readx;?“ Teacher, did you say that the emperor couldn't think of it?"

"The Holy One could not be wiser and wiser. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Mr. Bai stood in front of the snow house and said with emotion, "People are getting old." ”

There is no successor, I am afraid that I can't hold it down, and I am in a hurry.

Lin Xi curled his mouth silently, shrunk his sleeves and turned back to the room, the weather still had the chill of early spring.

Dada's letter was written in a timely manner, and after Temur had met their eldest prince again and again, a tearful "Letter to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia" was presented to the imperial court.

Lying on the couch on his side, a palace maid gently pounded his legs and feet, and the other sat sideways behind him, slowly pinching his slender hands around his neck, and Emperor Xia Jing squinted his eyes and rested.

In the quiet Heart Cultivation Palace, I suddenly heard the emperor order: "Go, Prince Xuanrui." ”

With that, he got up and waved his hand back from the palace attendants who were serving around him.

"Yes. Father-in-law came out from behind the curtain, answered in a low voice, and quietly retreated as his eyes swept over the book on the imperial case.

"Jingyi, what do you think?"

The "Letter of His Majesty the Emperor of Gao Daxia" from Dada originated from the father-in-law and presented it to Zhao Jingyi, who was standing under the seat.

Zhao Jingyi took it respectfully, opened it calmly under the gaze of Emperor Xia Jingdi, and the surroundings were silent, and after reading it, he frowned, and said in a deep voice: "This is Dada's last chance to save his life." ”

Emperor Xia Jing sat on a high seat and asked with an unpredictable expression, "Do you think it's credible?"

"He doesn't have a second way. Zhao Jingyi said, and then he looked up at Emperor Xia Jing on the throne, his eyes were calm, and his voice was low, "Your Majesty, even if the wolves on the grassland are imprisoned for a long time, they will not lose their wildness, and now they have no choice but to surrender to Great Xia, but all the compromises are for the sake of a backbite in the future, and Dada, who will seek the throne in the future, will not be any different from the current Samule, and seek skin with wolves...... It won't last long. ”

Emperor Xia Jing was a little surprised, he thought that this nephew would strongly approve, after all, he supported Dada, and intervened in the internal affairs of Hunu, if Daxia needed the right to speak, it was safer for Zhao Jingyi to deter the northwest, and it was not suitable to marry a princess.

Emperor Xia Jingdi glanced at Zhao Jingyi complicatedly, and his gaze unconsciously softened, "It doesn't take long, and it doesn't need him to be as loyal as written in this letter." Emperor Xia Jing raised his chin towards the book in Zhao Jingyi's hand and signaled, "It will only take five years, and when the Great Xia Dynasty is stable, the northwest border defense is strong, and the army is strong, then there will be no more fear." ”

He sighed: "Qing Ke has to work hard for another five years. ”

Zhao Jingyi clenched his fists and bowed his head, "It's within the nephew's business." ”

Emperor Xia Jing laughed when he heard this, his demeanor was friendly, he paced to Zhao Jingyi's side, and patted his shoulder, "This matter is so decided, it will be drafted by the cabinet tomorrow, and the Hunu mission has been in the capital long enough, it's time to go back." ”

Zhao Jingyi lowered his head and listened respectfully.

"Having said that, you are really fragrant buns, even the princess of Hunu will not marry you, look, trouble will come. But the strange thing is that the Queen Mother doesn't mention your marriage anymore, when will my will to give marriage be issued?"

No matter how contradictory and suspicious the monarch and ministers were, Emperor Xia Jingdi's concern for Zhao Jingyi's nephew was not fake.

As long as it is not a matter of the court, Zhao Jingyi is always Emperor Xia Jingdi's favorite nephew.

Zhao Jingyi turned his head sideways and pressed down the displeasure in his heart, "Please leave this grace to others." ”

Then, without waiting for Emperor Xia Jing to return to his surprise, he retreated: "If the uncle has nothing else to do, the nephew will go back first." ”

This is the first time that Zhao Jingyi has replied so directly, it can be seen that he has stepped on his pain, and Emperor Xia Jingdi is not angry but feels strange.

When the Queen Mother asked about it, she saw the Queen Mother sigh deeply, picking up the Buddha beads in her hand, her face full of distress and helplessness.

only said, "Don't ask, the emperor, this kid is bitter, let's put it down for the time being." ”

"Hu Nu and Da Xia have been together, this time the horse market has been closed for six years, but Da Xia's porcelain, tea, pots and pans still appear in Hu Nu. The risk of smuggling is extremely high, and it is a loss of head to find out, but a single huge profit can make people take risks, open up the border generals, and they can pass secretly, but this filial piety silver cannot enter the treasury, since it is not stopped, it is better to open it directly, and the court controls trade and taxes!"

