The country is not as pretty as the beauty

Time passed quickly, and all the northern provinces assembled troops to march northward, with food and horses, just in time for the autumn harvest.

However, in the military system of the Su Dynasty, in addition to the standing army, each province also needed to replenish the army. Because of the autumn harvest, Li Jing only let one farmer and soldier from each household go to war, and there was only one laborer in the family.

The order was issued, but in the end most of the farmers and soldiers came. Under the governance of Tian Wuhen, the depressed country gradually improved, and the lives of the people also improved. The people loved the emperor in their hearts, and the purpose of going to war with the Turks was for the peace of the people on the border. Besides, they also hated the Turks' dishonesty.

The north is in turmoil, but the opposite south is very stable. The inspectors sent by Tian Wuhen are monitoring all roads, but they will be aware of any disturbance, so the kings in the south are still at peace.

The food produced by natural disasters in the south is not enough for their own food, but what is more serious is that they are not enough for their own food. The expedition needs food, but the two provinces in the south of the Yangtze River that supply the entire Su Dynasty were hit by natural disasters. It should have been a bumper year.

Fortunately, there is food in the government, so the people will not starve to death. Because of the needs of the army, Tian Wuhen saves in the palace. There are too many women in the palace. He followed Bai Muxue's suggestion and let more than 3000 palace ladies go home. The monthly expenses are spent, and the food saved by 3000 people can be used to supply the army.

Mu Shiji of Bingzhou in the south has been in close contact with Qi Wang Tianyou, governor of Qizhou recently. Tian Wuhen knows all of this.

Tianyou belongs to the royal family and has only one son. The eldest son Tian Haotian is fatuous and incompetent. He only knows how to eat all day long. The family mentioned this to their father.

Tianyou thought that he was young and the Mu family was only a small court official at that time, and wanted to give up because he married the eldest princess. Later, Mu Lingrou became more and more beautiful, and Tianhao liked it more and more. So lustful but never married.

During the autumn harvest, the farmers in the crops are busy harvesting. The Su family rents out a lot of farmland, but the Su family does not receive a lot of money. When the farming is busy, Su Yixin will go to see it, and sometimes he will help .

The country is supported by the people, but it is not the people who support the country. The same nobles provide the land to support the farmers, but if there is no labor from the people, how can the nobles get food? The Su family understands this truth very well, so it is stable in Bingzhou The largest household.

Working at sunrise and resting at sunset, facing the loess and back to the sky, these are experiences that aristocrats have never had, but Su Yunxin often went out of the city to see it when he was a child, and Su Li once took her there and told her about the endless scenery outside the city The fields all belong to their Su family, and the people who work here are also supported by the Su family, but Su Yunxin was unusual when she was a child, and argued against her father who hugged her.

"I heard that the land is shared by the people in the world. Daddy does not own it, but he only has the right to cultivate it. The land is the country's land, not an individual. They use the country's land. It is not Daddy who is supporting them, but they are supporting Daddy and the world!"

Su Li was a little surprised by his daughter's words, but it was common for Su Yunxin to surprise him since he was a child.

Every time it is busy farming season, Su Yunxin likes to see those working people, and she has some insights. The world is farming all over the world, but at the end of a year of hard work, most of them have to pay taxes and hand over to the landlords. The poor get poorer, and the rich The situation of getting richer still exists.

What Su Yunxin can improve is only the range of the Su family, and Su Li will not allow her to act too recklessly because of the interests of the Su family. The emperor is in the eastern capital, and the emperor is far away. How can they take everything into consideration, even if the politicians know it, they won't say it easily, and how many good things will happen to offend the nobles.

If it wasn't for the Su family's family rules, and if it wasn't for women not being allowed to participate in politics, Su Yun really wanted to accept Mu Lingrou to take the imperial examination.

Even after passing the imperial examination, Mu Lingrou still wants the Su family to return to the political arena. Businessmen can affect a county, a county or even a state, but they are still at the low end.

There is no definite time for the leniency given by Mu Shiji. The army of the Northern Kingdom is on the Northern Expedition, but it is not all the strength of the whole country. There are still troops to maintain the daily life, so they cannot move easily.

A gentleman hides his weapon and waits for it to move. This is what Mu Shiji thinks. There are hidden dangers on all sides of the northern border. He wants to calm down. The military will eventually lead to national turmoil. At that time, he is just looking for an opportunity. He has been waiting for decades. I don't care about waiting for a few more years, anyway, if the son of King Qi is not Mu Lingrou, he will not marry, and the Su family will fail at that time. In the case of King Lian, King Qi is just as stupid anyway, he listens to villains and is far from virtuous ministers.

There is no sun today, but there is no need for the south. The autumn wind in the north is a bit cold, and the south is still hot and humid. Su Yunxin sneaked out again when he was away from home. He rode a horse by himself. Mu Lingrou returned to Shuntian Mansion a month ago.

Mu Shiji called Mu Lingrou back because he was not in a hurry and asked her to meet Tianhao, the heir son of King Qi who came to visit.

Tired from the long journey, Mu Lingrou wanted to take a good rest when she returned to the mansion. However, it happened that Tianhao arrived at Shuntian Mansion a few hours earlier on the same day. As soon as Mu Lingrou returned to the Hou Mansion, Mu Shiji asked Yang Qin to pick her up. past.

"Princess, Lord Hou welcomes you!" Yang Qin was very arrogant, but Mu Lingrou ignored him, and he didn't want to talk to shameless people, so he wanted to go back to his room without answering him.

Yang Qin stopped Mu Lingrou, Zhang Jing pushed Yang Qin away, Yang Qin glanced at Zhang Jing angrily, but had nothing to say, swallowed and continued.

