Cherishing each other with a thousand bones

"Naturally, it is the rich and powerful. It is often said that rich and powerful people are rich and powerful, and these powerful and powerful families are mostly wealth accumulated by generations." Meng Xuancong replied without thinking, and felt that Qingruo's question was not that simple. But after thinking about it, I can't think of a reason.

"It's true to say so, but may I ask your Majesty, is the king of Shu the richest?" Qing Ruo asked with a smile, but the narrowness in her eyes couldn't be more obvious.

Meng Xuancong was choked immediately. As the king of a country, he was the poorest rich man, so he asked, "Then who is the richest person?"

Qingruo got up slowly, her long skirt trailing the floor, and her lake-blue palace attire added a bit of extravagance to her. She picked up the wolf hair on the desk, waved it on the paper, and said: "This is the four classes of scholars, peasants, businessmen and commerce. You should take a closer look and see what you can see."

The bright yellow figure moved to the side of the table and no longer walked around in the study. Meng Xuancong, who was a very smart person, realized it all at once. He pointed to the flying and phoenix business characters on the white paper and asked in surprise: "What is your name?" Does it mean that merchants are the richest?"

Qing Ruo put down her pen and said with a smile: "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are ranked last, with the lowest status and the easiest to be despised by the world, but they are the richest. What they do is money makes money, so they are naturally the richest."

"That's right, they are indeed the richest, but how can we get them to take out the money?" Meng Xuancong naturally understood that businessmen value profits, and it is impossible to take out money for no reason, and they must have a plan.

"I remember when I was young, when someone gave me what I liked or what I needed the most, I would be happy for a while." Qing Ruo didn't say much, just hinted, she knew that the other party was smart, and she didn't need to mention such small details by herself .

Meng Xuancong immediately had an idea in his mind, and said, "Why don't I take the lead in letting all the officials donate, and then publicize among the people to drive those wealthy businessmen to donate. I will reward the top three who donate the most as a token of appreciation."

"Businessmen value profits, but their status has been the lowest since ancient times. What is lacking is that honor. If the merchants are the top three donators this time, I will imitate the decree to give them this honor. When the ancestors fought in all directions and established the Kingdom of Shu, Marquis Yongle, one of the three lords and four marquises who was enshrined after the founding of the country, was a big businessman who raised troops, horses, food and grass for the Communist Party." Meng Xuancong seemed to be afraid that Qingruo would not understand the events of the Communist period in the Kingdom of Shu, and explained with a smile, □□Being able to cede land and build a country among the heroes has a lot to do with Yonglehou's full support.

The person on the opposite side stretched his brows and smiled happily, Qing Ruo felt relieved, it seemed that Meng Xuancong was more capable than he thought, he made up his mind so quickly, and he could draw inferences about other cases to get those powerful people in, I really don't know What should I say, Shu has such a king, those ministers are in a bad situation.

"Some strategies are fine if you use them once, but they won't work if you use them too many times. Don't be suspected by others as a fool who sells officials and nobles." Qing Ruo had to remind, she didn't want the other party to be led astray by herself, after all, some emperors are absurd You have to sell the official title.

"Don't worry, I know it well." Meng Xuancong also knows that it is enough to let his courtiers bleed once, and if there is too much, it will cause complaints. What's more, he has just ascended the throne. If he is not really short of money, he will not will do so.He silently made up his mind that as long as he could tide over the difficulties this time, he would make every effort to make the Kingdom of Shu prosperous, and this kind of money shortage should be the last time.

The palace was full of joy and laughter, but Bai Zihua, who was observing in the other courtyard, looked at the scene so dazzlingly. He knew that Ah Ruo was still a little girl and didn't know anything, but he looked at the light in Meng Xuancong's eyes, and his heart was filled with embarrassment. .He also thought that although Shan Chunqiu was not in the palace, but the Mercy Sword broke through Shan Chunqiu's barrier, it would definitely attract Shan Chunqiu, I'm afraid Ah Ruo's situation is not good,

In the guest room of the other courtyard, the tea cups on the table are still warm, but there is no one in the room, only a line of writing on a blank paper.

Inside the palace, the glazed lamps in the imperial study room were still brightly lit. Meng Xuancong was discussing with the old ministers about raising money, when the servant outside the door received the news from outside the palace, he went straight to the door without delay and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. I have something important to report."

"Come in and talk." Meng Xuancong had to stop, announced the servant outside the door, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, news just came that Princess Changning of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has arrived in the capital, and she has presented a document to meet the Emperor." The servant received the signal from Meng Xuancong, and handed over the document she had just received.

Meng Xuancong opened the document, glanced at it quickly, and was a little puzzled why the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty came to Shu Kingdom, and it was at this time, did she have any plans?

"What do you all think is the reason why this princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty came to our country?" Meng Xuancong folded up the document and asked the courtiers standing below. He also wondered, could it be that he wanted to take advantage of his new enthronement to create civil strife?But there is no need to go to Shu Kingdom in person, and it is still so public, with the whole guard of honor in full swing.

Everyone looked at each other suspiciously, except for important events in each country, these royal children would visit other countries. Why did Princess Changning come here? I couldn't think of the reason for a while, so I could only say in embarrassment: "This..."

"Please forgive me, the emperor, and I don't know about it." Those courtiers handed over their hands and confessed, with guilt on their faces.

Meng Xuancong waved his hand, motioning for everyone to calm down, and said: "Although I don't know the reason for the sudden arrival of the other party, you should make arrangements for the accommodation as soon as possible, and then I will hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow night to cleanse the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. You must make careful arrangements."

"The ministers obey the order."

And in the other palace of the palace, Qingruo received a message from Qingshui and learned that Meng Xuanlang and Princess Changning failed to negotiate, thinking about the personality of her cousin, if she knew that she was here, she would definitely want to play with her again. It seems that she will come to the palace in less than three days.

Qingruo slowly folded the letter and put it in the storage ring. Seeing that it was getting late, she took off her outer clothes, lay down on the bed and fell asleep. The room was quiet, except for a bright light emitting a faint halo.

When there was silence around and no one else was around, a man in white suddenly appeared in the room, walked towards the bed, gently lifted the curtain, looked at the quiet and gentle woman on the bed, and said silently in his heart: Ah Ruo.This person was Bai Zihua who was worried about his apprentice, always worried that Shan Chunqiu and others would hurt Ah Ruo, and he didn't want to show up in the Shu Kingdom's palace, so he could only secretly look at her a few times at night.

He looked at the bright and sly eyes closed during the day, and his sleeping face was more cute than usual. He was very curious, and unconsciously stroked Ruyu's delicate face with his right hand.
