Chapter 744: Old Clothes

After this banquet, in order to calm the unhappiness in everyone's hearts, Shi Bin decided to give each person a 'Danshu Iron Coupon' (gold medal for avoiding death). The ability of the 'Danshu Iron Ticket' to avoid death is determined by the title of the holder.

The descendants of the founding princes of the country can be exempted from death four times, the descendants of the founding fathers of the county can be exempted from death three times, the descendants of the founding princes of the county can be exempted from death twice, the descendants of the founding princes can be exempted from death once, and the descendants of the founding uncles are not exempt from death is just a sign of identity.

However, among them, the 'Danshu Iron Coupon' of Zhongyi Bo Xu Feng also has the ability to avoid death once. Moreover, there are restrictions on the exemption from death of this thing, such as great rebellion, and those who rebel will not be exempted from death, but will be punished more heavily.

This policy immediately caused an uproar, and hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China opposed it one after another, believing that it would affect the rule of officials and encourage the trend of violating law and discipline. At the beginning, Shi Bin planned to go his own way under the pressure, but he could only compromise if the pressure was too great, saying that if the descendants of the heroes who held the 'Danshu Iron Coupon' committed a crime, he would never interfere, nor would he give favors outside the law, and everything would be according to the laws of Daxiang. The effect of the 'Danshu Iron Coupon' is only to prevent death.

With this compromise, the ministers no longer objected, after all, they still had to give Shi Bin, the emperor, some face. As for Wang San, although the heroes who got the 'Danshu Iron Coupon' hated those officials who got in the way, they were very grateful to Shi Bin. Because from Shi Bin's gift of this 'Danshu Iron Coupon', it can be concluded that he will not unload the mill and kill the donkey.

In a blink of an eye, Shi Bin ascended the throne for one year, and in the second year of Zhaoqing (1275). Due to the reduction of the military power of many heroes and the change of the military system, Shi Bin ate well and slept soundly. No matter how unhappy he is, Shi Bin can leave it behind, calmly face the problem, and solve the problem.

This situation can make all the officials in Daxiang happy, a diligent, open-minded, and rational emperor is very rare, everything just needs to be done according to the rules, there is no big pressure at all.

One day, Shi Bin was bored and went to Sai Xishi's room for a stroll. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw something he didn't like to see - Sai Xi Shi was mending his own clothes.

Daxiang side after mending clothes? The second noblest woman in the world mending clothes? What kind of nonsense is this? Seeing this, Shi Bin angrily grabbed the collar of the palace maid at the door and asked angrily, "Why are you mending your clothes by yourself?" Didn't my Daxiang even have the money to buy her a good dress? ”

"Please calm the emperor's anger. The emperor's Daxiang Empire is absolutely rich and strong, and there must be money to buy clothes for the queen, these are all things that the queen has to do herself, and she doesn't want us to help her make up for it, and warns us not to tell the emperor about it. As for why this is the case with the back of the side, the slave did not know, and she said that if the slave dared to tell you, she would break our legs and feet. The palace maid said tremblingly.

didn't think that the little palace maid who was so frightened that he couldn't stand still dared to lie to him, in order to find out, Shi Bin decided to go in and ask Sai Xishi to understand.

In order to 'grasp the current', Shi Bin is stepping forward step by step. Although Sai Xishi was alert, he was concentrating on mending clothes, and it was not until Shi Bin stood in front of her and blocked the light that he found that Shi Bin was coming.

"Your Majesty." Sai Si Shi laughed. At the same time, he quietly stuffed the clothes in his hand under the quilt.

"Xi Shi, you and I have been married for many years, don't call 'the emperor' and 'the emperor', or call the husband, it's comfortable to listen to." Shi Bin smiled, "What were you embroidering just now?" Do you work as a woman? ”

This is a difficult question for Sai Xi Shi to answer. If the answer is 'yes', Shi Bin will definitely look at the female worker, and if he answers 'no', Shi Bin will want to know more about what she is doing.

Fortunately, Sai Xishi is very smart, and he frowned and calculated. casually took out a handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers, and said with a smile: "The husband guessed correctly, the concubine is working as a female worker, but the female worker has not finished yet, this is done." I'll just take a look at this first, and I'll show you when I'm done. The piece that the husband saw had just begun to be made, and it really couldn't be seen. ”

is really smart and clever, Shi Bin sighed to himself in his heart. However, he also said slyly: "Xi Shi's words are wrong, I like my wife's things no matter what they look like." I just want to see what you just embroidered. Please also ask my beloved wife to meet my little request. ”

Since he couldn't escape, Sai Xishi had to take out the torn clothes stuffed under the quilt.

The more he looked at Shi Bin, the more angry he felt, and in order not to be angry with Sai Xi Shi, he suppressed his anger and asked, "Xi Shi, why are you practicing yourself like this?" Didn't I buy you a new dress? Do I still have to wear old clothes behind my side? I must severely punish the officials who manage the expenses of the inner palace! ”

"Husband, you misunderstood, you can't be so careless!"

At this time, Shi Bin was so angry that he didn't care so much, and directly ordered his subordinates to arrest people. Who knew that Sai Xi Shi walked over and gave the guard a five-fingered mountain, so that he didn't dare to move half a step.

Seeing Sai Xishi's reaction, Shi Bin was very confused and couldn't help but calm down. Puzzled, he asked, "Xi Shi, why are you doing this?" ”

"Do you know how much this dress costs?"

