Chapter 152 Qingzhou Prefecture is in an uproar
Late at night, perhaps because the worries in her heart were completely relieved, Qin Chuchu slept soundly.
Han Muchen gently stroked her porcelain-white face, his eyes full of heartache. He had pushed her too hard these days and she had lost a lot of weight.
But he really had no choice. He could not ignore the lives of those 100,000 soldiers, not to mention that they had 100,000 families behind them. He had to plot against a woman against his will.
And there is also his mother. If he falls, given the Queen's temper, she will never let her go.
Therefore, whether for the sake of those soldiers or his mother, he had to survive. Not only that, he also had to make a complete turnaround, so that the soldiers who followed him could live a good life and let his mother, who was guarding the palace every day and worried about him, feel at ease.
It's just that this woman has been wronged, and all he can do is to protect her for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, he leaned over and took a sip of Qin Chuchu's lips.
As if she had tasted the sweetness, Qin Chuchu frowned slightly, turned sideways, and hooked her arms around the man's neck.
Like a kitten, she rubbed against the man's chest, and seemed to find it very comfortable.
“…………”Han Muchen curled the corners of his lips.
He kissed the top of her head again, a look of satisfaction on his face.
His stupid woman is a little stupid, but he just likes her very much.
The next morning, when Qin Chuchu opened her eyes, there was no one around her.
Without asking, she knew that the living devil must be waiting for her to eat in the front hall. After washing up, she came to the front hall, and as she expected, the man was already sitting there.
"Good morning, Your Highness!" She climbed onto the chaise longue with her butt sticking out.
Seeing the woman so happy, the man felt happy in his heart even though he still had that dull face.
He handed the porridge over, and Qin Chuchu took it and slurped it.
"Mmm, this porridge is delicious!"
I don’t know what’s in today’s rice porridge, but it tastes much better than usual.
“…………”Aunt Liu didn’t say anything.
She just smiled at Qin Chuchu. The porridge was the same as every day, it was just that the princess was in a good mood.
Qin Chuchu was indeed in a good mood. While drinking, she remembered something important.
"By the way, Your Majesty, when you distribute silver to the people, please don't say it was from me."
She looked up at the man. Although Han Mulei and the others could not find any evidence that she had stolen his vault, in order to avoid trouble, she still did not want outsiders to know that the silver was given by her.
“………”Han Muchen didn’t say anything and continued to drink his porridge with his head down.
Seeing that the man didn't say anything, Qin Chuchu thought he agreed, and put on her shoes as soon as she finished her porridge.
"Your Majesty, please enjoy your meal. I'm going out for a walk!"
After saying that, she ran out. She had been tortured so much these past few days that she had no mood to play anymore.
Now that the matter is completely resolved, you must relax.
As soon as she walked out, Butler Liu came in happily.
"Your Highness, the winter clothes were brought over last night, and the soldiers are already wearing them."
As he spoke, he couldn't hide the joy on his face. The temperature dropped sharply last night, and fortunately the soldiers were all wearing cotton clothes, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Yeah." Han Muchen nodded and looked at Feng Qi again.
"Have Feng Er and the others returned?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Er and Feng San walked in from outside, feeling cool but with happy faces.
"Master, everything is done!"
Although they were both exhausted, they couldn't hide their joy.
When I think of the excitement on the people's faces when they heard the news, it's all worth it.
Han Muchen put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at the expressions of the two guys, knowing that the job was done well.
The facts were just as he thought. At this moment, a notice had been posted all over Qingzhou Prefecture.
The Sixth Princess took out the dowry silver given by her mother to subsidize the lives of the people. As long as the people lived in Qingzhou Prefecture, regardless of gender, age or young, each person could receive a subsidy of two taels of silver.
In addition, there is an even more exciting piece of news, that is, the Sixth Prince Han Muchen has exempted the people of Qingzhou Prefecture from all taxes next year.
In a short time, the news spread throughout the streets and fields, and the entire Qingzhou Prefecture was in an uproar.
When the people first heard the news, they were all in disbelief.
They all thought they had heard wrong. After all, this was a good thing that had never happened since ancient times. It was good enough that those dignitaries could charge them less money, so how could they possibly give them subsidies?
However, as more and more people discussed this matter, they gradually became unsure and went to ask Director Li Zheng of each village, only then did they find out that this was true.
Everyone was so happy that the excitement could not be described, especially those who had sick people at home. After hearing the news, they cried with joy.
Even some patients with mild symptoms were able to walk, and everyone came out of their homes and discussed this matter excitedly.
Some were even more emotional and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, muttering about the great kindness of the Sixth Prince and the Sixth Princess.
Someone took the lead, and others followed suit, kneeling down and kowtowing towards the far north.
The Sixth Prince and the Sixth Princess gave them not only money, but also gave them another life.
Two taels of silver per person, even if the population is small, each family can get more than ten taels. Even the farmers' harvest is not that much. Those who have not divided the family have at least dozens of people.
That would be dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver, something that one would never dare to dream of.
Moreover, they were exempted from taxes for the next year. When the people thought that they would not have to hand over the grain they grew to the national treasury and would not go hungry next year, they were extremely excited.
Those who had lost faith in life suddenly felt hopeful and full of energy.
The entire Qingzhou Prefecture was in a state of excitement, and everyone's face was filled with excited smiles.
There are those who are happy and those who are depressed. At this moment, in the second prince's villa, Han Mulei looked at the 100,000 taels of silver in front of him with a gloomy face, and looked at Zhou Quan in front of him with dissatisfaction.
"That's all!"
He had taken great pains to get him to Qingzhou Prefecture, but he didn't expect that he would be so useless when using it. He only got such a small amount of silver back, how could it be enough to cover his expenses of 50,000 people?
"Your Majesty, I have already increased taxes four times. I am completely helpless!"
Zhou Quan looked at Han Mulei with a bitter face. If he wasn't afraid that he would cause trouble for him, he would not be willing to take out all these.
Ever since the vault was robbed, his life has not been easy and he hasn't taken a concubine for a long time.
“…………”Han Mulei.
He pinched his swollen and painful eyebrows, with a worried look on his face. It seemed that he could not help this waste.
Just when I was feeling upset, Zhou Sheng hurriedly walked in from outside with a notice in his hand.
"Your Majesty, look!"
Han Mulei hurriedly took the notice. When he saw the content clearly, his face suddenly darkened and he threw the notice directly at Zhou Quan's face.
"What's going on?"
