Seeing that Chu Qiguang insisted on leaving, Hao Xiangtong, who was listening to it, couldn't persuade him again, and suddenly became anxious...... Then he crackled and stopped in front of Chu Qiguang: "Young Master Chu! Brother Chu, can you finish this story and then succeed?"

Chu Qiguang watched the other party burst out of anger, his eyes condensed slightly, and he said: "This girl like Hao Xiangtong also has a martial arts cultivation in the first realm, and the Hao family is really a wealthy family in the county." ’

Looking at Hao Xiangtong's way of life, speech and demeanor, Chu Qiguang also realized once again that because women can also practice martial arts and Taoism, although the status of women in the Han Dynasty is still inferior to that of men, it is not as low as some feudal dynasties on the earth.

Chu Qiguang listened to Hao Xiangtong's pleading, looked at the other party's hand that was stopped in front of him, and said with a smile: "Girl, are you going to rob money or sex?"

Hao Xiangtong closed her hand, a trace of blush flashed on her pink cheeks, and she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, isn't it...... Why don't I give you the money?"

Hao Xiangtong thought for a while, and directly stretched out a finger: "I'll give 100 taels of silver, can you stay tonight?" ”

'A hundred taels for a story?'

Hao Xiangtong opened her mouth to be an old loser, and when she heard this, Chu Qiguang raised her eyebrows slightly, and immediately reprimanded loudly: "One hundred taels of silver, one hundred taels of silver, I will tell you for half an hour at most." ”

Chu Qiguang originally wanted to say this, but ......

I'm so upright. ’

He sighed, looked at Hao Xiangtong's smug gaze, and knew that if he agreed today, then the two sides would not be equal friends in the future.

'I'm not here to help or amuse the Hao family, so there's no need to lower my worth for a hundred taels. ’

So he resisted the urge to agree, and scolded the big dog in his heart, and then refused: "No amount of silver can change my mind." As he spoke, he arched his hand towards Hao Xiangtong and said lightly: "Miss Hao, not everyone will be smashed by silver." ”

Looking at Chu Qiguang, who left in a hurry, Hao Xiangtong thought with some surprise in his heart: "This ...... Don't you want to give money?"

In this Qingyang County, except for some young ladies from wealthy families, Chu Qiguang is really the first person she met who didn't want silver.

Hao Xiangtong shook his head, a little puzzled why Chu Qiguang didn't want silver: "The clothes on his body aren't worth five taels of silver, right?" ”

Hao Xiangtong sat down in the library, she casually found a miscellaneous book to read, but her mind was full of Wu Zetian's story and Chu Qiguang's voice, and she always couldn't calm down to read.

So she couldn't help but call the maid and asked her to ask Chu Qiguang when he would come over next time.

......

Another night passed, but Chu Qiguang did not go to the Hao family's library the next day, but came to the cabinet library in Qingyang County, looking at the rows and rows of grain tax account books with a satisfied expression.

The householder on the side, Li Shushou, said curiously: "Young Master Chu, why do you want to come and see these things?"

The money and food taxes are all densely packed with numbers and names, which are very important but extremely boring.

In addition, the martial arts and Taoism of the entire Han Dynasty flourished, and most of the magnates did not pay attention to arithmetic, so except for the calculators who specialized in calculating money and grain, almost no one would come to see these case materials, and they were shelved all the year round, no one cared about them, and they were ignored by most of the warriors in power.

But in Chu Qiguang's view, in this huge and complex data, there is a secret to the rise and fall of the entire dynasty.

'Without investigation, there is no right to speak, so let me see what happened to the Han Dynasty, Qingyang County. ’

Hearing Li Shushou's question, Chu Qiguang casually found an excuse and said: "I recently feel that my talent for practicing martial arts is insufficient, and if I want to practice arithmetic, I may be able to become a household arithmetic in the future, so as to help Master Wang, so I want to use these account books to practice my hands." ”

When Li Shushou heard this, he thought that the Wang family planned to train Chu Qiguang to become the new arithmetic of the sixth room of the county government, nodded and left him here to read.

Chu Qiguang first picked up a money and grain account book and looked at it, although the tax structure of the Han Dynasty was very complicated, and there were various physical and silver money converted to each other, but with his sensitivity to numbers and accounts, he still quickly understood it.

And the more you look at it...... The more shocking it became.

"Even if only thirty percent of the counties in the world are the same as Qingyang County, then it is a miracle that the Han Dynasty can still last for more than forty years. It can only be said that it is because of the existence of martial arts and Taoism. ”

......

The next day, Chu Qiguang followed Hao Yongtai home again, and he could obviously feel that the other party was a little out of state, and his eyebrows were full of sorrow.

It's a pity that Chu Qiguang asked, and the other party didn't tell him why.

And when Chu Qiguang came to the library, he saw Hao Xiangtong, who was already looking forward to wearing it.

As soon as she saw Chu Qiguang, she shouted, "Why didn't you come yesterday? Didn't you say that you would talk about a few chapters a day?!"

"Something happened yesterday, didn't you come today?" Chu Qi looked at her excited appearance and asked, "Then do you want to listen to it?"

Hao Xiangtong nodded hurriedly, and Chu Qiguang said, "Then sit down obediently." ”

Hao Xiangtong immediately sat down obediently, looking at Chu Qiguang with anticipation, listening to the next story.

Chu Qiguang said: "It is said that Wu Zetian hit Helan Mountain......

Listening to Wu Zetian violently beating the retired man and the junior, and then angrily beating the parents of the retired man, the more Hao Xiangtong's eyes listened, the more brilliant he became, and the depression in his chest that he had been waiting for for two days was swept away.

Continuing to listen to Chu Qiguang's narration, she seems to have become the Wu Zetian of the Tang Kingdom, ruling the world, invincible in comings and goings, and beating a group of saints, witches, demon girls, and princesses one by one with their hair on the ground.

Then he even became the first assistant of the cabinet of the Tang State and began to reform the shortcomings of the world......

It's a pity that an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Chu Qiguang stopped again: "Today's talk is over." ”

Hao Xiangtong's face was still unsatisfied, she licked her lips and begged: "Brother Chu, good brother, can you talk about it for a little longer?" she compared her thumb and begged: "Just talk about it for a short time." ”

Chu Qiguang looked embarrassed, and finally said: "It's not impossible, but you also have to promise me one thing." ”

Looking at Chu Qiguang's serious face, Hao Xiangtong was suddenly shocked in his heart: "He looks like this, could he have thoughts about me?"

Hao Xiangtong suddenly remembered the young people in Qingyang County who pursued her, and it seemed that they all had this serious and tangled expression in front of her.

'What if you ask me out to hang out?' How can you politely and resolutely refuse him...... I'm going to have to let him keep telling me stories. Damn, why doesn't he want silver, if only he could just smash it with silver. ’

Just when Hao Xiangtong was thinking nonsense.

Chu Qiguang said with a concerned face: "I see that Yongtai doesn't seem to be in a good mood these two days, I want to ask him if something happened to him?"

Hearing Chu Qiguang's words, Hao Xiangtong's cheeks again showed an embarrassing flush.

She immediately suppressed her cranky thoughts and replied, "You said that the eldest brother, it's not that you're bothering about the matter of returning to the field. In the past two days, the county ordered people to put up a notice board at the gate of the county government, allowing the people to file a complaint if they had occupied the land and grabbed the land. ”

"At this time, many tenants under our Hao family, Wu family, and Ding family have made trouble, and they all have to go to the yamen to complain, wanting to take the opportunity to get the land. ”

Hao Xiangtong shook his head: "I guess the eldest brother is worried about this matter." ”