"At most, it's only four or five taels of silver!" Shi Bin was very puzzled why Sai Xishi asked such a stupid question.

"Wrong! At least two hundred taels of silver! Sai Xi Shi said loudly, "Husband, don't you feel incredible? You are right to say four or five taels, but that is the price outside the palace. As long as something enters the palace, it will be increased by at least twenty times, and this kind of good thing may be increased fifty times! ”

Although Shi Bin was also wealthy, he was still startled when he heard this price. It's just that he is still unwilling to say that he wants the household department to allocate funds to the inner court. Hearing Shi Bin's words, Sai Xishi first expressed his great gratitude, and then persuaded Shi Bin with a hint of ridicule to go to the household servant to try it and see if the household servant was willing to allocate funds.

This performance made Shi Bin very unhappy, as if he went, as soon as he opened his mouth, the household servant would look for him desperately. Of course he wouldn't try it like this stupid hat, since Sai Xishi knew something he didn't know, why not just start with her?

"My good Shih Tzu, let's talk about it, it seems that there are some things I don't know yet." Shi Bin said with a smile.

"I don't know, my sister definitely didn't tell you." Sai Xi Shi smiled a little proudly, "Actually, this is also a good thing, a great thing." ”

Shi Bin suddenly felt confused, and made his side and back wear shabby clothes, which made him Shi Bin lose face is actually a good thing?

"This is because now you have nearly 50,000 more people in Daxiang, and the household department is discussing what to do. It's not that they deliberately don't tell you this news, and I believe that it will be on your desk in three days. The reason why my concubine and my sister knew about it was only because my brother said it casually when he came to the palace to see me a few days ago. ”

"50,000 more people? What do you mean? Where did it come from? See, what you mean by this is that these people are refugees who are going to be relieved. Shi Bin said with some doubts.

"How so? It's not an exaggeration to say that they are refugees, but they are no better than refugees. But they are not refugees, and they still have some property. ”

"What do you mean? Give me clarity! Shi Bin urged a little impatiently, "Don't hang my appetite!" ”

Of course, he didn't want to anger Shi Bin, so Sai Xishi told the identity of those 'people'. Most of the 50,000 were Khitans, Mature Jurchens, Shengjurchens, and some Tatar Mongols.

Why are these Yuan people not good at staying in their own land and running to Daxiang? Rob? Why didn't the Ministry of War report the robbery, but it involved the Ministry of Households? Shi Bin was very puzzled.

"Husband, isn't he very confused?" Sai Si Shi laughed.

"Husband must be very confused! Don't wonder how to ask you? Another voice suddenly came from the room, and there was a lot of vinegar in it, and you didn't have to think about it to know that it was Jia Ling who was here.

"Xiaoling, you're here too."

"You are only allowed to come to see your wife, husband, but I am not allowed to come to see my sister?" Jia Ling said a little domineeringly.

Good men don't fight with women, Shi Bin said secretly. "Of course you can, your sister can watch Xi Shi whenever she wants. And husband, I was too busy a few days ago to see you. Today I rarely relaxed, I just discussed with her whether to go to your place to sit, let's have tea and chat together, I didn't expect you to come by yourself. ”

Of course, Jia Ling didn't believe this nonsense, but she didn't break it, after all, Shi Bin and Sai Xishi were indeed not secretly talking about love. So it didn't take long for that bit of vinegar to dissipate.

"That's what the husband really thinks?" Jia Ling still asked with a smile.

"Of course. Besides, I still have something to ask you, so I'll go to your place sooner or later. With Madame's intelligence, she must know why I went to you, right? ”

"The slave family should not be 'smart', but the reason can indeed be guessed, and the slave family can indeed give the husband the answer. But my husband has to promise me that I can't make random decisions. ”

What are these words? When did I Shi Bin make a decision, and when did I make a decision that I didn't think about it twice? These words made Shi Bin a little unhappy.

Looking at Shi Bin, who was a little unhappy, Jia Ling didn't care, and asked to herself: "Does the husband know why those herdsmen want to invade my Central Plains Dynasty every once in a while?" ”

Shi Bin hadn't thought about this question yet, the only thing he knew was that as long as the Central Plains Dynasty was politically clear, the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and they would not have to eat the last meal and the next meal. He didn't know what kind of life those herdsmen lived.

"Does the husband think that our Daxiang is not rich enough? Isn't it good not to be able to make all the people have food and clothing? ”

Shi Bin felt ridiculous about Jia Ling's question, and in his opinion, it was not good to not be able to make all the people have food and clothing, so he gave Jia Ling a very contemptuous look.

"It seems that the husband really doesn't know what kind of life pigs and dogs are living by herdsmen outside the Saiwai. When the water and grass are abundant, those herdsmen have eaten the last meal but not the next, and if there is a natural disaster, they do not know how many of them will freeze to death, starve to death, and die of disease. That's why their population has always been small, and they are always thinking of plundering us. In order to survive, they are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, a bunch of hob meat. ”

Hob meat? Shi Bin understands this word very well. After Jia Ling's explanation, Shi Bin guessed why 50,000 people suddenly appeared in Daxiang.

This made him have to think about a problem: he has 50,000 more people, and Ali Buge has 50,000 less. And 50,000 is not 500, for the grassland people, 50,000 is already a very large force. What's more, he also swallowed more than 100,000 people of Ali Buge before. In this case, how will Ali Buge react? Thinking of this, Shi Bin immediately frowned, with a worried face. After all, it's not a good thing to annoy Brother Ali.
