75_75600After the barbarian unconsciously emphasized that "it is normal for the general's fire commander to stay here or live in the same tent during the march", the Yuan clan was completely broken.

Father and Mother Hua have long accepted the fact that "my daughter is still a general in war", but they have never seen it before, and they have been accused of this cruelty and worry to the minimum, and even the family has taken this matter as a taboo for fear of causing trouble for their daughter, forcing themselves not to think about it and not to inquire.

But once the living facts are in front of us, the impact suffered by the flower mother can be imagined. After all, Hua's father is a man who has been in the army, and he knows what will happen in the military tent and what will happen on the battlefield, and he has already realized the cruelty of his daughter's army, but for Hua's mother, it is like a matter of another world, but it happened to fall on the head of his daughter.

Therefore, after Mulan later returned to the field, the mother of flowers would be so active in kissing her and caring about her future, precisely because she had not realized what kind of life Mulan was experiencing.

In this life, He Mulan changed the trajectory of Mulan's life, and Hua's father and mother understood in advance what it means to "serve in the army for her father", which is also the consequence of butterfly wings.

As for whether this consequence is good or bad, Hermulan does not know.

After a burst of chickens and dogs jumping, He Mulan took (protecting?) Di Ye flew to the court. The flower mother was the flower father who was inquired about and the little angel of the flower family, and Hua Mu Tuo helped her back to the room.

"Am I horrible?" Di Yefei kept touching his face all the way, "It's still my aunt who mistook me for ......"

He opened his mouth, and he couldn't say the words "pet concubine".

"Oh, you'll know after a long time, my aunt is a woman who loves to make a fuss, please don't take it to heart." He Mullan casually said perfunctorily, "Whoever appears in my room, she will be like that." ”

"That's ...... so"

Di Yefei didn't ask "who appeared" what would happen, so he had to change the topic: "What did Mr. tell us yesterday, what are you going to do?" ”

"That's why I said I wanted to enter the palace early." He Mulan sighed, "Cui Taichang seems to be looking for you to send me a message, but in fact, he is looking for me to send a message to His Majesty. I, a person, have never considered any position or conspiracy, and now I naturally go to His Majesty to discuss it in advance. You will follow me later, and go to your majesty first. ”

Di Yefei was very surprised when he heard this.

Because of Hermulan's tone of saying, "Let's go find His Majesty", casually it is as simple as going to his back house to find a woman.

At this moment, he completely understood why Cui Hao said that Mulan was a "person who can shake His Majesty".

This gap made Di Yefei more aware of how far he was from Hermulan, and even made him a little frustrated.

He Mulan is a big and transformed person, he didn't notice Di Yefei's small depression at all, and the two rode to the palace gate, at this time the palace gate had not yet opened, and there was a group of civil and military officials waiting for the dynasty standing outside the door. Some people saw He Mulan and Di Yefei coming together to say hello, and several people who were friends with He Mullan directly ridiculed the Hua family's "door" yesterday, lamenting that there was no woman of suitable marriage age in the family.

He Mulan was teased by this group of adults, so he had to quickly find an egret official at the gate of the palace and ask him to go to Su Hejun and convey his and Di Yefei's request to see His Majesty.

Su Hejun also suffered from forced marriage at home during this time, and the quarrel was so much that he stayed in the palace every day, so He Mulan was sure that he could meet Tuoba Tao early.

Sure enough, after a moment's effort, a few housekeepers came to the palace in a hurry, opened the palace gate early, and took He Mulan and Di Ye to fly in.

The officials waiting at the gate of the palace waited until He Mulan and Di Yefei were out of sight, and then they began to whisper in groups.

"See, the favor he has received is really envious." An old minister sighed in a sour tone, "Your Majesty is a young man, and I don't like to see the faces of our old men now!" ”

"Liu Zhijun is really modest, His Majesty only summoned you to the palace for half a night a few days ago, who doesn't know that His Majesty treats you seriously......" A young official hurriedly appeased, "There is still a difference between a general like Hua Mulan who can fight a war and a minister who governs the country like Envoy Jun." ”

Since ancient times, the civil and military blind date, Ah No, since ancient times, the old minister surnamed Liu really stretched a lot after hearing the consequences, and nodded proudly: "That's right, governing the country is not the same as charging into battle, they are wild horses who have gone crazy, and we are the ones who will pull the horses back." However, Mulan is considered stable among young people, what is the purpose of entering the palace in such a hurry? ”

"This ...... I guess there's something important. ”

Compared with an old and serious minister like Liu Shangshu, more officials are concerned about the fact that He Mulan can be quickly received and Tuoba Tao opened the palace gate for him early.

