Nan Kaoru remembered that her father hadn't smiled so heartily for a long time, and it had been a long time since she spoke so confidently, and she thought that her father was very happy, so she also happily said goodbye to the little wooden pier.

Thinking about it now, Nan Xun feels very emotional, time has passed, the vicissitudes of life, everyone is no longer what they were at the beginning, and now they are not the stupid child, but have become, a dashing and dignified bastard.

She is not the same little girl as before, but she has become less cheerful and joyful than before, she has become a little dull and quiet, preferring to sit alone in the corner and think about things quietly.

Maybe this is the price of growth, in the past few years, Nan Xun has experienced too many things, although she has always been strong enough, but her personality has quietly changed slightly.

And the burden on her body makes her not have too much leisure, she has to think about many things every day, and some things have to be considered repeatedly, so as to stabilize the foundation of the Nan family.

Fortunately, Nan Xun has an extraordinary mind, so he can manage the career of the Nan family in an orderly manner.

If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold on for a long time, in this area of the imperial city, all kinds of forces are intertwined, and everyone wants to occupy a place here, so if one is not good, it will end up in pieces, and it is not easy to make the career bigger and bigger steadily.

Nan Xun stroked the baby heart ring in his hand, pondered in his heart, and felt that he should assess the situation in Luoyang City, and then decide on his future actions, otherwise he would be caught off guard by the sudden situation.

Come to think of this. Nan Xun got up, sorted out the thoughts that had just been disturbed by Yan Shao, and took Xiao Er to the General's Mansion.

Nan Xun believes that if the second prince wants to have any plan, he will definitely go to the general, after all, according to the general's ability, if he guards Luoyang, there are probably not many people in this world who can defeat Luoyang.

When he arrived at the General's Mansion, the General did not return to the Mansion. But in the palace has not yet returned.

Nan Xun and Frost. and Ziling sat together and chatted, Nan Xun asked Ziling first, is this baby heart ring really not dangerous to people.

Ziling was sure to tell Sù Nan Kaoru that there was nothing dangerous about it. At most, the owners of a pair of rings can sense each other's position. Besides. It doesn't have the slightest effect on people.

This position is also an approximate location, and it is not possible to know in detail what the other party is doing.

Nan Xun nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved, this is given to me by Yan Shao." I always feel that this remark has some other purpose, and now that it has been determined, it is nothing. ”

"Hmm." Ziling nodded.

Nan Xun suddenly thought of something, so he asked Ziling: "Hey, are you so sure, are you also refining!?" ”

"Hmm!" Ziling nodded again.

Nan Xun nodded clearly, no wonder Ziling would understand, since she said that it was something that she hadn't seen for hundreds of years, she could know it, and she must know the refining of this thing.

"You haven't refined it too, have you?!"

"Nope!" Ziling shook her head and said, "It's too evil, it's detrimental to the way of heaven!" ”

Nan Xun was shocked, she didn't expect Ziling to understand this Heavenly Dao, it seems that she knows the culture of the Central Plains very well, after thinking about it, Nan Xun understands that this should be all her father's credit.

I remember, on the Zi family's Gu art cheats, there seems to be a sentence that is, pointing at the common people obliquely and asking, who dares to try my Gu!

This sentence is modeled after the poems of the Central Plains, although it is not very colorful, but it can already reveal domineering and self-confidence, as well as the heroism that looks at the world.

Ziling's father loves the culture of the Central Plains so much, and Ziling, who was cultivated by him as an inheritor since he was a child, must know a lot about the culture of the Central Plains.

After that, the three of them talked for a while, and the general walked in through the door.

Three women, standing up.

"I've seen the General!"

"Husband, you're back!"

“……”

The general stepped over to the table and sat down, and instead of responding to them, he lowered his head and sighed.

