girl, you're wrong

Chapter 299 My Kongming
When Yu Zhongshu hurried into the hall, the Empress Dowager Yu Wenjun was tutoring the young emperor Sima Shigen in politics.

"...What was the purpose of the first few emperors to implement the tax reform? This involves the dominance relationship between the central government and the local government. Since the tax revenue must come from the local government, the aristocratic family was extremely powerful before the clothes and crowns went to the south. As a result, the taxes paid by the local states and counties to the central government were blocked. Seriously withholding, Taicheng once couldn’t even pay officials’ salaries, and was forced to use wholesale grain and oil to offset their salaries.”

"The governor and the prefect who have good friends with the local family can drink liquor and eat steak every day, so there was a folk saying at that time, 'It is better to be a local prefect than to be the imperial court'. Officials would rather be released than stay in Beijing."

Yu Yuangui quietly walked to the side, the young emperor raised his head in a panic, and his mother knocked him on the forehead immediately:
"What are you looking around for? Does your uncle have flowers on his face? Now answer me, what is the purpose of tax reform?"

"The reform of... the tax-sharing system is to strengthen the central government's control over the localities." Sima Shigen replied in a muffled voice, "Punishment of people, wealth and military is the foundation of an emperor. You cannot rely on manpower."

"That's right." Yu Wenjun's expression was a little slow, and he made a fist gesture, "Let the local tax be paid to the central government first, and then the central government will make a secondary distribution, so as to strengthen the monarchy and Taicheng's control over the local area. In addition, clothing After the south crossing, this tax-sharing system is also beneficial to border towns to raise troops."

"Then..." Sima Shigenchi questioned, "Since the border town is supported by the central government, why is there still a rebellion?"

Yu Yuangui's face changed, but Yu Wenjun was solemn when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice:

"Rebellion? Who told you?"

"Mom." Sima Shigen said with a pale face, "Don't lie to me, I know that the frontier army is brewing a rebellion, it's Su Zigao's refugee army, right?"

Yu Yuangui turned his head quickly, his eyes sharp.Behind the pillar, Yu Shuyu, the commander of Jin Yiwei, has already turned around in a hurry, ready to thoroughly investigate the attendants around the emperor, and find out the traitor who was gossiping.

Then Master Zhongshu explained lightly:
"Your Majesty, it's true that the frontier army is supported by the imperial court, but Su Zigao's refugee army is not included in the frontier army. At present, there are only four field frontier troops in the established system, Shenwu, Longxiang, Xiaoqi, and Feixiong, and the refugee army is not included. in."

"In the past, when you crossed the south in clothes and clothes, the mountains and rivers were broken, and there were almost no troops at hand. The central government had to allow Su Zigao to station in the north of the river and allow him autonomy to accommodate refugees and prevent demons from crossing the river south. So strictly speaking, the refugee army can only It can be regarded as a militia organization, and its strength is not on the table."

After Yu Yuangui's concise introduction, Sima Shigen was even more confused.Since the imperial court has the four armies of Shenwu, Longxiang, Xiaoqi, and Feixiong, why did they rely on Su Zigao to form a refugee army?
Of course, if the eldest princess of Nankang was here, she would tell her younger brother cryptically, "Because the control of the four field armies was not actually in the hands of the emperor at that time."

And Yu Zhongshu would definitely not say that, because once the little emperor learned the historical truth, he would immediately feel jealous and hostile towards the Taiyuan Wang family.Now that the enemy is in Liyang, Jiangbei, if they are separated from the Taiyuan Wang family, it will really be impossible to continue the game.

So he narrowed his eyes majestically, and the little emperor didn't dare to ask any more immediately, and made a cute gesture with Yu Wenjun:
"Mom, let's continue to talk about the knowledge points of tax reform."

Yu Wenjun nodded and looked at his elder brother.

"I'm here to find Nankang." Yu Yuangui asked, "Is she in the apse?"

"Just came back." Yu Wenjun replied.

"Okay." Yu Yuangui walked towards the apse.

Princess Nankang was in the royal study at this time, looking at the surrounding furnishings with a sad expression.

When grandfather Sima Jingwen was still in power, the crown prince's father often stayed in the imperial study room, reading to her all kinds of story books and novels on the bookcase, such as talented scholars and beautiful ladies, generals and princesses... During that time, she was simply The happiest time in my childhood, what I look forward to most every day is to go to the imperial study and listen to my father telling stories.

Later, when his grandfather passed away, his father succeeded to the throne, and from the day his spine was connected to the data cable of the throne, he became gloomy and reticent.Even Queen Yu Wenjun couldn't come within ten meters of him.

Wife, children... From that day on, it seemed as if they all disappeared from his world.The whole world seems to have become a criss-cross chessboard, and anyone is either a "piece for achieving the goal" or a "piece that needs to be removed in advance", that's all.

To this father, Princess Nankang was first close, then hostile, but now only a touch of melancholy and sadness remained.

In the end, her father's resolute act of destroying the server made her feel... maybe her father still retained a piece of humanity before he died.

"Nankang?" Yu Yuangui's voice came from behind.

"Uncle." Princess Nankang turned around.

"I want to talk to the chief of the Cheng clan." Yu Yuangui said in a deep voice.

………………

"Yu Zhongshu wants to talk to me?" Cheng Jinyang asked in surprise.

"Hmm." Princess Nankang was optimistic.

After all, my uncle had a bad impression of Cheng Jinyang before, so it would be best if we could take this opportunity to get to know each other and eliminate our prejudices.

"At that time, I will also speak good words for you, so don't worry." She smiled charmingly, and hugged Cheng Jinyang from the side, trying to stimulate his masculinity with charm.

Cheng Jinyang has always been unable to resist the charm of the princess sister, after all, her sister's capital is too strong.It was a little embarrassing that what was stimulated was not the spirit.

"Okay." He quickly nodded and agreed, for fear that the princess sister would find out that something was wrong.

"Okay!" The princess sister was even happier, so she hugged him and kissed him.

It's a pity that it gnawed on the face.

Back in the room, Cheng Jinyang found Miss Wang and told her about the matter.

"Yu Zhongshu." Wang Wanrou was reading a book without raising her head, "Go, Jinyang."

Um?Why does it feel like a Pokemon?
Hearing that Miss Wang gave such a quick answer without even thinking about it, Cheng Jinyang asked suspiciously:
"Wait, Wanrou, you don't have any suggestions for me? Please help me think about it, after all, it's Zhongshuling! Big man! Is there any conspiracy to ask me to go..."

"What kind of conspiracy?" Wang Wanrou snorted through her nose and asked back with a sneer.

"I just asked you because I didn't know there was any conspiracy!"

"What do you think of me? Your master?"

"Wanrou, you are my Kong Ming!"

"Get off!" Wang Wanrou showed an impatient look, and said after a while, "How can Yu Zhongshu make things difficult for you? Use your poor brain to think about it, isn't he afraid of your steel giant soldiers?"

Cheng Jinyang was right when he thought about it.Although the girls all know it, but outsiders don't know the trigger conditions of the Iron Giant Soldier, so don't they take it as my trump card?How could it be so easy to force me to my death...

Wait, Yu Zhongshu is looking for me this time, maybe he wants me to drive the Iron Giant God Soldiers to help him fight Su Zigao's refugee army!
