After Yingyan withdrew, Ying Yu relaxed a little and said, "You have done a good job of confiscating the property of the Yang family and the former right minister." A few days ago, the city gate had come to report that the reinforcement was going well. It's just to support the armament of the entire Qiu Chi country, and this money is still a drop in the bucket. We have to think of a new way to open up the treasury. β
Qin Zhongzhi nodded slightly, "That's what Xian Ji said. The most straightforward way to open up the treasury is to raise taxes. At present, it is not a wise move to raise taxes for the country and the people. It is also necessary to prevent someone from using the tax increase as an excuse to tarnish the reputation of Xianji. β
"Hongu knows." Invite Yu has already been successful, "So the palace must find another way." She stood up and walked to the door, looking at Fuqiling Road in the distance, "Do you know why the folk customs of Qiu Chi Country are prevalent in funerals?" β
Qin Zhongzhi stepped up and followed the rain, stood behind her, and replied respectfully, "It is because Fuqiling is a feng shui treasure land of 'ambergris beads', which is famous all over the world. Legend has it that if the tomb of the ancestors was built here, it would bless the descendants. β
"Hmm." Invite Yu nodded, "Since it is such a treasure, it should be able to sell for a good price." Send a message to the major clans, telling them that they can buy a cemetery for an inch of land. The Langya Wang clan and the Chenjun Xie clan have both moved south, and they are afraid that they will be willing to spend a lot of money to build a tomb for their ancestors in the Central Plains again. With the two of them leading, those clans in the north will definitely be unwilling to be left behind. β
"This ......," Qin Zhongzhi frowned, "I'm afraid that the old ministers of the Qiu Chi Kingdom won't allow it." They were born and raised here. Respect for Fuqiling is not something that money can buy. This will surely anger them. β
Invite Yu blinked slyly and said with a smile, "In ancient times, Jiang Ziya and Jiang Shang were gods, and this palace was a heavenly maiden, why can't you follow the immortal?" β
Qin Zhongzhi's eyes widened, "Immortal Ji is saying that in the name of the Heavenly Maiden, he will be a god for the ancestors of the clan?" β
"That's right!" While admiring the dankou nails that Ying Yan had just dyed for her, she said, "All clans are all century-old wealthy families, which ancestor is not an extraordinary person, such an extraordinary person, if he is a god, he is a god general." Set up a clothed mound on the Fuqi Ridge, which is the place where the ancestors of the major clans meet. What clan would watch the imperial courts on both sides hurt the feng shui of their ancestral tombs? As long as the gate valve clan is on Qiuchi's side, Qiuchi's city walls will always be impregnable. β
"What a clever plan for Xianji!" Qin Zhongzhi was convinced at this time, "As long as you explain to the ministers that it is powerful, they will not allow it." β
"You go to Liang Weng, send a few smart people to each house, remember to put your posture high, and let them beg us, this matter can be done."
"Wechen remember. Please rest assured. β
"There is one more thing...... "Invite Yu was silent for a while before he spoke again, "Send someone you trust to check where my mother is now, and remember not to leak the news." β
"Yes. It's just that this matter also asks Xian Ji to allow Weichen some time. The people around the minister have all returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty with General Tuoba. The minister has already gone to the letter house and invited the young children of the Qingyue faction sent by the elders of the clan to come to Qiuchi, presumably they will be able to act soon. β
Invite Yu nodded slightly, "You did a good job, and this matter is not in a hurry." But it's time to develop some of our own cronies. β
Invite Yu turned his head to look at a dim corner of the hall, "It's better for you to go to Pengcheng to see your father once, presumably he can give us some powerful people." This is also the fastest way to do it. β
Zimo slowly emerged from the darkness, still wearing a light-colored robe, and it was impossible to see whether it was white or light water under the swaying candle shadow. His waist is straight, his steps are slow and steady, and his posture is like a fairy.
Qin Zhongzhi glanced at Zimo, then peeked at Yingyu, just opened his mouth, and closed it again.
"If you have something to say, say it!" A piece of bamboo was thrown at Qin Zhongzhi's head.
