Chapter XXIV

"The Emperor of the Central Plains is really hateful!" In the palace of Nanzhao Wang, Zhao Ling'er lost her temper angrily, and the frightened palace maid didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Why bother to be so atmospheric." Zuo Xiaoyou fell down and smiled faintly: "It's just a blockade and trade with the Central Plains, and the Central Plains is not the only country in the world, wouldn't it be good to go to other countries to open up trade routes." ”

"It's not that easy." Zhao Ling'er looked at Zuo Xiaoyou, who was playing chess with Su Mei, and said, "Brother Xiaoyou only knows how to play everywhere now, but I have to deal with so many government affairs every day, which is not fair." ”

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled: "I wanted you to delegate power a long time ago, but you didn't listen." Although Miao Jiang is led by you, you still rely on the people below to do things. You leave those government affairs to the people below, and it is enough to control the direction yourself. ”

"But...... I'm not at ease! "Zhao Ling'er is like this, she always feels that she is not at ease if she doesn't look at it. If it sounds good, it is called responsibility, and if it is bad, it doesn't trust others.

"You should go to the people more often, and don't stay in the palace all the time." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Now the life of the Miao people is much better than before, but there are also some official-oriented ideas similar to those in the Central Plains, the problem of corruption is becoming more and more serious, and some different voices of the people have emerged." ”

"Really?" Zhao Ling'er was surprised: "Are the people really dissatisfied?" ”

"Don't suffer from few, but suffer from inequality." Zuo Xiaoyou said lightly: "Now the life of the people is indeed much better than before, but officials and businessmen are living better than them, coupled with the provocation of some well-intentioned people, it is not surprising that there is such a voice." ”

Zhao Ling'er frowned: "Who provoked?" ”

"Of course, the ones who want to keep climbing, but can't climb up because you're pressed on it." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "People's ambitions are endless, there are one thought two, there are ten thoughts and hundreds, and the change of dynasties is almost the result of the accumulation of social contradictions to a certain extent and the collective eruption." Miao Xinjiang has developed rapidly for 50 years, and some people want to live a better life when they are full of food and drink. In the same way, some people have tasted the sweetness of being in power, and they don't want to be pressed on their heads. ”

Turning his head to look at Zhao Ling'er, he chuckled: "But the Holy Spirit Queen is immortal, so how can those who want to continue to climb up be embarrassed?" Naturally, he wants to create contradictions among the people and achieve his ulterior motives. ”

"Humans are really evil." Su Mei dropped down, stretched her waist, and showed her soft body like a water snake and infinite charm: "It's still simple for our demon clan, it's enough to have a mountain." ”

At this time, Su Mei has become an adult in the second fairy sword, her figure is so good that she is off the charts, and she has the dual racial talents of a fox and a snake, which is simply a scourge that charms all beings. But because there are left and right guards to steal, and Su Mei is also a clean banshee, Su Mei has been staying in Miaojiang all these years, occasionally going back to Suzhou to visit her father and mother, and bring some good things such as pills to her father.

After all, monsters are respected for their strength, and Su Mei's parents are a little weak, which makes her face not look good. Over the years, with the assistance of pills and exercises, the snake demon man and fox demon girl who were at the bottom of the Immortal Sword World have grown into the top demons in this world. However, they listened to Zuo Xiaoyou's words and never did anything more to rob the girl.

But Su Mei found someone to renovate the mountain in the Hidden Dragon Cave, and then spent money to buy some girls from poor families and was responsible for serving them. And when those girls reach the age of twenty, they will be paid a generous severance pay to return home to marry and have children.

Because these girls will get some experience in dealing with the world taught by the fox demon girl, and learn a few self-defense skills from the snake demon man, so even if these girls are dismissed, they have the ability to support themselves, and they don't have to worry about living a bad life.

Under the spread of those maids, the snake demon man and the fox demon girl have become well-known kind monsters, and there are many poor families who want to sell their daughters, and they will prefer the two demons to sell their daughters, so that although the relationship between people and demons is still tense, it is not as tense and incompatible as before. This also surprised Zuo Xiaoyou.

"It's because the demon clan is easy to be satisfied, so it can't compare to the human beings who are not greedy enough." "If human beings are satisfied with the current life, they will not want to forge ahead and maintain the current state of life forever, so how can they continue to develop?" ”

A chess piece fell: "If human beings are satisfied if they live in caves, how can there be current houses and palaces?" These things weren't invented by the demon clan. ”

"But humanity has also paid the price for its own ambitions." Su Mei looked at the situation on the chessboard and knew that she had lost again, so she ruined the chess game a little coquettishly and pounced on Zuo Xiaoyou: "Don't the Central Plains people force the Miaojiang people to fight now!" ”

"Destruction and reconstruction will always be the subject of humanity." Zuo Xiaoyou stroked Su Mei's soft water snake waist and said: "Every time there is destruction, human beings will understand the cruelty of war, so that there will be a period of peace and reconstruction for decades to hundreds of years, but when the next generation of these people forgets the cruelty of war, it is the time when destruction will come again." ”

"Is this the time?" Zhao Ling'er was a little sad: "Is it really impossible for human beings to avoid this fate?" ”

"It's in nature." "Character determines fate, and human nature dooms them to a cruel fate. ”

Zhao Linger was silent.

