The beauty raised her head slightly, with a charming smile between her starry eyes.

However, even when the beautiful woman in front of her is smiling, there is a melancholy in her elegance.

As she sat closer, Leon could smell a faint scent like an orchid musk, faint but intoxicating.

"What news did Li Langjun hear?"

Gongsun Jin is a servant of the ministry, and Li Ang is friendly with Gongsun Jin's son, which can't help but make Xiao Luan suspect that he has heard some inside information.

Li Ang laughed and said: "Mrs. Xiao thinks too much, this is just my personal speculation." In fact, even if the imperial court wants to return the right to operate salt and iron tea to the official camp, it is impossible to implement it immediately, which involves the interests of too many people;

Moreover, although Datang does have hidden worries, it has not been exposed, and it will not immediately nationalize the salt and iron tea business, Xiao Niangzi can rest assured. ”

Xiao Luan said with a smile: "If the imperial court really nationalizes the right to operate salt and iron tea, the biggest loss should be Li Langjun." What is there to worry about the slave family? It's just that why Li Langjun came up with such a speculation, the slave family wanted to know very much, and asked Li Langjun to give advice. ”

Xiao Luan's ten fingers were like spring onions, and he poured him a glass of wine. Li Ang took it and raised his glass to her, Xiao Luan had to also pick up his wine glass and drink with him.

"Now, under the rule of more than 30 years of hard work, Datang has achieved unprecedented prosperity, and Datang's interests have continued to extend outward.

Datang implemented the Juntian system, and the original military and tax systems were all based on the Juntian system, but with the passage of time. Land annexation is becoming more and more serious, and the government and military system have existed in name only;

Now the imperial court can only switch to the conscription system. This also made the military expenditure of the Tang Dynasty increase from one or two million per year in the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. It has rapidly climbed to more than 10 million yuan a year, and this expenditure alone has increased tenfold compared with the original.

However, under the serious land annexation, a large amount of land was included in the names of the bureaucratic elites who were exempted from taxation, and the same system of rent adjustment and taxation based on the equalization system of land was also established, and the taxes that could be collected were constantly reduced.

Military spending has increased sharply, taxes have decreased, and the other has risen, and the thirty years of life and gathering since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty have been squandered. What does Xiao Niangzi think will happen to the Guilds of the Central Dynasty? ”

After listening to Li Ang's words, Xiao Luan couldn't help but be impressed. As a small "grass people", it is not easy for Li Ang to have such a vision and see through the hidden dangers of Datang.

From another point of view, if Li Ang is the prime minister of the DPRK and China, then he can at least come up with a solution to the financial deficit of the Tang Dynasty.

Does that stop at his talents?

Xiao Luan doesn't think so.

It can be seen from the agency sales method he pioneered that he suddenly amassed an astonishing fortune in a short period of time. Leon's talent doesn't stop there.

The April breeze swept through the grass and trees outside the flower hall, and small buds had already grown on the pomegranate trees. A pair of white butterflies fluttering on the tree, their posture is so light.

Remembering the legacy of the ancestors. Xiao Luan's willow-like eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly. She is just a woman in the end, and deep down she has no hope of completing the legacy of her ancestors, after all, it has been a hundred years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Lee's orthodoxy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

She couldn't help but look up at Li Ang again, the man in front of her. Extraordinary intelligence and ingenious means. is very good at taking advantage of the situation, in the past few months, he has turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands into rain, and even officials such as Cui Yin, Sun Deng, and Liao Zhongnan have either been manipulated by them or have been made disgraced.

If I can get his help, maybe I still have some hope of fulfilling my ancestry.

"Listening to your words, it is better to read for ten years, and the slave family has been taught. Li Langjun, please drink this cup! Xiao Luan was more delicate than flowers, smiled elegantly, and raised the jade cup.

"It's just casual nonsense, Mrs. Xiao doesn't have to take it seriously." Li Ang picked up his wine glass, drank with her again, and then said with a smile: "Mrs. Xiao is naturally beautiful and intelligent, presumably the family has been stepped through by the matchmaker, right?" Didn't your parents choose a good family for you? ”

"The little girl's parents died early, and she was raised by the master, and now the master has also passed away, leaving only the little girl alone." Speaking of these, the smile on Xiao Luan's face disappeared, and the melancholy temperament became even more obvious.

Li Ang arched his hand and said: "I don't want Xiao Niangzi's life experience to be so miserable, I am really sorry that what I said below is so offended." ”

"Your offense doesn't stop there." Xiao Luan's mouth chuckled, and for a while, her face was dyed with jade, and her beauty was infinite.

Li Ang wanted to find out her details at first, but he didn't expect her to answer like this, so he immediately laughed and said, "No, right?" When did you offend Mrs. Xiao next? ”

Xiao Luan glanced at him, looked at the blue afternoon sky outside the flower hall, and then asked: "At the time of bidding yesterday, the woman sitting next to the slave family can be said to be the bell spirit of heaven and earth. ”

"Yes." Li Angle smiled, "Everyone in Huojing County knows that she is my wife." ”

"Li Langjun is really a blessing, the little woman Zhu Xian and his wife ......"

"Stop, the boss lady has run away!"

