As a generation of officialdom vixen Lin Ruhai who was able to have both sides between the former emperor and the emperor, and live more and more nourishingly, if it weren't for Xing Xiuyan's initiative to contact the military, the first thing Lin Ruhai did after adding the yellow robe was to amnesty the world.
Lin Ruhai proclaimed to the world as the new ruler of the new dynasty, pardoning the people's uprising for the food and clothing problem, and at the same time announced that he would care for the people and solve the people's food and clothing problem.
I have to say that the reputation that sweet potatoes brought to Lin Ruhai was really useful. After hearing the news, many mobs put down their weapons on their own initiative, but most of them did not follow the edict. , Go to the nearest government office to register, but still choose to go to the capital.
They don't trust these former officials.
On the other side, Xing Xiuyan, like Lin Daiyu, not only has her own princess mansion, but also has the power of regent.
Lin Ruhai is actually very clear that he is already old, his son is still young, and his wife Cheng Shi has some means, but there are many things in the harem, and there are many eunuchs and maids who are loyal to the former dynasty.Cheng Shiguang was too busy taking care of their father and son and cleaning up the inner court, so many things had to be delegated.
Not to mention, although the Lin family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, Lin Ruhai's branch is far away from the clan. If something happens, the clan can't be relied on by his children.Therefore, under such circumstances, it is necessary to give the daughter the power of regent.Therefore, after entrusting several close clan members according to the custom, for example, Lin Zhan was the Lord of Boling County, Lin Ruhai immediately gave his two daughters the power of regent.
As for Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan, who have already reached the age of marriage, this matter was put on hold by the new court.
Because everyone knows that the so-called marriage of a princess is just a reward for meritorious ministers, so before the appearance of a new great hero in the new dynasty, neither Lin Daiyu nor Xing Xiuyan will meet for marriage.
This is also one of the unspoken rules of high society.
Mrs. Xing was not used to this.
It seems that yesterday, she was able to raise her daughter by relying on her identity as a biological mother, but now, she is the wife of a courtier, but her daughter has become an adopted daughter of the royal family and a member of the new royal family.And she is only the wife of a courtier, and she is not allowed to enter the palace without a call.
This made her very uncomfortable.
But if you are not used to it, you are not used to it, but Mrs. Xing knows very well that the princess will not worry about the rest of her life.If the daughters of subjects are not married, they have to worry about pensions in their later years, but the royal princess is different. The princess is raised by the state. As long as Lin Ruhai is the emperor, as Lin Ruhai's adopted daughter, Xing Xiuyan doesn't have to worry about it for the rest of her life.
Therefore, Mrs. Xing just muttered something and then dropped her hand.
Her daughter's future is set, so she should worry more about her only son.And their Xing family's property also needs her to worry about it.
For Xing Xiuyan and Lin Daiyu, the identity of the princess is not a change of pomp and followers, but a change of the power they possess.
Now, they can finally discuss government affairs openly.
Because they are princess regents.
Sitting in the Nuan Pavilion of the Zichen Palace, Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan were wearing brand-new princess uniforms, sitting in front of Lin Ruhai and Cheng Shi, and talking to Lin Ruhai about government affairs.
Xing Xiuyan said: "Father, my daughter doesn't understand much about the affairs in the court, but there is one thing that my daughter has been thinking about for several years. I hope my father will consider it carefully."
"Oh? What is it?" Lin Ruhai asked.
"It's taxes."
"Tax?"
"Yes. Taxes can best reflect the relationship between the country and its subjects. Taxes are also related to the operation of the country. Insufficient tax revenue directly affects the country's fiscal revenue. Without state fiscal revenue, the country will not function well. There are no honest officials. It is because of the serious shortage of national tax revenue that the officials' salaries are meager. This is why corruption has become common throughout the country. If you want the horse to run fast, but you don't want to give the fodder, such behavior is undoubtedly forcing the horse to steal the fodder. Father, My daughter believes that if we want to change the country's corruption, we must first solve the current situation that officials' salaries are too meager."
