Four women with only surnames, maybe they also had names before, but when they entered the palace, it meant leaving behind everything in the past.
It really needs to be thrown away. It's okay for the mother's family to say that if the ex-husband's family is also involved, then things will be clear and lively.
To be honest, Zhao Xi has never asked about their origins. He is only sure that they all went through personnel matters.
As for the reason why they entered the palace, there are many strange stories among all living beings in this world.
It's just that when choosing a spokesperson, you still have to ask some questions clearly, even if it's to expose scars.
Maybe the Yeting Bureau has recorded them, but Zhao Xi doesn't want to bother. Once he investigates by himself, maybe the empress will come directly with the imperial doctor...
Zhao Xi also believed in their self-reports more than written records.
They are all people with stories. They thought that their whole life would pass like this, and they accepted their fate. It should be the greatest blessing for people like them to enter the palace and be selected as female officials such as the Secretary and Accountant of the East Palace.
But His Highness actually gave them another way to live!
If there is no choice, who wants to stay in a deep palace for the rest of his life? Or a deep palace with almost no hope.
Having no heirs due to personal affairs is the most common reason for this kind of thing itself, but it is still rare that the reason is due to the ex-husband.
Just like now, all the concubines of His Highness the Crown Prince are pregnant. It was not that they were not pregnant when they were blessed, they still have no heirs.
In other words, status and heirs are no longer possible for them.
Therefore, they all intend to try to be the one who stands out in the East Palace.
"One thing needs to be explained. Those on Gyeonggi Road, those on Gyeonggi-West Road, those with heirs outside the palace, etc. are taboo, or may cause confusion and entanglement."
Household thieves are difficult to guard against and thefts are endless. Zhao Xi has no intention of making wedding clothes for others, and does not like to deal with them afterwards.
There is no need to wait until something goes wrong to remedy an accident that can be avoided in the first place. Prevention is better than cure.
"Your Highness, is it okay to be alone in Gyeonggi Province?"
Uh... Zhao Xi didn't expect this.
"Nu is a native of Kaideok Prefecture, Gyeonggi Province. In the eighth year of the Qing Dynasty, the Yellow River burst its banks, and all his family died in the flood. Now he is alone."
He didn't dare to raise the request. He only mentioned his own life experience and it was His Highness's business to decide.
This is the difference. They can only call him His Highness, Prince, and Prince, which they are not qualified to call, let alone the third brother's exclusive title of Crown Princess.
Zhao Xi didn't say anything. It was Tao Niang who should make the decision regarding this matter in the Neiyuan.
"Just her. Third brother gave her a name..."
It is clear that Tao Niang means that even the last name should be erased.
"Sister, there are exactly four of them, why not just play chess, calligraphy and painting?"
Alas, even the name has to be in a literary and youthful style. Fortunately, like Prince Duan, he has four followers who are busy with studying...
Therefore, Zhao Xi has another available person...Zhao Qin.
Not avoiding anyone, it was still a family meeting, and Zhao Xi explained in detail the spinning business.
"Third brother, our country is based on crops, and there are not many people who raise cattle and sheep. In this way, if you need to purchase wool from foreigners, it will inevitably allow foreigners to make money. Is it appropriate? Should I ask the court for permission?"
He is very aware of the future leader of the Sixth House and has not forgotten his roots due to selfish interests.
"Then what?"
Zhao Xi did not expect their knowledge to be far-reaching. Taoniang's suggestion should be the thinking of most people in the country, or even everyone in the country.
"Then...then we will have no money! Right, sister, that's what sister means."
Su Yan's words... But looking at Tao Niang, she seems to agree with this statement.
"It's not that I don't like silk and satin because of the bitter cold in the northwest. The reason why I wear sheepskin and animal hair is because my body needs to keep warm."
"If there are woolen garments with bright colors, they will also choose good-looking ones. Then we only need to sell the woolen garments to foreigners, and the money will come back, right?"
They could only see money, and Zhao Xi could only tell them about money.
However, with Tao Niang's representative understanding, Zhao Xi was worried that in the court he would be accused of betraying his ancestors and forgetting his scriptures, and being a liaison with foreign countries.
Don't be surprised, even if he is the heir to the great unification, these literati would dare to say anything... When looking for trouble, they always assume malice.
Zhao Xi also thought that the elites could understand his intentions, but it seemed that he had made a mistake in his judgment this time.
I'm afraid even my parents need to explain clearly.
We went to Ciming Palace with Tao Niang and others, as well as Zhao Qin, who was ready to be dragged out to show off.
Zhao Xi already knew that his father was in Ciming Palace, so Zhao Xi couldn't enter the inner garden alone without being summoned or asking for greetings.
"In this way, Xia Liao has earned money from the country. If you introduce new coins, they will also be used in the land of Xia Liao. Xi'er, this trip may not be appropriate!"
Sure enough, Dad thought the same way, even thinking that other countries using their own coins would be a hidden danger.
Also, the value of the items created by the country obviously does not match the currency circulated by the country.
The financial difficulties of the imperial court, which has always been stretched thin, are mostly due to this reason.
This is also the basis for the imperial court to allow various military states to make coins and recognize the circulation of Jiaozi in Fulu, Chengdu.
"Dad, I think that if a large number of sheep are raised in Liaoxia in exchange for money from the country, then Liaoxia will no longer be a border problem for the country."
"As the boy said in the court, coins themselves are goods, and the court only gives them value. If Liao and Xia are also circulated and dominated by the coins of the national dynasty, it is equivalent to the Liao and Xia lands being dominated by the imperial court.
Their wealth and poverty are all decided by the country."
I don’t know if this explanation can make it clear. Zhao Xi’s simple understanding of currency would be difficult for him to explain in an easy-to-understand manner.
I don’t dare to say that sheep cannibalize people in the end, which would make people even more confused.
As for currency appreciation and depreciation, inflation and deflation, etc., let alone mention it. Zhao Xi himself is also a little knowledgeable, only knows the simplest principles, and he is afraid that he cannot explain it clearly.
Just this, it still confuses people. Even those who had some understanding in the East Palace just now are confused now.
He couldn't understand what Zhao Xi said at all, and he couldn't figure out why someone could take control if the coins were used.
"Call Mr. Xian..."
Dad doesn’t know whether he’s afraid or not, but he has ministers and servants. Counting all the husbands in the dynasty, every one of them is a human being. No, this is calling the husband again...
"In the official family, the palace gate is closed. Don't let anyone criticize you..."
When the empress said this, Zhao Xi realized that it was already night.
Zhao Zhen was also a little embarrassed.
"Forget it, let's wait until tomorrow."
Zhao Zhen said this, but Zhao Xi could feel his father's thoughts. How should I put it, he couldn't figure it out, but he was worried that what he did would cause controversy in the court.
He was very anxious, anxious for himself, hoping that the husband-in-laws could understand his son, and even hoped that it would be confirmed overnight.
This made Zhao Xi a little confused. When did his originally slow temperament become so anxious?
