Chapter 485 Let women also get land

Although Xiao Zhen couldn't bear to be separated from He Baoning, the climate was so different from the place where He Baoning grew up. In this case, He Baoning's health must be the most important thing.

At lunch time, He Yongdao and Qian Lan entered the palace. This was the first time for the two of them to see their grandson. When they saw the infant grandson sleeping with his eyes closed, the two of them laughed so hard that they couldn't stop laughing.

Ear your lips.

He Yongdao was very generous and gave his grandson a large stack of banknotes to express his feelings.

Xiao Ningle took the banknote and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, dad."

Xiao Yi, who heard Xiao Ningle being so affectionate, said: "..."

He had rarely seen Xiao Ningle calling him so sweetly before.

After lunch, Qian Lan discussed with Su Jingyan about letting He Baoning return to Hangzhou to recuperate, "Madam, this is the city where Baoning grew up, and it is more suitable for recuperation than Luoyang. I

I want to let her go to Hangzhou city to take good care of her this winter..."

Su Jing said: "It is true that Baoning's body and bones are in serious condition. After the death of the Empress Dowager, Baoning was also tired. She should go back and take a good rest. Unfortunately, Zhen'er is currently busy with affairs in the court and may not be able to accompany Baoning to Hangzhou."

city."

Qian Lan said: "I don't dare to trouble the prince, I will just accompany Baoning back to recuperate."

Su Jing said: "No! Flies don't bite seamless eggs. There are already many wealthy people in Luoyang City coveting the position of Zhen'er's concubine. Baoning will still have some scruples among them. If Baoning goes to Hangzhou

Cheng, isn’t Hazel just like an egg with a crack?”

Although Su Jingyan can give Xiao Yi full confidence, she really can't trust her own son.

Xiao Zhen was born into a noble family. If he really wanted to have a concubine, Su Jingyan wouldn't be able to stop him. But as someone who has lived through it, she didn't want to share her husband with anyone else, so she wouldn't let her daughter-in-law suffer this injustice.

Qian Lan was stunned when he heard what Su Jingyan said. Su Jingyan's worries were not unreasonable, but Qian Lan cared more about He Baoning's health than coveting the position of princess in Luoyang.

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, but Baoning's illness cannot continue forever. If the prince wants to find some younger sisters for Baoning, it is appropriate. After all, if Baoning's illness continues, it will be difficult for her to have children in the future.

.”

Su Jing said: "Well, Baoning's child is also suffering a fate. No matter what you decide, I will help you keep an eye on Xiao Zhen and will never allow him to betray Baoning."

Qian Lan was very grateful and said, "With your Majesty's words, I feel relieved."

Su Jingyan said to Qian Lan: "Since you are going back to recuperate, you should take good care of yourself. The most important thing is to be in a happy mood. Your Majesty and I are not in a hurry about the heirs. We will just take our time."

Su Jingyan has always felt that there is no shortage of heirs in the royal family. She has three children herself, so there is no need to force the younger generation to become parents early.

Qian Lan felt a lot more relieved after hearing Su Jingyan's words.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, He Baoning boarded the ship to Hangzhou City. The trackers were already pulling the ship to set sail. He Baoning stared at Xiao Zhen on the shore with reluctance. She was even more afraid of the coming spring after the hot weather.

There will be many new people added to the Luoyang Palace when they come back.

Xiao Zhen watched the ship go away, and gradually lowered her shaking hand. She looked at He Yu and said, "When can you enter the court to replace me? Then I can accompany Baoning to Hangzhou City."

He Yu said: "Are you really willing to give up your current power in the Ministry of Household Affairs to go to Hangzhou City?"

Xiao Zhen said: "Why can't I give up the power I have now? I was born with all this power. I am already powerful. I just feel pity for my father who is already very old and my imperial sister just gave birth to a child to help them."

.”

He Yu smiled slightly and said: "It's coming soon. When I win the title in the spring, I can join the court and become an official."

Xiao Zhen frowned slightly and said, "Have you figured out that you want to take the Ming Economics exam?"

