[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

In fact, there has been such a discussion in the cabinet about the inclusion of sweet potatoes into the tax system.If this year is another year of good weather, there may be some objections, after all, cheap grain hurts farmers.But the imperial court has been plagued by locusts for two consecutive years. If there is another flood this year, the country will definitely not be able to provide so much food to relieve the victims. Therefore, Gu Zhizhang is thinking of including sweet potatoes in the tax system, in order to stimulate the whole country. People, let the people all over the country grow sweet potatoes.

Anyway, sweet potatoes don’t pick a lot of land, just a little planted on the hillside can satisfy a family’s chewing needs.Sweet potatoes don't choose the land, and the yield is still high. Basically, as long as it is a hillside land, it can be planted.As long as every household of the common people grows sweet potatoes, basically there is no need to worry about famine, and the country is naturally stable.

Gu Zhizhang thought so, so he proposed to include sweet potatoes in the tax system.As for the rest of the high output, easy preservation, and low loss, they are all incidental and used to persuade colleagues.

In fact, Gu Zhizhang proposed this proposal in the cabinet as early as last year, but some people said that cheap grain would hurt farmers, so it was shelved.If it wasn't for the peach blossom flood this year, which seems to be more severe than in previous years, maybe it is a major flood that is rare in a century, this proposal would not have been passed in the Golden Luan Hall so quickly.

Of course, this is also inseparable from adequate communication in advance.As for the Golden Luan Hall, it was just a vote of all officials. Although it was just a cutscene, from a procedural point of view, this cutscene was also extremely important.

Now that the taxation of sweet potatoes has been voted on, naturally, the matter of today's Golden Temple is over.Even if that stunned young man wanted to continue talking about Li Chu, he couldn't believe that the emperor, the cabinet, and the Jingzhao Mansion were in a hurry to implement this decree, so this time the matter of Li Chu was just an anticlimax, and it just passed.

For the next half month, the emperor will not have to go to the Golden Luan Hall, and the Funing Hall, to put it bluntly, people with insufficient status will not be able to enter the Funing Hall. If you can't even touch the door, how can you talk to the emperor about establishing a reserve?

The emperor is no idiot either.

Of course he knew that someone was in a hurry.However, his thoughts are somewhat different from those of the Queen and Zhu Guiren.

In the eyes of the queen and nobleman Zhu, Jia Yan set up a game against nobleman Zhu in front of the emperor. Of course, although she was a little more radical, her purpose was still to consolidate the imperial power.At this point, the emperor really can't blame her.

If Jia Yan was an ordinary concubine in the harem, of course the emperor could scold her and directly throw his face away, saying that the harem should not interfere in politics.But the sweet potato is Jia Yan's talisman. As long as the people in the world remember the goodness of the sweet potato, the emperor can't blame Jia Yan.On the contrary, he has to treat Jia Yan well, give glory and wealth, and favor Jia Yan's family depending on the situation.

To put it bluntly, if the emperor can't tolerate Jia Yan, he can only secretly drug Jia Yan to make Jia Yan weaker day by day, and finally become weak to death, but he can't make a decree to depose Jia Yan as a commoner.

Both the queen and noble Zhu are very aware of this.Therefore, no matter how much they hated Concubine Jia Shu in their hearts, it was impossible for them to speak ill of Jia Yan in front of the emperor and provoke the emperor's anger.

What's more, now that Jia Yan has not violated the emperor's bottom line, and secondly, Jia Yan is indeed considering the emperor from the emperor's standpoint.That's why the emperor agreed with Lord Zhu's proposal to reward Jia Yan with a pearl.

The emperor's purpose is twofold, and both the empress and noble Zhu can see it:

For one thing, the emperor was trying to appease Jia Yan, saying that Jia Yan was thinking about him, even if his words and deeds were inappropriate, his intentions were still good, and he would not care about it.

Second, accepting Zhu Guiren’s opinion and rewarding Jia Yan with a dendrobium of pearls is to imperceptibly elevate the status of Zhu Guiren, affirm Zhu Guiren’s power in the harem and his position in the king’s heart, and also imply the meaning of beating the harem , which means that noble Zhu is the head of the three nobles, not that the six concubines can be compared.

The emperor's intentions, whether it is the empress or noble Zhu, they are all clear.

The difference is that both the queen and Mrs. Zhu knew that Mrs. Zhu was not fooled, but followed suit and followed suit, stepping on the emperor's cordon and setting traps for all the concubines and concubines' natal families in the palace, waiting for those people jump down.

But the emperor didn't think so much. After all, he had a lot of things to do for the flood that was likely to happen this year. How could he have so much time to worry about the women in the harem?The emperor only needs to know that his two sons, as well as Concubine Wu and Concubine Zhou, have moved for the crown prince.

The emperor doesn't care, but there are some things that can't be passed without him not caring.On the first day of March, someone in the Golden Luan Palace once again raised the matter of establishing a reserve, and this time, even more people agreed.

Officials bowed down to the emperor one by one, asking the emperor to make a crown prince:

"Long live, please establish a reserve as soon as possible, so that the hearts of the world can be reassured!"

"Long live, please establish a reserve as soon as possible, so that the hearts of the world can be reassured!"

While pleading with the emperor, these courtiers kowtowed heavily, and some even broke their heads, staining the gold bricks in front of them blood red.

The emperor was extremely angry, and what made him even more angry was that among these people were the queen's father and brother!

At this time, the urgent messenger rushed into the Jinluan Hall: "Report~! Peach Blossom Flood! The Peach Blossom Flood broke through the embankment! Yuzhou has become a swamp country!"

The emperor stood up suddenly.

There are still two idiots who are still shouting: "Long live, please establish a reserve as soon as possible, so as to calm the wrath of God!"

The emperor kicked over the royal case in front of him at that time:

"Enough! Now you want me to set up a reserve to quell the wrath of the gods. Next time, do you want me to abdicate to thank the locust god?! Come, let me take all of these!"

The Forbidden Captain Long on the Jinluan Palace immediately rushed over and took all these officials down. Some of them were still struggling to shout something, but they didn't want to see that there were many smart people among the Forbidden Dragons who had sweated a long time ago. The towels blocked the mouths of these people.

The emperor walked away.

On the Golden Luan Hall, the civil and military officials headed by the left prime minister Qi Qian and the right prime minister Liang Erming who were still lying on the ground knew that these stunned youths were probably being used by others.If you really want to set up a reserve, how can you be so hasty?Why should I go to the book first to express the second prince's ability.

But what about these people?

It's not that Qi Qian said that these stunned youths were not asking the emperor to establish a crown prince at all, but were deliberately intimidating and angering the emperor!

The emperor just put them in prison, already in a good temper!
