Situ Pan asked Jia Cong to meet at a temple. Jia Cong mentioned the coming of democracy in future generations. Naturally, Situ Pan couldn't understand a few words. The two of them had bypassed the Zhaotang of the Dharma Hall and walked to the front courtyard of the Luohan Hall. They met by chance.
A few young people jumped forward and ran forward. Situ Pan frowned slightly: "What kind of custom is the Buddhist pure land?"
Jia Cong said: "They probably went to see the flowers and had no intention of worshiping Buddha."
Situ Pan glanced at him coldly: "What do you love most about playing tricks with the majesty of the heavenly family?"
Jia Cong cried out: "Where is the show? Aren't they all true? Are those imperial edicts false? Didn't the late emperor play child's play with the country? Wasn't the urn jar dug out from the underground prison of Shu two years ago made by the late emperor himself?
?You can’t blame others. Your Majesty, what I do is really unethical. It would be fine for him to pass the throne to Prince Yi Zhong, you or the second and sixth sons."
Situ Pan raised his feet and crossed the threshold of Luohan Hall, and asked casually: "How did you open the box?"
"My sister Lin has seen that Yu Shanzi. She is very smart and can never forget anything."
Situ Pan froze for a moment and stood in front of the threshold in a daze. After a long while, he walked in and sighed: "She is really a strange woman. She has the style of a mother who cares about the world. Concubine Hui is very discerning."
"No." Jia Cong immediately said, "Lin Daiyu can never be a princess, and Concubine Hui has no vision. Sister Lin later commented that she was 'unfeeling' and asked her husband to take a scoop of water alone. Concubine Hui was
He just took a fancy to Uncle Lin and her appearance, but not her talent and learning." He suddenly thought of another person and said with a smile, "When it comes to governing the country, the prince is a master; when it comes to knowing people and making good use of them, the prince is serious.
Not as good as me. Lin Daiyu is a prime minister, so you definitely don't dare to give her a chance."
Situ Pan said: "A woman has been fooled by military advisors. What else do you want to do?"
Jia Cong spread his hands: "But this woman is really talented, but you don't dare to use her because of her gender. If the prince goes to Taiwan in the future, he can meet our Minister of Commerce. She is also a woman, and she was also under the prince earlier.
She did it before, she and my third sister started apec. Brother Feng said that he didn’t know until he went to Taiwan Mansion that this woman had been a slave to her talents.”
Situ Pan suddenly became angry: "That traitor Feng Ziying! Treat him badly..."
Jia Cong made a stop gesture: "Stop! You treat him badly. Isn't he doing a good job? Are you sorry for his salary? He didn't sell himself to you. You just paid him to do the work. You
If his son wants to cut him in half in the city, what else can he do?"
Just as Situ Pan was about to refute, he suddenly remembered what Jia Cong had just said about the laws of future generations. It was obvious that he had no loyalty to the emperor and his ministers in his heart. He also recalled that in the earlier years, he seemed to have compared the courtiers and the monarch to the clerks and bosses, and he was shocked.
After a long time, he said: "Concubine Hui has noticed it a long time ago...but she is so proud of her talent."
Jia Cong said: "After all, people are emotional animals and cannot do everything rationally. When I was a child, Concubine Hui, Liu Dengxi and others did not want to kill me. On the one hand, they were too cautious, fearing that I had some background, and on the other hand, they had real power back then.
They are all in the hands of the late emperor, and they dare not touch the old ministers. Looking back, if it were Prince Yizhong, King Shu, or brother Xian Wang, you would not have had the courage. This is the disadvantage of the inheritance of the throne: there is no guarantee that every generation of emperors
Even though they are all wise kings, there is no guarantee that every wise king will avoid being old and foolish and be sage to the end, nor can we guarantee that every wise king will not make big mistakes."
Situ Pan glanced at him: "Can you?"
Jia Cong said: "I will definitely retire before I am sixty years old and let my daughter take over."
Situ Pan sneered: "You want to pass the throne to your daughter? Do you think our dynasty is Western?"
"Lin Daiyu, the female prime minister, is obviously respected. She has reduced taxes and eliminated corvee for ordinary people, raised salaries for soldiers and officials, and will build many infrastructure projects that will benefit the country and the people in the future. The prince of Shu is also preparing to pass the throne to his eldest daughter. He
That illegitimate child really can’t hold up the wall. The whole country loves Java’s cocoa tea, and Java is also the heroine.” Jia Cong spread his hands and said, “The most important thing is the development and industrialization of overseas colonies. The colonies are so big, and the male labor force after immigration
It’s not enough. Only with a female protagonist and female appearance can we attract women to work from home. Industrialization has allowed advanced machines to replace backward tools. Many things do not require so much effort, and women can do them well. There is also a detailed division of labor in society.
Hua...Oh, you are still the same, I really can't understand."
