Back Off, Let Me Come

"Hahaha - Wang Chao was really beaten by Shaoxuan?"

There are few stars in the moon, and the full moon hangs high.

Shen Tang, who was in the inner palace of the palace, laughed and gloated.

"Mrs. Xiahou is so cunning and narrow-minded, looking at people's misfortune?"

After all, that sharp-tongued young man is also her courtier.

"I guess when you were making things difficult for Wang Chao, he definitely told you things like 'my lord is in the palace' and 'every wrongdoer has his own debtor'?" Shen Tang smiled slightly and said confidently, " How can you say that I am cunning and narrow-minded? This is clearly true? Wangchao made his own trouble first and suffered a lot of physical pain. This time, he can stay in peace and recuperate. Shaoxuan beats Wangchao. This can only be regarded as the love between young lovers, and she doesn't care. If the righteousness destroys the relatives, how can Luohou still argue with his descendants? "

Luo San was speechless for a long time after hearing this.

"The queen has plotted against the three of us."

Gu Chi's misfortune came out of his mouth, which gave Luo San an excuse to vent her anger, and she was able to divert the misfortune to the east. By leading Gu Chi to find Bai Su, Gu Chi suffered a lot of physical pain, and at the same time, he also got He took a sick leave to rest and rest; Bai Su knew the elegant meaning of Xian Ge and took the initiative to deal with Gu Chi. Luo San watched the excitement from the side and had no reason to argue with Gu Chi for a while.

How could he still care about others at his young age?

If this matter spreads, it will damage the reputation of Chehou.

Shen Tang shook his head: "If Luohou hadn't been open-minded and willing to lift it up high and put it down gently, no calculation would work."

This is Luo San, an emotionally stable old man. If it were someone else with an unruly and conceited temperament, let alone sneaking in to eavesdrop on what was going on, they would fly directly to the palace and start kicking the door. Shen Tang thought he was telling the truth, but that was not the case in Luo San's ears: "I thought it was just that young man who was eloquent, but I never thought that the root cause was you."

Not to mention that these two monarchs and ministers can play together, they have the same chemistry, and their sweet words can really make people confused. Shen Tang praised himself so highly in just a few words, but if he continued to pursue it, it would appear that he was petty. Having said that, Lady Xiahou did make it clear several times that she had no intention of rebelliousness, but it was him who thought too much over and over again...

From this point of view, Xiahou Nvjun and I should each fight fifty times, and no one can rely on the other. After some mental activity, Luo San's remaining resentment was completely dissipated. He did not forget the other purpose of his trip, so he took out the escort items and threw them to Shen Tang: "Put it away, queen, and return it to Zhao intact. I have fulfilled my mission."

Now it was Shen Tang's turn to be surprised. She only knew that Luo San was emotionally stable, but she didn't know that he was so reasonable. The same thought as Gu Chi couldn't help but come to mind - Du Wei's power is so terrifying!

Shen Tang tentatively asked Luo San where the collapse was.

If you haven't settled down yet, it's better to stay in the palace first.

If Luo San rejects Shen Tang's proposal, it means that he still has a grudge against Shen Tang; if he agrees, it means that the matter has completely turned over. Luo San will truly accept the fact that Xia Houli is Shen Tang, the leader of Kang State, and his feelings for the two identities Can be transferred losslessly.

Luo San knew all about her temptation.

However, Chehou is reserved and his expression is implicit.

"I don't like to be owed a favor the most in my life. When repaying a debt, I only look at the IOU and not who holds the IOU." This sentence not only expressed the old man's inner dissatisfaction, but also appeased Shen Tang's worries.

Shen Tang: "..."

No matter from which point of view, Luo San is a meritorious official. He traveled all the way to deliver messages and saved Miao Ne and his party. As the leader of the country with clear rewards and punishments, Shen Tang naturally cannot be stingy, so he invited Luo San to the night market: "What does Luo Hou like?" Tell me, I'll pay."

Luo San was not a materialistic person, but Shen Tang's stinginess really opened his eyes: "It's said that Lady Xiahou is stingy. It cost ten million yuan to repair the damaged city wall of Shanyong County before, but if you want to say that you are grand, you invite me to Going to a place like this?”

What’s so good about a crappy night market?

It only costs three melons and two dates to sweep them all away.

If the old ministry hadn't really received a lot of military luck and mixed it up a little bit, Luo San would have suspected that she was doing it on purpose.

Shen Tang opened his dead fish eyes and said expressionlessly: "Marquis Luo has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. If he wants money, a bunch of old friends from the army rush to give him warmth. How can he understand the suffering of people like me? My private life For a long time, even rats were unwilling to visit. In Kang State, it is the highest honor for the king to pay from his own treasury. Most of the time, it is the ministers who pay."

Guang Wuhui and Yuan Liang were very close to him.

