The Cold Moon Empire, the imperial capital.

During the expedition of his younger brother Hua Yun, Hua Long, as the eldest brother, also launched a series of activities in the imperial capital, and his actions also caused a lot of repercussions and debates among commoners and lower-level nobles.

After all, as the Northern Governor, Hua Long actually canceled all kinds of miscellaneous taxes set up by the previous Northern Governors privately to reduce the burden on civilians and small craftsmen, including guard duty fees, security insurance premiums, merchant management fees, etc., a total of more than 30 harsh miscellaneous taxes, in addition, in order to help the civilians whose houses were burned down before, Hualong not only paid out of his own pocket but also personally went into battle shirtless to build new houses with civilians.

These actions of his were clearly enlisting the support of commoners and lower nobles!

But with such an obvious move, no one in the Cold Moon Empire doubted Hua Long's motives!

Why?

This is not only because Hua Long is the grandson-in-law of Prime Minister Rongte, but also because he is different from normal people, he is a gentleman and nobleman, so no one will find it strange to do something out of the cabinet.

On the other hand, in order to eliminate the "scum" in the guard, the staff member Tarex used various means, and almost every few days, thousands of soldiers of the guard were collectively undergoing a major blood change, but this small action was rarely noticed by outsiders.

After purging the scum, Hualong also introduced some encouraging policies, such as the promotion of guard soldiers is no longer the traditional relationship and gold coins, but the satisfaction of civilians, therefore, there are fewer thieves and robbers on the street, public security is better, and the relationship between the police and the people is harmonious, and the satisfaction of civilians is naturally high.

As soon as this internal policy was introduced, it was immediately embraced by the soldiers, because most of the soldiers in the guard were civilians, and in the past, they would not have the opportunity to be promoted even if they worked for a lifetime, so they could blackmail civilians more or less during their duties, but now it is different, since they have a head, they are naturally willing to change their minds.

Soon, the social atmosphere in the northern governor's territory improved greatly, some small craftsmen sprang up, merchants were willing to invest in new things, and their development also made the problem of labor surplus more and more eased, and even the shops sometimes worried about not being able to recruit men.

It's just that this series of significant changes has made those nobles put the halo on the head of Prime Minister Rongte, instead of Hua Long, only the commoners don't think so, they have begun to accept Hua Long, and think that Hua Long can help the common people speak, and may even stand on the side of the commoners and lower nobles.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Prime Minister Rongte was busy integrating Marshal Ron's men and horses, so although he had heard about Hualong, he did not pay attention to it.

......

Prime Minister's Mansion, Villa.

It's a spring morning, harmonious, quiet, and everything is full of life, but Xue Ya didn't plan to get along with Hualong well, no, she started to make things difficult for Hualong again as soon as the genius dawned.

And it all started before the marshal stepped down.

That night, Hua Long served Xueya with medicinal wine, Xueya was very moved, although he was still a little tough on his lips, but he still wanted to "reconcile" with Hualong in his heart, but what about Hualong? He ignored Xueya as before, except for going to the Beidu's Mansion to stay in the study or garden, and only came back when he went to bed at night, and Xueya "hinted" many times, but Hualong still slept in the study.

For this reason, Xue Ya lost her temper with Hua Long several times, but Hua Long still went his own way.

Xue Ya hated this kind of neglect and neglect, so she tried every possible way to find an opportunity to quarrel with Hua Long, and teased Hua Long, although sometimes she went too far, but Xue Ya still hoped that Hua Long could notice her, even if it was a few quarrels with her.

At this moment, Hua Long was still lying on the sofa in the room and taking a nap, with his pure white official uniform on his body.

Isn't he awake yet?

Xue Ya half-sat up on the bed and carefully peeked at Hua Long.

What are you going to do today? Hide your shoes, or put some rocks in your shoes, or hide his pants, or ......

Thinking about it, Xue Ya suddenly showed a silly smile again.

Let's hide his coat!

Xue Ya, who had made up her mind, tiptoed up the quilt, and then cautiously leaned towards Hualong, and in order not to make a sound, she didn't even wear shoes, and tried to hold her breath, she was very excited at this time, because doing this kind of thing gave her a sense of accomplishment and excitement.

And usually, when Xue Ya did these things, in fact, Hua Long had already woken up, but he didn't stop Xue Ya, as for the reason, maybe only Hua Long himself knows, but today, Hua Long is really tired and tired, so tired that he didn't even notice Xue Ya's actions at the moment.

Xue Ya's movements became slower and slower, so slow that she had to look at the situation with every step she moved, until she came to Hua Long and crouched down quietly.

He slept so deeply!

Xue Ya, who wanted to take Hualong clothes, walked to his side and stopped, looking at her husband quietly.

