Du Heng smiled slightly and didn't say much.

After watching Mr. Liu leave, Du Heng considered that the two masters might still be waiting, so he did not dare to waste any more time and quickly wrote down the notes.

Yin hour three quarters.

The fourth prince's residence.

Jun Ye, the fourth prince and Qian Lao were making tea and chatting.

The fourth prince respectfully served tea to Jun Ye and Mr. Qian.

Mr. Qian felt very pleased when he saw the fourth prince's pious and serious appearance.

Jun Ye is a man of the world, and the four princes all value and respect him so much. If he becomes a big business in the future, he will surely be reused.

More than half a month ago, after he was sentenced to death by the second prince, he was already ready to die.

Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes again, he saw the Fourth Prince!

For a moment, Mr. Qian thought that the fourth prince was also dead, but after careful questioning, he learned that the people who saved him were Jun Ye and Princess Jing.

Owing a favor to Jun Ye and Princess Jing, and with his presence in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Qian Lao could figure it out with his toes that Jun Ye wanted him to assist the Fourth Prince.

When he was working as an errand at the second prince's residence, the information Mr. Qian collected was that the fourth prince was dull and did not like to compete for the limelight. On weekdays, he was not ignored by the princes or ministers, whether among the princes or in the court.

They take it seriously.

In the past, the second prince, the third prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince fought fiercely.

As a result, Mr. Qian also felt that the fourth prince did not look like a person who could achieve great things.

But during these more than half a month of getting along, Mr. Qian discovered that the fourth prince was the most outstanding one among these adult princes.

He is wise and intelligent, and he does not doubt anyone he employs. He gives each of his subordinates the greatest power and lets them do whatever they want. He secretly controls many departments with real power, but on the surface he still does not fight for it, no.

No, just like a transparent person.

Of course, being invisible and transparent for a long time actually has its disadvantages.

For example, the emperor and the common people could not see how outstanding the fourth prince was.

When the fourth prince rescued Emperor Xiaoming before, he also got Jun Ye's words of "attacking the heart first".

This strategy has to be said to have worked well. The fourth prince now receives more favor and attention from Emperor Xiaoming than in the past few years.

What they want to discuss now is how to let the common people see the fourth prince.

"As the old saying goes, caring for people's livelihood is always the fastest way to enter people's horizons."

Mr. Qian stroked the white beard on his chin, "In the past, Mr. Qian once proposed to the second prince the idea of ​​exempting land taxes, but the second prince felt that this method was too risky and would affect the interests of various aristocratic families, so he declined."

The fourth prince thought seriously for a moment, and soon understood why the second prince refused in the first place.

"From the second brother's point of view, this prince can also understand. The aristocratic family owns the most farmland in the entire Longyue Kingdom. If we want to exempt the land from taxes, the aristocratic family should be the first to support it. But we, Longyue,

The aristocratic families in China do not cultivate all the fields they own, but rent them to some farmers. In addition to collecting the rent for their fields, they also receive half of the food. The aristocratic families

Every year from rent alone, you can make a small profit of tens of thousands of taels, as well as hundreds of thousands of pounds of grain. The most important thing is that every year, three parts of the tax collected by the state are given to each aristocratic family as a reward. A family with one share of land can

They will be stupid to give up this benefit after making it three times. The second brother does not have military power, what he needs is the support of various aristocratic families. The second brother will never touch the interests of the aristocratic families."

(The purpose of taxation in this article is not consistent with the purpose of taxation in history. It is purely made up by the author himself after contacting the plot below. Just read it.)

Mr. Qian nodded and said happily, "The fourth prince is right. The second prince did think so at the time."

The fourth prince is really smart and can understand everything at once.

Mr. Qian has assisted the second prince for so many years, so he naturally knows where the second prince's shortcomings are.

In addition to the fact that the second prince has no military power in his hands, the most important thing is that the second prince's heart is too selfish and cruel.

Although everyone says it is a big deal, he cannot be as kind as a woman.

But if the king of a country is not considerate and sympathetic to the suffering of the people, the country will soon perish.

Although the fourth prince was not particularly prominent in the court, in private, Mr. Qian could observe that the fourth prince was a person who was cruel when he needed to be cruel and sympathized when he needed to be sympathetic.

Furthermore, the fourth prince had the secret support of King Jing before, and now he has the support of Su Zheng.

To put it bluntly, if the fourth prince wants to rebel at this time, he can usurp the throne within an hour at most.

But doing so would be unfair and unfair, and would lead to the charge of patricide.

The rest of the princes or kings with different surnames will start civil wars in the name of "Qingjun side".

Once a civil war breaks out in the Longyue Kingdom, other surrounding countries will definitely not miss this opportunity to attack the Longyue Kingdom, burn, loot, etc. It is the people of the Longyue Kingdom who will suffer, and even if the Longyue Kingdom is flattened by the enemy, there are reasons. possible.

In order to be justified and to prevent the people from suffering serious consequences, everything needs to be considered in the long run.

Jun Ye remained silent, just sipping the tea in his hand.

He will be sitting here tonight, actually waiting for the results of Du Heng's observation of the celestial phenomena.

As if knowing that he was waiting more eagerly, someone from the Fourth Prince's Mansion came over to inform him that Du Heng was here.

The fourth prince quickly stood up and personally welcomed Du Heng in.

After Du Heng arrived, Mr. Qian stood up and saluted.

Du Heng glanced at Jun Ye, saluted him respectfully, and then exchanged greetings with Mr. Qian.

As for Jun Ye, he had been sitting aside, drinking tea calmly.

Mr. Qian has been here for half a month, and he has some understanding. Jun Ye seems to be a member of the world, but he has an unconcealed nobility and the fourth prince shows respect for him. Mr. Qian also guesses some of Jun Ye's unknown identities. Simple.

But Mr. Qian didn't dare to guess the specific identity of this person and what his face looked like under the golden phoenix-shaped mask.

It is better to do less than to do more. Anyway, the goal of both of them is to assist the fourth prince to rise to power.

Jun Ye put down the teacup and asked in a lazy and casual voice, "What's the star like tonight?"

"Back to your Majesty, everyone in the Qintian Prison has completed their observations and confirmed that there will be no heavy rain in Kyoto and that there will be a drought period of about two months."

Jun Ye stood up and stood with his hands behind his back, "Whether it's a drought or a flood, it's right to stock up on necessities such as clean water, grain, medicinal materials, and clean clothes. Be careful, don't take the initiative to let people go to farmers' homes to buy them. "

After leaving these words, Jun Ye got up and flew away.

Mr. Qian was already used to Jun Ye's extremely cool behavior of leaving after leaving a few words.

The fourth prince bowed slightly to where Jun Ye left, then turned to look at Mr. Qian.
