Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 69 Xiao Shui Yiyi
And a moment later, in the attic, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras rose loudly.

"Junhou, drink tea." Shao Yao poured out a cup of jasmine tea at this moment, and handed it over.

Su Zhao came back to his senses, took the teacup, just held it in his hand, but had no time to drink it, his eyes were fixed, his face was gloomy.

This is a dance different from that of Liu Qingyu just now. Liu Qingyu's dance seemed to be a palace boudoir before, but he used enchanting dance postures to attract people's desires with all kinds of charms of women. Even later, Su Zhaoqi The blood was ups and downs, and he was slightly startled to show respect.

But in front of my eyes there is only a kind of beauty, ethereal, and no lust. Sometimes I see the flowers blooming in the empty mountain, and the tired birds return to the forest, and suddenly I see the misty rain, and the building is locked...

The girl's waist is so full that she can't grasp it, she jumps between her toes and her palms, and she grows lotuses every step of the way. Her eyebrows are dignified and sad, and sometimes she frowns slightly, full of autumn water, giving people a feeling of pity.

In fact, it's just under Su Zijin's willow-leaf slender eyebrows, a pair of bright autumn water eyes, accompanied by music and dance.

"Xiaoshui is surrounded by smoke and waves, and lovesickness oozes snow between the eyebrows."

Such verses flashed in Su Zhao's mind, and a moment later, a feeling of disappointment arose from nowhere in his heart, and after a moment, he forcibly dispelled it, frowning tightly, feeling that there was no reason for it.

After a while, just as the music stopped, Su Zijin also stopped dancing, jumped off the Weixiang singer, wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and said with a slight smile: "Compared to the flat ground, it's a little bit different. different."

clap clap...

Wei Xiangge clapped his palms and said with a light smile, "Sister Zijin, it's an eye-opener for a dance."

"This, you can't see it from below." Su Zijin joked softly.

"Have you forgotten that the fairy family has its own magic method?" Wei Xiangge smiled, and turned to look at Su Zhao who was smiling and silent with his bright eyes, "How is it compared to that Laoshi's womb Que Qiuyue just now?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Zijin also threw a cut of moving autumn water over.

"But you want to win?"

"Just a chip?"

Su Zhao was speechless for a while, and said slowly: "Singing and dancing slowly, condensing silk and bamboo, the king will never see enough."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Wei Xiangge frowned and said with a smile.

Su Zijin smiled, walked forward, took the teacup from Shao Yao, and said softly: "Today is not going to happen, I'm sweating and sticky, I have to go back to take a bath."

Su Zhao smiled lightly, but didn't say anything.

And in the far distance of the attic, a young woman named Liu Qingyu, who was named Huaxin, listened to the melody that came through the beaded curtain above the distant pavilion, her eyes flickered, and she thought, "It's really worthwhile to come to this country of Su. Woolen cloth."

Shaking his head, he walked quickly into the bleak night outside.

……

……

The next day, the morning light fell on the glazed tiles of the palace, reflecting the majestic and majestic Zhongyuan Palace beautifully. Under the eaves, the black-clothed soldiers stood holding their halberds with a solemn expression.

And as the sound of three clean whips sounded, on the white marble square, the ministers of Wen and Wu of the State of Su, who were waiting in line, held ivory jade wats, and under the guidance of the officials, they stepped over the threshold and filed into the hall.

"The minister waited to see the prince."

Old or deep voices converged into mountains and tsunami, echoing in the empty and quiet Zhongyuan Hall, and then the tranquility was restored again, only the clear water used for timekeeping fell on the jade plate, making a crisp sound like broken jade .

Su Zhao was sitting on the throne in the palace, his face was silent, his eyes were gazing at the kneeling officials below, the young prince was dressed in a crown, his eyes were stern and sharp, and his clear voice was full of gold and clang. "You are in peace."

"Thank you Junhou."

Su Guogongqing's voice rang out in unison.

At this moment, the court meeting of the public and ministers gathered the six officials and the deputy officials above the doctor. As for the seven prefectures and the county magistrates of 53 counties, they were on the outside side of the hall. .

Different from the court meeting in the film and television drama, it was originally for discussing business, so there was nothing to start, and the opening speech of leaving the court without incident, just sounded with the crisp sound of the golden pot hitting the jade chime.

The eunuch ordered You Jiang to stand at the foot of the jade steps with a whisk in his hand, and with a sharp voice, he said loudly: "Your Majesty has an order, and with the Taizai's second opinion, today is the regular court. The consultation matters are as follows: The second is the planning and evaluation of the county, the second is the structure of the Shangshutai and the Privy Council, the third is the preparation for the establishment of the Yushitai and the selection of the Secretary of Fengxian, and the fourth is the preparation of the Hongwen Museum and the Xuanweisi..."

Judging from the attitude of Jing Hongdao yesterday, Su Zhao was not sure whether he would play non-violent non-cooperation, so he directly changed his mind and first delineated the matter to be discussed.

"Let's talk about the first item first. Counties and counties are in the middle of the year. Meng Gong is the head of the local officials, and he is in charge of wealth and expenditure. Now the situation in each county and county can be explained to you." Su Zhao's cold and indifferent voice sounded.

Situ Meng Jichang took the lead, with a trace of respect on his old face, he said loudly: "My lord, since this year, there have been frequent disasters and bandits. Among the seven counties, except for the three counties in the south, everything is as usual. Up and down, all the counties were affected to varying degrees. Among them, Dang County was busy arresting bandits, so it was only in the middle and lower this year. The two counties of Yanling and Changshui were only in the middle. The tax has been exempted at discretion, which is not included in the review."

Su Zhao's eyes moved slightly. The three southern counties are actually the riches of the Su country, with developed culture and education, and prosperous commerce and trade. They are a bit similar to the ancient Chinese dynasty and the status of the three southeastern provinces.

Because it is a fertile land, it is often coveted by Zheng Guo.

Except for the three counties, the other four counties are relatively poor. When the years are good, they have financial surpluses. When the years are bad, they can only be slightly self-sufficient, and may need central... transfer payments.

Therefore, the land of the seven counties seems vast, but the real tax land is only the three southern counties.

At this moment, the seven county guards were below, waiting for Su Zhao to inquire, not even daring to breathe.

This is not only the fact that after Yuan Bin, who was in power for a while, was eradicated, Su Zhao's prestige gradually became more influential, and it was also the discipline of monarchs and ministers established by the Su Yi family for dozens of generations. The respect of the monarch has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Masters, the situation of the country is difficult." Su Zhao sighed with emotion, and his desire for innovation became more and more determined, because the situation was so dangerous that even if it was written, it was impossible to explain it. In fact, in the previous life, his younger brother Su Ming was the last generation of the Su State. king.

Su Zhao asked: "What was the expenditure in the first half of last year, and what was the surplus?"

Situ Meng Jichang took out a thick book from his sleeve, flipped through it, and recited the money and food handed over by the counties to Wenyi, and finally concluded: "It is mainly the officials' salaries, which are allocated to the Sima Mansion and the Sikong Mansion. Military and political supplies, engineering construction..."

In the end, Situ Meng Jichang raised his head and glanced at Su Zhao's gradually dignified expression, and made a conclusion, saying, "It's good enough to make ends meet."

Su Zhao frowned, thinking it wasn't too embarrassing, at least he didn't have to live without money and had a financial deficit.