Shuang'er hurriedly poured him a cup of tea, handed it over and said, "What's the matter, husband, sighing so much!?" ”

The general shook his head again and again, and after a long time, he took a sip of tea and said, "It's not because of the quarrel with that Li Qingyu above the court." ”

"Huh!?" Shuang'er said, "Why did you quarrel, then why did Li Qingyu dare to quarrel with you!?" ”

"He is now a celebrity around the emperor, isn't it a trivial matter to quarrel with me, if what he says makes sense, I won't care, but what he says is all, and he is also strong, he simply has no demeanor of an old prime minister!"

Nan Xun smiled and asked, "Dare to ask the general, how did you quarrel with that Li Gong, Eh, Li Chengxiang!?" ”

"Don't call him Prime Minister Li Cheng, he doesn't have that qualification at all, I know that I am a martial artist and I don't know much about governing the country, but I know what the world is for the public and what is for the benefit of the people, do you know what Li Qingyu said today?!"

Nan Xun and Frost asked together, "What!?" ”

The general slapped the table and said angrily: "That guy actually played the emperor and asked the emperor to increase taxes, I will say, the world has been stable for many years, but the people are still not rich, if the taxes are increased now, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people!" ”

"Yes," Nan Xun nodded and said, "This tax is a very important thing for the people, Mingzong has always implemented a tax reduction policy before, as soon as these three princes come up, they will be aggravated, I am afraid it will make the people of the world feel cold!" ”

The general said: "What's even more infuriating is that the tax is added by 30%, what is this for, it is clear that the people are not allowed to live, if this is really implemented, it will inevitably lead to chaos in the world." ”

"However, why did Li Qingyu increase taxes, why did he say it?!"

Of course, I said it, and it was high-sounding, saying that it was for the sake of the country. Saying that people are rich, it is easy to think cranky, so it is necessary to increase taxes and let people spend their minds on farming to make a living, so that naturally there will not be so many experiences to think about some messy things, so that the world will be easy to govern, you all listen, is this what the prime minister should say, it is just nonsense! ”

"The Three Emperors. Forehead. What did the emperor say!? Nan Kaoru asked.

What's even more infuriating is that the emperor didn't object, although he didn't agree on the spot, he just said that he was considering it in the future. It's obvious that it won't work. What else to consider. It's a strategy that can't be implemented at all......"

The more the general spoke, the more angry he became, the green tendons in his hands bulged, and he almost wanted to crush the cup in his hand.

Nan Xun said: "Maybe the emperor is not happy. After all, it seems that Li Qingyu has a good relationship with the emperor, and the two of them are probably very close, in front of so many ministers in the court, the emperor always has to give him a little face! ”

After hearing this, the general nodded slightly, and his anger seemed to be less so: "Perhaps, but this decree must not be promulgated." ”

"I believe that the emperor can also figure it out, husband, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry!" Frost comforted the general on the side.

Nan Xun was also puzzled in his heart, there is a saying that is very right, the new official took office with three fires, but Li Qingyu played a bit big with this fire, if this is not played well, the entire dynasty can be shattered by him.

Speaking of which, Nam Kaoru is a businessman, and she knows a lot about taxation, and she understands how important the tax policy of a dynasty is, he is an important source of the royal treasury, and it is also related to the daily life of the people.

But if this is not well coordinated, it will lead to the collapse of the entire pillar of the country.

If the tax is too small, the treasury will not be full enough, and naturally there will be no money to equip the army, build fortresses, and repair water conservancy, and the national strength of the whole country will be greatly reduced.

If the taxes are too heavy, and there are hungry people all over there, and the people are not able to make a living, there will be many people who will jump out and rebel, even if it is not a rebellion, you will also go to fight and rob the house, and if you don't do it, you will die.

I don't know what Li Qingyu is having, calculated, over the years, people's lives have been stable, and they have gradually improved, I don't want to be so sad when the world was in turmoil before, but it has not yet reached the point of prosperity, if you want to increase taxes from now on, I am afraid that there will be a lot of grievances.

Moreover, this plus is added to three percent, which is not a small amount, let alone three percent, even if it is added to one or two percent, people will instantly feel that life is tight and they can't do anything.

Then, they will guide these merchants to agree that if they are not profitable, they will naturally not be able to pay much tax to the government, so if the cycle continues for a long time, the country will not be long in coming!

