Mrs. Cui is already old. When she celebrated her seventieth birthday, the emperor personally gave her many things to Jiangzhou. It has been several years now.
It is common for people in their seventies to die.
The death of such an elder in the Xie family is indeed a big event for the Jiangzhou Xie family who is not in the vanity fair nowadays.
Fu Minghua¡¯s mother was born in the Xie family, and it was normal for the Xie family to come to announce her funeral. As for her going into the palace to mention the matter to Concubine Cui:
"That Mrs. Zhao Guotai is from the Cui family in Qinghe, right?"
Li Lao nodded.
When Concubine Rong asked someone to spread the news to Rong Tuying, he was still a little skeptical.
Mrs. Cui of Zhao Guotai is getting older, and it is not uncommon for her to die at this time, but his instinct is to feel that something is not right.
Two days later, the mourners from Jiangzhou came to Luoyang and officially brought the news of Cui's death, and Rong Tuying's heart gradually fell.
This year has been a troubled year, and the Empress Dowager is about to be laid to rest.
The emperor Tu Ying proposed that the emperor build a Zen temple for the empress dowager to pray for longevity and good fortune.
The Tang Dynasty was founded only a few decades ago, and it is not yet completely peaceful.
Since Emperor Jia'an ascended the throne, he has been frugal and frugal, rarely carrying out major construction projects. Now that he suddenly allocates such an expenditure, Tong Zhongshu's Pingzhangshi Li Fulin and others will naturally object.
"Your Majesty, the border is not stable and the war is not over yet. In the north there are Xue Yantuo, Khitan and the remnants of the former Turks who have not been wiped out. It is really not suitable to build a Zen temple. I think that building a Zen temple for the Queen Mother is a good idea, but there are priorities. We will not build this Zen temple. Wouldn¡¯t it be a good thing to postpone the temple matter a little until the future when the nine states are unified, the barbarians surrender, and the national treasury is full?¡±
Li Fulin took the elephant wat and went out to make a loud speech.
Rong Tuying seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Looking at this veteran minister who had been favored by Emperor Jia'an in the past, he spoke impassionedly and glared at Rong Tuying.
"It's just that the angrier Li Fulin became, the more calm and calm Rong Tuying became.
"Master Li, what you said is wrong. The Tang Dynasty governed the country with filial piety. Since the emperor ascended the throne in the ninth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, he has been conscientious and strict in self-control, and has never slacked off. Now he just wants to build a Zen temple for the Queen Mother, so he invites Buddhist monks I just enshrined the relics to pray for the Queen Mother¡¯s longevity and good fortune, but Mr. Li has been obstructing me a lot, I don¡¯t know what his intentions are.¡±
Rong Tuying curled the corners of her mouth, raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Fulin.
In the court hall, due to the words of two colleagues, they were divided into two different factions, and they were quarreling.
Emperor Jia'an was so dizzy from the noise that he waved his hand and lightly scolded:
"alright."
As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, the noisy and red-faced courtiers immediately shut up and did not dare to speak anymore.
"Where is Song Huaiying?"
Emperor Jia'an took a long breath and called out.
The minister of the Ministry of Finance stood up and responded loudly: "I am here."
Emperor Jia'an snapped his fingers and then called: "Yu Qingsui."
For a while, many courtiers were unable to react. After a long time, the doctor from the Ministry of Finance, Duzhi of the Ministry of Finance, stood up and responded loudly:
"I'm here."
In the Tang Dynasty, the Hubu Duzhisi under the Shangshu Province was in charge of the treasury of the Tang Dynasty. This position was humble, but very important and complicated.
Because they have to deal with money, most people in the Hanlin disdain to hold this position, so the doctor is not highly valued on weekdays.
At this time, Emperor Jia'an summoned two ministers in succession and ordered them to explain one by one the financial situation in recent years.
Song Huaiying paused for a moment and then said loudly:
"I respect the decree."
Yu Qingsui thought for a moment before speaking nervously:
"Back to the Emperor, during the late Emperor's reign, the people have had abundant food and clothing since the land equalization order was promulgated. Since you came to the throne, you have reduced taxes from three shi of millet per year during the Taizu period to two shi. Each household is clothed with 1 piece of cloth and cotton. Just three liang or three pounds of hemp.¡±
Yu Qingsui reported the statistics loudly and told the treasury situation one by one.
Liu Xinchang, the Minister of Household Affairs, also said:
"When Taizu died, there were less than four trillion households in the Tang Dynasty, and the population was only a trillion." As soon as Liu Xinchang said these words, Chen Jingxuan and others' hearts sank.
The method of arithmetic in the Tang Dynasty is based on the "Rites. Nei Principles", which is divided into one, ten, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, billions, trillions, etc.
??Arithmetic for decimals, decimals are equal to ten, one hundred thousand is billions, and one billion is trillions. Big??Thousands are equal, tens of thousands are billions, and trillions are trillions.
In other words, what Liu Xinchang meant was that at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the number of registered households in the country was less than four million, and the population was only ten million. The fact that Liu Xinchang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, came to take a dip in this muddy water proved that Liu Xinchang wanted to speak for Rong Tuying.
Chen Jingxuan and others looked at each other, and Liu Xinchang continued:
"But after the Emperor ascended the throne, it is obvious to all that today, there are more than 900 people registered in the Tang Dynasty, and the population is tens of thousands. This is your merit, Your Majesty."
Since Emperor Jia'an came to the throne, the registered population has increased by more than half compared to the time of the late emperor. This is a real achievement and can fully prove the efforts and achievements made by Emperor Jia'an in governing the country.
People living and working in peace and contentment are not just empty words.
"The current treasury is abundant because the emperor has managed the country well. Therefore, I believe that the emperor's filial piety and desire to build a Zen temple will not affect the people's livelihood, nor can it be considered a wasteful move."
After Liu Xinchang said this, he stood with his hands respectfully.
Li Fulin and others looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.
As a result of the discussion, Tu Ying's advice was naturally creditable, and the emperor gave him full responsibility for the matter.
When the court came down, the officials from the two groups looked at each other coldly, each still unconvinced. After Su Ying and others followed Rong Tuying and left, the angry looks on the faces of Li Fulin, Chen Jingxuan and others turned into meaningful expressions.
When Concubine Cui in the palace heard this, she felt vaguely uneasy. It is too obvious that Rong Tuying wants to infiltrate the Ministry of Household Affairs and reach out to the treasury, but Emperor Jia'an still allows him to do so, which has to worry Concubine Cui.
In comparison, Fu Minghua was indifferent after hearing the news.
Emperor Jia'an must have some agenda when he allowed Tu Ying to taint the household affairs.
She thought of the box of butterflies that Yan Zhui got from Rong Tu Ying's place that day and gave to her. They were all made of gold and were extremely exquisite.
Rong Tuying was so generous as soon as he made a move, which clearly shows the Rong family's family background.
But the Rong family is so rich, but they are still not greedy enough. The bottom line is that what Rong Tuying wants to do is that the Rong family's money is not enough to support his actions, which is why he took the idea of ????the treasury.
Fu Minghua stood in front of the desk, with rice paper spread out in front of her. Biyun personally researched the ink for her. She stroked her belly with one hand, filled the pen with ink in her other hand, and drew a huge circle on the paper.
When Bi Lan saw it, she couldn't help but laugh out loud:
