Although Murong Qingwu was very happy thinking about An Miaoyi secretly gnashing her teeth, but when she thought about this matter carefully, Murong Qingwu couldn't help but sigh secretly... ·······
Obviously, it was not just a matter of luck that the husband went to where Shen Yutong rested. He probably gave Shen Yutong some advice, but Shen Yutong knew the delicate situation between her and Jing Cheng!
Not counting the unborn child in his belly, my husband currently has four sons and two daughters, Jingren, Jingcheng, Xingtong, Jingxuan, Kexin and Jingheng!
Among them, Jingren is the eldest son and Ye Mingsheng's natural legal heir. But if anything happens to Jingren, then Jingcheng, who is second in line, will become the eldest son!
There have been rumors in the house that An Miaoyi was injured when she gave birth to Jingren, and she will not be able to have children in the future. Although there is no evidence to support this rumor, Pei Zhixiu, Bai Yuanyuan, and herself are all giving birth to a second child!
As a doctor, An Miaoyi received more blessings from her husband, but there was still no movement in her stomach, so she knew that this rumor was probably not empty!
Therefore, if something unexpected happens to Jingren, An Miaoyi will not be able to have children in the future, which means that the husband will have no legitimate son!
And if there is no legitimate son, then as the eldest son, Jing Cheng will become very advantageous in etiquette!
So in such a situation, Shen Yutong wanted to get Jing Cheng and the Yuan family married in a big way and enlisted the support of the Yuan family. It was no exaggeration to say that he was tugging at An Miaoyi's sensitive heartstrings... ·············
Based on Murong Qingwu's understanding of An Miaoyi, once Jingcheng really decides to marry the daughter of the Yuan family, Shen Yutong and Jingcheng will definitely become a thorn in An Miaoyi's side and a thorn in their flesh. Will they survive this winter? It’s hard to say!
Although she and Shen Yutong were old friends, Murong Qingwu knew very well that Shen Yutong was soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and very vindictive on the inside!
Shen Yutong will still remember the fact that the Murong family abandoned her father as an abandoned son. Therefore, if Shen Yutong gains power, the Murong family will surely suffer!
So even though Shen Yutong was his old friend, Murong Qingwu could only give her a ride for the sake of the family!
Murong Qingwu had already thought about it at that time. As long as Jing Cheng and the daughter of the Yuan family agreed on the baby, she would let An Miaoyi find out that someone in the house had given Jing Ren a baby.
Of course Murong Qingwu would not deliberately frame Shen Yutong. After all, doing so would be too obvious and deliberate, and it would be easy for others to see through that it was a frame-up!
She would only let An Miaoyi find out that someone in the house was cheating on Jing Ren. Murong Qingwu believed that An Miaoyi would be furious and would become suspicious of Shen Yutong!
After all, she wasn't pregnant again at that time, and she only had a daughter, Kexin, so even if something unexpected happened to Jingren, she wouldn't get much benefit!
But if something unexpected happens to Jingren, Jingcheng will be the one who benefits the most. If the Yuan family is there to help him, Ye Mingsheng may directly make him the "Crown Prince!"
Therefore, Murong Qingwu believes that in order to prevent Jing Ren from being harmed, An Miaoyi will definitely not hesitate and will definitely deal with Shen Yutong and Jing Cheng... ·······
The beauty of Murong Qingwu's plan was that she did not frame Shen Yutong. Although An Miaoyi believed that Shen Yutong did it, she had no evidence to retaliate openly, so she wanted to get rid of Shen Yutong and Shen Yutong. Jing Cheng would just use some shady means!
And if others don't know it, unless they do nothing themselves, killing Shen Yutong and Jing Cheng has already violated Ye Mingsheng's red line!
An Miaoyi has gradually fallen out of favor. If such a thing really happens, then Murong Qingwu believes that An Miaoyi will be abolished!
In this way, she can kill two birds with one stone and kill Shen Yutong and An Miaoyi!
Murong Qingwu learned this trick from an uncle and aunt in the Murong family. This trick almost succeeded in the end, but it was a pity that the aunt was not careful enough and was found out. That aunt also ended up swallowing gold and committing suicide!
