Yuan Ke is very good-looking.

He propped his hands on the railing, straight and stretched, and from time to time turned his head to say a word or two to the woman next to him.

The delicate woman stood on tiptoe, whispered in his ear, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a crisp dingdong laugh like spring water, Yuan Ke also laughed, curled her fingers and flicked her forehead, and laughed herself.

I have heard people say that Dayan has two beautiful and good looks, so it must be them.

Xiao Biluo stood behind the flower tree, and the heavy branches and railings blocked her tightly.

After watching it for a while, I thought it was quite boring.

Touching her lower abdomen, she let out a faint sigh, thinking of this unborn child, both loving and sad.

The future of this child is unknown, even dark.

Will Yuan Ke give the child in her womb a way out?

Even if you don't give it, so what? She will do everything in her power to protect her.

She lowered her head and was silent, her nails unconsciously picking at the cold branches, and Yuan Ke's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, "Biluo." ”

Xiao Biluo was awakened by these two words, and looked up to see that Yuan Ke was walking along the zigzag railing.

The two women followed him, curious and detached.

She wanted to run away, but the etiquette she had cultivated since childhood told her to walk slowly, to be calm, calm, and dignified.

I'm like an outsider, I can't blend in with them, and I don't want to disturb them talking and laughing, but why bother?

Curtsied slightly, Yuan Ke helped her and said, "Why didn't you say a word to me when you came out?" Spring is in full bloom, I will accompany you for a walk. ”

Concubine Xu stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen my sister." ”

Concubine Xu also bowed.

Xiao Biluo returned the salute, nodded slightly, and did not speak.

Yuan Ke said to Concubine Xu, "Biluo has been raised, this is the first time you have seen each other." ”

Concubine Xu looked up and down and said with a smile, "My cousin has such a beauty, no wonder I miss it." He pretended to be vinegar again, "Hmph." Cousin sees one and loves another. ”

Yuan Ke reached out and knocked her forehead again, "Nonsense." ”

Xiao Concubine Xu glanced at Xiao Biluo's bulging lower abdomen, her eyes were complicated, and she glanced at Concubine Xu, and a slight invisible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Concubine Xu smiled back and did not speak.

Concubine Xiao Xu looked at Xiao Biluo's lower abdomen again and smiled, "Sister is really a blessing." ”

Yuan Ke's face was as usual, and he said calmly, "I will send Biluo back." ”

As soon as he bypassed the railing, Xiao Biluo gently pushed his hand away, "Thank you." ”

Yuan Ke did not let go, and said, "Xie You will go to Jingzhou tomorrow to take up his post." ”

This sentence is flat and straightforward.

Xiao Yue died in Yun Mengze, the third son rebelled, the crown prince died, Xie Youyi rebelled, the second son raised an army to conquer, her country is now in war, she is in pain, but there is nothing she can do.

The second son, Xiao Zhaozhi, has been blocked all the way since he arrived in Jianzhou since the southern expedition in November last year, and has not been able to capture a city or a pond for two months.

Xiao Zhaozhi immediately made a decision, turned west to attack Xuzhou, and went all the way to Lingzhou, and on February 17, he built the capital in Lingzhou.

In order to distinguish it from the Hou Zhao established by the third son Xiao Zhengzhi in Jiangling, the new Zhao established by the second son Xiao Zhaozhi in Lingzhou is the West Zhao, the new Emperor of the West Zhao is the Chongguang Emperor, and the New Emperor of the Later Zhao is the first emperor, but the world often calls it the Yanping Emperor by its year.

Emperor Chongguang officially established the capital in Lingzhou, and issued a deafening promise, no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies, and in my lifetime, I will recover the Jokhang rivers and mountains!

Lingzhou is rich, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is really a good place to build a city.

Everyone said that Xiao Zhaozhi, who couldn't take down Jiangling, was crazy, and he actually salted the iron official camp.

