What Chen Xi and the others are doing now is to intervene sideways, break up the communication between Zhang and Liu Bei, and let Liu Bei, who originally had the hope of finding a wife with equal status, return to the state of pushing maids.

Chen Xi lowered his head and drank tea with a tea bowl, he finally understood why the beef was so fragrant today, Liu Bei was not entertaining his own group of guys, Liu Bei was eyebrow-raising with Zhang when Jia Xu and his party came in, it seems that Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang have been left behind, the female head of the family also has the benefits of the female head of the family, although the Israeli people are a little not good, but they also look at the object, it is obvious that Liu Bei is a good object.

As a result, Jia Xu took the lead in coming in, and when he saw this scene, he didn't have to avoid it, he coughed lightly and walked in indifferently, everyone was cheeky and didn't care, so they were embarrassed, and they each sat in their respective seats, eating and drinking with Liu Bei calmly, as for the Zhang family, after Jia Xu and his party came, they got up and saluted back, and then went to the inner courtyard under the leadership of the maid, where Mrs. Gan, the only concubine who got the right name, would receive Zhang.

It is said that this practice is not in line with etiquette, but Liu Bei has no wife, so he can only let Gan's go, anyway, it is to receive it, after all, there are a lot of things to consider when it comes to the position of Liu Bei, Cheng Dù's wife.

In fact, if it weren't for Cai Yong's doing, it's really a bit hard to say, Cai Yan, who is now dead fiancé, is the best candidate for a wife, regardless of fame, background, or bloodline, it is very consistent, but unfortunately with Cai Yong's matter, Liu Bei has no good way, Cai Yan's identity is already destined to not be a concubine, so Liu Bei can only look at the sky speechlessly.

Go back and say it again. The Zhang family is actually very much in line with the identity of the main wife, if the two really look at each other, Chen Xi will not have a good way, just like when Liu Bei married Wu Yuan in history. Wu Yuan didn't marry again, but she still became a queen, and in the same way, Zhen Mi married Cao Pi, who didn't pay attention to those in the Han Dynasty, as long as your identity, status, and reputation match. Remarriage is not a problem.

After all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his mother Wang Wan were married to someone before marrying Emperor Jing and gave birth to a daughter, and then divorced King Sun of Jin, and then married Emperor Jing and gave birth to Emperor Wu of Han. The emperor does this, and these are naturally not a thing, as long as both parties are willing and the door is right. Naturally, someone will tell you about matchmaking.

In other words, now all the conditions for Zhang and Liu Bei meet the requirements. If the two really come together, then there's nothing to say, although this Yan zhòng destroyed the theorem of Cao Wei's good people X, Dongwu loves Lori, and Shu Han is a group of bases, but well, there is nothing wrong with hegemony......

Turned around and continued to talk about Cai Yan, Zhang, and Mi Zhen. Zhen Mi's group of people, to be honest, this group of people can be small except for Mi Zhen. Others either don't marry you, or someone else becomes a wife, it's as simple as that.

Mi Zhen can indeed be small, but you see Mi Zhu working so hard to make money, saving a dowry for his sister, you want to make his sister small, you dream about it, Liu Bei became a pastor in Xuzhou in the last life, but when he married Mi Zhen, he was still a wife, so if you want Mi Zhen to be small, unless you are a XX king-level figure, you just think about it.

But then again, if you reach the level of princes and kings, it seems that the group of people above can be small......

In short, in this era, it is really difficult for you to pay attention to this group of people, unless you are unmarried, and your status is high enough, like Chen Xi, if you are a single noble son, as long as the women above go to propose, there is quite a possibility that they can win, but now, with complexity and simplicity, then don't think about it, other families can't afford to lose that person!

Because of this, Chen Xi's eyes when he looks at Cai Yan and Mi Zhen now are purely appreciative, and there is no other thing, so Mi Zhu is very relieved about Chen Xi, sometimes Mi Zhen sneaks to Chen Xi's house, Mi Zhu is not worried about Chen Xi's beastly hair eating Mi Zhen at all.

