Chapter 48: Tacit Understanding

I don't know who she is, but she is always chasing after herself, wanting Chu Xia's life. She frantically fled for her life in her dreams, but she still didn't avoid death. She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and woke up from her nightmare.

"Huhuhuhu......"

Chu Xia did it, gasping for breath, trying to calm his heart. But the nightmare can't be forgotten.

She felt that this was not a coincidence, a woman had always appeared in her dreams, and she had never changed the plot, this must be reality, it was something that would happen, Chu Xia was very scared and panicked. :

She didn't know what to do, whether she should tell Jing Yuan about it. It was still dark outside, and she lay down again and went back to sleep.

However, she tossed and turned, couldn't sleep, and was always disturbed by the dream. She wanted to know what the woman looked like, to find out who it was, why she wanted to kill her, and what it was for.

In this way, Chu Xia did not sleep well until dawn. When she got up and got dressed, she looked at her pale face in the mirror, and the black circles under her eyes, which was really hard to see.

She planned to tell Jing Yuan about this matter, ask him what he thought, and see if it would help her. She went out and felt a little hungry, so she went to the kitchen, where there were dumplings made by the ladies last night.

"Chu Xia is here, I'll have breakfast in a while, sit there and wait for a while."

A peasant woman was busy in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for everyone. Seeing Chu Xia coming, she didn't have time to entertain Chu Xia, so she asked her to sit there and wait for a while.

Chu Xia also sat there obediently, watching this peasant woman busy there. She wanted to help, but she wouldn't let her. This made Chu Xia very helpless, so he had to sit here and watch her work.

Jing Yuan had just woken up, and when he saw that the sky outside was already bright, he quickly got up from the bed, he had other important things to do today, and he had to ask the older men in this village what they thought of the current imperial court.

In this way, he was able to formulate policies that were in line with the will of the people, and it also helped him to succeed in obtaining the throne of the monarch.

After getting up, he wanted to go to Chu Xia, but he was worried that she hadn't gotten up yet, so he didn't go to her, and went directly to the kitchen by himself, he was a little hungry.

However, as soon as he arrived at the kitchen door, he saw a figure, so familiar. Dressed in a pink robe, her hair was tied very neatly, this was Chu Xia's usual dress, at this time Chu Xia didn't notice that Jing Yuan had come, she was still sitting there in a daze.

"Chu Xia, why did you get up, I thought you didn't get up and didn't disturb your sleep."

Jing Yuan looked at Chu Xia, walked up to her, and talked to her.

Chu Xia, who heard the voice, came back to her senses and looked up at Jing Yuan, she didn't expect Jing Yuan to get up. I thought he was asleep, but when she got up, Jing Yuan really didn't wake up.

The eldest lady saw Jing Yuan also coming over, and hurriedly asked him to sit down. He sat next to Chu Xia, and the two of them waited for dinner like this.

"Alright, alright, it's ready, come and eat."

The eldest lady beckoned the two of them and asked them to come over to eat quickly, this dumpling can't wait, it won't taste good for a while.

Jing Yuan stood up and walked over to help the eldest lady carry the meal, while Chu Xia helped cross the water. The cooperation between these two people is quite tacit, and it really seems to be a family.

The two of them sat down to eat, and they were well fed, and then they helped to cook everyone's meal, and in a short time they should get up, and everyone would come to eat.

I forgot the time when I was busy, the meal was probably ready, Jing Yuan went to inform everyone to come to dinner, and Chu Xia was there to help prepare chopsticks.

"How is it, Miss Chu, the two of you are developing well."

While the eldest lady was busy, she was chatting with Chu Xia. asked how the two of them developed, but the people of this village were very optimistic about the two of them, and they couldn't wait to witness the relationship between the two.

Chu Xia blushed with shame, and he couldn't even concentrate on the work in his hands.

"No, auntie,

What do you say?"

"Auntie, this guy is really good, if you two have a good impression, just get married, it's quite suitable."

When Chu Xia heard it, she talked about getting married, which was something she had never thought about, and she blushed even more, and she didn't know how to answer at all.

At this time, Jing Yuan came with everyone, which could be regarded as saving Chu Xia from the embarrassing atmosphere.

"Eat, everyone, don't go hungry. There's something else to do after eating, everyone is full."

Jing Yuan greeted and asked everyone to sit down to eat. After the meal, he had something to ask everyone, the weather was not good today, and it was estimated that it would rain again, so he didn't have to go to work in the farmland, and just took this opportunity to chat with the people.

