Chapter 2431 I Am Praising You for Your Good Looks

When Yun Dai entered, she saw Zhao Yuanjing holding a medicine bowl in one hand and flipping through a stack of books such as account books in the other.

Liu Dequan reminded him softly: "Master, your Majesty is here."

Zhao Yuanjing looked up and saw Yun Dai. His eyes suddenly lit up and the room seemed a little brighter.

"It's beautiful." Zhao Yuanjing's eyes were full of admiration and amazement, "Only now do I really understand the meaning of the sentence "Pengpi Shengshui".

Yun Dai walked over with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, this is neither a humble family nor a lowly place, so where can I get this?"

"I just complimented you on your beauty."

"Am I better-looking, or is this peacock feather cloak better-looking?"

"Of course Dai'er is beautiful. If there is no beauty, no matter how good this dress is, it is just a dead thing. What's the point."

"The emperor is now more and more good at talking and making people happy." Yun Dai squatted in front of him, tilted her head to look at the book in front of him, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "It's the end of the year, let's look at the tax items collected from various places."

The bulk of the state treasury's revenue comes from annual corvee taxes.

Of course we need to pay attention to it.

In the first few years, in order to reduce the burden on the people, Zhao Yuanjing ordered the reduction or exemption of various taxes. Especially in the Northern Qi Dynasty, there was almost no tax collection, but the court still had to allocate a large amount of money.

This is why state treasury revenue is always stretched thin.

Zhao Yuanjing clicked on the account book and said: "Although the reduction of taxes in recent years has made people's lives easier, the pressure on the court is very great. The palace has always been under provincial inspection, and you, mother and son, have not lived a prosperous life with me. "

He looked at the peacock feather cloak on her body and sighed: "You are the Queen of the Sixth Palace after all. Even if I give you such a dress, you think it is too luxurious. If it were the time of the late emperor, not to mention the queen, she would be the lowest concubine. Concubine, the emperor will reward you as much as he says, and he never cares about the price."

The room was very warm with a burning charcoal pot. Yun Dai took off her cloak and handed it to Liu Dequan to hang it up.

Yun Dai smiled and said: "Does being a queen mean that you have to live a life of extravagance? If that's the case, why is there such a surprise that you gave me a peacock feather cloak? Even if you are the emperor and I am the queen, after all, they are just ordinary people. You have to live an ordinary life with three meals a day.”

What she said was plain, but it made people feel moved.

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "The lives of the people have become easier in recent years. I am thinking that after the New Year, I will gradually resume taxation on Northern Qi. In this way, I will no longer have to take money from your Yunji to fill the hole. .”

"To me, money is just a number if it has no practical use." Yun Dai said, "I value Yunji, not only because it can make money, but also because Yunji can improve the technological level and productivity of our country. It will promote the development of the country." Zhou developed from an agricultural society to an industrial society.”

Zhao Yuanjing sometimes couldn't understand the words that came out of her mouth, but he rarely asked questions.

Sometimes, questions about how much she knew would flash through his mind.

But it was just a passing thought.

He never thought to question or ask anything.

No matter how she knew so much, it didn't matter to him.

No matter what kind of woman she is, he accepts her completely.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Dai also realized that she had gotten carried away and talked too much.

She sat next to him and said with a smile, "Have you finished the medicine?"

"Drink it." Zhao Yuanjing handed the medicine bowl to the maid standing beside him.
