Chapter 989

"Retreat?"

Chang en's suspicions are uncertain. This kind of decision will not only offend a large group of powerful families, but also be hated by others. There is no way out.

Today is the carnival day of goldfish.

The fish food in the food box has been spread out half by Gu Jiu.

She told Chang en, "tell those mine owners that there are mines overseas, not only iron ores, but also gold mines. There are mines in the northwest and a lot of ranches. If anyone has the ability to run a ranch thousands of miles away, this palace will give it to anyone. "

Chang en was stunned.

Gu Jiu asked him with a smile, "is Chang Gong satisfied with this retreat?"

Chang en was tongue tied. "Did your majesty agree?"

"Such a big thing, of course, requires your Majesty's approval."

Chang en rubbed his eyebrows, "old slave, I want to think about it."

Gu Jiu chuckled, "do you think this palace is fantastic. There are mines overseas. This is true, not deception. There are mines and pastures in the northwest, the same is true. Beirong was driven out of the prairie. If Dazhou didn't occupy the vast grassland, a second Beirong would grow up in that place sooner or later. When he didn't eat, he would go south and plunder him, which became the inner trouble of Dazhou.

Therefore, the court can't leave the prairie alone. It's a pity to waste so much land. However, the imperial court has no access to it and its personnel and financial resources are limited. What should we do? Driving greedy people to occupy the grassland for the imperial court.

The most greedy people in the world are those who dare to open up mineral resources privately. For the sake of money, they dare to do what others dare not do. The northwest prairie, which belongs to its own ranch, and countless minerals waiting to be mined, is so attractive. With only a few words and persuasion from father-in-law Chang, a group of people can surely be persuaded to venture to the prairie. "

Chang en is under great pressure. "What's the point of overseas?"

Gu Jiu said: "overseas, there are golden mountains and silver mountains, vast land, fertile fields of three crops a year, forests that block out the sun, giant trees of hundreds or even thousands of years, and all kinds of rare things. The only trouble is that the local aborigines don't listen to education and are savage like savages.

The palace can promise that anyone who has the ability to occupy a mineral will be allowed to mine for a hundred years. Whoever has the ability to occupy a piece of land belongs to his private property, and the court can prove it to him. These private property can be passed down from generation to generation.

The palace can even promise to appoint them as officials dispatched by the imperial court overseas, starting from the sixth grade, and appointing officials by themselves. Those who went to the northwest prairie will be treated the same way. They will be appointed as the officials of the imperial court stationed on the grassland. The six grades will start, and the official department will give them official documents. "

This is a big deal.

It means that in order to occupy those enclaves, they no longer pay attention to the dignity of the imperial court, or even give up the power of the imperial court, and directly mobilize the folk forces to seize the territory by using the folk people. In the future, when the overall situation is certain, the imperial power will enter these enclaves again.

Chang en asked, "did your mother ever think that when these greedy people occupied overseas and the prairie, they would certainly not give up their interests and rights."

Gu Jiu smiles, "this palace does not need them to give up their rights and interests. It is enough for the palace to take a rope and tie all the people to a chain of interests. Personal power, in the end, can't compare with the power of the imperial court. Therefore, when they are growing up overseas in the prairie, the court should also be active and enterprising, cultivate itself and be powerful. "

Chang en pondered and asked, "has Niang ever thought about the response of the courtiers?"

Gu Jiu said: "the officials of the central government have gradually become clear. One group is active and enterprising, willing to accept new things and new thoughts. One group is stubborn and conservative, holding the ancestral law and uncompromising. In the final analysis, all the disputes in the imperial court are consciousness struggles. Is it time to forge ahead or to be successful?

His majesty has no intention of breaking the current situation, because the court needs different voices, but it can not connive at the conservative faction to expand its sphere of influence. Therefore, the court had anticipated the response of the courtiers and had the means to deal with it. The premise is that you do not discount the completion of the task assigned by this palace, do not create extra branches. "

Chang en's heavy responsibilities in the body, more and more feel the pressure mountain big, "the old slave is afraid of failing his mother's trust."

Gu Jiu said with a smile, "I believe you have this ability, and I have high hopes for you. Whether Dazhou can be prosperous again and walk out of a different road requires the efforts of all of us. I believe that if emperor Chengzong Wende still exists, he will also agree with the decision of this palace. "

Chang en's lips opened and closed, "is the northwest army leaving?"

"Duke Chang is really keen. Soon the court will get news that Xiliang invades again, and the northwest army is ordered to fight back. "

Chang en was stunned, and then suddenly realized, "so it is! It's no wonder that the empress wants to make a mineral inventory and drive the greedy miners to the northwest prairie. "

"You know, just don't tell me." Gu Jiu reminds him.

Chang en bows down to take orders, "Niang, don't worry, the old slave won't reveal a word."

"Empress, Empress Dowager and Princess Duan are coming." Ma Xiaoliu comes forward and whispers a reminder.

Xu Yousi was sent out to work, so Gu Jiu recalled Ma Xiaoliu to his side to wait on him.Chang en said goodbye.

