Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 655: Provocation Successful, Affected

"I understand! Chang Ru described the profits obtained by the royal company as filling the national treasury, taking from the people and using it for the people. Marquis Wuyang will definitely not sit idly by. As long as Marquis Wuyang brings up this matter, the empress dowager will definitely express an attitude. If she blindly protects the empress dowager, it will inevitably make the ministers in the court dissatisfied. In this way, the emperor will benefit without any effort. If the profits of the royal company are not in the hands of the empress dowager, they will definitely be in the national treasury. This result is also beneficial to the emperor." Dong Ling suddenly realized.

Ji Chuhe smiled and nodded, "That's a very accurate analysis."

"From this, it can be seen that Chang Ru is really not simple." Dong Ling felt that Chang Ru was the second smartest person she had ever met.

My wife always comes first.

"Madam, I am still a little worried. If the emperor really seizes power with the help of Chang Ru, the result will be very unfavorable to us."

"There is an old saying that when two tigers fight, one will be injured, but how can the other one be any better?" Ji Chuhe was not worried at all, everything was still under her control.

……

The arrest of Liao Yunfei angered the Empress Dowager, who did not sit still and wait for death. She immediately went to see the Empress Dowager.

He wanted to get an order to control the caravans that supplied goods to Ji Chuhe.

This was the best solution she came up with after careful consideration.

But the Empress Dowager's mood is different now. She may not obey him in everything.

"Can you give in on this matter? It's just one Liao Yunfei. As long as you are willing, you can have ten or a hundred people like Liao Yunfei serving you." After hearing the advice of the Grand Empress Dowager, her first reaction was to persuade the Grand Empress Dowager.

"Mother, there has always been hatred between Ji Chuhe and I. I didn't bother with her because of you, but she really went too far! She used the profits of the Royal Company to please me on the surface, just to make outsiders think that I forced her to hand it over! Her behavior is to have the best of both worlds! To gain both fame and profit! All the bad reputation has to be borne by me!"

"She is forcing me like this now. If I don't teach her a lesson, how can I survive in the capital? Even if those people don't say anything to my face, they will laugh at me behind my back."

"Mother, Ji Chuhe treated me like this, which is equivalent to not taking you seriously."

"What do you want?" the Empress Dowager asked helplessly.

"I want to increase the taxes on the caravans entering the imperial capital. They bring in a batch of goods, sell them out and leave without paying any taxes. This is so unfair to the honest merchants in the imperial capital." Tai*** said quickly, striking while the iron was hot.

"Your idea is feasible." The Queen Mother considered it carefully. If she used this excuse to deal with Ji Chuhe, it would also be able to shut other people up.

"Mother, don't worry. I know your status is different now. In the past, you were restricted in the harem. Now, you are in charge of the government. How could I hold you back?" The Empress Dowager took the opportunity to say a few words to soften her attitude.

"It's good that you understand this. Although the Queen Mother controls the government, those officials are not easy to deal with. As long as the Queen Mother does not do well, they will not let her go in the court."

"I understand all of this, so I am very sensible."

"Okay, you go and arrange it. Apart from this, you are not allowed to use any other means to deal with Ji Chuhe. Ji Chuhe is not easy to deal with. You must be careful and cautious. Don't get yourself involved before you deal with Ji Chuhe." The empress dowager advised earnestly.

The things going on in the court are already worrying her enough, and she simply can't spare the time to help the Empress Dowager.

"Mother, every failure is a learning experience. How could I possibly make the same mistake again?"

Since the Grand Empress Dowager said so, the Grand Empress Dowager didn't say anything more.

The queen was tacitly agreed and felt comfortable.

As long as she raised the taxes on those caravans, considering the costs, those caravans might not choose to enter the imperial capital. Even if Princess Huaiyang wanted to help Ji Chuhe, those caravans of Princess Huaiyang alone would not be enough to support the flow of goods in Ji Chuhe's shop.

In the past, the reason why no taxes were collected from merchants was mainly because merchants would have to travel long distances and would incur great losses on the road. If they were to be charged additional taxes when they arrived in a city, there would definitely be no profit at all.

It is for this reason that no taxes are collected from the caravans, and once the goods they bring are traded they can take the money and leave.

The additional taxes and fees proposed by the prime minister will definitely cause an uproar.

This is what she wants.

This change will definitely have a huge impact on Ji Chuhe's shop.

She wanted to cut off Ji Chuhe's source of income.

In the future, the most profitable business can only be the Royal Business!

However, before the Emperor could work out a specific plan to increase taxes on merchant caravans, a quarrel had already broken out in the court over the ownership of the profits of the royal trading companies.

"Grand Empress Dowager, I think that since the Crown Prince's wife is willing to give all the profits of the royal business to you, then she will have absolutely no objection to all the profits of the royal business being added to the national treasury." Marquis Wuyang said again.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately stood up to agree, "What Marquis Wuyang said makes a lot of sense. The national treasury is empty now. If the profits of the Royal Company can enter the national treasury, it will be a great blessing for Daxia!"

"I also strongly agree with this."

"I second the proposal."

The Grand Empress Dowager did not expect that the voices in the court would be so unanimous this time.

They all agreed to deposit the profits of the royal firms into the national treasury.

The emperor looked around at everyone and turned to look at the empress dowager.

If he didn't make his attitude clear at this time, Chang Ru's efforts would be in vain.

"Grand Empress Dowager, I also think that what you said makes a lot of sense. The Empress Dowager has been honored endlessly, and she should consider the national conditions of Daxia and the people of Daxia."

The Empress Dowager clenched her fists in anger.

Do you dare to challenge her openly?

Want to seize power?

When the emperor said this, all the ministers in the court received a message.

The emperor is not a puppet without any opinion of his own!

He also had his own ideas and dared to defy the Queen Mother.

Only an emperor like this can give people hope.

I am also willing to place all my hopes on him.

"Mother, state affairs cannot be trifled with. I know you feel bad for your mother, but you must also consider the overall situation."

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor in shock.
