"Okay." Murong Jue said.

Her voice was cold and crisp, as if the Blood Sealing Sword had slashed down with a single sword.

She came here to see Xiao Yan's injury.

When it's okay, keep beating her.

The Blood Sealing Sword trembled lightly in the blood-red flowing scabbard, emitting a silent hum.

It was thirsting for blood.

Especially longing for the blood of the man in front of him.

At such a close distance, Murong could definitely smell the faint fragrance of sinking water on Xiao Yan's body, and the smell similar to the dew of green leaves in the early morning, clean and fresh...... This was the taste that Murong Jue liked before, but at this time, it stimulated her to churn again under the starry sky of Zifu, endless blood, turbulent, wave after wave crashing against the embankment of reason......

Murong Jue's cold eyes were bloody.

Suddenly, his right hand had pressed on the major artery on the side of Xiao Yan's neck, and the cold and slender fingers were like cold sword blades, and in the next breath, they would cut into the cyan veins, making blood spurt out.

Xiao Yan smiled, not nervous or frightened, even the pulsation of the blood vessels was as calm and slow as usual, as if he didn't care about life and death, just under those cold fingers, between Murong Jue's thoughts. Her smile is like the spring sunshine, warm but not invasive, her voice is like the wind of early spring, clean and fresh, and she said: "Senior, calm down." ”

Just like she said to her many times when she was in the Oghuz Khanate - senior, calm down.

At that time, Murong Jue was surging with love, and his desire was difficult to control; At this time, Murong Jue was full of murderous desires in his heart, and it was difficult to contain them.

The sea of blood roared like a tidal wave, violent and cold. She clearly knew that this was her friend, her partner, and the person she had once loved and loved, but she couldn't find any affection in her heart, as if everything before was frozen by ice, and then shattered by the sword, sinking into the sea of blood, and she could no longer find any remnants, only endless coldness in her heart...... and the desire to kill. She was so hungry for her blood, and there was a consciousness surging in the sea of blood—

Kill her, and the Ruthless Dao will be successful!

Only half a step away, she was only half a step away.

Just kill her......

The blood in Murong's eyes deepened.

Xiao Yan's smile is still warm and calm, a clean collared white robe under her neck, a moon-white round-necked robe outside, clean as if the sky is dyed, a clear smile, her face is pale and bloodless, but there is sunlight shining on her face through the tent skylight, flashing with white jade-like brilliance, beautiful and vivid, and the color can make everything in the world alive.

It was warm, bright, and full of life.

- Such a vitality wants to be destroyed!

Murong Jue's fingers tightened......

The blood in his eyes is slowly disappearing.

Her way of killing is to be sacrificed with the blood of the strong - she wants to kill her, but not when she is vulnerable.

This kind of vitality should be destroyed in its heyday—it is her killing way, the strongest destruction.

Murong Jue's cold fingers slashed from the cyan veins on Xiao Yan's neck, as if a sword blade had slashed, and his voice was as cold as a sword blade, murderous and awe-inspiring, "Seven days later." ”

Seven days later, Xiao Yan's injuries should be completely healed and back to peak condition.

Her sword would have thirsted for her blood at that time.

Xiao Yan said: "Okay." ”

As if he didn't know that he had walked around the line between life and death, the smile on his face was still genuine, which made people feel warm and dazzling.

But Murong Jue's heart no longer had half a wave.

It's like a distant snow-capped mountain, looking down on the common people, indifferent and cold.

***

The distant imperial capital of Chang'an, solemn, solemn, and full of vitality, the people of the imperial capital are also full of vitality, after the carnival of victory the passion has gradually subsided, but the aftermath of joy is still there, the imperial court issued an edict not only to allow farmers to cash in advance war bonds, but also in the city's workers, middle-class merchants and fangguo households, can cash war bonds in advance, people are of course happy.

The reason given by the imperial court is sufficient: since it is the first class of "Shinong and industrialist" among the people, and enjoys many state preferences such as exemption from land tax and exemption from forced labor, it should have a higher spirit of contribution, assume greater responsibility for the country, and support the imperial war to the end. ——After years of propaganda by the imperial court, this concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no scholar feels wrong. If there is a person who is not rich in wealth but uses most of his wealth to buy bonds and lives in poverty, he will only be laughed at when he says it: Didn't the imperial court say that the war to support the empire should be "measured in the amount of money", who is to blame for your own money in the eyes of death?

There is also a category of bonds purchased by the people that cannot be cashed in advance, that is, the middle rich, the upper rich, and the wealthy families.

