Chapter 149: Constraints
With Wen Qihang's endorsement, Dou Yi led the old horse and left with mixed feelings.
"Sir, this is the first time I've seen you care so much about something." Looking at Dou Yi in the distance, Zheng Zhutou, who had been standing next to him and listening, spoke.
"Oh, how do you see that?" Wen Qihang asked with a smile.
"This is the first time you've taken the initiative to carry the black pot, and you're doing it for someone else." Zheng Zhutou grinned.
"Although I don't participate in specific matters, but after all, I am the chief editor of the national law, no matter how I look at it, this is my own business, how can I become a black pot for others." Wen Qihang smiled.
"The laws formulated by those nobles who forced Dou officials will definitely be in the interests of you, Lao Zheng, I really don't understand, why do you want to fight against them, this is completely thankless!" Zheng Zhutou wondered.
"Lao Zheng! There are many things in this world that are beyond reach. In the past 100 years, there have been numerous rebellions in various places, and once those displaced people decide to rebel, they will first kill the local nobles, which shows that the people have been resentful of this for a long time.
This justice is in the hearts of the people, sir, I don't want to be eaten raw by the people in the future. "Smell Qihang and say hey.
"Lord ........" no matter how you listen to it, this doesn't seem to be the truth, Zheng Zhutou said helplessly.
"The truth is often hurtful, are you sure you want to hear it?" Seeing Zheng Zhutou's depressed expression, he said meaningfully when he heard Qihang.
"Please make it clear!" Zheng Zhutou immediately said. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon! Zheng Zhutou is really curious about Wen Qihang's abnormal behavior, a guy who would rather jump into the Yellow River than take the initiative to take care of things, is now so abnormal, this is really suspicious.
"Since you want to know so much, of course I can tell you, sir, but the law does not pass on to the six ears, it can only be known by God, you know and I know." Smell the mystery of sailing.
"Sir, don't worry, Lao Zheng and I are notoriously strict." Zheng Zhutou assured.
"Anyone who says that seems to be a mouth basket!" Smelling Qihang teasingly.
“........”
"Okay, I won't embarrass you, let's put it this way, if you want to live safely in this imperial society, the law is our greatest reliance, otherwise what awaits us will be a great disaster." Smell the sail is the right color road.
“........ Sir, why do I get more confused the more I listen? Zheng Zhutou said in a daze.
"To put it simply, who is there in this world who does not have to obey the law?" Wen Qihang asked.
"Of course it's Your Majesty, you follow the law, and his words are the law." Zheng Zhutou said.
"Lao Zheng, you have come to the root, think about it, what a terrible thing it is to have a person who can decide your life at any time, standing on your head.
Your life is completely in control of his thoughts.
Your joys, sorrows, and sorrows need to consider his mood even more.
Tell me, if you live and worry like this every day, then what fun is there? Wen Qihang snorted softly.
"........" Hearing Wen Qihang's shocking remarks, Zheng Zhutou swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.
"So in order to put an end to this kind of thing, so that each of us can control our own lives, we must make strict laws, even the emperor, must obey. Therefore, you say that I am for the sake of others, for myself, even for the sake of our children and grandchildren, who can live more like a person, and I will firmly tie the reins of the law to the emperor's body. Wen Qihang said impassionedly.
"Sir, isn't this a bit rebellious!" After getting along with Wen Qihang for a long time, you can often hear this kind of rebellious words, and now Zheng Zhutou is a little accustomed to it, but this time Wen Qihang's tone seems to reveal an unprecedented resoluteness.
"Great rebellion? If it weren't for my cleverness this time, and I buried a secret move in advance, I'm afraid that we would have been in exile by now, and I don't want to wait until my twilight years to go to the end of the world. Wen Qihang said hatefully.
This time, in order to inquire about Tan Fengyi's news, he rushed into the palace to enter the palace, which was purely an act of looking for death, if it weren't for Tan Fengyi, he would definitely be hiding in Guanlou Village and waiting for the punishment decision of the imperial court, as long as he saw that something was wrong, he would immediately flee three thousand miles away.
"This seems to be difficult!" Zheng Zhutou licked his dry lips and said.
"Ever heard of boiled frogs in warm water? As long as it comes a little bit, it will always put the reins on the tiger. Wen Qihang snorted.
"Sir, let's not talk about this yet." Zheng Zhutou took a deep breath and said. This goal is too grandiose, as the saying goes: a companion is like a tiger. If the tiger is swallowed by the tiger instead of a halter, it will be miserable.
"Okay, if you don't have anything else to do, just order someone to put these clay sculptures in a brick kiln and fire them, so that they can be waterproof." Wen Qihang calmed down and said. It's really not a pleasant thing to have your life in the hands of others, even if the other party is the emperor, that's not good.
"Sir, now is not the time to burn this thing, the day after tomorrow is the ceremony after the sealing, although your money for buying your life has been prepared, but the money in our house can be regarded as exhausted, and the Fang City is about to stop working.
If work is stopped, those homeless people and those splashes, once something happens, it will be a big problem. Zheng Zhutou said with a bitter face.
"Lost a penny?" Wen Qihang grinned.
"Five hundred shops, each with a rental price of ten guan, this is only five thousand, and the remaining five thousand guan is already the only money left in the Jue's mansion." Zheng Zhutou said helplessly.
"Ahh 500 shops, all rented out? Smelling Qihang, he was surprised. There are only 100 households in Guanlou Village, and this average family has to rent three shops.
"Yes, this is also your good popularity and prestige, and some families in the village have even rented several shops in a row! Among those displaced people, there are also a few families who rent some. Zheng Zhutou explained.
"Hey! That's a penny to beat a hero! Wen Qihang sighed softly.
"There's always a way to do it! If the work is really stopped, how can we explain it to the villagers! Zheng Zhutou said anxiously. Once the city stops, it means that the villagers' money is completely lost, and it is all the hard-earned money of the villagers.
"Haha~~~ Sure enough, it's the road to the sky, and the money is here." Looking at the two people approaching from a distance, he laughed when he heard Qihang.
Hearing Wen Qihang's laughter, Zheng Zhutou also hurriedly turned around and looked in the direction Wen Qihang was looking.
In the distance, a man and a woman were walking slowly towards this side.
