"Liu Xiaolangjun has a unique vision." It seems that along the way, compared with the domineering His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Eleven Niang seems more approachable, the legendary arrogant Luo Jiulang is very happy to talk with her, at this time sincerely praised, and did not sell Guanzi, so he talked about the old man surnamed Nan in detail: "During the Dezong Dynasty, the old man of the south served as the position of Lizheng, and then because of his age, he took the initiative to let the virtuous, but in Bailing Village, the old man of the south has always been respected by the villagers, and said that over the years, because of the heavy taxes, many farmers have no choice but to flee, but the villagers of Bailing have been admonished by the old man of the south, Relatively speaking, there are very few fugitives, although the old man has long stopped serving as a official, but every year the yamen levies taxes, and he has mediated a lot in the middle, and there is no peasant resistance to the law in Bailing Village, or because he can't pay the grain and silk, the peasants were punished by the government. ”

Li Zheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty is actually equivalent to a village official, responsible for the collection of agricultural mulberry, inspection of illegal and other affairs, but is not a formal official, but a small official, although such a official, it is almost impossible to enter the stream, and it is not said to be powerful, but there is still a certain prestige in the local area, and Shi Niang became more and more curious: "Since the old man Nan has a field and has the respect of the villagers, why does he go out to beg?" ”

"What else can I do if I don't beg?" Luo Jiulang snorted coldly: "According to the law, Ding Nan granted 100 acres of land, 80 acres for the mouth of the field, 20 acres of Yongye field, but to the generation of the south of the old man, he only got ten acres of mouth land, the old man has three sons, all of them are adults, a total of only ten acres of land, the land is far from enough, but the family has to bear the rent of four people, if it is not for the support of the ancestral Yongye field, the annual harvest is not enough to pay taxes, the old father's family is still good in Bailing Village, barely able to make a living, but the old man is kind-hearted, seeing that many neighbors in the same village are unbearable to pay taxes, used his own grain and chestnuts to charge taxes, so that no one starved to death in Bailing Village! However, because of hunger and cold, many children in the village died of illness, not to mention those whose families were even poorer, it was Nan Laozhang, who had also died many grandchildren over the years, if he was not desperate, Nan Laozhang would not have intended to let the eldest grandson sell himself into slavery. ”

Eleven Niang is silent, the land is insufficient, this malaise has been a long time, and now the ruler of the court knows that the people are overwhelmed, but they have carried out many inspections and escapes, but they have not solved the fundamental problem, but although she has seen with her own eyes that the people are not allowed to live in peace and keep warm, and even can not punish local officials - they collect taxes, but they are all obeying the orders of the court king!

"The second son of the old man has already enlisted in the army, but now that the order to increase the number of troops is pressed, the younger son is afraid that he will not be able to keep it, and the whole family will only have Nan Dalang a prime-aged laborer, and the hard-earned income of a year is not even enough to make ends meet, and if he does not beg, is he waiting to starve to death?" Luo Jiulang said angrily: "Although the implementation of the new policy is said to reduce the burden on the peasants, who knows if it will benefit the big clan in the end?" If it is filed with the government, such as the old man's house in the south, at least 400 acres of land, if it is a middle household, wouldn't the tax be even heavier? ”

"If the new policy is implemented, of course, it is necessary to verify the land property." Eleven Niang said.

"I hope so, I hope Xue Shaoyin will live up to his reputation and don't do clever things, so that he can really alleviate the danger of Jinshuo." Luo Jiulang is obviously extremely unoptimistic about the current court officials.

Of course, Shi Niang would not argue with him about this issue: "I didn't expect Luo Langjun to be a child of a wealthy family, but he was not obsessed with selfish interests. ”

"If Jinshuo is not guaranteed, let alone the wealthy family, it will be difficult for even the family to live in peace." That's a lot of money.

"But it's not necessarily, isn't it rumored that Pan Bo cares about people's livelihood? Since you can treat the people of cloth well, maybe you will be kind to the nobles of the world. "Eleven Niang doesn't care about remarks.

Luo Jiulang laughed twice, obviously disdainful of this statement: "Pan Bo's chaotic ministers and thieves are nothing more than using this trick to buy people's hearts, for their own selfish desires, they actually colluded with the Northern Liao people and gave the great country to foreign races, if they were really attacked by the Pan and Liao coalition forces into Jinshuo, and the Great Zhou Dynasty died, how could the Northern Liao people treat the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty well?" At that time, the victory was laid, and the fangs of the Northern Liao people were exposed, and the disaster of Wuhu was bound to reappear! ”

"Luo Lang's words can be described as hitting the nail on the head." Shi Niang said: "If the nobles of Taiyuan have such foresight, the implementation of the new policy may be smooth." ”

Luo Jiulang's mood fell again, and he sighed: "It's a pity, it's also sad." But he no longer continued to talk about political affairs, and asked the servants and concubines to prepare wine and food, saying that they wanted to entertain the guests from afar.

