Chapter 190: Secret Music

Hearing that the Hu family helped her prepare Aunt Liu's original Jinxin Courtyard, Shen Fang hurriedly excused herself.

"Mother, I'm still used to living in the original Linglong Garden. Jinshin-in is too big, and I can't get used to it. Besides, it's time for the second brother to get married. You might as well renovate Jinxin Temple, and you can also make it your second brother's wedding room in the future. ”

Hearing Shen Fang mention Jin Min's marriage, Hu only felt that one head and two were big. "Your second brother is not home all day long, and I have no way to help him! Alas, I don't know how much I owe him in my last life! He still doesn't think about starting a family, he sincerely wants to anger me! ”

"The second brother has a good temperament, so he should find him a stable and generous person. With a family, maybe the second brother can settle down. Shen Fang tried her best to comfort Hu.

"Who's to say it isn't! It's just that he hasn't been able to write, and he can't do martial arts, and this candidate is really hard to choose! For the time being, he refuses, and I don't force him, as long as he doesn't go out and cause trouble for me, it's fine. Hu shook her head, and she had a headache at the mention of her youngest son.

Seeing that Hu was worried, Shen Fang hurriedly diverted the topic: "Mother, I haven't been back for a long time. Are the flowers and plants in Linglong Garden okay? ”

"I know that you are the most precious of all, your flowers, grass, and so on. Uncle Zhong has always sent someone to take care of it. Hu Shi was a little criticized for her caring about the flowers and plants in the yard.

"Mother's flowers and plants have been with me for more than ten years, and I think they are also reasonable! Don't worry, I can't put them in front of fellow relatives. Shen Fang coquettishly looked at Hu with a hint of coquettishness.

Hearing Shen Fang's coquettish tone, Hu touched her head. It's like when she was still at home. Shen Fang tilted her head slightly and protested: "Mother, I am already married." And now that you've become mothers, can you stop treating me like a child? ”

Looking at the Aijiao Shen Fang, Hu Shi had no way to deal with her. beckoned her to drink water, fearing that she would get tired after a long journey, and soon let her go to rest.

Back at Linglong Garden, Shen Fang felt extremely happy. Finally went home again, living in a room that I was familiar with. Looking at the vibrant flowers and plants in the yard, she felt completely relaxed. This is the difference between being someone's daughter and being someone's daughter-in-law.

Bai Yingtian followed Master Gao to play a game of chess in his study, and analyzed the situation in the capital. I came to see Shen Fang.

Bai Yingtian: This is the first time to visit Shen Fang's boudoir. The first few times they had come and gone. He had never entered Shen Fang's boudoir.

Now that he had entered Shen Fang's boudoir, he couldn't help but be amazed at how beautifully and appropriately furnished it was. Unexpectedly, Shen Fang's house is like this. And Shen Fang also faced Bai Yingtian. Show him the scenery she arranged in the yard. After Shen Fang's guidance. He felt that he seemed to know more about his little wife, and the relationship between the two seemed to be closer than before.

Not to mention the warmth and tranquility of the Gao family here. But said that in the capital, the prince waited for several days, and finally waited for Changfu.

Seeing the booklet that Chang Fu dedicated to him, the prince was very satisfied. "Great work, Steward! Let's go down and claim the prize later! "I heard the prince's praise. Chang Fu was very happy. "Doing things for His Highness is a matter for slaves and maids!" He took the opportunity to show the prince his loyalty and courage.

But. When the prince read the pamphlet, his expression suddenly became solemn. The two good-looking eyebrows frowned tightly.

"It's just a small Panlong County, and there are so many tricks! If I don't come up with a little means, will I really be a bully? ”

Bai Yingtian put forward more than a dozen shortcomings of Panlong County in the booklet. These are all drawn up by him under the guidance of Master Gao. Of course, there are also his own observations.

First of all, it is a necessary item for the people of Panlong County, salt. Because salt is a thing that affects thousands of households, the imperial court has always been extremely strict in control. However, in Panlong County, after paying the salt tax once, when they actually buy salt, they still have to pay an extra 10% of the salt purchase tax. This tax on the purchase of salt did not exist in the capital, and there was no such provision in the Great Xia Dynasty. However, the common people are not very literate, and they have always stayed away from the law. As a result, very few objections have been raised. Moreover, Panlong County has always been relatively rich, so not many people have noticed the 10% surcharge.

However, although it is only one percent, it does not look like much, and it is not conspicuous. However, the small amount adds up, and the people of the entire Panlong County add up to a lot of income. Since this amount of money has not been included in the public middle school, it is naturally impossible for it to enter the state treasury. But such a large sum of silver, a small county guard of Panlong County, would not dare to swallow it privately. Who is the person who dares to do such a thing, it must be ascertained.

The second is about the county school system in Panlong County. Originally, in every county of the Great Xia Dynasty, there was a county school that was specially designed to face the children of the Han family. If a child from a poor family passes the county examination and becomes a child, he can continue his education in the county school and further his studies. During the period of study at the county school, food and lodging were originally free. However, this system is useless in Panlong County. Students who are interested in going to school will not be given preferential treatment at all in the county school, and they will also suffer cold eyes. In order to go further, many people have to travel to other places to study in counties and counties that are able to help students. This is the most criticized by the high master. After the prince saw this, he was also extremely angry. Talent is the foundation of the country, so the country must spare no effort to cultivate talents. Panlong County's approach is clearly cutting off the way for those poor children to go to school. How many talents will the country lose due to this kind of mispander? The prince looked through the information of the county guard of Panlong County, and at the end of his information, he was not surprised to see the shadow of Wei Xiangye's faction.

Next, it was all about people's livelihood, judging cases and other proposals. The prince looked at it roughly and put it down. With such a county guard, it is strange that Panlong County can be decent. Recently, the emperor's health was not very good, and he began to let the crown prince follow him to see things, which was the most obvious signal of cultivating the crown prince to succeed him.

However, the crown prince had obviously underestimated Wei Xiang's energy before. It was only when he looked at things in the court that he realized that as a monarch, there were many compulsions and compromises. In order to maintain the stability and balance of the court, he had to fight wits and courage with his ministers and try to get them to follow his own train of thought. However, in the midst of so many protests and resistance to him, he gradually sorted out some clues. So there was a visit to Panlong County in Changfu. (To be continued.) )