After eating and drinking as usual, Chen Xi finally stood up, "Xuande Gong, Xi has something to ask for." ”

After Chen Xi spoke, the other people present seemed to have received a unified signal and all stopped their chopsticks, and Liu Bei also quietly put the chopsticks flat on the plate and sat up straight, it can be seen that etiquette education still has a certain effect.

"Zichuan, please open your mouth if you have something, and if you have any mistakes or omissions, please check and fill in the gaps." Liu Bei didn't know what was going on, but he didn't have any dissatisfaction, he still maintained his due demeanor, nodded and said.

"Xi often sees in the history books that there are emperors who love luxury, the treasury is empty, and the people are displaced, which is very strange." Chen Xi said with distress.

"This time it was a mistake to prepare." Liu Bei couldn't understand other words, but he had something in his heart, so he naturally understood what Chen Xi said.

"Well, I don't think it's the emperor's problem at all because of the love of luxury, and the lack of money for disaster relief is not the emperor's problem, after all, the country spends money to raise such a group of officials who don't govern the world well, how much can the emperor spend?" Chen Xi turned his head and glanced at everyone present and asked.

"Dare to ask Xuande Gong, how much of the world's taxes can be spent as a king?" Chen Xi's question was very strange, and he didn't mean to blame Liu Bei for today's incident at all.

"One percent of the country's tax revenue, more of it is spent elsewhere." Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, thinking about the living utensils and amusement very luxurious, and then fantasized about building luxurious mansions, but the cost was not too much, one percent was more than enough.

"Where did the rest of the ninety out of nine go? This is the original sin that plunged the country into chaos, the emperor didn't spend much at all, the so-called sexual luxury was just a joke, how luxurious could it be? Chen Xi sneered and said, "To put it mildly, Xuande Gong wants to build the most gorgeous mansion in the world, and I can not only earn some without spending money, so luxury is not wrong, spending money is not too big a problem, and the incompetence of officials is the root of a qiē." ”

"The high-level always wants everyone to live a better life, this can be said to be what the emperor, the three princes and nine kings have been doing, they are either for the stability of the country or for the prosperity of the family, but they have always been committed to stabilizing the world." Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei and said, he needs to make Liu Bei understand something, although the world is not right and wrong.

"The ambition of careerists is not innate, but is squeezed out little by little by the shape of the world, the fault is also everyone's fault, the chaos in the world is definitely everyone's fault, just like slaughtering and being slaughtered, both sides must have problems, we shouldn't stare at the mistakes of our predecessors, there are some things that we obviously don't want to do, but at that point we have to do it, Xuande Gong, do you understand what I said?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei, who was confused, and said with a smile.

nodded, then shook his head again, Chen Xi turned around and looked at the other people, he knew that Jia Xu and Li You must have understood, Guo Jia was also clear, Liu Ye's expression obviously belonged to thinking too much, Lu Su may have wanted to refute a little, and Man Zhong looked a little dissatisfied, all kinds of people, everyone was different.

"Xuande Gong doesn't have to understand thoroughly, you just need to have an impression, and you will naturally understand it after a long time, but the amount of national taxes you just said is enough for the emperor's expenses." Chen Xi said casually, and then scratched his ears to prove that he hadn't heard clearly just now.

"One percent should be enough for the emperor's expenses." Liu Bei repeated, and Jia Xu and Li You involuntarily glanced at each other.

"Since Xuande Gong said that one percent of the country's tax revenue is enough for the emperor's expenses, please also ask Xuande Gong to take this as a lesson, how much tax we have in the area we rule, we will give Xuande Gong how much money, and ask Xuande Gong to understand, and at the same time, please Xuande Gong find more capable ministers and wise men, the wider the rule, the richer the people, and the more you will be rich." Chen Xi bowed and asked. (To be continued......)
