Chang’an Peasant Girl

   Chapter 440 They have the capacity to tolerate people

  Quiet tells the truth: "I don't know how to make paper, but I know what raw materials can make white paper."

  Xiao Changyi said: "That's enough." Many people in Xiyun State know the process of making paper, but they are struggling to know what kind of material can make white paper, and they have been exploring.

Jing Jing said: "In my original world, there was a kind of paper called rice paper. It has the reputation of 'the king of paper and the millennium paper'. Grandpa used that kind of paper for me to practice calligraphy at the beginning, and the raw materials of this rice paper are only green sandalwood bark and straw. If the royal father asked people to use these two materials to make white paper, it would definitely be very profitable. Money is used to fill the national treasury, and it is made with money from the national treasury, so there is no need to take the road of increasing taxes, forcing merchants and farmers to live hard."

  Xiao Changyi nodded and said: "If you really make a blank paper, you really don't need to take the road of increasing taxes."

   After a pause, he said again: "The old man and Chengyu are bothering about this, you see when you will tell them this method and let them try to make it up."

  Quietly said: "Go ahead, I'm a woman, they definitely don't like me interfering in any state affairs." The harem has clearly stipulated that she can't do politics, and naturally she can't.

  Xiao Changyi insisted: "You say."

  Quiet frowned: "Aren't you afraid they won't like me?"

  Xiao Changyi said: "They have the capacity to tolerate people. If there is a method that is beneficial to the people's livelihood, they will not care if you are a man or a woman."

  Quiet raised his eyebrows and joked, "It's rare that you rate them so highly."

   Xiao Changyi was silent.

Quiet stopped joking, got up from his lap, and then pulled him up: "Let's go, let's go tell them, save them trouble, the day after tomorrow is the birthday of the emperor, but we can't Let him be so troubled by state affairs."

  Emperor Xiyun really loves her husband. As a adoptive father, Emperor Xiyun is quite competent, so she will naturally treat Emperor Xiyun as her own father.

   Imperial study.

  Emperor Xiyun and Su Chengyu were still in the imperial study room, and their faces were full of sorrow. If the treasury was not empty, they would never have taken the road of increasing taxes.

  Su Chengyu saw Jing Jing and Xiao Changyi coming, greeted him politely, called Xiao Changyi and Jing Jing the emperor's brother and sister-in-law, but his tone was a little slack, and it was obvious that he was very depressed.

   It was rare that Emperor Xiyun didn't smile at Xiao Changyi, he just sat on the dragon chair, frowned, and stared at the memorabilia asking for tax increases on the table.

  Xiao Changyi led An Jing to the front of Emperor Xiyun, and said with a blank face: "Old man, my daughter-in-law has thought of a way to solve the deficit of the national treasury."

  Emperor Xiyun didn't even look at Xiao Changyi, and said feebly, "What can she do as a woman? It's okay, Y'er, I'm annoying now, you all let me be quiet for a while."

   Upon hearing what Emperor Xiyun said, Xiao Changyi pulled An Jing and left.

   It was Su Chengyu who quickly grabbed Xiao Changyi, not allowing Xiao Changyi to take Jing Jing away.

I saw Su Chengyu dragging Xiao Changyi, who wanted to leave, without any image, and hurriedly said to Emperor Xiyun, who was still sitting at the desk: "Father, have you forgotten about Gulong and the terraced fields? This is all thanks to the Queen's Wife. Since Brother Yi said that the Queen's Wife has a way, then the Queen's Wife must have really thought of a better way than raising taxes. The father and the emperor should not underestimate the Queen's Wife and miss a good remedy."
