41 clan malpractices. The old rule, don't abandon the text, give more rewards

After a ** love, both sides were a little physically exhausted, and Xi Fei lay on Ji Xi's broad chest weakly with fragrant sweat, listening to his surging heartbeat, extremely relieved, and chuckled: "Lord Hou really took great pains to prepare such a scene for his concubine tonight." ”

Ji Xi rubbed Xi Fei's jade back with his hand, and said with a smile: "It's nothing to think about without effort, the main thing is that are madam, are you satisfied?" If you are satisfied, then my intentions have not been in vain. ”

"How can I not be satisfied, the mystery set by the Hou Ye, let the attendant come and invite me, so that I was suspicious for a while and did not dare to go with me, I thought about it for a while, and then it was the chamberlain who proposed to let General Yuan Hong drive on his behalf, I will be suspicious, I guess this is also the suggestion of the Hou Ye. Just a second before entering the bamboo house, Yin Meng gave me a dagger to defend myself with peace of mind! ”

After hearing this, Ji Xi laughed, flicked the bridge of Xi Fei's nose, and said softly: "You, it's just that you're too suspicious, don't I know you yet, a waiter for no reason invited you over in the name of the Hou Ye, you must be strange, you will definitely not believe it, and then you will make all kinds of suspicions, but it will be troublesome." Yuan Hong's martial arts are convincing, and you praised him some time ago, if you let him drive, you will naturally feel much more at ease. ”

Xi Feijiao laughed, "Master Hou really sees the concubines thoroughly!" Xi Fei turned over, lay flat beside Ji Xi, pulled the thin blanket on the side to cover her smooth body, turned her head through the window beside her, looked at the vast starry sky outside the window, and thought deeply, "Lord Hou I am working in the fields with that woman today, and I have heard a lot of news from it as the mother of the country, and a lot of it has to make the monarch and ministers introspect!" ”

Ji Xi turned sideways, hugged Xi Fei, and asked with a smile, "Tell me, what did you find?" ”

Xi Fei recalled the situation during the day, tried hard to conceive the words, her expression was slightly sad, and said gloomily: "I asked the woman about the harvest of the past few years during the day, and learned that in recent years, I have had a bumper harvest in the country, but their life is still rich and insufficient. ”

Ji Xi replied casually: "Then just wait for me to go back and reduce the taxes, so that they can be more or less relaxed." ”

Xi Fei shook her head, her brows were deeply locked, and she said sternly: "The problem is not this, it is more serious than this." I checked this tax some time ago when the big scale was played, and it was not very harsh, and if it was a good harvest, it should be affordable, but today I learned from the conversation with the woman that the amount reported is not the same as the amount collected, that is to say, the clan relatives of this country set the amount of tax among the people, forced the people to pay, and made the people poor, but when they were to hand it over, they lied about the amount, and stole it from it to fill their own pockets, and I don't know how much the people's fat and ointment were swallowed, so that the people thought that it was the lord of the country who was miserable and inhumane, and did not care about the people's livelihood, ruining the prestige of our great power. ”

The more Xi Fei spoke, the more angry she became, what she was most unaccustomed to was that these palace nobles abused their private power, and she was the most angry because of personal reasons that damaged the whole, and when it came to the end, she was too emotional, and slapped her palm on the bed, making a muffled sound.

Ji Xi's eyes were full of tenderness, stretched out his arm and grabbed Xi Fei's hand, a little distressed, and said to Xi Fei lovingly: "Zhai'er, why bother to be so angry, this kind of thing can be done when we go back, you haven't recovered yet, I didn't want you to worry about this, but I also know that I can't persuade you, so I didn't stop it, I still hope you can protect yourself, you just worry too much, there will be a way to deal with the affairs of the clan, don't be too anxious." ”

Ji Xi's relief didn't bring much help to Xi Fei, Xi Fei sighed again, and said slowly: "These clansmen in Xi Guo really want to be rectified and rectified, they are all a group of people who eat dry rice and don't do practical things. The agricultural tools in the hands of the common people are not refined, rough and clumsy, and it is difficult to hold in their hands, and it is inconvenient to use, so that the efficiency is low. If the crops in the field are not collected in time, then it will be abandoned and wasted, it is really a pity, in order to avoid it, the people have to work in the fields day and night, working all day under the scorching sun, it is really heart-wrenching. ”

"Then why didn't these people report to the officials and let them improve it?"

