Chapter 124: The husband sings and the wife follows

Su Meiniang, who realized that Li Wenxuan was not joking with herself, noticed that his cold eyes flashed, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Since he is the head of the family, it is natural that he should not go against his will. She nodded and agreed, so she naturally had to do what he wanted.

Before Su Meiniang turned around and left, she clarified the responsibility according to the truth and said: "There is no problem with the three hundred acres of land controlled by the slave family here, and the rent reduction is implemented. However, the 500 acres of land that the one in the West Courtyard married over is not within my control. ”

"You just have to do your own thing, and that's it. As for Lin Ruoxi's side, I'll go over and talk to her. Li Wenxuan, who knew it in his heart, could hear that there was a temperament in her words, and he wanted him to treat everyone equally.

After speaking, he said that he was about to do it, so he went directly to Lin Ruoxi in the West Courtyard to talk about the reduction and exemption of tenants' taxes, after all, there must be a drought this year. Although Li Wenxuan said that he could not let all the affected people get benefits, he tried his best to save people with the attitude of doing his best.

Lin Ruoxi, who was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard outside the house reading a book, was too focused to notice that he walked in. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he snatched the book from her hand at once, and said with a smile: "What kind of book to read, I am so fascinated by it, I didn't even notice it when I walked in." If I were a bad guy, I wouldn't just be robbing your books. ”

Lin Ruoxi, who was smiling, raised her head slightly to look at him, stretched out a Qianqian jade hand and said, "If you are really a villain, I'm afraid you won't stand in front of me alive." How old are you, still playing like this, give me back the book. ”

Li Wenxuan, who deliberately hid the book behind him, shook his head with a smile. Lin Ruoxi, who didn't play with him, told Qiu Yue, who had been standing beside him to fan the wind, to make a cup of tea. She put the golden silk fan in her hand on the stone table, turned around and walked with small steps.

Li Wenxuan, who sat down, returned the book in his hand to her, and said without beating around the bush: "The rain this year is far less than usual, I'm afraid there will be a drought." My intention is to reduce the tenants' rents. ”

Lin Ruoxi, who put the book aside, naturally understood the meaning of his words. She picked up her golden silk fan, shook it gently, and said with a smile: "The purpose of the Xianggong coming to me is to ask me to reduce the rent of the 500 acres of land that I married. ”

"The field is yours, so the husband is only consulting with you. Whether or not you are willing to do as I do is entirely up to you. Li Wenxuan, who did not force her to do what she wanted, said in a calm tone.

"What's yours, mine? Even I am yours. Since I am already married to you, then mine is yours. Lin Ruoxi, who didn't stop his movements, said four words with a smile to show his attitude: "The husband sings and the wife follows." ”

"Lady, mercy. On behalf of the tenants, I would like to thank you for your kindness. Li Wenxuan, who didn't see her and was a little hesitant and reluctant, was very happy that she could be consistent with herself.

"Xianggong doesn't have to praise me." Lin Ruoxi, who knew the stakes, said with a smile: "If I don't agree, I'm afraid you will be unhappy." Instead of letting you have a bad opinion of me, it's better to let me do as you like. The one-year rent of 500 acres of land is not much converted into cash, so I made this a favor. ”

Li Wenxuan, who knew her, knew that it was not her true thoughts, and suddenly joked: "You are really a young lady who grew up in a big family, and you look down on these three melons and two dates." ”

"Actually, you and I both know that the purpose of this is very beneficial. Although it is a little less money, it is very beneficial for fame and buying people's hearts. Lin Ruoxi, who stopped fanning, said to Pantuo: "Presumably, in the near future, your Li Wenxuan's name will be synonymous with benevolence and righteousness." Not necessarily, our tenants will also set up an immortal card for you. Thanks to Dade, they will definitely work harder and diligently to cultivate our family's fields in the days to come. ”

"Do good deeds without asking for anything in return, and ask for something in return without doing good deeds." Li Wenxuan, who smiled bitterly, did not be hypocritical, but said the truest thoughts in his heart: "The words of the lady do talk about the fact that spending money for fame and buying people's hearts is actually said. However, the purpose of this move for the husband is really not for this one. ”

"Good people have good rewards. Since Xianggong's starting point is good, it is natural that there should be such a result. Lin Ruoxi, who put down the fan in his hand, felt a little dry mouth, so he took a sip of the tea on the stone table, and continued: "My father doesn't have such a far-sighted gaze as Xianggong. The same thing will fall on him, and the plan is to take advantage of the opportunity to make money. At this time, I guess he was so happy that he wished for a great drought that had not been seen in a century. If that's the case, I don't know how many people will die in Ludao? ”

Qiu Yue held a cup of tea in both hands and put it in front of Li Wenxuan. Standing back beside her young lady, she picked up the golden wire fan on the stone table, and continued to fan Lin Ruoxi in an orderly manner.

