Chen Xun laughed at himself, and then slowly walked out of the palace and went home to arrange matters. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

His Hun family is also a person who knows books and etiquette, and when he heard that he was going to go on a business trip, he didn't complain, but silently asked Chen Xun to pack his bags and tell him to pay attention to his body again and again.

Two days passed in a hurry, and when Chen Xun hid the golden coupon given by the emperor close to his body, he was about to set off. Speaking of God, yesterday evening, it was still pouring rain, but it was falling hard. As soon as night fell, the rain stopped. Look at the sky again, the stars are dotted, and there are still dark clouds!

What's even more strange is that the next day was actually sunny and shining, a midsummer scene. It is also Chen Xun's Hun family who is obedient, and the clothes prepared are mostly undershirts, otherwise, riding all the way to Henan Mansion, although it is a few days away, it is also uncomfortably hot.

The weather in the next few days all verified Chen Xun's prediction. Not only Jingzhao Mansion, but even Henan Mansion and Hezhong Mansion, which have the longest rainstorms, and even Xiping Mansion in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, Daimyofu in the lower reaches, Hejian Mansion, and Shandong East Road...... Miraculously, the rain stopped. The local people all say that it is the dragon king's manifestation, which makes the dragon king temple more incense. Lu Chengqi received a secret report from the Supervision Department and was suspicious. But the supervision departments everywhere said so, Lu Chengqi knew that Chen Xun really has unpredictable skills, needless to say, the weather prediction is more accurate than the weather forecast, and the weather forecast for later generations is only an accurate forecast within a week, Chen Xun is almost the same!

At the beginning of the heavy rain, those civil officials were still clamoring to continue to impeach Li Jie, and the impeachment charges were nothing more than "abusing the money and silver of the state treasury, wasting labor, and causing the people of Henan Prefecture to abandon their fields and ......". It wasn't until a week later, seeing that the sun was still shining, that they knew that Li Jie really had the ability to carry it alive.

If the impeachment fails, these civilian officials can't make a fuss about this matter, so they can only stop and wait for the next opportunity. In Lu Chengqi's view, these civil officials are not necessarily going to change for the better, and they are doing everything possible to sabotage the New Deal in order to safeguard their vested interests. I think they also smelled a hint and knew that he was going to attack the bureaucracy.

In fact, Lu Chengqi did quite obviously, and actually levied taxes on monks and Taoists without warning, regardless of agricultural and commercial enterprises. You must know that monks and Taoists are in a big sense, they are almost the same as those who are officials, and they are all privileged people who do not have to pay taxes. Now that monks and Taoists have to pay taxes, won't it be their turn to be officials soon?

Which one is an official, the family does not have a few acres of land, and even more, they take advantage of the loopholes in taxes to let their families open shops to make money. Because it is tax-free, you can fight a price war, and even if the quality is poor, you can make a lot of money. It's just that those businessmen who really do business have to compete with officials and businessmen, where can they compare in price? For the sake of sales, they can only knock out their teeth and swallow blood, and make money at a loss.

Lu Chengqi knows that once the market is unfair, then the root cause will be buried. Just look at the Ming Dynasty in the official history, you don't have to pay taxes if you win the promotion, how many officials raise people and vassal kings are so rich, but the imperial court can't even make up military expenses. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, how much silver did the Manchus snatch from these people! But they would rather watch the Ming Dynasty die than pay to save the court, these people should be killed!

If Lu Chengqi is not reborn, it is out of sight and out of mind; But since we have been reborn, we must "learn from history" and put an end to disasters once and for all. This has to touch the interests of vested interest groups, and Lu Chengqi is not sure of victory, so he is doing it step by step. But these officials are not vegetarians, and if they can't do you, won't they make a trick!

Otherwise, Lu Chengqi always sighed: "I'm not afraid of god-like enemies, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates!" ”

In his view, these civil officials are pig-like teammates, who turn a blind eye to the interests of the country and only take care of their own interests. This is also human nature, unless it is really a saint. Lu Chengqi wants to change, but he can't start. As long as it is still a society of private ownership, this human nature will always exist and cannot be changed.

Think about it, too, the officials who are familiar with the Confucian classics are like this, let alone future generations? On the contrary, ordinary people, there are not so many entanglements of interests, but they are very cute and warm-hearted......

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

With a few gentle calls, Lu Chengqi came back to his senses. I saw Zhou Zhiruo walking over with a not too obvious belly, and chuckled lightly on the side: "What does Your Majesty think, you are so fascinated?" ”

Lu Chengqi hurriedly stepped forward, held her hand, and said with concern: "Be careful, don't fall!" ”

Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "It's only been more than four months, so you don't have to be so careful." The imperial doctors have said that it is beneficial for the fetus to go out and walk around often. ”

Lu Chengqi also knew that Zhou Zhiruo was bored and was in the palace all day long. Also, there are so many kinds of games in ancient times, and there are even fewer suitable for women to play, almost confined to the palace, and there are not many things that can be done. No matter how big the palace is, those flowers and plants, pavilions and pavilions, two months down, Zhou Zhiruo is so familiar that she can't be more familiar, she won't see anything new, go out to play and watch the scenery, go to the Huangzhuang Welfare Institute, not to mention Lu Chengqi, even Zhou Zhiruo herself, is also a little worried, after all, the first three months, and the next three months, is a dangerous period, in order to prevent possible accidents, or stay in the palace to raise the fetus with peace of mind, it is right.

Pregnant in the body, such as swings, shuttlecocks, fireflies and other fierce sports, must not be contacted, elegant and leisurely games, Zhou Zhiruo likes again, nothing more than Go, boring, you can also listen to the music, anyway, there are Xianshao envoys in the palace. But if you play too much chess, you can also get bored; I listen to too many songs, and I am also annoyed. No, Zhou Zhiruo found a new job and began to be a female celebrity.

Lu Chengqi saw that Zhou Zhiruo came to the Vertical Arch Palace, and he also carried embroidery with him, and said distressedly: "Zitong, this needlework is easy to pierce your hands, and it was just before, but now I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate." ”

When Zhou Zhiruo approached, Lu Chengqi grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's soft hair: "It is often said that ten fingers are connected to the heart, and there are many acupuncture points, and if they are pierced, who knows if there will be anything wrong......" Lu Chengqi is concerned about it, Zhou Zhiruo listened to it, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, where is the concubine so valuable!" It's just embroidering some small shirts for our children. ”

After becoming pregnant, Zhou Zhiruo's temperament became more supple, but what she insisted on doing, even Lu Chengqi couldn't persuade her: "Your Majesty, look, this is the picture of the concubine show, how about it?" ”

Lu Chengqi took the embroidery and looked at it, but it hadn't been finished yet, so he naturally couldn't see anything, and said bluntly: "I can't see it......"

"You don't know flattery and flattery, but the concubine has put a lot of thought into it!" Zhou Zhiruo said.

Lu Chengqi hurriedly apologized: "Zitong, I was wrong, this drama is simply ingenious and lifelike...... A lot of rhetoric popped out of his mouth, which was very exaggerated, which made Zhou Zhiruo feel angry again. There is a way, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, Lu Chengqi doesn't understand why it is wrong for him to tell the truth, and it is also wrong to say flattery, so in the end he can only resort to a "trick" and take Zhou Zhiruo into his arms. Zhou Zhiruo struggled for a while, then gave up, smelling the familiar male smell, Zhou Zhiruo's previous irritable heart also settled down, and muttered two "Your Majesty......" (to be continued. )