Although Situ Pan didn't understand everything, he had a rough idea of what it meant. He said, "I am in favor of her removing the agricultural tax exemption. It's not like I haven't thought about it... I know it can't be done just by thinking about it." He shook his head.
, but Lin Hai's daughter has already done it. "It is naive to exempt the corvee. Without the corvee, many things will not be done."
Jia Cong said: "Pay someone to do it."
Situ Pan chuckled and said: "With more troops and more labor, do you really think that the Yan State can receive so much tax? Where does the money come from? To attract merchants to visit the Forbidden City?"
"Of course there are more." Jia Cong said, "I can at least save money on the harem. The palace has to support eunuchs and maids, seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, as well as the queen mother, the concubine, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager.
Concubine, how much does it cost? There are also things for daily use. I remember that the Ming Dynasty spent millions of taels on the palace every year, not counting the cost of building new royal gardens and imperial mausoleums."
Situ Pan was stunned for a long time and then said: "Three years that the third brother Gu Na was in the palace, he also received one hundred thousand taels of silver every year."
Jia Cong said "Ah": "Isn't he desperately poor? Where does he get the money?"
Situ Pan said calmly: "The late emperor was accustomed to eating the same amount of food. Anyway, he closed his eyes and died, and did not care about the rest of the matter."
Jia Cong shrugged: "I have said before that the late emperor was the one who destroyed the Situ family." He added, "Anyway, these 100,000 yuan a year can be saved to do many things, such as hiring people to build bridges, build roads, control water, and install clear oil."
Street lamps. In addition, there used to be a lot of money to supply the Lords and their families. Now the titles are empty plaques and the court does not give money. The money saved is really enough to increase the salaries of officials. The money to increase military pay, honestly
It is said that tourism to the Forbidden City alone is enough. I have seen the ones from the Yan Kingdom, and the Wu Kingdom, and the rich people from the Wu Kingdom, and the Shu Kingdom. Anyway, this business really will not be short of customers. Land taxes,
Once taxes are collected from large families, this will definitely increase. There is also commercial tax, which is the big one. Once industry and market economy develop, commercial tax will be huge. I will not build imperial mausoleums. You see,
If you calculate it piece by piece, you really won’t be short of money.”
Situ Pan looked at him in surprise for a long time: "Do you really not want a harem?"
Jia Cong was also surprised: "I have already found the woman I like most, why should I have a harem? The Jia family does not lack my incense. Besides, my wife is very skilled in martial arts, and she will kill me if I cheat on her."
Situ Pan didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long moment, he shook his head and said, "You really are not a person."
Jia Cong said sternly: "I don't want to be the master, and I can't. I'm just a guide. Prince, this can also avoid seizing the legitimate sons! You see, your family has been seizing the legitimate sons for several generations, and Prince Shan Yizhong's lineage is
How many heirs have died? Wasn't your eldest son also assigned to the third son? If it weren't for Mr. Luo Man's eloquent words, he would have killed all Situ Yue's family. And it was Mr. Luo Man's arrangement that prevented their whole family from dying of illness on the ship.
.”
Situ Pan hurriedly asked: "Where is Yue'er and his family at Gan Lei's place?"
"No," Jia Cong said, "Let the pirates hijack the ship and send it to Java in Southeast Asia. Otherwise, it would have sunk to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and fed to the sharks."
Situ Pan blurted out: "Roman is a loyal and good man. I didn't misjudge him."
"Pfft!" Jia Cong laughed, "Wrong! Roman is here to take revenge on you, but he does not bear his grudge against your son."
Situ Pan's expression suddenly changed, he banged the wall and sighed again: "This person is Gu Luo's misunderstanding." He pointed at him for a long time, his fingers were trembling, "He is actually yours too! No wonder Gu Luo is today.
field."
"He is not mine in the first place." Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "You really believe that there are people who are so stupid and loyal? He doesn't seek fame or fortune, he doesn't seek women, he doesn't seek career, he doesn't seek anything.
Don't beg, if there is no other purpose, why should Baba work for you? Even the actor who works for you is looking forward to getting rid of his music career and living a good life in the future. By the way, who came up with the idea?
That actor took advantage of the total solar eclipse to pretend to be evil and talk nonsense on the stage? None of his fans can compare to Liu Aiyun. Your lord, the people can let it go, but they can't know it. The people can let it go, but they can't know it.
.The former will definitely not be able to defeat the latter. Superstition cannot defeat science."
Situ Pan said: "There are so many stupid people, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to suppress them?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Therefore, before education is completely universal, this country still needs an emperor to lead the way to prevent the people from falling into anarchy."
Situ Pan suddenly realized that he had nothing to say. He raised his eyes and looked at the five hundred Arhats lined up in front of the hall. The five hundred Arhats had different expressions, which were quite similar to the various worldly expressions. Jia Cong sighed softly: "For thousands of years, there are always some
Things remain unchanged, just like these Arhats. There are also many things that are changing all the time. I firmly believe that science changes productivity, and productivity changes the world."