However, Murong Qingwu was confident that if she were to implement it, it would be perfect and everyone would be under the control of her hands!
However, just when Murong Qingwu was secretly expecting that the engagement between Jing Cheng and the granddaughter of the Yuan family would kick off, Ye Mingsheng's will made everything come to nothing!
And this also made Murong Qingwu secretly feel a pity. After all, there are not many opportunities to kill two birds with one stone like this. Maybe it's just this once in a lifetime, but it was ruthlessly stopped by Ye Mingsheng... ··········
However, Shen Yutong did not know that Ye Mingsheng's will had inadvertently prevented a disaster for her and her children. She also complained to Ye Mingsheng and said some outrageous words to An Miaoyi because her fantasy of marrying the Yuan family was shattered. !
Although Shen Yutong did not dare to say these remarks to his face and only said them in private, but there are ears across walls, so you still know what you should know!
Murong Qingwu also heard about it, but she could only sigh. She knew that Shen Yutong, an old friend of hers, was also a thoughtful person. Shen Yutong would definitely have seen this clearly if she had not been in the game. where the joints are
But the authorities are obsessed with it, and Shen Yutong is also greedy. She wants her children to progress so much!
And now Ye Mingsheng asked her to apologize to An Miaoyi. In a sense, he also asked Shen Yutong to promise to An Miaoyi that she would not covet the throne and that she would be honest and behave herself in the future!
Although An Miaoyi didn't want to see Shen Yutong, she also understood that Shen Yutong did this because of Ye Mingsheng's instruction, so she accepted Shen Yutong's apology for Ye Mingsheng's sake!
The underlying meaning of this is that as long as you, Shen Yutong, don't cause trouble, then I will not target you and Jing Cheng in the future!
After trying to understand what was going on, Murong Qingwu sighed secretly. Judging from the way his husband handled this matter, Jingren's position was still very stable!
But I can see very clearly that An Miaoyi has fallen out of favor. Why does my husband love Jingren so much? Is it really because Jingren is the eldest son... ·········

Yijing, Hubu Yamen
In the office of the Minister of Revenue, Zhang Juning, the left minister, smiled and said to Cui Shao:
"Master Shangshu, Liaoyang's results this year are very gratifying. Not only have various goals been steadily advanced, 300,000 dans of coal have been transported to the provinces outside the customs, and a tax of 390,000 taels of silver has been paid to the imperial court!"
"This money from Liaoyang has been shipped to Yi Jing. It should arrive in Yi Jing either this month or next month. With this money, our accounts department will have a lot more money!"
Listening to Zhang Juning's words, Cui Shao also stroked his beard and said:
"Zhao Wanxian does have some abilities. It's no wonder that the commander-in-chief attaches so much importance to promoting him!"
Zhang Juning also sighed with emotion when he heard this:
"Cui Shangshu is dissatisfied with you for saying that when the commander-in-chief promoted Zhao Wanxian, I was not optimistic about Zhao Wanxian. This does not mean that Zhao Wanxian is incompetent. He did a very good job when he was the Chief Secretary of Youyan and handled a few things. It’s all very appropriate!”
"But I felt that it was a big step to promote him directly from participating in politics to the position of chief envoy. But now it seems that the commander is still far-sighted and knowledgeable. I am worried. It’s all superfluous!”
After saying this, Zhang Juning also shook his head mockingly. Seeing this, Cui Shao also smiled and comforted:
"Ju Ning, you have good intentions too! You were not the only one who felt this way at first, it's just that we are not as discerning as the handsome..."
After chatting around Zhao Wanxian for a few words, Zhang Juning and Cui Shao turned to the work of the Ministry of Accounts.
"Shang Shu, although the taxes from Liaoyang are an unexpected blessing, we are still facing a lot of holes now!"
"The most important thing now
The biggest problem is Dadongsheng’s debt problem. In the past year, due to the war, we have asked Dadongsheng to issue several bonds one after another! "
"Although the amounts of these bonds are not very large, the total amount is still quite large. At present, our total bond amount is close to five million taels of silver!"