Gu Jiu waved, "you go to be busy. The old Guozijian school has been vacated, and the staff have been stationed, waiting for you, the chief manager, to take office. As for the mineral inventory, you should consult with the Shao Fu, and when you have worked out the results, you should give the plan to this palace. "

"Yes, old slave!"

Chang en leaves in a hurry, avoiding empress dowager Pei and Xiao qin'er, the imperial concubine.

Gu Jiu went up and said, "I've met my mother. How is your mother doing recently? Are the palace people well served? "

Empress Dowager Pei said happily, "thank you for your concern. This palace is very good. It's not hot today. I'm out for a walk. Fortunately, qin'er goes into the palace with me. "

"Say hello to the queen!" Xiao qin'er said Wan Fu.

Gu Jiu said with a smile: "you are welcome. I'll go to the royal garden with my mother. "

"You have a mind." The Empress Dowager Pei said with a smile, "everything is good now. It's just that the palace is too cold and so big that we live in it. Thanks to qin'er, she took her children to the palace every three days

Xiao Qin Er lowered her head and said, "yes."

Gu Jiu said with a smile: "the Empress Dowager thinks that the palace is deserted. I'd better ask the imperial concubine to take turns to go into the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager to talk."

"No, no, no, no, no more." The Empress Dowager Pei repeatedly waved her hand, "if you find a daughter-in-law for your brother-in-law earlier, the palace will be more lively."

It is not that empress dowager Pei has never thought of giving Liu Zhao a talent show, but after banning Weiyang Palace last year, she now has no courage to intervene in Liu Zhao and Gu Jiu's affairs.

And after her many temptations, Gu Jiu became the queen, which was a day of tough and uncompromising.

Give Liu Zhao a backyard?

Ha ha!

I'm afraid Gu Jiu is about to kill her.

In all dynasties, such a tough queen like Gu Jiu is rare.

But Liu Zhao, as always, indulged him.

In a hundred years, he will be laughed at.

Sometimes, Empress Dowager Pei is more and more angry.

I wish I could go back to 20 years ago and say anything to stop Liu Zhao from marrying Gu Jiu.

The queen is not tolerant and magnanimous. The emperor does not dare to open the harem and even dare to sleep with a maid.

Empress Dowager Pei really wanted to laugh at Liu Zhao and live a miserable life.

But she put up with it.

Liu Zhao, she did not expect, she now depends on Liu Yu.

"Yu Ge'er is a big old man. Should you plan for him as a mother?"

Gu Jiu said with a smile: "thank you so much for your care. But his marriage is in no hurry. "

"Why not? He's about his age, and he's got kids. " Empress Dowager Pei is really worried.

Gu Jiu said: "he is the prince, he has his burden. His majesty and I have plans for his marriage. "

Empress Dowager Pei guessed: "is there no suitable candidate? None of the girls in the noble family have a good eye? "

Gu Jiu said a little, "this is just the second year of Jingming. There are a lot of things going on in the imperial court, and the current situation is unpredictable. Wait a few more years for the marriage of Yu Ge'er. "

Empress Dowager Pei frowned.

Xiao qin'er quickly came forward to change the topic. "Yesterday, I met my third younger sister, and there was trouble in their house. I feel tired for her

"What happened to the third family?" Empress Dowager Pei was really attracted by Xiao qiner's topic.

Old, like lively, like to see others more lively.

Liu Yan, the third elder, was born from a commoner family. She was not at all sympathetic. On the contrary, they enjoyed the fun.

Xiao Qin Er pursed her lips and said, "there is a herbal medicine shop under the name of the third younger sister. Some time ago, there was an accident. Someone ate his medicine and died."

"Why didn't my palace hear about such a big thing?" Empress Dowager Pei was very surprised.

Gu Jiu picks eyebrows and waits for the following.

Xiao qin'er said, "my daughter-in-law heard about it two days ago. People are killed by herbs. We must investigate. Check it up and down, and it turns out it's on Cai's head. "

Cai, the original match of Liu Yan.

Her dowry mother poisoned her and Liu Yan. The east window incident implicated the Cai family.

Later, the Cai family was copied and exiled. Emperor Chengzong Wende demoted the Cai family to Baolin and married the Cui family for Liu Yan.

"For so many years, hasn't Cai died yet?" Empress Dowager Pei asked, and was surprised that CAI was still alive.

Xiao qin'er said: "I have been living well, not dead."

Empress Dowager Pei asked, "how can we find Cai's head? As a housewife, can she change the herbs in the medicine shop by air conditioning? "

Xiao qin'er said: "she does not need to change the herbal medicine shop, she only needs to spend money to buy a life, to buy a person who is willing to die for money, and to plant the herbal medicine shop which is used to frame the three younger brothers and sisters."

Empress Dowager Pei nodded clearly, "what's the advantage of her doing this?"

Xiao qin'er solemnly said: "because she is ill, the medicine comes from the medicine shop of the third sister-in-law. She yelled, three younger sister-in-law wanted her, the medicinal material is poisonous. If it wasn't for Jing Zhaoyin, she might have succeeded in her plot. The third brother and sister cried to me yesterday, saying that when the accident happened, the third brother didn't trust her and even believed Cai's words for a time. She was so aggrieved that she ran to me and cried for a long timewww.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
