Chu Tianxiu took Zuer and hurried back to Yuyuan in the Pingwang Mansion.

Along the way, Zuer saw that his son-in-law looked solemn and wanted to stop talking, but she didn't dare to ask too much.

Yu Yuan.

Li Yu was practicing swordsmanship in the snow in the courtyard.

She was wearing a snow-white tight-fitting dress, delicate and graceful, with a concave and convex outline. A sword in her hand shone everywhere and waved her freely.

A ball of cold sword light was flying among the snowflakes, and it was slight and stormy. The wind broke through the sky, and the terrifying brilliance was swift.

Di'er is working as a sparring training for Li Yu.

Chu Tianxiu saw two beautiful figures flying in the snow and was stunned for a moment.

"Husband is back!"

When Li Yu saw Chu Tianxiu coming back, he immediately withdrew his sword, and a little sweat on his cheeks, and smiled and said, "Yu'er will change his clothes first."

"Well, I have something to discuss with my wife."

Chu Tianxiu nodded, returned to the study, and paced back and forth.

He was worried and wondered how to explain this to Li Yu.

Could it be that he said directly, "Madam, for his husband, this little marquis, "instructing the country and inspiring words" in the Golden Palace, and accidentally lost your copper mountain?"

His wise and powerful handsome face was quite uneasy!

After a moment, Li Yu changed into a snow fox fur coat and came to the study to find him.

When she saw Chu Tianxiu's worried face, she knew that something must have happened to the palace examination.

However, it actually doesn't matter much.

Anyway, Chu Tianxiu is a little marquis, and the Prince Ping’s Mansion has a great family and a wealthy family. She, the princess, has a fiefdom and a bronze mountain, has a good income, so she doesn’t have to worry about anything.

As long as Chu Tianxiu did not interact with his friends in Jinling City, and was not idle in the Pingwang Mansion, he went to tinker with his papermaking workshop in his spare time, and he would have embarked on a right path.

As for the husband being an official, etc., if there is it or not, it will be the same as the New Year.

"Husband, this is your first palace examination experience, so you are inevitably nervous. It is reasonable to perform abnormally. Anyway, there will be annual results every year, so I will make plans for the next year!"

Li Yu immediately smiled and comforted him.

"My wife...being a husband is not performing abnormally, but acting too vigorously!"

Chu Tianxiu smiled bitterly and said, "During my palace examination, I saw that the countermeasures of the students next to me were very good.

I thought about it, but they could not compare themselves to it. I was itchy for a moment and wrote a "Plan forbidden to cast copper coins for private castings", asking the emperor to take over all the copper mountains in the world and strictly prohibit private casting of copper coins."

""Privately casting copper coins"? Husband... This is a hornet's nest, causing big trouble!"

When Li Yu heard this, his expression changed.

"I didn't know before I was a husband, and my wife also had a bronze mountain. If I knew, I would definitely not write this countermeasure."

Chu Tianxiu said helplessly.

Li Yu was stunned for a long time and said, "Yu'er's mere copper mountain is nothing.

However, the imperial court only accounts for 30% of the Tongshan Mountain in the world. The remaining 60% to 70% are in the hands of the fiefs of the major princes, princes, princesses, ministers, and major families.

Since Taizu opened the dynasty to enfeoff the princes, he allowed all the princes and clans to collect and dig on their own fiefs, and allowed the casting of copper coins.

In the Great Chu, there are bronze mountains in their fiefs, and a few of them have hundreds of families, all of which are royal relatives, relatives and important officials. Once the "Prevention of Privately Forged Coins" is implemented, at least hundreds of families will be offended."

She couldn't imagine what the attitudes would be like among the hundreds of royal relatives.

Chu Tianxiu was shocked and covered her face.

I feel like I have fired a map cannon and exploded all the powerful people in the court!

No wonder, after seeing his countermeasures, the emperor had such a strange attitude that he did not commend him, but instead threw him out of the Golden Palace.

The imperial court can reclaim the Tongshan Mountain in the world, which can greatly enrich the national treasury, and it is no problem to double it. But this will allow the princes and the powerful families to cut off their flesh!

Those who come up with this strategy will definitely hate the princes in the world.

They can't do anything to the emperor, but they will definitely find a way to deal with him, the little Hunhou.

It seems that I have to hide in the Pingwang Mansion honestly during this period and can't go out.