Xi Fei's eyebrows were a little angry, a little unhappy, and he reprimanded: "Why didn't you report it, but those officials are not good goods, they shirk it, they don't care, and the people have to complain about the tools in their hands." In vain, the people of the country worked tirelessly, for the sake of the country, but those palace nobles turned a blind eye, and the warblers sang and indulged in sensuality, and some of them filled their own pockets, which was very hateful. The concubine is really heartbroken...... If this goes on for a long time, the great cause of my kingdom will be ruined! ”

If these facts are not known to Xi Fei today, I am afraid that Ji Xi will never know, hearing that his subordinates are doing things like this, the clan officials treat the people like floating things, Ji Xi is really angry, these inside stories are really too dark, he has not been in the palace for many years on the throne, and there are many things that are done by the clan relatives, how can these hardships be known, but what he saw with his own eyes today, what he heard with his own ears, and his heart was full of emotions, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his dereliction of duty, "Ben Hou is ashamed, I am the lord of the country, But let the people live this kind of life, it really shouldn't be, and after going back, I will definitely make up a new strategy to comfort the people. ”

Xi Fei turned around, stared at Ji Xi's black eyes in the moonlight, and said with emotion: "It is a blessing that the people of my Xi country can have a Ming Jun like Hou Ye, although Hou Ye is young and ascends the throne, but as long as Hou Ye adheres to this heart, it is about the people, and the heart is about the people, and in the long run, my Xi Kingdom will rise." ”

Ji Xi closed his eyes slightly, hugged the jade man in his arms, and said softly: "Borrow Mrs. Jiyan!" ”

The people lined up neatly on both sides of the street, looking at the procession of Ji Xi's return to the palace with respectful eyes, and the clan relatives fell behind in turn.

The expressions on the faces of the people on the street were different, either happy or sad, slightly flattered, slightly depressed, but behind these many expressions, without exception were all emotions, taken by the Son of Heaven's Long Wei, Ji Xi couldn't help but feel a little cold, the people still did not accept him, but they were afraid of the monarch's authority. He immediately clenched his right hand and vowed in his heart that in this life, he would be a monarch who was sincerely welcomed by all the people.

Xi Fei felt Ji Xi's strange appearance, looked up, and happened to see Ji Xi's firm eyes, and couldn't help but smile knowingly, leaning on Ji Xi slightly, looking forward to her rise as a husband.

But a commotion interrupted the complacency.

The carriage where Xi Fei was sitting suddenly paused, almost overturning, Ji Xi and Xi Fei exclaimed in surprise, and quickly leaned out and asked, "What happened, what's going on?" ”

The attendant who drove the car was frightened, and replied tremblingly: "The slave drove the car, and I don't know where a person ran out, and the slave immediately tightened the reins, and the horse was in pain and bounced half a foot, so the carriage was bumpy, which frightened the lord and his wife, and the slave deserved to die." ”

"We're out of the way, but we don't know if the person who rushed out was hurt?" With that, Xi Fei stepped out of the carriage and came to the front to look at the man lying on the ground.

A girl, in such a late autumn, the clothes on her body are thin and tattered, she looks like a hard-working person, she should be thinking of rushing out today to ask for a charity, but she never expected it to be like this, looking at the girl on the ground, Xi Fei couldn't bear it for a while, and sighed lightly: "Alas, it's really hard, I don't know if I'm injured?" Then he turned to the crowd on both sides of the street and asked, "Does anyone know this man?" ”

Both shook their heads, Xi Fei frowned and lowered her head to look at the girl lying on the ground, and once again confirmed: "Isn't there anyone who knows this girl?" ”

Still no one responded, Concubine Xi hesitated slightly, "Master Hou, since no one knows her, let's take her back to the palace, just let it go here for a while, no one cares, and I don't know if she is injured, take it back to her and show her, I am issuing a document, if there are some relatives, I will come to claim it." How is it? ”

"Okay, just do it."
