Li Er's lamenting voice came from the quiet pavilion from time to time. The eldest grandson tied a belt tightly on Li Er's head. The emperor had a headache. Ever since the eldest grandson told the emperor what the damn progressive tax system was.
After arriving, he began to have a headache. Sun Simiao, who was preparing Wei Zheng for surgery, came over hurriedly to check his pulse and said he was overly worried and did not need to take medicine. He only needed to rest for two days to recover.
"Guanyin Maid, are you saying that Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Yun Ye are laughing at me? They are laughing at me for shooting myself in the foot. It's so shameful. I have handled tens of thousands of government affairs. How can I record them one by one?
Don’t worry about these little things.”
The eldest grandson gently rubbed the emperor's temples and said: "Your Majesty, this is no small matter. I have calculated that the tax paid by Hengshun alone in one year is more than 80,000 silver coins, plus Chang'an, Luoyang, Jinyang
, the taxes paid by wealthy merchants in Yizhou, Yangzhou, Guangzhou, Dunhuang, and Dengzhou are definitely a huge amount, enough to build thousands of miles of roads.
You put too much energy on the people of Baiqisi. I have always wanted to say, but I always feel that I should not interfere. I think what happened today is good. If your majesty can be alert, the money will not be counted.
What."
"It's impossible not to keep an eye on it. The empire is getting bigger and bigger. I need to keep an eye on this country with all my heart. Even so, the Wuyoucao incident still occurred. If Yun Ye hadn't been dissatisfied with the use of Wuyoucao,
He wouldn't test me, and I wouldn't know that Baiqisi also secretly ordered something. I understand that a few worshipers are unwilling to be lonely and want to do something, but their methods are too sinister and will damage the fortune of the dynasty.
, this is intolerable.
They reported to me that secret materials would be transported to the capital, but they did not explain that the secret materials turned out to be worry-free grass. They expected me to be careless and omit this matter. If Yun Ye hadn't said that I would believe those things
Worry-free grass will become a gift to the Tibetan people. Although doing so will bring benefits to the Tang Dynasty, compared with the troubles of worry-free grass, it is better to avoid such benefits.
This beheading of level 18 is to let the worshipers see clearly my ambition. If I want to completely eliminate the Tubo people, I have many ways. There is a more terrifying weapon in a cave in the Qinling Mountains, and it is more effective.
The fact that I just locked the demon in a dark cave and refused to use it shows that I am respectful to God and just want God to favor me for a few more years in the Tang Dynasty."
Changsun sighed and put Li Er's head on his lap and said pitifully: "A person's energy is limited after all. Even if you have eight hundred pairs of eyes, you can't see it.
What's more, you have so many talents under your command: Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Li Ji, my brother. These old foxes are enough for you to worry about. The next generation of little foxes have also grown up. Chengqian Qingque, Li
Ke, Yun Ye's eldest son Sun Chong, Cheng Chumo, Niu Jianhu Ma Zhou, Liu Renyuan, and Wang Xuance who clamored to pacify Tubo, each one is more cunning than the other, and each one has more thoughts than the other.
These people are the harbinger of the coming prosperous times for the country. Talents from the country appear one after another. I should have put on court clothes and brought all the concubines to congratulate you. This is my duty as a queen, but as a queen
Your wife, I really don’t want you to waste your time dealing with these people.
Not to mention that others are just Yun Ye and their life span will be shortened if they interact with him too much. I just took some beads from his family yesterday, and you just wasted a meal from his family. This morning, his restaurant specially treated His Majesty.
The banquet table ordered yesterday was covered with a veil, with a few words written on it: "This is the delicacy ordered by His Majesty." I heard that people who wanted to queue up for such a banquet had already queued up until the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The pearl shop didn't let me go either. On the door of the shop was written on silk cloth the words "The Queen also loves the pearls here". So the women in the pearl shop rushed to buy pearls, which was most annoying.
What's strange is that the pearl shop actually took the opportunity to increase the price by 30%, and I estimate that the eight moonlight chains were also earned back by his family."
Just as Li Er was about to sit up and lose his temper, Zhang Sun kissed him on the forehead and his anger dissipated.
"Forget it, what do you say? You ordered the food and wine on the table, and I also took the beads, so our couple can only suffer the loss of being dumb. These are trivial matters. In fact, what I am most worried about is that one day the inner palace will
The money will exceed the national treasury. I think that the royal family can no longer hold the bank in its hands. Although the bank is now under the name of the Ministry of Accounts, the real people running the bank are the internal government. This is a very inappropriate thing.
I checked the accounts of Yuezhou Bank last night. The amount is very shocking. The bank has grown up from an infant. Your Majesty, it is time for you to find a suitable place for him. I can no longer control the bank.
Now, some people have proposed using cheap pieces of paper instead of gold, silver and copper to become coins, concubine! If you make a mistake, it will lead to a catastrophic disaster. "!
"What did Yun Ye say?" Li Er couldn't help but sit up after hearing Chang Sun's words.