The morning sun shone through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows on his fair cheeks, and gave off a soft sheen, and he slept so quietly, so fragrantly, like an innocent child.

Xue Ya gently stroked the long hair that was messy on Hua Long's forehead, and then looked at his lips.

It is full of sensual lips, and it is especially glamorous when smiling.

Looking at her husband sleeping on the sofa, Xue Ya's original good mood was suddenly swept away, and she didn't do anything to annoy him, right? Then why did he always ignore herself? Why did he indifferent to himself? Could it be that he really liked Jingyi, so he ......

Jingyi, that dead girl!I'll definitely take him back from you!Wait and see!Xue Ya frowned, her little fists clenched tightly.

Thinking about it, Xue Ya's gaze fell on Hua Long's lips again, and unconsciously, her heartbeat accelerated, her vision became blurred, and even her consciousness gradually lost control, in short, her body slowly leaned towards Hua Long, because ...... She wants to be pro-Hualong.

Can I kiss him? He won't wake up, will he? What if I find out?

That feeling of love was full of almond greenness, which made Xue Ya's reason disappear without a trace in an instant......

I really want to kiss him!

Under such a warm and bright sun, a scene of love was staged, although it was only one-sided, but it was also full of the sweetness of happiness, as if even the god of love was also attracted.

But......

In the next moment, the four eyes met!

Hua Long woke up, and Xue Ya also stopped in a daze, and the atmosphere at the scene was very embarrassing.

What did she want to do? Hua Long was a little nervous, and more importantly, his face flushed, and he gradually sobered up, he may have understood Xue Ya's intentions.

Xue Ya's cheeks were also red and messy, "Old ......"

She originally wanted to call Hua Long her husband, but as soon as she said the word "old", she swallowed the rest of the words, "Look at what! I just accidentally fell!"

Xue Ya pretended to be angry, and then she pushed Hua Long and stood up and walked out of the bedroom.

Xue Ya was glad to have found this, because she sensed that Hua Long was still interesting to her, otherwise he wouldn't have blushed!

Maybe Xue Ya said it, just now, Hua Long may really care about Xue Ya.

......

Outside the hallway.

"Sasna!" Xue Ya smiled, as dazzling as a spring flower.

Isn't she stupid again? Sasna couldn't help but mutter, "What's wrong with you, Miss?"

"Listen to me......"

While listening to Xueya, Sasna showed an unbelievable expression.

"The young master is blushing?"

"Of course, I would have said he liked me! or he would have listened to me obediently. ”

Looking at Xue Ya, who was "laughing", Sasna asked in a hesitant tone: "Miss, ...... you?"

"What's wrong with me?" asked Xue Ya rhetorically.

"You ......"

"There's something wrong with you! Why are you so wordy when I'm in the right mood?

Sasna immediately lowered her head and said, "Aren't you cold?"

"Cold? why?" Xue Ya didn't react for a while, and when she noticed that Sasna's hand was pointing to her clothes, Xue Ya noticed that she was only wearing a thin pajama standing in the corridor, "It's so cold!"

Suddenly, Xue Ya ran back to the bedroom in a panic.

......

After breakfast, Hua Long followed Prime Minister Rong Te to the study.

As ever, this room full of fine wine is filled with an alluring red color, and even the intoxicating aroma wafts through the air.

"Hua Long, I heard that you have been very close to commoners and lower-level nobles recently, haven't you?"

The prime minister had known about this for a long time, but because of his busy schedule of official duties and the increasingly tight war situation in Easy City, he didn't have time to talk to Hua Long, in addition, before Hua Long and Xue Ya got married, he had already heard Count Auno say that Hua Long had a strong sympathy for civilians, so what Hua Long did this time was still reasonable.

Therefore, the prime minister did not have doubts, but only felt a little curious.

"Hmm. Hua Long nodded affirmatively.

However, winning over commoners and lower-level nobles is only the first step, he also has to prepare more strategies to speed up the friction between nobles and commoners, but before that, he has to be careful to disguise himself, as long as he can deceive the old fox Prime Minister Rongte, then he can naturally deceive other people.

You have to be patient!

"Why?" asked Chancellor Ronte kindly.

Hua Long looked calm, and even replied a little silly: "Because they are very pitiful! By the way, Tarex said that if they are given benefits and benefits, it will be very convenient to manage." ”

Listening to his son-in-law's words, Prime Minister Rong Te couldn't help laughing.

He had already talked to Tarex before, and had a detailed understanding of the other party's details, in addition, the prime minister also gave a certain degree of recognition to Tarex's theory of bringing civilians closer, of course, in that era of distinct hierarchies, being able to agree with such a theory also showed the extraordinary vision and courage of Prime Minister Rongte.

And the blatant thing about this theory is: throw more grass and the cow will produce more milk!
