Chapter 173: People Are Like Stars and Rain (7)

June 12 was a very ordinary day. This day is neither a general festival, nor the time of the solar terms of the calendar, nor the birthday of any god or Buddha. However, decades after today, this day is firmly remembered by millions of Turks.

"Well, that Taoist priest, what are you going to do!" The guards saw a white-bearded and silver-haired Taoist priest in Tsing Yi coming with a sword from a distance, and he stepped forward and reprimanded sharply. The guards behind him grabbed the blades in their hands and stared at Qing Xuan.

"You are innocent, and killing you is the way of heaven. Qing Xuan looked up to the sky and sighed, and suddenly pulled out his long sword with a "hum", turning into a phantom and disappearing from everyone's sight.

... ...

"King Ning, is there a compromise for tax reform?"

The court of the Turkic country has always had the style of diligent government, and the early dynasty was from the second quarter of the hour to the second quarter of the hour, at this time, the upper end of the palace of diligent government Mu Lan was discussing the tax reform with a cadre of relatives and nobles in the coming year. King Ning Duanmu Ke is the emperor's half-brother and a minister of the pillar of the Turkic State.

"Back to the emperor, the courtiers and the prince can't share the strategy, and ask the emperor to make a holy decision. Duanmu Ke replied with his hand.

"Hmm..."The tax reform is an important matter of national politics, King Ning and the crown prince have their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone, but the real sect Duanmulan has a headache, "King Ning, first of all, how do you think the tax should be changed?"

Ning Wang took two steps forward, held his hand and said: "Looking at the country, there are many barren fields in the four realms, and it will be difficult for the people to survive Japan. Since there will be a big war with Dahua sooner or later, the Turkic country should encourage the people to have more children, and the household tax and Ding tax should not only not be increased, but should also be appropriately reduced. Dahua's silk and medicinal herbs, Shatuo's grains, and Xian Ma's war horses are far better than self-produced, and they must be tried to make them flow inward, and the quick way is to be exempt from taxes and commercial taxes. Therefore, the younger brother thinks that the tax policy in the coming year is to reduce and reduce the people's livelihood in order to strengthen the people's livelihood. ”

"Hmm... There is a reason for that. Duanmulan nodded, obviously agreeing with his words. Seeing Duanmu Yu's forehead and eyebrows locked, he asked, "Prince, what do you think?"

"The battle with Dahua will be in a few years. There were 550,000 soldiers preparing for war, and one person ate half a catty of rice a day, and the food consumption of the whole army was 440 stone a day, and 160,000 stone a year. The current price of one stone of polished rice is 7 taels or 8 yuan, and 160,000 stone is 1.2 million taels, plus the monthly salary of one tael per person, and the annual cost of military salaries and rations alone will cost 7.2 million taels! At present, the surplus of the treasury will be tens of millions, and once the war cannot be won within a year, the national strength will be exhausted, the supply at the front will be difficult to continue, and the army will be defeated without a fight!" Duanmu Yu walked to King Ning, and Zhengse said, "The suffering of the people has been many years, and it may not be necessary to relieve it urgently. However, with Dahua, there is only one major war in a hundred years, and we should work together to exhaust everything and complete our efforts in one battle! The most important thing at present is to raise money extensively, train troops diligently, and fight a quick battle, so as not to be burdened by national strength. ”

"What the prince said is also reasonable. Duanmulan frowned, obviously a little embarrassed

King Ning had no intention of backing down, and asked again: "Prince, how long do you expect to win the battle with Dahua?"

"As the generals know, the war is complicated, the time, geography, and morale can all affect the outcome of the battle, although we seek a quick battle, but we must not ensure when we can triumph, this section, Uncle Ning Wang must understand" Duanmu Yu did not answer his question directly.

"Prince, you are the head of the military generals, presiding over the Northern Expedition, and you can't think about anything more than the military camp. I am the head of the civil service, and all I care about is the people. The people's livelihood is so hard that it is difficult to eat and eat, and forcibly raising taxes will inevitably lead to a lot of resentment and fear of a civil uprising! At that time, the external war will not be effective, and the internal worries will arise again, what should we do? I think that we should first stabilize the internal affairs and then seek the benefits of the war!" King Ning said with wide eyes. "You have a mouth that is worth millions of taels of taels, and I can't give birth to any money! This legislation, taxation, and grain are all done by my people, and the people of the world are scolding me, the first assistant of the civil minister. Even if Dahua is defeated, the world praises you Duanmuyu, and it is the tens of millions of hardworking people in the Turkic country who want to pull my muscles and peel my skin. There is no concession to this matter. ”

"The danger of Dahua is only in the moment!" Duanmu Yu refuted in a cold voice, "Dahua's foundation is far greater than mine, and the fighter of the Turkic Kingdom lies in the civil strife in the Dahua Dynasty. At present, Xia Yuhua's four sons are fighting each other, and they are incompatible, and the swords are facing each other, which is the weakest time in 300 years, and it is the only good opportunity that our country has been waiting for for a hundred years.

"What the prince said is a bit exaggerated, according to..."Before King Ning finished speaking, he heard a dull "woo" sound from the octagonal platform of the palace wall, which was a warning sound from the "Shibela" at the palace gate.

Shibela, also known as Shihaixiao, is a kind of ingenious stone tool, which has always been a warning thing for Miyagi. Once there is a flood, an earthquake, or an enemy situation, the palace gate guards will blow it, and the inner court guards will seal the entrance and exit when they hear this "woo" sound, and the whole city will be under martial law.

"Let's see what's going on!" Duanmulan hurriedly stepped down from the throne and looked out, as he said to the old eunuch beside him.

The old eunuch answered "yes", hurriedly withdrew from the hall, and walked in the direction of the palace gate.

... ...

"Dou Zhuan Diagonal Step Twenty-three" takes the overlap of 64 hexagrams and 72 earthly evil stars as the carry foothold, and uses the 28 constellations and the 36 Tiangang stars to overlap and abdicate and settle down, which can be described as an extremely complex body martial art, however, once practiced, it is also infinitely useful. Qing Xuan's body method has already reached the realm of transformation, to the point of "walking like the wind, both virtual and real, and illusory and empty". At this time, he had turned into a phantom, shuttling among the eight hundred.

"Ah, my legs... Oh my legs!"...

"There!

... ...

"Ah, my eyes!"

... ...

"In the Non Unitary Position!"

... ...

Qing Xuan's body is fast, like a ghost, there are eight hundred people, none of them can see clearly, only if someone is injured can he roughly judge his approximate location. However, when everyone reacted, where could they still see Qingxuan. Fortunately, Qingxuan only wanted to hurt people, and didn't want to kill more people, so this palace gate didn't have time to become another Shura field.

... ...

Seeing Mei Yuanchen's eagerness to go down the mountain, Zhan Wei's face became even more worried.

"Senior brother, our little junior brother is amazing, I'm afraid that in a few years, there will be few people on the rivers and lakes who are his opponents. Zhan Ming stroked the stone railing, smiled at Zhan Weidao on the side, saw that his face was wrong, and was about to ask, but heard him say: "I naturally know." ”

"Oh, that's amazing! Isn't it the first time you've seen him?" Zhan Ming asked, turning around.

"Alas... Alas, senior brother, my martial arts skills are not as good as yours, but this study of stargazing is far above yours. Zhan Wei sighed in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Yuanchen is an extremely domineering "Tiansha Shuanggu" face, but anyone who is close to him will inevitably be overcome. Senior brother, even you and me, we must pay more attention, and we must not have too close relationships with him!"

Zhan Ming was shocked, and replied: "This... This... How so!"
