The Reborn General's Wife

"Brother, why didn't you tell me when you came back early?" Chen Yang asked before he could stand still.

In the past, Chen Cheng would definitely catch Chen Yang and scold him.Now, he just motioned Chen Yang to sit down with his eyes, and then slowly told him what happened on the road.

When Chen Yang saw that Chen Cheng had finished the overview of the sea war in a few words, he glanced at Chen Cheng thoughtfully, and felt that the person opposite him had changed.

Before Chen Yang could figure out what changed in Chen Cheng, he heard him say: "I saw a scene in the capital where people don't pick up things on the road, and I think that no matter how poor the people in other places are, it's not that bad." Chen Cheng couldn't help but say. With a deep sigh, he said, "On the way from Chongzhou to Shuofang City, I often met children as old as Su Yu who went to work in the fields with their parents. Later, I sent someone to inquire and found out that many people's grain harvested every season was barely enough. Strong enough to eat." Not enough to eat.

"Brother, sister-in-law has abolished the poll tax a long time ago. Besides, we have a vast territory, and it is normal for some places to be barren." Chen Yang saw the self-blame on Chen Cheng's face, and said, "If you are really worried about the poor The common people will starve to death, at worst, the miscellaneous taxes over there will be reduced and exempted, and when their lives are better, it will be the same as elsewhere.”

"What you think is simple." Su Ju came out from the inner room, and said lightly: "Once the news of tax exemption is released, merchants who are good at drilling and wealthy families will definitely go to enclose land."

"That's right." With Su Ju's reminder, Chen Yang thought of the greed of the human heart, and after thinking about it for a while, Chen Yang didn't think of any other way.So I said: "How about implementing it on a small scale?"

"That's fine, but only relying on the reduction and exemption of miscellaneous taxes can only treat the symptoms and not solve the root cause." Su Ju shook his head, pondered for a while, looked at Chen Cheng and said, "What if we move some wealthy merchants to poor places? ?”

"Absolutely not!" Chen Cheng said hastily, "Such a method can easily cause riots in merchants."

"So, I will leave everything to you." Su Jue smiled and leaned on Chen Cheng's shoulder, biting his face without any scruples.

Chen Cheng rubbed his wet cheeks, glared at the person next to his ear angrily, and said, "According to your tossing around, the national treasury will become a display!"

"Chen Cheng, think about yourself before you speak!" Su Ju nodded Chen Cheng's head, raised his head and said to Chen Yang, "You come to judge, it's because I spent a lot of money, or your elder brother is just wasting money. "

"Brother!" As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, he noticed that Chen Cheng was looking at him, so he said, "Let's not mention the Chengbu in the northeast and the Xiangbu in the southwest, but let's just say that this time the Chongzhou navy marched to the sea in the east. How much money will be spent, brother, have you calculated it?"

"It's useless to go back and forth for 20 days, how much more can I spend." Chen Cheng waved his hand indifferently.

Chen Yang saw that he seemed to have expected it, and then he said: "The army is going out, and the necessary things such as pots and stoves are skipped for the time being. After the war, the repair of weapons, the maintenance of warships, the expenditure on armor during wartime, etc. According to incomplete statistics, a [-]-strong army consumes at least a hundred gold per day."

"So many!?" Chen Cheng exclaimed in disbelief.

"Otherwise." Chen Yang rolled his eyes and asked, "After the war, have you seen your sister-in-law's dowry?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Cheng turned to Su Ju in puzzlement, and asked, "Ah Ju, your dowry?"

"As soon as the war started, I used it to exchange weapons and food." Su Jue laughed speechlessly when he saw that the annoyance on Chen Cheng's face became more and more obvious.He pinched Chen Cheng's nose and said, "I didn't ask you to pay, so why play with face?"

"Ah Ju, I found that I don't know anything except fighting." Thinking about it carefully, he never seemed to worry about the soldiers' food when he was fighting.

"You can also manage the army." The wild roads that are scattered in the sand can be completely consolidated by him, and Su Yu thinks that he, who has lived a new life, does not have the ability.

Not wanting to make Chen Cheng think too much, Su Ju simply sat on his lap.

When Chen Cheng saw that Su Ju was not being honest while sitting, he hurriedly put his arms around him, how could he concentrate on thinking about his previous "mistakes".

Then, Su Jue asked Chen Yang, "Is Qian Yaozu easy to use?"

"A bit disobedient, and I can't figure out whether he's fake or really stupid." Thinking of Qian Jiupin's proficiency in common affairs, he couldn't believe that his EQ was zero.

Su Jue heard Chen Yang say that recently Qian Yaozu would take part in anyone who didn't like him. After pondering for a while, he asked: "After the memorial was rejected by you, is there anyone he will participate in the memorial again?"

"Of course not!" Chen Yang didn't think about it, and said directly: "He knows it's useless to play again, so how could he still be stupid."

"I think you are stupid!" Chen Cheng pursed his lips and said, "Did you reject Qian Yaozu's first report when he entered the court?"

"This?" Chen Yang thought for a while before he said, "At that time, I sent back the memorial twice to show off to the ministers."

"Then why did he continue playing?" Chen Cheng stared at Chen Yang with burning eyes.

"He knew that I would definitely attack those ministers who harbored evil intentions." Chen Yang said.

"He knows?" Chen Cheng asked back.

"Yes!" He knew, so he played continuously. Now, Chen Yang's eyes widened at the thought, and he yelled strangely: "Grandma, a ninth-rank sesame official has the courage to test the master!"

"Chen Yang, how old are you?" Chen Cheng frowned slightly when he heard the vulgarity in his language, and said, "Don't worry about Qian Yaozu, although he is a sharp sword, he will never hurt you. but…."