Earlier, there was news from the palace, saying that when Tuoba Tao went out of the palace to inspect, he first stayed at He Mulan's house, and he was protected by He Mulan before he went out on patrol.

It's not just about "pampering" anymore. Many of the old ministers in the DPRK and the Central Committee are over 50 years old, and in this era when they are almost in the coffin at the age of 50, it is normal for the old batch to return to their hometowns one after another, after all, not everyone can work until they are more than 100 years old like Luo Jie.

Then the next time will be dominated by middle-aged officials led by Cui Hao and young generals like Mulan. The old man seeks the country, and the fist is afraid of the young and strong, and it is applicable everywhere.

No matter how much speculation there is, it is not direct to witness it with their own eyes, and some ministers are even thinking in their hearts whether they want to join the members of the "Door and Court", after all, although there are no daughters in the family, most of them have nieces and granddaughters, and they are all relatives who are not more than five suits, and they are all family, right?

***

When He Mulan was led into the temple by Su Hejun, he didn't expect that there were other people in the hall.

In addition to Tuoba Tao, who was already dressed and waiting for the court, there were also Gu Bi, Helian Ding, and Li Shun, the prince of Pingjiao, who had several relationships with He Mulan, in the palace.

Li Shun and Cui Hao have an in-law relationship, and when Di Yefei came in, he bowed slightly to Di Yefei, which was regarded as a gesture of goodwill to him. Di Yefei naturally didn't dare to slack off, and bowed down from him across the crowd.

Li Shun is the chief envoy of the Northern Liang not long after, his family has three generations of Xianda, he himself is proficient in Xiongnu language, Lushui Hu language, Xianbei dialect and Han dialect, and is from the Li family of Zhao County, he has been sent to Beiliang several times, but he is not an important member of the imperial court, so these people gather together, it is really surprising.

What is even more surprising is that so many people are now gathered around the temple, listening carefully to a young man's description, and they don't even want to be distracted to see who has come in.

Of course, Tuoba Tao knew who had come in, so he casually pointed to a position in the hall, and asked Su Hejun to stand there with He Mulan and Di Yefei.

Because when they entered the hall, they only saw the back of the young man, and the voice of the empty hall was distorted, so at first He Mullan almost did not recognize who the young man was.

But when she calmed down, she suddenly understood who was speaking, and she twisted her neck almost in horror, and looked sideways at the person who spoke.

It was none other than the current head of the Yuan family who was pressed into Beijing because of sin, Yuan Fang.

“…… There is no money in the DPRK and China, but there has never been an official starving to death, why? Because every time the tax is collected, the people are often forced to make fake loans, and the merchants take profits and take a split. Thorn history herdsmen, for the table of thousands of miles. Since every time he is adjusted, he forces the people to take out fake loans, and the big businessmen are rich, and they want to shoot the time and salute, and between the ten days, they will win ten times. The upper and lower are the same, and they are divided into moist houses. Therefore, the family is trapped in the freeze; The door of wealth is both day by day. Humanity is the Wubi lord robbing the population, but he doesn't know the pain of the household, the suffering is unspeakable, and the Wubi lord is just taking advantage of the trend. ”

(Translation: There is no money in the DPRK and China, but there has never been an incident of officials being starved to death, why?) Because every time it was time to collect taxes, the people could not pay the taxes and did not want to go to jail, so there were officials who acted as guarantees to force the people to 'borrow' from the rich first, and then get interest, and the government and the rich businessmen had income. The most important thing in the management of the people is to pay taxes, so when it comes to collecting taxes every year, they will collect all taxes in this way, and the taxes will never be less. If the common people borrow such 'usury', they can multiply their profits more than 10 times in a matter of 10 days, and this kind of windfall profits are shared by the officials and businessmen, thus causing the peasant households to be impoverished, hungry and cold, while the wealthy families are getting richer and richer. Everyone says that the Wubi lord and the state robbed the population and turned the people into shady households, but they don't know how hard the people who are registered in the household register live, it is simply indescribable, and they defected to the door of the Wubi master, and the Wubi lord left shelter, but it was just taking advantage of the trend. ）

Gu Bi is in charge of the country's tax revenue, although the court and the central government do not have a fortune, but every New Year's festival and a big victory, the state has to reward officials at all levels, and it is similar to the fortune.

When the treasury is tight, there are naturally no rewards, but in the past few years, there have been great victories every year, and the taxes collected by the state capitals and local governments every year are particularly good, and the treasury is abundant, so there are many rewards.

But neither Gu Bi nor Tuoba Tao knew that this tax was collected in this way!