"Since it's inevitable, it's good to have a fight." Su Mei said lazily: "As long as the losses are reduced to a controllable range, there is nothing wrong with fighting." ”

"War is not a fight, it kills people." Scratching the itchy flesh under Su Mei's ribs, Su Mei giggled, twisted her waist to break free of her big hand, and her eyes were like silk: "Wouldn't it be nice to send those damned people to the battlefield." ”

"Who knows who deserves to die!" Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head and said to Zhao Ling'er: "Ling'er, you've been too tired lately, why don't you let go of your power, let's go to all parts of the world together and relax?" ”

Zhao Linger was very excited, she really hadn't gone outside for many years. But after hesitating for a moment, he still shook his head: "Now that the Central Plains is blockading Miaojiang, I have to find a way to solve this dilemma, and I can't leave." ”

"Whatever you want." Anyway, Zhao Linger has the same life as heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and she can't get tired of anything, since she can't rest assured, let it go. What Zuo Xiaoyou has to do is to protect her safety, the development of Miaojiang has long been on the right track, and now the blockade of the Central Plains is just a small problem with a cold and fever, as long as the right medicine is prescribed, it is easy to cure it.

Sure enough, Zhao Ling'er found the right symptom and took a fierce medicine.

Aren't you blocking me financially! Then I will sanction your livelihood!

Because Miaojiang has been improving agriculture in the past few decades, and has provided crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn with very high yields per mu, the grain prices in Miaojiang have been very low in the past few decades, much cheaper than those in the Central Plains, so the Central Plains has been buying grain from Miaojiang with lower prices, while ignoring its own farming.

Now that the Central Plains is carrying out an economic blockade of Miaojiang and not allowing Miaojiang's products to go out, Zhao Linger has directly cut off grain exchanges with the Central Plains, preferring that the grain at home be spoiled rather than sold to the Central Plains at a low price.

Of course, the grain will definitely not spoil, and under the guidance of Zuo Xiaoyou, the surplus grain will be purchased by the government at a reasonable price, and then used to make wine.

As a result, there was a dilemma of no food in the Central Plains.

In just one month, food prices skyrocketed. After the price of grain skyrocketed, the people only knew how to spend money to store grain, and would not buy other commodities. Under the chain reaction, the business of the Central Plains deteriorated rapidly, and the emperor of the Central Plains urgently sowed seeds for the people under his rule to cultivate, but because of the passing season, there was no high-yield seeds, and he was afraid that in the next few years, the grain prices in the Central Plains would remain high, and the people's grievances would boil.

The Emperor of the Central Plains never expected Zhao Ling'er's counterattack to be so fierce, and while he was angry, he also regretted it very much. has the heart to repair the relationship with Miao Jiang, but he can't save face.

"Your Majesty, you can't make enemies with Miao Jiang anymore." When Prime Minister Liu Cheng played in a hurry: "Now that food prices are soaring, the world is in turmoil, and the people are complaining. If it continues like this, I am afraid of provoking a popular uprising, and my Central Plains will not be protected! ”

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Liu Cheng is clearly alarmist!" When the imperial master snorted coldly, he stepped forward and retorted: "Your Majesty is the son of heaven, and the power of my Central Plains Dynasty is granted by heaven, how can it be shaken by trivial matters?" According to the old minister's knowledge, Prime Minister Liu Cheng's father has an old relationship with Queen Miaojiang, is Prime Minister Liu Cheng not affected by this, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country? ”

"Nonsense!" Prime Minister Liu Cheng said angrily: "There is a god three feet above your head, Taishi, if you talk so nonsense, you are not afraid of the gods to blame, and the thunder will add to you!?" ”

"Hahahaha......" Taishi looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Zi Bu is silent, strange power and chaos, how can there be gods in the world!" If there is, what if the old man is thundered? ”

Boom -

A thunderbolt fell, slashing at the top of the Taishi's head impartially, and the Taishi still maintained a state of wild laughter, but his whole body was scorched, his heartbeat stopped, and he couldn't die anymore.

The emperor was scared, the officials of the Taishi faction were scared, and Prime Minister Liu Cheng was surprised and delighted.

The emperor ordered on the spot that Prime Minister Liu Cheng personally sent an envoy to repair relations with Miaojiang. As soon as the emperor returned to the Hou~ Palace, he fell seriously ill and recovered for more than a month. At this time, Prime Minister Liu Cheng had already negotiated with Zhao Ling'er on the letter of state for the resumption of trade between the two countries, and brought a large amount of gold and silver to purchase grain from Miaojiang. The price of grain is thirty percent higher than before, and even so, it is more than ten times lower than the price of grain in the Central Plains, which is enough for the Central Plains to survive the grain shortage safely.

"Let's stay for two days and then leave!" When Prime Minister Liu Cheng handled everything and was about to return to the Central Plains, Zhao Linger kept him again and again, claiming to be his nephew.

This Prime Minister Liu is indeed her junior, because Prime Minister Liu's father is Liu Jinyuan.

Although it has been fifty years apart, relying on Lin Yueru's relationship, Zhao Linger and the Liu family have always maintained a good relationship and contact, and this year something like this happened, the relationship between the Liu family and Zhao Linger finally worked, and did a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

"The state affairs are busy, and the little nephew thinks about it with all his heart, and he hopes that his aunt will forgive him." Prime Minister Liu Cheng bowed very respectfully and apologized.

The fifty-year-old man performed the junior salute to the 'twenty-eight girl', this scene is really weird.
