I want to ruin the country

After the ministers left, Yining was tired and hungry, and had tossed and turned all night. Who could stand it!

The meal on New Year's Day was dumplings again, and Yining ate it with his three beautiful wives.

After dinner, he started giving red envelopes to people around him, including his three wives. Yining gave each of them 200,000 yuan.

Yi Fanguo was given 100,000 yuan, and his apprentices were given 50,000 yuan.

The number of other palace maids ranged from 30,000 to 10,000.

If you can't have a good life following the emperor, it will be even worse for others.

Yining didn't want the people around him to live too poorly. Although the saying that poverty breeds greed is not absolute, it definitely makes sense.

When they have no money to spend, they will find ways to sell things in the palace out. After many years, they will become antiques and be worth a fortune.

In fact, the palace maids basically did not spend any money on food, clothing and shelter in the palace, and most of their money was used to support their families.

Now Yining has significantly increased the wages of eunuchs and palace maids, and they earn at least two thousand yuan per month.

Adding various rewards, the annual income is about 40,000 to 50,000 yuan!

This is pure income with no living costs and no tax to pay, which is great!

Regarding the issue of paying personal income tax in the future, Yining has always felt uncomfortable. A person has to pay taxes for earning a salary. Isn't this the same as ordinary people having to pay taxes for farming three or four acres of land?

It’s okay to pay taxes, and let those with truly high incomes pay them. It’s okay to set the tax threshold higher!

It's incompetent enough for him to live on the salary earned by beating the common people when he comes to the country.

After sending out the red envelopes, Yining wanted to take a nap, but when he thought about it, he couldn't sleep, so he said to his three wives,

"If you're tired, go to sleep. I'm going to go give New Year's greetings to Taoist Master Jingsi!"

Hongxiu laughed and said,

"Your Majesty, it feels like a long time since we last met!"

Yining smiled and said,

"Yes, what's the matter? Come with me!"

Hongxiu pouted,

"No, I'm annoying her!"

"Forget it, I'll go by myself!"

Qingxi pulls her red sleeves,

"Sister Xiu, let's go together. I miss her so much, too!"

Hongxiu tapped Qingxi's forehead with her finger and said viciously,

"You traitor!"

Qingxi laughed and said,

"You are still the same!"

Jintang said,

"Your Majesty, I want to go with you too!"

Yining joked,

"What's wrong? Do you want to see who's prettier?"

In fact, Jintang meant this in his heart, but he refused to admit it and said,

"Your Majesty, I'm with you and you're still laughing at me!"

Red Sleeve Road,

"Stop talking and let's go!"

The four of them got in the car and came to Yujiao. When Taoist Jingsi heard that the emperor came to pay him New Year's greetings on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was very moved and struggled to sit up.

"Your Majesty, the palace is full of affairs, and you still come to see me. I really feel sorry for you!"

Hongxiu and the other two bowed to the Taoist priest and wished him a happy new year. The Taoist priest saw that the three girls were indeed beautiful and could be compared to his own disciples. He said,

"Your Majesty is so lucky to have married three celestial beauties!"

Qingxi said,

"Master, thank you for your praise!"

Hongxiu said,

"Your disciple is a celestial being. We are far behind!"

When Jintang saw her, he felt ashamed of himself. Yujiao was really pretty, the best in the country!

Unconsciously said,

"This is a true celestial being!"

Yujiao held her hand,

"You are Jintang, right? You are the prettiest one!"

Hong Yujiao thought about the quarrels between the three of them when they broke up and found it really funny.

"Hongxiu, aren't you and sister never going to see each other again?"

Hongxiu rolled her eyes and said,

"I came with the Emperor to pay New Year's greetings to the Taoist priest. Who knows you?"

Qingxi also teased her,

"Sister Yujie, I told you to come back to us if you have any problems. Why did you go to the Emperor instead?"

Yu Jiao blushed, knowing that Qing Xi was blaming her for not telling them the truth, and hurriedly said,

"Sister apologizes to you, I'm not Yujie, I'm Yujiao, Yujie is her!"

As he said this, he turned around to look for Yujie, but when he saw that Yujie was nowhere to be found, he shouted,

"Junior sister, where have you been?"

Yujie came in with a shy face,

"Senior Sister, I'm outside!"

"Girl, what are you doing outside by yourself? Come here and meet these two sisters!"

Hongxiu took one look and went over to grab Yujie's arm.

"Oh my, this girl is really attractive, your name is Yujie?

That fake Yujie is not real and is trying to fool us. I wonder if the real Yujie is real or not?"

Yujiao said,

"Alright, Hongxiu, I'm going to apologize to you, so please stop embarrassing me!"

A few people were chattering non-stop, leaving Yining aside.

Taoist Jingsi nodded, thinking to himself that since they had a good relationship, his disciple would not be afraid of being bullied when he entered the palace.

When Yujie saw the appearance of the emperor's three wives, she immediately lost confidence. How could they all be so beautiful? She was nothing compared to them!

Yining took out the New Year's gift for Taoist Master Jingsi, which was a Taoist robe and a jade seal.

"Master Taoist, it is said that this is the seal of Master Zhang, a property of your Taoism. Let's return it to its original owner today."

Taoist Master Jingsi is a monk and has never cared about money and property, but this Taoist treasure is a different matter.

Since the emperor took it out, Taoist Jingsi no longer refused and accepted it with pleasure.

Yining gave Yujiao and Yujie several pieces of jewelry and a red envelope of 200,000 yuan each, treating them the same as Hongxiu and the other three.

Yujiao is not short of money, but this has nothing to do with it. This is a New Year's red envelope, a gift from the emperor, so she accepted it with a smile.

Yujie's heart was pounding, as she had never had so much money before.

Since her senior sister accepted it, she couldn’t refuse!

Yining also gave each of the eight palace maids a red envelope of 50,000 yuan, and told them to look up to her when they went out to carry out missions.

The palace maids were very happy. It was so easy here. Ten people served one person. How much trouble could that be? Besides, it was not like in the palace where there were rules everywhere.

We had lunch here. Except for Yujie, everyone else was relaxed and happy.

Taoist Master Jingsi was very happy. He had lived for more than seventy years, and this was the happiest year of his life.

After dinner, Yining said,

"Master, the children from the Royal Academy are holding a New Year's Eve party tonight. They're performing here. You should go and have a look!"

The evening party was a new thing that no one had ever seen before. Even the Taoist Master Jingsi, who was an accomplished Taoist, was tempted by it.

"Okay, I'll go check it out!"

It's not for anything else, just to be lively. Taoist Jingsi thinks, why am I afraid of loneliness recently?

After returning to the palace, I took a nap all afternoon and got up at 4:30.

The royal concubine and the concubines were already prepared. They all got on four-wheeled carriages and came to the Royal Hotel in a grand procession.

This was the first time that the Imperial Concubine Dowager came here, and she was dumbfounded at the sight. She thought that the Old Summer Palace was a paradise on earth, but in terms of comfort, it probably couldn't compare to this place.

The military ministers also came. Today was different from yesterday. No one was wearing official uniforms and looked more casual.