Datang's "Tax Law and Property Tax" has a clear definition of the rich, the rich and the rich, the family with the surnames A and B is undoubtedly the family of the rich, the surname C is at least the rich, and the surname D is at least the rich; There are also noble families, civil official families, and wealthy businessmen, including the rich, the rich, and even the wealthy. The bonds purchased by these wealthy classes were low-interest bonds with interest rates of only two to three percent, and subscriptions began at 200,000 taels of silver, which could only be cashed out after the imperial edict was over the war. However, the wealthy class did not rely on war bonds to make a windfall, but all kinds of military orders given by the imperial court, as well as the interests of forming military merchant groups, which was the main reason and an important reason for the wealthy class to support foreign wars. Especially those big businessmen, they wish that the war would last as long as possible, and their income would continue to flow, and they didn't care about the bonds of hundreds of thousands or millions of taels of silver, anyway, the money would be cashed out sooner or later, and the reputation of the imperial court was tempered by real gold, and no one would doubt it.

There are also those who are unhappy, that is, those Tang people who do not have national qualifications and cannot buy bonds.

These people see that the consistent money of their neighbors in the same village or neighborhood has become a consistent 600 yuan, and if they don't do anything, they get 600 yuan for nothing, and if they buy 100 yuan, they will get 60,000 yuan for nothing!

As a result, some prefectures and counties have more hidden households to declare their land, merchants to declare commercial tax, and "unemployed" to declare property tax or income tax...... In these places, taxes have increased slightly.

This situation is not uncommon, every time after the Tang Dynasty's victory in foreign wars, there will always be a number of places where the tax households have increased, and the imperial court has not taken it seriously.

This year, however, a local official said that the imperial court should issue an edict to the whole country to check the acres of land, one to clear out the hidden fields annexed by the big landlords, and the other to clear out the hidden households that evade taxes, and to re-examine the scale books of the fish to be taxed, so as to increase state revenue.

These pieces were handed over to the Metropolitan Concert Hall through the local concert hall, and then to the household department.

The person in charge of taxation is the household tax department, and Lang Zhong looked at it while hehe, "It's a cliché." ”

The imperial court has ruled the world for so many years, don't you know that the local big families have annexed the land? Don't you know that there are hidden households who only pay rent and do not pay taxes? Isn't there a clear-eyed minister who proposes to take stock of the acres? Since the Gaozong Dynasty, some people have proposed to curb land annexation and inventory of acres, and I don't know how many bills have been put forward after accumulation, such as the average tax of Fangtian, the law of economic boundaries, etc., have accumulated a bunch of old pieces in the filing cabinet of the Tax Division...... Why has the imperial court not implemented it? Could it be that these plans and measures for checking acres of land are not perfect? Hehe, there's a way here.

Tobu Lang shook his head in the center, these young people are still tender. He put the piece on hold in the "inadmissible" cabinet.

But Tobe Langzhong didn't expect that his "non-acceptance of the case" as previously practiced would cause a storm later.

However, at this time, Shangshu Province did not know, let alone mention the discussion in the political hall.

The household department is under the jurisdiction of Shangshu Province, and of course the shelved chapter will not be able to reach Li Yuzhen's imperial case.

……

There is already a stack of recitals on the imperial case of the East Warm Pavilion, the left is unread, and the right is read. Li Yuzhen's Zhu pen review speed is very fast, because most of the pieces have been disposed of by the political affairs hall, and most of the opinions on the disposal are also thorough, otherwise the prime ministers should step down, and Li Yuzhen will either approve "may" or "read", and it will not take much time. The other part is the recital submitted by the emperor's direct subordinate departments, which is directly presented to the Dongnuan Pavilion without going through the political affairs hall, most of which are reported to the work and the implementation plan, and a few are reported to the problems and solutions that arise in the work.

During this time, her main focus on dealing with government affairs was occupied by Yan Zhou.

The capital of Yan and Zhou has been broken, two-thirds of the country has been occupied, and the war is currently suspended, and the important thing at present is the division of the occupied territory.

Although an agreement had been signed with Oghuz before the war, some details still had to be negotiated and finalized, such as the division of the capital city of Yan and Zhou.

At the beginning, the agreement was set down: whoever lays it will be who's whom.

However, the capital was built by the two armies together, and if this principle is followed, there will be inconveniences in the garrison and governance of the two countries.

How to build a military defense within the same city? The second is to govern the people in the same city, that is, one city with two systems, one city with two customs, and the civilization and economy of Oghuz are weaker than those of the Tang Dynasty. There may be how many fugitives will happen, and will Oghuz still have to deal with it?