"This is what Lord Hou ordered, even if the princess doesn't want to be tied up, she will be tied up!"

Mu Lingrou always saw that he was not pleasing to the eye, and said impatiently: "What's the matter!"

Yang Qinxie smiled: "Of course it's a good thing."

Mu Lingrou knew that the good things Yang Qin said would never go according to her wishes, which made her even more reluctant to go, but Zhang Jing knew that Mu Shiji's temper hated others disobeying him the most.

"Princess, I think it's better to go and see, otherwise Master Hou will scold again!" Zhang Jing only said scolding, but Mu Shiji not only scolded, Mu Shiji was not from a high background, but he was both civil and military. There is no one in the world who can beat him, so he is favored by the eldest princess. In terms of the entire Hou Mansion, his favorite minister's martial arts are already above the world, but he is not as good as him, so his attacks are also very ruthless.

Mu Lingrou thought for a while, and what Zhang Jing said was true.

The bumps on the carriage made her very tired, and dragging her sleepy body made her even more charming. When she first entered the door, Tian Hao, who hadn't seen him for many years, was stunned. Mu Shiji looked at Tian Hao, secretly delighted.

"Father~" Mu Lingrou saluted, and saw the fat man that she hated again. Tianhao was eating, drinking and having fun all day long. He was a bit big and it was inconvenient to walk. As for the daughter of a prince and aristocrat, who would want to marry him? , but Mu Shiji doesn't care what he looks like, even if he is disabled, he only wants the power of King Qi behind him.

Mu Lingrou frowned at Tianhao: "If father has nothing to do, Lingrou will leave!"

Mu Lingrou wanted to leave, and she didn't want to stay for a moment, but Mu Shiji would not let her leave easily.

"Wait a minute, the little prince has come all the way to see you, how about the hospitality that the old man taught you on weekdays?"

Mu Lingrou drew those eyebrows together tightly, but Mu Shiji didn't pay any attention.

"Lingrou resigns!"

She didn't seem to listen to Mu Shiji's words, and Mu Shiji was of course angry: "Presumptuous!" He shouted loudly.

"Uncle calm down, sister Lingrou must be tired too, I'll accompany her to relax in a while!" Tian Hao interceded, and Mu Shiji finally calmed down.

"The little prince will take care of the little girl." There are too many princes and marquises, and the prince's son is destined to be the eldest son. Besides, Mu Shiji also wants to befriend the king of Qi.

"sure!"

Tian Hao smiled foolishly, and walked slowly in front of Mu Lingrou, wanting to help the body that was about to fall, but Mu Lingrou ruthlessly threw her away, and did not move at all. After leaving, Tianhao rushed to chase after him.

Mu Shiji stroked his beard, extremely satisfied with the idea.

"Master Hou, this little prince has a deep affection for the princess~" Yang Qin also probably participated in this plan, and was gloating at this time.

Mu Shiji smiled: "It's easy to talk about the matter with King Qi, but it will be a big loss if you don't get the Su family's wealth." What he wants most is the wealth of the first merchant in the south of the Yangtze River.

What Mu Shiji was thinking, Yang Qin naturally guessed: "I knew those assassins shouldn't have been killed so early last time, which made Su Li suspicious."

It turned out that Mu Shiji had already placed more than one eyeliner beside Mu Lingrou. Mu Shiji knew about the Su family's desire to regret the marriage, so he gave Mu Lingrou time to resolve the suspicion of the Su family. Wang made friends.

"Su Li is too cautious. It is difficult to get the support of the Su family!"

"Master Hou, if you can't be soft, then..." Yang Qin put his hand on his neck and made a gesture.

"The time has not come." Mu Shiji shook his head, and Yang Qin continued.

"Or you can make a fuss about Miss Su's family!"

"What do you mean by that?"

So Yang Qin took a step closer and said: "Master Hou should have noticed that Su Zhan didn't care much for the princess this year, but it is Su Yun who has a close relationship with the princess."

"So what?" Mu Shiji said disapprovingly.

"Master Hou is in the Hou Mansion, so he is busy with official duties so he doesn't know what's going on outside. Su Yunxin has publicized that she doesn't marry men and likes women, and Su Li and his wife don't stop them." Mu Shiji has heard of this rumor before. , but never cared about it, so he has come to take it seriously.

"Ridiculous!" Mu Shiji shouted two words.

Seeing that he was angry, Yang Qin hurriedly adjusted: "Master Hou, think about it, wouldn't it be good if she fell in love with the princess? Su Li loves Su Junxin more than Su Zhan, and he can even agree to such a thing In the future, the Su family will definitely fall into the hands of Su Yuxin, we will wait for the princess to make friends with Su Yuxin, and then plot to kill Su Li, this Su family will belong to Lord Hou."

Yang Qin wanted to push Mu Lingrou into the fire pit, but actually helped her.

Mu Shiji walked left and right, and suddenly smiled: "Ziyi is a good planner, so I'm giving her some time, no matter if it's Su Yuxin or Su Zhan, as long as she can get the Su family, whoever she's with and has something to do with me?" What does it matter."

Mu Lingrou was still walking at a brisk pace, and Tianhao was chasing after him. He was so big that he could only trot, which seemed to be very strenuous.

"Sister, wait for me!"

Tianhao was a little tired from running, and felt a little resentful in his heart. He was not a good person in the first place, and it stimulated his heart. He must get what he couldn't get. Tianhao couldn't run anymore, so he had to let Mu Lingrou go. Yes, he gritted his teeth, secretly determined to get this woman.

The author has something to say: What kind of person do you think Mu Shiji is?