When he was full of wine and food, although he did not go deeper, the night in the suburbs of the countryside was already dark, He Ye had been showing interest, and his two eyes were closely watching those young and beautiful maids, which seemed to make Luo Jiulang's heart unhappy, although he had a good conversation with Eleven Niang, but he quickly stopped talking about wine, and finally when He Ye couldn't help but yawn, Luo Jiulang said as a matter of course: "The two of you came from afar, you must have been tired early, and you should have rested earlier, but ...... The place is simple, and there are many families, so two rooms can be vacated, and only two servants and servants can be left for one night. ”

King Jin and Eleven Niang didn't care about it originally, but they were dumbfounded when they looked at the two guest rooms.

The room is not small, and it is very clean, but there is only one couch in both rooms, the one on the left, the couch is short and narrow, not to mention He Ye, even Eleven Niang can't stretch her hands and feet, Ai Lu dominates, and she has to bend her legs halfway. And in the room on the right, although the couch is relatively spacious, it is only relative, but it can allow He Ye to stretch his long legs.

"This Luo Jiulang, obviously on purpose, the princess dressed as a man should have been seen by him." He Ye was stunned for a long time, and then reasoned like this.

Eleven Niang could only smile bitterly: "This person is indeed a bit perverse, since he sees through it, but he doesn't say it directly, deliberately arranging it like this, he is testing the relationship between the two of us." ”

If they were brothers and sisters, they would not share the same bed anyway, and they would inevitably ask for another room.

"This Luo Jiulang has some meaning, and he didn't have to hide his identity from him, just this couch ......" Eleven Niang was embarrassed: "Your Highness can't sleep tonight." ”

On the big wedding bed on the wedding night, He Ye couldn't "tolerate" someone sleeping peacefully next to the pillow, let alone such a cramped couch.

But since Shi Niang intends to befriend Luo Jiulang, it is only a matter of time before she is honest about her identity, but she can't let him know that she and King Jin are "in name only", so she has to grieve He Ye for insomnia.

He Ye was helpless, walked around the room, saw the oil lamp, and immediately bluffed: "Hey, this kid, he is so stingy that he doesn't have enough lamp oil, this lamp will be lit for half an hour at most." ”

Eleven Niang: ......

The two had to take advantage of the lighting in the house, hurriedly washed, Eleven Niang took off her coat and went to the bed, only to find that although there was such a charcoal basin in this room, it was far from enough to relieve the cold, and the brocade quilt, there is only one bed, although His Royal Highness the King of Jin is not afraid of the cold, there is no need to compete with her for this brocade quilt, the problem is that this quilt is dominated by her, and it still does not feel warm.

Of course, if the husband and wife sleep with each other, they will not get cold, but such a skin-to-skin blind date is not applicable to the actual relationship between He Ye and Eleven Niang.

Now Eleven Niang is completely embarrassed.

He Ye had already blown out the lamp with a "whew", and lay down outside in the dark: "The princess will start early tomorrow, maybe I can sleep peacefully for an hour." ”

Although the two were back to back, because the bed was cramped, even if they maintained a motionless posture, they could still clearly sense the person next to the pillow, which made Eleven Niang unable to sleep at all, not to mention that there was a burst of coldness.

"Why are you trembling, don't be so nervous, although this king is not sitting still, he will not be untrustworthy." After half a ring, Eleven Niang heard someone's somewhat joking voice.

"The house is too big, and the quilt is too thin." The aggrieved Princess Jin had no choice but to tell the truth, and she couldn't help but slander Luo Jiulang, who was acting strangely.

"I don't feel cold." After He Ye said this, he realized that he had an extraordinary physique, and laughed twice: "I saw Liu Shiyi talking with Na Luo Jiu very happily earlier, and obviously admired it quite a lot, how is it now?" Did you secretly complain about Luo Jiu's perverse behavior? ”

"Your Highness, let it be a disaster." Eleven Niang couldn't cry or laugh.

This obviously frustrated mood really made He Ye laugh for a while, before turning over to this side: "Why can't you let the princess be cold, if you are cold, wouldn't it be that I can't take good care of it, my father-in-law and Aunt Yingyang know, I can't eat and hang, it's just ...... Don't blame me for being rude, princess. ”

also squeezed into the quilt and used his body temperature to keep the princess warm.

"Tsk, the princess's hand is really not much better than ice." He Ye stretched out his arm, half-hugged the woman in his arms, and even touched the back of the princess's hand, and after sighing, his hand was left there and didn't move.

Eleven Niang felt the warm chest on her back, as well as the breathing close to her ears, knowing that He Ye's behavior at this time was not about the relationship between men and women, but the warmth of the breath that could be smelled close to the skin still made her whole body tense and extremely uncomfortable.

Not disgust, but unaccustomedness.

And the woman's delicate body obviously made His Royal Highness the King of Jin have a normal reaction, so he was more and more careful to maintain the subtle distance between the two, so as not to cause more embarrassing things to happen, this taste, naturally it was not comfortable, even He Ye couldn't help but complain about Luo Jiu in his heart.
