The Power of the First Daughter, Doctor and Concubine Dominates the World

Chapter 369 Escort

Xie Zhiwei came in, greeted his grandfather and second uncle first, Xie Mingcheng got up and saluted Xie Zhiwei, "Big sister!"

After meeting each other, Xie Tiao smiled and told Shen Shuang, "Bring a cup of Mingqian Longjing from the day before yesterday to the eldest girl."

When the tea came, Xie Zhiwei sniffed the fragrance, took a sip, and praised, "The tea from my grandfather is better."

Xie Zhongbai laughed, "Your elder brother and I are here, we only deserve to drink Liu'an tea. Your grandfather just took out this Mingqian when you came. Do you agree?"

Xie Zhi smiled, "Second uncle, are you jealous? Who told me to be a girl? Girls are naturally more likable than boys."

"That's the truth!" Xie Zhongbai said, and asked, "Do you have anything to say to your grandfather? For tomorrow's trip? Your grandfather told me and your eldest brother, and arranged thirty for you. Guard, ask your elder brother to **** your siblings."

"You don't need so many guards." Xie Zhiwei thought that when the emperor travels, Lu Yan will definitely accompany him, and there are people around Xiao Xun, so why should he bring a lot of ordinary guards who are usually useless and can't be protected by himself when he encounters robbers?

"I came here to tell my grandfather that I'm afraid he has to pack his luggage. Just now, the emperor decided to go to Taohuawu to relax tomorrow, so he asked Mr. Lu to talk about it. Since the emperor is going out, he must bring his entourage with him. It's hard to say , Grandpa will accompany you."

"What?"

Xie Tiao was startled, "When did the emperor say to go? When you came out of the palace, the emperor made a decision? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Since Xie Tiao finished his errands to fight the epidemic, he was transferred to the household department as the second-rank secretary of the household department. After handing over to Shen Tingyang, he realized that this household secretary is not a good position. The silver is less than one hundred thousand taels, and he can run horses in the warehouse. Even if he can produce silver, it is not so fast!

Shen Tingyang was released to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he was going to be a great official in the frontier. He left Beijing yesterday, and Xie Tiao went to the Ten Li Changting Pavilion to see him off. Shen Tingyang finally told him the truth, "Brother, I'm really sorry is you!"

Xie Tiao felt like crying at this time, "Spring is about to start, and the disasters in various places have only been summarized, and the money for disaster relief has not been settled. Last winter and this spring, even the disasters on the two lakes were very serious. Your Majesty Traveling at this time is a major event in the court..."

Speaking of this, Xie Tiaochou died. He was promoted from the third rank to the second rank. I don’t know how many people in the court envied him for raising a good granddaughter. Near the capital, if it spread to the capital, that would be really incredible.

Xie Zhiwei donated 2.5 million taels of silver to the imperial court, and this time he made a great contribution, and he, the chief dispatcher, naturally had to follow him. How could the emperor not promote him?

"Grandfather, are you worried about the lack of money in the court?" Xie Zhiwei watched his grandfather frown so worriedly that the word "Chuan" appeared, and couldn't help covering his lips with a handkerchief and laughing gloatingly.

Xie Zhongbai looked at his niece with a smile, "You little brat, are you laughing at your grandfather?"

Xie Zhiwei also felt that something was wrong, cleared his throat, sat up straight, "Grandfather, it's actually a good time for you to take over the household department at this time, after all, Shen Tingyang didn't make any achievements before."

Xie Tiao said awkwardly, "Even so, grandfather still doesn't have a system for the household affairs. I don't know if he can do better than Mr. Shen in the future."

Xie Tiao was transferred to the Household Department. Although there were rumors before, the transfer of the six departments was no small matter. This time, the emperor did not even say hello, and was directly appointed at the Great Court Assembly, which really caught Xie Tiao off guard.

"Granddaughter reads history books. What the household ministers in history did was nothing more than please cut redundant food and flatten taxes and labor; strictly enforce the salt law and the ban on money; Merchants, to increase the income of the court. If these are done well, it can indeed reduce the burden on the common people and fill the treasury, but all these need a long-term process. Now that the first assistant is not a grandfather for the time being, it is inevitable that many things will be hindered. If you want to make money in the short term, judging by your granddaughter, it’s better to let the merchants come quickly!"

Xie Tiao listened to Xie Zhiwei's few words, and then explained the regulations of the household department clearly and thoroughly.

"Tell me, how can you be a merchant?"

"Of course it's trade, divided into frontier trade and maritime trade." Xie Zhiwei said, "For frontier trade, my granddaughter's idea is to open up the frontier and let the nine sides arrange people to **** those merchants in and out of the border while collecting protection fees and collecting taxes at the same time. The effect of 'convenience' also increases taxes and reduces the burden on the people."

Xie Tiao couldn't help but his eyes lit up, then darkened immediately, "Is this feasible?"

"Grandfather, this matter can be proposed, and the emperor will send someone to choose a pass on the nine sides to try."

If you taste the sweetness, the emperor will naturally be happy. Xie Zhiwei didn't say this, but Xie Tiao heard it, and immediately stroked his beard with a smile, "What about maritime trade? The late emperor said that no piece of board can go into the sea!"

"One moment and another moment!" Xie Zhiwei said, "In the third year of Jianyuan, when the Yong Dynasty was established, there were still many separatists who refused to surrender, and there were constant disputes with Xiliang, Beiqi, Huihe, and Nanzhao, and the internal strife was ignored How can we take care of the riots and nuisance of these pirates in Ryukyu, and we can't take care of it for a while, so we have such a sea ban policy."

Xie Zhongbai also hurriedly said, "This is the truth, Dad, why don't you try it?"

Xie Tiao was a little moved at first, but when he heard his son say this, he was a little dissatisfied, so he glanced sideways at him, and asked Xie Zhiwei, "What about now? How about this moment?"

"Nowadays, although there are still wars with Xiliang, and there is only three to five years of peace in Beiqi, there is no civil strife in Dayong, and the Yuan family is the commander of Fujian in the south. As far as my granddaughter knows, although the sea ban restricts Ryukyu and other pirates went ashore, but they also restricted domestic and foreign trade and the fisheries of the fishermen. It was the common people who suffered, and the pirates and those bold businessmen were not affected in any way, and even made great profits. Otherwise, how dare they Take the risk?"

Xie Zhiwei raised his head and looked at Xie Tiao, "Grandfather, do you still remember the Pu family who ruled in Quanzhou? Why was it so difficult for Emperor Taizu to attack Quanzhou? Dayong has already established a dynasty. Doesn't the Pu family know that their arms can't twist their legs?" It is not Dayong, but Dayong's sea ban policy that the whole family is fighting against. After all, the Pu family used to be the Secretary of Shipping in the previous dynasty."
