Chapter 102: It's Hard
Crown Prince Wei Cheng and Dazai Zhao Shuo, such a combination, in the Great Xia Dynasty in terms of status, except for the Great Xia monarch, there should be no one who can compare with it.
But with such a combination, he actually stood respectfully at the door of this inn.
This made the people who came and went all show puzzled and surprised looks: Who is the person in here?
However, neither Wei Cheng nor Zhao Shuo were people who couldn't hold their breath, the two of them were waiting here, and when they were looked at by the people who came and went, there was no superfluous expression on their faces.
Gao Fang, who was sent to protect Dazai, was even more of an old god.
Finally, the innkeeper was so frightened that his hands and feet trembled, and he walked out of the inn and said respectfully: "The prince invites you to come in!"
Hearing this, Wei Cheng bowed slightly to the innkeeper: "The old man is tired!"
"Ahhh......h Don't dare, don't dare!" The shopkeeper was almost scared to death by Wei Cheng's actions.
Zhao Shuo looked at Wei Cheng's actions and couldn't help shaking his head slightly, but he couldn't say anything.
When everyone rushed in, Yu Jie immediately knelt down nervously and bowed, not daring to raise his head.
And Gu Zhun was calmly sitting in front of the inn drinking tea, and his afterglow was looking at these visitors.
This lame man is Wei Cheng, the prince of Great Xia? The man who looks very gentle is the legendary Dazai?
Then, Gu Zhun's eyes saw Gao Fang in the crowd, and his heart suddenly became vigilant: Why is this old eunuch also here?
Seeing the prince come in, Gu Zhun was still sitting, and such a sluggish attitude immediately made a close attendant beside the prince take a step forward.
The attendant did not hesitate to scold, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he could not make the slightest sound.
Just when the attendant's face was full of horror and he didn't know what was happening, he suddenly noticed that the old ancestor Gao Fang on the side was looking at him expressionlessly.
The attendant chuckled in his heart and hurriedly retreated.
At this time, Zhao Shuo had already taken a step forward, and said with a smile like a spring breeze on his face: "In Xia Zhao Shuo, I have seen the Hou Shizi of Zhenbei. ”
"Dazai-sama, I remember that you are Wen Zhenyan's cousin, right?" Gu Zhun said slowly, "Your smile is exactly the same as his! However, he seems to be better looking than you!"
Zhao Shuo didn't expect Gu Zhun to say this at all, and after being stunned for a moment, he laughed and said, "Shizi is really a wonderful person!"
Gu Zhun glanced at Zhao Shuo with a strange expression, this person is a little strange, others say that you are uglier, what are you laughing at?
Wei Cheng on the side frowned slightly at this time, in his opinion, Gu Zhun's current demeanor and behavior were completely contrary to the etiquette and law taught by his gentlemen.
Rude!
Wei Cheng, who has a rigid personality, can't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart.
But no matter what he thought in his heart, Wei Cheng, who received his father's order and was also the king's order, still read out the monarch's angry rebuke to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Marquis of Lushan, and then asked the many internal officials accompanying him to bring in the gifts set by the monarch.
No matter what the situation is, Gu Zhun will naturally not be unable to get along with money.
Zhu Yichuan died too easily, he didn't get any benefits, and it's not bad to take a little here now.
After Gu Zhun got up with a smile and thanked him, Zhang San and Li Si immediately took over the boxes one by one.
At this time, Zhao Shuo suddenly spoke: "His Royal Highness the Prince, and take a break here?" The lower official also has a secret order from His Majesty to have a few words with Gu Zhun in secret. ”
Hearing this, Wei Cheng just nodded, he had already guessed that Dazai was coming with him for something else.
Zhao Shuo nodded to Gao Fang first, then looked at Gu Zhun and said with a smile: "Shizi, please?"
Gu Zhun didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Shuo's gourd, but talking to Zhao Shuo alone, and not being alone with that gloomy old eunuch, Gu Zhun was not afraid in his heart.
The two walked together to the backyard of the inn.
"I don't know what you think of cutting the domain, Shizi?" Zhao Shuo suddenly asked.
Gu Zhun was stunned, but he didn't expect this person to ask such a direct question, thought about it, and said seriously: "I'll sit and watch." ”
"Huh?" Zhao Shuo was stunned, even he didn't expect to get such an answer.
For a while, Zhao Shuo, who was caught off guard, couldn't help but be cut off by Gu Zhun's somewhat sand-sculpture answer.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Shuo worked hard to sort out his thoughts and said, "Shizi, you should also know that I, Zhao Shuo, am the main promoter of the entire new policy of cutting the feudal domain. Now, I might need some help from you!"
Gu Zhun glanced at Zhao Shuo very strangely, is there really something wrong with this person? First he scolded him for being ugly and he couldn't laugh well, and now he asked me to help him cut the domain? Is this a request that a normal person can make?
"The people of the world are in difficulty, but most of the princes only know how to seek personal interests for themselves, and they don't care about the lives and deaths of the people in the world at all, so ......" Zhao Shuo suddenly pulled up the righteousness.
Gu Zhun waved his hand and said, "Dazai, you don't have to talk to me about any righteousness, what plan do you have, just say it, I'll think about it!"
Zhao Shuo was slightly stunned, thinking that after reading the article written by this kid before, he thought that this kid was also a person who had the world in mind, but now it seems that ...... Not like it?
After a pause, Zhao Shuo's eyes flickered and asked straight to the point: "Your Majesty, if you want to only be a marquis and not a fief to the prince, what does the prince think?"
Hearing this, Gu Zhun glanced at Zhao Shuo and asked, "Is there a Lu collar then?"
Zhao Shuo responded: "Of course there is, and even in order to reward you for being the first nobleman who only has a fief and no fief, the amount of money that Your Majesty gives you should be greater than the output of the ordinary marquis' fiefdom!"
"Of course that's no problem!" Gu Zhun casually agreed.
Fiefdom or something, Gu Zhun has no interest at all, in this situation of backward agricultural productivity, with a fief, he has to pay attention to natural and man-made disasters from time to time, and take care of the people of the fiefdom...... How troublesome?
He only wants to enjoy happiness in this life, and he doesn't want to work at all! There is no use in wanting a fief!
Seeing that Gu Zhun agreed so easily, Zhao Shuo was a little stunned, he didn't expect that in this world, there were still people who didn't care about the land so much.
At this moment, Zhao Shuo only felt that the number of times all his brains were stuck in the first half of his life was not as many as the number of times he had in a day today.
He is a dignified Dazai, a man who is determined to change the Great Xia Dynasty, but he was actually confused by a teenager?
Is it his problem? Zhao Shuo doesn't think so, he thinks that it's this Gu Zhun, it's too difficult to understand!
At this time, Zhao Shuo didn't know that there was a word called generation gap in this world, let alone another word, called dimensional wall.
Although the communication was extremely unsmooth, the purpose was inexplicably achieved.
However, Zhao Shuo didn't feel any joy of success at the moment, but was a little depressed: It's difficult!
