Jieli was very distressed now, he never thought that the heavy snow had just subsided, and there would be so much bad news on the grassland.

The miserable appearance of the law of fluttering, Jieli can see it in his eyes. He has been staying in the iron-making workshop, which is very inconvenient. Stuck there for months, I was able to eat long ago. When the snow stopped, he tried to look elsewhere for something to eat, but he was saddened to find that there were hungry herders everywhere.

"Can't it go on like this? The herders have already started to eat lambs and mares, and if we eat them all, we will not have a respite even if the snow melts. After he had eaten his fill, he began to sigh again.

Horses and sheep are the life of herdsmen, just like the fields of the people of the Central Plains. If you eat a mare and a lamb, what is the difference between it and drinking a donkey to quench your thirst?

If the law of protection is still like this, the other tribes will naturally not have a good time. Originally, there was civil strife in the grassland, and now that such a thing has happened, it will only become more unbearable.

Ga Nashu'er also stood aside, and seeing Jieli's worried look, he also said out loud: "Khan doesn't need to panic, as long as the snow melts, fresh young grass will naturally grow." At that time, the current forage problem can be solved, and it is now necessary to reassure the people as soon as possible. ”

It's late February, and the weather is starting to warm up. The snow did begin to subside, and if you wait another month, spring will fall on the steppes, and as long as there is grass, there will be no hunger in the Turks.

But the key now is who will be patient when the herders can't fill their stomachs. And hunger is contagious, and for those poor herders, there may not be enough food to support the spring. But for herders with thousands of sheep, it's absolutely no problem to stay afloat.

But the point is that when everyone around you is hungry, even if they have enough food, they will unconsciously feel worried. This is the strange trait of human beings, who always like to accumulate food in disaster years.

"Let the priests hold a ceremony to appease the herdsmen."

Jieli can only do this, and the Turks have always practiced tribal rule. It's not like the Tang Dynasty at all, which connects the power of the entire Central Plains to the hands of the emperor, so he doesn't have any talk about disaster relief food. Even during war, it was the tribes that prepared the rations of their tribes. Therefore, once a disaster occurs, he cannot bring out a grain of grain.

And this is where Qin Ze points the second fire......

"Khan, Liu Yuge asks to see."

As soon as he heard Qin Ze appear, Jieli was also stunned. These days, he was busy dealing with natural disasters, but he really forgot about Qin Ze. Now that I suddenly heard that Qin Ze asked to see him, I didn't know how to feel it in my heart.

At the beginning, the technique of floor heating was carried out by itself, but who would have thought that it would become like this in the end? It wasn't that he didn't suspect Qin Ze, but when he thought about it, how could this be possible?

If it weren't for this year's blizzard, floor heating would definitely be a good thing, and it would only make the grassland stronger and stronger. And for his own sake, he almost lost his life, if he doubted him again, wouldn't it chill his heart.

Besides, Bai Diezi has to rely on Qin Ze a lot for this matter, as long as this thing can be grown, what is the current natural disaster. As long as his 100,000 iron horsemen are still there, as soon as the snow melts, won't there be food at the Datang border pass?

Jieli is right to think so, but the mistake is that Qin Ze really knows that there will be a snowstorm this year......

"Ahem~" Qin Ze's face was flushed, and his forehead was full of cold sweat. When I entered this tent, I coughed desperately.

Acting skills, what you want is three points of exaggeration!

Seeing Qin Ze's weak appearance, Jieli was also shocked in his heart. This is the man who gave his life for the grassland......

"Liu Yuge's body hasn't healed yet, so let's go back and rest." Ga Na Shu'er was on the side, and he also spoke out to comfort.

Qin Ze shook his head firmly, saluted at Jieli and said, "Khan, the minister is guilty. ”

"That's it, that's it. Providence is hard to disobey, so why should you blame yourself. Jieli waved his hand and comforted Qin Zedao.

Natural disasters are only temporary, but the floor heating white stacks are permanent. As long as this period of time is passed, the grassland will only get stronger and stronger!

"When the minister saw that the people were hungry, he was also very self-reproachful, and asked the Khan to punish him!" Qin Ze coughed frantically again as he spoke, looking like a fellow traveler who was about to die.

Jie Li was afraid that Qin Ze would lose his life if he was excited, so the gains would outweigh the losses. Hurriedly stopped him: "Since Liu Yuge is so hearted, it is better to substitute for Ben Khan (strictly speaking, the Khan also calls himself "I". Think about what to do. ”

The corners of Qin Ze's mouth were slightly hooked, waiting for Jieli's words. At that moment, he also said with a look of sincere fear: "Khan, the cold will soon subside, and the snow will melt. The only thing to do now is to reassure the people, as long as they can wait for the grass to grow, they will calm everything, but the problem is how to make the herders feel at ease. Speaking of this, Qin Ze coughed twice, and then said with difficulty: "The minister has heard an ancient saying called: "The people are as precious as ointment, and they are prosperous in peace", and now if you want to stabilize the hearts of the people, you must do something that makes them feel at ease. And this extraction of taxes is one of them. ”

Jieli couldn't hear what Qin Ze meant, but he frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Where do the people get to pay taxes now?" ”

"Khan, the people don't have it, but the powerful do."

