Chapter 439: Emperor Yongchang's money-saving strategy


Qin Rao glanced at the uncle who was still talking.I guessed how Emperor Yongchang was able to control the economy of Dayu back then.This is by selling Grandma Zhang's salted duck eggs and Liuliuju's pickled cucumbers to foreign people!

And the fire in the Rui family, why is it so coincidental?

It is very likely that this Rui family is the person of Emperor Yongchang.Why did the first emperor send people to the Rui family to collect grain, and the Rui family suddenly broke out in a fire?

I heard that the fire still fell from the sky, and caused the blackbird to entrench for many days, and did not leave for a long time, and finally the evil fire did not cease for four months.At that time, many people said that it was the Rui family who did something that hurt the heavens and peace, and the head of the Rui family was so angry.For three years, the door of the Rui family was closed.But once Emperor Yongchang ascended the throne, no, it was not enthroned.A year before the death of the first emperor, his health was already very poor and he could not preside over the government.Emperor Yongchang's biological mother, Empress Dowager Wen, that is, the grandmother of the first emperor, advocated supporting her youngest son.Empress Dowager Wen had four sons and one daughter in her life, and after the eldest son inherited the throne, she naturally became the queen mother.But the eldest son had a fateful life, and he died after only three years on the throne, and he had no other heirs except for his daughter Su Jian.At that time, half of the courtiers proposed that Su Jian succeed to the throne as Empress Dayu.But Empress Dowager Wen disagreed, and supported her third son, brother and brother.The courtiers objected.Since it is the elder brother and the younger brother, why is it not the second son who inherits, but the third son?

Empress Dowager Wen's second son is Emperor Yongchang.At that time, the reason she gave was that she was virtuous and unfilial.Emperor Yongchang not only failed to get the opportunity to inherit the throne, but was also sent to a remote place.Later, Su Jian said: "It's okay if I don't inherit my father's position, but I want a fief, which can not be very rich, but everything in this fief must be decided by me alone, whether it is taxes or appointments." ”At that time, the DPRK and China were divided into two factions, and Su Jian's voice was still very high, and he had an elite team in his hands.Empress Dowager Wen didn't dare to go head-to-head with her, so she agreed after weighing it.Originally, I thought that I could slowly figure it out in the future and take back the rights given.As a result, after the third son succeeded to the throne, it didn't take a few years for him to cool down.Dayu once again fell into a storm of contention.As for the third son, there are three sons, two of whom are born and one is born.It's just that because the third son went suddenly, he didn't have time to establish the crown prince, and the two sons-in-law fought for who would succeed to the throne.In the end, he was succeeded by his concubine.Empress Dowager Wen has always disliked concubines, and she has always treated this concubine harshly, and the two are on the same page, and no one is willing to let go of power.Empress Dowager Wen has been in control of the government for many years, from her husband, to his two sons, and now her grandson......

In the end, the little emperor who came out of the concubine was forced to pour a bowl of medicine by the Empress Dowager Wen, and he collapsed after a few days.Empress Dowager Wen quickly took her grandson back to support the succession.It's a pity that this grandson, although he saved his life in the battle for the throne, his health was not good, and then he died all the way, extravagant, and it didn't take long for him to be like his father, cold.Empress Dowager Wen instead supported her youngest son.However, the highest voice among the courtiers was Emperor Yongchang, the second son who had been ignored by skipping.In the years when Empress Dowager Wen played with power and was trapped in the turmoil of changing the dynasty, Su Jian had successfully made her fiefdom bigger and stronger, and became the richest place in the entire Dayu.This place is Jiangdong and Jiangbei.And Emperor Yongchang is the one who has been helping Su Jian actually take care of the fiefdom.Su Jian has no intention of being the emperor.But she has always felt that what belongs to her should be hers.Even if she doesn't want to, it should be her own initiative to give up, not that the other party thinks she doesn't want it and won't give it to her.So she chose to support Emperor Yongchang.Within the scope of her rights, she gave Emperor Yongchang the greatest rights to let him develop.Emperor Yongchang is also very hard-working, he has developed obscenely over the years, and has mastered half of Dayu's economy, and the elite team in Su Jian's hands has also expanded four or five times over the years.As for the Empress Dowager Wen, over the years, Dayu has frequently changed emperors, and every time he changes, he has to make extravagant and wasteful, which makes the already very empty treasury even more empty, and even in debt.Of course, these debts were all lent to Dayu by Emperor Yongchang in private, in the name of other people, even foreigners, or to Empress Dowager Wen.Half a year before the death of the first emperor, the struggle for the throne entered a white heat.At that time, in addition to the youngest son supported by the Empress Dowager Wen, Emperor Yongchang and Emperor Yongchang also had a third-party force led by Princess Jin Yang.In the past half a year, Empress Dowager Wen has been frequently courting Princess Jin Yang, but she didn't expect that Princess Jin Yang has always been on the side of Emperor Yongchang.Including when Princess Jin Yang entered the imperial court and gradually grasped most of the forces in the court, she was instructed by Emperor Yongchang.Over the years, Empress Dowager Wen has not reassured Emperor Yongchang, the second son, and has been monitored by people.Knowing that he spent all day long, in addition to releasing ducks, running boats, and selling salted duck eggs in the streets and alleys, he looked down on Emperor Yongchang more and more, although he did not relax his vigilance because of this, but he also did not regard him as a thing more and more.Even those old ministers were able to suddenly think of Emperor Yongchang, because they felt that the woman Empress Dowager Wen was poisonous, but as long as she supported, none of them were good.They didn't want to be so unstable anymore.In the long run, it will not only hurt its vitality, but also attract foreigners to covet their piece of fat.Therefore, they thought of Emperor Yongchang.I think that no matter what, we must let the emperor of Dayu reign for a few more years, at least during his reign, to be able to support a crown prince.And Emperor Yongchang, who happens to meet this condition in all aspects.He is the oldest, and he is the longest-living of the four sons of the Empress Dowager Wen.He has sons, and there is more than one, any of them can be raised.He has experience, and over the years, he has been working under Su Jian, although every day it seems that he has always been selling salted duck eggs in the streets and alleys.But every time it comes to the year-end assessment, the fiefdom under Su Jian's name is the fastest and best in economic development, and even throws them away several streets.Even Empress Dowager Wen finally chose the Huairou policy, saying that she wanted to make up for the lack of maternal love of Emperor Yongchang over the years, but in fact she just wanted him to be a cow and a horse for her youngest son.Emperor Yongchang didn't resist at that time, he looked obedient and grateful.Who would have thought that at the last moment, what really gave Empress Dowager Wen a fatal blow was this person who seemed harmless to humans and animals, was very arrogant, didn't take anything to heart, and was ignored.As soon as the first emperor died, the Empress Dowager Wen just wanted to forcibly support her youngest son to succeed to the throne, and those debtors, under the instruction of Emperor Yongchang, collectively asked Dayu and Empress Dowager Wen for debts.At that time, the courtiers were so angry that they directly picked their sons, and several clans also directly said that whoever pays back the money will succeed to the throne!

Anyway, they don't dare to succeed in this position.With so much debt, it's not good to sell Dayu!
