The Reborn Wife is Farming

Mu Yangling hadn't studied Qing history specifically, but because it wasn't very old, even if she didn't study it in depth, she still knew some common sense that she should know.

Emperor Kangxi is very powerful, but at the same time, he is also very extravagant. His extravagance is not manifested in his daily life, but in his several trips to the south of the Yangtze River.

Officials along the coast spent their money like flowing water in order to pick them up. Emperor Kangxi said that he should save money, but in fact he said that the officials built gardens and bought exotic flowers and plants. , but the salary of the officials is only that, where do they get the money?

It is either exploited from the people or borrowed from the national treasury, and in the end it comes from the people.

Yongzheng was so cruel to his brother, why did he still get such a high evaluation in the history books?

Because what he took over from Kangxi was a mess, a dynasty that was prosperous on the surface but decayed on the inside. The second half of the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong was supported, and the first half was laid by Kangxi. As for the prodigal son of Qianlong, he was dedicated to consuming the wealth accumulated by his father and the Qingming officials. Who he admired most was Kangxi God, not his father?

It can be said that Qianlong and Gaozong of the Great Zhou Dynasty were like brothers in trouble.

Mu Yangling didn't want his little treasure to grow up to be like Kangxi and Qianlong, spending money like running water and blindly prodigal.

The Southern Tour has benefits, but compared with its harms, those benefits are almost negligible.

Mu Yangling spread out the paper and wrote down one by one, the emperor's traveling chariots, horses and ceremonies, accompanying guards and royal guards, as well as accompanying palace servants, food and accommodation along the way, pick-ups along the way , as well as palaces or gardens built for pick-up, rare treasures that officials want to collect...

The data obtained made the five children's mouths wide open. Only the second prince, who didn't know the magic of money, looked at the five elder brothers blankly, wondering why they all gasped, looking so shocked.

Sanxiao and Xiaoxiong all looked at Xiaobao accusingly, and said, "You are so rich."

Xiao Bao hurriedly shook his hand, "I don't have any money now." After a pause, he continued: "My father's internal treasury doesn't have that much money, even if I have so much money after I become emperor, I can't bear to spend it just to go out so much."

Mu Yangling put down his pen and said: "This is still a conservative estimate. If the officials who pick up the driver blindly seek novelty and money, I'm afraid they won't be able to beat the two million. Do you know how much Emperor Sui Yang will spend next time? During this period, countless people and money will be wasted. Don’t say it’s for patrolling, you’re traveling in a holy car, don’t the local officials dare to let you see beggars walking along the street, and the victims starve to death? It’s been whitewashed for a long time, Xiaobao, I said let you come out to see the outside world and experience it , I didn't ask you to go on tour like this, although it is wrong for you to leave the palace this time, what you see is the most real people's livelihood."

Xiao Bao thought about it.

"Don't think that after you become the emperor, you will take the royal driver out with an order. It will not only harm the people, but also yourself. It is recorded in the history books, and you will only get a compliment to show the prestige of the country. , I’m afraid it’s more about scolding you for being extravagant, but you are actually very frugal, do you think you’re wronged?”

Xiao Bao nodded fiercely, "It's an unjust death."

Mu Yangling touched his head and said, "Fourth Aunt doesn't have any good opinions on your trip to Beijing for training, but your proposal is obviously not good. Let's think about it slowly. If it doesn't work, you can save the place you want to go to." , I will give the Zen seat to your son and come out to play again."

Xiao Bao pouted and said, "This is my fourth uncle's idea, not mine."

Mu Yangling gritted his teeth, thinking that Qi Haoran's ideas were all bad ideas.

Seeing that they finished talking, the second prince raised his little hand and asked, "Fourth Aunt, can we go out to see the sea today? I have never seen the sea since I grew up."

"I haven't seen it either." Xiaobao shouted.

Mu Yangling smiled, "How old are you? Just say something like this. That's fine. Let Little Bear take you there, but you have to come back early in the afternoon. Also, don't go into the sea."

The six children hurriedly responded and ran out happily.

Mu Yangling took the bill on the table to Qi Haoran to settle the score, so that he would give the children less bad ideas.

Mu Yangling spread the bill in front of his eyes, and said, "Look, the advice you provided, Xiaobao's travel expenses after he ascended the throne."

Qi Haoran's eyes widened, and he shouted: "You distorted the meaning of the master, how could it cost so much for a trip?"

"Then who among the emperors of the past dynasties went out for pure play or inspection, and how much did they spend?"

Qi Haoran stared.

Mu Yangling counted with his fingers, "I don't study much, and the only ones I can count are Qin Shihuang and Sui Yangdi, oh, and Zhou Shizong, but it is said that he only walked halfway, and seeing the huge expenses, he was very heartbroken. On the way back, I also killed several corrupt officials who used the mouth of the emperor to corrupt and search for the people, who else is there besides them?"

"There are too many. Several emperors of the Tang Dynasty have traveled."

"Oh, where did they go and how much did they cost?"

Qi Haoran frowned, "I'm not a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, how can I know where they went and how much they spent? In short, the cost will not be so high, otherwise the courtiers would have fallen out."

"That must be a lot. Do you know how much our family of five spent traveling from the south to the north, eating, drinking, living, and having fun?"

Qi Haoran looked at Mu Yangling.

"Two hundred taels is enough for the sky, but it is frugal for the emperor to travel two hundred thousand taels a time. If, like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, people build palaces in advance and search for rare treasures, two million taels may not be enough. Two hundred Wan, think about the rattling silver..."

Qi Haoran sat on the chair with a stern face for a while, and said: "When Xiaobao comes back, the master will tell him that he is not allowed to travel with the imperial car."

"Don't worry, you don't need to talk about it. Who do you think the bill was calculated for? When the kid sees the ledger, he won't be driven out of Beijing if he is killed. The kid is holding it."

"That's what you taught..." Qi Haoran muttered in a low voice.

He felt that boys would not change their lack of money. Of course, daughters should be richer. Thinking of his daughter, Qi Haoran couldn't help but look at Mu Yangling's belly, touched her belly, and said, "Ah Ling, let the king The imperial doctor will show you, Hutou and the others are five years old, why don't we have a daughter yet?"

Mu Yangling's face turned dark when she saw that he was digressing, but she also wanted to have a beautiful, well-behaved daughter.

Seeing her thinking, Qi Haoran immediately hugged her and begged, "Why don't you find a few more doctors to show you, Imperial Physician Wang is only one person, so there may be some omissions."

Mu Yangling twisted his waist and said, "We're talking about business."

"Is there a bigger business than this? If you don't object, it's as if you agree."

"Why is it only me who sees it, it may also be your problem."

"How is this possible?" Qi Haoran said confidently, "Men all over the world have problems, and it is impossible for him to have problems."

Mu Yangling snorted and said, "Anyway, if you don't look at it, I won't look at it either. We have to watch it together."

Qi Haoran hurriedly coaxed her, "Okay, okay, I will stay with you, you are so old, how can you hide your illness and avoid medical treatment..."
