"What you just said is true?" Xiao Lingran stared at Yun Yan's eyes and asked.

"So what do you want me to say? Agree to the Queen Mother's marriage? Yun Yan said helplessly.

"That's not it, I just think you're a little bit of a money fan!"

"I'm not a little bit of money, can I save money? If I don't have money, how will I support my father and mother in the future? Yun Yan asked rhetorically, "You are not a fan of money, why do you still collect food taxes from the common people?" Have you ever planted a seed? ”

Xiao Lingran shook his head.

Yun Yan snorted coldly: "Isn't that enough, since you didn't pay for the labor, but you have to collect their sweat money for nothing, just because you are the emperor?" Have you ever seen a beggar who has been hungry for days? Have you ever experienced the feeling of being snatched away from someone who has been begging for food so hard? ”

This time, Yun Yan didn't wait for him to shake his head, so he rushed in front of him and said, "Of course you don't, but I do!" I was an orphan in that world, and I used to beg in the streets, and it was like trying my best to climb the steps of heaven and then suddenly being kicked into hell! ”

As she spoke, her eyes moistened, and she turned her head away.

Xiao Lingran didn't expect Yun Yan to have such an experience, wasn't what he said just now just picking up her scars? He regretted it and felt distressed, he wanted to hug her, but he was afraid of making her unhappy, so he reluctantly withdrew his hand in mid-air, and handed it to her: "It's not good for me, it's sad for you!" ”

Yun Yan took it, wiped her tears, let out a sigh, and then Xiao Lingran apologized: "I'm sorry for the emperor, I lost my temper just now!" ”

"Yan'er, outspoken, courageous and commendable, but I'm not a good emperor!"

Yun Yan saw that he was blaming himself, so he comforted him and said: "It's already very good that you can distribute free grain seeds to those poor areas, don't blame yourself anymore, I believe you will do better in the future!" ”

"Really? If you have any suggestions, you might as well tell me today! Xiao Lingran is looking forward to it.

Yun Yan thought for a while and said: "According to the current point of view, it is impossible to be completely tax-free, but the emperor can take the method of rich businessmen paying money and civilians paying grain, so that they can pay part of the income and harvest according to the annual income, and the rest will be their income, otherwise everyone has to pay money, otherwise it will be too much loss for the common people to exchange grain for money, and I think the royal family can also cultivate a field, be self-reliant, and save the province to reach out to the people, so that the people in the palace can enjoy the pastoral life. I can also experience the hardships of being a farmer, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds! ”

"You mean to let the people in the palace go to farm?"

"What? Can't you? ”

"No, I think it's a good idea, let's go, go somewhere with me!" Xiao Lingran instructed Laifu again, "Go and prepare the car!" ”

"Where to go?" Yun Yan asked curiously.

"You'll know when you go!"

Yun Yan and Xiao Lingran got into the carriage and drove towards the north gate of the palace.

Not long after their carriage left, Concubine Yun suddenly came out from behind the pillars of the main hall, glared angrily at the carriage not far away, and left after a long time.

In the evening, Xiao Lingran and the others returned to the imperial study.

As soon as he entered the door, Yun Yan looked at his dirty hands, and helplessly begged Xiao Lingran: "Your Majesty, for the sake of me helping you pull out the grass for half a day, can you deign to help me pour a glass of water to drink, I'm dying of thirst?" ”

Xiao Lingran immediately poured water and put it to her mouth, Yun Yan was thirsty, and drank it all in one breath, one cup did not quench her thirst, Xiao Lingran poured her two more cups, just like just now, she drank it all.

"Do you want more?" Xiao Lingran asked.

"No, thank you!" Yun wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

Xiao Lingran put down the cup and instructed Laifu: "You go and fetch a basin of water!" ”

After Laifu went out, he quickly came in with a basin of water and said to Yun Yan: "Miss Yun Yan, come and wash your hands, it's time to eat in a while!" ”

Yun Yan went over to wash his hands, and Xiao Lingran said to Laifu again: "You go and get a set of Yan'er's clothes!" ”

Yun Yan washed his hands and discussed with him: "Your Majesty, can I go back early today?" ”