After a long while, Situ Pan said: "I have been with Zhan Kun for ten years."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "He has the final say."
Situ Pan looked at him: "Are you really not afraid that the lonely king will come back?"
Jia Cong spread his hands: "What do you always use to make a comeback? Why do others support you? As the old saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world; or it goes like this, he who wins the hearts of the army wins the world. Can you give more to the soldiers and the people than me? You raise the backyard every year
How much silver? It must be tens of thousands."
Situ Pan thought for a while: "A hundred thousand." Jia Cong faked a smile. Situ Pan felt inexplicably annoyed, rolled up his sleeves and left. Jia Cong followed behind.
After that, they were silent. The two walked quickly through the temple, and the fragrance hit them - not far away was the plum forest. Situ Pan suddenly asked: "How did Lin Hai's daughter get out of here?"
Jia Cong said honestly: "Dai Quan hinted at the location of her map. That old man just wants to make trouble for you and has no other intentions." Situ Pan shook his head.
Turning around a side hall, you can see the plum trees spread out in front of you like Qiongyu Yaolin. There are many tourists here, and students are the most numerous. It is very lively. There is also a photo booth set up by Zhenzhen Photo Studio next to it.
, the two photographers were very busy. Jia Cong smiled and asked, "Would you like to take a photo with me, Your Majesty?"
Before Situ Pan could answer, he saw a girl in a goose-yellow coat running over excitedly: "Uncle Jia!"
When Jia Cong saw it, it was Liu Mingyue, and he smiled and said, "Come to play?"
"Yes." Liu Mingyue nodded and said, "The plum blossoms have been blooming well these days. Today is the school holiday, so we came for a walk. Mainly to take pictures." She looked at Situ Pan.
Jia Cong pointed out: "This is Mr. Huang."
Liu Mingyue shouted obediently: "Hello, Mr. Huang."
She was pretty, and Situ Pan couldn't help but like her. He nodded and said, "Hello."
Liu Mingyue approached Jia Cong and whispered: "That son of King Yan has never come to see me again, haha!"
Jia Cong unconsciously glanced at Situ Pan: "What did I say? I won't let you be captured by him, right?"
Liu Mingyue shouted with a smile: "I know Uncle Jia means what he says!" He waved his hand and turned around and ran away.
Jia Cong breathed out: "Your son wanted to take this girl as his concubine, but she didn't want to. So he ran to the school gate and screamed."
"With such an appearance, no wonder he likes her." Situ Pan said, "Who is she?"
"The orphan...oh, her father was found later. This girl likes chemistry, maybe she can become a chemist in the future. Even if she can't have a family, she is smart, and she can become a chemical engineer." Jia Cong said,
"She is more than just beautiful. She can be of greater use." Situ Pan snorted. Jia Cong tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Forget it, I don't want to keep showing off anymore. Your Majesty, the Minister of Commerce of Taiwan I mentioned earlier,
That’s Sangu Qin.”
Situ Pan was shocked: "What! Didn't she go to Australia with Huo Sheng?"
"No, she was coaxed into staying in the country by her husband." Jia Cong said innocently, "I really didn't dig this corner! She was not happy when she heard that you sent her to Huo Sheng's place. Her status is so embarrassing.
! Later, she found out that you just sent her out of Beijing for a while for the sake of Princess Yan..."
Situ Pan said solemnly: "How did she know?"
"Her husband told her." Jia Cong said, "Since you want to marry this woman, you must first let her be free, right?" Nai spread his hands and said, "If the prince had found a good husband for her early, it would not be the turn of the current one.
You haven’t thought about this, have you?”
Situ Pan said: "She is Huo Xuan's concubine. I have to take into account the face of the Nan'an Palace."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "You Situ family have long wanted to deal with the Huo family, and you have wronged your important subordinates for the sake of the Huo family's face. Qin Sangu is your pocketbook, so it seems like it is natural for you to take such a big contribution? Is it fair to ask for justice?
Human nature. My lord, you really did not lose unjustly."
Situ Pan frowned and said: "With her status, she is already very powerful after leaving Nan'an Prince's Mansion..." He suddenly shut up. According to what Jia Cong said, it is obvious that Qin Sangu is not someone who can be easily satisfied.
Jia Cong turned to the other side of his mouth: "Repaying the kindness of a drop of water with a spring of water is from the perspective of the person who receives the kindness, and it is all voluntary. You always stand from the perspective of the benefactor, requiring all your capable subordinates to dedicate everything to the Lord.
I don’t want anything in return... I’m not sure which one is more naive, you or Sister Lin.”
But just at this moment, Liu Mingyue ran over again, pulling Jia Cong and saying, "Uncle Jia, would you like to take a photo with our classmates?"
"Okay!" Jia Cong straightened his clothes and walked forward with a smile.
