Chapter 159: The Turtle Son with Broken Roots
Sichuan farmers don't have to pay taxes, and they also divide the land, and there are such good things? Both Ling Kun and Zhao Mingyue were shocked.
"Of course, it's a good thing that our court of the Great Shu Kingdom has done." The old man's son answered: "The current emperor is good, in Shu is rich and poor, and we ordinary people can live a good life." ”
"What do you kid know?" The old man replied dissatisfiedly: "The rich and the poor, and the land are not proposed by the current emperor, but they have been proposed when the first emperor Xiaobo started the incident, and you were not born at that time." ”
The son did not dare to answer, the old man continued: "Shu is fertile, since ancient times there is a heavenly mansion, more than 20 years ago, the Song Dynasty court fought for many years, the treasury was empty, so they went to Sichuan to levy heavy taxes, making the people miserable, my uncle was arrested and killed in prison because he couldn't pay taxes." Later, the first emperor of Shu State got up, proposed to be rich and poor, all fields, at that time people were forced to live, rather than waiting to be beheaded and imprisoned, it was better to rebel, the result was a hundred responses, the establishment of the Great Shu Kingdom, but the good times did not last long, within a few years, the Great Song Dynasty sent the broken root of Wang Jien to come, so the Great Shu Kingdom was destroyed. We originally thought that the Great Shu Kingdom would die like that, but we didn't expect that the son of the first emperor suddenly appeared last year, and with hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals, he occupied Sichuan overnight. The old man said happily.
The old lady sighed on the side and said, "Hey, it's better to have a land and not pay taxes, but I'm afraid that in a few days, another son with a broken turtle will come to destroy the Shu Kingdom." ”
When Ling Kun heard the old lady say this, he suddenly felt goosebumps on his body, and he couldn't help but glance at his bottom. Isn't he Ling Kun the turtle son who was sent to pacify Sichuan?
Zhao Mingyue frowned and asked, "Uncle, Shu doesn't collect taxes, what do their hundreds of thousands of troops eat and drink?" Where does their money come from? ”
"We ordinary people don't know about this, anyway, we don't need our people's."
Zhao Mingyue nodded and stopped talking.
The old man then said: "I see, you two should not go back to Chengdu this time, stay in Sichuan, and have a good life." ”
"Uncle, I don't think this thing will last long, maybe it was just used to buy people's hearts at the beginning of the Shu Kingdom, and when it is stable in the future, it will definitely collect taxes, otherwise they will eat and drink
Where Lazar spends his money, and the fact that he does not collect taxes is unreasonable, which has not been seen since ancient times. Zhao Mingyue analyzed.
The old man lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Girl, you have a point, but it's a good day, it's good to let our people take a breath, as for who sits in the world, we don't care." ”
As they spoke, the old man said, "There are many people in the family, there is no extra room, only a small guest room, you brothers and sisters can live together." ”
Zhao Mingyue glanced at Ling Kun, wanting to oppose but couldn't. Ling Kun said happily: "Okay, uncle, it's already good to go out." ”
The old man sent the two into the guest room, the house was not large, there was only a bed, a simple table and a bench, and the bedding on the bed was clean and tidy.
The old man said a few words and went out. Zhao Mingyue looked at Ling Kun and asked, "How do you sleep here?" ”
Ling Kun smiled: "Of course we slept together, otherwise how could we sleep?" ”
"No, you sleep on the ground." Zhao Mingyue said.
"Then what's the matter, it's so cold on the ground, what if something goes wrong with the cold?" Ling Kun said aggrievedly.
"This." Zhao Mingyue hesitated, pouted and said, "Then what should I do?" ”
"Let's sleep together, I promise to sleep honestly." Ling Kun leaned over and sat on the edge of the bed and begged.
Zhao Mingyue glared at him and said fiercely: "Turtle son, if you dare to be dishonest, I will ask you to cut off your roots and take over Wang Jien's class." ”
"Sss Ling Kun gasped, put his hands back obediently, made the bed and slept on the side. Zhao Mingyue saw that he was sleeping honestly, so she blew out the candle and lay down with her back to Ling Kun. But his heart was pounding, sleeping in the same bed with this bold disciple, and he didn't know what would happen, if he used force, how could he resist?
Ling Kun closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, but his chest was also pounding, although he had taken advantage of a lot of cheekiness these days, it was the first time he had shared a bed like this. Should I do something, or should I not do something? That's a problem.
The two lay down back to back, their bodies stiff, but their hearts were alive, and neither of them could sleep. In less than half an hour, Ling Kun felt that he had to change his position, so he slowly turned over and lay down.
Zhao Mingyue saw Ling Kun turn over, and she also turned it lightly
, it's much more comfortable now.
The two hands between the two were close together, unconsciously getting closer and closer, and finally Zhao Mingyue's spring-like jade hand was swallowed by Ling Kun's big hand.
Holding hands is no longer a matter for them, but holding hands in such an environment will make him gain an inch? Zhao Mingyue secretly bit her lip and hesitated to shake it off.
If you get rid of it, you can't bear it, if you don't get rid of it, I'm afraid that Ling Kun will kick her nose and face, and the farmers in this countryside will eat and wipe Princess Mingyue clean.
After struggling again and again, I decided that this would be it, and seeing that he slept honestly, he shouldn't be so scoundrel.
Ling Kun was indeed honest, he didn't move for half an hour, but his body was sore, and it was time to turn over, so he slowly turned over and faced Zhao Mingyue.
Zhao Mingyue also felt sore, hesitated for a moment and turned over half of her body, facing Ling Kun face to face.
The two of them were close at hand, breathing each other, and the sound of their heartbeat had shaken the wooden bed slightly, and they had to find something to suppress it, otherwise they would jump out of their chests.
Ling Kun couldn't hold back any longer, and stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Mingyue in his arms.
Zhao Mingyue let out a low sigh and shrank into Ling Kun's arms and never came out.
It turns out that this is the most comfortable sleeping position.
This time, the two finally fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Old Man Sun's family got up early to work, and Ling Kun and Zhao Mingyue were naturally embarrassed to sleep more, so they also got up. Ling Kun gave Old Man Sun a silver ingot and said goodbye, and the old man thanked them and sent them out of the gate.
At this moment, the Sichuan Basin has been in full bloom in spring, lush, the official road is lined with green trees, the flowers are blooming red, and the birds are chirping and singing songs from time to time overhead. There is no sense of rushing at all, just like a couple of lovers walking on a quiet path in the park.
Ling Kun couldn't help but reach out and hold Zhao Mingyue's hand.
Zhao Mingyue glanced at him and said angrily: "You don't have to climb the mountain, why do you hold my hand?" ”
"Hehe, there's still a long way to go, I'm afraid you're tired." Ling Kun said with a smile.
Zhao Mingyue glared, but the corners of her eyes couldn't help but go downward, forming two crescents, and her face was even more red, so she had to turn her face away and let Ling Kun pull her away.
Sure enough, it's not tiring to walk like this.
