Chapter four hundred and seventy-six: encounter the virtuous princess
Emperor Chu asked: "So they don't say they are worried that the imperial court will touch their interests?"
Xu Qing said: "People are selfish, so your Majesty must not say that state-owned land was proposed by ministers."
Emperor Chu looked at Xu Qing, sighed and said: "You solved my urgent need, but you hide your fame and are not rewarded. It really makes me uneasy."
Xu Qing was very moved by these words. The emperor was still upright!
Unlike his brother, he takes advantage of whatever is available.
Feeling uneasy?
nonexistent!
A wise king will always feel that he wants too little.
Moreover, the wise king also changed his name at will.
Hand grenades and hand grenades have such nice names, and they are worthy of their names.
He actually changed his name to Zhen Tianlei?
No vision!
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said: "If your majesty insists on a reward, why not reward the tenants of Fengzhou without having to pay rent for the land for two years. Fengzhou has many mountainous areas and there is very little land for farming. The disaster last year was particularly serious and the people were in poverty.
It's unbearable. If the rent can be reduced or reduced for two years, their lives will be greatly improved."
After hearing this, the Emperor of Chu couldn't help but smile and said: "As expected of the Marquis of Anding County of our great Chu, he always thinks about the people of our great Chu. If all the courtiers were like you, our great Chu would have unified the Central Plains long ago and wiped out all the barbarians."
Xu Qing heard this and corrected him: "Your Majesty, I am a county uncle, not a county prince."
Emperor Chu said: "Don't you take the imperial edict? You will do it after you go back. Since you are so considerate of the people of Fengzhou, I can't be left behind. I will also order a two-year tax exemption for the people in the severely affected areas of Fengzhou.
.”
When Xu Qing heard this, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise, but... the national treasury is still empty now, can we afford to reduce it?"
Emperor Chu said: "What do you mean? It's a little empty now. The state of Zhou has already declared war on Chu. After defeating the state of Zhou, we will naturally have money."
Xu Qing: "..."
Zhou Guo is not declaring war, it is giving away money!
It turns out that money really can make money.
As long as the Xian King has enough start-up capital, he can ask Zhou Guo for a bunch of money.
…
Emperor Chu watched Xu Qing resigned and walked out of the imperial study, and shouted: "Wei Zhong."
Eunuch Wei walked in with Fuchen in his hand, bowed and said: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Chu said: "Go and order the Hanlin Academy to draw up an edict to reduce or reduce taxes on the state for two years. By the way, it must be written clearly in the edict. This time, Xu Qing, the Marquis of Anding County, is begging me for tax exemptions. Go ahead.
.”
Eunuch Wei received the order and said: "I obey the order."
After Wei Zhong went out, the Emperor of Chu put the imperial seal into the box and murmured: "I can't give you a reward this time, but I will try to win a good reputation for you."
…
Xu Qing came out of the palace and couldn't help but sigh.
The people in the palace are so careless every time.
Every time they only know how to take themselves to the palace in a carriage, haven't they considered that they actually have to go home after the interview?
Alas, I had to go to Guoshangyuan to get a car to take me back.
Just as Xu Qing was walking on the road to the Guoshangyuan, he saw a graceful and beautiful woman walking towards him.
Xu Qing quickly cupped his hands and said, "I have seen it before..."
The oncoming Princess Xian interrupted Xu Qing with a smile on her face and said: "There are many people here, so there is no need to bow."
Xu Qing said: "How come the princess is free?"
Princess Xian said: "I am also worried about something."
Out of politeness, Xu Qing asked: "I wonder why the princess is worried? Maybe I can help."
When Princess Xian heard what Xu Qing said, she smiled and said: "I have heard from the prince that you are resourceful and thoughtful. It's like this. Seven days later, the queen invited the ladies from Beijing to attend the palace party. The queen is the mother of a country.
, Facing many ladies in the capital, proper etiquette should be followed, so I came out to pick a gift for the queen, but I don’t know what gift to pick. Do you have any good ideas? "
Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, "There are still a few glazed artifacts in Guoshang Yuan, which would be quite suitable as gifts for others."
"Oh?" Princess Xian said in surprise: "I thought that the colored glaze stored by the Chu royal family had been sold out at the colored glaze appreciation meeting, but I didn't expect that there is still colored glaze in the Guoshang Academy?"
Xu Qing nodded and said: "There are indeed some exquisite glass ornaments. I just want to go to the Guoshangyuan. If the princess needs them, I will send them over later."
Princess Xian said: "I just have some free time and want to go out for a walk, so let's go together."
Xu Qing stretched out her hand and said, "Princess, please."
…
Princess Xian walked in front, and Xu Qing walked beside Princess Xian. But for some reason, Xu Qing always felt inexplicably nervous when facing Princess Xian. He never felt this way when facing Prince Xian, an old fox.
While walking on the road, Princess Xian asked: "Xue'er hasn't caused any trouble to you in Uncle Anding's house these days, has she?"
Xu Qing shook her head and said: "The princess is very obedient and has never caused any trouble."
Princess Xian smiled and said: "You are the only one who can see this girl. She is very naughty and tight when she is in the palace. Neither the prince nor I can do anything about her. I heard that she was smashed with the national seal a few days ago.
It’s a bit outrageous to eat walnuts.”
Although Princess Xian said something outrageous, she had a doting smile on her face, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction at all.
Xu Qing said: "Although the princess is a bit naughty on weekdays, she is still very knowledgeable and learns things quickly. The princess helped me a lot and... also taught me a lot."
Having said this, Xu Qing couldn't help but rub his scarred arms.
This little girl always likes to grab her own hand when competing. Not only does she like to grab it, she also likes to pinch it...
This made Xu Qing miserable.
A set of skilled grappling techniques made Xu Qing miserable.
…
Xu Qing and Princess Xian walked into the Guoshangyuan while chatting.
Then Xu Qing led Princess Xian to a side room in the courtyard of the dean and said: "Go back to the princess, all the glazed utensils currently in the Guoshang Courtyard are here. Princess, take a look and see if there is anything you are satisfied with."
.”
Princess Xian walked in and looked at the small boxes placed inside, and said in surprise: "These colored glazes look more exquisite than the ones displayed at the colored glaze exhibition last time. These must be worth a lot of money, right?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Reporting to the princess, the National Business Institute has invented a method that can make colored glaze at a very low cost. It is only made to maintain the value of the colored glaze, so the princess can feel free to choose at will."
Princess Xian was surprised and said: "Is this happening? Then I have to pick a fight."
Before the proliferation of colored glaze, this thing still held its value.
Xu Qing did not follow Princess Xian into the house, but retreated outside and waited at the door.
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue walked in from the door of the small courtyard and was a little surprised to see Xu Qing with his back facing a door. Then he showed a smirk on his face, looked close to Xu Qing's back, and gently
Standing on tiptoes, he stretched out his two small hands and covered Xu Qing's eyes from behind, pressing his whole body against Xu Qing's back.
At this moment, Princess Xian walked out of the house...