It's actually because of "fake loans!!

Gu Bi's face was not good-looking for the first time, and he directly asked Yuan Fang: "You said that the private taxes are all collected in this way, so why don't the people sue the government?" Since His Majesty ascended the throne, there has not been a lawsuit against fake loans! ”

Hearing this, Yuan Fang laughed sarcastically.

It can be seen that he is sure that he will end up with the name of "rebellion" on his back, so he has no hope for the whole world, and he has nothing to hide when he speaks.

"This envoy, if he can let the people sue the officials, how can he be called 'collusion between officials and business'? Which state capital in the world does not need to collect taxes? Who would do this kind of self-defeating thing? If you are a state official of a prefecture, so you can't collect taxes, and if you lose your official income, other officials at all levels have no income, and even killing yourself is normal. You might as well go and check what happened to the county magistrate in Liulin back then! ”

When Gu Bi heard the last sentence, he looked at Tuoba Tao with an expression as if he had been beaten with a stick.

Tuoba Tao wiped his face, in fact, there was no sweat on his face at all, but the shock in his heart was enough to see from his movements.

"It's ridiculous that you also asked me for advice because of the 'three-long system', in my opinion, whether you are the three chiefs or the suzerain's supervision, they are all fishing with all their might, there is no difference in essence, I can't say that you can still live under the supervision of the suzerain, and the three chiefs have three more layers of exploitation, and you can't live."

Yuan Fang sighed, and then began to say with an expression that he was very reluctant to say, but was forced to say:

"There is also a suzerainty under the shadow household, and once there is turmoil under the three chiefs, I am afraid that a large number of people who cannot afford to repay the fake loans will abandon the land and flee from their homeland, either continue to become the suzerainty of the outcasts, or become thieves in the area. Shepherding over the people, encroaching on the people, and being forced into slavery from time to time, and committing adultery/violence are the most terrible problems. Compared to these, the sect master is really much cuter. ”

He Mulan remembered the county order of the later generations who used the "destruction of Buddha" to rob the homes of the common people and the rich, and even forced countless families to die.

It's just a county order of a county, and it can force a number of people who were already Taishou at that time to almost have an accident, which shows how huge the local power is.

Tuoba Tao thought of Wang Jin, who had only been in Chang'an for a short time, and could loot so much wealth in such a short period of time, saying that it was "for the rape/violence" was probably polite.

"Then in your opinion, how can you change the law to solve this problem?"

Tuoba Tao leaned down in an unfathomable and deeply oppressive posture, and looked at Yuan Fang without a flash in his eyes.

This posture He Mullan had seen many times, and the old ministers present were also familiar with it. Whenever Tuoba Tao wanted his ministers to give him accurate and useful insights, he took on this state of urgency.

However, Yuan Fang just blinked, spread his hands and said:

"How do I know? Your Majesty is still discussing it upwards. ”

He Mulan and Di Yefei originally listened to a long speech and the sleepy insects who got up early and were drowsy, but because Yuan Fang was a bit of a scoundrel, they ran away at once.

Not only He Mulan and Di Yefei, but also Gu Bi and Li Shun also showed a choked expression of "Oh, the air, is the air suddenly gone", and they didn't even make a sound to breathe.

And Helian Ding, who was listening quietly, bared his teeth and showed a very funny expression, and then he did laugh.

The sound of muffled laughter spread throughout the temple, causing people to be even more irritable. Who else dares to be so presumptuous now, probably only He Mulan, who has always been trusted by Tuobatao, and Helian Ding, who is favored by Cheng Dù, who is even more than the harem concubine.

Hemulan is not a frivolous person, but Helianding's life seems to have been picked up, which makes him live a more wanton and self-centered life.

Tuoba Tao tried his best to take three or four deep breaths before he could resist the urge to beat Yuan Fang to death, he pinched the edge of the dragon case with his five fingers, and said in a suppressed voice: "You think I haven't discussed it in the court?" When you go to court, you will know that compared to what they say, yours is simply 'high opinion'! ”

Yuan Fang inherited his father's madness from a certain Cheng dù, because he could still smile, making his already round face even more amiable and said, "But I'm a sect master." How could His Majesty ask the Sect Master how to deal with the Sect Master? ”

A frenzied sense of revenge rose in his heart.

Because it was these people who forced the father who just wanted to be a good sect master to be crazy, so as to destroy the Yuan family.

It is these people who have not even managed the country well from generation to generation have created the "suzerain", a deformed thing that is neither an official nor a nobleman.

Obviously, they have protected the peace of the place, and it is obvious that they have resisted the pressure of the outside world, just because these people who can't even govern the country well close their eyes and only imagine the world in their hearts, they regard them as the cause of the chaos in the world today!

