Chapter 149: Returning to the People

"Those sixteen words are wonderful."

The crown prince suddenly said this coldly.

Chen Liu never thought that he could avoid talking about it, and after finally making a choice, he asked rhetorically:

"I wonder what His Highness thinks the Confucian Yasheng said?"

"The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light? You know that it is not appropriate to say this to me."

Smart people always don't need to be too transparent when chatting, and Li Wan knows very tacitly what Chen Liu is talking about.

Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, Confucianism was created, and seventy-two sages followed, but it is still this sub-sage who can really make Confucianism a great sect.

His words and deeds further carried forward the knowledge of Confucianism into the mortal world.

Confucianism not only teaches the people to be good in order to be humble and gentlemen, but also guides the emperor to implement benevolent government in order to rule the world.

If the king is unkind and unjust, then his people can also overthrow the king and set up a new king!

As soon as this kind of remark came out, it was really like a boulder entering the water, setting off a monstrous wave.

In all dynasties, when the country was founded, in order to overthrow the previous dynasty, it was natural to feel that this kind of remark was extremely correct. But when they entered the imperial capital and were known as the Ninth Five-Year Plan, this kind of remark was rebellious and unforgivable.

At that time, the first emperor of the ages who unified the world was born, so he asked the academy for a sentence.

The academy then closed the mountain for decades, until the emperor suddenly collapsed, and then came out of the mountain again.

Most of the kings of later generations did not agree with this sentence of Yasheng.

At this time, Chen Liu asked Li Wan with this sentence, which can really be said to be bold and angered Tianwei.

"Eat Erlu, the people fat and the people's ointment; The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive. Water can carry boats. It can also capsize; If you don't have a small surname, it's hard to have a family and a country."

Chen Liu stood up and solemnly bowed to the crown prince.

He doesn't have much on his mind, and he can't do it if he wants to change the whole world; But if he can make the heart of the future ruler of the empire in front of him a little biased, maybe he can make thousands of people happy.

Zhangzhou, due to the collusion between officials and businessmen, the daily consumption is much higher than that of Chang'an, Kyoto.

When he escorted His Royal Highness Mo Li to visit Fang City before, he noticed the abnormality of prices in Zhangzhou. z.br>

Just a bunch of sugar gourds is more expensive than Chang'an.

Zhangzhou, which is backed by the abundant Jianghuai, and the prices of the rest of the necessary daily necessities are obviously more expensive, and this situation is inevitably the result of monopoly.

The evidence later recovered from Yu Fang's mansion also proved this.

Although Chen Liu doesn't know how the people of Zhangzhou are doing, in any case, the benefits of this kind of business travel monopoly are taken from the people, and it is normal for one or two of them to be taken from the people.

The implementation of the new commercial tax policy here is not only beneficial to Daliang, but also to the people of Zhangzhou.

However, he needs to convince Li Wan first.

Characters like Li Wan will not fail to see the results of this new strategy, and concealing it is a brainless move.

But if he doesn't nod his head, even if the new commercial tax policy and supporting means are implemented to defeat the big businessmen, all the excess profits can be collected into the national treasury.

"For the people" is easy to say, but for those in power, it is often only talked about when necessary.

"Quite bold. Have a drink?"

The prince didn't answer, just smiled and pushed over a glass of wine.

Chen Liu directly picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Good amount of alcohol...... Since you have this kind of mind, I am willing to give you a half-official position, and you can do something."

Chen Liu got a loose official with no rank, and the supervision envoy was temporarily set up by the crown prince.

However, this kind of official position is the most magical.

Although it seems to be a little out of the stream, if you can get the favor of the Son of Heaven, you will be no different from the central minister, and you can be said to be a minister.

Li Wan did not give Chen Liu direct power, but gave him the qualification to enter the Qingxiao Palace at any time. This can be said to be the position of the heavenly official!

"Your Highness."

The setting of this supervision envoy means that Li Wan agreed not to take away the soup and water, and to return it to the people appropriately.

Chen Liu also entered the officialdom from then on, and became one of the prince's staff when he went south.

Later, they exchanged views on the construction pilot of the new system for a while, and Li Wan apologized to Chen Liu by the way, saying that his imperial sister had trespassed into his room.

When Chen Liu heard the news, his face was a little embarrassed.

There was also a binding circle spell in that room that was originally used to tease Mo Mei...... I didn't use it in the end, but it was still in the room......

Chen Liu looked at the prince's eyes and knew that something was wrong.

"Your Highness, if there is nothing to do, the minister will retire first."

"Well, there you go."

Chen Liu said goodbye to the prince and hurriedly retreated from the pavilion.

After Chen Liu left, the Second Sword Division returned.

They listened to the exchange between the prince and Chen Liu.

"This son can be said to be a talent of the unicorn."

The knife master couldn't help but sigh.

He is just a swordsman at any time, but he naturally understands a lot when he lives a long time. The knife master also saw the beauty of Chen Liu's new strategy, and was able to perceive his sincerity in fighting for the benefit of the people.

Naturally, the sword master didn't care about the life and death of ordinary people, how their lives were. However, Chen Liu dared to openly discuss this kind of thing in front of the crown prince, which can be said to be brave and fearless, which is enough to admire.

Li Wan also nodded.

Talented and virtuous, but also not arrogant, is indeed a rare talent.

Of course, there is one more point......

"I can't even compare to his multiple identities. Prison, pole beating, Buddhism, Guangyin sect, Daomen...... It's funny, it's really interesting."

Then Li Wan looked at the sword master again and asked his opinion.

