Zhao Xing, who was lying in the wooden basin, was very tired, his whole body seemed to have been completely drained, and only a pile of rotten meat was left, and he was unwilling to move even a finger.

The well-behaved and beautiful maid constantly tested the temperature of the water in the bathtub with her hands, adding hot water for a while and cold water for a while, so that the water temperature in the bathtub could be suitable for the body.

"Can you use a basin outside, mix the cold and hot water, and then pour it into my tub? Otherwise, you have a basin of cold water, and then a basin of hot water, let me feel the pain of ice and fire, don't you say your conscience hurts? Zhao Xing had to start teaching these maids in a soft voice.

Ancient people were sometimes really stupid, it was such a simple little thing, as long as you sit down and think about it with your brain, you can solve it. But often they don't sit down and think about it, it's actually a summary. The dogma is carried out in the same way that the predecessors have been enacting. Because the ancients were not good at summarizing, it took a long time, or even centuries, to achieve a breakthrough for a small progress.

Now Zhao Xing no longer dares to criticize them for being stupid. At the beginning, I did this, but the result was not the aggrieved crying of these little maids, but the direct and sincere fear of seeking death and life, for which there was almost hanging, if it was not found in time, it would have caused death.

Although in this era, a nobleman does not even leave the heart of his feet for the life or death of a maid, that is, a slave. For a guest to appreciate the beauty of a maid's hands, he immediately cut off the maid's hands and gave them to the guest, which was not only not despised and condemned, but became a beautiful conversation.

Zhao Xing can't do this, after all, he has the simple values of later generations, in Zhao Xing's thoughts, in fact, if the guest likes that hand, even the owner of that hand will give it to him. Wouldn't it be better to have a fresh hand appear in front of that guest from time to time? But he didn't think about it, and he didn't think about it, if he gave the owner of these hands to that guest, would the owner of these hands live worse than die? Because he came to this world, sometimes the things he thinks about are getting closer and closer to the people of this world, and to the philosophy of this world.

For example, if he hadn't given his beautiful performance yesterday, if he hadn't stopped himself, and hadn't followed the rules of the world now, he would have no chance to lie here and bathe in warm bath water, and it would be very likely that he would have been lying on a mass grave.

When he thought of yesterday's gamble, while feeling the magnificence, he also felt extremely excited.

It was not the kings and the ministers who were excited that he recognized his ideas; He was excited that he reported the income from this gambling later, which was very insignificant.

Being a rich uncle in the Warring States is Zhao Xing's ultimate goal, assisting a king and becoming an emperor through the ages, which is just a sideline. Something to piggyback.

Of course, if you can be a rich uncle in the Warring States and a powerful uncle, it will be perfect.

Considering that politics is too troublesome, it is happiest to count money, so Zhao Xing chose to do happy things.

Pocketing all the property of a clan who can afford to support two thousand families and three thousand family servants is a huge wealth in itself.

And a gamble will fail, that is when everyone warms up, and the loss is very small, which can be described as a drizzle.

The second bet on fighting horses, Zhao Xing's unexpected saddle stirrup, almost won all over Handan City, and even the Queen Mother did not let go. Under such odds, Zhao Xing became the richest man in Zhao overnight.

"The queen mother's money is her old man's own money, and we will return it in full, well-plus a little loss of fading and wear, just double the amount. The monarch's? We're going to follow the rules, let's laugh at it. ”

Some people can't reach out for their money, even if they win it from gambling. In the next life, it is your honor to gamble with your superiors and lose money, and this truth is applicable everywhere, otherwise when you just put the leader's money into your pocket, the blindfold and small shoes are already on the way to the frenzy.

Xu Jie and Han Ce thought so, so they arranged a sum in the account book, and ordered the most clever person to send it back quietly, hoping that the Queen Mother could eat an extra bowl of meat soup tonight.

It is the responsibility of a courtier to let the queen mother eat well and be in a good mood. This is filial piety.

As for the mood of the monarch, that's the details, don't care, a little kid, has no concept of money.