"Because the Yuan family owes so many lives."

The loud sentence suddenly exploded in Yuan Fang's ears like the sky was cracking, and he panicked.

The smug and cunning face just now immediately turned pale.

He Mulan, who was originally silent and did not squeak, suddenly stepped forward and said seriously to Yuan Fang: "Think about so many people in the tunnel, if the Yuan family is really righteous, why are there so many unjust souls?" If the other Wu Bi are all righteous, then why are they panicking every day? You were born in Wubao, you should naturally know how desperate and panicked the people who entered Wubao, in this case, why did Wubi, who accommodated so many people, still have nothing when they came out of Wubi? Do you think it's a form of justice? ”

Every word and sentence of He Mulan made Yuan Fang's face turn from white to red.

"Your Majesty really knew that this matter was not benevolent, so he asked you. At this moment, His Majesty is not asking you this question because he wants to deal with the suzerain, but because he doesn't want any more people to be displaced. If this is not a form of righteousness, what is righteousness? ”

He Mulan held his breath in his heart, and sent a challenge to Yuan Fang like a series of arrows: "It is true that once no people are displaced, Wu Bi will naturally collapse, but do you think that the life of being imprisoned in Wu Bi is meaningful? Has the dead head of the Yuan family ever set foot in a great river and mountain in his life? Don't you regret that your life has been so poor and empty for more than 20 years? ”

"You yourself said that the Yuan family is a cage, but now you are worried about the cage, what are you proud of? You have forgotten your retribution! ”

Yuan Fang raised his head, looked at He Mulan, who had made a generous statement, and shouted unwillingly: "Then what do you want me to do?" I'm just a countryman who honors my father and brother, does business, and lives in Wubi! Just ten years ago, I was still a native of the Song Kingdom! Can I answer the questions that so many ministers of the DPRK and China can't answer? I don't even know why Dawei doesn't have a lot of money, no copper coins, how do I know why you collect taxes so much? And how can this be stopped? ”

"Although I am the sect master, I haven't even governed Wu Bi, and the Yuan family is gone! I didn't even know I was so great! ”

"Then think about it, do it!" Tuoba Tao interrupted Yuan Fang's words and sat back on the throne in a relaxed manner. "How long do you think I'll be in this seat, and how long will I be able to sit there?"

"Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, you're talking nonsense again!"

Li Shun and Gu Bi panicked and opened their mouths to stop it.

"Don't you think I'm talking about bad luck, but how can a person's lifespan be determined by a person? Maybe I'll die on the battlefield in the next moment, or maybe I'll collapse after a serious illness, so every day of my reign is spent as the last day. But sweeping the Central Plains and cleaning up the officials, can't I do it if my ancestors didn't do it? Zheng Rouran, Ping Hu Xia, didn't that start with 'I want to do'? ”

"My ancestors were herding on the grasslands, but I am being the emperor! Do you have to be the emperor before you dare to think about how to make the country better and bigger? If that's the case, I'd rather everyone be emperors! ”

"Your Majesty, you're talking nonsense again!"

"Oh my God!"

Gu Bi showed an expression that he was about to faint, and Li Shun was already holding on to the pillars in the hall.

"Gu Shizhong, don't discipline me again!" Tuoba Tao saw that Gu Bi was about to start a long speech again, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking, so he turned his head and continued to ask Yuan Fang.

"Whether it's atonement or unwillingness, ask yourself, what has you left in this world as a good son! I can shout 'I have been here' to the sky and the history books, and you Yuan Fang will leave a name of rebellion! ”

Tuobatao's shouting echoed throughout the hall, which was originally designed to increase the majesty of the king, and now he was faithfully carrying out his mission, at least everyone was shocked.

No matter how precocious Yuan Fang is, he is only a young man in his twenties now, his precociousness is just because of the sophistication impregnated by doing business abroad all the year round, and the "heroic dream" and "fame dream" hidden in the hearts of every boy have never retreated in their hearts.

A person like Xiang Mulan, who is born without ambition, can be said to be rare among the people of this era, because only ambition is the root of human progress!

In front of a natural orator like Tuobatao, this sophisticated young man was actually said to be enthusiastic, and shouted on the spot:

"Who doesn't want to go down in history!"

"Then what do you think?"

Tuoba Tao took the opportunity to ask.

"Of course, it costs money first...... Belch? ”

Wait, something seems wrong.

What about the death that I just made up my mind to speak?

Yuan Fang was taken aback, and looked up at the king on the throne.

Damn it! Lao Tzu was cheated!.
