Chapter 164 Repaying the Merit(2/2)
Even though she lived deep in the palace, she knew about the Song Dynasty's lack of money.
The amount of money is positively related to the output of copper.
When Emperor Daxing was still alive, he worked hard, thought day and night, and tried every method to make more money.
He even repeatedly issued edicts to personally reward those mine supervisors who could pay more tribute to the copper!
Not only that, Emperor Daxing was such a money-loving person that in order to increase the output of copper, he even listened to the opinions of the old party elders and restored the world mining and metallurgy policy of the Renmiao era - the government and the people drew points every 28!
The government will take two cents, and the remaining minerals will be purchased for five cents at the market price. The remaining minerals will be left to the people.
Even so, copper is still not enough!
And it’s far from enough!
Now, is there a new way?
Queen Mother Xiang was naturally happy.
Especially when she read Shen Kuo's Memorial and saw Shen Kuo attribute all the credit to the Two Palaces Cisheng, especially after Sixth Brother gave him advice.
She was even happier.
"Emperor Daxing really chose this minister well!" Empress Dowager Xiang said happily: "He is a loyal minister!"
In the heart of Empress Dowager Xiang, she did not believe what Shen Kuo said, "His Majesty the Emperor, the Holy Wisdom, personally gave the sages the classics and taught them the holy teachings of the saints."
The Queen Mother knew that this was an excuse.
That Shen Kuo is showing his loyalty in this way!
She and the Queen Mother have also been in power for more than two months, and they have seen this kind of thing too many times!
Many ministers wrote to discuss the matter, and they would attribute most of the credit to "the two palaces are compassionate and the emperor is sacred".
They try their best to find reasons and excuses to prove that this is the case.
At first, Queen Mother Xiang actually enjoyed it.
But now it's been more than two months, I've gotten used to it, and the threshold has lowered.
Therefore, she did not take Shen Kuo's words to heart.
It was because Shen Kuo put the credit on Sixth Brother for giving him letters and warnings, which made Empress Dowager Xiang very satisfied.
This is a new type of bragging!
It sounds much better if you say it out loud.
So, he put down the memorial and said to the Queen Mother and Zhao Xu: "Let's go, Sixth Brother, go to Baoci Palace and inform the Queen Mother of this good news!"
"Let the Queen Mother be happy too!"
Zhao Xu nodded vigorously: "That's exactly what it should be!"
What I wrote this afternoon was related to the imperial examination. After I finished writing it, I realized that it had nothing to do with the main text, and it would not have any role in promoting the current and future plots. If I post it, I will probably be criticized again, so I will delete it all~
Well, actually the most important thing is that there will be a plot similar to the imperial examination in the future as the main plot!
This is the precursor to the protagonist taking over the government, which is the first imperial examination for the new king in three years, the Long Fei Bang!
Chapter completed!
