Chapter 193 This is what you said, please take this as a lesson!
What Chen Xi and others are doing now is to intervene and break up the communication between Zhang and Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei, who originally hoped to find a wife of equal status, returns to the state of pushing maids.
Chen Xi was drinking tea with his head lowered and a teacup in hand. He finally understood why the beef was so delicious today. Liu Bei was not entertaining a group of guys like himself. When Jia Xu and his party came in, Liu Bei was flirting with Zhang.
It seems that Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang have been forgotten. A female head of the family also has the benefits of a female head of the family. Although it is not a good idea to deal with people in Israel, it depends on the person. It is obvious that Liu Bei is a good person.
In the end, Jia Xu took the lead and came in. When he saw this scene, he had no choice but to avoid it. He coughed twice and walked in indifferently. Everyone was shameless and didn't care, so they were embarrassed for a while and sat down on their own.
She sat down and ate and drank with Liu Bei calmly. As for Zhang, after Jia Xu and his entourage arrived, she stood up and returned the greeting, and then was led by the maid to the inner courtyard, where Mrs. Gan, the only concubine with a correct name, would receive her.
Zhang family.
It is said that originally this approach was not in line with etiquette, but since Liu Bei didn't have a wife, he had no choice but to let Gan take the position. Anyway, it was just to receive him. After all, at Liu Bei's level, there were many things to consider in the position of head wife.
In fact, if it weren't for Cai Yong's work, it would be hard to tell. Cai Yan, whose fiancé is now dead, is the best candidate for the main wife. Regardless of reputation, origin, or bloodline, she is very suitable. Unfortunately, with Cai Yong's trouble, Liu Bei
There was no good solution. Cai Yan's identity was destined not to be a concubine, so Liu Bei could only look at the sky speechlessly.
Looking back, Zhang actually fits the status of a head wife. If the two really fall in love, Chen Xi has nothing to do. Just like when Liu Bei married Wu Yuan in history, Wu Yuan also married her again.
But she still became a queen, and in the same way, Zhen Mi married Cao Pi. In the Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as that. As long as your identity, status, and reputation are consistent, remarrying is not a problem.
After all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his mother Wang Quan were married before marrying Emperor Jing and gave birth to a daughter. Then she divorced Jin Wangsun, and then married Emperor Jing and gave birth to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The emperor did this, so naturally it was nothing. As long as
If both parties are happy and are well-matched, there will naturally be someone to match you.
In other words, all the conditions for Zhang to face Liu Bei now meet the requirements. If the two of them really come together, there will be nothing to talk about. Although this seriously undermines the theorem of Cao Wei’s Good Guy
But, there’s nothing wrong with the hegemony...
Let's turn back and continue talking about Cai Yan, Zhang, Mi Zhen, and Zhen Mi. To be honest, except for Mi Zhen, you can be the younger one. For the others, either you don't marry them or they become the official wives. It's as simple as that.
Mi Zhen can indeed be a child, but you see Mi Zhu working so hard to make money and save a dowry for his sister. If you want his sister to be a child, just go ahead and dream. In the last life, Liu Bei became a Xuzhou shepherd, but marrying Mi Zhen
When she was married, she was still the head wife, so if you want Mi Zhen to be a junior, unless you are a XX King-level person, you just have to think about it.
But then again, if you reach the level of princes and kings, it seems that the group of people above can be small...
In short, in this era, it is really difficult for you to attract the attention of this group of people. Unless you are unmarried and have a high enough status, like Chen Xi, if you are a single noble man, the women above will have considerable influence if you propose marriage.
Maybe he can win, but now, with Fan Jian, don't even think about it, other aristocratic families can't afford to lose that person!
Because of this, the way Chen Xi looks at Cai Yan and Mi Zhen is purely for appreciation and not mixed with anything else, so Mi Zhu is very relieved about Chen Xi. Sometimes Mi Zhen sneaks into Chen Xi's house, and Mi Zhu is not worried about Chen Xi's bestiality at all.
