Gu Qingci

When she said that, I was not convinced.

"I'm not cannon fodder, I'm amazing!"

"I can see that you are amazing, otherwise I wouldn't have helped you back then, heck."

I haven't seen the emperor for many days, and I miss her a little.That day, he quarreled with Minister of the Ministry of Industry and servants because of the minting of coins, and the empress finally forbade them to say a word after they went out.Now Shang Shu is imprisoned, and the servant is pulled out to serve as a gunman. Only I lie peacefully in the mansion, and the big storms outside have no impact on my Xiaoyang Mansion.While enjoying herself at ease, she felt that she could not help her share some pressure.However, I, the number one scholar of the common people, have relatives thousands of miles away and have no background in the country. The only one who can speak up is Yan Xi, who is at the same level.Lian Yanxi is also a lady from a famous family.It looks like I really can't help her.

If you take me out, I will only be stabbed into a hornet's nest by those impatient big families.After all, there is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime.

So, now she is protecting me.Thinking of this layer, I can't help but arouse some waves in my heart.I want to grow up quickly, become her sharpest sword, and help her eradicate all threats, instead of being tightly protected by her.Still haggard with Shaoguang, it's unbearable.

In a flash, another month has passed, and the weather is hot.I could barely sit up, and was helped into a small chair by the servants to breathe fresh air.The leaves of the trees outside are much thicker, and the color is not as light as in spring.The lotus buds in the pond are already tipping, waiting to bloom.The lotus leaves are fragrant with the fragrance of Han, and the east wind is jubilant among the green waves.The sun is very good today, warm but not dazzling. I look at the blue sky and feel very happy.

But the bliss didn't last long.

When I was basking in the sun and drowsy, the housekeeper reported that the court servant had arrived.It was the provincial servant under the door.

Then I saw the servant girl leading the servant coming over, and behind him followed the black soldiers.

"Scholar Yang, I am here to collect the coins from your house by order." He saluted me honestly.I haven't seen you for more than a month, and I seem to be a lot haggard.That's right, if his attendant took the lead in confiscating the coins in Beijing, the officials and family members would have to gnash their teeth, and they must have suffered a lot recently.The waiter tried his best to restrain his expression, but I still saw a trace of panic on his face.The waiter looked like this, and he didn't have the arrogance of the previous quarrel in front of the imperial court.The speculation in his heart was confirmed. He must have a handle in the hands of the emperor, so he was pinched like this.

"You can go to the money bank and do your own thing. I am not in good health to entertain you, so please don't take offense." He said to him imitating the official accent in the officialdom.

In just one month, all the big and small doors in Rongcheng have been closed down, and today they finally received my home.I just don’t know how the prefectures and small counties outside of Kyoto are like, so I dare not ask rashly. I can still vividly remember his vicious look when he quarreled with me last time.Besides, I don't trust him.

After another half a day, the soldiers came over with a box filled with copper coins. They quickly counted it in front of me, and then the waiter took out a document and wrote the amount on it, and gave me a stack of banknotes.

A three-inch piece of white paper feels thick to the touch. The left side is covered with many anti-counterfeiting marks, and on the top there are three big characters in flying and phoenix dance: Copper Coins.

"Master Yang, the new copper coins haven't been minted yet. If you want to use them, you should use them first. The market recognizes them now."

"Thank you, servant." I lay on the chair very comfortably, "Who wrote the words on it?"

The waiter didn't seem to expect me to ask this, so he replied politely: "This is the eldest princess's handwriting. Only officials of the fourth rank and above in the imperial court and relatives of the emperor can use it. The copper coins used by the commoner are written by the great scholars of the Imperial Academy."

I nodded, he didn't bother me anymore, and led the people away in a hurry.

Sure enough, the emperor ordered according to the draft I drew up. These measures were written by me early in the morning.Now it seems that it is indeed convenient, as long as those big families can be suppressed, the recasting will be able to bear fruit.

It's a pity that I don't know what kind of price it will cost to suppress those people.

This period of time has been too boring and boring, and I don't know why time passes so slowly.When Cicada started singing from the tree, I was finally able to lift the hole flute with both hands.Blowjob is probably my only skill besides reading.Playing the flute horizontally and playing the flute vertically, the sound of the flute is too clear, but the sound of the flute is deeper and more pleasant, so I didn't learn the flute.

After the song was over, I heard footsteps coming from far to near. Yan Xi, who had been away for a long time, finally came to see me at the house.

"Yang Li, I never thought you could play the xiao." She sighed, "I heard the sound of the xiao from a long distance away, and I was wondering who could play it so well, but it turned out to be you?"

"Why can't I play nicely? You are so bad. It took me so long to come here. I was so bored that I went crazy."

"Are you playing "Bijian Liuquan"?" She ignored my complaint.

