If he knew the content of the imperial edict, even if he didn't kill him directly, he would definitely take it out on them.
By then, they will definitely suffer the consequences!
In his rage, Yun Zheng might even kill them!
He doesn't want to die!
After being scolded by Yan Li for no apparent reason, the guard felt bored and could only smile awkwardly without saying anything more.
Yan Li was too lazy to care about the guards and continued to think hard.
How should he break the impasse now?
Without the order, Yun Li would not let him go.
Pass the order, Yun Zheng will not let him go.
If he had known the contents of the imperial edict earlier, he would have tried every possible means to avoid being the holy envoy.
or?
Pretend to be sick and ask the court to send another envoy to convey the order?
In my current condition, no one would suspect me even if I pretended to be sick.
However, pretending to be sick may not be able to fool the prince!
If the prince sees through my intentions, I will be dead!
How to do?
In the end how to do?
Yan Li frowned and racked his brains to think.
As he was thinking about it, Yan Li's eyes suddenly lit up.
If he couldn't see Yun Zheng, wouldn't he just not have to convey the order?
Moreover, if I can't convey the order because I can't find Yun Zheng, it would be a good thing for Yun Zheng, right?
The more Yan Li thought about it, the clearer it became.
Suddenly, the huge rock pressing on his heart seemed to disappear!
Yes, that’s it!
The most important thing now is to find a way to tell Yun Zheng the content of the imperial edict in advance, and let Yun Zheng make up a reason so that they can't find it.
But the prerequisite is that this must be done quietly.
Can’t let other people find out!
Those who accompanied him were all the prince's guards.
If they found out that I had leaked the imperial edict to Yun Zheng in advance, I would definitely be dead!
Well, this is a troublesome thing!
"Eunuch Yan, we can enter Fuzhou before dark. Should we rest in Fuzhou or in Juzhou?"
At this time, the guards who were exploring the way ahead came back on fast horses to report.
Yan Li thought for a moment and said loudly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered us to rush to Shuofang as quickly as possible to pass on his orders. How can we delay? Everyone must not stop and rest until we enter Fuzhou!"
"Yes!"
Everyone takes orders!
Under Yan Li's strict order, they entered Fuzhou before dark.
As soon as they entered Fuzhou, a group of Fuzhou cavalry rushed over and surrounded them.
Seeing them rushing over, a group of guards drew their weapons.
Yan Li raised his hand to stop the guards who were on high alert, and shouted with great force: "Who are you? How dare you intercept the imperial envoy! How many heads do you have?"
The leading general dismounted and saluted, saying, "I am from the Badong Town garrison of General Li Xiu! Fuzhou is not peaceful today, and I am here on Li Xiu's orders to protect the imperial envoy!"
"Protect?"
Yan Li snorted coldly: "It seems to me that you are trying to monitor me, right?"
Yan Li looked unhappy on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart.
opportunity!
This is the opportunity!
