The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 651 Credibility

Wei Heizi squatted in the corner, hearing the people in the village arguing, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Yesterday, Lizheng came to inform that the palace would accept pickled vegetables and dried prickly pears and other small things. Lizheng advised them to exchange notes instead of money, because it is more cost-effective to exchange notes than money. When the princess comes back from the capital to buy food, she will first put them away. The grain is exchanged for those who have a sliver, and then the rest is sold.

But the people in the village don't really want to change the tiaozi. Who knows if the tiaozi can be exchanged for food in the future? Only the money in hand is real, Li Zheng sighed and persuaded them: "Could it be that the palace still owes us this little money? This time the yamen is taking the lead, and they will never rely on us."

The villagers didn't speak, and thought to themselves: It's because the Yamen took the lead that we couldn't believe it.

At that time, if the palace is not replaced, can they still rely on the palace?

Seeing this, Lizheng could only sigh, he was a respected old man in this area, that's why the Yamen asked him to come forward, but everyone didn't trust the Yamen very much, so he couldn't help it.

When everyone dispersed, Lizheng got up with his hands behind his back, Wei Heizi hurriedly ran over to support him, Lizheng squinted at him for a while before he saw clearly, "It's Heizi."

Wei Heizi smiled embarrassedly, "Sixth uncle, nephew and grandson will send you back."

Li Zheng nodded slowly, and when he reached the door of his house, Wei Heizi asked, "Sixth Uncle, is your family exchanging money or notes?"

"Change notes." Li Zheng said flatly, not because he trusted the Yamen, but he actually went there with the mentality of taking a gamble.

When Wei Heizi heard Lizheng say that, his mind settled down. After returning home, he said to his parents and daughter-in-law, "Our family has changed notes."

Mother Wei hesitated, "Then what if they default?"

Wei Heizi gritted his teeth and said, "No way, the Sixth Uncle will change the note, he will never let himself lose money, if it's all repudiating, even if we can't get it right."

Wei Heizi lowered his head and said, "Father, mother, I've done the math. Our family's things are only two to three hundred cash in copper coins. With the current price of grain, we can't buy a few catties of rice."

"Didn't you say that the price of food for the princess is low?"

"Change the note first, we may not be able to grab the rest of the food, there are so many rich people in the city."

Wei's father and Wei's mother looked at each other and agreed with their son's decision, not to mention Wei's wife.

In the palace, Mu Yangling looked through the ledger, sighed, and said: "Miao Village is full of tiaozi, and there is no one who asks for money. The Han people are just the opposite. The elders persuaded them repeatedly and took the lead in changing the tiaozi, but in the end they didn't know what to do. Only one-third are willing to take a note."

Qi Haoran frowned, "The chief of the Miao Village has such a strong appeal?" This is a threat to the country and the army.

What Mu Yangling is concerned about is, "The credibility of the Yamen is too weak, Haoran, we should find a way to improve the credibility of the court, and we must do what we promise to the people. Only in this way, the people will have a sense of belonging to Daqi."

"What is credibility?"

"It is the power of people's trust. The credibility of the imperial court refers to the people's trust in the imperial court. This time we let the Yamen come forward, and even let the elders with high morals take the lead. Only one-third of the people are willing to choose to trust us. It can be seen that this No matter how bad the credibility is, it does not rule out whether there is coercion or coercion."

Qi Haoran knew how important this thing was after Mu Yangling explained it. He looked at Mu Yangling with piercing eyes and asked, "How can this thing be improved?"

"It can only be done step by step. First of all, the promises made by the imperial court must be fulfilled, and we must try our best to help the people get rid of poverty and become rich. People are born with flesh and blood. As long as the imperial court is honest and puts the people first, as time goes by, the people will treat the court with respect. The trust in the country will increase, and once the country is in trouble, they will not give up the country easily," Mu Yangling said softly: "And give up the royal family Qi."

There was light in Qi Haoran's eyes, "I'll write a secret booklet to my eldest brother, and ask him to eat more cured pork and dried prickly pears..."

This was just a joke, Qi Haoran seriously wrote a letter of proposal to Qi Xiuyuan about the credibility of the imperial court.

Qi Xiuyuan put away the sealed letter by himself, and no one showed it to anyone. He knew what his younger brother meant, not only the court's credibility must be improved, but the royal family's credibility must also be improved.

The common people must not only have a sense of belonging to Daqi, but also have a sense of belonging and trust in Daqi's royal family, the Qi family, because only in this way can the Qi family survive even if the country changes.

This cannot be achieved overnight, and requires the unremitting efforts of several generations.

Qi Xiuyuan put away the sealed seal alone, intending to pass it on to future generations.

And right now, there is one thing to improve the credibility of the royal family. After Qi Xiuyuan hugged Xiaobao, he said to the queen: "This time Qiannan entered the palace a lot of 'local specialties', so I told the imperial study room that dinner will be served in the evening." Use the ingredients sent by Qiannan."

Li Jinghua was stunned when she thought of what was written on the gift list just now, and said, "Eat those things?"

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Try something new, Haoran said he has eaten it all, and the taste is not bad." He hugged Xiaobao and smiled: "Xiaobao, let's try what Xiaoxiong eats in Qiannan tonight, okay?"

Xiaobao nodded repeatedly.

As a result, the courtiers had just received the tribute team escorted from Qiannan to Beijing, and before they found out what the tribute was, it was reported that the emperor ate the "tribute" at night and gave him a "great praise".

All the ministers knew that the emperor was very satisfied with this tribute, because all fools knew that the emperor must have released the news on his own initiative.

It's a joke, the emperor has been on the throne for half a year, there are few people in the harem, and the queen manages the harem like an iron bucket, and no news has leaked out. How did the news of the tribute entering the capital spread so quickly this time?

The news came out just after the emperor finished his dinner, and he wanted to know whose handwriting it was.

Moreover, the news was half hidden and half hidden. It only said that the emperor liked the "tribute" sent by Qiannan, but he didn't know what the tribute was. He only knew that it was food. But what precious food does Qiannan have?

Is it another "Lipu taro"?

It's just that the emperor spoils King Rong so much, for fear that they will impeach King Rong tomorrow, hum, they won't do such thankless things, although they don't agree with King Rong's way of paying tribute at this time , A waste of time and money, but they don't need to sing against the emperor over such a trivial matter.

There is really no need for the emperor to express his attitude by eating the tribute in a hurry.

But this idea only lasted until the next day's court meeting, when Qiannan's gift list was officially announced at the court meeting, and the officials were stunned. When did the tribute become so cheap?

Before anyone could question and prosecute Qi Haoran for the crime of deceiving the emperor, Yan Du came out and said, "It's a great honor for the emperor, and the people of Da Qi. Although the king of Rongjun paid tribute, he didn't waste the people and money. It's my Da Qi." Fortunately."

While weeping bitterly, he began to mention the sufferings of the people in Lipu for planting taro as a tribute, and the price paid by the people of Fuzhou for picking pearls. He cried until he was so excited that he even knelt down in the tunnel and said: "During the previous dynasty, my father once advised Emperor Jingyan, the people are suffering, we should abolish these tributes, and benefit the people..."
