The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 438
Chapter 438
The voices in the room became less and less, perhaps because the people of the aristocratic family were really at a loss for words, they didn't know how to continue to praise, and they were more concerned about the issue of woolen sweaters.

In the end, the whole room fell silent, and the people from several aristocratic families looked at each other, waiting for each other to speak...

Bai Jingyi smiled faintly, and then said, "Heh! I'm afraid you have other goals today! You just say it's okay!"

A group of people glanced at each other in embarrassment. After all, they praised each other for a long time, but Bai Jingyi saw through it at a glance...

In the end, it was Wang Chen who bowed to Bai Jingyi and said, "When I go back to the King of Beiliang, I just think this sweater is so amazing, but it's really too cheap!"

"That's right! I'm afraid this ordinary piece of clothing costs more than fifty cash! What's more, such a miraculous woolen sweater!"

"Even if this woolen sweater costs [-] Wen a piece, it's still not too expensive! The people in Chang'an City must be able to afford it!"

Li Er next door turned black when he heard this, and he couldn't help cursing these aristocratic people in his heart, saying: "I'm so angry, these moths of the Tang Dynasty only care about their own interests, and don't care about it at all. The life and death of the people of my Tang Dynasty!"

"Even if it costs fifty yuan for a woolen sweater, some common people may not be able to afford it. People from these aristocratic families are still thinking of raising the price!"

However, Bai Jingyi waved his hand indifferently and said, "This king created this woolen sweater to benefit the people of Tang Dynasty, so that people of Tang Dynasty can spend this winter safely!"

"Only when the people of our Tang Dynasty live, can our Tang Dynasty live a more stable and prosperous life!"

When they heard this, the people of the aristocratic family paused, and they didn't know how to respond.

Wang Chen clasped his hands to Bai Jingyi and said, "The king of Beiliang's heart for the country and the people is worthy of admiration! But even so, it can't save the people of our Tang Dynasty at all!"

Bai Jingyi asked with some doubts: "Oh!? How did you see that!?"

Hearing Bai Jingyi's doubts, the members of the aristocratic family exchanged glances with each other, and they all showed smug smiles, thinking that they had a role to play in front of Bai Jingyi.

Wang Chen bowed directly to Bai Jingyi and said, "The king of Beiliang doesn't know something. Every year, the Tang Dynasty froze to death, and countless people died of starvation! The number of people that the court knows is probably only one or two out of ten." !"

"That's right! For those lost population, or those who were robbed and killed by bandits, in order to reduce trouble, the local governments have counted them into the frozen population!"

"So, most of what the imperial court knows are those who died of unknown causes or disappeared. As for the people who actually died of freezing, no one knows how many people there are!"

When he heard this, Bai Jingyi was slightly taken aback, and Li Er who was next door was also taken aback.Then he couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly, thinking in his heart: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

"We must not let these moths continue to run rampant! Otherwise, how will the people of the world treat me!?"

At this time, Bai Jingyi said slowly: "I don't think so! All the refugees in the world are sent to Liangzhou, even the beggars on the street are sent to Liangzhou. Why do some people freeze to death, starve to death?" Dead man!"

"Even if the people are poor, they won't starve to death at home!?"

People from aristocratic families think that Bai Jingyi is young and doesn't know the dangers of the world. At the same time, they feel that Bai Jingyi must have scruples, otherwise, they would not be so firm in their thinking.

Before Bai Jingyi could continue to ask, Minister Lu clasped his hands to Bai Jingyi and said, "Could it be that the King of Beiliang is unwilling to lower the price of the woolen sweater because he took into account the promise he made in the court?" Improve?"

Bai Jingyi just wanted to defend, but his eyes turned away.He felt that Lu's minister should have something to say.I'm afraid there are still things I don't know.

Immediately, he said lightly, "What do you mean by that!?"

Li Er is also a little puzzled, is there something else he doesn't know! ?

The minister of the Lu family clasped his hands to Bai Jingyi proudly and said, "If you go back to the King of Beiliang, how many people are there in this Great Tang!?"

"The king of Beiliang doesn't need to spend all his time and energy for these people!"

"What's more, people die every day in the Tang Dynasty, and no one knows how they died. No one will bother to check!"

"As long as the King of Beiliang agrees to increase the price of woolen sweaters, we will naturally have a way so that there will be no news of death in Datang!"

As soon as the words fell, Bai Jingyi's eyes gradually showed killing intent.He even thought in his heart: "These moths really deserve to be killed!"

"Officials and officials protect each other and search for the people's fat and people's anointing. They even harm the people and falsely report their political achievements!"

Soon, Bai Jingyi concealed his murderous intent, after all the aristocratic family was deeply rooted in the Tang Dynasty.Even if they were killed today, someone would still take their place.

It will be even more difficult to control at that time, it is better to be able to control them in the palm of your hand now, and use them to do things for yourself!

As for dealing with these aristocratic families, it can only be done slowly, not to mention, there are so many corrupt officials in the world, it is impossible to kill them all.

As long as I can make the people live a prosperous life and not be invaded by foreign races, I have a clear conscience, even if there are still many poverty in later generations, let alone in this ancient times where dynasties change frequently!
Only when he thought of this did Bai Jingyi calm down. As long as he was alive and the people of Liangzhou were safe and sound, he would have no regrets in this life. As for the follow-up, let time...

Therefore, Bai Jingyi deliberately pretended to know nothing and asked: "How can we ensure that no one dies!? Even this king will have to go through all kinds of troubles and rack his brains!"

When the members of several aristocratic families heard this, they all smiled at the same time, and then cupped their hands at Bai Jingyi and said, "Nowadays, most of the officials in this court are from my aristocratic family!"

"Furthermore, my five surnames and Qiwang are united in the same spirit, and I have always been consistent with the outside world. Even if those ministers are not from my aristocratic family, they must be inextricably related to us!"

"At that time, the three provinces and the six ministries will all speak with the same caliber. With this woolen sweater, the people of the Tang Dynasty have passed this winter safely. If someone freezes to death, the state and county governments only need to report that they were robbed and killed by bandits! "

"At that time, the imperial court will definitely send heavy troops to suppress the bandits, and will not even check whether the dead are wearing woolen sweaters!"

Bai Jingyi still looked at the moths in front of him with a half-smile, but Li Er next door had already been furious, and even wanted to throw things...