Cheng said: "However, where does the current imperial court get money to add salaries to civil and military officials?"
Lin Daiyu said: "Mother, my daughter and sister have discussed this matter, and we all think that it is necessary to lift the sea ban."
Cheng frowned immediately: "The sea ban? But in the former Song Dynasty, overseas trade was prevalent, which increased the burden on the people."
Lin Daiyu said: "Although overseas trade was popular in the former Song Dynasty, almost the whole country participated in smuggling, from the civil and military officials of the court to the small people in the coastal areas. The so-called smuggling is actually tax evasion. The country's fiscal revenue has decreased. , a large amount of gold and silver poured into Zhongtu, and Zhongtu's copper coins flowed overseas. However, after thousands of years of mining in the Central Plains, the copper mines have been exhausted, so that the copper coins cannot be replenished in time, which has caused domestic prices to rise rapidly. Therefore, my daughter thinks, The sea ban must be opened, because now the imperial court cannot obtain income from other places, and can only rely on the huge profits of maritime trade. Only when the country has a surplus in finances can the imperial court have the capital to carry out tax reforms."
Lin Ruhai said: "I, I have intended this matter for a long time. However, this initial step cannot be too big. In this way, since you are the regent princess, you are authorized to form an armed fleet and engage in cross-sea trade .However, since you have mentioned the tax issue, then the tax on maritime trade cannot be saved!"
Xing Xiuyan grinned and said: "Father, don't worry, my daughter will save it! [-]% of the profits from maritime trade will become the national tax, and my daughter will pay [-]% of her filial piety to her father. I hope that my father can set up sixteen sea guards as soon as possible to ensure that my daughter's ship can sail unimpeded on the sea."
Lin Ruhai laughed out loud when he heard about it.
That's how things settled.
When the edict was passed to the Zhengshitang, Lu Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, heard the edict and sighed when he saw that the income of the Shibo Division would go to the treasury.
In fact, China has banned the sea for a long time. When Emperor Xian of the previous dynasty just opened the sea ban, although he did not express it, he did not think that opening the sea ban might change the current situation of the imperial court's insufficient revenue.
But what happened?In order to compete for power with his father Gaozong, Emperor Xian directly assigned Shibosi to the inner court.This undoubtedly increased the power of the inner court and further weakened the power of the previous dynasty.
Now that Xinjun drafted such an edict, Lu Lun was the first to express his approval:
"The country has been suffering from famines for years, and money and food are needed everywhere. This is the case for Long Live. The treasury will not need to increase taxes, and the turnover will not be overwhelmed. Very good, very good."
Lu Lun is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was originally in charge of the imperial court's taxation and edicts. He expressed his approval. Of course, the other ministers would not easily oppose it.
The edict was transferred to the Privy Council, and the Privy Council did not object.It's just that the name of the navy is called the Six Guards of the Sea, and it's not a big deal.
When the news reached the inner court, the eunuchs, big and small, were overjoyed.
They are all rootless people who can only rely on the royal family to live. If the royal family doesn't trust them and don't use them, then their lives will be miserable.Now, although the new dynasty assigned the Department of Shipbuilding to the previous dynasty, the two princesses have been allowed to form an armed fleet soon, and they heard that they will pick people to go overseas with the ship, and the eunuchs are all moved.
They are not afraid of suffering, but they are afraid that there is no job assigned to them by their superiors.If the superiors don't assign them to do things, how can they get ahead?
The selection of the inner court began in the hope of these eunuchs, and the competition was very fierce.Of course, Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan were very satisfied with the final result.
Since the establishment of the Laizhou Shipping Department was not without benefits, at least many eunuchs in the inner court have learned a lot of dialect, so it is no problem to go overseas to negotiate with people and do business.
Neither Xing Xiuyan nor Lin Daiyu has the idea to interfere in the internal affairs of the surrounding countries, and their purpose is only to make money.
Because the country needs money, it needs a lot of money and food.
