"The prince of the country is exempt from courtesy. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Nalan Rui was a little tired, and when he saw Su Jin bowing and saluting, he stopped him with a smile, "Give him a seat." ”

"Thank you, saints. Su Jin was not hypocritical, and sat in the chair of the Taishi under him, "I don't know what happened when the sage summoned the old minister?"

"Guogong is a great Chu pillar stone. Nalan Rui's expression was gentle and kind, and he didn't mind putting himself in the position of a junior, but he still had the power of the emperor all over his body, "In the court and the opposition, there is no one who can compare to you." ”

"Your Majesty will not give up. Su Jin's smile was gentle, and the phoenix eyes of the Su family's logo were also soft, although he was sixty years old, he still had an outstanding demeanor, "This old bone can also drive for Your Majesty." ”

Nalan Rui's eyebrows were gentle, and he handed him a yellow satin-faced fold in his hand, "Before leaving, I gave me a twist and turn." ”

Su Jin's heart moved, but he quietly opened the fold, and Nalan Rui didn't speak, just smiled gently and waited for Su Jin to finish reading the fold.

After half a pillar of incense, Su Jin put down the fold, but smiled lowly, as if he was quite helpless: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, I never know what this child thinks." ”

When she was sixteen, Qingyuan said that she measured heaven and earth. Su Jin also smiled with his eyebrows, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion, "Not only the ministers, but also the old people in the clan, so they all attach great importance to her, and they also let her toss by herself, and she doesn't interfere much." Fortunately, although she was a little frivolous in her early years, she did not cause a big disaster. ”

As for what she said, the old minister would like to ask His Majesty's attitude. ”

This is an imperative. Nalan Rui's expression was frank, like a student who humbly asked for advice, "It's just that thanks to the imperial court, it will only cause people's hearts to be shaken, and even a good thing has become an evil thing." ”

Su Jin nodded, but in his heart, he couldn't wait to catch Su Lan from the northwest immediately. The Chu family imitated the previous dynasty, and there were many hidden fields, which were not taxed to the imperial court, and all the income should be owned by the family. After these two hundred years of sedimentation, the number of hidden fields is immeasurable. As the name suggests, these hidden fields are filed and transferred from the family to the farmers, so that the state can collect taxes. This is the naked robbery of the family's private property, although this private property is also mostly ill-gotten gains.

But as Su Lan said, now the war is still frequent, the army has not moved, the grain and grass are the first, only the current Chu State is taxed, if the tax is not increased, it may be difficult to support a larger war. The Great Chu tax is not heavy, however, the people can't afford to increase the tax again. Since the tax cannot be increased, the land that can be taxed must be increased.

"Your Majesty can estimate how big this resistance is?" Su Jin sighed, "There are more than 100 families in the Chu Kingdom, from the nine families in Jingzhao Qingyuan to the powerful in various places, they are intertwined, and they affect the whole body. ”

"I also know that this matter is difficult to do. ”

"The minister can give His Majesty a foundation. Su Jin met Nalan Rui's eyes and sighed, how did Su Lan not understand the meaning of this twist and turn at this time, and forced him to the front, but he had to express his position, "I, the Jingzhao Nine Family, really don't engage in the Hidden Field, Your Majesty also knows that since the Qing Dynasty, these families have been in business." ”

"As for the old Qingyuan land, it is where the royal and family temples are located, and most of them are sacrificial fields in the clan, all of which are registered and no one dares to hide them. ”

"Six points of grain in Chu are all produced in Longxi, Central Plains. Nalan Rui's expression was still gentle, listening to Su Jin's words, he was very serious, "The Longxi family, connected by marriage, is a closed circle, and these families such as us are different, it is more like a feudal country, and the family guards the fortress and supports the private army, otherwise, why did the first emperor set up the Longyou General's Mansion there, it was to monitor it." ”

Therefore, the key to the concealment is in Longxi. Su Jin's eyes lit up, "The ministers are willing to open the knife stone for His Majesty, but the bone of Longxi is very hard." ”

"Longxi. Nalanrui nodded, "It's bracketed, it's hard to guarantee that it won't repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

"If you hide it, you must first break the closure of Longxi. Su Jin smiled slightly, "This means that you have to combine vertically and horizontally before you can conquer the city." ”

"The prince of the country can look at the talent of Longxi Shaoyan for me. Nalan Rui also smiled, "There are still several younger brothers who have not married." ”

"Yes. Su Jin bowed slightly and said.

