Chapter 2429: I praised you for looking good

When Yun Dai entered, she saw Zhao Yuanjing holding the medicine bowl in one

hand, and still flipping through a stack of books such as account books.

Liu Dequan reminded him softly: "Father, my mother is here."

Zhao Yuanjing looked up, saw Yun Dai, and suddenly felt bright, and the room

seemed to be a little brighter.

"It looks good." Zhao Yuanjing's eyes were full of admiration and surprise.

"Until now, I really understand the meaning of that brilliance."

Yun Dai walked over with a smile, and said, "The emperor is neither a horrible

place nor a cheap place. Where is the pungent man?"

"Master praised you for your good looks."

"Is it good-looking, or is this peacock feather cloak good-looking?"

"Naturally, Dai'er looks good. If there is no beauty, this dress is just a

dead thing, what's the point."

"The emperor is now more able to talk to make people happy." Yun Dai squatted

in front of him, tilted her head to look at the booklet in front of him, and

asked, "What are you looking at?"

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said, "It's the end of the year. Look at the tax

items submitted by various places."

The bulk of the revenue of the national treasury depends on the annual corvee

tax.

Naturally, it is important.

In the first few years, in order to reduce the burden on the people, Zhao

Yuanjing ordered various tax reductions and exemptions. Especially in the

Northern Qi Dynasty, almost no taxes are collected, but the court has to

allocate a lot of money.

This is why the revenue of the treasury is always stretched.

Zhao Yuanjing clicked on the account book and said, "Reducing taxes in recent

years has made life easier for the people. But the pressure on the court is

great. The palace has always been inspected. You mother and son have followed

me, and you haven't had any rich days. "

He looked at the peacock hair cloak on her and sighed, "You are the Queen of

the Six Palaces, giving you such a dress, you think it is too luxurious. If it

was in the first emperor period, let alone the queen, it would be the lowest-

ranked lady. Concubine, the emperor said that he would be rewarded, and he

never cared about the price."

The room was warm with a charcoal basin, and Yun Dai took off the cloak and

handed it to Liu Dequan to hang it up.

Yun Dai smiled and said, "Do you have to live a life of extravagance to be a

queen? 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, I am a queen, and after

all, I am just an ordinary person. It takes three meals a day to live an

ordinary life."

What she said was plain, but it was moved.

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "In the past few years, the people’s life has

also eased. I think, after the new year, the taxation of Northern Qi will

gradually resume. In this way, you don’t have to take money from your Yunji to

fill the hole. ."

"For me, if money is of no practical use, it is just a number." Yundai said,

"I value Yunji not only because it can make money, but also because Yunji can

improve our technological level and productivity in Dazhou. Zhou developed

from an agricultural society to an industrial society."

Zhao Yuanjing sometimes did not understand the words that popped out of her

mouth, but he rarely asked.

Sometimes, the questions that he knew so much about her would occasionally

flash in his mind.

But it was just a passing thought.

He never wanted to question or ask anything in the past.

No matter how she knows so much, it doesn't matter to him.

No matter what kind of her, he accepts it all.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Yundai also realized that she had forgotten for

a while and said too much.

She sat next to him and smiled: "Is the medicine finished?"

"It's finished." Zhao Yuanjing handed the medicine bowl to the maidservant who

stood by.