In addition to the salt and iron official camp, Xizhao Yu wine Gu, Dongguan salt and iron, cast platinum, leather coins, counting boats and cars, renting and six livestock. Since the officials do not compete with the people, the government-run industry and commerce are not the main business of governing the country, and Xizhao does this, which simply makes the people of the world laugh.

After laughing, everyone was stunned.

Because...... The world is ten salty, and seven out of Lingzhou.

Salt is sea salt, rock salt, pool salt, soil salt and well salt, Xizhao is rich in these five kinds of salt, and there is even a salt state that specializes in salt production in the name of salt next to Lingzhou.

The status of salt is very important, and in layman's terms, which country has more salt proves that the country is rich and strong. Lingzhou Yanzhou, which has the best salt production, has become a cornucopia of Xiao Yue to overthrow the previous dynasty and establish the Southern Zhao.

The area of Dingzhou in the north was controlled by Xizhao, and if Houzhao wanted to get salt, he could only import it from Beiyan through the Rouran detour.

However...... Six or seven of the ten imports were intercepted by Xizhao.

The official camp of Emperor Chongguang's salt industry can be said to be unforesighted, blocking the salt road of Houzhao in one fell swoop.

In the following years, Hou Zhao was deeply troubled by the lack of salt, and the price of salt was once as high as 50 yuan a catty.

(One penny is counted as one dollar)

It was Guan Qiandi who proposed the salt and iron official camp and the liquor franchise. Guan Qiandi believed that industry and commerce should be controlled by the imperial court, which could not only increase fiscal revenue, but also curb the mergers and plunders of wealthy businessmen, which was conducive to "making civil affairs the capital not at the end" and conducive to "building the capital and suppressing the end". The government-run industry and commerce laid a solid financial and economic foundation for Xizhao, allowing Xizhao to quickly establish a country.

The food shortage quickly established another policy of Xizhao, which was to prohibit brewing without permission. Jingguang, the deputy minister of the household department and later the head of the household department, strictly implemented this decision for ten years, so there were very few taverns and liquor shops in Xizhao, and underground brewing was like secretly selling salt, which was a headless business.

In Xizhao, once the smuggling of salt is discovered, it must be reported to Emperor Chongguang, the organizers are shown to the public, and all the people involved in the case are confiscated.

Guan Qiandi first proposed government-run industry and commerce, and Emperor Chongguang hesitated. Seeing the sage's hesitation, Guan Qiandi cut the railway, "Your Majesty is afraid of competing with the people for profits and causing the people suffering, but the development of industry and commerce can make the people profitable." ”

These words strengthened the confidence of Emperor Chongguang, and government-run industry and commerce became a long-term policy of Xizhao. Guan Qiandi also relied on this proposal to leave his name in the history books, and became a famous economist and politician in Xizhao.

In the last discussion, the Confucian scholars in the palace were full of righteous indignation, resolutely refused the imperial court to get involved in the low-end official industry and commerce, and beat their chests and said that they thought about the past, ah, Emperor Wu, your father at that time, everyone spoke freely, how free speech was, and how nostalgic the atmosphere.

The more Confucius spoke, the more heartbroken he became, and the more he spoke, the more he burst into tears.

Xiao Zhaozhi said lightly, I can guarantee your freedom of speech, but I can't guarantee your freedom after freedom of speech.

After saying that, he smiled dangerously.

Confucian also said, Your Majesty is not afraid of being judged by future generations.

Xiao Zhao's way, the winner does not need to be judged.

This, this.

So the opposition died down.

Yuan Ke was very conceited, and Emperor Xiao Zhao of Chongguang made him feel pity and pity every time he mentioned it.

Xiao Biluo heard that he spoke highly of the wartime economy of the second son, and frowned, "Don't do it for a long time." ”

Yuan Ke listened to her rare mouth, and said with interest.