Li Wenxuan is also well aware of Lin Ruoxi's pre-insight. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to see him starving, so he said worriedly: "Why don't you go home and persuade your father, don't ask him to reduce the rent of the tenants like us, but beg him not to raise the price of rice in the disaster year." ”

"Even if I went home and became a lobbyist, it wouldn't help. Except for my father's idea, my two brothers definitely don't want to miss this opportunity to make money. Lin Ruoxi smiled lightly and said, "My father's opinion of you, you are not ignorant." On that day, you took the opportunity to knock him on a large bamboo pole, and the dowry from my marriage and coming over is not a small amount. If such an opportunity arises, my father will definitely get it back with interest. So, no matter what I say, he won't listen. ”

"I just don't know if the government and the imperial court will curb the price of rice and help the victims? If the strength is not enough, I am afraid that there will be chaos. Li Wenxuan, who could not still develop freely from this situation, said another of his thoughts.

"In the year of the great calamity, officials were full of money, merchants hoarded, and officials and businessmen colluded with each other...... There have been such examples in all dynasties, and the list is endless. Lin Ruoxi, who would not think that he didn't know what to do, hit the nail on the head and said: "The imperial court will definitely send money and food for disaster relief." However, I don't know how much of the road has fallen into the hands of the victims. ”

Li Wenxuan, who was unwilling, really didn't have the ability to help the world at the same time: "Is it possible, let's just watch it like this?" ”

"Xianggong, I know that you care about their life and death, but you and I have completely done our duty. Even if we can give some money and food for charity, it will only be a drop in the bucket. This natural disaster did not come, but man-made disasters began to move. Lin Ruoxi used this incident to motivate his Xianggong: "If Xianggong wants to save more people in the world, then he has to hold great power." ”

Li Wenxuan, who was kind of enlightened, thought deeply and said: "The lady's words suddenly made me suddenly. In the past, I was too focused on small profits and small righteousness, and ignored the big interests and righteousness. In the future, I will devote my life to the latter. ”

Lin Ruoxi, who felt very relieved, finally saw him and put her heart to heart. She didn't feel that she had married the wrong person, and she was extremely happy: "A husband should have such a mind and ambition." ”

Qiu Yue, who didn't speak, honestly stood next to her, although she didn't know what the two were talking about, but she saw her own young lady, and she liked and cared about her uncle very much. At the same time, not only Li Wenxuan, who treats Lin Ruoxi as his own woman, but also regards her as his confidant. In his opinion, Su Meiniang does not have her far-sighted, long-term pragmatism, and foresight, while Zhao Tianer is a little child who only has herself in her head and has not grown up.

Li Wenxuan asked for her opinion and said: "Lady, what do you think a husband can do for them and even the general public in addition to reducing or reducing the rents of tenants?" ”

Lin Ruoxi, who pondered for a while, returned to the official economy to persuade him: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government." I still suggest that Xianggong should put his body and mind on the imperial examination. When you become an official in the future, you can benefit one party. ”

If Li Wenxuan, who talked to her about this topic on weekdays, he would just deal with it casually. However, the topic he talked about today really made him think deeply. No matter how good your medical skills are, you can only cure diseases, not cure your hunger. If you want to cure your stomach and not be hungry, you have to rely on whole grains and other foods.

Li Wenxuan, who can't conjure food out of thin air, knows that fair distribution is the most effective way. If you want to have the right to distribute resources fairly, then the most direct way is to become an official through the imperial examination. The bigger the official, the more power he has, and the more resources he can naturally deploy.

Lin Ruoxi, who noticed that he didn't speak, thought that his words made him disgusted again. She didn't continue to persuade her, and she didn't want to incur Li Wenxuan's rebellious mentality, so she didn't say more, but changed an irrelevant topic and said: "Since Xianggong came to me, then you must stay and taste my chef's specialty here." ”

"It's delicious." Li Wenxuan, who no longer continued to think about it, followed her words and responded with a smile: "Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." I've heard for a long time that your kitchenette is more delicious than the chef in the Invitation Building. ”

"Xianggong, not only did you praise me by saying this, but even the slaves and maids on my side were praised by you." Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips and smiled.
