On the second day, Chen Jintong bought an old cow broken car, walked slowly, got out of the car when he walked to a place where he could play, the cow drank water downstream, Chen Jintong and Dongfang Xuanze walked on it, Chen Jintong pointed to the red all over the mountains, "What is that?" ”

"It's about a plant called Yingshan red, and it's all red in this season."

"Beautiful." got the popular science, Chen Jintong smiled.

"What about over there, the yellow one?"

"That's a row of privets." Dongfang Xuanze is well-read and knowledgeable, and the names of plants are also readily available, Chen Jintong nodded, and then she asked a lot almost difficult, what vines, what larches, what herbaceous flowers, etc., Dongfang Xuanze didn't know anything, Chen Jintong heard this, it was really eye-opening.

To the front, there are some dinosaur eggs-like round stones, and the two of them sit on the stones, "sit on the river on the day, look for flowers and walk around the temple, hear the birds from time to time, and there are cicadas everywhere." Chen Jintong was stunned, and looked at Dongfang Xuanze with a smile.

"Good words." Dongfang Xuanze cocked his thumb, to this day, Dongfang Xuanze is very curious, where did Chen Jintong's "good words and wonderful sentences" come from, if it is said to be recited, he is a person who knows the past and the present for no reason and has not heard it, if it is improvised anytime and anywhere, but the artistic level and aesthetic level are high, it seems that something is wrong.

"It's just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, I don't know how to write poems and songs, but I can grill fish, the prince, etc., I'll make it for you to eat." Before, the Seven Princes had taught the essentials of grilled fish, and Chen Jintong had already learned it.

Caught the fish for Dongfang Xuanze to eat, and after a while, the smell of fragrant and fragrant fu rose to the sky, Dongfang Xuanze was full of praise, and the two of them continued to go on the road after eating, and the two stayed in a farmhouse this night.

They found that the closer they got to the imperial capital, the richer the peasant families became, and some people actually said: "It's better to be the prince, or Lord Chen, Lord Chen has solved our heating problem, and this straw coal is not expensive!" If it had been before, we, the common people, would have frozen to death during the New Year. ”

This sentence is exaggerated, but it is not an exaggeration at all in that era, it is indeed "the road has frozen bones", Chen Jintong solved a big problem for the national economy and people's livelihood, and after Chen Jintong became an official, the imperial court also looked at women again, and the next step Chen Jintong's plan was to let the emperor issue a holy decree that women could also participate in the imperial examination.

As for Dongfang Xuanze, he emphasized every year that he should "lightly pay a small tax" to let the people truly "live and work in peace and contentment", and the emperor listened to Dongfang Xuanze's suggestion and reduced the taxes collected before by one-half, which really made the people very happy.

The most important thing is that when the tax is paid in the autumn of each year, the magistrate also needs to investigate, if a place suffers from a drought or flood, so that there is no harvest, then the magistrate can report to the superintendent of the imperial history, and then the superintendent of the imperial history will report to the Son of Heaven, and the people of that place not only do not need to pay it, but the imperial court will also help them.

"Where can we be fed and clothed before, now, even I have a lot of silk and satin clothes, and the prince also arranges for the replacement of soldiers, before people were most afraid of joining the army, but now, everyone is enthusiastically joining the army."

Yes, Dongfang Xuanze listened to Chen Jintong's suggestion and set the age of conscription at over fifteen years old, and in the tenth year of joining the army, if that person wants to go back, the court will give a lot of money, and if that person doesn't go back, he can also be a general according to his ability.

It was different before, as soon as the soldiers entered the ranks, they had to wait until they were fifty years old to come out, how many people and where could they wait until they were fifty years old? He died a long time ago, and he could only get a small pension.

In short, the two of them are perfectly matched, and they have been slowly changing their style and history, in the community, people do not support the emperor very much, and the emperor is powerful and blessed, and the voice of Chen Jintong and Dongfang Xuanze is very high.

As for the Seven Princes, the current Seven Princes have also done a lot of great things, and people have gradually seen his existence.

The two left from this house, and went to the second house the next day, the two of them asked about the needs of the people, and gradually formulated a new plan, this night, Chen Jintong said: "But now that the economy is going up, there are more corrupt officials than before, but we need to find some people to check on them." ”

"I'll arrange it when I go back!" Dongfang Xuanze also noticed this problem.

A light like a bean, the two of them were silent sitting in the dim candlelight, at this moment, everything was so good, Chen Jintong suddenly thought of something, "You say, could everything be arranged by the emperor?" ”

"The emperor has an arrangement, but it doesn't seem to be "everything", we were almost going to catch Zheng Bing before, but this Zheng Bing suddenly became smarter, and suddenly disappeared," Dongfang Xuanze looked at his wound vigilantly, and his heart beat wildly, "At that time, I should have thought seriously from the beginning, how could he be a businessman and connect with the people of the rivers and lakes, what is the internal connection here." ”

Chen Jintong nodded, "Perhaps, since the time when Zheng Bing suddenly became smarter, the emperor has been playing "catching and releasing Cao", but at this moment, Zheng Bing is "entering the palace for the second time". This is naturally Chen Jintong's reasoning, and there is no real evidence.

Back to the imperial capital, it is the fifth day of separation from the Seven Princes, these five days, Chen Jintong and they are very good, but as soon as they return to the palace, Chen Jintong saw the Snow Concubine, the Snow Concubine Six Gods have no owner, seeing that they are back, they hurriedly looked for it.

"How?" Chen Jintong sensitively realized that something was wrong, Concubine Xue had always been dignified, but at this moment, the expression on Concubine Xue's face was very strange, with a little expectation in panic, and a little pleading in helplessness, what a strange expression it was, "Is something wrong?" ”

Yes! Something happened!

Things have to start with Chen Jintong and the Seven Princes parting ways, after the three of them separated, the Seven Princes were already full of ambition and returned to Zhongjing with a prisoner car. went to Zhongjing in one breath and handed over the salt dealer to the Son of Heaven, and the emperor sent the people from the Criminal Department to interrogate immediately, and the human and material evidence were all there, and Zheng Bing also confessed.

It stands to reason that everything is over, and even Zheng Bing has said everything that should be said and can be said in one go before he was exposed to torture, but the next day he was going to be beheaded to show the public, and that night, Zheng Bing wanted to meet the Seven Princes, and this sudden meeting changed everything.

The Seventh Prince went to see Zheng Bing, but Zheng Bing said, "Do you think this is the end?" Your Highness," Zheng Bingbi respectfully kowtowed to the Seventh Prince, and pleaded: "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can spare my life now, I think I will show your Highness a clear way, the matter is not over yet, I still have a partner, he is more powerful than me." ”
