Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him

Chapter 512: Mother and daughter discuss national affairs

Xue Wenyu now has such thoughts, and he no longer looks down on women like before.

Instead, he really felt that issues like an empty treasury should be discussed with the child's grandfather, which would be more reliable.

But now the child had already spoken, and it was too late to stop him.

In order to avoid causing her displeasure, Xue Wenyu had no choice but to let Brother Hui do whatever he wanted.

There were only three of us at the table, so it didn't matter what we talked about or what her opinion was.

He won’t tell anyone, I hope Brother Hui won’t tell anyone.

"Wait, there's another dish. Bring it over first." Mu Yingbao said calmly as he served a large bowl of stewed beef with potatoes.

After placing it on the table, he sat down and looked at Brother Hui; "Well, what's the problem?"

"At the court this morning, Lord Shui from the Ministry of Revenue said that the national treasury is empty and the current reserve silver is only 58,000 taels." Brother Hui told very directly.

Mu Yingbao nodded when he heard this. The little money in the national treasury might not be able to last for long.

"Son, tell me what you think first." Mu Yingbao didn't give any advice directly, but let the child speak first. Xue Wenyu looked at the mother and the mother, one asked seriously, the other answered seriously, looking at such a serious question, it turned out that the mother and the mother were discussing it at the dinner table, how to describe this scene? Incredible, and a little funny.

It's like a child in an ordinary family discussing with his mother what to do when money is insufficient.

Therefore, Xue Wenyu didn't even want to interrupt.

He poured himself a glass of wine, sipped it while eating the delicacies made by his woman, and then admired the two most important people in his life discussing national affairs.

Brother Hui was not in a hurry to eat the delicious food for the first time. "Mother, I know that in the past, the most convenient way to empty the treasury was to increase taxes. However, the people in our country already live in poverty and hardship. If we exploit them further, even if we have money to prevent the army from mutiny, we cannot guarantee that there will be no civil unrest.

Moreover, his son decided to become the emperor not just to seek justice for his family, but also to let the people live a good life with no worries about food and clothing.

Therefore, the son does not intend to increase taxes. On the contrary, he wants to reduce certain taxes.

My son took a quick look at the accounts and found that the daily expenses in the palace were a considerable sum. Therefore, as we said before, dismissing some of the palace maids and eunuchs from the palace cannot be delayed.

However, the maids could marry or become bowmen in wealthy families.

But the survival of those eunuchs would not be optimistic if they went out. After all, their families sent them to the palace because they could not make ends meet.

My son asked the head of the clan, and he said that the eunuchs in the palace generally have three destinations after leaving the palace.

First, if he entered the palace after getting married, he could go home and reunite with his wife and children after leaving the palace.

Secondly, the royal family would grant a place for the burial of the eunuchs. After leaving the palace, they would usually raise funds to build houses nearby, live together, and take care of each other in their old age.

Another type of people would choose to live in temples near the outskirts of Beijing, hoping that their souls could be cleansed and their hearts could be comforted and relieved. Because they felt that being a eunuch was a shameful thing for their family and ancestors, and they would feel uneasy for the rest of their lives.

But the prerequisite is that they will donate some money to the temple before leaving the palace, or several people will raise funds to build a temple.

However, the eunuchs working in the palace are also divided into different ranks.

Only a small number of people can save money to do these things.

A eunuch of high status and means may have accumulated more wealth in the palace over the years than a fourth-rank official.

However, those who were of low status and did odd jobs could only receive less than one-tenth of the salary of a fifth-rank official. Some of them were squeezed out by eunuchs of higher status, and some even had to be sent out of the palace to support their families.

Most of the eunuchs have no achievements. If they are sent out of the palace, their life will not be easy when they return.

The son remembered what his mother had said: production is not as fast as saving. However, given the current situation in Yan State, it is difficult to solve the problem of an empty treasury by simply saving money. Mother, can you give your son some ideas on how to make money?

Earn money? Xue Wenyu was shocked when he heard this, even though he was mentally prepared.

After all, they are still young. Although what they said makes sense, it is not childish to say that they are making money. It is too silly!

For a moment, Xue Wenyu didn't know what words to use to describe it.

"Master, the clan leader sent someone to look for you and said there is something important." At this time, Lin Chuan knocked on the door and came in and said.

He must have something important to do at this time, so Xue Wenyu had no choice but to put down his wine, salt and plank and stand up. Fortunately, he didn't interrupt just now and was half full.

When the mother and daughter in front of him looked at him, he quickly said, "You two can discuss it slowly. I'll go see what's going on."

Xue Wenyu left in a hurry, feeling guilty for not enjoying the lunch made by his wife, and regretful for not being able to hear the mother and daughter discuss how to make money. It must be very interesting.

However, Xue Wenyu also knew that the fact that the sect leader was looking for him at this time must be something very important.

As for the mother and daughter's solution to the empty treasury, it doesn't matter even if it's not appropriate, because it can't be done in one lunch or one afternoon.

Even if the mother and daughter decided on a method, they would definitely discuss it with several people around them before announcing it in the court.

If it is really inappropriate, then Academician Fan would not agree with it.

Therefore, Xue Wenyu went out with peace of mind.

The mother and daughter in the restaurant watched him walk out.

"Come, let's talk while we eat." Mu Yingbao was afraid that Brother Hui would worry, so she greeted him.

Brother Hui turned around and the two continued to discuss.

The lack of one person around did not affect the mother and daughter's thinking at all.

On the contrary, I felt more relaxed.

Don't think that we didn't notice that guy had a funny look on his face!

After lunch, the mother and daughter had already discussed a plan to deal with the situation.

After eating, the two of them went into Brother Hui's study, one grinding ink while the other picked up a pen to write.

"Son, is this considered official?" Mu Yingbao was sitting opposite Brother Hui, and seeing how seriously he was writing, she couldn't help but ask.

Brother Hui raised his head when he heard this; "Yes, I am listening."

"Son, what I mean is, do we still need to discuss this with your father, your grandfather and the clan leader, and only after they give their approval can we announce it to the public in the court?" Chong Ran Mu Yingbao felt that he was quite satisfied with the result of his discussion with Brother Hui, but he still felt that something was wrong.

Because now it is different from before in Youcheng. There are only two of them in the family. If there is any decision to be made, it will be ok as long as they agree.

Now, Brother Hui is the ruler of a country, and the things he has to decide are also related to the affairs of the country. Can the mother and daughter make the final decision after discussing it? What will others think?

"Mother, do you think that if we tell our father and grandfather about our decision, they will agree?" Brother Hui understood what his mother meant.

When Mu Yingbao saw the child's expression and tone of voice, he said, "Ah, you kid, don't you want to act first and ask for permission later?"

"Mother, you have forgotten that your son is the king of a country now. If anyone stands up to oppose at the court tomorrow morning, your son will let him solve the problem of the empty treasury. If he doesn't have that ability, just shut up." Brother Hui looked up and said proudly.

Ah? Is this okay? Mu Yingbao blinked, looking at the confident child, imagining what the scene would be like when Brother Hui announced this decision at the court tomorrow morning.

Who knows, when Xue Wenyu comes back from his work, he might ask, then object, then