Luo San naturally didn't believe it.

How can there be such a poor king in this world?

That's not how it works if you sell it badly.

Shen Tang sighed quietly: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now. When you meet a man named Xun Hanzhang in the future, you will believe it."

Luo San had done some research before coming to Kang State and had a basic understanding of the civil and military officials of Kang State. He had a very good impression of Xun Zhen.

I heard that local officials in Kang State have five-year terms, one small exam every year, and one major exam every five years. The officials in the capital also have a similar system, and even the six ministers must comply with it. There were some twists and turns in the re-election of the others, but only the position of Minister of Hubu was highly anticipated. You must know that the Ministry of Hubu has always been rich in oil and water. Xun Zhen, the Minister of Hubu, could be re-elected without any controversy. His personal ability and conduct were obvious to all.

But listen to what Lady Xiahou wants...

Somewhat resentful?

Shen Tang sighed: "If you don't mention Hanzhang, it will make my heartache."

Luo San: "..."

Luo San also had a basic understanding of the situation in nearby prefectures and counties. First, there were many warlords who established separate regimes, and then they were conquered by Kangguo's troops. In the past two hundred years, less than one-tenth of the time they were able to survive. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are impoverished. The night market here can have What figure?

Unexpectedly, there were more people than expected.

There were also many kinds of goods in the night market.

"Where did all these people come from?"

"We invited them down from the mountain." Shen Tang was wearing a light round robe. Except for the lining of fine skin-friendly cotton, everything else was the level of a small wealthy family. She didn't even have a piece of silk or satin. Luo San looked more like a head of a wealthy family when he walked beside her.

"The mountains?"

"Some of them fled to the mountains to avoid war, and some of them have lived in the mountains for generations. If the southwest wants to revitalize, they must have people. There is a shortage of young and strong people everywhere, not just here. It's too late to encourage women to have children now, so we can only consider other aspects. As long as we solve their problems, we can migrate people from the mountains."

The reasons for their escape to the mountains are nothing more than war, corvée, and the crimes of their ancestors. In addition, there is no land in the family, and they can't live without firewood. The hills near the city have owners, and they can only go to the unowned mountains to cut wood...

As a result, the population hidden in the mountains is also considerable.

"It took a lot of effort to get them down." The population was registered, the fields were allocated, and the houses were settled. Their future livelihoods had to be considered, and people had to be sent to educate them. After living in the mountains for a long time, the evil in human nature was also released and returned to wildness. Shen Tang brushed aside all these hardships, "Fortunately, everything is moving in a good direction."

Luo San has been the commander of Shanyong County for so many years, and he has been single-mindedly concerned with training and managing the army. He has not paid attention to local management. These are the jobs of the county governor and the county government, but it does not mean that he knows nothing.

Just listening to a few words can imagine the workload behind it.

Distribute land to people, where does the land come from?

The land that can be cultivated has long been divided up by local gentry and wealthy families. It is not enough to spit out from these people. People have to send people to continue to open up wasteland. After the land is opened up, it must be distributed fairly to ensure the livelihood of the common people while satisfying everyone.

The lives of the common people cannot do without firewood. Firewood comes from the mountains, and the mountains are also the private property of the gentry and wealthy families. The mountains with owners are patrolled by mountain guards. If the common people cut down trees without permission, it is a crime of theft, and they deserve to be beaten to death. They can only cut firewood and wood from distant unowned mountains. Where are the roads on these mountains? The cut firewood can only be carried by people on their backs and legs. How to solve these troubles?

These questions were hanging in Luo San's mind.

Until the two of them sat down in the restaurant and had some midnight snacks.

While tasting the country dishes, they chatted.

When he heard that Shen Tang had actually settled people with different surnames in different areas after registering them, he was stunned for a long time: "Lady Xiahou, are you too bold?"

This is something that the governor of Shanyong County would not dare to do in his dreams.

Let's not talk about other things first-

Luo San moved the mat forward and approached Shen Tang to talk in detail: "Let's not talk about other things first, Lady, do you know that many poor people in the folks have big stoves to save firewood? People with the same surname have one stove to cook?"

The firewood consumed by each household cooking with fire is much more than that of several households cooking together. How much firewood and charcoal can be saved in a year? Although people of the same surname and clan may fight and exploit each other, they also help each other. If the clan members are more lenient and give more wheat rice, perhaps one more child in the family can live...

If Lady Xiahou does this, those poor people will have no way to survive, and it will be difficult to even use the firewood from the clan members and the village to cook a meal.

When he came, he noticed that the forests here were severely cut down.

It would cost more for ordinary people to cut firewood. Even if Lady Xiahou opened the owned mountain to the common people to cut down, it would be a poison to quench thirst. The growth rate of the forests is far less than the consumption rate of the common people.

