"So, it's funny that you've had people go out on the street to sell exam questions, but at least your intentions are correct. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info," Ringo commented.

But Xiao Mu's original intention of letting the eunuchs in the palace sell exam questions on the street and monopolize the teaching and auxiliary market in the capital was not to make money, but because he heard Lin Ye's words that "he is not as good as those charlatans", he did it in order to fight for a breath. Of course, it doesn't matter anymore, after all, he really didn't make any money in the end.

Therefore, Lin Yi's unexpected "compliment" made Xiao Mu also a little unsure of how to answer, so he had to continue the topic just now, "So, I want to study with Lai Zongdao, their cabinet and Bi Ziyan, the head of the household department, how to increase the income of the treasury, all say that financial management needs to be open source and reduce expenditure, but it is definitely not enough to reduce expenditure, although the situation in Daming is not good now, and it needs to be saved everywhere, but after all, money cannot be obtained by saving alone." ”

Lin Yi also agreed, "You can indeed discuss it with them, because it is impossible for them to know the climate and the situation in the next few years, maybe some of them think that this year's bad year is just a special case, and when the wind and rain are smooth next year, the current problem will naturally be solved, and you need to let them abandon this unrealistic illusion and be prepared for the situation to get worse and worse every year." ”

Xiao Mu felt that this was not simple, "It's just that this thing is easier said than done, and their ministers are not time-travelers like you and me, and I can't say that I don't know the ability of the prophet, even if I hold their ears and tell them that they agreed on the surface, but what is actually in their hearts, we have no way of knowing." ”

"How can there be so many simple things in the world?" Lin Yi asked rhetorically, "If it is really that simple, and the original historical Emperor Chongzhen is still so hardworking, how could the Ming Dynasty finally perish?" ”

"yes, thinking about what you said about 'ruling chaos,' I think I finally understand the meaning of the word 'politics.'" Xiao Mu also said with emotion - in fact, since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Mu often has a deeper understanding of the words that he knew before and are commonplace on weekdays, and when he saw Bi Ziyan before, he understood the profound thing "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", and this time, Xiao Mu felt that he finally understood the meaning of "politics", "There is also a 'politics in it' The word 'governance' means that through governance and a series of means, the world will be governed by a series of means, rather than the activities of the world's chaos. ”

"That's a good point." Lin Yi also agreed, "This is the goal of every politician, if it cannot be the great rule of the world, then it is not worthy of the title of a 'politician' in the society of later generations." ”

"Now that I think about it, if I can influence the people of the world through my own decrees, so that everyone can do the right thing and at the same time, make the world rule, this is the ideal state." Xiao Mu continued to analyze, "Without outstanding politicians to influence society and allocate resources, even if everyone is doing the right thing, the whole country may not be able to reap good results in the end, just like the Ming Dynasty in this period of history." ”

"This is to make the two things of 'governing chaos' and 'wrong and right' integrated, and at the same time 'right' can achieve the effect of 'governance', which is naturally what everyone wants to see, the ultimate goal of social development, and it is also the goal that you, the Ming Emperor, strive for." Lin Ye finally concluded.

"I'm afraid that by the day I die, I won't be able to reach this most ideal state." Xiao Mu also knew that this kind of thing was like the "ideal state" in scientific research in later generations, like "ignoring air resistance", "gravitational acceleration is calculated according to 10" and the like, but in fact, it cannot be perfectly achieved.

All in all, Xiao Mu's previous problems have been basically solved by Lin Yi - although he still uses Lin Ye's "temporary plan", that is, the self-hypnosis and comfort method of treating those mutiny leaders who were beheaded by Yuan Chonghuan as bad people, and has learned the difference between "governing chaos" and "wrong and right", and has also realized the most urgent thing at the moment, that is, to prepare enough money by all means to face the imminent and long-term natural and man-made disasters.

Now that Xiao Mu's problems have been solved, Xiao Mu and Lin Ye, who have no "business" to talk about, are suddenly full of embarrassment, this is undoubtedly because of Concubine Tian's pregnancy, it is obvious that Concubine Tian's pregnancy is not the same as Lin Ye, the body of Queen Zhou occupied by Lin Ye was pregnant before the two crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, and Concubine Tian was only found to be pregnant now, so needless to say, it must be Xiao Mu's "masterpiece" that occupied Emperor Chongzhen's body after crossing over......

Although it was very difficult to speak, Xiao Mu still explained the truth of the matter, "I was going to go to Empress Zhang, Concubine Tian, and Concubine Yuan to walk around that day, and it happened to be very hot, so when I was at Concubine Tian's, I drank a little herbal tea by the way......

"It's a good thing you didn't drink herbal tea from your sister-in-law." Obviously, Lin Yi didn't want to talk much about the topic that Xiao Mu talked about, and he didn't hesitate to give the eviction order, "Now that your business is over, I also have to rest." ”

"Empress Zhang didn't invite me to tea, I came out of her without a few words with her." But Xiao Mu was not obedient as before this time, but continued to explain in detail, "In short, I don't know what happened, I just remember that it was really hot that day, and the more I sat at Concubine Tian, the hotter it became, and then later, I didn't remember anything......"

"So, you still wish your sister-in-law would have invited you to a cup of tea?" It's just that Xiao Mu's persistence didn't bring a good result, but it made Lin Yi even more angry, "I just said that I'm very tired now and want to rest, please leave quickly, okay?" ”

"Not good." Xiao Mu actually had the courage to directly refuse Lin Yi's request, "I've always thought like this, the two of us are companions who have traveled to Daming together, for me, you are the only person I can trust in this time and space, I don't want to hide anything from you, and I don't want to have any estrangement with you, a companion who travels through the country, so I feel that nothing I do is necessary for you to know." ”

"And I've always done it on a daily basis," Xiao Mu finally added.