Xiao Biluo organized his language and said slowly, the government-run industry and commerce is a shot of elixir for the local tycoons, relying on weakening the trade they rely on for their livelihood to directly weaken their economic strength and accumulate the wealth of the imperial court in a short period of time. In particular, the salt and iron official camp prevented some people from betraying the country for personal interests and making material enemies, and also frustrated the idea of businessmen hoarding and making a fortune in the country.

However, this move also brought inconvenience and difficulties to agriculture, small and medium-sized industries and commerce, and to the common people, and in particular, it deprived the local princes and wealthy merchants of their vested interests, and inevitably aroused their strong dissatisfaction and opposition. However, the complete abolition of the government led to the re-emergence of the powerful and the annexation of land.

Yuan Ke nodded approvingly, "I didn't expect that you have a lot of experience in governing the country." ”

Xiao Biluo was silent.

These were actually all told to her by Xiao Yue in passing.

Emperor Zhaowu liked to use cool officials to crack down on the powerful, suppress the merchants, and punish the nobles, but the harsh punishment of the cool officials also caused Nanzhao to suffer unexpected disasters and social restlessness. Lu Xiuyi is even more of a sharp sword, and where he goes, the heroes and powers are falling apart, and he is terrified.

That's why they died tragically.

In other words, those who fought against the princes and wealthy merchants died tragically in this purge.

Can the second son withstand the counterattack of those forces?

The third prince compromised with the local forces, but the second prince continued to carry out Nanzhao's policy of attack, even more than that.

Yuan Ke said, "The foundation of a country's existence is only three points, population, wealth, and military power. Population is the foundation, the military is the guarantee, and wealth is the pillar. Xiao Zhao has three points, and Xizhao should not be underestimated. Striking the strong is like a strong man choking his wrist. It was my mistake before, but I didn't expect him to be so bold. ”

It is Xiao Zhao's first wisdom not to attack Jiangling and to attack Lingzhou, the second wisdom to firmly grasp key industries and commerce, and the third wisdom to stabilize the situation and fight a protracted war.

The three-legged situation is complete.

Yuan Ke looked at Xiao Biluo and said, "Today's Cold Food Festival, take you out for a walk." ”

He knew that she wanted to send Xie Youyi, but she wouldn't tell him.

Knowing that the Holy Lord was going to the Princess's Mansion, Dalantai hurried to dissuade him, "Your Majesty! It's not a good time to go out today! ”

Yuan Ke was about to board the car, and when he heard this, his brows furrowed, "Dalantai, when should you speak, when should you not speak, do you still need to mention it?" ”

Dalantai was about to cry, "Your Majesty, the minister has never been divined, but today it is divined, the hexagram is just south of the palace, do you say that the minister is panicking?" ”

Just south of the palace only lives Xiao Biluo.

Seeing that Yuan Ke was silent, Dalan Tai said, "The minister's Zefeng is too big to be a hexagram, and the lower Xun is stacked on top of each other." It is a big mistake to be Ze, to be happy, to be wood, to be Shun, and to flood the boat. Yin and Yang are opposite, Yang is big and Yin is small, and the action is very good! ”

Yuan Ke was also a little apprehensive when he said this, and after looking at the car, he asked, "How to break it?" ”

Dalantai said seriously, "Don't go out, don't go out, don't go out, say important things three times." ”

Yuan Ke wanted to kick this magic stick away.

Xiao Biluo listened clearly in the car, and slowly spoke, "Did you go out and give birth to a hexagram, or did you give birth to a hexagram in the south of the palace?" ”

Dalantai shuddered, "It's the palace that gave birth to the hexagram." ”

Xiao Biluo said, "So, whether I go out or not, the high priest can come out and make a hexagram, and I can't hide from it." ”

Yuan Ke said, "With my protection, what accidents can there be?" ”

As he spoke, he stepped into the carriage and urged the inner supervisor to leave the palace.

Dalantai said with a bitter face, "Please allow your majesty to accompany your ministers." ”
