In September of the 13th year of Zhaoxuan, the imperial court issued a decree restricting those who owned more than [-] mu of land from doing business.

The benefits from doing business are naturally much higher than those from farming, but once the decree came out, many big landlords were cut off from the business license, and could only do business in the name of others secretly, not to mention losing a lot of profits in the process, and were discovered by the court. They will also be punished, and many big landlords complain.

The common people, however, praised this restriction. Firstly, it prevented big households and small people from competing for benefits. Second, many landless people ran to the cities to do small businesses. The big landlords had to lower the land rent to retain farmers. To prevent the fields from being barren and uncultivated.

It was not until the summer of Zhaoxuan's 15th year that the land redemption, which had lasted for more than three years, finally entered the implementation stage.

Han You perfected Xia Siyan's plan, and communicated with several powerful landlords in advance, asking them to create momentum for the New Deal.

In September of this year, the largest landowners in Shanzhou, Wuzhou, and Yuzhou went to Beijing to meet with the Minister of Household Affairs to openly negotiate the price of land redemption.This was the first public dialogue between the people and the imperial court in the history of Zhao Kingdom, which caused a sensation in the whole Zhao Kingdom, even the old woman selling vegetables on the street was talking about it.

After several rounds of see-sawing, the big landlords and Han You finalized a price that everyone was satisfied with, and signed a document to sell the land to the imperial court on the spot.Only Han You knew that this price was set by Xia Siyan three years ago. He just used some tricks to make the landlords think that the price was obtained from the court through negotiations.

In October, the new land policy was fully implemented.

Xia Siyan decreed that if the land is voluntarily sold within one year, regardless of the size of the land, the imperial court can buy it back at the price negotiated by the big landlord. After one year, the price will gradually decrease until the redemption stops completely.

This more or less created a sense of urgency for other landlords. By the summer of the second year, the imperial court had recovered more than [-]% of the land.

At the same time, the Ministry of Officials issued a decree, stipulating that the amount of land recovered would be an important indicator directly linked to the achievements of local officials.The better the redemption is done, the better their year-end assessment will be.

As a result, local officials were unwilling to continue to help the local gentry conceal the land, but asked them to include the concealed land in the redemption.The problem of land concealment that has accumulated for many years has also surfaced.

In order to avoid those old accounts that concealed the land tax in the past from affecting the land redemption, Xia Siyan made a decisive decision and ordered to re-establish the land file from May 16. As long as the land is reported truthfully, the past taxes and taxes will not be blamed.

Unexpectedly, with this decree, all states and regions began to seriously check the land from top to bottom, and 10,000+ mu of fertile land suddenly appeared across the country.

In addition, some landlords whose own land holdings are less than [-] mu also want to take advantage of the opportunity to get closer to the imperial court and ask to sell their land to the imperial court.

In the end, the expenditure required for the redemption was twice as much as Han You expected, and the national treasury was once again in a hurry.

But Han You didn’t panic this time. Cha Risong, the big buyer of Zhaoguo’s arms, killed his own brother Hasutu with the secret support of Xia Siyan, and successfully won Baihui on the first day of Zhaoxuan’s 19th year. King's throne.

According to the original agreement, the port in the northern sea of ​​Baihui Country will be opened to Zhao Country next year.

So far, Zhaoguo has opened up all the land and water trade routes with neighboring countries, and can already rely on business to maintain huge military expenditures and people's livelihood expenditures.

The envoy Baihui arrived in Beijing on the day before the new year. On that day, Han You read the official document sent by Cha Risong several times, as if he saw the gold and silver from the ship and from the ship through this thick brocade book. On horseback and on camels, they were continuously transported back to Zhaoguo.

Along with the commercial documents, there was actually a letter written by Cha Risong to Han You himself.After Xia Siyan received it, he kept it in his sleeve and didn't take it out. He was very dissatisfied with Cha Risong's blatant letter to Han You.In particular, the four characters "Jing Lue Qin Qi" were written in Zhao Guo characters on the envelope.

The writing is so ugly, and dare to write Han You's name, and Han You is not very familiar with Cha Risong.

Xia Siyan was unhappy in his heart, and felt that he was very petty in hiding Hanyou's letter, and felt a little awkward for two days in a row.

Han You didn't know about this, and was reviewing this year's tax items in his study.The earth dragon was burning warm, and he was only wearing a moon-white gown with a silk face, holding a pen with his right hand and moving the abacus with his left hand, looking very pleasing to the eye.After three years of careful raising by Xia Siyan, he finally had some flesh on his body, and he no longer felt thin when held in his arms.

Han You thought it was hot, so he pushed him, "Is Your Majesty free today? What to do depends on me, these things are so boring."

Xia Siyan was reluctant to let go, and rested his head on his shoulder, "I don't think it's boring, Han Aiqing's plan is so pretty, I can read it all day."

Xia Siyan's body temperature was high, and Han You became even hotter when he hugged him.

Pulling the neckline open a little, revealing a section of white on the nape of the neck, there is also a red mark from the night before, which is a bright temptation.

Han You dialed the abacus lightly, and said as he dialed: "We still rent the land to farmers at the lowest land rent. It's enough if we have a purpose. The land tax should be reduced or exempted. The granary is the most important thing. Doing business earns more money. If you have too much money, you won’t be able to buy food when there’s a famine.”