"Your Majesty. Su Jin stood up, looked at Nalan Rui's sincere expression, but his heart moved, and he said a few more words, "Minister, I know that Your Majesty has great ambitions, and the Chu State also has a hundred years of accumulation. However, the shortcomings accumulated in the Chu State for a hundred years cannot be solved by one person in one day. I hope that Your Majesty, be cautious and slow, at least, the outside is too peaceful, and the inside can be moved. The old minister doesn't mind the rookies above the court, and he can also appease the family for His Majesty, however, people's hearts are unpredictable, if Your Majesty really has this thought, please also slowly figure it out. ”

"Guogong. Nalan Rui also stood up, Su Jin's words, how did he not know how much of his true feelings, "I, remember." ”

"The minister retired. ”

Nalan Rui sat back in his seat, chewing on Fang Cai Su Jin's words, but smiled lowly, he now somewhat understood why the ancestors of several generations of emperors wanted to get rid of the Su clan several times, but finally reconciled with the Su clan, and let the Su clan sit in the position of the crown of the family.

Of course, the head of the Su family is not someone who can be eliminated so easily.

———————————————————————————————

Out of Shuofang, but it was the endless Gobi Desert, Su Lan did not know that her twists and turns would cause a new wave in the court of Chu State, and at this time she quickly digested the news that the prisoner who was sitting on the wheel of the car to breathe and act as a guide by the way.

"The Great Khan did not send troops to Nacha, but only sent envoys to Nacha, not to annex Nacha. I want my brother to support him in annexing the Qingniu Division. ”

However, he saw this as an opportunity for Nacha, detained the envoys, and sent people to secretly contact the Qingniu Ministry to try to persuade Qingniu to join forces with him against the Great Khan. ”

However, where was he the opponent of the Great Khan, the Great Khan knew that he was restless, and there were stragglers around the royal court of Nacha, so he naturally intercepted the news. ”

The envoy questioned him about this, and when he saw that the matter was revealed, he killed the envoy and the soldiers and horses of the Great Khan around him, took me as a hostage, and forced my mother to send false news to the royal court. ”

"Where can my mother not obey, but the envoy has already left a back hand, and the Great Khan got the handwritten letter, so he pressed the border with a large army to strangle Nacha. ”

"The Nacha people did not know what was happening, and they were taken away from their land in a hurry. He framed my mother for colluding with the royal court with the intention of subverting Nacha, so he killed her among them. I had a few uncles as guarantors, and I survived. ”

After that, the royal court army chased after him, and when he saw that he was defeated, he turned to the territory of Shuofang, and the royal court army did not know his intentions and did not dare to enter the Chu realm rashly. ”

"You'll know what happened next. I took advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards and escaped in the chaos, pretending to be caught as a tongue, just for today's opportunity. ”

"Then why did you delay until now to say it? Moreover, why didn't you seek better refuge in the capital? On that day, the Great Lieutenant Chu was also present. ”

"But in the northwest, you are the uncrowned king. Besides, if I show my hole cards early, I will lose the opportunity. ”

"You're not missing the lead now. ”

"It's that I'm not as good as others. ”

"Count you as acquaintances. ”

"If you don't talk to me now, you won't have a chance to say it later. What the situation is, you can see it at a glance. ”

"Now, I've got all the cards out. I am your best chess piece to communicate with the royal court. ”

"What do you want?"

"That's it. ”

Thinking of this, Su Lan smiled slightly, walked to the outside of the carriage, and patted Jin Riyan on the shoulder.

"I'll give you Nacha, and I can also help you cook Zhou Guo. But. ”

"What are your conditions?"

"To the north of Nacha, east of Yanmen, sell me that piece. ”

"What's there?"

"Coal. Xuanxi leaned out and smiled slightly.

"I don't seem to have any reason not to say yes to you. ”

"Deal. ”
