People are very simple animals, and there are not many desires, but with the development of social economy, people's desires are getting longer and longer, and finally they lose a lot of beautiful things.

I don't know when it started, it costs money to guide the way, it costs money to retrieve corpses, and without money it seems that everything is not worth doing, and the original virtue has long been lost.

All this is because society is developing too fast, and people are changing too fast, so fast that before we can react, everything has changed, and our thinking cannot keep up with the speed of change.

Lin Fan was very glad that he didn't return to the original world, if he still stayed in the original world after being reborn, he wouldn't be able to feel the life full of beauty and a different way of life now, but it was far better than the intrigue in the later life.

With forty students, he lived a full and chic life every day, even if the locust plague was now, he still lived the life he wanted, but today, after the second stunned man came in and said a word, he faintly felt that his life was about to change.

In the Lin Academy, Ling'er, who was sitting by the window, didn't know why the teacher let the students study on their own after the second stunned man came in and said something in his ear, so he hurriedly left the backyard with the second stunned son, looking in the direction of the main living room.

Curiosity made Ling'er unable to sit still, quietly ran out of the classroom, followed, after walking to a tree outside the main hall, Ling'er found that the teacher and Zhou Gonggong went in together, the door was closed by the two stunned, and I don't know what the two of them were doing sneaking inside.

"Why did Father-in-law Zhou come to the mansion today, what is he doing looking for a teacher, it feels weird." Ling'er frowned, looked at this scene, and muttered to herself.

It didn't take long for her to think of something, and she muttered again: "Presumably, the queen mother is coming again to get the corset that has just been made recently, and the new ratio of mint perfume, uh, yes, it must be so." ”

"But normally, he only came to pick it up on the New Day every month, and there are still a few days before the New Year's Day, so he shouldn't have come for this this time."

"Dumbfounded."

Hearing the call from the big tree, the second stunned son followed the voice to see Ling'er, and ran over with a smile to ask her what she commanded.

Ling'er pointed to the main hall and asked, "What are Lin Fan and Grandpa Zhou doing inside, making it so mysterious and closing the door so tightly."

The second stunned man said with a smile: "I don't know, hehe, this thing also hurts me a lot."

"What are you laughing at, be serious!" Ling'er glared at the second stunned, which made him immediately restrain his smile, and said with a sad face: "Sister Ling'er, I really don't know, I'm only responsible for informing, who knows what they're doing inside, they ......"

Ling'er was very impatient with the second stunned chatter, she waved her hand to take the second stunned away, so as not to annoy her ears, she found that the second stunned child had been talking more verbose since staying with the teacher for a long time, and her speech was becoming more and more like the teacher, which Ling'er deeply agreed, because she was also like that, and what she said became more and more vernacular, just like the teacher did in class, and the textbook wrote.

Ling'er stayed here, and after about a quarter of an hour, the door finally opened, and Zhou Gonggong walked out happily, still carrying a rosewood box in his hand, looking happy, obviously talking well with the teacher.

The teacher stood at the door and watched Gonggong Zhou go out of the gate with a smile, and then walked towards the direction of the school with his hands behind his back, Ling'er immediately walked out from behind the big tree, jumped to the teacher with a smile and asked, "Teacher, what are you doing sneaking in with Gonggong Zhou just now?"

Lin Fan pouted and said: "What kind of, what is sneaky, the teacher is okay to go in with Father-in-law Zhou openly, children don't know how to talk nonsense."

Ling'er didn't mind Lin Fan's foul words at all, and walked side by side with Lin Fan with a smile, asking as she walked: "Why did Father-in-law Zhou come to you, you have been talking for so long."

Lin Fan said: "Give them advice...... Oh, by the way, when you begged in the streets and alleys of Chang'an all year round, you found that there is a place in Chang'an that is more hidden than here, and it is better to find the kind that people can't find. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I have to hide during this time, I don't want to be beaten to death by their sticks, and even if I don't, their saliva will be enough to drown me."

Ling'er asked suspiciously, "Why, teacher, how are you ......doing well?"

"The teacher is in big trouble, hey, don't talk about it, the school will be on vacation from tomorrow."

"For ......" Ling'er wanted to ask the reason, but saw the teacher humming a little song and walked to the other side, how he looked like he was causing trouble, Ling'er really couldn't understand.

There is a rosewood box on the dressing table of the eldest grandson in the Lizheng Palace, as soon as Gonggong Zhou retreated, the eldest grandson couldn't wait to open it and rummage inside, and finally found a cloth full of words in a delicate underwear, and Boss Li behind her took the cloth, and after reading the content above, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Lin Fan really has a lot of ideas." Boss Li smiled and handed the cloth to the eldest grandson, the strategy inside won his heart, and the haze in his heart suddenly dissipated.

