Chapter 1685 Another Reward

Emperor Jingyuan looked at Ming Cong and frowned: "What do you mean by this, do you want to ask for credit from the Gu family?"

As long as Emperor Jingyuan had a calm temper, he was still very smart, otherwise he would not be favored by Emperor Jingwu and sit on the throne.

Ming Cong did not deny it, nodded and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I do have this intention. Gu's merits in medicine should be rewarded."

Emperor Jingyuan was silent and looked at the old lady of Yuan Guogong who was sitting in a corner of the Mingwei Hall.

His mother-in-law is old and has been weighed down by heavy makeup for more than two hours. Now her face is pale and her body is a little swaying.

Emperor Jingyuan said: "Although Gu made the insect attractant, she has dedicated it to me in the name of an anti-Japanese soldier for her man, so this insect attractant is not from her, but from the anti-Japanese army." The Rong soldiers offered... only one thing, so we can't let her take advantage of two things, right, old lady."

Hehe, since you have won the hearts of the soldiers with insect attractants, you should no longer expect royal rewards.

Mr. Yuan Guogong was almost fainting from exhaustion. When he heard this, he got excited and stood up hurriedly: "My wife is here."

But I got up too quickly and served too hard, and I almost fell down.

The four maids next to her hurriedly supported her, and only then did Mrs. Yuan Guogong stabilize her body.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Qin Gu said when she handed the prescription to Gao Lei that she had already benefited from using this prescription. I just hope that your Majesty will not think that she is being tricked and punish her. She just didn't want to do this. Be a widow. As for rewards, she doesnt dare to ask for them anymore, but the soldiers who fought against the enemy really worked hard and they should be rewarded.

Mrs. Yuan Guogong finished this important statement in one breath. She was out of breath and took a moment to recover.

Emperor Jingyuan sneered: "Well, she is self-aware. In this case, I think that she has indeed made a good medicine to cure pests, so I will absolve her of the blame."

This result is considered the best and one that Gu Jinli could have guessed.

Although Emperor Jingyuan did not run the country well, he was an emperor after all. As long as he was an emperor, he could not be a fool. We could see her purpose of presenting the prescription in the name of a soldier fighting against the enemy.

"As for rewards." Emperor Jingyuan looked at Dai Shangshu, who had been huddled in the palace for a long time: "It is my decree to give the soldiers who go to the northwest to fight against the enemy a heavy armor, 30,000 pigs and sheep, and reward each with two taels of military pay."

Dai Shangshu's feet were numb as he stood. Hearing the words, he hurriedly said: "I obey the order!"

Since when did Dachu stop being able to do it?

Maybe Da Chu has never really stood up... The wealthy families are too stubborn, and the mud-legged people are not very good... If Emperor Jingwu had ignored all the wealthy families and killed them all, or not allowed the wealthy families to enter the court as officials, he would have just With children from a poor family, the current situation in Da Chu should be much better.

However, Emperor Jingwu tried.

But the problem is that the children of aristocratic families do have the talent to govern the country, and the consequence of giving too much power to poor people is that too few of them can achieve anything. Most of them suddenly become rich and powerful, and soon get into bad habits, which makes them The imperial court became even more corrupt.

Im old, Im old, I dont think about these things anymore.

The old lady of Yuan Guogong has given up. Anyway, Yuan Guogong is no longer in charge of the army, so she has a sinecure. She has no ability to fight for anything anymore. The only person who makes her resentful is the queen.

The Empress, her daughter, was also a well-known figure in the capital back then. However, after entering the palace, she only lived a good life for a few years. After that, she suffered and was wronged, and she could not complain.

"Come here, call all the cabinet ministers and ministers!" Emperor Jingyuan was determined to get money, and he didn't want to delay it any longer, so he immediately sent someone to call all the ministers to talk about the matter.

Yes. The chief **** immediately sent someone to handle it.

Emperor Jingyuan looked at the palace servants and ordered them: "Send the old lady to the side hall."

The old lady of Yuan Guogong can't leave yet. He still has some questions to ask her.

"Yes." The palace people responded softly and helped the old lady of Yuan Guo to the side hall.

The old lady of Yuan Guogong was very tired, but she could only hold on.

Emperor Jingyuan began to discuss with Ming Cong how to deal with the elders. When the elders arrived, the two of them had agreed on their words.

Emperor Jingyuan didn't waste any time and said directly: "The army invaded and the battle in the northwest was difficult. Fortunately, our soldiers were brave. The good news came. I was very relieved and decided to reward the generals who resisted the army. However, there is not much silver in the national reserve, and The war against the Japanese will continue to be fought, and it will cost a lot of money. Therefore, I have decided to collect taxes from shops in various places. I have called you here to ask you, what is the appropriate tax for this shop? Is it 50%, 30%, or... 10%?

These words made several cabinet elders and ministers almost scold me.

How much is appropriate to charge?

It is best not to accept it!
