Chapter 294: Sincerely for the Country

The last migrants are Hou Hou Tofu Xi Shi, who is now respected as Zhao Ji, and two concubines, Qianqian of Wei and Wu Duo of Loudi.

What does the name Wuduo mean, Zhao Xing didn't know, and he didn't have time to care, he knew that this pungent and fierce woman was not convinced by Zhao Ji.

But in several jealous wars between Zhao Ji and Wu Duo, Wu Duo only surrendered obediently. Therefore, he also gave birth to a fat boy to Zhao Xing and named him a citizen. Zhao Min. I'm also three years old this year.

The family migrated over, Zhao Xing ran to the grassland to greet him, and the husband and wife and concubines and children met each other, of course, it was a joy.

Zhao Ji got out of the car to accompany her husband to walk on the soft grass, Zhao Ji said: "Now, all the money I have in my hands for our family has been consumed in this relocation, and I basically can't count on it in the future." And the most annoying thing is Xu Jie, I arranged for him to go to the princes to ask for debts, but he went to Yan Kingdom first, not only did not ask me to get back the original 20 million money, but gave me 5 million. Then he complained bitterly: "This is a traitor." ”

Xu Jie stood in front of Zhao Xing with his chest up: "Although the minister gave another 5 million, but in exchange for a formal promise from King Yan, that is, to use the ten cities he originally used as a mortgage to repay the original debt, so I agreed to lend him another five million to complete this official map delivery." ”

Zhao Xing said with a smile: "That is to say, now that I, the Tang Dynasty, have 10 more enclaves, does that mean?" ”

Xu Jie immediately retorted: "It should be called a nail, it is a nail, it is a nail, and it was nailed to the intersection of the Yan Kingdom and the Zhao Kingdom in Zhongshan. ”

Zhao Xing turned his head and smiled at his wife and said: "Money is something outside the body, and there is no point in not buying a little land industry." I think Xu Jie is a very resourceful person, and he bought us a large piece of land and property. ”

"Then Zhao Yong's child asked for money, but the money didn't come, but instead took the tax on the first floor of the four clearances, how can you say this?"

Zhao Xing was furious at the time, pointed at Xu Jie and yelled: "We have been driven out by Zhao Guo, I am thundering like thunder for this, you dare to eat inside and out?" ”

Xu Jie said calmly: "I forgave Zhao Guo's debts and gave him an additional 10% of the negative tax income, but I obtained the stable position of the county magistrates we settled in Zhongshan State, and I obtained Zhao Yong's recognition of our policy, isn't this a big profit for us?" ”

Zhao Xing turned his head to his wife and said, "The officials who were originally sent out are all retainers of our family, and I think it is worth it for Xu Jie to find them a stable job." The cession of the tax of the second brother and the fourth customs clearance should be regarded as a payment to our retainers. Then he said with a relaxed face: "Who gives is not giving, for the retainers, we must do it from beginning to end, and we must be kind." ”

"Then what's the matter with giving another million aid to South Korea for the sake of one person?"

"Is one person worth 1 million? You say, how many kickbacks did you take? Zhao Xing jumped to his feet.

Xu Jie said: "Han Feizi." ”

Zhao Xing immediately turned his head to his wife and said, "Han Feizi, not only one million, five million is worth it." ”

"Then why don't you want the debts of the Qi country, but only in exchange for a share of our salt and iron can be sold to other princes, without being blocked by them, do we have salt and iron?"

There is no need to ask his wife again, Zhao Xing and Xu Jie glanced at each other, and then smiled: "Yes, there will be bread, everything will be there, Ouye." ”

The founding of the country, the real founding of the country, Zhao Xing and Xu Jie began to plan for things after the founding of the country.

In the secret room, there were only Zhao Xing and Xu Jie. This is a real secret room.

Zhao Xing was lying on the bed, Xu Jie was sitting in front of the fiery brazier and picking his feet, and the two monarchs and ministers replied to each other. This is very picturesque of later Tang Taizong and Wei Zhengzhong discussing the world.

