"I came out early in the morning, let's go back to the yard, have you drunk the medicine in the morning?"

"Drink, drink, how dare you look at me and not drink, aren't you watching here?"

"Luo Yue is still half an hour away from waking up, let's take you back to rest for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen to have a look later."

Yan Yunzhou was dragged back to the courtyard by him, and couldn't help asking:

"See what?"

"Luo Yueli's body is skinny, how can you say that she is also an official master, how did you do it? This wound recovery needs protein, I'll go to the kitchen to arrange a recipe, and yours, you also need to supplement protein. ”

After Luo Yueli woke up, Ning Zhi went over and took a look, Li Yan left in the afternoon, and Yan Yunzhou sent someone to Luo Yueli's mansion and picked up all the people who were used to serving him, so that he could use it easily.

It was also in the afternoon that Yan Yunzhou got the news from the palace, saying that it was eight hundred miles last night and it was urgent to say that the embankment in the upper reaches of the Huai River had burst, and Ning Qi was also stunned when he heard it, and the embankment burst in this era should not be a trivial matter.

Yan Yunzhou was a little silent, and finally spoke up:

"Yu'an, you accompany me to the next door."

Ning Ji didn't say anything when he saw that his face was not very good, and helped him over, Luo Yueli had woken up at this moment, the strength of the anesthetic had passed, and the wound was still a little painful, he put on his clothes and leaned on the soft pillow, and he was still holding something that seemed to be an account book in his hand, and when he heard the voice, he thought that Li Yan was back again, so he hurriedly hid it.

When he saw that the person who came in was Yan Yunzhou, he was relieved, and the little servant Xu Chang beside him bowed and saluted:

"Meet the prince, Lord Hou."

Ning Yao's gaze, which originally fell on Luo Yueli, was suddenly pulled to the little guy by this Hou Ye:

"What do you call me?"

"Master Hou."

Ning Ji suddenly smiled, yes, he remembered that he was not a bullshit princess now, he was now a marquis, and the people around him called him Ning Gongzi these days, Ning Gongzi's, he forgot that he now has a title, and suddenly turned to look at the people around him and said angrily:

"Who's around you? I don't know how to keep pace with the times, I am now a Hou Ye. ”

Yan Yunzhou was a little helpless and funny:

"Yes, Dark Xuan, go and tell the people in the mansion that in the future, they will not be called Ning Gongzi, they will be called Hou Ye."

Dark Xuan also held back a smile next to him:

"Yes, my subordinates will give orders."

Yan Yunzhou couldn't do anything about him, so he walked to Luo Yueli's couch and sat down, glancing at the booklet that showed a corner under his quilt:

"It's still hiding, when is it, can't you put aside what you're doing?"

Luo Yueli pressed her eyebrows:

"Let it go."

"I know about the Huaijiang dam bursting, and the food and household department for disaster relief is a little tight, right?"

Luo Yueli was silent for a long time before she spoke:

"Last year, there was a war in the south, and the west also increased a lot of military spending to prevent the invasion of the Western Regions, and the taxes paid to the national treasury in the past two years are just enough, and it is not the rainy season yet, and the Huaijiang River will burst its embankment, and I don't know what will happen after that."

Ning Qi sat on the side and didn't interject, but secretly thought in his heart, isn't Luo Yueli the Minister of Finance when he changes his current position to now? Is the topic of discussion now a national fiscal issue?

Yan Yunzhou took the booklet from his hand, he rarely took the initiative to meddle in the court in the past two years, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything:

"I heard that your folds have been piled up with imperial cases, you, it's better to take care of your body, you advocated that the land should be cleared before, and this court has opened the pot, and now it is up to the Xungui gate valve, down to the local squire, one by one, I wish you were sick and died."

Yan Yunzhou looked down at the booklet in his hand, the booklet was nothing else, but the result of a piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing under Luo Yueli's insistence, the number of private fields recorded on it was half less than the number of the Holy Ancestor period, this suburb of Beijing is like this, and the Emperor Shangao does not know what the situation is.

Luo Yueli looked up and snorted when she saw him:

"Surprised? Now the imperial treasury has no silver, can not build water conservancy, can not support the army, but fattened those gate lords and squires, in just seven years, Li Qi turned the beam into an empty shelf. ”

Yan Yunzhou's face became more and more gloomy, he has not often been in the court in the past few years, he knows that in the past few years of Li Qi's reign, there have been a lot of disadvantages in the court, but he knows that he has not seen it as clearly as Luo Yueli, the court has no silver, and he can't do anything he wants, and in the long run, the country will be unstable.