Qin Zhongzhi let out an "oops", rubbing his head, and said with a wry smile, "A few days ago, General Tan sent someone to see him, but Xian Ji just treated that person well, and never went to meet him. Xian Ji knew that she wanted to hire people, why did she refuse to go in the first place? β
Invite Yu snorted a little awkwardly, "I helped him design the week, but I was afraid that something would happen to my two brothers, and I didn't say that I forgave him." My mother was forced to leave the house, but he married someone else. If my mother doesn't enter the Tan family for a day, I won't call him father for a day. β
Qin Zhongzhi didn't dare to take these words, but Zimo stepped forward lightly and touched Ying Yu's head comfortingly, "Okay, I'll go in person." β
Qin Zhongzhi saw that although Zimo was comforting, his words were short and negligible. hurriedly added, "Presumably, when General Tan sees Brother Zimo, he can also know that Xian Ji is still thinking about him." β
Invite Yu muttered inappropriately, "Who cares about him!" I've been locked up for so long, why should I care about him! β
Wu Zi sulked for a while, and then invited Yu to say, "When there is no one in the future, you will still call me a girl as before." β
Qin Zhongzhi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, girl!" β
There is a light in his heart, don't look at it, it's just that the title has changed, which means that Invite Yu finally regards himself as a confidant.
It seems that the resistance he encountered when he confiscated the property of the Yang family and the right prime minister, and he was not ignorant of it. Now that he has passed the assessment given to him by Invite Yu, he will be used without suspicion in the future.
Invite Yu saw Qin Zhongzhi's joy and knew that he didn't need to say anything more.
So she changed the topic, "Qin Zhongzhi, let me ask you, have you heard of Cui Hao's name?" β
Qin Zhongzhi didn't know how the topic of inviting rain jumped to this, but he still replied seriously, "I've heard of it." A certain has also had a few encounters with Master Cui. β
"Oh?" Invite Yuliu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I heard that Cui Hao is a great talent." How do you compare to that? β
Qin Zhongzhi's face was full of embarrassment when he was asked this question, how did he answer this? Saying that she is strong is a bit of a princess selling melons and boasting about herself. Said Cui Haoqiang...... His pride prevented him from saying such things against his will.
He had no choice but to reply with the words of the old fritters, "Although Master XX and Master Cui are both civil ministers, they have their own equals, but it is difficult to say which is higher or lower." β
Invite Yu looked at Qin Zhongzhi with some playfulness, with an expression of I see how big you can blow the cowhide. But she didn't deny Qin Zhongzhi's statement.
"Recently, I feel that I have benefited a lot from your help."
Qin Zhongzhi was overjoyed, and just wanted to thank Invite Yu for his praise, he heard Invite Yu continue, "Presumably His Majesty the newly enthroned Emperor Wei will also feel like me...... Emperor Wei is dead, and another one can be erected. But there is only one Cui Hao. If you want to get rid of a strong enemy, you must first cut off its wings before it can disintegrate itself. β
Qin Zhongzhi shuddered when he heard this, "The girl wants to get rid of Cui Hao?!" β
ββGenuine welfareββ
In the past few days, the whole of Tanfu has been trembling. Not for anything else, just because Tan Daoji punished the two sisters-in-law he valued the most in the past.
Everyone in the Tan Mansion knew that the lady and the general had already broken off their relationship. Now the general has punished the two sons-in-law born to his wife for some trivial things. Not to mention the punishment that they moved to the very remote courtyard of the house, they even sent the people around them. Now there are only two waiting servants left by each Xiao Langjun's side. Everyone in the General's Mansion said that this was about to change the sky......
"Yu'er, look, this is the second brother's new little clay puppet today, for you to play with."
After Tan Cang moved to the courtyard above the underground palace, the first thing he did was to go to the underground palace to see the rain.
Xiao Yingyu, who was just in his early sixties, didn't look at the clay puppet, only stared at the eldest brother and asked, "He punished you?" β
"Yu'er, don't be rude, call Daddy." Tan-sik couldn't help but correct his sister. After saying that, he regretted it, it must have become a habit to discipline Tan Cang.
Tan Cang came over and forced the mud puppet into Invite Yu's hand, "I think it's good." If you want to come and see you, you don't have to worry about falling into anyone's eyes. β
