MTL - I Became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating-Chapter 277 What a lot!

  Chapter 277 What a lot!

  Although Mr. Ji spoke in a calm tone when he said this, Ji Zhao could still hear the cold air hidden inside.

"The woman thinks what the adults say is reasonable," Ji Zhao smiled slightly, and continued, "Although the high place is extremely cold, the Sun family is still in the high place now! If Fengyuelou insists on opening opposite Hongxing Restaurant, my lord may It's also helpless, right?"

  Ji Tingan couldn't help but look at her more, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"The woman is not talented. After hearing the news by accident, I feel a little dissatisfied. After all, the Spring Breeze Restaurant opened by the woman is next to Hongxing Restaurant. If Fengyue Restaurant is really successfully opened directly opposite Hongxing Restaurant , it will be harmful to the folk woman's Spring Breeze Restaurant, so the folk woman has a suggestion, do you want your lord to listen to it?"

   "Speak up!"

"Our Dingyuan County has a special geographical location, and it is also the transition zone between Yunchuan Prefecture and Guichuan Prefecture. There is an endless stream of merchants coming and going. Therefore, Dingyuan County pays a lot of taxes to the imperial court every year. It is just that there is more money. It’s inevitable that there will be some corrupt officials, and I think your lord doesn’t know about it. When the previous lord Ma moved, he secretly transported six large boxes. As for what’s in the boxes, I believe you know well, right?”

   "What exactly are you trying to say?"

   "Do you want to make some political achievements in Dingyuan County, sir? Not only is it beneficial to taxation, but also for the well-being of the people." Ji Zhao raised his head and looked at Ji Tingan, who had complicated eyes, with a shallow smile.

   "All ears."

"The women are stupid, but I also heard my husband accidentally mention that the reason why the court collects taxes is to fill the national treasury in case of emergencies; secondly, it is to take from the people and use them for the people. The world will be peaceful." Ji Zhao continued, "Since you came to Dingyuan County, my lord, you have suppressed the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion forcefully. It can be said that it is a thunderous attack, but sometimes the harder you suppress, the more fierce the rebound. But the women feel that it is better to be sparse? Although you hate places like Fireworks and Willow Lane, you have to admit that the taxes paid by these Qinlou and Chu Pavilions are only a lot more every year."

   "The two favorite places for the wealthy merchants and gentry traveling between the north and the south are restaurants and brothels. It is precisely because of this that the taxes paid in these two places are not a few."

   "You mean, this official shouldn't punish these Qinlou and Chuguan?"

"No," Ji Zhao shook his head, "The Ci'an Hall in Dingyuan County has been in disrepair for a long time. Those lonely old people and homeless children living in Ci'an Hall only have two meals a day, and sometimes they can't eat enough; once they arrive On cloudy and rainy days, the roof will leak; last year in the twelfth lunar month, several elderly people who were not in good health froze to death..."

   "The women just think that the adults can find an excuse to increase the tax of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and then put the money where it should be used. For example, repairing the Ci'an Hall; or building aqueducts to do something that is beneficial to the people."

  Ji Tingan understood her plan, and was amazed in his eyes.

  He didn't expect Ji Zhao, a female class, to think of such a way to have the best of both worlds.

  As the old man said, Dingyuan County is his blessed land!

  Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is indeed here.

   "I will seriously consider your suggestion." After thinking for a while, Ji Tingan's tone was full of admiration.

   "This is just the humble opinion of the women." Ji Zhao smiled lightly, Shi Shiran saluted, and then walked out of the county government office holding Shen Yao's hand.

  In the blue sky, white clouds are rolling and floating with the wind.

  The air is filled with a faint scent of hibiscus, which is refreshing.

  Shen Yao looked at Ji Zhao who was eating candied haws beside him, his eyes were full of surprise.

   "Do you want to try it?" Ji Zhao smiled and handed the bunch of candied haws to his lips, "It's very sweet!"

  Shen Yao took a bite, not only raising his eyebrows.

  It is indeed very sweet.

  The two walked across the Three-Arch Bridge hand in hand, and arrived at the famous Biyuxuan.

  The glazed counter displayed in the hall on the first floor neatly and orderly placed all kinds of silver jewelry, dazzling and dizzying; before Ji Zhao had time to appreciate it, Shen Yao took him to the second floor.

  The first floor of Biyuxuan is silver ornaments; the second floor is gold ornaments and heads of various styles; the third floor is various emeralds.

  Shen Yao fell in love with a golden phoenix hairpin at a glance.

   "Get this one out."

"Guest officer has good eyesight!" The shopkeeper quickly praised, "This phoenix seeking phoenix is ​​the latest style in our store. You may wish to take a closer look. The phoenix on this nobile is flying with wings, lifelike; the tasseled pearl falling below , even more plump and round!"

  Shen Yao nodded slightly, and then carefully inserted the golden phoenix hairpin into Ji Zhao's temple.

   "Does it look good?" Ji Zhao suddenly looked sideways at him and smiled brightly.

"nice."

  Her smile was bright and bright, and easily touched Shen Yao's heartstrings.

  Ji Zhao naturally didn't miss the astonishment in Shen Yao's eyes, she turned her face away shyly, and said to the shopkeeper with a smile, "I don't know if the shopkeeper can get a bronze mirror?"

   "Madam, wait a moment!"

  The moment she laughed just now, even the shopkeeper was shaken.

  In addition to this golden phoenix hairpin, Shen Yao chose another set of beautiful ruby ​​hairpins for Ji Zhao.

   "It's almost there?" Ji Zhao hastily tugged on Shen Yao's sleeve, trying to end his crazy shopping mode.

   "Don't worry, A Tao, I have enough money when I go out." Shen Yao rubbed her face with a smile, and chose a beautiful pearl bracelet for her.

  A Tao's complexion is fair, and she often cooks, so wearing gold is not as convenient as wearing pearls.

   What's more, pearls are rare nowadays, and their price is almost the same as that of gold.

  Ji Zhao didn't expect Shen Yao to be so generous when buying jewelry.

   "A Tao, I really want to marry you as my wife, so these dowry gifts are all due courtesy."

  Finally, Shen Yao chose another set of drop-shaped coral earrings for her, and then he gave up.

   "Okay, shall we go back?"

  Ji Zhao felt a little headache when he saw Shen Yao walking in front of him with big and small bags.

  She deeply doubts that if the financial strength is sufficient, Shen Yao will definitely round up this Biyuxuan!

  When she returned to Shen's compound, Zhao Lanhua glanced at the jewelry that Shen Yao bought for Ji Zhao, and couldn't help frowning.

   Looking at her expression, Ji Zhao's heart sank.

   Shen Yao must have bought too much, mother is a little unhappy?

   "Mother, I actually think Shen Yao bought a little too much..."

"What's too much?" Zhao Lanhua took her hand and said earnestly, "A Tao, I'll have to criticize the third one later, these are too few! Also, why don't these three gold Didn’t buy all of them? Why did you buy all the pearls?”

   "Mother, Shen Yao chose so many pearls because I like pearls." Ji Zhao quickly explained, "And these are enough! I am already very happy!"
