I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man

Follow Blue Ear along the curved trail and soon reach a lakeside painting.

Cao Qi was also there. When he saw Qin Noh, he bowed his hand and laughed. “My lord, long time no see. ”

Chino nodded and asked curiously: "General wants to see me? ”

“The Lord does have important business with His Majesty.” Leading Qin Noh to the main hall, Cao Qi said respectfully and courteously, but did not say a word to Pei why he was looking for him.

When he arrived at the door, Cao Qi stopped and laughed: “The guards may want to take a short break in the outer hall. ”

Chino nodded at Fang Yuan and let him back down with Blue Ear. My relationship with Pei is not bad, I should be safe and worry-free.

When I pushed the door open, I saw General Pei sitting at the table. He was making tea, wearing a skinny coat with bamboo leaf patterning on the corners, gentle and refreshing. More like a poetry lady than a martial arts general.

Seeing Chino come in, he rose to greet him. Chino thought about it and bowed down.

Although they are both titles of pint, Pei Bao was kind enough to save his life last time.

The corner of Pei's mouth revealed a slight smile, like a mockery, like a playful taste. He took a slight step back. “Don't be polite, Prince Chun, you are a pint prince. Pei Pei is now idle and can't stand this gift. ”

Cao Qi, who accompanied the guest by the door, blinked, looked at the master and looked at Qin Noh again.

Exactly the same opening statement.

Qin Noh gave a simple gift and stood up and laughed: “Not for the sake of inferiority, but for thanking General Pei for saving my cousin last time. ”

Pei Zheng stared at Qin Noh and said, "There is a good fortune between me and the king. ”

That means a deep look, Qin Norton understood when, the person in front of him already knew, that the night was not Qin Qi at all, it was his own disguise.

Actually, just think about it. Just a quick question and you'll know that the thirteenth princess never left the palace. So it goes without saying who that night was.

Chino was a little embarrassed and coughed twice.

Cao Qi looked at the two people in confusion.

From the look on his face, Chino read that this guy had no idea, and that night was about dressing himself as a woman.

Fortunately, General Pei knows at least to respect the privacy of others.

Qin Noh relaxed for a moment and asked straight away: "I wonder why the General has come to me this time? ”

“There are some things I would like to discuss with the Prince.” Pei was talking and led Qin Noh to sit at the table.

“I wonder what the prince thinks of the situation today? ”

The first is so overwhelmed with Wang Ba's qi, Qin Noo hit the mouth of the tea insurance more spray out. There was a lot going on in the world, and six months ago, he had no idea, and someone would ask him that question.

For a moment, he flashed countless thoughts in his head. Ultimately, Pei Pei, is this about choosing future supporters? Qin Jian's body in the palace seems really bad.

How dare he think about himself? In his position, I'm afraid that Qin Hun is the more appropriate choice. After all, he is elderly and conforms to the rule of no standing.

Did you get interested because you had a few contacts with him before? If it were chosen, would there really be a chance to ask about the location? Combining with Pei Pei is also tantamount to tying yourself to Pei Pei's carriage.

For a moment, Qin Noh's heart flashed through countless thoughts.

“The world is strong, this king feels that after centuries of war and division into mixed wars, it is now time for reunification.” Qin Noh thought about it and said, “A great unified dynasty is a good thing for the people of Lebanon. ”

Ultimately, he chose to deal with this ambiguous answer. In fact, Qin Noh was completely ignorant of the dynasty, and he could not say anything about building a tall house. And the man in front of him holds top authority and a mature intelligence network, and he is more visionary about any momentum in the world than he is.

In the era of unification, the great unified dynasty, very novel vocabulary, but surprisingly relevant.

Pei chooses the frown end, “I didn't expect His Highness to stay famous on a weekday, but he is so concerned about the heavens. Now that Nanchen is weak, Beishuo retreats, according to His Highness, this era of great unity should not be far away. ”

“What I'm talking about is just a trend, and it's bound to be divided over time. The trend towards unity is irreversible when the real goal is to be achieved, perhaps in place now, perhaps in the next day.” Qin Noh smiled and didn't say a word. Maybe it was in your Pei family's hands.

The pure black spoon stirred the tea leaves, the slender finger was carved like a white jade. Who knows, these hands contain unlimited power, not only the force of the top hand, but also the power of the most elite soldiers and horses in the world.

Pei Pour the conditioned tea leaves into the boiling water, “Is the Prince interested in the tea ceremony too? ”

Qin Noh suddenly noticed that the person in front of him had not raised his head and had noticed that he had been staring at his hand.

He responded quickly, laughing: “As the great power is cooked fresh, as the general just said, the world is strong, as the general said, this cup of tea, only when the time is ripe, the natural water comes to the channel, the tea is full of fragrance. If the fire hasn't arrived, there's no use rushing. ”

Pei's eyes flashed with a smile. "With all due respect, Pei once again asked how one day His Majesty would govern the world and conform to its destiny. ”

This sentence is too straightforward, at least cover it up, with a ruling party or something. Well, this country, too, can be interpreted as a sealed nation.