"Just what?" Chen Yang asked eagerly.

"This sword can only be used after it has been forged, and it depends on how you use it." Chen Cheng looked meaningfully at his brother opposite.

"Brother, I got it." Chen Yang's head turned quickly, and Chen Cheng reminded him a little bit, and Chen Yang knew that the most important thing now was to hold Qian Yaozu in his hands and make him a paper kite in his hands.

Just as Chen Cheng wanted to tell Chen Yang a few more words, he saw that Chen Fan had brought his family over. The three brothers hadn't seen each other for several years, so Chen Cheng stopped talking nonsense. When Chen Yang's wife and children came over, the meals were placed in the Qingliang Hall On the main hall.

At the dinner table, the three families did not adhere to the rule of eating without talking. Chen Cheng and his two younger brothers chatted casually about the family affairs, while Su Yu sat beside him silently to serve Su Yu with food.

It is said that because Chen Fan and Chen Yang's children are too young, and they don't have Su Yu's heart, they can only be taken by the maid and the nanny.Therefore, when Deng Jia was looking to see if his children were making trouble, and accidentally saw the exceptionally harmonious family of three on the opposite side, he was no longer shocked at the beginning.

Feeling Deng Jia's sizing up, Su Ju didn't even raise his head.He was afraid that once he opened his mouth, the two sisters-in-law would get up to answer in fear.

Seeing Su Ju fiddling with the dishes with chopsticks, Chen Cheng said, "Ah Ju, go to bed when you're full, shall we have another drink?"

"Understood!" Su Ju heard Chen Cheng's inquiry, and besides, he had nothing to say to Deng Jia and the others, and he couldn't say to Deng Jia, "Hurry up and go, let's have a private chat with Chen Fan!" So , picked up the child who was holding on to the rim of the bowl, and said, "Son, let's go."

"Father, I'm here to accompany Daddy." Chen Fan hasn't heard enough about the outside world.

"Go back to the Proclamation Room with your father." Chen Cheng said with staring eyes.

"Daddy..." Seeing that he disagreed, Su Yu pouted her small mouth, and moved her big round eyes to Chen Fan beggingly.

"Brother, if the child wants to stay, let him stay here." Chen Fan pointed at his son with a smile, and said, "Let them brothers play together."

Chen Cheng didn't know why Su Yu wanted to stay, but he never thought about playing with real children.Reaching out to snatch the bowl from Su Yu's hand, he scolded: "You are everywhere!"

"Father, you are bad!" Su Yu turned around and hugged Su Ju's neck, tilted his head and said, "Royal Father, make an order tomorrow that you divorce Daddy and find me a good one."

"Baby, are you ready to be beaten?" Su Yu took the cloak handed over by the maid, wrapped Su Yu up, and said, "If I put you down, your father's big hand has already slapped your ass .”

"Royal father, I just want to hear stories." Su Yu said coquettishly to Su Yu, "Royal father, you lived in Shuofang City, so have you ever seen a red-haired monster with white skin and blue eyes?"

"Who said this?" Su Ju sat in the soft sedan, and slapped Su Yu lightly on the head, "That's because of the different races, so we look different from us."

"Like, like the high-nosed, deep-eyed exotic beauty sent to my uncle last year?" Su Yu asked, eyes still flickering.

Seeing that he was so mischievous, Su Ju felt amused in his heart, and said, "That beautiful father is still being kept for you."

"Father, the beauty is for daddy." Seeing that she was turned into a general, Su Yu frowned, and said, "I heard from the little eunuch that the beauty can give birth to a little sister for me, Father, right? "

"Baby, your daddy didn't beat you up, you want to make it up with your father, don't you?" Su Jue went to take off the child's pants while talking.

Seeing that he was serious, Su Yu turned over, rolled to the innermost part of the bed, and said softly: "Father, the baby is joking with you, how can you take it seriously?"

"It was a wrong decision to take you out!" Seeing the dark joy on the child's face, Su Yu covered his forehead and reflected, why did he think that Su Yu was a skinny child four months ago.

"Father, I will help you look after Daddy in the future, will you spare me this time?" Su Yu felt that he had talked about this, and today would pass safely.

Unexpectedly, Su Ju opened his eyes and said angrily, "Get over here!"

Su Yu quickly rolled to Su Ju's side, closed her eyes, and waited for the slap.However, after a while, Su Yu felt the comfort of warm water, and opened his eyes in doubt: "Father, are we taking a bath?"

"You really think I'm going to beat you up." Su Yu turned to Su Yu disdainfully.

"Hey, father..." Su Yu licked his face and hung on Su Ju's body, seeing Chen Cheng striding in, shouted: "Daddy, come and take a bath!"

"Speak well!" Chen Cheng touched the goosebumps on his body, walked up to Su Ju and sat down.

"Why so fast?" Shouldn't they be talking about Tianming by the candle night.

"Chen Fan's sons and daughters are not familiar with the environment here, and it was a bit noisy, so he accompanied Deng Jia back to the room." Chen Cheng said, throwing the bare-bottomed child on Su Yu aside, and then asked the maid to come in to bathe Su Yu .

"Daddy..." Su Yu jumped a few times in the water before being rescued by the maid who came after him.Now Su Yu quit, "You want to murder?!" Pointing at Chen Cheng angrily.

"Murder?" Chen Cheng snorted, "Are you looking for a conspiracy to kill you?"

"..." Chen Cheng's blatant contempt managed not to suffocate the child to death.Seeing that he picked up Su Ju who was unresponsive and left, Su Yu asked belatedly, "Is Daddy jealous?"

Naturally, the maid did not dare to discuss the rights and wrongs of the master, and only left the room full of air to be silent with the children.