"The odds of Zongzheng, Feiyi Lechi and others, also hurry up and calculate it with the referee, and don't be bad." When he said this, Zhao Xing thought that Zongzheng and Feiyi's gang of guys had taken advantage of themselves in vain, and he hated them at that time, and let them take the money plainly, so he felt distressed, so he muttered: "This group of old guys has made me lose a lot, and I should deduct taxes and then hand them over to the treasury." ”

Xu Jie said distressedly: "In that case, we can only follow up with the tax deduction." ”

Zhao Xing stood up and thought for a while: "Gambling tax deduction, this policy should be implemented, this is a little bit of a commission for those who do not work hard, so that they can make some contributions to the country." Standard, according to two percent. If they take out some of the money for nothing, they won't feel distressed. In this way, at the end of the year, the treasury will have a huge revenue. ”

Xu Jie also thought about it, and then thought so. "Good law, do it. Now I'm going to calculate how much we have to pay. ”

"Why did we turn it in?" Zhao Xing looked at Xu Jie in surprise, thinking that he was an idiot.

"Didn't you just say that?"

Zhao Xing patiently explained to him: "The introduction of a policy requires me to carefully consider the whole situation before it can be submitted to the monarch, and then discussed and discussed in the court before it can be implemented." ”

Xu Jie anxiously asked for the country: "Then when will you submit it?" ”

Zhao Xing thought for a moment: "Next spring." ”

Han Ce nodded: "The Lord is really a steady and rigorous person." ”

Xu Jie reminded Zhao Xing: "The lord's money is enough, so much that it has made all the nobles of the entire Zhao country jealous, and it is to avoid disaster by taking it out and contributing some to the country." ”

Zhao Xing stopped, and then said to Xu Jie: "The method you gave me is not to avoid trouble, but to increase the hatred of scholars and nobles." ”

Xu Jie didn't understand.

"It's a shame that you're still from the Xihe School, the Xihe School - ah, he's no longer Confucian, but more Legalist. Therefore, you are no longer considered a disciple of Confucius. But Confucius's criticism of Zigong's remarks, haven't you also studied it? ”

Everyone knows the allusion of Zigong sending slaves.

"Is the idea you gave me any different from this allusion? The state needs to tax the gaming income justifiably, and I pay it according to the regulations, which is called the rules. But I was uneasy because I had received such a large sum of money, and I took the initiative to donate, which was a bad precedent. When the time comes, everyone who makes a profit from gambling will donate it, and there will be unwilling people who hate me. Spending money to buy stupid things of hatred, I will not do it, I am angry at your character who is bent on harming the Lord, Zhao Hu - forget it, forget it. At the mention of Zhao Hu, Zhao Xing's expression looked lost again.

He came to this world alone, Junqiu 300 scholars, was his first batch of family, Zhao Hu's honesty and loyalty, so that Zhao Xing never forget. Every time he thinks of Zhao Hu, who committed suicide in order to protect his reputation, Zhao Xing will feel very guilty and his mood will be very low.

Xu Jie continued to suggest: "And Zhao's second family, now there is not even a burning stick, which makes many people feel a kind of pity for their family. Since the lord has a lot of money, people have become jealous, and Zhao's family has won the sympathy of many people. So why doesn't the Lord show your kindness and forgiveness? Return an inconspicuous garden and a small piece of land to the family of Zhao Laoer's family, so that they can survive. In this way, you will win the praise of the world for your magnanimity. You are already a nobleman, you should be a model of an aristocratic gentleman. ”

Zhao Xing was not really annoyed by Xu Jie's always bad ideas, because he knew that Xu Jie was just standing on the moral basis of this era and really thinking about himself.

But Zhao Xing had the idea of transforming the scholars of this era, so he asked him with slanted eyes: "A garden, a small piece of land, for me now, of course, there is no more than him, no less." However, I took it out and returned it to Zhao Laoer's family, and I may have obtained the approval of the noble gentlemen for me. But can I get the gratitude of Zhao's family? Can I get them to stop hating me? ”

Xu Jie thought for a while, then shook his head sensibly: "No." ”

Zhao Xing snorted: "Since I took out something, but I still get hatred, then I am equivalent to letting my enemies have a chance to retaliate against me with my food, am I so stupid?" In fact, everyone in the world should admire me, because I didn't beat the water dogs, I didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, this is enough to show my leniency, do you want me to do something more? ”

Xu Jie was speechless.

This is the moral standard of Zhao Xing in later generations, and the difference is too great for Xu Jie to turn around for a while. After all, the later generations have long lost the tolerance of gentlemen, and replaced them with villains.
