"There is no doubt that I will return to my father. Although I have never been in charge of the court, I will try my best to do everything well and will not let you down. However, I hope that before my father leaves, I can
Teach your sons and ministers more about how to be a king."
Emperor Dexuan saw this and nodded slightly with satisfaction.
"Well, starting from tomorrow, after the court, you will come to the imperial study room to help me approve the memorial. But Lie'er, I have to make it clear to you in advance. During the time you have to supervise the country, I hope that the treasury will become more and more full.
.What you can spend each year cannot exceed 30% of the national taxes for that year. The rest will be inspected when I come back. Can you do it?"
Emperor Dexuan's calculations were crackling. In his opinion, except for his small private treasury, everything in the existing treasury belonged to him.
He didn't want the treasury to be extremely empty when he came back, leaving him with a mess.
I hope Qi Lie won’t disappoint him!
Qi Lie has been planning to ascend to the throne during this period. He has thought a lot about what to do after he ascends the throne, where to start, etc.
Because I have thought more, and there are more and more advisers around me, and I have contacted Jiang Hongxuan and Chu Ximo, my brain is now much better.
Chu Ximo taught him a lot about language traps and the like.
At this moment, when he heard Emperor Dexuan's words, he looked at him and said, "I wonder if the 30% of the various taxes in the country mentioned by my father is meant every year or now? Which year is it based on?"
As soon as Qi Lie finished speaking, Emperor Dexuan was stunned, and then he smiled and said: "Based on the average total income in the past three years. If I am not here in the future, if you can surpass me, then it is your ability, how much do you use
It will work. But if it is too low, it will not work. No matter what method you use, it cannot be lower than what it is now."
In Emperor Dexuan's view, it was simply impossible for Qi Lie to surpass him.
The other princes began to have a place in the court when they were eleven or twelve years old, and they were taught by others since they were young.
As for Qi Lie, he had given up on him long ago because of his inability to walk.
Even though he got better later, he gradually started to show his talents when he was about fifteen years old.
But so what? In just four or five years, no matter how capable he is, how powerful can he be?
At the moment, he does not ask him to lead the Hongwu Kingdom to prosperity, but he wants the country's power not to decline. Don't wait for him to come back, which will lead to a situation where the country will not have a country.
When Qi Lie heard what Emperor Dexuan said, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Sure, I will definitely live up to my father's expectations."
His philosophy of governing the country is completely different from that of his father. He has the confidence that he will definitely surpass his father.
He has always agreed with Shi Qing's words that if a country wants to prosper, it is closely related to those in power.
Don't close the country, recruit talented people, think about the people, and don't compete with the people for profit.
Only when the people live a good life and every household becomes rich, will the national strength become better and better.
As for not closing the door at night and not picking up lost things on the road, he couldn't do it in a short period of time.
But at the very least, it will not prevent ordinary people from being able to buy anything they want to buy, and even because commercial taxes are too high, there will be only a few small traders.
It is clear that his country, Hongwu, is much better than Dachu in general.
When commerce flourishes, the country must be governed by both civil and military forces.
Although not everyone can read, those with a little bit of ability still have to recognize a few words.
Every three years, when the spring and autumn festivals are held, martial arts must also be held.
We cannot value culture over military force. When necessary, military force can protect the country.
When civil and military forces assist each other, national strength can become unprecedentedly strong.
At present, there are very few military generals in the Hongwu Kingdom who can do anything since his grandfather became an official. This is unavoidable.
While Qi Lie was thinking about it, Emperor Dexuan was very satisfied with Qi Lie's reaction.
Seventy percent of the treasury was reserved for him. After he left, Qi Lie would only supervise the country. When he came back in the future, he would still be the emperor.
Of course, when he said that he would abdicate in the future depending on the situation, it was just a show of force. Whoever takes it seriously is a fool!
Now that he had discussed this matter, he had to prepare to go to sea with him.
I heard from King Mo before that he wanted to take him out to do business. I wonder what kind of business they plan to do?
Their ships are good, so he, the king of a country, must have his own ships.
While there is still time, we have to ask someone to make it as soon as possible. He is the emperor of Hongwu Kingdom, so this ship must be bigger, more gorgeous, and more imposing than King Mo and his friends.
By the way, he needs to bring some guards with him when he goes out. When the time comes, he can take all his shadow guards with him. Well, the people who serve him will also have to go with him. Beauty is indispensable. If you are a courtier, how about bringing a few from the etiquette department with you?
Qi Lie had no idea that his father was already planning to go to sea. When he saw that the person in front of him was silent and seemed to be in a daze, he cleared his throat and said, "Father, if there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave first!"
Emperor Dexuan was currently listing the preparations for going to sea. He didn't hear Qi Lie's words clearly and just waved his hand subconsciously.
After he thought about it in general, he began to write it down one by one.
After he finished writing, the sound of the second watch came from outside.
"Your Majesty, it's time to rest!"
