my wife is mulan

"It's so fragrant, I like it very much!"

Hua Mulan asked, "How are these perfumes made?"

"Want to know?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

"Ok!"

"Then come with me!" Zhao Junsheng brought Hua Mulan to the winery in the palace after finishing speaking.

Hua Mulan looked at the distillation equipment and wondered, "Is this what perfume is made of?"

"Yes, the raw material is fresh flowers!"

Hua Mulan slapped her forehead: "No wonder, I said why the flowers in the imperial garden are gone, so it turns out that you asked people to pick them all to make perfume!"

Zhao Junsheng sneered: "Well... the flowers can grow again after picking them. You can see that this perfume smells amazing all day long!"

Hua Mulan stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhao Junsheng's arm, causing Zhao Junsheng to grin his teeth in pain.

"Hmph, for the sake of your contribution in making perfume, I will let you go this time, and you must tell me next time you want to pick flowers from the Royal Garden!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Junsheng quickly agreed, and turned his head to look, "Hey, where is the water that comes out with the perfume? It won't be thrown away, right?"

One of the eunuchs quickly said: "Your servant sees that the water is very fragrant, and it is packed in a porcelain bottle!"

Zhao Junsheng took a large bottle of perfume from the eunuch and said to Hua Mulan, "Actually, the perfume I gave you should be called flower essential oil. These are perfumes. It is steamed out together with essential oil, and the water contains a small amount of water. The essential oils are also very fragrant!"

As Zhao Junsheng said, he handed the big porcelain bottle to the eunuch and told him, "Put them in exquisite small porcelain bottles and find someone to open a shop in the city to sell this kind of perfume. The price will be higher, and a small bottle will sell for three hundred yuan!"

Hua Mulan gasped: "...you are trying to steal money!"

"You have also done business, don't you know the truth about rare goods?"

Zhao Junsheng's rhetorical question made Hua Mulan very speechless, and she gave him a blank look: "That was before, but now our identities...doesn't seem appropriate?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "You think I don't know? I thought about it for a long time, and decided to cancel the regulation of using part of the tax to supplement the internal funds. From now on, all the money in the internal funds will be obtained from the royal family's shops and lands; , The tribute of officials! The royal family does not take a penny of the taxes collected, all of which are taken from the people and used by the people! And there is another benefit in doing so.”

"What's the benefit?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "In the past few years, the imperial court spent a lot of money, and the household department often ran out of money, and then the ministers came to me to ask me to open the internal treasury to allocate internal funds for emergency. You also know that those people often took the internal funds and ended up If you don’t pay it back, instead of taking it in and taking it out, it’s better not to take a single penny, the royal family makes money for themselves, and the ministers will have no reason to ask for the opening of the internal treasury to transfer the internal money!”

Hua Mulan said: "You have a good idea, but when the court is really in trouble and needs money, can you just watch and not help?"

"Help, who says no? I can lend the internal funds to the household department. After the next taxation comes up, I will return the principal with interest. How much interest is the interest of the people, and I will calculate the interest for them. Taking advantage of the imperial court! Now those people have nothing to say, right?"

Hua Mulan nodded, "It's good to do this, the royal family is self-sufficient, and we don't take advantage of the common people! Let me handle the business of the royal family's business. I feel quite bored staying in the palace all day. I have something to do. OK!"

"it is good!"

At the meeting on the first day of October.

Cui Hao stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, yesterday I received a memorial from Yuchi Yandong, the general of Liangzhou Township. Juqu Wuji defeated Juqu Tang'er and captured Dunhuang. Juqu Tang'er was killed, and most of his subordinates surrendered. taboo!"

When the ministers heard the news, they all began to discuss.

"Why is this Juqu Tang'er so useless? He said he has at least 5000 people in his hands. How can he be so ungrateful?"

"That's right, Juqu Tang'er suffered such a defeat, his power was absorbed by Juqu Wuji, and Juqu Wuji's power has grown a little bit,

I'm afraid it will become a big problem on the frontier sooner or later! "

"Your Majesty, Juqu is rebellious and rebellious. I fear that this person will be difficult to control in the future. Please send troops to annihilate him as soon as possible!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about the time required for a cup of tea, and he decreed: "Weijuan, I order you to be the general of Zhengxi, and command [-] troops to conquer Juquwushi!"

