Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Chunzhi was stunned. "This... is our young lady's Liufang Courtyard in front. Why don't you go to Liufang Courtyard first and have a seat there? After reporting to the master, I will invite you over."

Qiu Yuzhu thought about it and said, "Okay then."

Yan Ci only knew that Qiu Fuqiu had come. When he saw the two people led in by Chunzhi, his surprise was beyond words.

Chunzhi quickly walked to Yan Ci and introduced him, "This is Madam Qiu, she is here to visit the master."

Yan Ci understood immediately and said with a smile on his face: "Madam, please wait a moment. My father may be in the study. I will send Chunzhi to ask over there. When my father is done, I will ask you to come over."

Qiu Yuzhu nodded.

Qiu Fuqiu had already walked over and grabbed Yan Ci, asking, "How is your Yan Mansion doing? I heard someone came from the palace. Is everything alright?"

After Yan Ci asked Qiu Fuqiu and her daughter to sit down, he replied, "It's all right. The emperor has issued an edict, and my father has been reinstated."

"That's great! I heard from Xie Chengyin that it was your father who came up with the idea of ​​land tax. That's amazing."

Qiu Yuzhu leaned over and said, "What land tax? It's called the land tax."

This statement made Yan Ci's eyes light up, and he immediately looked at Qiu Yuzhu, "Madam, what do you mean by the land tax distribution? Can you explain it in detail?"

Qiu Yuzhu looked proud and said, "This 'Tan Ding Ru Mu' is the idea of ​​your father to change the population tax into a land tax, but it's just a simpler way of saying it.

"It always takes a process to change from an old system to a new one. The land tax is the summary of this process. It also means the growth and transformation of a country, which is not only beneficial to the country, but also to the people."

"You are absolutely right, Madam Qiu, you are really knowledgeable. Yan Ci is grateful for your advice. Madam, do you think there is anything we should pay attention to when implementing the policy of allocating land tax to each acre?"

Qiu Yuzhu thought for a moment, "Although the land tax system has reduced the burden on farmers, it has also bound them. They will live and reproduce where their land is for generations, which seriously hinders the development of the commodity economy."

"Commodity economy?" Yan Ci heard a word she had never heard of before. Although it was unfamiliar, it aroused her great interest.

"Commodity economy is about doing business. National development cannot rely solely on farming. We must also develop commerce, that is, trade with foreign countries and exchange our surplus goods for what we don't have."

Yan Ci listened to Qiu Yuzhu carefully, and suddenly realized that she had only thought of a small change in the tax system, but Qiu Yuzhu showed her a whole picture that was enough to make Daxing prosperous.

If the country could really be developed as Qiu Yuzhu said, Daxing at that time would have become a rich and powerful country, completely different from what it is today.

Qiu Fuqiu sat nearby and watched the two people's non-stop discussion, from the land tax to the commodity economy, and from the commodity economy to the foreign trade economy, she was completely overwhelmed by what she heard.

She clearly came to talk to Yan Ci, but in the end, she only said two sentences from beginning to end.

Feeling somewhat depressed, she picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp. She looked at the two people interacting with each other in a boring way and had no room to interrupt.

At this time Chunzhi came back from outside. She had already gone to the front yard to ask, and found out that the master had already dealt with the matter and was now free.

She bowed and interrupted the conversation between Yan Ci and Qiu Yuzhu.

"Miss, Madam Qiu, the master is already in the front yard, Madam, you may go ahead."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Qiu Yuzhu stood up quickly and glanced back at Yan Ci, "This is the first time I've met an ancient person who understands me so well. Wait for me, I'll come and talk to you after I meet your father."

Yan Ci smiled and watched Qiu Yuzhu leave.

When he turned around, he met Qiu Fuqiu's eyes full of resentment. His pouting mouth was so thick that a soy sauce bottle could be hung on it. "Aci, you are ignoring me."

Yan Ci took the teapot and poured tea for Qiu Fuqiu. "How could I ignore you? I was attracted by your mother's idea of ​​allocating land tax to each acre. But after listening to Madam Qiu's words today, the land tax can be improved a lot and implemented more smoothly."

Qiu Fuqiu scratched her head and said, "Why are you so concerned about the land tax? These government affairs are men's business. It's not you who is in charge of them. Why do you worry so much about them?"

Yan Ci took a sip of tea and said mysteriously, "How do you know it's not me who's promoting it?"

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"I have been appointed as the imperial lady-in-waiting by the emperor, and I am the one who will be responsible for perfecting the land tax."

Qiu Fuqiu was completely stunned. "You were appointed as a court lady!"

What surprised her even more was the second half of the sentence, "You are the one who is going to improve the land tax. Why you?"

“Because it was me who suggested it.”

Yan Ci's answer sounded like a matter of course, but Qiu Fuqiu was so frightened that she almost fell backwards.

Before Qiu Fuqiu could continue asking, Qiu Yuzhu strode into the room, rushed directly towards Yan Ci, hugged Yan Ci and said excitedly.

"My dear! No wonder you understand me."

Yan Ci and Qiu Fuqiu were both stunned. Qiu Fuqiu said hesitantly, "Mom, you picked up the wrong person."

Qiu Yuzhu gave Qiu Fuqiu a look of disdain, then turned to Yan Ci and said, "Tell me quickly, what year did you travel through time? How old are you this year? What did you do before you traveled through time?"

After learning from Yan Tonglin that the person who proposed the land tax was Yan Ci, Qiu Yuzhu ran back without stopping. Seeing Yan Ci was like seeing a relative, a relative from the same world.

Yan Ci was confused. What was this time travel?

Breaking away from Qiu Yuzhu's warm embrace, Yan Ci quietly glanced at that chest that was even more turbulent than Jiang Qingqing's, and swallowed silently.

"Um, Madam, what does this time travel mean?"

Qiu Yuzhu was stunned. "You don't know? You didn't travel through time? Then how do you know about the land tax?"

After three consecutive questions, Yan Ci calmly replied: "Didn't you tell me that?"

"And what about the land tax?"

"The land tax is something I came up with based on the issue of refugees, and it's not perfect yet."

After hearing what Yan Ci said, the light of expectation in Qiu Yuzhu's eyes slowly faded. She thought he was a person of the same kind, but it turned out that she was just being wishful thinking.

Qiu Yuzhu sat dejectedly on the chair, replaying the six years she had traveled through in her mind.

With no one to understand her and no one to talk to, she lived like an outsider.

Although many people envied her unrestrained life, she knew that they were all talking about her being immoral behind her back.

Behaviors that are taken for granted in modern times were difficult to accept in ancient times.

After all, it is the thinking of the ancients, which is conservative.

Today, she met Yan Ci and found that although she was similar to her, she was also different. However, she could understand her better than those conservative ancient people.

A rare person with leading ideas.

Qiu Yuzhu suddenly grabbed Yan Ci's hand and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you didn't travel through time. You and I get along very well. We are half relatives. We will be sisters from now on."

Qiu Fuqiu's eyes widened instantly, "Mom, you are sisters, then what am I?"

"As for you, if you want to call me mom, then you can call me Auntie Aci. If you want to call me sister, then the three of us are sisters. You can choose for yourself."

Qiu Fuqiu was so upset, how could she not choose?

There is no way to choose this.

Good sisters become aunts, good mothers become sisters.

Where is the heaven!
