Chapter 252: A dilemma
In the afternoon, after Xia Zhixue had lunch, she was very tired. Lotus has been laughing at Xia Zhixue like a sleepy little lazy cat.
"Lotus, you don't understand. Sleepiness in spring, lack of summer and hibernation in autumn. β
Lotus pouted, just trying to find a reason for herself to snooze. However, the weather was so cold, and Lotus felt that if she didn't let Xia Zhixue continue to sleep, there would be nothing to do. let Xia Zhixue go.
As soon as Xia Zhixue put on the quilt, Lotus hurried to say that Ouyang Huaisen was here. Xia Zhixue's sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden, and she hurriedly put on her clothes and came out to greet Ouyang Huaisen.
The cold of the wind outside still surprised Xia Zhixue, and as soon as she got out of the room, Xia Zhixue, who was blown by a cold wind outside, sneezed twice in a row. Sure enough, I didn't stand outside the door for long, and I saw a tall man walking towards Xia Zhixue. Sometimes Xia Zhixue is thinking, are the royal people so good-looking?
Ouyang Huaisen is, Prince Yong is, Ouyang Huaiyu needless to say, he is usually so improper, but he still can't hide that attractive charm. Although the emperor has never met, there are still countless women who guard the emperor like jade.
"Why did it come all of a sudden? Fast into the house. Ouyang Huaisen was wearing a snow-white cloak, and his furry coat still retained a little cold.
Ouyang Huaisen approached Xia Zhixue's house in three steps and two steps, this cold wind was really cold. Xia Zhixue also followed Ouyang Huaisen's footsteps to the house.
The oven in the house was blazing, and it didn't take long for Ouyang Huaisen to regain a little consciousness. Xia Zhixue instructed Lotus to cook a bowl of ginger tea for Ouyang Huaisen to go to the cold. Ouyang Huaisen drank two bowls of ginger tea in a row, and the entrance was spicy, and Ouyang Huaisen's tears were about to be spicy, but fortunately, after drinking it, his body regained heat.
"What's wrong?" Xia Zhixue knew that Ouyang Huaisen was going to have something to do this time.
"It's okay and can't come and see you?" Ouyang Huaisen wiped the residual juice from the corner of his mouth.
Xia Zhixue pursed her lips, when did Ouyang Huaisen learn Ouyang Huaiyu's set? "If it's okay, you won't come to my humble house."
Ouyang Huaisen stood up and walked around, Xia Zhixue's house was facing the rising sun, when the Su family was still there, he also coaxed Xia Zhixue to say that the terrain of the house was good, and the feng shui masters had already seen it, but looking at the humidity of the house, Xia Zhixue really didn't know where the terrain here was?
"Although you are cool in summer here, it is really cold in winter, so I will talk to Master Hou and ask him to change the yard for you." Ouyang Huaisen could see the coldness of Xia Zhixue's room at a glance, "After all, she is also the future Seventh Princess, so she can't be too shabby, right?" β
Xia Zhixue hurriedly stopped Ouyang Huaisen's thoughts, "There is an oven here in winter, it's quite warm, mainly because I've lived here for a long time and I'm not used to moving around." If that's what you say, shouldn't I have to move back in the summer? β
Ouyang Huaisen got up and opened the window, the coal burned in the oven was too inferior, and the smoke had filled most of the room. "It's okay, you'll move to the Seven Kings' Mansion then."
Xia Zhixue suddenly realized this problem, before she fell in love with Ouyang Huaiyu, she just wanted to use Ouyang Huaisen's hand to help her consolidate her power. However, the plan can never catch up with the changes, and even she herself didn't expect that after such a long time, she would become friends with her fiancΓ© who she wanted to use, and she also fell in love with Ouyang Huaiyu. A small bookstore
If it was before, where did I need to take care of so much? As long as she can succeed in revenge, marriage is just a bargaining chip in her hand, but now, she actually has the idea of staying with Ouyang Huaiyu for the rest of her life.
The enemy was still in front of him, Xia Zhixue patted his head while Ouyang Huaisen was not paying attention, what kind of mess did he think about every day?
The cold wind slowly drifted in along the window, at this time Ouyang Huaisen suddenly remembered the purpose of coming this time, he was helpless in the face of the problems caused by the cold snap, all he could think of was Xia Zhixue, a quirky girl, Xia Zhixue usually had a lot of ideas, Ouyang Huaisen hoped that Xia Zhixue would also be able to share some of this matter for the emperor this time.
"Zhixue, I really want to ask you something." Ouyang Huaisen's gentle eyes looked at Xia Zhixue.
"I guess it has something to do with the cold snap outside the window." Xia Zhixue's eyes looked out the window, she also wanted to solve the problem of the cold snap earlier, even though she had many solutions in her head, but she couldn't take action after all.
Ouyang Huaisen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you." β
Xia Zhixue propped her chin and meditated on the table, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just that this matter is really difficult to do." Success always comes with risk. β
"So you mean you have a way?" Ouyang Huaisen's eyes were all shining.
"The treasury is not well supplied, right?" Xia Zhixue didn't say anything directly, but suddenly asked. Although he didn't understand what Xia Zhixue meant, Ouyang Huaisen still nodded truthfully, "Indeed." β
"Since the treasury is not good, then supply it from outside."
Ouyang Huaisen had question marks written all over his face, and he didn't know how to do it.
Xia Zhixue replied again, "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." If there are so many surplus resources, why not share them with the people? β
Ouyang Huaisen's expression was shocked, "What do you mean...... ...... want to rob" Ouyang Huaisen seemed to hear something incredible. The four words of being an official and being honest have always run through his mind, but now Xia Zhixue actually asked him to grab the warm items of the rich and give them to the people. Ouyang Huaisen is in a dilemma?
"On the one hand, there are the complaints of the rich, and on the other hand, the lives of the people. You pick one for yourself. Xia Zhixue looked at Ouyang Huaisen coldly. It's not that she's cold-blooded, but if the treasury can't meet the needs of the people now, then she can only get some assets from Fujia to distribute to the common people. This is the only way. She once happened to see frostbite on the faces of people on the street, and if she wasn't really desperate, how could she come up with such an extreme method?
Ouyang Huaisen still had a hard time making up his mind, Fu Jia's money was also passed down from generation to generation, even as an official, he couldn't deprive others of their property at will. His mother had never taught him to do this, and the emperor's laws did not allow him to do so.
But if we don't, more and more frozen bones will be displayed on the streets throughout the winter, and those are not fresh lives.
"Don't lose a big deal because of a small thing. The wealth of the rich armor is gone, and they can earn it again, but the lives of the people are gone, and there is really no way to recover it. Xia Zhixue's eyes looked at Ouyang Huaisen firmly. Waiting for him to make a decision.