Chu Xia brought food to everyone, Jing Yuan also went to help, the two looked at each other, and Chu Xia quickly avoided his eyes, also because of shyness.

The words of the eldest lady echoed in Chu Xia's mind for a long time, and they couldn't be dispersed.

Does Jing Yuan like me?

Will you marry me?

Chu Xia actually had such a thought in her heart, she shook her head, and let her thoughts return to normal, she couldn't think about this mess anymore. This made her feel very uncomfortable, upset, and she couldn't do things calmly.

Jing Yuan saw Chu Xia's abnormality, it was very strange, he kept paying attention to her every move, wondering what happened at the moment he left, why Chu Xia avoided his eyes just now, and was still so flustered.

After the meal, Jing Yuan organized everyone to go to a big empty house and asked everyone to sit down one after another.

"I asked you to come here today just to ask about something and understand your thoughts."

Jing Yuan looked at everyone, stood there and said this, quite a leader's demeanor.

"King Jing, if you have anything, just ask directly, and we will tell you."

"yes, just ask."

Everyone was gossiping, all the men he gathered here were the men from the village, and Chu Xia didn't come over. Jing Yuan didn't call her, after all, women in politics are not good at it.

"There are some inadequacies in the policies of the imperial court today, as well as the tyranny of the monarch, everyone has experienced it, and I hope you can talk about your feelings, any opinions or what your ideal monarch looks like, all of which can be said."

Everyone understood what Jing Yuan meant, that is, to give opinions, and then he looked at what he should do.

"Today's monarch is indeed incompetent, spending all day drinking, greedy for women, and ignoring political affairs at all, it really should be overthrown, I think King Jing is very suitable, and he will definitely win the hearts of the people as a king."

One of the men sat there and said these words, and everyone was silent for a moment, listening to him finish speaking, and then there was a boil, and everyone agreed with him.

"yes, I think so too."

"Yes, that's right."

Jing Yuan was very satisfied when he heard them praise himself like this, but he wanted to know what else he should do, it would be better.

"Thank you for your recognition, Jing is ashamed and ashamed, I still hope that you can put forward your opinions, on how to stipulate the punishment for future taxation or crimes, talk about your own opinions, I can also make a reference."

As soon as he finished saying this, everyone was a little silent, after all, they are all rough people, how can they understand the formulation of this kind of policy, they will also talk about their own thoughts, for this kind of problem, no one can really say it.

"As for taxation, I think that according to the number of people in each family, there is enough food for the family, and half of the excess can be collected as public food, and if there are not enough strong men in the family, they can be given food, so that there will be no such phenomenon as starvation."

Jing Yuan said his plan to see how everyone reacted.

But to be honest, his statement is indeed good, and it can be regarded as humane, which is much better than the policy of the current dynasty.

"Lord Wang, I think this statement is very good, for everyone

It's all fair."

"yes, that's good."

"It's much better than the policies of the current dynasty."

After listening to everyone's words, he was much more relieved and recognized by everyone, so this policy can be regarded as relatively successful, and it is necessary to implement it.

"Thank you, and let's talk about the punishment system."

As soon as Jing Yuan's voice fell, everyone fell silent and listened to what he said next.

"In my opinion, murder pays for life, theft goes to jail, and officials who are corrupt and degraded will never be punished by such punishment methods."

Everyone nodded in agreement with his statement, which was indeed a very reasonable policy, which made the people's idea of Jing Yuan being the monarch even stronger.

They wish they would revolt now, overthrow the monarch of the dynasty, and then put Jing Yuan on the throne. In this way, their good days will come, and they will no longer have to worry about living in fear.

"Thank you for your recognition, if I sit on the throne, I will definitely do so, and I will never break my word."

He gave a reassurance, and the people were reassured, and they were determined to follow him, believing that he would be an enlightened monarch, a thousand times better than this tyrannical king.

This discussion is almost over, Jing Yuan looked at everyone, and asked them to go about their own affairs, and today they can take a day off and arrange activities freely.

Everyone left one after another, and after waiting for the people to leave, Jing Yuan was about to leave, but Chu Xia came.

"I heard that at the conference just now. Your policy is very good, and it is very much in line with the people's will."

Chu Xia was praising him, Jing Yuan looked at Chu Xia with a smile, he was the happiest when he got her approval. Because he cares about her, he cares more about her opinion, and the reason why he didn't let Chu Xia come was because he was afraid that if she didn't approve of it, he would not be in the mood to continue.

But now it seems that he has thought too much, and Chu Xia approves of his approach and will support it.