Lin Xi took a pen and wrote and drew on the paper, and said to Mr. Bai, "Doesn't Daxia want to support Dada? Give him this trade power, if the Hunu people want to trade with the merchants of Daxia, they must first get a pass from Dada, and his status in Hunu will be different in less than a year." ”

Mr. Bai stroked his beard, squinted at the white paper, and his eyes flowed on the number of a pen, "Xi'er, the horse market in Great Xia has also been open for many years, and the tax rate set by the imperial court is less than half of it, but smuggling is still unstoppable, and now you have this tax...... It's almost two, it's not easy. ”

Lin Xi put down his pen when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Teacher, these two percent of the tax is really not worth mentioning compared to the profits obtained by the border tea horses, as long as the market is opened, the businessmen will definitely come for profit, as long as they are tax-pumping while ensuring the safety and smoothness of their transactions, there is no other name of exploitation, they must be willing." Later, the student will settle the account with you. ”

"Speaking of smuggling...... The first reason for smuggling is that the imperial court does not open the market, and second, even if the market is open, it cannot be traded! The first is easy to say, and the second is nothing more than weapons, weapons, books, food, and other prohibited things that are expressly prohibited by the imperial court. Therefore, it is extremely important to protect and supervise the first type and severely punish the second type. As for how to protect, the frontier garrison is directly appointed by the imperial court, and it may be rotated every three years; how to supervise, any goods must be reported in advance to the traded things, quantity, time, value, origin, and counterparty, and there must be a road guide issued by the local town government, the contract signed by the two parties, according to which taxes are collected, and the goods are sampled at any time, etc., and the imperial court will send a messenger from time to time to verify the three parties, archive, and recover the tax silver. ”

What Lin Xi said was just some basic things about international trade in later generations, and now it is still shallow and rough, and it needs to be more refined if you want Mr. Bai to fully understand it.

But this is just some inspiration, not anything," the student sorted out some rough ideas, and asked the teacher to look at them at that time. ”

Drawing heavy taxes from businessmen, this is still a very new saying, Mr. Bai stroked his beard, and his eyebrows tightened and thoughtful, "This is a good method, but the status of businessmen is low, and it seems that the court is competing with the people for profit." ”

The corners of Lin Xi's mouth curled into a sarcastic arc, "What does it mean to compete with the people for profit? Isn't it not to extort all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes from the peasant households? Although they are farmers and industrialists, but the last businessmen call slaves and maids, they catch a lot of them, and which of the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee has nothing to do with them? They have fine clothes and fine food, high beds and warm pillows, rich family resources, and money to build bridges and roads, charity and education, and earn a good reputation, why do they not need to pay taxes, but instead put this kind of pressure on the peasants who have no meal and face the loess every day, it is simply unreasonable! ”

Lin Xi is also from a peasant family, so he is deeply touched, and he has been much better in later generations, at least farmers don't pay taxes, but they can only provide for a college student by saving money for a lifetime, which is far less easy than the son of a business boss in the city.

"Xi'er, this is not easy. Mr. Bai pointed out sharply, "You also know that there are many businessmen behind the officials of the DPRK and China, and it is almost impossible to change this rule that has lasted for thousands of years." ”

Lin Xi said: "The students understand that they don't want to be used in the world, but just want to do something in the newly opened horse market, if the results are remarkable, needless to say, the emperor himself will ask for this, after all, no one will think that the silver is hot, and the treasury is naturally as abundant as possible." ”

Mr. Bai felt reasonable, and bowed slightly, "Okay, show it to the teacher." ”

Although Mr. Bai refused to be a minister of the emperor's cabinet, since he had joined the office, he was ambitious, and now that he had the opportunity to go to the emperor's eyes, why should he cut off this opportunity?

He understands the emperor, although the northwest victory, increase the honor, but years of war, the treasury has been stretched, although the emperor refuted the idea of raising taxes, but after all, the silver is tight, coupled with the upcoming Dengtai Fengzen, it is a huge expense, presumably now as long as this problem can be solved, the emperor will not mind giving it a try.

It's just that I don't know who this thankless thing will fall on.

Lin Xi has actually been preparing for this trade rule for a long time, and he has asked Zhao Jingyi many times about the frontier, and he changed it again and again before presenting it to the teacher.

The two masters and apprentices discussed this detailed rule back and forth, and three days later, Mr. Bai asked to meet the saint.

Then Emperor Xia Jing met with several important ministers.

This day is just the right spring, and after a winter, Lin Xi is finally willing to go out for a walk.

Lin Xi is frail and travels in a carriage, although he is fresh in riding, but for the sake of his body, he is still insensitive to thanks, and now that he is better, he is ready to move.

This is a newly grown mare, he sits carefully on the horse's back, the mare is docile and tame, and walks quite steadily, which is very suitable for Lin Xi, a beginner.

Zhao Jingyi walked ahead with the reins, allowing Lin Xi to relax his body and slowly adapt to it.

