Chapter 1661
Helian Rongjiu was very relieved to see that they were so concerned about the war, and sighed: "It's not what you think, the Marquis of Ning'an can fight well, and with him, nothing will happen."
"Your eldest brother's kung fu is also good, and he is also familiar with military books. The Marquis of Ning'an has praised him many times in his letters, and he has already achieved a lot of merit. In other words, Xuanqing is now in the upper hand."
"It's just that the Chongyan Kingdom's wolf ambitions, they won't retreat after several defeats, and they won't accept peace talks. They're still looking for opportunities to attack, so they can't come back."
The two brothers and sisters breathed a sigh of relief, and Murong asked Lingran, "Then why do you frown?"
Helian Rongjiu said: "I'm thinking about how to raise more food and rations. Although the food and salaries are still enough now, the natural disaster is really coming, and if the war continues to stalemate, it is estimated that a lot of money and food will be spent, so it is better to do it early. Prepare."
Although the treasury is still full of money, it just looks like a lot. Once a disaster occurs, the money will not last long, and it will definitely go out like flowing water at that time. , or to plan ahead.
Murong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement: "Although the emperor's money is earned faster than anyone else, he is also used faster than anyone else."
Helian Rongjiu said: "So, now a lot of things are piled up together, and every day is exhausted. Today I will go out to relax and see how the people are doing. I saw your carriage coming to the Hou's mansion on the way. came along."
"So it is." Murong asked, "Then have you found a way to raise food?"
Helian Rongjiu shook his head: "No, when there is a war, it is normal to increase taxes. I originally wanted to increase taxes, but seeing the way the people are now, it is impossible for the capital to increase taxes for the time being, and it will have to wait until after the autumn harvest. . As for other places, many places experienced wars and turmoil a few years ago, and they have not recuperated for a long time. Now I have to increase taxes for them, and I can't bear it. "
It’s just that if he and the courtiers can’t think of another way, and the war can’t stop, it is estimated that sooner or later, taxes will be raised.
is really a good emperor.
Murong Lingran glanced at the sky, and then looked at the surrounding environment, and suddenly had an idea, and said confidently: "Ninth Young Master, how much food do you need now?"
Helian Rongjiu asked suspiciously, "Do you have a solution?"
"You say it first, if there are not many, maybe my solution will work."
Murong Xuan frowned and raised his heart involuntarily. Could it be that my sister is talking big?
With the speed at which their family is making money now, how can they have the ability to help the emperor raise food and wages? How much money does their family have in total? Even if all of them are donated to the imperial court, they will not even hear the splash.
Helian Rongjiu didn't dare to underestimate Murong Lingran, she said that if there is a way, then there must be a way, after thinking about it for a while, she said, "At least two million taels should be raised first, just in case, of course. , if you can raise more, that's even better."
Two million taels?
Murong Lingran's brows furrowed immediately, this was an astronomical figure for her.
Helian Rongjiu raised her eyebrows and said, "What? Too much?"
Murong Lingran looked at his contemptuous eyes, straightened his waist immediately, and said loudly, "Who said I'm too much? It's just that my method can't work alone, and you need your cooperation."
