Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 197 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 had hoped to find a wife with equal status, will return to the state of pushing a maid.

Chen Xi was drinking tea with his head down and holding a teacup. He finally understood why the beef was so delicious today. Liu Bei was not entertaining his own group of guys. It seems that Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang have been forgotten, and female patriarchs also have the advantages of being female patriarchs. Although it is not very good to be a sexist, it also depends on the target. Obviously Liu Bei is a good target.

As a result, Jia Xu took the lead and came in. Seeing this scene, she wanted to avoid it, but she had no choice but to dodge it. She coughed twice and walked in calmly. Everyone was cheeky and didn't care, so they were embarrassed, and they sat in their respective seats. As for Mrs. Zhang, after Jia Xu and his party arrived, she got up and returned a salute, and then went down to the inner courtyard under the leadership of the maid, where Madam Gan, the only concubine whose name had been rectified, would receive her. Zhang.

In other words, this kind of practice is not in line with etiquette, but Liu Bei has no wife, so he can only let Gan go, anyway, it is just a reception, after all, at Liu Bei's level, the position of wife is very much considered.

In fact, if it wasn’t for Cai Yong’s work, it’s really hard to say. Cai Yan, whose fiancé is dead now, is the best candidate for a wife. Regardless of fame, background, or blood, they are all very suitable. It’s a pity that with Cai Yong’s trouble, Liu Bei There is no good way, Cai Yan's identity is destined not to be a concubine, so Liu Bei can only look at the sky speechlessly.

Looking back, Mrs. Zhang actually fits the status of a regular wife. If the two really met each other, Chen Xi would have nothing to do. Just like when Liu Bei married Wu Yuan in history, Wu Yuan also married. But I still became a queen, and Zhen Mi married Cao Pi in the same way. In the Han Dynasty, those things were not paid attention to. As long as your identity, status, and reputation match, remarriage is not a problem.

After all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his mother, Wang Zhi, married someone before marrying Emperor Jing and gave birth to a daughter, then divorced King Sun of Jin, and then married Emperor Jing and gave birth to Emperor Wu of Han. Both parties are happy, and they are in the same family, so someone will naturally match you.

That is to say, all the conditions of Zhang's meeting with Liu Bei now meet the requirements. Maybe the two of them will get together and there will be nothing to say. But, there is nothing wrong with dominance...

Turn around and continue talking about the group of Cai Yan, Zhang Shi, Mi Zhen, and Zhen Mi. To be honest, except for Mi Zhen, the group of people in this group can be small, and the others are either you don’t marry, or they are regular wives, it’s as simple as that.

Mi Zhen can indeed be small, but look at how Mi Zhu works so hard to make money and save up a dowry for his sister. If you want to make his sister small, go ahead and dream. She was still the main wife when she was young, so if you want Mi Zhen to be a junior, unless you are a XX king-level figure, you can just 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 status, like Chen Xi, if you are a single noble son, those women above will have a lot of money if you propose marriage. Maybe it can be won, but now, with Fanjian, don't even think about it, other aristocratic families can't afford to lose that person!
It is precisely because of this that Chen Xi's eyes on Cai Yan and Mi Zhen are purely admiring, without any other things mixed in, so Mi Zhu is very reassuring about Chen Xi. Sometimes Mi Zhen slips into Chen Xi's house, and Mi Zhu is not worried about Chen Xi's animal nature at all. Dafa eats up Mi Zhen.

After eating and drinking as usual, after drinking and eating, Chen Xi finally stood up, "Mr. Xuande, Xi has something to ask."

After Chen Xi spoke, the other people present seemed to have received a unified signal and all stopped their chopsticks, and Liu Bei also quietly arranged the chopsticks on the plate and sat up straight. It can be seen that etiquette education still has a certain effect .

"Zi Chuan, please open your mouth if you have something to do, and please check and make up for any mistakes." Liu Bei didn't know what was going on, but he didn't have any dissatisfaction. He still maintained his due demeanor, nodded and said.

"Xi often sees in the history books that because of the emperor's love of luxury, the treasury was empty and the people were displaced. It is very strange." Chen Xi said with a distressed face.

"It's Bei's fault this time." Liu Bei couldn't understand other words, but he had something on his mind, so he naturally understood what Chen Xi was talking about.

"Well, I don't think it's the emperor's problem that the treasury is empty because of his love for luxury, and it's not the emperor's problem if he doesn't have money to relieve disasters. After all, the country has spent money to support such a group of officials and failed to govern the world well. How much can the emperor spend?" Chen Xi turned his head and glanced around. Asked everyone present.

"May I ask Mr. Xuande, how much tax revenue can be spent as a king?" Chen Xi's question was very strange, and he didn't mean to blame Liu Bei for today's incident at all.

"One percent of the national tax is more spent on other places." Liu Bei hesitated for a while, thinking of living utensils and entertainment very luxuriously, and then dreamed of building luxurious mansions one after another, but the spending It's not too much, one percent is more than enough.

"Where did the remaining ninety-nine percent go? This is the original sin that caused the country to fall into chaos. The emperor can't spend too much at all. The so-called sexual luxury is just a joke. How luxurious can it be?" Chen Xi sneered Said, "To put it bluntly, Duke Xuande wants to build the most gorgeous mansion in the world. Not only can I make some money without spending money, so luxury is not wrong, and spending money is not too much of a problem. Incompetence is the root of everything."

"The higher-ups always want everyone to live a better life. This can be said to be what the emperor, the Sangong and Jiuqing have been doing. They are either for the stability of the country or for the prosperity of the family, but they have always been committed to stabilizing the world. "Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei and said, he needs to let Liu Bei understand something, although the world can't tell right from wrong.

"The ambition of the careerist is not born with it, but is squeezed out bit by bit by the situation of the world. Everyone is at fault. The chaos in the world is definitely everyone's fault. We should not stare at the future. Human mistake, there are some things that you obviously don’t want to do, but you have to do them at that point, Mr. Xuande, do you understand what I’m talking about?” Chen Xi laughed while looking at Liu Bei who was bewildered.

Nodding, and then shaking his head, Chen Xi turned around and looked at the others. He knew that Jia Xu and Li You must have understood, Guo Jia also knew it clearly, Liu Ye's expression was obviously overthinking, Lu Su might Some want to refute, but Man Chong looks a little dissatisfied, there are all kinds of people, everyone is different.

"Mr. Xuande doesn't need to understand it thoroughly. You only need to have an impression, and you will understand it after a long time. However, as you said just now, the amount of national tax revenue is enough for the emperor to spend." Chen Xi said casually, then scratched his ears Prove that you didn't hear me 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 to spend, please also take this as a lesson. We will give Mr. Xuande as much as the tax revenue in the area we rule. Please also ask Mr. Xuande Forgive me, Lord De, and at the same time, please ask Lord Xuande to find more capable ministers and sages, the wider your rule, the richer the people, the more your salary will be." Chen Xi bowed and asked.
