Chapter 0781: Monarchs and Ministers Hand in Hand
As the merchants left the Southern Congress Pavilion, news about the sky-high price of the Kunpeng skeleton quickly began to spread.
The sky-high price of 30 million quintals of grain is enough to attract everyone's attention.
From the dignitaries to the common people, I am afraid they will all notice.
The speed at which it spreads is much faster than the speed at which the Kunpeng skeleton is born.
In comparison, the Kunpeng skeleton is an unattainable thing for many people, especially ordinary people.
At most, after the meal, three or five people got together, as a talking point, and played music to each other.
But 30 million quintals of grain is different.
Especially in this season of food shortage.
The people must be eagerly concerned about this.
Yang Qi was the last to leave the Southern Parliament Pavilion.
Because he sat in the South Congress Pavilion until late at night.
During this period, Peng Pai stayed outside the door and did not allow anyone to disturb him.
Stepping on the moonlight.
Yang Qi walked out of the gate of the Southern Congress Pavilion.
Outside the door, Kou Zhun led a group of officials who were quietly waiting for him.
Yang Qi didn't seem to see them, he raised his head calmly, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said lightly to Peng Pai behind him.
"Adjust to 20%, ......"
Dropping these words, Yang Qi took a step towards Xingying.
Kou Zhun and the others looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of Yang Qi's words.
Peng Pai understood the meaning of Yang Qi's words.
The meaning of Yang Qi's words is very simple, he just increased the number of monks in the temples of Nanguo and Yan Kingdom that he had previously established in the wing room from one percent to two percent.
"No!"
Peng Pai bowed down and agreed.
Then he quickly caught up with Yang Qi's footsteps.
Kou Zhun and the others were stunned for a moment, and they also chased after them.
When Kou Zhun and the others chased after the camp, Yang Qi entered the camp early and let Peng Pai stay outside the door.
Kou Zhun and others wanted to go in, but they were stopped by Peng Pai.
"Your Majesty has an order, it's getting late, you all go back to rest, and talk about official business tomorrow. Kou Zhun left ......"
When the officials heard this, they arched their hands at Kou Zhun and left one after another.
Wait until everyone is gone.
Peng Pai let him go, allowing Kou Zhun to enter the camp.
Kou Zhun didn't find Yang Qi's figure in the front yard or hall in the camp, and it wasn't until he arrived at the flower hall in the backyard that he found Yang Qi's figure.
Yang Qiyi was dressed in a white robe, standing in the flower hall, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, drinking alone.
Kou Zhun walked behind Yang Qi and bowed, "Kou Zhun, see Your Majesty." ”
Yang Qi didn't look back, but let out a long sigh.
"Hey...... Kou Zhun sold today, and the Kunpeng skeleton was sold at a sky-high price. 30 million quintals of grain can not only solve the food shortage in my Yan country, but even allow the people of my Yan country to eat for two years. But why am I not happy at all? ”
Yang Qi seemed to be talking to an old friend for many years, and there was no majesty in his voice at all, only a deep emotion.
Kou Zhun was also stunned when he heard this.
He realized that Yang Qi was looking for him to talk about family life.
Walking forward slowly, Kou Zhun found that in addition to the wine glass in Yang Qi's hand, there was also a wine glass on the table.
Kou Zhun picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"Let's do it~"
Brigadier Kou put the empty wine glass on the table and said in a deep voice, "I'm not happy in my heart. ”
Yang Qi looked at Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun took a deep breath and said coldly: "Song, Liao, and Yan, there is a food shortage in all three places, and the people are hungry to eat Guanyin soil to satisfy their hunger, and some people have even begun to eat Yizi behind their backs.
Yet, even so, people still starved to death.
Everyone talks about food shortages, but when I saw the scene in the Yugoslav National Assembly Hall today, the food shortage became a joke. ”
"Is there a food shortage? There is no shortage of food. Not only is it not scarce, but it is even abundant. They were only held in the hands of merchants, nobles, monks, and Taoist priests. Merchants save up food and want to take advantage of the opportunity to make huge profits; The aristocracy wanted to buy people's hearts by taking advantage of the food shortage; Monks and Taoist priests also wanted to take advantage of the food shortage to preach.
But they did not think of the suffering of the people. even turned a blind eye to the scenes of eating and eating.
They were willing to see the grain grow moldy in the granary, and they did not show kindness to give alms to the people who were dying of starvation. ”
“……”
Kou Zhun said a lot of words in one breath, and spit out all the unhappiness in his heart.
When it was over, he even roared murderously, "So they should all be killed!" ”
Yang Qi, who was depressed, was amused by Kou Zhun's words.