"No, take the imperial examination." He Yu said.

Xiao Zhen frowned slightly and said: "Then what you said is nonsense. I really don't understand why you are so focused on Jinshi. Ming Jing Ke is just the icing on the cake for you. You are the emperor's wife, and you will get another Ming Jing Ke.

Being an official is also justified.

Why do you have to take the Jinshi test? Do you know how difficult it is to get a Jinshi? How many teachers in colleges have taken the exam for ten years before they can get a Jinshi."

Xiao Zhen was really anxious. He didn't want to be lazy. As a prince, it was his duty to work for the court and the country.

But he was more worried about his wife's physical condition, and only hoped that He Yu could join the court as soon as possible so that he could share some of the burden for him.

He Yudao: "After all, Ming Jing is not a Jinshi, but he is still a little behind. Since I am the husband of every year, I naturally have to give her a face. Now everyone in the court says that I can only enter the East Palace with my face..."

"You actually care about these things." Xiao Zhen patted He Yu on the shoulder and said, "Sister Huang was mystified by you because of your face and let you take over the East Palace."

He Yu snorted, "Of course I care. Looks age easily. What if a younger and more handsome man appears next to me every year? I can't stay in the East Palace just by my looks."

Xiao Zhen said: "It's up to you, but if you don't win this time, you will really become the laughing stock of Luoyang. Be careful, my imperial sister really doesn't like you."

He Yu said confidently: "Brother, can't you give me some confidence?"

There were only more than two months left before the exam. He just wanted to be a Jinshi and be able to enter the court and become an official in an open and honest manner, instead of being a pretty boy as others said.

Xiao Zhen said: "I'm not afraid that if you fail, you will lose the face of my imperial sister. Then even if you and I have been brothers for many years, I won't be able to help you."

He Yudao: "It won't be the same every year as you said. If I don't win, she will definitely encourage me, so she won't be angry with me because she loses face!"

"Are you sure?" Xiao Zhen shouted, "If you fail, believe it or not, my imperial sister will be so angry that she will divorce you."

He Yu was really not sure. After returning to the East Palace, He Yu saw Xiao Ningle holding the child with one hand and looking at the memorials from various places, and even stepped forward to take the child from her hand.

"Isn't there a wet nurse?"

Xiao Ningle said helplessly: "Rui'er just wanted to be hugged by me."

Sure enough, as soon as He Yu took Rui'er over, the little man burst into tears. He Yu frowned and said, "He has recognized me after only a few months. I finally understand why Your Majesty doesn't want to see you."

Xiao Ning Lelian took the child from He Yu and said, "Stop talking nonsense, has Baoning left?"

"Well." He Yu looked at the memorial in Xiao Ningle's hand and said, "Now this memorial is all about the new agricultural tax."

Xiao Ningle nodded and said: "This is related to the interests of many people. They must find a way to prevent the imperial court from eating their meat. What's more, some people even think that this matter is because my father wants Yi Chu to let Yi Chu.

Xiao Zhen went to earn political achievements, but also wanted to help me defeat Xiao Zhen...

Do I need their help to defeat Xiao Zhen? I can make Xiao Zhen dare not say a word in front of me with just two fingers!"

He Yu also smiled and said: "Since you have recovered and entered the court this time, there must be many people thinking that you can cancel the new agricultural tax for them."

Xiao Ning said happily: "But not only will I not cancel the new agricultural tax, I will also allow women in the world to get land. From today on, every girl under the age of fifteen can get one acre of land.

Women can get two acres of land, and women don’t have to pay taxes on their land..."

He Yu said: "Isn't this appropriate? Where does this woman's land come from? Your Majesty implemented the new tax because the court no longer has any land to allocate..."

Xiao Ning said happily: "The imperial court does not have it. Those merchants from aristocratic families have plenty of land. If they have to pay such a large amount of tax this year, they may feel that it is better not to grow food. If the land is used to offset the tax, they will only be willing to do so."

He Yu said: "If this happens, wouldn't it mean that the land among the people will be divided among their daughters in the future? This may make the common people unhappy."