Listen to the sound of the wind and see if there is any movement outside.

Li Yu thought about it carefully and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. Even if the emperor knows that the benefits of banning privately casting copper coins are huge, it will not be implemented hastily. The ministers of the court will inevitably have many opponents.

Now the Great Chu has been recuperating for more than ten years, the court is prosperous, and the warehouse is full of money and grain. The emperor will not use it easily, and this kind of strategy that has attracted too much opposition.

Unless one day the court is short of money...”

Chu Tianxiu thought for a long time.

The court is not short of money now.

However, the "Strategy for Reducing the Vandals" written by Chao Fangzheng is a national policy that requires the use of the army.

Emperor Xiang Yanran may not be tempted by the reduction of the vassal states. Once the court fought, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses and food were supplied, and the money was burned like flowing water, and there would definitely be a shortage of money... Of course, I would think of "The ban on private casting of copper coins".

Chu Tianxiu was very uneasy and said, "I don't know what the emperor is thinking.

No matter what, I will dig it first.

Yu'er, please send someone to dig out more copper, it is best to dig it in a year or two. When the emperor is short of money one day, he will give an order to seal the copper mountain when he thinks of this move. It will be too late to dig again."

Li Yu nodded, "Okay! There are only dozens of miners digging this copper mine on weekdays to prevent the copper mine from being dug out quickly.

Although most of the kings and clans have copper mountains in their families, they dig slowly little by little so that future generations can enjoy the shade.

It’s winter now. The farmers in Danyang County don’t farm and go up the mountain to harvest firewood and earn some change. I asked the three thousand farmers under my fief to go to Tongshan to mine."

“So great!”

Chu Tianxiu nodded.

Li Yu immediately ordered Di'er to go to Danyang County.

Danyang County is not far from Jinling City, and it is about 100 miles away, and it can be reached in one day by horse riding. A large number of farmers in the fiefdom of Danyang County are hired to go to the copper mine in Ma'anshan.

Dig quickly and minimize losses.

...

After Chu Tianxiu finished doing this, he rested in Yuyuan and waited for Xiaohan's results to be released for four days.

Once the imperial court releases the results, it is possible to guess what the emperor is thinking.

He felt a little guilty.

If they did this thing that would make the powerful people in the court go crazy, if they knew about it, would they be assassinated when they went out?

Forget it, just stay in Yuyuan, which is the safest.

The warm stove was burning with refined charcoal, and the study was as warm as summer. Chu Tianxiu was lying on a long lounge chair, eating cold watermelons, and looking at the snow scene in the Yuyuan courtyard, which was quite free.

After feeding the last petal of watermelon, Zuer said with some worries: "Son-in-law, this is the last one!" All the fruits and fruits of the whole winter were eaten up by his son-in-law.

"It's gone so soon? A lot of fruits and vegetables are planted in the warm room of the royal palace?"

Chu Tianxiu was stunned.

He only ate two or three watermelons in total.

"The warm room in the royal palace is not big. Most of them are vegetables, with only a small amount of fruits and vegetables. There is only one watermelon vine, three of which are eaten by you."

Joo shook her head and said.

Before she could taste it much, she ate a small piece.

There are only three melons in a greenhouse.

Chu Tianxiu was a little stunned. Could it be that he had no fruit to eat in winter?

He immediately took Zuer to see the warm room of Prince Ping's Mansion.

Greenhouses actually existed very early.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a palace where "Taiguan Garden grows onions in winter and leeks are fed, covered with veranda, ignite fire day and night, and wait for warm air to grow."

This is a good thing that the emperor can enjoy.

Of course, there is also a warm room in the Pingwang Mansion, which specializes in growing fruits and vegetables in winter.

Zuer took Chu Tianxiu to the "warm room".

Only then did he see that the warm room was indeed very small. It was about half an acre, with walls on all sides, sheds blocking snow, and opened when the sun came out.

The heating room is next to the kitchen in the royal palace, and uses the residual heat of the stove to heat up the heating room.

In such a small warm room, most of them grow vegetables and a small amount of fruits and melons. They can only barely supply them to the prince, second wife, princess and son-in-law to eat.

The kitchen manager saw that his son-in-law came, and quickly bowed and bowed.

"This warm room is too small, it has to be expanded by a few acres! Otherwise, wouldn't there be no fresh fruits and vegetables in winter?!"
