The big guy travels through the book and becomes the female supporting role, torturing the scumbag a

Situ Yuan immediately said, "Uncle, I think this matter cannot be delayed. Madam Tu now occupies the capital of Yan State. This place is too important. The Yan people will never let it go easily, so Madam Tu needs to stay here for a while.

After all, she is a woman, and leading the troops this time is an exception. Now she needs to be stationed in the capital of Yan State, so it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied.

Moreover, Mrs. Butcher did not hold any official position, so she was inevitably restricted in what she did, constrained at every turn, and could not justify her actions.

So I think if my uncle wants to confer titles on Shang Yingying and Madam Tu, he should do it now. Firstly, it will make it easier for Madam Tu to do her job, and secondly, now is a critical moment, and for the sake of the overall situation, the civil and military officials in the court will not object to my uncle conferring titles on Madam Tu. "

Emperor Taihe thought about it carefully and felt that what he said made sense.

Tu Jiaojiao is a woman after all. If he directly appoints her to an official position, there will inevitably be opposition in the court.

But she had made great contributions after all. If he didn't reward her, or if the reward he wanted to give her was forcibly blocked by the civil and military officials in the court, wouldn't he, the emperor, become a joke?

Why not use this critical moment to reward the Tu family and shut those people up!

Emperor Taihe then asked Situ Yuan, "Then how do you think we should reward them?"

Situ Yuan pretended to think about it, then suggested: "Uncle, why don't you call your cousin and ask him what he thinks."

Emperor Taihe thought this was a good suggestion, so he immediately sent someone to call Yang Tao.

Yang Tao is fourteen years old this year, which means he is already fifteen years old in terms of age, and it is time for him to learn how to handle these government affairs.

Soon, Yang Tao rushed over.

"My son has met my father!"

He first saluted Emperor Taihe respectfully, and after Emperor Taihe asked him to lie down, he asked expectantly, "Father, is there any news about Madam Tu and Yingying?"

Emperor Taihe raised his eyebrows and couldn't help asking, "Are you asking this on behalf of Xie Tang, or do you want to ask this yourself?"

Yang Tao immediately said seriously, "Xie Tang has always been worried about Madam Tu and Yingying, and I am worried about them too. Yingying is so young, and she was captured by the Yan people. She must be terrified."

Situ Yuan: “…”

He looked at Yang Tao with complicated eyes, an expression that was hard to describe.

Emperor Taihe couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Xie Ying's delicate and delicate appearance and her delicate and coquettish look.

However, he still comforted his son: "Don't worry, Yingying is a lucky star, she will be fine. Madam Tu has found her in the Yan Palace. Although she was locked in a secret room by the Yan Emperor, fortunately she was not hurt."

After a pause, he brought up the issue of land distribution and rewards and asked Yang Tao what he thought.

Yang Tao breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Father, I think my cousin's proposal is a good one. Nationalizing the land and distributing it to the people for cultivation, prohibiting its sale, will not only win over the people but also prevent the gentry from annexing the land and expanding their power.

I have seen the annual tax accounts. Those wealthy gentry occupy large tracts of land, but relying on their status, they are only willing to pay extremely low taxes, forcing the people below to pay high taxes.

In order to pay less land tax, the common people would take the initiative to please the gentry, and would even give away their land for free just to avoid paying the land tax.

As a result, the gentry owned more and more land, became richer and richer, but the taxes received by the national treasury became less and less.

Without silver in the treasury, there would be no way to build bridges and roads, repair rivers, or pay soldiers. If a natural disaster occurred, the court might not even be able to provide food for disaster relief!

These gentry are a bunch of termites, constantly devouring the foundation of our Great Xia! We must not allow them to continue like this!

Therefore, I think this is an opportunity. By taking over the territory of Yan State, I can nationalize the farmland of Yan State and distribute it to the people, so that the people can pay taxes according to the number of people and the amount of land.

Furthermore, we must not allow those tycoons to continue annexing land!"

Emperor Taihe thought of his own treasury and couldn't help but nodded.

The treasury of Daxia was indeed not full, and he had to pay out of his own pocket to strengthen border fortifications over the years.

Even the money for making firearms in the past two years was paid by him.

The car dealership that Situ Yuan founded is quite good, but unfortunately the output of rubber and steel is still not enough. In the next two years, he also has to manufacture firearms and chariots, so he can only ship in small quantities.

Now, after hearing what Yang Tao said, Emperor Taihe couldn't help but feel red-eyed when he thought of his own treasury.

"Well, you are indeed my good son!"

Emperor Taihe looked at Yang Tao with approval, "Your insights prove that the Master has taught you well. This time, I'll give you a chance. After the war is over, you can stay in Hejian Prefecture for a while and test this new policy of land distribution with Yuan'er!"

I have decided to make Xijin Prefecture Yuan'er's fiefdom. I will give you three years to try and see what results you can achieve!

If you can satisfy me in three years, I will make you the crown prince!"

These words immediately made Yang Tao's blood boil.

His face flushed instantly, his chest heaving, and he tried hard to calm his overly excited mood so as not to make a fool of himself in front of Emperor Taihe.

Then he knelt on one knee and solemnly promised Emperor Taihe: "Your Majesty trusts me and is willing to entrust me with such an important task. I will definitely not let you down!"

"Good! My son should have such courage! Stand up!" Emperor Taihe laughed heartily and asked Yang Tao, "Then what kind of reward do you think I should give to Yingying and Madam Butcher?"

Yang Tao had already thought of the answer in his mind, and when he heard it, he said, "I think that Madam Tu first broke through Xijin City and captured the lord of Xijin City, and now she has captured the capital of Yan State. Her military achievements are outstanding.

Although she is a woman, Madam Butcher has made such great contributions that she is in no way inferior to a man. Therefore, I believe that Madam Butcher should be granted the title of Duke.

The success of this war is entirely due to Yingying, this lucky star. Even if the emperor crowns her as a princess, I think no one in the court would object."

Emperor Taihe frowned.

He didn't object to naming Xie Ying a princess, but Tu Jiaojiao was a woman after all.

However, as he looked at his son who was becoming increasingly taller, he nodded: "Madam Tu is extremely brave and has made great military achievements. She is immediately worthy of being a Duke."

Soon, the imperial edict of reward was sent out.

Emperor Taihe not only named Xie Ying as Princess Fu'an and Tu Jiaojiao as Duke of Anguo, but also allowed her to do as she pleased.

When the news spread, the whole world was shocked.