Xia Siyan gave a absent-minded hum, groped down Han You's side, and placed a kiss on the red mark on the back of his neck.

When Han You tilted his body, the pen drew a slash on the account book, and suddenly said angrily: "Stop making trouble, I'm working."

Xia Siyan agreed, but was reluctant to withdraw his lips from the back of his neck, biting and sucking on the red mark repeatedly, following the familiar touch to find Han You's inextricable lust that night.

"You're so annoying." Han You complained softly, his fingers were a little weak, he couldn't hold the pen steadily, the brush fell, and he drew a mess of ink marks on the diagonal line.

Xia Siyan hugged Han You from behind and stood up, touched the hem of the robe, untied it, and the silk flowed to the ground like water.

They are already too familiar with each other's bodies, a touch, a kiss is an incredible seduction.Han You half closed his eyes and leaned back on Xia Siyan, "You are really annoying, I haven't finished my work yet."

Xia Siyan pinched his chin to block his mouth, stretched out his hand and pushed the things on the table aside, leaving a small space just enough to put Han You on it.

The table was cold, Han You put his arms around Xia Siyan's neck, gasped and said in a low voice, "I knew you were unhappy, what's wrong?"

Xia Siyan didn't speak, but went in fiercely and ruthlessly.Han You was jolting violently, even the heavy mahogany desk made an unbearable soft sound. He hooked Xia Siyan's waist, and coquettishly begged for mercy, "It's going to break...Your Majesty..."

Begging for mercy has become a seduction, wet and sticky, clearly does not want to be spared, but also wants to be more vicious and worse.

Han You couldn't bear it and fell backwards. Xia Siyan hugged his back, locked him in his arms, and said in the final collision, "Han Jinglue, you can only be mine."

The one who was damaged raised his face to greet him, and said sweatingly, "Well... it's yours..."

Xia Siyan has completely grown into the appearance of a mature man, and there is no trace of youthfulness on his face.With a strong chest and strong arms, Han You couldn't escape. With this posture, he could see how the emperor attacked him when he lowered his head. He was ashamed and wanted to turn his head to one side, but Xia Siyan couldn't move his eyes away.

As long as it is Xia Siyan, whether it is tender or fierce, it will fascinate him.

The emperor was also sweating, and he took off his coat and threw it on the chair, and the letter fell out of his sleeve.

Han You lay on his back on the desk, crumpling a stack of documents.His eyes were clouded with tears, and his brain reaction slowed down. He watched the envelope fall out of Xia Siyan's clothes and landed on the table, and asked, "What is that?"

Xia Siyan didn't speak, just pinched Han You's waist to pant, his skin turned red, and Han You screamed in pain from the pinch, then he grabbed his hand and pulled him up, and hugged him face to face, sticky After kissing for a while, he said, "It's a letter from Cha Risong."

"Oh," Han You leaned on Xia Siyan's shoulder and said weakly, "He still wrote you a letter in private, what did he write?"

Xia Siyan paused, "It's not for me, it's for you."

Han You panted for a while, then came back to his senses, holding Xia Siyan's face and smirking, "It turns out that this incident made my Majesty unhappy."

The bodies of the two were still connected, Han You hung on Xia Siyan, picked up the letter on the table in this posture, and tore it open, and read it together with Xia Siyan.

Cha Risong spoke Zhaoguo well, but Zhaoguo's writing was terrible. The characters were as big as a bucket, crooked, and full of typos.

After writing several pieces of letter paper, they expressed one meaning—the new king of Baihui missed his friends in Zhaoguo very much, and wanted to invite Han You to Baihui to play.

Han You threw the letter paper back on the table and asked, "Does Your Majesty want to go?"

"I don't want to go." Xia Siyan was annoyed that Cha Risong actually wrote a letter inviting Han You to play, pretending that I don't exist?It seems that the price of the next batch of weapons sold to Baihui will be raised.

After finishing speaking with a straight face, he said worriedly: "You are not allowed to go either."

Han You laughed, raised his head and kissed Xia Siyan on the lips, "Of course I follow His Majesty, wherever His Majesty is, I will be there."

The favorite minister's skill at coaxing the emperor is getting better and better.

The emperor chased after his lips and kissed until Han You felt that the wet place was stretched open again, and he bit his lips with an expression of impatience.The emperor pressed his forehead and said: "In two years, Xia Siyi will be eighteen. At that time, I will surrender the throne to him. Mr. Han Youhan, Minister of the Household Department, can you marry me back home?"

"Hmm." Han You dragged out a long ending, his pupils flushed red.

Xia Siyan was dissatisfied with this reaction, so he bumped into him fiercely, spraying hot air on his lips, and asked again: "How is it, Han Aiqing?"

Han You half-opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him covered with a layer of red. That man was so serious, there was no joke in his eyes, and he was saying, I love you.

The turbulent emotions surged in Han You's body, the crazy, strong, and long-term separation couldn't be calmed down. He finally knew that the emperor was a lunatic, and so was he.

"Yes, Your Majesty." After a long time, Han You replied with the last bit of energy.