Shen Tang said: "Of course I know."

She took the officials out to explore everywhere whenever she had something to do.

Don't be so high up in the temple without knowing the suffering of the people.

Check out the correct version in the 16-9 book forum!

"Then you——"

Shen Tang sighed: "Literary and martial spirits can change life."

"Ah?"

Shen Tang said: "Didn't Lord Luo see it before, using the high efficiency of martial warriors to avoid conscription of corvée from the people?"

With the scale of the city wall of Suginaga County, if it were all pressed on the common people, I don't know how many young and strong laborers would be occupied, how many years of local livelihoods would be delayed, and how many people would be exhausted to death! As long as the warriors and scholars are no longer high and mighty, everything can be solved.

Luo San stared: "I thought it was just a stopgap measure."

"But I don't intend to take it as a stopgap measure, this is a long-term plan." Even facing Luo San, the thorough marquis, Shen Tang did not intend to avoid it, "God randomly gives power to all living beings, some can be literary and literati, some can become martial warriors, and other Mohist doctors... all counted in, but only one hundred of all living beings, the remaining ninety-nine are worthy of hiding in the dust?"

Luo San looked at Shen Tang calmly.

Shen Tang said, "This is unfair. It is fair for everyone to enjoy the power given by God."

Luo San did not feel offended, but was just curious about how she survived until now.

He thought so and asked so.

Shen Tang smiled and said, "Didn't Lord Luo see it?"

Gu Chi is a typical example.

Luo San: "..."

Thinking of the young man who was scolded by him as a flatterer, he was speechless. It's said that this monarch and minister are unreliable, but they understand each other very well. But it's said that the monarch and minister are reliable, one said "the master is in the palace", and the other said "Wang Chao was really beaten by Shao Xuan".

At first glance, these two seem to have a grudge.

He said, "They are both emotional people."

Shen Tang clapped his hands and smiled, "They are smart people."

The offspring of martial warriors/literary scholars may not be able to inherit the genetic lottery of their parents, but ordinary people also have the opportunity to give birth to dragons and phoenix talents with the qualifications of literary scholars/military warriors. A generation later, the offense and defense changed, and the roots of the war were laid.

In this case, it is better to be fair and everyone enjoys the power given by God. Then, no matter whether the next generation is excellent or mediocre, there is no need to reignite the war because of this contradiction.

Luo San looked deeply at Shen Tang, his eyes filled with indescribable fascination and admiration, fiery and frank. He reminded Shen Tang: "With your status and strength today, do you still have no regrets about your choice?"

Shen Tang said: "Time will give Luo Hou the answer."

Luo San drank the rice wine in one gulp.

This kind of folk-brewed wine has no alcoholic taste, and the taste is slightly sour and light. Luo San feels happy, and even the taste of inferior wine on the tip of his tongue is better than the nectar and jade dew that can only be found in the palace in the sky: "Shen Nujun is a thousand years old, Luo San I respect you."

Shen Tang also drank it happily: "Marquis Luo is a thousand years old."

It's refreshing when you drink it, but a little awkward when you pay the bill.

No matter how low-quality wine is, it is made from food, and the price is not much lower. Shen Tang lowered his head and opened the money bag, his eyes almost touching the opening of the money bag. No matter how many times he counted, he still couldn't find enough to pay. She scratched her forehead slightly in embarrassment. She couldn't eat the King's meal in front of Luo San, so she had to wave to the secret guards and signal for payment: "paid, go back to the household department for verification."

Luo San: "..."

Do I need to contact the Ministry of Accounts for this expenditure?

Shen Tang grabbed his wrist and muttered: "Hey, there is no good food or wine here. If Marquis Luo goes to the palace, there will be fine wine."

Wine is free.

Luo San was skeptical about this: "Don't lie to me."

Shen Tang really didn't lie to Luo San.

The two dug out a pile of fine wine from the palace cellar.

After patting open the red cloth wine seal, Luo San was intoxicated by the tangy aroma of wine: "Is this the wine? My younger generations are filial, but the only flaw is that there are too few... Why do you have so much?"

Shen Tang said: "Unique secret recipe."

Luo San asked again: "How old is it?"

Shen Tang opened his mouth and said: "Eighteen years."

Regardless of whether it's from Shang and Zhou dynasties or last week, it's all from eighteen years ago. Not to mention the authentic taste of this batch of wine, even if it was mixed with water, Luo San couldn't taste it. She has more experience selling fake wine than being a lord: "How about giving it a try, Lord Luo?"

Luo San still had to be reserved.

"In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey."

He is not a very good drinker, but no warrior can refuse this wine.

The keyboard has been packed away, but it has been left for too long to accumulate dust, and the keycaps are a little dirty. Take it off and wash it... After it is done, I will go back to Big Eyes. Remember to pay attention to it.