Eunuch Hai had been standing guard at the door. He was also happy about what Qi Lie said to him in a good mood when he left.
The late empress was kind to him, and now that the prince can get his wish, he is also happy for him.
In recent years, the emperor has become more and more fond of money. He sees it in his eyes and knows that this is unacceptable.
If the prince is not allowed to ascend the throne, sooner or later the emperor will sell his official position for the sake of money.
At that time, the Hongwu Kingdom will be destroyed.
As someone who has spent his whole life in the Royal Palace of Hongwu Kingdom, he does not want to see the flames of war, let alone the change of dynasties in Hongwu Kingdom.
Fortunately, the emperor is willing to go out, and fortunately the current prince has been reborn.yyls
He believed that the Hongwu Kingdom could be better than it is now under the governance of the prince.
When Emperor Dexuan heard Eunuch Hai urging him to take a rest, he reluctantly looked at the lists he had written.
Well, these things cannot be done in a short while.
Wait until tomorrow morning after the court meeting to discuss with the prince.
Let’s talk about Jiangfu. When night fell, Yan Shiqing took Xiao Nian’an for a walk on Jiangfu beach after dinner.
Suddenly I saw Xiaowa coming in a hurry with Feng Jun.
After Feng Jun finished telling her about Qi Lie being called into the palace by Emperor Dexuan, she thought for a moment and said: "Don't worry, it's probably not going to happen. Emperor Dexuan is a smart man, he knows what is best for him.
Maybe there is a good thing waiting for Qi Lie, but if you are really worried, just let the people in the palace keep an eye on it."
In Yan Shiqing's view, it was so late at night that Emperor Dexuan called Qi Lie into the palace. It was just because he was forced to take the blame during this period and wanted to take the blame.
At the beginning of the winter month, I heard news from the Lian Mansion that the ice cube silver allocated to Emperor Dexuan in October would be 20% less than in previous years.
At the end of October, Emperor Dexuan had to rush to replace the worn-out weapons of the soldiers in the barracks before the year before, so he spent a large sum of money and Dachu to buy iron ore.
Later, another sum of money was spent to distribute military pay.
All these money-demanding things add up to a bottomless pit, and Emperor Dexuan may have run out of patience.
What's more, she set a time to set off on the first lunar month. He would probably think too much, so he asked Qi Lie to enter the palace, right?
After all, if you want to go to sea, you have to have time to prepare. She doesn't know how to wait for anyone, and she doesn't have the time to wait.
Feng Jun saw that Yan Shiqing was not anxious at all, and felt relieved inexplicably.
The prince is her younger uncle. She has done so much for the prince before. If the prince is really in trouble now, she will not be so calm.
It seems that she is confident that nothing will happen to the prince. If this is the case, then there is no need for him to worry!
Thinking of this, he bowed his hands towards Yan Shiqing: "Thank you, Princess Mo, for your advice. Farewell!"
After Feng Jun could no longer see anyone, Xiao Nian'an raised her head and looked at Yan Shiqing: "Mother, what are you talking about?"
Yan Shiqing and Chu Ximo never hid the relationship between Yan Shiqing and Qi Lie from Xiao Nian'an.
Although he was young, he was smart and sensible, and he was still the prince of Da Chu. There were some things that he needed to know, so I told him everything.
Regardless of whether he could understand or not, Yan Shiqing told him that this matter should not be told to others and should be kept as their secret.
Xiao Nian'an is young and likes the feeling of having secrets that should not be told the most.
That will make him feel particularly interesting, and at the same time, it will make him feel particularly close to his mother and father.
The reason why he asked now was because he heard about the Emperor of Hongwu Kingdom. He knew that this was another country, and he was the prince of Da Chu. Here, he had a special status, and he was afraid of the Emperor of Hongwu Kingdom.
He would want to do something bad to him. (This was what Empress Dowager Jiang told him, telling him to be careful in his words and deeds and to protect himself after arriving in Hongwu Kingdom.)
When Yan Shiqing heard the little guy ask this question, she stretched out her hand to touch his little head and said with a smile: "That Feng Jun just now is from Prince Qi Lie's house. His mother told him that Prince Qi Lie has good things going on.
.”
The little guy knew that although Prince Qi Lie was younger than his mother, he had to be called uncle. He was also a prince and belonged to this country.
My mother said that Prince Qi Lie, like him, was not the emperor's son. But the difference between my uncle and him was that his father was the emperor's uncle's brother. And my uncle's father had nothing to do with the current emperor of Hongwu Kingdom.
He is his mother's maternal grandfather.
Although he didn't understand why the adults were so complicated and why his uncle's father was the person he loved most, he didn't ask so many questions.
His mother said that when he grows up and knows more things, he will understand, so he put it in the back of his mind.
My uncle is fine now. The emperor of this country doesn't want to cause trouble for him, so that's fine.
He didn't have to worry about anything. He just got up early in the morning and squatted on his horse, studied with his master in the morning, learned medical skills from his master in the afternoon, and played with his mother and sister in the evening.
