Traveling through the barren years, I have a system and am not afraid of anything

Chapter 699: The merit of gathering a clan and one person

No one in the cabinet knows about Master Zhao. Not only do they know that Master Zhao was their idol when they were young, but now that the idol has been dug out by the Crown Princess to serve as an official in the court, anyone who dares to object is against them.

"Why did you all come to court together today? But something big happened?"

Tian Tian's heart felt a little sudden. Now Daqi was surrounded by flames of war. If there was any place that could not withstand it, it would be a disaster.

"We old guys have read all the recent memorials in the past few days. His Highness is acting unfairly and does not grant titles or rewards to those who have made meritorious deeds. This makes the veterans and others very puzzled!"

After watching the memorial for a few days, the old guys in the cabinet suddenly felt a little sorry for the people of Tianjiacun.

According to the contents of the memorial, it can be seen at a glance that the entire Northland is now supported by the Tian family. The old, weak, women and children all wear armor and go into battle to kill the enemy, but His Highness does not mention this credit at all.

Your Highness cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb if you don't mention them, otherwise it will chill those good people who are dedicated to serving the country.

"This……"

"But did your Highness make any oversights?"

Tian Tian's face was full of embarrassment. She was indeed lazy. Even the memorials selected by the cabinet ministers were thrown to Master Ba after a cursory glance. It was inevitable that there would be mistakes.

"Your Highness, the Tian clan in Tianjia Village, Northland, rode the tide with their own strength. Not only did they kill the rebels, but they also defended every inch of land in the Northland. They are meritorious people in Daqi. Why doesn't Your Highness give them a title or reward? "

Xu Ge asked in an old voice, and Tian Tian's heart sank into his stomach.

"The Tian family is the family that raised me. They don't need any glory. Besides, didn't I promote Tian Maosheng in an unusual way?"

The Tian family really does not need more glory. What the Tian family needs now is stability. Excessive fame may not be a good thing for the Tian family, so Tian Tian did not reward the Tian family.

"The merit of gathering a clan with one person, this..."

The elders looked at each other, they had never heard of this algorithm!

"What His Highness said is correct. Don't get in the way and go to the cabinet to read the memorial!"

The Imperial Master had always been silent in the main hall, but now he suddenly opened his mouth to speak, and the elders of the cabinet lowered their heads and left again.

"If you have the foundation to start a memorial, if you don't have the foundation to retreat!"

The eunuch understood Tian Tian's eyes instantly.

"Your Highness, regarding the fund-raising center, I feel that the fund-raising center should not be run by a group of dandies. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for the imperial court to take over it?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance rushed out bravely.

"That is someone else's credit. Are you trying to steal the credit?"

The fundraiser brings in a lot of money every day, and the household department will inevitably get angry if they don't get any benefits.

"I don't dare, I just think..."

Although their princess was not like the Holy Emperor who would drag her out and behead her if she disagreed with her, she could still put a lot of pressure on her.

"Do you think the fundraiser is bringing in a lot of money every day, but this money has not gone into the pocket of your household department? I just don't know if Mr. household department has ever been to the granary?"

Tian Tian filled up several granaries in the capital, and the little gold and silver raised from so much food donation was simply not enough.

"Your Highness, I went to see it. The granary has been filled. We, Da Qi, will definitely be able to weather the storm this time!"

Muchen personally checked the granary and found that the grain in the granary was full.

He was curious about the origin of the grain and checked several major grain merchants in the capital. They all denied it.

According to the reply of the person guarding the granary, only the dandy kid from the capital sneaked in once, and no one else came close to the granary.

After searching for two days and finding no clues at all, he took the initiative to find Zhu Dachang.

Zhu Dachang showed Zuo Xiang the donation account book, and only told Zuo Xiang that the money raised had been exchanged for food. As for the source of the food, Zhu Dachang remained silent.

Muchen was a smart man. He knew that the person who provided the food did not want to expose himself. He was happy that Daqi had such a person to help him. How could he continue to investigate?

"Can the money collected from the fundraiser be enough to buy that food and grass?"

Tian Tian glanced at Muchen lightly, he was also a vixen.

"I have carefully calculated it, but it is not enough!"

This was also the magnanimity of the person who delivered the food. Muchen could also see that he really wanted to help Daqi.

"The reason why the donation center has not been closed yet is because, firstly, the money collected is not enough to settle accounts with grain merchants, and secondly, because it is winter and soldiers cannot go into battle shirtless, so the donation center has not been closed yet!"

"Shirou Tobe stares at other people's money all day long. When will the national treasury be filled?"

Tian Tian looked at Shirou Tobe in a deep voice. This guy is anxious when he sees money, but he doesn't know how to adapt at all. There is such a big example in Beidi, and he can't just copy it?

"This~ I am stupid~"

"Your Highness, I think Daqi can imitate the taxation system of Beidi!"

Tian Maosheng has long discovered that Beidi's taxation method is a truly good method, and he has long wanted to promote it in Daqi.

"Mr. Tian, ​​the people are breathless now under the pressure of various taxes. If we add more taxes, it will be like adding insult to injury to the people!"

Muchen originally thought that Tian Maosheng was a rare opponent, but he didn't expect that he would dare to mention taxes on the first day he went to court. He thought that all the merits of coming to the Tian family were in vain.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, does not know that the taxation policy in the Northland is planned and implemented by His Highness. Now, those who pay taxes in the Northland are not ordinary people, but the big businessmen!"

The annual tax revenue in the Northland is considerable, and Tian Tian spends a small portion of it every year to reward officials of all sizes in the Northland. It is said that the reward is more than their annual salary.

"Oh? That minister is really ignorant. I hope Your Highness will give you some advice!"

Since ancient times, the people who have paid taxes have been the common people. The land tax and head tax are a mess and they only add up to a small sum. If you can take some out of the pockets of merchants, it will definitely not be small money.

"The set of policies implemented in the North may not be suitable for promotion throughout Daqi. Let's do this. After the dynasty is dismissed, the left and right prime ministers will stay to discuss tax issues, and everyone else should step aside!"

Tian Tian summoned Tian Maosheng and Muchen into the imperial study alone.

"Are you tired, little aunt? Why did the last court session take so long?"

Tian Cuihua has been waiting for a long time.

"Eldest niece! It's you! Why are you getting younger and more beautiful after not seeing me for several years?"

Seeing Tian Cuihua, Tian Tian suddenly forgot that she was the crown princess, and happily pulled Tian Cuihua to talk about daily life.

"Ahem, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it later. The prime ministers on the left and right are looking at you!"

The Imperial Master couldn't help but remind Tian Maosheng, that's all. His own people won't say anything. Muchen's little fox's eyes were darting around, and he didn't know what he was thinking!

"Oh, third brother asked Muchen to go to the imperial study. I have a book on my desk about the current policies implemented in the North. You can show it to Muchen and you can read it too!"

After the morning court, the Crown Princess turned into the cheerful Tian Tian again.