Dafa ate Mi Zhen.
After eating and drinking as usual, Chen Xi finally stood up and said, "Mr. Xuande, Xi has a favor to ask."
After Chen Xi spoke, everyone else present seemed to have received a unified signal and all stopped using their chopsticks. Liu Bei also quietly straightened his chopsticks and placed them flat on the plate, and sat up straight. It can be seen that etiquette education still has a certain effect.
.
"Zichuan, if you have something to say, please speak up. If there are any mistakes, please check and fill them in." Liu Bei didn't know what happened, but he didn't have any dissatisfaction. He still maintained his proper demeanor and nodded.
"Xi often sees in history books that an emperor's love for luxury caused the treasury to be empty and the people to be displaced. I feel very strange." Chen Xi said distressedly.
"It's Bei's fault this time." Liu Bei couldn't understand what he was saying, but he had something on his mind, so he naturally understood what Chen Xi was saying.
"Well, I think it's not the emperor's problem that the treasury is empty because of his love for luxury. It's not the emperor's problem that he has no money for disaster relief. After all, the country spends money to support such a group of officials who fail to govern the world. How much can the emperor spend?" Chen Xi turned around and glanced.
asked everyone present.
"May I ask Mr. Xuande, how much of the world's tax revenue can you spend as a king?" Chen Xi's question was very strange, and he did not mean to blame Liu Bei for what happened today.
"One percent of the national tax, most of it is spent on other places." Liu Bei hesitated, thinking about living utensils and entertainment as very luxurious, and then fantasized about building luxurious mansions, but the cost
It's not too much, one percent is more than enough.
"Where did the remaining 99% go? This is the original sin that plunged the country into chaos, right? The emperor couldn't spend too much. The so-called sexual luxury is just a joke. How much more luxurious can it be?" Chen Xi sneered.
Said, "To put it bluntly, Mr. Xuande wants to build the most gorgeous house in the world. Not only can I not spend any money, but I can also make some money. So luxury is not wrong, and spending money is not a big problem. Officials
Incompetence is the root of everything."
"The top management always wants everyone to live a better life. This can be said to be what the emperor, the three princes and the nine ministers have been doing. They are either for the stability of the country or the prosperity of the family, but they have always been committed to stabilizing the world.
"Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei and said, he needed to let Liu Bei understand something, although the world cannot be said to be right or wrong.
"The ambition of careerists is not innate, but is squeezed out bit by bit by the world's situation. Everyone is at fault. The chaos in the world is definitely everyone's fault, just like massacre and being massacred.
"Both sides must have problems. We shouldn't focus on the mistakes of our predecessors. There are some things we don't want to do, but when we get to that point, we have to do them. Mr. Xuande, do you understand what I'm saying?" Chen Xi looked at a group of people.
Liu Bei, who looked confused, smiled.
Nodding, then shaking his head, Chen Xi turned around and looked at the other people. He knew that Jia Xu and Li You must have understood. Guo Jia also knew it clearly. Liu Ye's expression was obviously that he was overthinking, and Lu Su might
Some people want to refute, but Man Chong looks a little dissatisfied. There are all kinds of people, and everyone is different.
"You don't need to understand it completely, Mr. Xuande. You just need to have an impression. You will understand it naturally over time. But you just said that the amount of national tax revenue is enough for the emperor's expenses." Chen Xi said casually, and then scratched his ears.
Prove that you didn’t hear clearly just now.
"One percent should be enough for the emperor's expenses." Liu Bei repeated, and Jia Xu and Li You couldn't help but look at each other.
"Since Mr. Xuande said that one percent of the national tax revenue is enough for the emperor's expenses, I would like to ask Mr. Xuande to take this as a lesson. We will give Mr. Xuande as much salary as the tax revenue in the area we rule. Please also ask Mr. Xuande to take this as a lesson."
Duke De understands, and at the same time, I also ask Duke Xuande to find more capable ministers and wise men. The wider your rule, the richer the people, and the more your salary will be." Chen Xi bowed and said.