"Never." As soon as Qin Ze's words were finished, Ga Nashu'er stood up and stopped him: "If the Khan attacks the powerful, I'm afraid it will only cause them to be dissatisfied. And once they are out of the Khan's control, that's the most dangerous thing. ”

Qin Ze had long known that Ga Na Shu'er would stop it, but the biggest difference between him and Ga Na Shu'er was that every strategy Qin Ze made was a step forward. So that he can always take the initiative.

Qin Ze listened to Ga's words, and shook his head with a smile and said, "The people and the powerful are both the people of the Khan, so they should naturally enjoy the same treatment. But for the people, they have to hand over 100 sheep every year, which is definitely a big burden for them. Because it could be a tenth of all their possessions, or more. But for those powerful people who own tens of thousands of sheep, a hundred is simply not worth mentioning.

So this method of taxation has its own shortcomings, and now is the time to make up for them. ”

"What do you mean?" Jieli was obviously moved.

"Khan, although the powerful people are not starving at this time, they are also fluctuating in people's hearts, and I am afraid that it is not appropriate to raise taxes on them now." Ga Nashu'er reminded him again, this old guy has already made up his mind that he can't raise taxes, so no matter what Qin Ze says, he will make up such a sentence.

Qin Ze turned his head and nodded at Ga Nashu'er, signaling that he agreed with his statement, and then said to Jieli: "The minister has also heard Mr. say before, the Central Plains etiquette legal system is the most complicated. But it is these etiquette laws and regulations that have allowed them to survive tenaciously in the midst of repeated hardships. Because with these, the shortcomings of human nature will be obscured by the rules, and the advantages will be stimulated to the maximum.

Make the best use of things, and people stand in their place. Naturally, they had their advantages, and now was the Khan's opportunity to establish a legal system of etiquette.

The tax increase mentioned by the minister was not intended for the Khan to be implemented immediately. Instead, he took the opportunity to tell the herders of the grasslands that there would soon be a large amount of tax revenue to help them. And this is just a rhetoric, as for the complete implementation can wait until the horses and sheep are fat. ”

"What do you mean?" Jieli looked at Qin Ze and thought about it carefully.

Qin Ze's suggestion can not only stabilize the hearts of the people, but also allow him to take this opportunity to strengthen his power.

Kill two birds with one stone!

The Turks have always been learning from the Central Plains, and the significance of this lies in Jieli's thirst for power. He didn't come rightfully as a khan, he had robbed his nephew of Tuli's position, which made him very uneasy.

And it was this uneasiness that made him interested in the Tang Dynasty Li Er's dynasty. And Qin Ze took advantage of this to bewitch Jieli and increase taxes.

"What does Liu Yuge mean to let the Khan fool the world?"

Ga Nashu'er obviously heard the meaning of Qin Ze's words, and now it would definitely not work to suddenly propose to raise taxes. But if you adopt the way Qin Ze said, first propose it and then let the magnates slowly adapt. That is a kind of psychological comfort for the people. Because it is foreseeable that no one will pay taxes at all in the short term.

This is a scam compiled from the emperor to the magnates!

"Taxes have to be increased, but they can't be rushed. Taking this opportunity to propose it is naturally in line with the will of the people, and at the same time it gives them enough time. I believe that during this period of time, we will be able to stabilize the hearts of the people, and once the tax is successfully implemented in the future, it will be a good thing for the grassland. And you don't need to add too much, follow the gradual progress and there will be a day when it will be realized. ”

After Qin Ze finished speaking in one breath, the whole person coughed again. Jieli raised his eyebrows, and when he saw that Ga Nashu was still talking, he immediately stretched out his hand and interrupted: "Liu Yuge is unwell, so don't show up, let's go back and rest." ”

When he sees it, he will accept it, Qin Ze naturally understands this truth, and when he heard the words, he also stroked his chest and retreated.

As soon as I got out of the tent, I hadn't walked a few steps yet. Qin Ze saw a familiar figure, but it was not the plain clothes he hadn't seen for a long time.

If Qin Ze couldn't see that the other party was waiting for him here, he would really be a fool. After walking a few steps quickly, he came up, bowed and saluted, "I don't know why the girl in plain clothes is waiting here today?" ”

Su Yi glanced at Qin Ze and looked at his chest again, then frowned and said with some curiosity: "We saved you for five days that day, but there is still no way." Now that you are standing in front of me, it is really incomprehensible. ”

"Maybe it was the friendship of the girl in plain clothes that touched the wolf god Ashina, so I let the boy come back and talk to the girl in plain clothes." Qin Ze said unhurriedly.

"Phew~" Qiu Yue on the side spat at Qin Ze, obviously he had never seen such a cheeky person.

Su Yi didn't have any expression, but continued: "I came to you today, first, because you were about to have erysipelas, and secondly, to ask about Hu Shang. ”