The eldest grandson put down the cloth and said with a smile: "This son has a dark heart, he bought old grain from merchants and hundreds of officials and sold it back at a high price, and now he has proposed to let them donate grain, hehe, they must not be happy in their hearts." ”

Boss Li laughed and said, "No one is willing, hehe, but I decree that they have to obey." ”

The eldest grandson smiled and said: "They are unwilling, but they can only obediently obey in front of the holy decree, but they will have resentment against Your Majesty in their hearts." ”

Boss Li smiled and said, "There is resentment, but I have a way to transfer it." ”

The eldest grandson looked at Li Laodao with a smile: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Boss Li looked out the window and said with a smile: "If I let them know who this plan came from, Guanyin thinks that they are resentful of me or the person who offered the plan?" ”

The eldest grandson smiled: "It must be the one who gives the plan... Your Majesty is wise, and the concubine is happy as Your Majesty. ”

Boss Li laughed, and hugged the eldest grandson in excitement, the eldest grandson leaned softly on his chest, with a happy smile on his face, and after being excited, Boss Li looked at the still gloomy sky, and sighed lightly: "With the donation of grain from various merchants and officials in Chang'an, this locust plague can be passed safely, and the boulder in my heart has finally fallen." ”

The eldest grandson nodded with a smile and said, "Your Majesty relieves your worries and does not offend people, killing two birds with one stone." ”

After Boss Li laughed heartlessly, he suddenly frowned and asked, "Guanyin, how do you think I should be rewarded, after all, Lin Fan has a good plan for me, and he has to accept everyone's scolding." ”

The eldest grandson thought for a while and said: "But a small seal can also be a big seal, and the effect is naturally different, it depends on how Your Majesty chooses." ”

Boss Li looked at the eldest grandson and said, "Could it be that Guanyin already knows it in her heart?" ”

The eldest grandson said leisurely while pacing: "Xiao Feng is very satisfied with Lin Fan, because he only contributes ideas, but the main force is the person he has pitted, putting aside the resentment of the hundred officials against Lin Fan, it is reasonable in the eyes of the hundred officials, this has little effect, and it is only useful to Lin Fan alone."

As for the big seal, it can play a role in checks and balances. ”

"Checks and balances?" Boss Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was even more interested in the eldest grandson's words.

The eldest grandson nodded and continued: "Although the Wang family has faded out of the court, His Majesty is still a headache for the major wealthy families in the court, and the power of the wealthy families has always been a thorn in His Majesty's heart.

His Majesty used Lin Fan's plan to relieve the disaster as an excuse to reseal his merits, and the hearts of the hundred officials will definitely be unhappy, especially the wealthy families who were once deeply favored, they are even more aware that the current situation is not as good as in the past, so that they can feel that their status in His Majesty's heart is declining, so that they can restrain their attitude.

Promote not the powerful people, suppress the powerful people, so that the situation can be balanced, Your Majesty does not need to bother with brains, take the golden mean, who is weak will help whom, who is strong will control whom, until the balance of power between the two sides is broken, such as one side is broken, one side remains, then Your Majesty can use this method to support another person, to sanction the still in the middle of the day, Your Majesty only needs to control the strength of the checks and balances, so that the beneficiary party does not see that His Majesty is using him, nor let the disgraced party see that His Majesty promoted another person to deal with him, In this way, the court can be stable for thousands of generations. ”

Boss Li's eyes were still shining, with a smile in his eyes, and he said while pacing: "This method is very agreeable, it can not only benefit the powerless party more, but also make the big power side fall out of favor, very good, very good..." Guanyin, how did you think of this method, why can't I think of it? ”

The eldest grandson said with a smile: "The concubine body is just associated with Lin Fan, and the concubine body thinks that since Lin Fan is used, it has to come in handy, and thinks that Your Majesty has always been troubled by the wealthy family, so she came up with this method of checks and balances, and she can't think of it is in line with Your Majesty's intentions, and the concubine body is also grateful." ”

Boss Li laughed and said: "I have Guanyin, my country can be stable for eternity, Guanyin, with you, it is my blessing." ”

The eldest grandson smiled and said: "Your Majesty has won the award, and the concubine body just happened to think of it, and in terms of the ability to govern the country, the concubine body will never be half as good as Your Majesty." ”

Boss Li laughed loudly all around the Lizheng Palace, and after a long laugh, he hugged his eldest grandson and said, "But there is one thing I think is inappropriate. ”

"The concubine listens to you."

"It doesn't hurt to let both sides know my intentions, there will be no one in the world who can't stand the temptation of power, there will always be someone who is willing to do so, even if he knows that I am using him, as for the strong side, it is better to know my intentions, so that it will be more timely to converge, if you want to be an official in the court, you must abide by my laws, if anyone can't stand it, then get out of the government and the opposition."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Boss Li laughed and called for the Yellow Gate Squire to come in, and said loudly: "Xuan Lin Fan will make a pilgrimage tomorrow morning!" ”