This kind of division, Oghuz must not be happy.

Datang said: This can be discussed.

So the two countries sent a negotiation team to discuss the specific partition agreement in the capital of Yan and Zhou.

The Oghuz negotiating group proposed "exchanging resources for land", that is, the northern section of Gyeonggi Road, including the capital of Yanzhou and "Chang'an", belonged to Oghuz, and the capital went 150 miles to the south, bounded by the middle reaches of the Amu Darya River, and the south of the river belonged to the Tang Dynasty. In other words, the Tang army will withdraw from 200 miles.

Previously, Li Yuzhen and the political affairs hall had agreed on the bottom line of the negotiation, that is: the capital of Yan and Zhou can be relinquished, and part of the occupied land can also be retreated, but as much as possible to obtain the mineral resources of Yan Zhou, including all kinds of metal ores, spar mines, coal mines, etc. Most of these minerals are concentrated in the northern part of Yanzhou, and most of the southern Yanzhou occupied by the Tang Dynasty are poor mining areas, with the advantage that there are more arable land and grasslands than in the north, and the main salt-producing areas are also here - of course, Datang is not short of salt, and the domestic salt price is already very low, but it can be sold to Oghuz nearby, as long as it is a resource, there will be no uselessness, only it will not be used.

The negotiation team of the Tang Dynasty is headed by Shen Lun, the deputy minister of the Political Affairs Hall and the right secretary of the Central Committee, and Li Yuzhen is now reading the urgent matter that the Political Affairs Hall has just sent, Shen Lun's negotiation report, saying: Oghuz agreed that the largest coal mine and iron ore mined by Yanzhou would be owned by Datang 49 percent, and agreed to jointly explore and mine unknown metal ores with Datang, and Datang could participate in 30 percent of the shares; But it refused to allow Datang to mine any energy spar mines.

The government hall gave an approval opinion: Datang can agree to joint mining, but all ore must be shipped back to China for smelting. Oghuz proposed joint mining and smelting, the purpose of which was to sell the interests of some minerals to learn the mining and smelting technology of Datang. Datang is a mining technology powerhouse, and non-core mining technologies can be considered to be provided to Oghuz, but the core smelting technology must be kept secret and cannot be leaked.

As for the energy spar mine, it is named because it contains energy, and it is called spar because of its transparent or translucent appearance. Although the energy stones contained in it are far from being comparable to the spirit stones of the ancient and ancient periods, the spirit veins have been depleted at the end of antiquity, so how can there be spirit vein mines now? The northern part of the Yan Zhou Empire has mined beryl spar mines, solar garnet crystal mines, fluorescent crystal mines, etc., although they are not large mines, they still make Datang's heart move: no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, not to mention that these crystal mines are not small. But Oghuz is not stupid, how could he let Datang bite the energy mine?

The opinion of the political hall is: Datang exchanged the ore that Oghuz needed.

However, the general ore will definitely not impress Oghuz, and the rare ore Datang does not want to give, because the current amount of mining is small, and some ores are rich and valuable, but that is because of the application of Datang, other countries do not have such technology, these ores are not worth much in their eyes, and Datang will certainly not leak the secret, which is equivalent to reminding other countries to study these ores.

The specific transaction to be used was proposed by the Imperial Academy of Scientific Research and the Royal Academy of Arts.

The Imperial Research Institute is directly under the emperor, and the Royal Academy of Art belongs to the royal family, and the political affairs hall can only make suggestions but cannot summon them.

Li Yuzhen pondered for a while, and then asked the chamberlain to summon Academician Zhong of the Imperial Scientific Research Academy and Academician Wu of the Royal Academy of Arts.

She put the piece aside for the time being, picked up the piece on her left hand and continued to read it.

I saw a progressive chapter of the Jing'an Division, which was the situation of Yan Zhou reported by the commander of Jing'an who supervised the expedition to the north, including the situation in the army and the situation in the occupied area. The Jing'an Division has the responsibility of secretly supervising the affairs of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the Commanders of the Northern Expeditionary Army will also screen and report the matters that the Commanders of the Northern Expeditionary Army think are unimportant and have not been reported.

There is one in this book, which is about the "trivial matter" that the commander of the expedition to the north thinks does not need to be reported-

Xiao Yan, the general of the Western Route Army of the Northern Army, and the princess of the Star Hall of the Oghuz Khanate, Lou Chen (Murong Jue), fought each other, and General Xiao was defeated and seriously injured.

Li Yuzhen's eyes stopped at this line of words, deep and cold. Lanling Merry
