Chapter 34: The Masterpieces of the Ages (33)

"I've been fond of going to the Imperial Dining Room lately to develop dishes, do you understand what I mean?" Lin Du looked at Wang Yanxiang, she had to explain all this for the original owner, otherwise when the original owner came back in the future, she would find that she was suddenly not a lucky son of heaven, but had become a foodie emperor, which was estimated to be difficult to accept.

Wang Yanxiang thought for a moment: "The minister is stupid. He looked like he was waiting to hear Lin Dui's explanation.

Lin Du pretended to think deeply, and said to him: "Then does the king know why I want to carry out reforms, why do I want to abolish the lowly status?" ”

"It is rumored that His Majesty admires Miss Chen Yuanzhi." Wang Yanxiang, a fox, smiled slyly and would never say this question head-on.

Lin Du wanted him to make a positive statement: "You think so too? ”

"I don't dare." Wang Yanxiang and Lin Du played Tai Chi.

Lin Duan paused, "Prime Minister Wang, the matter is urgent, I won't go around in circles with you, can I trust you?" ”

"The minister thought that the minister came at night to give this excerpt to His Majesty, not to oppose His Majesty." Wang Yanxiang raised his head and looked directly at Tianyan.

He told Lin Du very solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister was brought up by you, and you were able to overcome the ministers in a high position to become the prime minister for a time." If a confidant dies, he is willing to smear his majesty's liver and brain, and he will die. ”

Lin Du nodded: "I believe in you, that's why I chose you." ”

"Your Majesty, the reform you are proposing today is something that the minister has conceived countless times. You also know that the ministers are from humble backgrounds, and they are not as famous as the ministers of the DPRK and China. The ministers have experienced the warmth and coldness of the people since they were children, and the hot and cold world they have seen is something they have not experienced, so the ministers think that they have a better position than them to talk about reform. Wang Yanxiang dissected himself.

Lin Du also understood why Wang Yanxiang's excerpts were written in such detail, and every detail was carefully polished, because this was originally the idea he had precipitated for many years.

Wang Yanxiang paused: "Your Majesty, the minister said something very disrespectful today. This courtier, in fact, most of them are after the noble family who don't eat minced meat. Even if the son of a poor man enters the court, it is absolutely impossible for him to become a close minister of the Son of Heaven. So you probably don't know what kind of life these people are like. ”

Lin Du did not get angry because of Wang Yanxiang's words, but admitted: "I really don't know, I want to hear about it." ”

"Everyone tells you that the people of this world live in peace and contentment. That's right, because you are indeed a good emperor, and you are a good person. But due to many objective reasons, too many Shen Ke and too many people are still struggling to make a living. Wang Yanxiang said as he secretly raised his eyes to glance at Lin Dui's reaction, and nodded in agreement when he saw her.

He continued: "It is too easy for farmers to starve and be hungry for a year because of the harvest, and although you will reduce taxes in the year when the harvest is bad, the farmers are still overstretched to guard those few acres of thin fields." The merchants are even more miserable, in bad years, the peasants cut taxes, they have to pay more taxes, and because they have no status, the local officials exploit them layer by layer, they dare to be angry and dare not speak, otherwise a seven-grade county order can ruin their families. Of course, many officials are not enriching themselves, but only exploiting businessmen in order to hand over better political results to you. The lowly status can be trampled on by everyone, and the fate of the low-level woman is really unbearable. ”

Lin Du sighed, of course she knew that the people were probably like this, even in the prosperous era of Kangqian, it was not easy for the commoners to eat a chicken leg, and it was only possible to eat it during the Chinese New Year. This is the malaise of the entire feudal society, the royal family and the princes and nobles who enjoy the glory and wealth are basically the nobles, the businessmen who develop the economy are the last in society, and the ordinary people can often only just reach the basic conditions for survival and life.

She had a sense of powerlessness in her heart, and even though she was now the emperor, she couldn't reverse the problems of the whole society.

It seemed to see Lin Duan's loss, Wang Yanxiang comforted her: "Your Majesty, you have let me, let thousands of people see hope, you are even willing to sacrifice your reputation for this matter, you are the real Ming Jun, with an emperor like you, it is the luck of the community and the people." ”

"Okay, stop." Lin Du didn't expect that this young prime minister, who looked serious and arrogant, would also talk about sycophants, although it sounded comfortable, but he had to let him say less, and boasted too much about what he would do if his luck came back.

"Your Majesty, the minister is from the bottom of his heart. I can see from the last time you dealt with the affairs of the vassal king, that you are sacrificing your reputation to help the community. You deliberately pretended not to listen to advice and acted willfully, all in order to let the vassal king relax his guard and prepare for the final fatal blow. Wang Yanxiang looked at Lin Du with admiration.

Lin Du touched his hair embarrassedly, and said with a dry smile: "Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say." "She's mainly trying to reduce her luck and make herself her own.

"You are also this time, in order to reform the dynasty for so long, you made a ridiculous appearance of ignoring the government. But in fact, you have broken many rules in the palace, what food is no more than three, and the gentleman is far away from cooking. A unique barbecue feast is also prepared to prepare you for the abolition of many of the previous rules. Wang Yanxiang thought he had seen it through.

When Lin Du heard this, he climbed up the pole: "Yes, that's it, it's still Wang Xiang's understanding of me." ”

She secretly compared a "yes" in her heart, all her behaviors can be reasonably explained, Wang Yanxiang is quite powerful, in fact, she really didn't think about it so much, it was purely delicious, but the explanation he gave was not much different from the explanation he came up with in the past two days. He is so knowledgeable, and he saves himself from beating him again.

Wang Yanxiang felt more and more that he was very good at understanding the emperor's intentions: "And, Your Majesty, I finally understand why you want me to be the initiator of the girl group." ”

"Say, why am I?" Lin Du really didn't think of a reasonable explanation, in fact, it was just a temporary idea.

"You have long planned to abolish the untouchables, but just looking for another opportunity, you must be trying to choose any girl group by the ministers, and finally achieve the abolition of the untouchables." Wang Yanxiang sighed: "Your Majesty's foresight is beyond the reach of the ministers, this is really a big game of chess." ”

Your brain hole is also beyond my reach, Lin Dui secretly sighed.

But on the face, she still looked indifferent and nodded.

"However, Your Majesty, the minister is stupid, why do you want to follow Miss Chen Yuanzhi to abolish the cheap status, the minister thinks that this is really not a very good opportunity. You make everyone think you're in love. Since this happened, Wang Yanxiang has been thinking about it for a long time.
