Early morning, the Royal Palace, Fengtian Hall.
The civil and military ministers were divided into two classes.
Jiang Waner, dressed in a solemn dragon robe and an imperial crown on her head, walked in slowly.
Behind her were the personal maid Qing Xing and the old eunuch Qu Da.
When she sat on the dragon chair, the officials immediately knelt down and shouted long live.
Jiang Waner said in a deep voice: "Today's court meeting, do you have anything to report?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Taichang Wu Yi, the head of the Six Ministers, walked out of the ranks of civil servants.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Jiang Waner nodded slightly: "What's wrong with Wu Qing?"
Wu Yi asked: "Your Majesty, does he know that dry wine was put on sale yesterday?"
Jiang Waner: "Well, I heard about it. It is said that more than a thousand kilograms were sold in less than two hours, which is extremely popular."
Wu Yi nodded: "Your Majesty, what I have told you is this dry wine."
Jiang Waner was surprised: "Oh? What's wrong with this dry wine?"
Wu Yi shook his head: "Your Majesty, this dry wine is the internal money of Princess Yongning on behalf of the royal family, and is managed together with Zhao Hao, the son of Lord Nei Shi."
"To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a royal wine."
"This wine has been a great success since it went on sale yesterday. Even though the price is 800 yuan per catty, the supply still exceeds the demand."
"It is foreseeable that this wine will definitely become the number one wine in the world in the future."
"The annual income will be an unimaginable astronomical figure."
Jiang Waner smiled and nodded.
"Yes, we have tasted this wine when we welcomed the envoys from Wu and Shu."
"Compared with other wines in the world, its strength is extremely high. It can indeed be called the best wine in the world."
"But what does Wu Qing mean when he mentioned this wine today?"
Jiang Waner is so smart.
Although Wu Yi hadn't expressed her meaning yet, she already had some guesses in her mind.
Wu Yi said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court is spending a lot of money now. It has been nearly three months since the Battle of Zhenbeicheng, and we haven't even completed the compensation for the fallen soldiers."
"Now there are less than two months until winter officially begins."
"Winter is the time when snow disasters occur, and the court needs to prepare a large amount of money to deal with disasters."
"What I want is to transfer the management rights of dry wine from internal funds to the imperial court."
"The imperial court continues to expand the scale of dry wine brewing. In this way, two months will be enough for us to prepare a large sum of money."
After saying that, Wu Yi bowed slightly and saluted Jiang Waner again.
This Wu Yi is a child of the Wu family, a super aristocratic family.
Among the dozen or so super families, it is second only to the Lu family.
This world is equivalent to the time and space when Zhao Hao lived during the Jin, Sui and Tang periods.
In the entire world, the most influential people are the aristocratic families.
The royal family can be regarded as the largest family.
Because the royal family controls the army.
Whether it is Daqian State or the surrounding Wu State, Shu State, and Yue State, the basic layout is similar.
Because most of the country's officials come from aristocratic families.
They are the children of aristocratic families first, and then officials of the country.
It is precisely because of this that the aristocratic family can often influence the court and the emperor's decision-making.
Of course, aristocratic families must also master a certain degree of control. If the bottom line is stepped on, the royal family is absolutely capable of wiping out some aristocratic families through violent means.
Hearing what Wu Yi said, Jiang Waner's beautiful eyes couldn't help but twinkle.
She looked at Zhao Wenxiang: "Zhao Qing, what do you think of Wu Qing's proposal?"
She made no first comment.
Instead, he asked about Zhao Wenxiang.
This is also normal.
Zhao Wenxiang is Zhao Hao's father, and it was Zhao Hao who created the dry wine.
After cooperating with the royal family, Zhao Hao still has 50% of the shares.
Zhao Wenxiang quickly stepped out and bowed to Jiang Waner.
"Your Majesty, this dry wine is managed by the minister's son in cooperation with the royal family, and Mr. Wu means that it will be managed by the imperial court."
"So, I think it's better not to express my opinion."
"If I agree, it will appear to be false, and it will be suspected of seeking fame and reputation."
"If I object, it will appear that I am heartless and only care about my family and not the country."
"Therefore, it is inconvenient for me to express my opinion. Your Majesty should discuss the decision with your Lordships."
"No matter what the outcome is, I have no objection."
Listening to his reply, none of the courtiers were surprised.
At a young age, Zhao Wenxiang was entrusted by Jiang Waner with the extremely important position of internal history.
In court, he speaks and acts with a sophistication and maturity that belies his age.
The courtiers were not surprised, and Jiang Waner was even less surprised.
She relied heavily on Zhao Wenxiang and naturally knew that what Zhao Wenxiang said was true.
This is by no means a person who only cares about his family and not the country.
So she nodded and said softly: "Then let's discuss this matter with you."
When her voice fell, Situ Hanfu came out and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Lord Taichang's proposal."
"There are two reasons."
"First, as Mr. Wu said, there are too many ways for the court to spend money now, and tax revenue alone cannot make ends meet."
"Secondly, the internal funds control a huge amount of money. I think it is not a good thing for the children of the royal family."
"It will further breed and encourage the hedonistic behavior of the royal family."
"It may not matter in a short time, but as time goes by, it will be difficult for a real pillar of talent to appear in the royal family."
"This is definitely not a good thing for the royal family!"
"Therefore, I agree with Lord Wu's proposal!"
After Han Fu finished speaking, he bowed to Jiang Waner again and stepped back.
At this moment, an angry voice suddenly sounded.
"What a fart!"
Everyone quickly followed the sound and saw that the speaker was none other than Kang Wang Jiang Xuan.
King Kang walked out with an ugly face and saluted Jiang Waner.
If anyone dares to speak like this in court, this prince is the only one in the entire Qian Kingdom.
Regarding his attitude, Jiang Waner just smiled and shook her head.
"Uncle Emperor, what do you think about this matter?"
King Kang snorted: "Your Majesty, what Wu Yi and Han Fu said are completely baseless and unreasonable!"
"The internal funds are the private property of the royal family."
"Since this dry wine comes from the royal family, it belongs to the royal family!"
"As it should be."
"The two of them want to be assigned to the imperial court, which is completely against etiquette and law!"
"Sophisticated nonsense!"
"How can my royal private property become public property in just a few words?"
"Therefore, I strongly oppose it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taichang Wu Yi next to him turned to look at him.
"Your Majesty, this is wrong!"
"This world belongs to the royal family. Now because of the affairs of the court and the world, there is such a shortage of money and food. Could it be that the prince wants to just watch and ignore it?"
"After transferring the power of dry wine management to the imperial court, the urgent needs of the imperial court can be alleviated immediately."
"What's wrong with this?"
