Meng Fei'er looked at the four words in the sky, turned her head to look at Jin Ge, her eyes moistened, and her lips opened......

The flickering fireworks in the sky reflected her pretty face even more beautifully.

Jin Ge walked up to Meng Fei'er, helped her wipe away the tears on her face, and asked, "Fei'er, do you like it?" ”

Meng Fei'er nodded, a blush on her face.

Jin Ge suddenly felt the softness in his arms, and the refreshing body fragrance penetrated into his nose, and his mouth was warm and sweet......

On the second day, the most talked about by the people of Chang'an City was the fireworks last night.

"Did you see last night's auspiciousness? It's so beautiful......"

"It's not auspicious, they say it's fireworks."

"What are you talking about? It's auspicious again, it's fireworks again, I went to bed early last night, I didn't see it! ”

"That's a pity, last night's auspiciousness, no! No! It was the fireworks that went off for a while, and finally there were words in the sky......"

"And the words? What word? ”

"Yes...... Fei you are the ......"

"What do you mean?"

"It's supposed to be a sign of love......

In the palace, Qi Mao sat in front of the imperial case in the Qinzheng Palace, looking outside the hall from time to time.

When the historian saw Qi Mao like this, he wrote in the historical records: "On the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, I was restless ......."

Last night's fireworks were too gorgeous, and after seeing the concubines and concubines in the harem, they shouted that they also wanted such gifts.

Qi Mao knew that this firework must have been made by Jin Ge, so he said casually: I will find a way to get it for you in a few days.

It's okay not to say it, so to speak.

Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu were coquettish and cute one by one, so that his newly cultivated body was completely hollowed out again.

Early this morning, he sent someone to summon Jin Ge into the palace.

But after going for more than half an hour, there was still no shadow of Jin Ge.

"Always!"

Qi Mao finally couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly.

Chang You leaned over from outside the hall, walked in, and said, "Your Majesty! ”

"Hasn't Jingo arrived yet?"

"The minion is going to ask."

There is often a desire to turn around.

A little eunuch hurriedly ran in, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, Kim ...... Jin Xianzi he ......"

When Qi Mao heard this, he looked surprised and asked, "Tell me quickly, what's wrong with him?" ”

"He said he was sick......"

As soon as Qi Mao heard this, he had a problem, his brows furrowed slightly, he stared straight at the little eunuch, and said coldly: "What does he mean when he says he is sick?" ”

The little eunuch was at a loss for what to do, and secretly aimed at Chang You.

Chang You nodded slightly.

The little eunuch said hesitantly: "Slave...... When the slave went to the Protector's Mansion, Jin Xianzi was eating. ”

When Jin Xianzi knew that His Majesty had called him, he ...... He said he was dizzy, had a headache, and was a little nauseous......"

Qi Mao was furious when he heard this, and patted the royal case and said, "Bold! ”

The historian was busy writing in the historical records: "When I heard that Jin Xianzi was sick, I was furious......"

Chang Youyou bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is angry!" Your Majesty is angry, Jin Xianzi said this, there must be his troubles......"

Qi Mao narrowed his eyes, his face was very ugly, and he asked the little eunuch, "What else did he say?" ”

The little eunuch hurriedly took out a letter from his sleeve and raised his hands above his head.

Chang You hurriedly stepped forward and took the letter, tore it open and handed it to Qi Mao.

Qi Mao glanced at the contents of the letter roughly, his face softened slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the little eunuch hurriedly retreated.

After a while.

Qi Mao handed the letter to Chang You and said, "You also look at the content of the letter to see if there are any problems." ”

Chang You respectfully accepted the letter and read it carefully.

The content of the letter was just some explanations about the fireworks and Jingo's condition.

Jin Ge said that the disease he suffers from is called anxiety disorder.

After reading it, he respectfully placed it on the imperial case and did not speak.

Qi Mao closed his eyes tightly, tapped the imperial case with his fingers, and suddenly asked, "Chang Yes, why do you say that Jin Ge said that he was sick and didn't come to see me?" ”

Chang You thought for a while and said, "The slave is stupid, and he really can't think of it for a while." ”

Qi Mao sneered: "A few days ago, the household department played and wanted Jin Ge to go to Jingzhou. ”

"After investigating the Jingzhou assassin Dong Qian and the Dingguo Mansion's private embezzlement of tax silver, Jin Ge said that he was sick at home."

"I summoned him to the palace today, but he still said he was sick, it seems that he was worried that I would let him go to Jingzhou!"

Seeing that Qi Mao just said "bold", he didn't follow.

I often have a very bad feeling in my heart.

If it is replaced by someone else, this is the crime of deceiving the king, and it will be raided and destroyed.

But what about Jingo? Just said boldly.

Chang You wondered what kind of magic Jin Ge used to confuse Qi Mao.

Chang You thought about it very seriously and said: "Jingzhou is rampant, the land is barren, and it is still the place of Dingguo Gong, so it is understandable that Jin Xianzi is worried about his own safety and does not go to the hospital. ”

Qi Mao shook his head and said, "Jin Ge definitely doesn't mean that when he says he is sick, why is it?" ”

……

Now.

Jin Ge was resting in his room in the Protector's Mansion.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Smack!

Jin Ge opened his eyes, sat up, and said, "Come in!" ”

The door creaked open.

A man in black walked up to him, bowed down and said, "The people in Jingzhou have passed a book saying that there has been nothing major in Jingzhou recently. ”

"I just heard that the envoys of the Great Shang Kingdom will arrive in Jingzhou in the near future."

The man in black said, took an account book from his arms, put it on the table and said, "Second aunt, this is the tax account book of the state capitals from the ninth year of Jingde to the eleventh year of Jingde, and the past three years. ”

Jin Ge's face immediately showed a look of surprise, and he hurriedly took out the silver ticket from his arms, handed it to the man in black, and said, "Fourteenth uncle, you can take this silver and drink tea with a few uncles!" ”

The man in black was not polite, and after putting away the silver ticket, he exited the room and closed the door.

At this time, Jin Ge opened the account book on the table.

What is recorded above is the tax revenue of the state capitals of the Great Qiandi Dynasty in the last three years.

Jin Ge recorded the tax figures of each state capital in the past three years in a table.

Look at the rise and fall of taxes in these state capitals.

Jin Ge didn't feel anything wrong.

It's just that when he saw the taxes of Liangzhou and Dingzhou, he was slightly stunned.

He seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly took the "Guangzhi of Daqianzhou Mansion" that he was reading these days from the pillow.

"Guangzhi of the Great Qianzhou Prefecture" is a detailed record of the system and customs of the various prefectures of the Great Qian, as well as the major and minor events that occurred every year.

He quickly flipped to the eleventh year of Jingde.

I saw that it read: "In the eleventh year of Jingde, in June, there was a severe drought in Liangzhou and Chaozhou, and more than 100,000 displaced people went south to ......"

Jin Ge glanced at Jingde's eleventh year's tax on the form again.

Finally, he found the clue.

In the eleventh year of Jingde, Liangzhou and Chaozhou were in great drought.

But why didn't the tax revenue change much that year?

Jin Ge frowned, and said to himself: "The people are gone, who will the government find to collect taxes......