"Hahaha...... I can't imagine that you, a weak scholar, also have such a strong side. ”
Kou Zhun said hardly: "For the sake of the people, I will not hesitate." ”
Yang Qi nodded slowly, "For the sake of the people, I will not hesitate to do it...... There is a point in that. ”
After a pause, Yang Qi smiled bitterly: "But these people can't be killed." ”
"Why?"
"Why?!"
Yang Qi sighed: "Without businessmen to communicate between the north and the south, the country will only get poorer and poorer, and even return to the most primitive state of barter."
Without the existence of the aristocracy, the common people would lose a way to make progress, and the country would lose the motivation to enter. In the end, no one was willing to work hard for the country, and the final result was that I was panicked and reduced to the point of being bullied by foreigners.
The two schools of Buddhism and Taoism represent faith, which can give those who go to despair, or whose minds are too fragile, have a spiritual sustenance, which can lead people to goodness.
So, their presence is indispensable. ”
Yang Qi's words, in the future generations, are a big fallacy.
But now, that's the wise saying.
Different times and different social systems correspond to many different conditions for governance.
Kou Zhun heard Yang Qi's words, and said a little unwillingly: "Are we helpless to take them?" ”
Yang Qi shook his head and said, "No, no, no, we are the ones in control of this country." No one in this country can make us bow to them. Only everyone bowed to us.
Therefore, it is impossible for us to bow to merchants, nobles, and monks.
People, we can't kill.
But that doesn't mean we can't do anything about them.
We can regulate them and guide them.
Let them be people for the benefit of the people, and not pests that lie on the people and suck the blood. ”
When Kou Zhun heard Yang Qi's words, he looked at Yang Qi firmly and said seriously: "You say, I'll do it." ”
Yang Qi grinned, stretched out a hand, and came to Kou Zhun, "You are really a talent that I value, and only you can help me create a bright future for the people of Yan Kingdom." ”
Kou Zhun was a little stunned by Yang Qi's suddenly outstretched hand.
After a while, he hesitantly stretched out his hand and shook it with Yang Qi's hand.
"How far can we go?"
"Our goal is to ...... The people do not levy taxes, but the country is self-sufficient. ”
"This ...... That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Since ancient times, I have never heard of a country that is self-sufficient without levy. ”
"As long as we are willing to work hard, we will reach this goal one day."
"Huh...... I feel like you're just a fantasy. ”
"It's not a fantasy, because the people don't levy taxes, and the country is self-sufficient, I've seen ......"
"You've seen it?!"
“……”
The two of you, just talk about you and me.
Under the firmament, they are just the smallest two people.
But they have ambitions that in this era, even the sky can't fit in.
None of their pretended ambitions are for themselves.
What they carried in their arms were thousands of Yan people.
They just want to make the people of Yan better off, so that they will no longer be poor and hungry.
……
Inside the Flower Hall.
The two talked a lot.
Drank up nine jars of spirits.
Kou Zhun took off his coat and ran wildly in the backyard wearing an inner liner, shouting about the plans of the rich and powerful Yan Kingdom.
Yang Qi didn't take off his coat, but he was barefoot and smashed wildly in the flower hall.
He also shouted some words.
Listen carefully, you can hear that those are Yang Qi's imaginary enemies.
Yang Qi's last memory stayed at the part where he wiped out the enemies who stood in his way to becoming rich and strong, and looked up to the sky and laughed.
……
Following.
Yang Qi got up from the bed, rubbing his temples with his fingers, his head splitting.
This is the result of a hangover.
In a daze, Yang Qi shook his head and washed up under the service of the maid, and put on the python robe that symbolized his identity as the lord of Yan Kingdom.
It wasn't until Yang Qi was led to sit at the breakfast table that he came to his senses.
"Where's Kou Zhun?"
Yang Qi asked Peng Pai, who was standing beside him.
The corners of Peng Pai's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice: "Lord Kou should not go out these days......
"Why?"
Yang Qi asked.
Peng Pai muttered for a long time, but he didn't say why.
The last one looked at Yang Qi pleadingly, and said in a low voice: "Don't ask......
Yang Qi was slightly stunned when he saw Peng Pai's pleading look.
This is not Peng Pai's style.
If Peng Pai can show this kind of expression in front of him, it means that Kou Zhun must have something in the scripture that makes people feel unspeakable, so it is inconvenient to go out.
Yang Qi didn't get to the bottom of it, he ordered Peng Pai, "Go back and tell Kou Zhun that he will hide and hide, but Yan Guo's political affairs must not be slack."
Otherwise, I'll smoke him......"
The corners of Peng Pai's mouth twitched even more.