It's no wonder that Luo Yueli doesn't have a smile on his face every day, if he looks at these account books every day, he doesn't have a good face, Yan Yunzhou closed his eyes and took away the account books:

"I just opened the knife, it's not a trivial matter, what do you want to do now, Your Majesty won't let you out, I'll take these and take a look, you can rest."

Yan Yunzhou was helped back to his yard by Ning Jiao, this afternoon, he didn't even sleep every day, so he kept leaning on the soft collapse to look at the account book in his hand, Ning Qi came back in a circle, and saw that the person was still holding the account book, he handed the medicinal tea up:

"You also want to learn from Luo Yueli? Take a break, drink some tea, and show me. ”

As he spoke, he snatched the account book from his hand, is this account book something that no provincial or ministerial level can't touch in modern times?

Ning Qi saw that there was this account above, and compared the area of the land and the period of the Holy Ancestor, the use and the belonging:

"How can there be so much less? Where did the rest of the land go? ”

How can there be so much less land in the same way of measurement?

Yan Yunzhou knew that he might not know much about this, so he opened his mouth to explain:

"During the reign of the Holy Ancestor, the Holy Ancestor had detailed regulations on the feudal princes and officials, as well as how much land officials at all levels could get, at that time, the Great Liang was initially decided, and the peasant households were encouraged to open up the wasteland, and the amount of land increased significantly compared with the previous dynasty, and these peasant households handed over the silver grain was the bulk of the treasury revenue, and this system was continued.

During the reign of the first emperor, the officials ruled the Qingming Dynasty, and the tax revenue of the treasury has been very stable, but after Li Qi succeeded to the throne, the Wei family became bigger because of the reasons of relatives, and the government and the opposition were up and down, and official positions were bought and sold, and a large amount of silver went into the pocket of the officials at every turn, where did the silver come from? Isn't it coming from these farmers? ”

Yan Yunzhou tapped the ledger in his hand, and then continued to speak:

"During Li Qi's reign, the local government has become a lot bigger, they annexed land, bought land from farmers at a low price during natural disasters, and turned farmers who were supposed to grow fields and pay grain into tenant farmers, and they tried to find ways to conceal the acquired land under various names, and finally it was what it was like in this account book."

Ning Yi's eyebrows frowned slightly, he understood that the powerful in this place wanted official positions, and the courtiers in the opposition wanted to be promoted, which inevitably made the silver, and in the end the silver came out of those farmers, and the taxes of the Liang depended on the land, and those lands were equivalent to the tax base, and the essence of these people's practices was to erode the tax base.

Ning Qi fanned the wind with the account book in his hand, cocked Erlang's legs, and sighed:

"This is not a simple measure of the land can be solved by the problem, official sales, up and down, this kind of thing has lasted for seven or eight years, some officials in the officialdom, even if some did not want to give gifts in the past, in order to keep the current position from being squeezed out by others, they will follow suit, this corruption, selling officials has become a trend, if this wind can't be killed, no matter how many times the land is measured, it will be in vain."

If the actions of the imperial court are heavy, those officials and gentry will not dare to resist openly, and return the land when they are measured, and when this wind passes, will those peasant households not be oppressed in the past, and how will they be oppressed in the future?

Yan Yunzhou looked at him in surprise after hearing this, and the appreciation in his eyes was undisguised:

"Master Hou, this is to the point."

Listening to this yin and yang strange words, Ning Ji twisted his arm with a smile:

"What? Do you really think I'm a doctor who can only operate? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Yan Yunzhou glanced at Ning Yao's face before speaking:

"Yu'an, I want to go to court the day after tomorrow."

Ning Yi immediately raised his head:

"You want to go to court? How do you go up with your legs? ”

Yan Yunzhou's knees now, without a cane and no one to support him, he can't walk far, not to mention that the last dynasty is going to walk in from Qinghua Gate, and he has to stand for an unknown amount of time, how can he rest assured?

Yan Yunzhou took his hand and tossed it:

"It's okay, His Majesty will give you a seat when you go to the palace."

Li Yan couldn't really let him stand all the way to the court, Ning Yan twisted his eyebrows, holding this account book in his hand:

"Is it because of this land clearance?"

