Seeing that Xu Da was puzzled, Lao Zhu smiled and said, "Don't beat around the bush, let's just say it." Tiande, I and you are friends of cloth, since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have joined each other, generally become in-laws, you have a good girl in the family, I want to match the fourth child with her, what do you think? ”

Xu Da was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly fell to the ground, "This is the luck of Weichen!" ”

"Let's be in-laws in the future, hehe......" Lao Zhu stretched out his hand to help Xu Da up, "Sit down, sit down, today is another happy event, when drinking and congratulating, Yuansheng will change the big bowl!" ”

Yuan Sheng persuaded on the side, "The emperor still has to approve the excerpts in the afternoon, so let's drink less." He was very worried that Lao Zhu would not be able to pee again when he turned around.

"When you want to take care of me, just go and get the wine!" Lao Zhu waved his hand dissatisfiedly, and said to Xu Da: "Tiande, let's make a decision, but we are not allowed to give your daughter to others again." Now they are still young, and in two years I will be officially canonized, and then I will find a matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage, well, let Xuan Chong go. ”

"Me? Matchmaker? Ma Du couldn't help but point to his nose, it turned out that he was looking for himself to be a matchmaker.

"Wasn't that the first thing to mention? Naturally, you are the matchmaker! Lao Zhu took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Ma Du, "Take it, the right should be your happy money!" ”

Xu Da said with a smile: "Xuanzhong, this uncle is not in vain, he found a good mother-in-law for Miaoyun, and I want to thank you for my brother!" He also took out a piece of jade and handed it to Ma Du.

I really treat Lao Tzu as a matchmaker! The image of the matchmaker in the old society with a flower, red cheeks, and a big mole at the corner of her mouth suddenly came to mind, which was really spicy, but fortunately she didn't have to dress up like that, otherwise she would have wiped her neck directly.

Fortunately, there were two jade pendants as comfort, Ma Du unceremoniously tied the jade pendant to his waist, and said to Xu Da: "Brother Xu, the younger brother still has something to make amends to you, just now I heard the prince say that Bi Lin broke Huizu's nose, it is my father who has not taught her a lesson, and I will clean her up when I get home." ”

Lao Zhu smiled: "That's a wild girl, my Ning Guo and An Qing are both well-behaved and demure good girls, and after playing with her in Fangshan for half a year, they became skin monkeys jumping up and down." In the end, it is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and it is not good to teach you how to marry in the future. ”

"The emperor doesn't know, Bi Lin doesn't worry about getting married, Humble Jing and the Ma family's younger siblings have already set a baby kiss in private, and they will marry as soon as they are old." Xu Da turned his head to Ma Du again and said: "So Xuanzhong doesn't need to apologize, it's normal for the little couple to fight and make trouble, and it's to blame Huizu's kid for not having the ability, haha......"

"Hey, I didn't agree to Brother Xu!"

"It's useless if you don't agree, when the time comes, I can take Huizu to the door to rob my relatives, I'm afraid those guards of your family won't be able to stop it!"

……

Talking and laughing, the day passed in the middle of the day, the four of them were all drunk, Yuansheng asked people to send a cold sour plum soup to relieve the heat and sober up, Lao Zhu suddenly asked: "Tiande, what do you think of the empty seal case?" ”

This sudden question made the atmosphere cold, Ma Du and Zhu Biao were embarrassed, and they were both spitted by Lao Zhu because of this. Xu Da looked sincere, "The emperor is a holy judge, Weichen has no objections, the emperor may not remember, when he was young, there were often officials with half seals and documents to Zhongli countryside to forcibly collect taxes......"

"I don't remember!" Old Zhu's face suddenly turned red, "I asked Tang He in the court, what did he say, he only knew that killing the enemy in the battle formation could not understand civil affairs, and he was angry, and these corrupt officials and corrupt officials only hated to kill less." ”

Sure enough, he guessed correctly, Lao Zhu was really a victim, and he had skin pain.

"Well, the emperor punished him with a heavy hand, presumably the court already knows the emperor's determination, if all the officials are killed and no one is in charge, it will be the people who will make the officials rampant."

"I know it's useless to just kill." Lao Zhu stroked his beard and sighed helplessly: "You come with me!" ”

Lao Zhu suddenly got up and walked towards a wooden building not far away, the door was strictly guarded along the way, and there were many guards next to the wooden building. Lao Zhu asked the official in charge to knock on the door, and as soon as a few people entered the door, they smelled a faint musty smell.

Lao Zhu wrinkled his nose and said to the official in charge: "It's humid here, don't lock the door all day long, open the doors and windows for ventilation, the things here are expensive, and it's not good if it's moldy." ”

The petty official hurriedly agreed, and when he entered the inside, he found that this was a library, and there were rows of bookshelves inside, and the shelves were full of old books, which looked like they were some years old.

Originally, I thought it was some kind of treasure pavilion, Lao Zhu brought them here to show off the treasures of their private collection, who knew that it was a bunch of moldy old books, and they couldn't help but be disappointed.

Looking at Ma Du's expression, Lao Zhu glared and said, "What do you think is here?" It seems that you really don't care about the government affairs of the imperial court at all, although there is no gold, silver, pearl and jade here, but it contains my world. ”

Ma Du saw the cover of a book, and immediately understood, here are all the Ming population, acres of land files, commonly known as the "Yellow Book", related to a country's taxes are naturally important, as the Ming Dynasty's super marquis, Ma Du doesn't even know where to put the Yellow Book, no wonder he is despised by Lao Zhu.

"The crown prince and Xuanzhong, you have both interceded for them, you must feel that I am vicious, and I know that I have killed so many officials without blinking an eye, because you have not gone through that kind of hard life."

Lao Zhu's eyes were confused, as if he was a little drunk on the wine, "It's like a dream, at that time, I never thought about being an emperor, I just thought that I could eat a full meal a day." God favored me and made me the emperor, so that they could not wear new shoes and walk the old way, let them take food from the mouths of the people, if they did not let them shed some blood, how would they be restrained. ”

"I also know that killing people is useless, you can't get rid of the roots, I called you here today because I want you to help me think of a charter, and the yellow book here is for you to consult!"

As the saying goes, eat lamp grass ash and let go of light farts, Lao Zhu said that this kind of thing is extremely irresponsible, a country's tax and financial system actually let a few people come up with ideas to build, Lao Zhu must have drunk too much.

Xu Da was the first to object, he smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that such a major matter should be discussed in the court, Duke Li is scheming and good at taking care of money and food, the emperor should ask him for advice, you are afraid that you are looking for the wrong person when you ask Weichen." ”

"It's true that there are many people in the court, and there are many ideas, but none of them are easy to use, so I know that when I die, I can't come up with a charter! As for Han Gong, he is old and rigid, and he can't think of any new ideas! Lao Zhu looked at Ma Du again, "Xuanzhong, I know you must have a good idea!" ”