Nan Xun couldn't help but think contemptuously in her heart, this Li Qingyu didn't seem to be what they thought before, he didn't seem to be suitable for the position of prime minister at all, she was with few words before, no, it should be said that she said that she was less, and she spoke highly of Li Qingyu, saying that this Li Qingyu was Qu Cai.

But now it seems that Li Qingyu is simply a commanding and rhetorical kid, and it is estimated that if he is asked to say anything about policies and state decrees, he can say the truth, and he will not think about the feasibility of these things at all.

I don't even think about whether these national policies are right or wrong.

Nan Xun thought of the pictures she had seen before in the jade lock given to him by the second prince, she believed that Li Qingyu should not be a general, after all, he could plot with the third prince to assassinate Mingzong, and he had such a plan for a long time, which showed that he should be called a hero, but unfortunately, in the position of prime minister, he did not show the corresponding strength at all.

There is a small cong, but no great wisdom.

Such a person has no idea that Nan Xun has an eyesight.

Nan Xun then sighed and said, "I'm afraid that what if the emperor trusts Li Qingyu and insists on implementing such a policy!?" ”

The general gritted his teeth and said, "Then don't blame me!" ”

Nan Xun was taken aback and said, "General, you want to ......"

"What do you want!?" The general looked at Kaoru.

At this time, Shuang'er on the side said: "Rebellion, anyway, I looked at the third prince, oh yes, plus, and Li Qingyu, these people are not pleasing to the eye at all!" ”

The general smiled and said: "No need, I still have a secret decree from Mingzong in my hand, if what the third prince does after inheriting the throne is contrary to benevolence and righteousness, then I can open this secret decree, depose his throne, and set up a new monarch!" ”

"Oh," Nan Kaoru nodded, "It's just that Mr. General doesn't have a single soldier in his hands, so I'm afraid this secret decree may not have the effect it should have." ”

"Hahaha," the general laughed heartily, "I don't know anything else, I don't dare to boast about Haikou, but, in this army, my words are still very useful, even if I don't have a talisman, if I force them to say that they want to fight with me, they will not hesitate to join me!" ”

Nan Xun nodded, she believed the words of the general, because at that time, the soldiers would not read the talismans, they relied on the deep friendship with the general, and also believed that the general would not take them to do things that hurt the heavens and reason.

This point is the difference between the general and the second prince, it is estimated that the soldiers brought out by the second prince, if there is no military talisman, no one can command it, and even the second prince himself may not be able to command.

After all, just like the second prince himself said before, he was too harsh and harsh in leading soldiers, with a single board and a glance, without violating the rules, such a soldier is, of course, a good soldier.

We can't say what kind of soldier is the best, we can only say that these two kinds of soldiers are good soldiers, and the difference is only a difference in style.

In other words, the general's soldiers are good at attacking, and only this kind of soldiers who can arouse feelings can be invincible and invincible on the battlefield.

And the soldiers of the second prince are better at guarding, they take the atmosphere of meticulous strict prohibition, and will guard the city like an iron wall, without leaking the slightest flaw, just like a machine, every part is running without difference, no matter who you are, after seeing it, if you want to dismantle, you will feel that you have no way to start.

"Then if the emperor really promulgated this decree, who does the general think will be the new monarch in the future?!"

"Second prince, who else can it be!"

Sure enough, as Nan Xun expected, the general is really an upright person, what a good opportunity in front of him, anyway, most of Mingzong's rivers and mountains were beaten down by the general, the three princes are not benevolent, he abolished the three princes, and it is okay for him to sit in that position, at most, some stubborn ministers will say a few words, and the people will definitely applaud.

As for the second prince, if he really has no interest in the throne as he said before, then he will definitely not object to the general sitting on the throne.

However, the general didn't have this idea at all, and directly said that he planned to let the second prince inherit it.

Nan Xun said: "The second prince, yes, although he is not Mingzong's own flesh and blood, but he is also Mingzong's righteous son, if the third prince is not benevolent, then he can only be allowed to come." (To be continued.) )