Seeing that Yang Qi didn't mean to get to the bottom of it, Peng Pai hurriedly dealt with it: "My subordinates must warn Lord Kou." ”
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, always feeling that Peng Pai's performance today was something catty.
But instead of asking questions, he began to eat.
After breakfast, I tasted two fragrant teas.
Yang Qi got up and said, "I'll go to the flower hall in the backyard, you go and inform the other officials, and let them wait in the hall when they arrive." When everyone is ready, call me again. ”
"Your Majesty!"
As soon as I heard that Yang Qi was going to the flower hall.
Peng Pai was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail and screamed.
Yang Qi subconsciously frowned, "Surprised, what do you want to do?" ”
Peng Pai said with a smiling face: "Your Majesty...... What is there to go to in this flower hall, you have been wandering around the flower hall all day, and you must have been tired of wandering around. The subordinates heard that Miss Rumeng had opened Changle Fang to Hong Kong City.
Today, the Changle Fang Port City branch is officially opened, as the original founder of Changle Fang, don't you want to take a look? ”
"Oh?"
Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, and smiled curiously: "That girl like a dream has actually opened Changle Fang to Hong Kong City." Yes, yes, this girl has a bit of talent for business, and she knows how to seize the opportunity to take advantage of the fact that the land price in the port city is still cheap now, and take root in the port city. After the restoration of the Yan Kingdom, the port city will become a huge trading port.
By that time, the land price of the port city may be soaring.
Every Changle Fang opened by that girl is not small.
Presumably, the place occupied in Minato City this time will not be small.
I think that compared to running Changle Fang, this girl is more suitable for real estate. ”
Yang Qiyang said a lot.
Peng Pai nodded vigorously and said yes, even when the new word 'real estate' popped out of Yang Qi's mouth, he didn't ask.
After Yang Qi finished speaking, Peng Pai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Rumeng does have a talent for business. The Changle Fang in this port city is three times larger than the Changle Fang in Datong Mansion. The decoration is very luxurious, and before it opened, it was already called a must-go place by the merchants stranded in the port city.
Your Majesty is at leisure at this time, just enough to join in the fun. ”
Yang Qi nodded solemnly, "What you said is reasonable......
When Peng Pai heard this, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Go to the backyard flower hall ......"
Who would have thought that the smile on his face had not yet been steady, and Yang Qi's words imprisoned his smiling face on his face, and it became extremely stiff.
By the time Peng Pai came back to his senses, Yang Qi had already strode to the backyard.
"Your Majesty...... I can't go! ”
Peng Pai chased after Yang Qi, shouting.
It didn't take long.
From the backyard of the camp, a roar erupted.
"Who did it?"
Inside the backyard of the camp.
Yang Qi stood in front of the moon gate in the backyard, looking at the devastated backyard, and his anger rushed straight to Xiao Han.
The roof of the flower hall was overturned, and broken tiles were scattered all over the ground.
Of the four pillars, two pillars were beaten to pieces, and the remaining two were arranged in the shape of a cross and planted in the flower garden in the backyard.
The rope that binds the pillars is made of the curtain of the flower hall.
Inside the flower garden.
The peach tree that Yang Qi relied on when he was elegant was uprooted, and the first peach blossoms were scattered all over the ground and trampled into the soil.
Dozens of flowers, such as chrysanthemums and orchids, planted on the edge of the peach trees, have been trampled into green clay.
The whole backyard of the camp was like being tossed by a hundred cows.
Yang Qi glared and asked Peng Pai angrily, "Say!" Who did this to you? ”
Peng Pai was in a dilemma and said: "Subordinate...... Let's not talk about it......"
Yang Qi roared angrily: "Don't say it? If you don't say anything, I'll hang you on that cross and draw you until you can say it. ”
Peng Pai subconsciously looked at the cross, as if he thought of some unsightly scene, and shivered.
"The backyard of the camp, you smashed it!"
Seeing that Yang Qi was about to go crazy, Peng Pai quickly said this sentence.
When Yang Qi heard this, he was stunned, then looked at everything in the backyard again, and hesitated: "What did I do?" ”
Peng Pai nodded solemnly.
Half of the anger in Yang Qi's heart disappeared in an instant.
There was no anger rushing to his head, and he instantly cleared up a lot.
Carefully examining the methods of poisoning in the backyard, he found a lot of things that only he could do.
For example, the pillars of the hall that were smashed alive.
For example, the wooden pillar the thickness of the man's waist was tied into a cross and inserted into the earth.
For example, the peach blossom tree that was pulled out of the soil and mud.
Another example......
In short, all the details add up to him.
Dare Peng Pai has been reluctant to let him go to the backyard, he is wiping his ass for him.
At this moment, Yang Qi felt very embarrassed.