"I once asked Yun Ye on the Great Emperor. Yun Ye's face turned pale at that time, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing, and he said some words that I couldn't understand. Finally, Yun Ye turned to me with red eyes.
Said: "Anyone who dares to mention printing paper coins again will be killed!"
Li Er closed his eyes and thought for a while and said slowly: "Compared to others, I trust Yun Ye's judgment more. The bank was originally created by him, the prince, and Ke'er, so if there is one person in the world who knows the pros and cons of the bank the best,
The person should be Yun Ye. After returning to Chang'an, we need to have a good talk with him about the bank's affairs. I'm just worried that the bank's development is too fast and has exceeded his scope of knowledge."
The couple was speechless, sighing in unison, and the pavilion seemed even more quiet.
Yun Ye was picked up by a luxurious carriage as a guest, and the person treating him was Xue Wanche. By the time Yun Ye arrived at Xue Wanche's residence in Yuezhou, Xu Jingzong was already half drunk, half lying and half lying on the brocade couch to take the exam.
The knowledge of Xue Wanche’s eldest son.
"Confucius said: "To restrain oneself and return to propriety is benevolence. If one restrains oneself and returns to propriety, the world will return to benevolence. Benevolence is up to oneself, but it is up to others?" Yan Yuan said, "May I ask about its purpose." Confucius said, "Don't look at anything that is not propriety.
Don’t listen to anything that’s inappropriate, don’t say anything that’s inappropriate, and don’t do anything that’s inappropriate.
Xu Yan asked Xue Zihuai what he meant by this. "
Although Xue Wanche's eldest son is as majestic as his father, his features are delicate. He is composing words and sentences with his head lowered, intending to think carefully before answering. It is obvious that he has two personalities with his father, one is impetuous and the other is calm. What Xue Wanche hates most in his life
He was just chewing words, but he held his breath for a while and looked at his son intently, with a nervous expression on his face. He didn't even notice that the grape wine in the wine glass had spilled onto the brocade.
Xue Wanche's eldest son finally finished the manuscript and said: "This sentence comes from the twelfth chapter of Yan Hui in The Analects of Confucius. Yan Yuan asked how to be benevolent. Confucius said: "Restrain yourself and do everything according to the requirements of etiquette.
, this is benevolence. Once you do this, everything in the world will be benevolent. The practice of benevolence depends entirely on yourself, does it also depend on others?" Yan Yuan said: "May I ask about the conditions for practicing benevolence." Confucius said: "It doesn't fit.
Don’t look at what is in line with etiquette, don’t listen to what is in line with etiquette, don’t say anything that is in line with etiquette, and don’t do anything that is in line with etiquette.”
Yun Ye stood outside the door until Xue Zihuai finished answering, then clapped his hands and walked in with a smile: "Brother Yanzu is so elegant today, why did he think of taking the exam for school Zihuai's knowledge? This child has always been diligent, and he did not live a wealthy life.
And if you change your ambitions, such a self-disciplined child will definitely be a promising person in the future."
Xue Wanche laughed and stood up to greet the guests, followed closely by a delicate woman. Seeing Xue Wanche's satisfied look, he knew that this woman had satisfied all his desires for women.
"Brother Yun is here late. You can't escape the penalty wine. Come on, drink the penalty wine first, and then drink the welcome wine." The woman bowed down and thanked Yun Ye.
With the virtue of a helping hand, a full cup of mourning wine was poured, and Xue Zihuai knelt down to offer the wine: "Uncle Yun's great kindness and virtue, Xue Zihuai will never forget it, please drink!"
"It's a trivial matter, why bother with the child?" Yun Ye pretended to be angry, but took the wine glass from Xue Zihuai's hand, drank it down, stroked the top of his head and said, "You just answered Mr. Yanzu's question.
It’s not perfect, listen: "Self-denial and restoration of propriety are benevolence." This is Confucius’s main explanation of what benevolence is. Confucius uses etiquette to define benevolence, and acting according to etiquette is the fundamental requirement of benevolence. Therefore, etiquette is based on benevolence.
Maintain it with benevolence. Benevolence is internal and etiquette is external. Only when the two are closely combined can we call it benevolence.
You have to remember that reading does not require you to understand this sentence one-sidedly, but to experience it with your heart and use your own language to explain its meaning. In fact, this is learning, and it is not profound.
It seems that Brother Yanzu intends to accept you as his disciple. Why don't you seize such a good opportunity? When you see a famous teacher like Mr. Yanzu, you will bow to him whenever you get the chance. Even three points is too much. You have a calm temperament and make decisions before taking action.
It won’t help you take advantage at any time. People are fickle. If you have an opportunity, you must seize it. God will not give you too many opportunities in your life. If you seize it, it can change your life. "
When Xue Zihuai heard Yun Ye's words, he stood up and knelt down in front of Xu Jingzong's couch, kowtowing repeatedly, each sound ringing loudly.
The woman saw blood stains on Xue Zihuai's forehead and tried to protect her son out of habit, but Xue Wanche held her tightly. The iron-blooded man said to the woman with tears: "This is the fate of the child. Don't do it."