Yes, it is "Bijian Liuquan".The lotus moves off the fishing boat, and I am alone entertaining myself with the lotus flowers in the courtyard.I haven't been in contact with outsiders for a long time, I can't do anything, and I can't see the emperor, so I feel very worried.Only the flowers in the pond and the sound of the flute can relieve my growing anxiety.

"I know you're suffering, have you been able to go to the ground recently? The medical officer said, as long as you can walk normally, you can go back to work in another seven days."

"Yan Xi, I want to ask how the folk coins are being collected."

"It's useless for you to ask me," he sighed, "the cabinet is indeed summarizing this matter. However, everyone is in charge of the notification of a state and county. Except for the state under their own control, only the queen and the eldest princess know the overall situation. According to me I know that many people died because of this." She pouted depressingly.

"How could this be?"

"The Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was imprisoned before, has been ransacked and beheaded. A large amount of official money was found from his house. It is really appalling. Killing him is also to make an example to others. No one in Rongcheng dares to take any action now."

"The emperor's feet can still be stable. In those places where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, how much and how to pay the copper coins is not a matter for the local county magistrate. I don't know what to do."

After listening to her, I was even more depressed.This is not my original intention.The recasting of copper coins was originally intended to save the common people from rising prices and the suffering of the people, but now it seems that there is no difference.

"Don't be sad, it's inevitable to reform these things, it doesn't matter whether you do it or someone else does it. Let me tell you some good news, the emperor ordered you to return to the palace as soon as possible to take up duty."

"Really?" She can still think of me, hehe.

"Look at your stupid appearance, there is no hope." She helped me walk around my house at will. "I'm also unlucky. I'll pass on the emperor's oral instructions, but because of the couplet incident last time, I've become a sounding board for the two of you." She said mercilessly.When passing by the West Wing, Yan Xi probed his head and saw a painting hanging on the wall, he lost his mind for a moment.

"Hey, who hung these paintings?" She tugged on my sleeve.

"Well, are you interested in this? Yes, it's too eye-catching to hang so many...my sister got it from somewhere."

"Your sister, what's her name?" Yan Xi's eyes flashed, and he spoke much faster.

"Yangzhi."

"Where is she now?"

"Why are you so curious about her?" I raised my vigilance.

"Of course it's because...the whole wall is covered with paintings, which shows good taste! So I want to get to know this girl." Yan Xi was not ashamed, and the anger in his heart was bubbling up—so you are Yang Li My little sister, it doesn't take much effort to find nowhere to go through iron shoes, the crazy woman can be counted as I caught you!

No matter how I looked at her, I felt that her expression was very abnormal. In order to avoid causing trouble, I told the truth directly: "Xiaozhi went back to her hometown to see her master. I don't know when she will come back. Anyway, you won't see her for a while."

Okay, no wonder you haven't seen anyone for months after molesting me!Yan Xi gritted his teeth and gave me a very creepy smile.

After another seven days, looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally put on a brand-new court dress, and went to the palace in high spirits.

The curtain was lowered, and everyone entered the cabinet, everyone looked in a hurry, each doing his own thing, and no one had time to talk to me.No wonder Yan Xi didn't come for so many days.

The most prestigious person in the cabinet, Mr. Zhang Yi, held a stack of documents and put them on my desk: "Scholar Yang, this is the state and county information that His Majesty ordered you to take care of, and it's all here. You haven't come for a long time, and the task is more important. Your Majesty will give you a few days of grace, and finish it as soon as possible."

Looking at the documents piled up into three mountains on the table, he couldn't help swallowing and nodded.

After tidying up at the desk, I opened the front page of the top stack of documents, and there were three big characters written on the top: Jiangnan County.

The emperor actually asked me to sort out the confiscation situation in this state?As we all know, Jiangnan County is the richest state and county besides Wang Ji. Rich businessmen and tycoons gather in groups, and their business forces are intertwined. The complexity is even more complicated than that of Beijing.Received such a difficult task on the first day of reinstatement, I sighed in resignation.

Who let the emperor know that I am smart.If you really can't solve it, just ask the emperor for advice with the cheek, and keep comforting yourself.It has been three months since the coins were confiscated. I was lying at home leisurely during the most difficult period in the early stage. Now I can’t justify being lazy.

This arrangement is when the lights are bright again.

"Yang Lu, are you still leaving?" Yan Xi stood by my table and knocked on it.

She raised her head suddenly, only to find that all the cabinet officials had left, only Yan Xi was left, and her things were also packed, as if she was about to leave.I was a little dizzy because I didn't eat, but I still shook my head: "I can't go now, I haven't figured out a lot of things."

"But you didn't eat lunch today, so you can't also eat dinner."

"I'm a little hungry, can you help me go to the small kitchen and order steamed buns, just a pad."

"Yes, yes, but, is it possible that you won't go back today?"

I directly admitted: "If you don't clear these things up, I won't go back, and it's okay to stay here for one night." Anyway, there are soft couches and toiletries in the side hall of the cabinet, which were originally used just in case.
