Return of the Swallow

Chapter 242 Tax Grain

Seeing that Qin Yining didn't come up to talk to her immediately, and looking at the palace servants behind her, she knew that it was inconvenient now, so she just squeezed a smile and said, "The Xuansu Temple, which is arranged by the emperor himself, is incense. It's bound to be good."

The news of the emperor's obedience to public opinion is believed to be known to the world within a long time.

At that time, the people will definitely feel a sense of stability in their hearts, they will be more applauded for the emperor, and they will be more convinced of this mysterious concept.

As long as he thought of Qin Huai's analysis at home, the emperor not only used the matter to gain fame, but also kept Qin Yining in this golden cage ready to be near the water tower at any time, and the Sun family was worthless for his daughter.

Qin Yining had already ordered Xingyu and Fuxue.

"My maid is here, and now she has brought all my things. I will leave them here to serve in the future. You can also go back to the palace now."

Xingyu, Fuxue, Xiaoningzi and Xiaoyangzi all showed disbelief.

I have never seen anyone who can directly drive away the person the emperor ordered to send!

"Returning to the real person Xuansu, the emperor meant to let the slaves serve the real person."

A sneer broke out on Qin Yining's lips: "The emperor asked me to take my hair to practice, and I also have palace servants to serve. Is this a good thing? Now that my family has sent people to accompany me, I don't need people in the palace to serve me. If you want to clean up here, you won't be able to serve so many people. If you are afraid of the emperor's blame, you can tell the emperor that this is my order."

She was already forced to live here. It would be too embarrassing if she couldn't keep her cronies by her side, but instead brought these outsiders with her.

The four of them have all seen the emperor's love for Qin Yining, and have also seen how talented this person is. They can make the emperor punish the concubine Lin Shu who has served for many years in person, and they can also make the emperor's anger like thunder, but they are reluctant to touch her finger, so A character, they can't afford to be guilty.

After thinking about this, the four gave Qin Huaiyuan, Sun's and Qin Yining a salute and retreated.

Qin Yining smiled and handed Er Bai to Qiu Lu, and said with a smile, "I can live comfortably when you come. You go to arrange the luggage first, and I will talk to my father and mother."

"Yes."

Qiulu, Jiyun and Bingtang all carried their burdens into the house.

Qin Yining asked Qin Huaiyuan and Mrs Sun to sit down for tea in the main hall on the first floor of the attic.

Seeing that no one else was around, Mrs Sun held Qin Yining's hand and tears could not stop falling, and kept saying, "I've wronged you, I've wronged you."

Qin Yining had been tormented in the palace for a few days. Not only was his health not good, but it was even more serious. In addition, he had to deal with the emperor and the people in the palace. He had been exhausted for a long time. Now listening to Sun's words, his heart was sour, and his tears were almost on the verge of tears. Falling.

She blinked, forcibly holding back her tears, and then smiled: "Mother, don't feel sorry for me, there is nothing to be wronged. Now the situation is like this, the emperor killed me without anger, it is already the most It's a good ending, you can save your life, and the rest can be discussed in the long run."

Seeing that Qin Yining's expression was the same as Qin Huaiyuan's calmness and calmness, Sun shi nodded very moved.

Qin Yining looked to the left and right, and instructed Jiyun and the others who had just packed their luggage and came downstairs, "Go and watch outside and be careful around."

Ji Yun, Bing Tang and Qiu Lu knew that Qin Yining had something important to tell Qin Huaiyuan and Sun, so they nodded and left.

Qin Yining made sure that no one was eavesdropping, so he whispered: "Father, I have heard some things in the palace these two days. I wonder if you have heard anything outside."

"What's the matter?" Qin Huaiyuan thought back carefully, but didn't think of anything.

Qin Yining said: "I heard from the emperor's nurse, Jiao Momo, that this year's tax revenue from all over the country was sold by the Supreme Emperor halfway through, and the food was not shipped into the capital city at all. Is there such a thing?"

Because Emperor Taizong implemented silver bills to replace the circulation of large amounts of gold and silver when he founded the country, to reduce the loss of gold and silver during circulation, so these years, silver bills have been the most common currency.

However, due to the depreciation of the bank notes, and the quality of the bank notes directly affects the value of the bank notes of the same denomination, the taxation of the imperial court is carried out by collecting grain.

Such as the Dayan Dynasty, who lived in a rich and prosperous town in the south, every time the tax came, the cargo ships carrying the tax and grain would be crowded with Gangkou, and the carriages would be crowded with Kyoto.

This year's tax time has not yet come, and many areas have not yet harvested food. However, before the Emperor Taishang did not have the Zen seat, he added a few more taxes. Not only did he exploit all the people and businessmen near the capital, but the people of the whole country also added a layer of taxes.

It is conceivable that this year's talisman water is so heavy, and the taxes and grains must be more than before. Catching up with this year's natural disasters, the people will only be more troubled.

And Qin Yining heard what Jiao Ma said in a private chat with Xing Yu and a few people.

The Emperor Taishang collected taxes in advance and raised them, and the food he collected was actually sold for money.

Qin Huaiyuan was stunned and frightened.

"Sister Yi, is your news true?"

"Eight out of ten, nine out of ten are true. I heard what the emperor's wet nurse said. The private conversations in the palace are all from his own side. It wasn't shipped in."

Qin Huaiyuan frowned and said: "But the people in the household said that the tax and grain will arrive in half a month. Because my father heard the news earlier, he wanted to dissuade the emperor. This kind of exploitation of the people's fat and the people's cream, as an emperor How can we do it? But then I think, in the later stage of the war, the tiger Ben army will strictly encircle the Kyoto Palace, this tax may play a big role, you must know that after the Emperor Taishang increased taxes, this year's tax revenue If the food is hoarded in the city of Kyoto, it can be enough for the soldiers and ordinary people of the whole city to eat for three years under siege."

"Three years?" Qin Yining said in surprise: "So much! If there is such food, the capital will definitely be able to persevere. Although the Huben army of 100,000 people is Xiao Yong, their military supply line is too long, and at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, it was the North who took over. The state of Ji is in a mess, and the treasury has long been empty after years of wars. If we have enough food to eat for three years, we don’t have to worry about the Dazhou people not retreating.”

"Yes. But if what you say is true, things are going to be bad."

Qin Huaiyuan clasped his index finger on the table, and said after a while, "I know about this. I'll make it clear when I go back and ask the emperor's grace to allow me to send guards to protect you."

Qin Yining said worriedly, "I find it strange that the emperor's temperament is so easy to agree to the throne of Zen. When he exploited the people's fat and the people's cream, I thought, as an emperor, it would be too ugly to do so. Now it seems that he I even sold all the tax and grain for money, I am afraid it is still to leave a way out for myself."