"If it can be done, I think the pattern of the border will change a lot, but it will have a greater impact on the local family gate, after all, smuggling is inseparable from them. ”

In order to relieve the tension, Lin Xi tried his best to find a topic.

Zhao Jingyi said: "Once Hu Nu knocked on the side, the people suffered deeply, and after a lot of robbery and ravage, how could there still be a family gatekeeper." Since it is standing, no matter what kind of pain it loses every time, it is just an appearance. ”

In the face of interests, the family and the country disregard, internal and external collusion, and that's it.

Lin Xi stroked the horse's neck, bent his eyes and said with a smile: "As long as these family gate valves are pressed, then Song Huaizhou and Zhang Hu will be able to stand firm in the northwest." ”

Zhao Jingyi turned around, returned the reins to Lin Xi's hand, touched Lin Gongzi's hand, and said softly: "This king thanks Lin Gongzi for his strategy." ”

After he finished speaking, he patted the horse's buttocks, and the horse immediately trotted up, Lin Xi subconsciously clenched the reins and shouted "Hey-", but the horse had already run, so he could only straighten his body and stare at the front.

There was a whistle behind him, and the big black horse that jumped to where he didn't know where to galloped towards Zhao Jingyi like a shadow, who turned over and rushed to Lin Xi as soon as he pulled the reins.

"Xi'er, don't be afraid, tighten the rope, lower her body, and stick to the horse's back. ”

The big black horse is a war horse, and the speed caught up with Lin Xi in a while, Zhao Jingyi grabbed the reins, slowed down his speed, and ran forward with Lin Xi's horse.

Lin Xi's horse was not frightened after all, and it was estimated that it was also annoyed, and when Zhao Jingyi slapped it, he spread his hooves and moved, and slowly changed to trotting now.

Although Lin Xi had never eaten pork, he had also seen a pig run, he was nervous at first, his body was stiff, but now he mastered the frequency and rhythm, and began to relax, and his white-brushed face regained some blood.

Zhao Jingyi looked at him and encouraged: "Very good, now try to clamp the horse's belly with your hips, let the horse run faster, don't push too hard, hold the rope and don't let go." ”

No matter how weak a man is, he has an adventurous heart, and letting that wind whistle in his ears with the gallop will be addictive.

Lin Xi smiled as he ran, his eyes were shining, with a light that couldn't be suppressed, and the fluttering plain hairband streaked through the air one after another traces of freedom. Lin Xi smiled lightly, smiled lightly, smiled softly, smiled...... They are all restrained and courteous, and they dare not be too open. But now looking back, the heartfelt smile can instantly capture Zhao Jingyi's heart.

Nothing touches people's hearts more than the undisguised happiness of their sweetheart.

The big black horse ran side by side with Lin Xi's mare, Zhao Jingyi's eyes darkened, and he suddenly let go of the reins, and put his hand on the horse's back behind Lin Xi, in an instant, Lin Xi only felt that his horse's back sank, the horse paused, and then an arm came around his waist, and suddenly locked, and he fell into a hard and warm embrace.

"Zhao Jingyi!"

Lin Xi whispered, Zhao Jingyi turned his face, and the two pairs of eyes with joy and love were glued together, one looking for the other's lips, intertwining breathing, and exploring each other deeply.

In the depths of love, it has nothing to do with the scenery and can't take into account the surrounding environment.

Lin Xi threw himself into it and unconsciously let go of the reins, and the moment he let go, another big hand took it over and stopped the horse.

And the moment the horse's hooves stopped, Zhao Jingyi immediately loosened the reins, completely broke Lin Xi's body, and hugged him deeper into the kiss, and the hot air sprayed rapidly, which was particularly warm and eager.

His hand subconsciously reached down, Lin Xi whimpered, his eyes widened suddenly, but soon moistened, and he grabbed his arm slightly helplessly.

Zhao Jingyi let out a few sighs from his throat, looked at Lin Xi's slightly red face ambitiously, and caressed it without refusing, until the person in his arms softened his body after a short cry, and then kissed him and withdrew his hand and tidied up Lin Xi's clothes.

Then Prince Rui looked like a decent man and a gentleman again, but the narrow smile in his eyes revealed his impropriety.

Lin Xi suddenly became ashamed, lowered his eyelids, reached out and pinched the solid arm fiercely, and turned around again with a little bit of skin, the sour feeling Zhao Jingyi couldn't help baring his teeth, sinking his head and pressing on Lin Xi's shoulder, but he didn't dare to take his arm back.

Sweet pain is just that.

On the second day of the court meeting, Emperor Xia Jing directly issued the will.

At this point, the great prince of Hunu suddenly became Hunu's foreign envoy to Daxia, and he was personally appointed as a third-grade official by the imperial court.

At the same time, the horse market was ordered to be opened, but all commerce and trade corresponded to Dada.
