Chapter 1790

The prince was silent for a long time. Finally, he nodded and waved to Zhou man.

Man Bao took the things and withdrew. Seeing her coming out, Duke Wu immediately smiled and said, "doctor Zhou, your Highness has brought many things back from Jiangnan, including two colored satins. Your Highness has indicated that I want to give them to you. Do you think I'll send them to Chongwen hall or your home?"

Man Bao didn't expect to receive any gifts. He immediately said, "let me see."

Duke Wu led Zhou man down to see the colored satin.

The colorful satin in Jiangnan is very famous. The satin surface is very thin. I don't know how to weave and dye it. It's colorful. One of the butterflies is woven with colorful wings. The wings are folded and unfolded. Duke Wu gently shakes the satin surface, and the butterfly seems to be as beautiful as spreading its wings and flying.

Man Bao was so knowledgeable that he was amazed.

Duke Wu said with a smile, "these two colored satins were personally selected by the crown princess. She said you are young and lively with such a pattern."

Man Bao exclaimed and could only nod.

She reached out and touched the lottery satin and said, "I have to bother father-in-law Wu to send someone home. I can't stay in the palace."

Duke Wu smiled and said, "it's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Man Bao looked for it on his body. He found out the money bag and wanted to give it to father-in-law Wu, but he asked father-in-law Wu to push it back. He smiled and said, "doctor Zhou, what's the courtesy between you and me?"

He pointed out: "it's cold recently. I haven't seen your apprentice come to the palace for needles for a long time. I've made another mistake..."

When Zheng Gu and them entered the palace, Duke Wu didn't let them have a needle.

Man Bao understood for a moment. When he looked outside and saw no one, he folded his sleeve and said, "come on, I'll show grandpa Wu."

Duke Wu was so happy that he immediately gave his apprentice a wink and sat down in his chair to feel Man Bao's pulse.

Duke Wu's Apprentice closed the door and left only two people in the room.

Man Bao gave him a pulse and gave Duke Wu a needle. He had many problems. It should be said that there would be pain on the internal waiter, but Duke Wu was more serious than them.

Man Bao gave him a needle, took the needle and said, "you have a heavy cold in your body. I'll write you a prescription. You catch it and soak your feet to dispel the cold?"

Duke Wu hesitated and said, "it's not good. It's not good for our people to buy medicine from outside, from Taiyuan Hospital..."

It's not convenient. After all, it's necessary to enter the file. It's a big taboo to carry medicine gas on your body.

Man Bao said, "you take time to go to Taiyuan hospital tomorrow. I'll put you in the file. The medicinal materials used to soak your feet are not valuable. If you give some money for a pair of medicine, the medical assistance in charge of the pharmacy will turn a blind eye."

Duke Wu felt a dull pain in his waist and knee, and a tingling pain in his lower body. He hesitated and nodded, "I don't know when Zhou xiaotai will be in the Tai hospital tomorrow?"

Man Bao said, "I'll be on duty before the time of application."

Duke Wu understood and thanked Zhou man with a smile.

Man Bao finally took a reluctant look at his colored satin, and then walked away happily.

Neither the prince nor the princess knew what had happened between Duke Wu and Zhou man. Zhou man left with his front foot. The princess brought a bowl of soup to the prince and asked, "what did Zhou man say?"

The prince drank the soup. "Grandma doesn't have much time."

Although the crown princess had guessed, she couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and then asked, "do you want to walk more around the Dou family?"

The prince shook his head after a moment of silence. "No, there's still the father and the emperor. If we want to Jiandu's house, it's time for the father and the emperor to come. We often go to see the emperor's grandmother."

The princess nodded.

The prince was also sad for a while. He probably knew the Empress Dowager's physical condition and his father's current mood.

So he put down his bowl and got up. "I'm going to face the saint."

The Crown Princess didn't ask him how he did this job. She answered and served him out.

Duke Wu just pricked the needle and came out. Seeing that the prince was going out, he immediately came forward to serve him.

The prince strode to the gate of the east palace. Halfway through, he found Zhou man walking slowly in front of him and asked, "Zhou man, are we leaving now?"

Duke Wu:

He swallowed his saliva, bowed his head and said, "doctor Zhou xiaotai just went to see her royal highness and rewarded her colorful satin."

The prince was speechless for a while. He could see a colored Satin for so long. He was indeed a woman.

The prince turned with his back to Taiji hall.

Wei Zhi also washed and changed his clothes from home and came into the palace to report to the emperor.

This time they raided Jiangnan, they still got a lot of information there.

Yang's salt farms, farmland and some shops in the south of the Yangtze River were confiscated. Wei Zhi and the crown prince checked the situation of other families in the south of the Yangtze River.

The situation is not optimistic.

From what they have seen and private calculations, we can conclude that the annual tax reported is at least half less, and the situation of private households in Jiangnan is even more serious.

It can be seen that, in addition to the parts they can't see, I don't know how many taxes that should be paid to the imperial court have been hidden by those families.

However, Wei Zhi and the crown prince did nothing. They remembered what they had copied, and then the people who put it into the imperial court came back.

Wei Zhi reported to the emperor one by one, and then said, "since Sima, Jiangnan has been in a corner and has been under the control of all families. It was not until the establishment of this dynasty that all families returned to their families, but most people still stayed in the south of the Yangtze River. Now the military power, political power and financial power of the important towns in the south of the Yangtze River are mostly in the hands of Cui, Wang and Lu. Even if the imperial court sent officials in the past two years, they are not close to each other, that is to call back to other places. Your majesty is afraid it is not easy to rectify the south of the Yangtze River. "

The emperor also had a headache, "forget the others. Salt is the root of people's livelihood. In recent years, salt tax has been reduced a lot, private salt is still rampant, and people in places with little salt can hardly afford salt."

Wei Zhishen thought, however, that the hidden families of the aristocratic family could bear it for the time being, but salt could not bear it.

Wei Zhi asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to check Jiangnan?"

The emperor looked at the prince, "what does the prince think?"

The prince thought and said, "now is not the time."

The emperor looked at Wei Zhi.

Wei Zhi has been anxious since he went to Jiangnan, but he has to admit that the prince is right. This is really not the time.

Once checked, the aristocratic families that are only slightly United now may be stimulated to connect closely. At that time, they will tear the hole from Yang's body. I'm afraid it will be eaten by them.

So he nodded in frustration, indicating that now was really not the time.

The emperor frowned and sighed, and then said, "leave the matter of Jiangnan to Yan Li. Since it's not time, we'll wait for the time."

Wei Zhi and the crown prince should go together.

After talking about business, the emperor remembered to talk about private affairs, so he said to the prince, "go and see your emperor's grandmother. She hasn't seen you for a long time. She should miss you."

The prince bowed down and withdrew.

When he left, the emperor and Wei knew, "Wei Qing, I heard your little son came back from Quyang?"

A pair of the emperor's bright eyes, Wei Zhi's skin was tight, and he always felt that something bad had happened.
