After learning that Zhao Zhen was staying outside, Liu E frowned slightly and said to Lan Jizong beside him: "The official family is becoming more and more unruly. How can you, as the emperor, stay away from the camp at night? Qiu Xi was originally out of town.
Outside the palace, doesn’t he know why an emperor sits in a dignified manner without being in the hall?”
Lan Jizong didn't know what to say. He also felt that the official family was different from before, but he couldn't explain the difference. He could only smile and said: "Mom, please calm down. Although what the official family did in this matter is inappropriate, after all, it is Sinong."
In the temple's official office, with Chen Lin and Ye Hou here, there will be no trouble."
Liu E nodded slightly, and then sneered: "Ye An is taking advantage of the official family! How brave! You want me to pay for it with just a few words? The method he said should have been done by the Third Division, but now
If he uses his Puhui business name to do it, then won’t the people of the world have to be grateful to him Yunzhong Junhou, where is the home in heaven?!"
Lan Jizong nodded repeatedly and said: "What the sage said is that this matter should be handled by the Heavenly Family. Since the palace is paying for it, then a large amount of grain should be purchased in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After the price of grain rises in winter,
If we sell it at a low price in the name of the Tianjia, how can the people of the world not remember the kindness of the saints and officials?!"
"You're such a smart old guy! This matter needs to be considered in the long term. Previously, Xia Song was asked to use a large amount of money from the inner treasure treasury to open Cisheng Bank. Now he has to purchase a large amount of grain at a higher price than the market price. The same is true for the inner treasure treasury.
There’s not much left!”
Liu E naturally had her own considerations. It was impossible for her to invest a lot of money in regulating grain prices just because of Ye An's words. Besides, the court had not intervened in grain prices for so many years, and there had not been much turmoil, right?
But she still hopes to see a scene praised by all people, which will be of great benefit to the consolidation of her power.
Under her cultivation, the voices of two saints appearing in the court. Many people saw the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and hoped to maintain such prosperity. As for who sat on the throne... In Liu E's opinion, it was not
So important, she just wants the people, courtiers, scholars, farmers, and merchants to all feel this way!
Only in this way will her rights continue, and those annoying stubborn people will be prevented from returning to Zhao Zhen over and over again.
There is a delicate balance in the court now. The courtiers who support Liu E and the courtiers who support returning Zhao Zhen are almost the same, but there are still some people who just want to maintain the current situation. For them, whether it is Liu E or Zhao Zhen,
Zhen is in charge of the Song Dynasty. As long as the current peaceful age is not disrupted, it doesn't matter.
As a woman, she was not supposed to hold the power of the empire for a long time. Liu E knew this very well, so she wanted to make herself in charge of the Song Dynasty during which the national conditions were stable and the country prosperous, so that she could stop talking about it.
This was the Song Dynasty, not the Tang Dynasty, let alone the Five Dynasties. She knew better than anyone else that ascending to the throne was simply impossible for her. She could only get infinitely close to it, but she would never be able to become a legitimate emperor.
The Taizu of the Zhao family, Taizong, had long blocked that road. Whether it was due to etiquette or ancestral system, the harem could not legitimately interfere in politics. It was only when the emperor was young, and as Zhao Zhen grew up day by day.
The urgency in Liu E's heart became even stronger.
Whether it is Cisheng Bank or Ye An's current proposal to buy grain at high prices, they are all taking advantage of Liu E's weakness, making her unable to refuse the measures that are popular among farmers.
In the end, Liu E gritted her teeth and decided to purchase grain in the name of Puhui Company, but the money had to come from the Third Division. This was a measure to control grain prices, and the Third Division had no shirking responsibility.
In this way, Puhui Company is working for the Third Division, and it is also working for the Tianjia, creating a kind of bondage invisibly.
Ye An was shocked after receiving Liu E's decree. He did not expect that Liu E would have such courage to let Puhui Company cooperate with Sansi.
But he also has great fear, because as the cooperation between Sansi and Puhui Company deepens, Sansi may slowly take over Puhui Company and become another owner. And once the capital of the imperial court appears in
After Puhui Company, is Puhui Company still a Puhui Company?
Although the Third Division is also powerful in the DPRK, the problem is that the Third Division also has to listen to the father-in-law, which may turn this simple cooperation into a deep tie!
By that time, neither the Cao family, the Li family, nor the Ye family will be able to escape the control of the imperial court, because the imperial court always stands on the side of justice.
Liu E used Sansi instead of Zuozangku, obviously because the wealth in Zuozangku was not much anymore, and when the palace expenses were high, she could no longer spend money freely outside Cisheng Bank.
So Ye An drafted a memorial all night, imploring Liu E to take back his life, and analyzed the pros and cons, claiming that Puhui Company did not dare to compete with Tianjia for reputation, let alone use it to drive up his own worth and make others misunderstand that he was an imperial merchant!
Zhao Zhen's Autumn Festival is over, and the grain statistics of the entire Kaifeng Prefecture have also come out. This year's grain harvest in Kaifeng Prefecture is nearly 30% higher than last year, and this is before potatoes are fully planted.
The data is presented in lists, unified tables, detailed data, classified statistics, etc., so that people can see the results they want at a glance.
This is the first tabular data in the feudal dynasty. Ye An also wanted to make a pie chart or a bar chart, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it, so as not to be said to be too fancy or fancy.
But even so, many courtiers were refreshed when the detailed table was presented to the court. Some people thought it was showing off, after all, the statistics of the autumn harvest could be expressed clearly in words.
Facts speak louder than words. When the detailed form was sent to Fan Yong, the Third Secretary, he could get the numbers he needed by just looking at it at will, without having to search between the lines.
Not only that, the content of the document from Sinong Temple is clear, and all the figures are extremely accurate. Even the amount of grain collected per acre of land is recorded in detail, and it is even accurate to "a catty." This is something that is not found in ordinary documents.
Efficient office work is what officials pursue, and Ye An's documents achieve this, giving Fan Yong a sense of experience.
How could he not be surprised when he suddenly found a "clear stream" after flipping through a vast sea of documents every day?
Especially the documents of the Three Divisions, most of them contain numerical details. Fan Yong felt like he was going blind when he looked through them every day. Looking at the document from Sinong Temple in his hand, he couldn't help but admire: "Ye Hou, this document uses words."
Refined and clear at a glance!”
Being praised in the court, Ye An felt a little embarrassed and said: "Fan Gongmiao praised it. This is just a simple table. It lists the numbers for easy entry and comparison. This way the accounts will be clearer, right?"
"Well, very good, very good!"
Just when Fan Yong touched the beard on his chin and nodded with a smile, a discordant voice appeared: "It's just a document. Isn't Mr. Fan's praise a little too much?"
Xun Sheng looked around, and Ye An saw the tall and round Cao Li looking at him with a look of disdain, but Ye An himself didn't know why he was mocking him like this? He didn't offend him, it didn't make sense.