"Huh? What proprietress ran away? ”

In these years, there is no such title as boss, and Li Ang doesn't want others to call him Li Dongjia, Li Shopkeeper or something, which will brand himself as a "cheap businessman". So he asked his subordinates to call themselves bosses, anyway, no one knows what the boss means these days.

Thinking of his strange title, Xiao Luan understood what he meant by the proprietress he meant, and couldn't help laughing dumbly: "Li Langjun said that he was joking, right?" ”

Li Ang smiled: "Okay, it's just a joke with Mrs. Xiao, that girl has a noble family, how can she marry a grass man like me." ”

Since ancient times, secular marriages have been about the right person, and this concept can be said to be deep-rooted.

Like the five surnames and seven wangs of the Tang Dynasty, they regard themselves as high-ranking families, and some even disdain to intermarry with royal families with Xianbei blood (Li Yuan's maternal grandfather was a Xianbei nobleman Dugu as he wished).

If you look at the door, Li Ang and Yang Nan are indeed impossible.

"Li Langjun is a genius, and it is not surprising that he will be crowned a marquis in Japan, so why should he be humble?"

Li Ang laughed: "Mrs. Xiao is really so optimistic about me? ”

Xiao Luan swept the hair on her forehead with her jade fingers, and the fragrance emanating from her body was as light as an orchid, and she said calmly: "What the little woman said, every sentence came from the bottom of her heart, and Li Langjun's talent really made the little woman admire." ”

"Oh? Li Ang said with a smile, "Then if I ask the media to come to ask for a kiss, will Mrs. Xiao refuse to leave?" ”

Xiao Luan said with a smile: "Li Langjun is laughing again, how can the slave family's puliu posture enter Li Langjun's eyes." ”

"Hahaha......."

The two of them chatted about wine, and the sky was wide, but they were also happy.

The beauty and wine can be in the throat, and when the two of them have two points of alcohol, Xiao Luanyan chanted delicately: "Luotuo Jianghu carries wine, Chu waist is slender and light in the palm, and he dreams of Chengdu once in ten years, and wins the name of Qinglou Bo Xing." ”

"Hahaha, where did Mrs. Xiao hear that?"

"Li Lang's masterpiece, how many people in Huojing County don't know?"

Hearing Xiao Luan call himself Li Lang, Li Ang felt a lot more cordial, it is a common phenomenon for men to call "Lang", but it is generally called "a certain Lang" or someone who is relatively close to him.

He rarely told the truth this time: "Heh, Mrs. Xiao misunderstood, in fact, this poem was not written by me, but by others." ”

"Slave doesn't believe it." Xiao Luan's smile was a little more girlish and shy, "Is Li Lang really such a lucky person?" ”

Li Ang raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded with a smile, and said, "Xiao Niang, be careful, don't be happy with someone like me." ”

He thinks he is a lucky person, such a person is rare, Xiao Luan didn't expect him to answer like this, his eyes flowed over him, and then stretched out his jade fingers like spring onions, held a pot and poured wine, and raised his glass to invite: "Don't hide it from Li Lang, it's the first time in these years that the slave has talked to someone about wine." Li Lang is talented, I wonder if the slave is fortunate to be given a poem by Li Lang? ”

"Xiao Niangzi is afraid that she is looking for the wrong person, not long ago I came to Qiongzhou from Chengdu with Gongsun Jingyu, and I was ridiculed by the little girl who picked mulberry on the side of the road, peeled off the skin, and clearly divided two straw bales, hahaha......"

"Li Lang laughed again, but isn't the slave family worthy of Li Lang's gift of poetry?" After Xiao Luan finished speaking, he couldn't help but cover his lips and smile, his beauty was like a lotus, and the fragrance was far and clear.

"Okay, since Mrs. Xiao has said this, I'm afraid I can't do it if I don't offer ugliness. Anyway, I'm a thick-skinned person, and I don't mind people laughing at me for being a straw bag, hahaha......"

Li Anglang smiled, looking at the April garden outside the flower hall, so quiet and serene, looking at the beauty opposite, so elegant and fragrant. So he casually recited: "This scene at this time, this person at this moment." Hongchen has an infinite road, who can live together? ”

This poem is really not good, but after Xiao Luan listened to it, she didn't dare to look at him again, she turned her head away and looked at Fang Yuanjing.

When Li Ang said goodbye, Xiao Luan personally sent him to the gate and watched him go far away before turning back to the courtyard.

A white-haired old woman stood under the eaves of the corridor with a dragon's head cane, Xiao Luan hurriedly greeted her a few steps, went up to help her and said, "Mother-in-law, why did you come out?" ”

The old woman patted the back of her hand kindly and said, "Girl, you won't be tempted by this Li Lang, right?" ”

"Why! Mother-in-law, don't talk nonsense. Xiao Luan's face suddenly turned slightly red.

"You, can't you see that little bit of thought?" As she spoke, the old woman and Xiao Luan walked through the side door on the left and went to the backyard.

"Mother-in-law, you really think too much." The shame on Xiao Luan's face faded, and his eyebrows rose again, "Today's Li Tang, after Li Longji's thirty years of governance, Wu Zhou's legacy has been completely uprooted, and Li Tang Guozuo is becoming more and more stable. ”