Yan Yunzhou didn't hide it from him:

"Luo Yueli can't go to the court for a while, and now there are not many people in the court who support the land of Qingzhang, and the Su family is naturally on His Majesty's side, but this is tantamount to going against the entire family, even if it is an old minister in the court, there are a few people like Su Taishi, this wave has just risen, and it can't be drowned like this."

Yan Yunzhou's expression was fierce for a moment, he looked at Ning Qi, his eyebrows were deep:

"The battle has begun, and you can't retreat easily."

That's why Luo Yueli has been dragging on and refusing to come to treat his injuries, Qingzhang land is just the beginning, and the opposition of the court and China is repeated, if they can't insist at this time, then the courtiers who follow them will beat drums in their hearts, thinking if they have retreated? If this wave is suppressed, it will only be more difficult to bring it up again than it is now.

Ning Zhi has not let go of his eyebrows since he mentioned the court, this person is going to the court, this is clearly going to war, in the past, it was a real sword and a real gun, and now it is a sword, which is not better than the other, and this time he is in the court, can he stop in the future?

He also thought about waiting for Yan Yunzhou's body to raise him and then give him surgery on his knee, if he tossed this time, he didn't know what the problem would be, but it would definitely not be realistic to let him leave the current situation alone.

All kinds of thoughts passed through Ning Yao's mind, and finally he raised his head and spoke:

"No, you still can't go to the court, don't you want to go to the court just to stick to what Luo Yueli wants to do? In order to give those courtiers who followed a backbone in their hearts. ”

Yan Yunzhou didn't say anything, so he acquiesced, and then Ning Yi simply spoke:

"I'm the Marquis of Ning Yuan now, so I should be able to go to the court, right?"

Yan Yunzhou was stunned, and his voice came up a little:

"You're going?"

Ning Shi Shiran put down the booklet in his hand:

"yes, what can't I go? If it is about meritorious deeds, I will open the door of Kyoto, and besides, the government and the opposition know that I am your princess, and what I mean in the court is naturally what you mean. ”

Yan Yunzhou really didn't think of this method, but what Ning Ji said also made some sense, and his meaning naturally represented him, and he could also play a calming attitude, but after all, Ning Ji had never been to the court, and Ning Ji sat directly on the edge of his soft collapse, and tried to persuade him again:

"You just say that what I said makes sense, right? Is it the goal you want to achieve, I can achieve it when I go to the court? You said that you can't stand for a long time, and your body can't stand it after a long time, and those courtiers look at you, maybe they are thinking in their hearts that you may not be able to hang up again.

Besides, when it comes to combat effectiveness, I can't compare to you right away, can't this mouth compare to you? Didn't I tell you? When I defended my doctorate, I fought against the Confucianism and overwhelmed all directions, not to mention a few courtiers. ”

Ning Qi raised his arm, that posture was very strong, Yan Yunzhou naturally heard him talk about the ruthless operation of his previous defense that he did not answer.

Yan Yunzhou had a headache, leaned sideways to support his forehead, and his tone was a little helpless:

"But you haven't been to the court yet, you can't recognize all the people, what if you go up and fight too strong, you don't distinguish between the enemy and me, and you accidentally hurt your allies?"

"There's a first time for everything, and you're not born to go to court, besides, you can't have a single person I know in the court, right? Can you find me a few allies, and remind me when the time comes, or make a password or something? ”

Yan Yunzhou really couldn't do anything about him, it was the first time in his life that he heard someone go to the court and make a code.

"Most of the people you know are military generals in the former army, and now Li Han and many of them have gone to the northern garrison, and the one you know and reliable in the court is also in northern Jiangsu, but how can you speak out at will above the court, and what code can you guarantee that you can see every time?"

But Ning Yi was not defeated by this problem, he also mentioned this matter when he and Yan Yunzhou went to see Luo Yueli together in the evening, and several people were talking, Li Yan came from the palace, he stood at the door and listened to the laughter inside, carefully distinguishing Luo Yueli's voice, he had not heard him laugh so pure for a long time.

Luo Yueli was really amused when she heard this thought:

"I know Master Hou's combat effectiveness, don't say it, it's really a way for him to go for you."

Li Yan stepped into the threshold:

"What are you talking about, it's so lively."

Seeing him coming, Yan Yunzhou got up and bowed, and Luo Yueli also had to hold up a little, but was hurriedly pressed back by Li Yan:

"Lie down, are you better? Does the wound hurt? ”

Seeing that Li Yan was really nervous, Luo Yueli was not perfunctory:
