Chapter 230: I Can't Do It
There was a shortage of food in the Jin Kingdom, and the people were so hungry that they gnawed on the bark.
In the past few days, the ministers have been talking about this matter, and they want to ask Jin Linggong to solve this matter. Jin Linggong's ears were almost calloused.
There was a chaotic bang in the court, and Zhao Dun stood up, standing out among a group of clueless ministers. "For the sake of now, the only way to do this is to collect grain from the subject countries."
Jin Linggong stroked his palms and laughed: "Doctor Zhao, this is a good idea. "He looked at Zhao Dun for the first time." Since this matter is your idea, Dr. Zhao, it is up to you to handle it. ”
Zhao Dun sighed secretly in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, he wouldn't have come up with such an unconscionable idea.
When the vassal states received the letter of state from the Jin state, they did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent envoys.
The envoys arrived in the Jin Kingdom.
Jin Linggong immediately summoned them and put forward a request for the collection of grain straight to the point: "The vassal countries will pay a tribute of thirty percent of the grain. ”
The envoy's face was pale, his hands trembled, and he couldn't help but think of "God" in his heart. There is nothing they can do at the moment. The Jin State is powerful, and if you don't obey, it will be difficult to survive. And their king, in order to survive, had to oppress the people.
The other great powers have been staring at the actions of the Jin State, and when they saw that the Jin State was oppressing the vassal states, they followed suit.
The people of the small country are already miserable, and they have no way to survive when they are pressured by the government. Before, some people who learned about the notice posted by the Chu State were still a little hesitant and unwilling to leave their homeland. But if they don't go to the Chu State, they can't survive at all.
Except for some people who were far away from Chu State, other people began to go to Chu State whenever they still had the breath to win a glimmer of life for themselves.
The actions of the Jin Kingdom and other great powers were immediately reported to the weekend. The people of other countries are living in dire straits. Over the weekend, however, he steadily implemented his own reforms. He gave an impassioned speech to the civil and military officials.
Now the favor he has given to the people of the small country has been effective, especially with the current policy of the small country as a comparison, the people of the small country have praised King Zhuang Na, and many people have been disappointed in their homeland and decided to stay in the Chu country and settle down as Chu people.
The ministers who opposed the weekend before saw that the people were grateful to King Zhuang, and they all felt that King Zhuang was sage.
After dealing with the government affairs, I thought that I had been pampering Xixuan and Lin Fei for a while, but I hadn't seen Cai Yunxi for a long time. He went straight to Cai Yunxi's palace.
He stopped the eunuchs and palace maids who were about to pass the message, and waved his hand lightly, telling them to retreat silently.
He stepped in, and without making a sound, he walked into the inner hall, and could vaguely see the figure of the beautiful woman.
He lifted the curtain and saw Cai Yunxi sitting with her back to her, her hands propped up on the table, slightly beside her forehead. With a slender waist and white skin, he is really quiet like a delicate flower shining on the water, and his actions are like a weak willow supporting the wind.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva silently, tiptoed to Cai Yunxi's side, wanted to play fun and scare the little beauty, raised his arm and separated his five fingers, but caught a glimpse of the tears on Cai Yunxi's face.
Weekend put down his hands and meditated in his heart, "What's wrong?" Why did you cry so well? Is it because I haven't seen her in a long time? ”
Scratching the back of his head, he coughed lightly twice over the weekend.
Cai Yunxi was taken aback, and when she saw that it was him, she immediately turned around and knelt down: "The concubine didn't know that King Zhuang had arrived, and she was disappointed." ”
Looking at her lowered head over the weekend, her tone softer than usual, "Get up." ”
"King Xie Zhuang." Cai Yunxi was worried that her red and swollen eyes would be discovered by King Zhuang, "The concubine went to make tea for King Zhuang, and King Zhuang ......"
"What are you crying about? What grievances have you suffered? Weekend asked with concern.
"Huh?!" Cai Yunxi looked up in surprise, meeting the eyes of last weekend's search.
The reddish eye circles and undried tears made the weekend really tight.
He slowed down his tone even more, and asked with unprecedented tenderness and care, "Tell me if you have anything sad, and I will call the shots for you!" ”
Cai Yunxi shook her head and slowly bit her lower lip. "The concubine has not suffered any grievances."
"What's that? You must know that bullying is a deception. ”
"Concubine, concubine don't dare. It's because of the family letter......"
"How's the letter?" Cai Guo was not affected by the famine because of him.
"Say something......" Cai Yunxi raised her eyes and looked at the weekend, with a hint of compassion in her eyes. Things ......"
Her eyes startled the weekend, but the innocent and lovely concubine was so sad that she couldn't help but wonder, "Then show me."
I took the bamboo slip in her hand over the weekend.
Opening the bamboo slips, King Cai described to his daughter in a letter to his daughter about a strange disease of "edema" caused by the famine-stricken people in the Jin Kingdom, with a swollen face like a pumpkin and a soak of water wrapped in his eyelids, so his eyes were not wide open, only a thin slit, and he could not see the road ahead. Therefore, this kind of hungry people have to raise their heads when they walk, and every step they take, they have to stop for a moment before they have the strength to take the next step. Eventually, their voices changed, and when they spoke, they made a high-pitched sound like the cry of a wild beast, and they died desolately.
It's hell on earth, and it's hard to watch it on the weekend.
"The concubines are blessed by the king of Zhuang, live in this luxurious palace, and do not worry about food and clothing every day; The state of Chu also had a rich and powerful treasury because of the governance of King Zhuang, but today I heard that there are hungry and toiling people in the world, who are tortured and unadult, and concubines...... The concubine was grief-stricken. At this point, Cai Yunxi couldn't cry.
Looking at the crying beauty in front of her on the weekend, she was moved by her innocence and kindness, and on the other hand, she also felt pity for the hungry people in other countries. Sighed silently.
I didn't know how to comfort Cai Yunxi in front of me on the weekend, looking at her in tears, Weekend stood up and walked slowly to her side, without passionate lingering and fiery kisses.
He wrapped one hand around the petite Cai Yunxi, and imprinted a slightly cool lip on her forehead, as soft as a dragonfly.
The lovely child in her arms shook, and then her body began to tremble, and she buried her head deep in the firm chest of the weekend.
I hugged her on the weekend, thinking about how I could help the victims and make their lives better.
Walking out of Cai Yunxi's palace, the sun outside the house was warm, but it didn't bring the slightest temperature to the weekend.
He immediately thought of the system.
"System, now the people in some places have lived like ghosts because of the famine, can you help them?" Weekend knew he wasn't a savior, but he still wanted to help if he could.
The system was silent for a long time, and the subtitle popped up: I can't do it.
"Can't do it?" On the weekend, he asked angrily, "Come less, you have energy, you can deduct as much money as you want to deduct, and change the climate, soil and everything." ”