The swordsmith with the sword in his arms hesitated for a moment, then replied:

"The mood is good, the talent is also good, and the martial arts can be entered into the top three grades."

The sword master found out Chen Liu's cultivation capital in the martial arts.

For the rest, he also saw a little, but out of rigor, he didn't say much.

Chen Liu's methods are obviously not limited to martial arts.

"The swordsman really doesn't like this."

Li Wan shook her head and smiled.

Compared to a more transparent swordsmith, a swordsmith is more like a pure sword.

In addition to cultivation, it is only about killing.

"You're done talking?"

Princess Mo Li, who was sitting halfway up the mountain, didn't expect to see Chen Liu again so soon.

She had thought that the conversation between the imperial brother and him would last for a long time.

Chen Liu didn't expect Mo Li to be waiting here, so he immediately stopped to salute her.

At the same time, he saw Momei, who he hadn't seen for a few days.

"Momei-sama, you ......."

Mo Mei sat on one side of the pavilion, as if she hadn't heard, and drank to herself.

At this time, Her Royal Highness noticed the strange atmosphere between the two, but she couldn't say what it was.

I don't know if I think Chen Liu has been standing for a long time, or if the wine in the Momei wine pot has been drunk.

She finally planned to deal with Chen Liu, and asked lightly:

"What does the prince think of your answer?"

Chen Liu replied truthfully and replied:

"There should be seven or eight points."

"Then you're over."

Chen Liu's answer to the question of "commercial tax" was graded by the prince.

The prince agreed, and it was passed.

Mo Mei then threw out a volume of secret letters to Chen Liu, saying:

"This is the second question, go back and read it yourself."

After explaining the problem, Mo Mei didn't plan to stay longer, and after saying hello to Mo Li, she wanted to leave directly.

Chen Liu stopped Mo Mei, handed the medicine bottle that Shen Yan had given him before, and explained:

"The party in distress can take one pill, which can temporarily suppress the injury. If you really want to use it, don't fight recklessly, retreat first

Avoid it."

"Hmm."

Mo Mei nodded, no refusal, no other reaction, and disappeared halfway up the mountain.

Mo Li waited for a while before quietly asking:

"You guys quarreled? What is this talking about?"

Chen Liu only told Her Royal Highness the princess that he was being assessed, and as for the grievances between the deputy marshal and the marshal, it was not enough for outsiders.

"I've always felt like there's something wrong with your relationship."

"Your Highness, we really don't have the kind of relationship you thought."

Seeing that there was no way to find out, Her Royal Highness changed her mouth and said:

"Brother Huang is going to the school field tonight to order troops, do you want to go and see it?"

"Your Highness, it's not appropriate for me to go."

The crown prince inspected the army, and he had no reason to go.

Chen Liu planned to go back to the room first to see what the second test given by Feng Shuai was, and then decide on other things.

"Then you go shopping with me."

Seeing that there was something wrong with Her Royal Highness Princess's eyes, Chen Liu finally agreed.

But he had to go back to his room first.

"I'm going too...... Forget it, you go back yourself. I'll come to Shufang Pavilion later."

Originally, Mo Li planned to follow, but remembering her embarrassment in Chen Liu's room before, she regretted it again.

In fact, it stands to reason that even if Chen Liu was unintentional, or even at fault with Mo Li, the final result could make Chen Liu wear a hat that offended the majesty of the heavenly family, and he couldn't eat and walk around.

But she wasn't going to punish him.

Chen Liu will not take the initiative to talk about this matter, it would be better if he could cover it up.

The only thing that made Chen Liu feel more embarrassed was that when he returned to the room and took out the secret letter to look at the task, there were a few big words written on the letter:

"Enter the school yard and check the guards."

「……」

Chen Liu solemnly suspected that Feng Shuai had calculated everything again, and now he was playing with him. He just turned down the best chance to enter the school field!

However, the official level crushed people to death, not to mention that Feng Shuai was higher than he didn't know how many levels.

Later, when he went shopping with Mo Li, he became a little absent-minded.

I don't know if I begged her back, or went to find an opportunity myself......

"What's wrong with you?"

"Not really. Your Highness, are you hungry? Do you want me to cook a bowl of noodles for you to eat?"

Chen Liu said casually, but Mo Li thought about it and nodded.

So, Chen Liu had no choice but to spend a tael of silver to rent a roadside noodle stall, knead the noodles, and give Mo Li and the guards who accompanied him a bowl of oily noodles.

Her Royal Highness added some extra meat foam to Her Royal Highness's bowl, and everyone else's was quite vegetarian.

However, no one has an opinion, and there is always a difference between the top and the bottom.

"Chen Liu, your skills are not bad."

The head of the sect, Wu Xun, ate Chen Liu's noodles and sincerely sighed at Chen Liu's ability.

They are a group of rough men, who are good at dancing knives and guns, and they don't know anything about pots and pans.

Chen Liu sat at a table with them and also ate somen noodles.

Hearing their praise, he hurriedly waved his hand and said no.

"Little Liuzi, come here."

Chen Liu's table was so lively that Mo Li, who was eating noodles alone.

So she threw the chopsticks directly onto the bowl and asked Chen Liu to come over.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"No, how about you upset?"

"That is naturally at the mercy of His Highness. Or will your subordinates accompany Your Highness to relax, such as the school field or where?"

Mo Li looked at Chen Liu with a suspicious expression.

Chen Liu was embarrassed and broke out in a cold sweat and said:

"It's a little hot on this side, Your Highness, don't you say it?"
