Afternoon, East Palace Study Room.
At this time, Gao Zongxian had calmed down and was sitting at the table reading official documents.
The princess's face was flushed and she was extremely moisturized.
As for Xiao Xian, he was wearing a eunuch uniform and stood behind him in misery, serving tea and water.
"Plague in Bingzhou? They don't go to the doctor, but they nag in front of me. What a bunch of losers."
"The national treasury is empty? Then let's tax it. Is it possible for me to make money for you?"
"There is a tiger problem in Pakistan. What do the local hunters do? They can't even handle a group of tigers!"
"Beidi actually went south again! These barbarians...if my father hadn't let me go, I would have killed you all!"
"..."
Xiao Xian's head felt heavy for a while, and he finally realized that the prince in front of him was probably only interested in fighting.
Regarding the aspect of governing the country, it can only be said that nine out of ten are understood, but nothing is known at all.
In my memory, the founding emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom was considered a capable person because he could fight his way out from all the rebel armies. How could you tolerate such an idiot to be the crown prince?
The Crown Princess, on the other hand, had a calm face without any expression. Maybe she was used to it.
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from outside the hospital.
"Your Highness!"
"Come in."
After receiving permission, a middle-aged scribe hurriedly walked in from the door.
Xiao Xian recognized that this was the head of the civil service under Gaozong Xian's family, and Mu Qingfeng didn't know why he came in such a hurry because of something important.
"Why are you so nervous?"
Although Gao Zongxian was not too fond of civil servants, he couldn't help but feel worried when he saw Mu Qingfeng's appearance.
"this……"
Mu Qingfeng looked at Xiao Xian with some doubts, as if he was wondering whether to speak.
Seeing this, Gao Zongxian waved his hand, indicating that he should speak directly.
Clinker, before he opened his mouth, Xiao Xian snorted coldly:
"You're blind! Our family is the internal affairs manager appointed by His Highness!"
"What?"
Mu Qingfeng was shocked and looked at Gao Zongxian for confirmation.
At this time, Gao Zongxian's face was as dark as carbon.
When the hell did you become housekeeper?
OK OK!
Gao Zongxian gritted his teeth.
He finally knew why Xiao Xian agreed to stay with him so happily.
This is a way of pretending to be powerful! What a Xiao Xian, you are really good at scheming!
Gao Zongxian pinched the official document and finally endured it.
"Yes, this is the newly appointed internal affairs manager of this king. He is one of our own, so don't worry."
Although Mu Qingfeng felt a little strange, after confirming his identity, he still said:
"Your Highness, our Da Chu state treasury is not full. In addition, Beidi suddenly moved south. The Holy Emperor is worried that something will happen if it is too late, so he has summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures."
"I was entrusted by Superintendent Wei to come here to ask His Highness what he has to say. I think this is what His Majesty meant..."
"this……"
Gao Zongxian gritted his teeth and told him to lead troops to fight Beidi. As long as his father's imperial decree is issued, he can immediately launch his troops to the Northern Expedition.
But if you ask him about his national policy, you will get a black eye.
Is it possible to really ask the father to increase taxes?
I'm afraid there will be another angry rebuke then.
Thinking of this, Gao Zongxian smiled bitterly and said:
"Mu Aiqing, please don't be idle. I know you will find a way, right?"
Mu Qingfeng nodded, and the scholar's momentum immediately increased:
"To be honest with Your Highness, I have also been summoned by Your Majesty along with all the civil servants. The plan has begun to take shape. As long as you make a few modifications and I take it back and report it, I will definitely be appreciated by Your Majesty!"
"Okay, okay, your love is really a blessing to this king! Come and tell me quickly!"
Mu Qingfeng stroked his beard and said confidently: "This plan is to change rice into mulberry!"
"If you plant rice on an ordinary acre of land, the harvest will never be less than five taels of silver, even if it is a good year. If you plant mulberry instead, even if it is bad land, the harvest will never be less than ten taels of silver!"
"I suggest that your Highness encourage officials to go to the countryside and guide the people to plant mulberry trees, so that the national treasury can be replenished and the people can become rich. Your Highness, you also..."
"Pfft!"
Just as Mu Qingfeng was talking more and more enthusiastically and Gao Zongxian was getting more and more excited, an inappropriate laughter suddenly sounded.
