Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters Qin Xiang came to the door
After entering late July, the weather began to slowly turn cooler.
News came from the south that the floods had receded and the flooding had been temporarily eliminated. The officials sent by the imperial court strictly followed the regulations promulgated by the imperial court, built temporary residences, resettled the victims, and provided rice and porridge every day. No large-scale civil unrest occurred.
As for the epidemic after the disaster, it did not occur. There were many cases of diarrhea, but they were quickly controlled and did not worsen.
Although the post-disaster reconstruction work will still take a long time, the impact of this flood is indeed much smaller than before, and it no longer affects the hearts of officials so much.
The emperor's move out of the palace was very large and lasted for several days. The empress, including several concubines in the harem, also moved into Furong Garden with him.
Of course, government affairs are still running as usual. Some important political affairs will be sent to the palace after being approved by the two prime ministers of Shangshu Province, and will be handed over to the eldest princess for decision. If there is no objection from the eldest princess's decision, the three provinces will implement it accordingly.
, if there are serious differences, the memorial will be sent to Furong Garden, and His Majesty will make the final decision.
Of course, so far, no one has questioned all the decisions of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
In just a few days, some officials completely understood why His Majesty made such a seemingly absurd decision.
Problems that could not be solved by the Minister of Education were sent to the eldest princess, and within a day, a perfect solution could be obtained. In addition to being amazed, many people felt humiliated.
Monster, there really is a monster in this dynasty...
The eldest princess was busy, so Li Yi was naturally free.
Ruyi's due date is in early November, which is only about three months away from now. Even though she is a master of the first generation, she is also protected by the group. An accident may happen and she is not allowed to leave the house. Anyway, the family is big enough.
There are mountains, rivers and good scenery. It is a good place to have a baby...
Having Xiaohuan take personal care of her was not enough. Miss Liu Er had not been out for many days. She stayed at home and occupied Ruyi. When she went to bed at night, Li Yi would also be kicked out by her.
The space in the inner house is not large, and Li Yi specially arranged it according to the layout of Liuyezhai's home. She kicked herself out and did not allow herself to sleep in her room. Li Yi only had two choices, one was to make do with Xiaohuan, and the other was to make do with Xiaohuan.
As for sleeping in another house, he was the first to rule out the former without any hesitation.
Xiaohuan is no longer the young girl she was back then, nor has she reached the stage where she has matured completely. The long nights are long, and Li Yi doesn't want to make trouble for himself.
They are now inseparable from Ruyi, and the women who are familiar with Liuye Village often come to talk and avoid him when talking. Li Yi feels that he is redundant, lying in the yard to bask in the sun and drink tea.
An ideal retirement life should look like this.
After calming down, I had enough time to think about something.
He has been paving the way for the eldest princess since a long time ago, and now, he has finally achieved initial results. All he has to do next is to wait.
Many things need enough time to ferment if they want to achieve preliminary results.
Although no matter what preparations they made, the final decision was still in the hands of the old emperor, but when her weight in the court became more and more important, and when it reached a certain critical point, it was possible to break some
A conventional concept.
As for the King of Shu...
The King of Shu no longer needs to worry. The authorities are confused. Perhaps only those people who were tied to the same boat with him early will resort to self-hypnosis to deceive themselves when they have no choice. With the old emperor's temperament
, it is impossible to watch the imperial power fall into the hands of a fool, otherwise he would not have taken so many measures against the Cui family, not to mention other princes, even compared with that boy Li Han, the King of Shu
There are no advantages at all.
Think about it, more than a year ago, he was the most powerful prince in Kyoto, and it is not easy to get to where he is today.
I was lying comfortably on the rocking chair, in a state of relaxation. Just when I felt a little sleepy, I was awakened by the sound of rapid footsteps.
Lao Fang hurriedly ran in from outside, "Uncle, it's not good!"
"What's the matter?" Li Yi sat up from the rocking chair and asked.
Lao Fang handed something to Li Yi and said, "Uncle, take a look for yourself."
This is a greeting card. This kind of greeting card is usually a must-have when a stranger or a friend who is not very familiar with you comes to visit. I have received many such greeting cards before, but this time, no
Same.
Li Yi put down the post, with confusion and confusion on his face, and asked: "Where is he now?"
"In the front hall."
"Walk."
Li Yisi thought for a moment and then walked out.
He walked slowly to the front hall, stepped into the hall door, and bowed his hand to an old man sitting inside drinking tea, "Prime Minister Qin is busy with official duties, why do you have time to come here today?"
There was no such thing as "there is a long way to go, but there will be a bright future". There was an obvious alienation between the words.
The fact that Prime Minister Qin actually handed over a greeting card and visited the house in person was naturally beyond Li Yi's expectation.
No matter from which aspect, he has an antagonistic and irreconcilable relationship with the Qin family and Prime Minister Qin. Prime Minister Qin once invited him once, but eventually broke up on bad terms. This time, he actually came to visit in person...
"Don't be surprised if you come here rashly, Doctor Li." The old man put down his tea cup, stood up and said, "Last time, Doctor Li said in the Imperial Garden, I still don't understand something about the tax law reform, so I came here specially to answer my questions and invited Doctor Li.
Don’t hesitate to teach me.”
He addressed himself as "Doctor Li" and spoke in a calm tone. He seemed to have completely ignored Li Yi's age. As a veteran of three dynasties, there were only a few people in the entire court who could be treated like this by him.
Li Yi's eyes paused on Qin Xiang's face for a moment, then nodded and said: "Don't take it as an advice, just treat it as an exchange. Qin Xiang, please sit down..."
Prime Minister Qin nodded, sat down again, and said straight to the point: "The tax system of this dynasty is mostly inherited from the previous dynasty. However, at the end of the previous dynasty, there were many vassal towns and they were dissatisfied with the court and taxation was chaotic. Therefore, the tax system introduced was not suitable for this dynasty. Although these
In the past ten years, there have been several restructurings, but I believe that today’s tax system still has huge flaws..."
Today's conversation is completely different from the one in the Qin Mansion.
Prime Minister Qin seemed to have completely forgotten his position, and the questions he asked were all about the tax laws and economic reforms that Li Yi talked about in the imperial garden that day. During the conversation between the two, Li Yi unexpectedly discovered that Prime Minister Qin was more
This Tao also has profound insights.
Although some places are still vague, the general direction is correct. He even filled in many details that Li Yi didn't mention that day. Li Yi could see that putting forward these things was not a day's work.
.
In other words, he has been exploring these things and exploring these institutional reforms that are suitable for Jingguo at this stage for a long time.
It's just limited to knowledge. Before this, there were only hazy thoughts, but at this time, these thoughts have gradually begun to surface.
Li Yi knew very well how rare it is for people of this era to think of those advanced things.
Moreover, his understanding of Jingguo is far beyond his imagination, and his words are often to the point and go straight to the source...
Li Yi found that he seemed to have underestimated the old man and offended the prime minister of the country. He had always been prepared to accept the other party's revenge and had several countermeasures. However, Qin Yu suffered losses again and again, and the King of Shu gradually lost power.
..., Qin Xiang did not make any move towards him.
This is unreasonable. Li Yi can't figure out the reason, let alone Prime Minister Qin.
Including the fact that he took the initiative to visit today and did not talk about grievances and only talked about state affairs, Li Yi gained some new understanding of the old man in front of him.