"Even though most of these bonds are medium and long-term bonds, we don't need to repay the principal now, but the partially matured bonds plus interest will make the amount of money that needs to be repaid exceed 1.37 million taels!"
"Dadongsheng Company will definitely not be able to repay this amount of money, so we must have to pay for it from the Ministry of Accounts!"
"And now the war in Sichuan and Sichuan has not stopped, and the commander-in-chief wants to subsidize various provinces, but we only have so much money!"
"After giving out the rewards to the arrogant and brave generals in the Southern Expedition with the silver obtained from confiscating the houses in the south of the Yangtze River, basically there will be nothing left. After all the rewards have been given, there will only be less than two hundred thousand taels of silver left!"
"Our current main sources of finance are Liaoyang, Hebei, Qilu, and Youyan. I calculated that the tax we can currently collect will be more than 1.5 million taels... ···············》
"Including some previous fiscal surpluses, the total amount of money that the Ministry of Accounts can use is only about 2.3 million taels of silver!"
"After we pay off Dadongsheng's debt, it looks like we still have a lot of tax credits left at one million taels, but our expenses are not small!"
"This amount of money includes the salaries of all officials in the imperial court, and also provides military pay and pensions to hundreds of thousands of troops. This amount of money is really stretched thin!"
"In addition, I also heard that the staff department has a plan to develop the navy. It wants to build ten warships and some small boats. The people in the staff department are asking for three hundred thousand taels of silver. They are also serious. Dare the lion to open his mouth!"
Listening to Zhang Juning's words, Cui Shao also smiled and said:
"Ju Ning! Your abilities are known to everyone in the imperial court, so you can work harder and take more responsibility!"
Zhang Juning sighed after hearing this and said:
"Shang Shu! This is really difficult!"
"What I want most right now is to persuade the commander not to issue bonds. Although we can still afford the interest and some mature bonds, at this rate, I'm afraid the snowball will get bigger and bigger. Sooner or later, we won't be able to even pay the interest." rise·························"
"However, although I want to persuade the commander not to issue bonds, judging from the current financial situation, if we do not make reforms, we may still let Dadongsheng Company issue a few bonds. If we do not issue bonds, we may end up in the end. I don’t even have any money to pay for the army!”
Cui Shao was also a little silent when he heard this. After being silent for a few seconds, he said:
"The commander will make the decision!"
Listening to what Cui Shao said, Zhang Juning could only say:
"I hope so! I am now hoping that Huainan, Anqing, Yunbin, and Guanzhong can resume economic production as soon as possible. The commander-in-chief has implemented a tax-free policy for these places!"
"If these places can provide tax money to the court like Qilu, Jiyu, Youyan, and Liaoyang, the pressure on our household department will be greatly reduced!"
After speaking, Zhang Juning also looked at Cui Shao, with a hint of probing in his eyes, and it was only then that Cui Shao understood what Zhang Juning meant.
After pondering for a while, he met Zhang Juning's eyes and said solemnly:
"Juning! These places have been damaged by war, and many villages are already deserted..."
The imperial court now has to work with the local chief secretaries to find ways to revive these places. The imperial court is currently in financial difficulty and cannot provide blood transfusions to these places. The only thing we can do now is not to hold back the local chief secretaries! "
"The imperial court is under great pressure, and the local chief secretaries are also under great pressure. We must understand each other instead of trying to undermine each other. Granting tax exemption policies to these places is a decision made by the commander-in-chief after careful consideration. What we have to do is to do everything right. of execution, rather than
Use your brain to make a fuss about this! "
Listening to Cui Shao's serious and thoughtful words, Zhang Juning immediately wanted to speak up to defend himself, but before he could speak, Cui Shao waved his hand to signal him to calm down and continued:
"Ju Ning, I know you have good intentions! After all, even if there is any money left in the household department, it cannot be put into your own pocket. I understand that you are also dedicated to serving the public and want to relieve the financial pressure on the imperial court!"
"As the ancients said, the chariot must have its way to the mountain. Although the problems we are currently facing are serious, I believe that the solutions are definitely more difficult than the difficulties."
"And I just told you that our commander is well aware of this matter. Some solutions are already on the way. As subordinates, we just need to follow the rules... ················》