Wei Juan has been idled by Zhao Junsheng for several years since he returned to Qian Kingdom. He has been serving as a general in Qianjing for the past few years and has no real power. However, he immediately stood up and clasped his fists in agreement: "The minister takes orders!"

Chapter 770

In Qianguo, the names of generals such as Zhengdong, Zhengxi, Zhengnan, Zhenbei, Anton, Anxi, etc. have become temporary military officers, and will be automatically revoked after the task is completed.

Weijuan, the general who conquered the west, obviously also belonged to this column, but this general who conquered the west gave him the power to lead troops to conquer.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Is there any Qing family who has something to play?"

No one answered.

"Since the ministers have nothing to announce, let me tell you one thing. In the past few years, the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts have always been in deficit. Every time they are short of money, they come to me and ask me to open the internal treasury to allocate internal funds for emergency. The money is taken from [-]% of the tax. Since it has been charged to the internal treasury as royal expenses, why do we have to go back many times for emergencies? Why not return the treasury after it is full?"

The ministers were quite embarrassed when they heard that their faces were feverish.

Zhao Junsheng knocked on the imperial case and said in a cold voice: "The emperor's life is more difficult than that of ordinary people. You ministers live a much more comfortable life than me. You eat delicious food, drink spicy food, and wear fine clothes. Silks and satins, delicacies from mountains and seas to eat, and fine nectar to drink!"

"I'm telling you now that the royal family no longer needs taxes to support them. All the taxes go to the national treasury. I don't need a penny. The royal family supports themselves by opening shops, businesses, and running farms. I am the same as you. Receive a salary, and the expenses of the maids and eunuchs are all borne by the royal family themselves, and there is no need for a penny from the court!"

A minister below asked: "Your Majesty, according to the regulations of the imperial court, each family can own up to two thousand acres of land. I wonder how many acres the royal family wants to own?"

Zhao Junsheng pinched his fingers and calculated, "There are more than 30 eunuchs and maids in the palace now. If I accept a concubine in the future, I will definitely increase the number of eunuchs and maids. It is not too much for me to ask for [-] mu of fertile land, right?"

Minister Gao Yun stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, the royal family runs farms, and the ministers have no objection, but letting the royal family run shops and businesses is not very pleasant to say. Merchants are cheap businesses after all..."

Zhao Junsheng scolded: "Who told you that merchants are cheap?"

"This... His Majesty stipulated that ministers, officials and their children and family members are not allowed to engage in business and trade in the early years, but now the royal family..."

"Boom!" Zhao Junsheng slapped the imperial case and was furious: "You don't allow the royal family to run shops, firms, or engage in commerce, right? All right, let the Ministry of Households return all the money and food owed to the internal treasury over the years, and I don't want interest Just repay all the principal, and [-]% of the annual tax will still be charged to the internal treasury. If the treasury of the household department is short of money in the future, don’t look for me, and I will not open the internal treasury to help the household department! Why is the imperial envoy here?”

He Zeng stood up and saluted: "The minister is here!"

"Just now Gao Yun said that I made an edict in the early years to prohibit court ministers, officials, and family members and children from engaging in commercial activities. His words reminded me that after so many years, I would like to know how many people in the court have violated my will. , since Gao Yun brought up this matter first, let’s start the investigation from his family! I will give you full authorization to preside over it under the Yushitai, and the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will cooperate!”

"The Yushitai is an important yamen of the imperial court. You have to perform your duties of supervising the officials, and you can't eat a vegetarian meal. Otherwise, what's the use of the imperial court setting up the Yushitai? What's the point of your existence?"

He Zeng broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "I obey the order, and I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!"

Cui Hao stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the idea of ​​allowing the royal family to support themselves is feasible and worthy of encouragement. You can earn fame for the royal family without the taxes of the common people. I agree with your majesty's decision!"

"The minister also agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

The ministers bowed down one after another, but after a while, all the ministers knelt down.

"Since everyone agrees, this matter is settled!" Zhao Junsheng got up and walked out after speaking.

The eunuch shouted: "Retire!"

All the ministers shouted together: "Respectfully send off Your Majesty!"