Slightly thinking about it, Qin Noh said: "To govern the world is to give farmers their land, business has its way, soldiers have their salaries, and workers have their gains. Within the four seas, each one of them has his duties, and the natural world has risen peacefully, and he is delighted with Sang Rong. ”

Pei looked at the teenager in front of him with enthusiasm, it seemed that there was always something to surprise him.

“Do you dare ask the King, how can those who cultivate have their land, do business, soldiers have their salaries, and workers have their gains? ”

Qin Noh really had a headache. It seemed like he was back in school, and the class director pulled him up and forced him to write his book notes backwards.

He paused and said: "The cultivators have their land, which is nothing more than to guarantee the land of the people, to suppress the annexation of land, so that the rich do not have a land to admire, and the poor do not have a land to cone. Promoting commercial development requires clearer roads and water transport, continued canal digging, clearance of bandits and reduction of checkpoints. As long as commerce and commerce circulate, the people are rich, the natural court is rich. With silver, we will not delay the withholding of grass from the army..."

Pei was surprised that the so-called farmers had their fields. He thought the other side would say lower taxes and light service.

In response to Pei's doubts, Qin Noh explained: “Today's taxes are not harsh, and the heavy ones are a large concentration of farm produce in the hands of a few. So the rest of us can only be forced to pay more taxes. ”

Taxes on the people during the week were fairly peaceful, dividing the world's riches into five classes, paying taxes according to grades, plus all kinds of bondage and miscellaneous taxes, as well as depletion, about two to three percent of the people's daily income. But as the number of taxable land and households gradually decreased, Jingyao added tax once a year. Today, it is about 30 to 40 percent, and the people are exhausted but still able to live.

A large number of estates are gathered in the hands of powerful people, and noble and well-known people do not pay taxes, so that the court does not impose taxes, but only puts a growing burden on the remaining free people. Overburdened, then there is only one way to go bankrupt. Why don't you just sell your estate to the elite, and then put yourself into slavery?

In all the dynasties, by flourishing and decreasing, it is actually a history of land annexation and resource concentration. In the early days of the dynasty, the land was in the hands of the civilian population, everyone paid their taxes on time, and the rest ate. By the end of the dynasty, resources and land were concentrated in the hands of the powerful, and the people could not eat and could only rise.

Chino touched his nose, as if the royal family was the biggest land annexer, and he really didn't deserve to say that.

But Pei Zheng on the other side didn't seem to realize this at all. He just nodded his head if he had thought about it. He asked: "The world values agriculture and business, and listens to the meaning of the prince, as if he cares more about pedestrians? ”

“Farmers are the essence of the State, but business is the vein of the State. ”

After the education of future generations, Chino knew at least the importance of business, a society with a developed commodity economy, so as to truly make the country wealthy and improve the living standards of the people.

Pei Bao continues to make tea. The conversation also continued.

During the conversation, Qin Noh had to admit that Pei was a good listener and a good facilitator. There are things he doesn't want to say, but naturally he does, induced by the other party.

Many ideas are not harmonious to this era, and the other side seems to accept them well, at least thinking about their reasonableness. Instead of rejecting it instantly as a distorted evil, as the old man did, it was totally denied.

He is not only a namesake, but also a wise and sensible man.

The second cup of tea continued, and Qino took the cup that pushed in front of him.

He doesn't know how to taste tea when the slightly hot water falls into the mouth, but he can also feel a refreshing scent on the tip of his tongue.

We didn't have time for the finesse, and suddenly Pei Bai threw another sentence across the street.

“One of Pei's family has a daughter, one of her friends, who is not married yet, suits the king's age, and is very interesting, just the right match...”

This time, Qin Noh didn't hold out and sprayed out a sip of tea.

Opposite Pei Bao picked up the folding fan next to him and opened it. He swept the fan like cloud running water, and the water fog was completely taken away. Then fold the fan and put it aside.

Easy movement throughout, as elegant as just making tea.

“Sorry, the tea is a little hot.” Chino pressed down his embarrassment in earnest, trying not to look at the folding fan that was seeping next to him.

Only Cao Qi, who accompanied the guests in the back, cried out in deep sadness. My fan, that's a lonely thing for everyone!

Pei said with a smile: "It was Pei who was in a hurry. ”

Is it tea or wedding? Qin Noh didn't dare to ask, and he didn't want to.

Clearing his voice, he thought it would be better to make it clear: "Actually, I've made up my mind. ”

“Can you hire a wedding letter? ”

“Uh, no.” Chino hesitated. His marriage with Huo Xiaoxian, although obstructing the filial period, did not enter the process, but the two parties were in agreement, and the aristocratic circle in Beijing should be well known. With Pei's level of information, it is impossible not to know.

“Although the blood of the Huo family is noble, her first marriage King De Wang regretted it, wronged the will of the first emperor, and caused more political fluctuations and rebel soldiers. Not in the world of motherhood.” Pei said calmly.