"Datang Datang, we want to take the lead and claim the king directly." This is Zhao Xing's feeling, he feels like he is the king and has a lot of face.

Xu Jie deducted his feet, and finally put it under his nose and sniffed it, and enjoyed it very much: "Only by respecting the king can you achieve the overlord of Qi and respond to the Son of Heaven, and only then can you have the two-hundred-year hegemony of the Jin Kingdom." Now that the Son of Heaven is weak, the etiquette is broken, which is indeed true. But the king must know a fundamental thing, Zhou Tianzi can not be valued by the princes, but in the aristocratic and scholar class, they are still the object of respect, and in the hearts of the people, Zhou Tianzi is still the co-lord of the world. And the most important thing is that the 800-year-old weekly rites that have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people are still the moral rules that bind all walks of life in the world.

The old vassal states can despise all this, because they have that kind of capital, after all, in their respective vassal states, in their hearts, most people only know the princes and kings and do not know the Son of Heaven. But like the emerging us, we are already a thorn in the side of the vassal states, if we do these things that do not follow the Zhou etiquette, not only will it become an excuse for other vassal states to crusade against us, but more importantly, we will lose the hearts of all strata of the entire Central Plains, even if this people's heart is only one in a hundred, we must cherish it.

As a king and a candidate, for you, is it necessary for you to eat less food, or let you drink less soup? ”

Zhao Xing lay comfortably on the bed, thought for a while, and said: "A scholar is a scholar, your nature is to achieve the goal, and you will not hesitate to use any means. ”

"As long as we achieve our goal, it is our greatest desire, so why care about anything else? Actually, I understand the king's thoughts, the country is the Tang Dynasty, and the title of the Tang King is quite cool for you. But just for the sake of his own fame, but he lost a lot of things, is it worth it? "Now Xu Jie's way of speaking is more and more like Zhao Xing, this is the origin of the so-called near-footed red, near-ink black.

Zhao Xing smiled: "The one who knows me is still you?" In fact, I feel that it is called the Tang Empire, which is very popular, but it can't bring me anything real. ”

Then he smiled and said to Xu Jie: "There is one more thing, and that is the issue of rewarding merit." ”

Xu Jie was silent, and continued to pick his feet, picking his feet without anything, comfortable.

Zhao Xing said in a slow voice: "I have come from a feudal monarch step by step to today, although there are my own efforts and opportunities, but it is also due to the efforts of the courtiers. This time the country was founded, and you all deserve to be rewarded with actual knighthoods.

The Son of Heaven was knighted, and he was the fifth level of the male prince and uncle. We are marquises, since we don't want to violate the Zhou etiquette, we can only divide them according to the titles of the princes, that is, the secretary and the doctor, and the three classes above have three classes, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is also what everyone desires to become nobles. ”

Xu Jie trembled a little excitedly, because he was about to achieve the goal he had worked so hard to achieve and become a rightful nobleman.

"However, you also know that today's reform has become a must, and if you stick to the rules, you will lose the country, and the biggest obstacle to change is the ancient aristocracy, and there is the hereditary system, and the reason why our Tang Dynasty is developing fast and there is no obstacle in the development is that we don't have the aristocracy."

Xu Jie's mind was raised, and he straightened up and asked, "Does the monarch want to implement the aristocratic system here with us?" ”

Zhao Xing smiled and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

After thinking for a while, Xu Jie finally gritted his teeth and said: "In order for the Tang Dynasty to finally be called the Tang Empire, I support the abolition of the feudal system, that is, the abolition of the aristocratic system." When he said this, Xu Jie was about to cry.

What he has been striving for all his life is the aristocracy, but he took the initiative to give up at this time, how could he not let Xu Jie's liver hurt.

Zhao Xing got out of bed in his clothes, pulled on his shoes, sat opposite Xu Jie, and sighed with emotion: "Those who are truly for the country and the monarch are not my good buddy Xu Jie." ”

Xu Jie was about to cry at that time, not moved by what Zhao Xing said, but sad for his abandonment.
