After hearing Tang Ji's question, Emperor Ning smiled calmly, a glimmer of light flashed in his deep eyes, and said, "If I were the emperor, you would have been separated by your head by now."
Hearing this, Tang Ji nodded slightly, and he was right. Since ancient times, kings have been ruthless. If the assassin was caught, he would have been punished on the spot. How could he have time to chat with the other party? He thought about it carefully and replied: "I was killed outside the city today."
After being chased and killed, I was rescued by Princess Zhaoyang. Unexpectedly, some troubles happened again. I went back and forth to the palace. I wanted to sneak out, but I was discovered by the father-in-law in the palace."
There is no point in hiding it anymore at this time. The fact that the other party can still play the piano in the palace shows that his official position is definitely not low, and casual investigation should be able to find out.
Emperor Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. Qi'er did leave the palace today and still held his token. No wonder the soldiers guarding the city didn't find out. It seems that this system will have to be changed in the future, otherwise just anyone will take his gold medal.
Isn't it possible to bring people in? But looking at Tang Ji, he couldn't help but joke: "Why should I trust you?"
Okay, I just explained it in vain!
Tang Ji sighed, feeling the resistance in his stomach and the weakness of his body, he simply lay down on the ground and said: "I know the fourth prince Li Yu, and the commander of the Yunxiao Guard Su Ling, you can find anyone here, they can all prove it.
I'm not a bad person."
After listening to his words, Emperor Ning immediately became interested in him and continued: "Whether you know them or not, what we are talking about now is your secret invasion of the harem."
"I... cough." Tang Ji wanted to explain, but found that his lips had begun to crack and his voice had become hoarse. He raised his eyes and asked, "Can you give me some water to drink first?"
Emperor Ning glanced at him, raised his hand to signal Tianxuan to step back, and then asked the palace maid to bring Tang Ji a cup of tea in an ordinary jade cup.
Tang Ji drank the warm tea in one sip, and immediately felt much more comfortable. He looked at the other person again, and an idea flashed through his mind, saying: "The music I just listened to you playing seemed very sad. It must be that you have met someone."
What's the trouble? Why don't we do some business?"
"Doing business?" This was the first time that Emperor Ning heard someone dare to do business with him. He picked up the golden cup again and said with a smile: "Tell me about it!"
"I'll help you resolve your worries, how about you take me out of the palace?" Tang Ji at least knew some common sense about psychology, and helping people resolve their worries was no problem.
But the next second, the majestic man sitting on the soft seat laughed loudly: "Hahaha, understand me... understand my thoughts? Are you sure?"
He is the king of a country, and his worries are all about the world and the people. There are many difficult things that even the officials in the court cannot give a strategy for. How can this guy in front of him, who looks like he has no hair, help him solve his doubts? Adjustment
With a good expression, he continued to ask: "Then what if you can't untie it?"
"Let it be dealt with!" Tang Ji was willing to take the risk. Even if he really couldn't cure the other party with his psychological therapy, he could still delay the time and wait for Li Yu to rescue him. If he couldn't, he would take out the gold medal for immunity from death that Professor Chen left for him.
.
"Okay!" Emperor Ning pressed his hands on the table and continued: "I am Bai Chang, the chief chamberlain. In the past two days, Your Majesty has been troubled by court affairs and has expressed his anger at me. If I can share your worries, I can
Let go of your unhappiness."
"A court matter?" Tang Ji suddenly opened his mouth.
Also, the guy in front of me is also a eunuch? It doesn’t even look like it!
"You just agreed, don't go back on it!" Ning Huang reminded.
Tang Ji sat on the banquet with his legs curled up, nodded and replied, "Okay, you say."
Emperor Ning raised his eyes to look at the night sky, thought for a while, and then said: "According to the report from the Ministry of Industry, the annual harvest of grain in our country of Ning is constantly decreasing. Many farmers cannot afford to buy seeds. Especially during the lean years, they can only harvest seeds."
Ask landlords or wealthy businessmen for loans, but not everyone can repay the interest on the loan. The burden on farmers is getting heavier and heavier. Ningguo has always developed freely, but in the long run it may lead to heresy. His Majesty plans to implement 'emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business'.
What do you think about cracking down on wealthy businessmen?"
Hearing this, Tang Ji nodded slightly. Ningguo is a relatively open country and does not suppress traders excessively. This can be seen from the business tax, but he is a businessman himself. If he emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, where will he be in the future?
Going to make money, he quickly replied: "Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome. It's okay to 'emphasize agriculture', but the intensity of 'repressing business' can indeed be smaller. What did you just say, oh, right, farmers can't afford seeds, right? This
It's not simple yet. The "Green Crops Law" was introduced. During the lean seasons in summer and spring every year, the government would lend money or grain to farmers and return the principal and interest after they harvest, so that they would not be short of seeds and grain for farming and harvesting.
, you don’t need to borrow money from wealthy businessmen.”
"Also, the government can encourage people to reclaim wasteland and build water conservancy projects. The construction costs of water conservancy projects will be funded by households that benefit from them. If you really don't have money, ask the government for a loan. Don't underestimate water conservancy projects. In addition to flood control, they can
, increase the harvest of crops, and also create employment for local people, etc. Anyway, there are many benefits..."
"What else is there next? Let me think about it, yes, production tools. We should not have curved shaft plows and bobbin carts at this time. Although I have never seen them, I can roughly talk about the principles and let the Ministry of Industry find some.
People have studied and found that once production tools are upgraded, productivity can be improved. Do you know what productivity is? It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. In short, once these new production tools appear, they will definitely be good for agriculture."
"As for wealthy businessmen, business taxes can be raised relatively, but not too high, otherwise those businessmen who work hard to do business will also be dissatisfied..."
"...This is the 'Fangtian Tax Equalization Law', but I guess we won't be able to use it for the time being. Just do the above first, and do the rest slowly." Tang Ji finished,
He raised the tea cup in his hand again and signaled the other party to pour him another glass of water, only to find that the majestic man was already stunned in place.
Emperor Ning stared closely at Tang Ji. The court had also discussed this matter before, but the officials could not piece together a complete method. He did not expect that he could summarize it so completely. Although it included
There were a lot of things that I didn't understand, but they gave people a very reliable feeling. The curved shaft plow and the barrel cart were also very novel, so I subconsciously asked: "Who are you?"
Tang Ji didn't answer and shook the tea cup in his hand.
Emperor Ning glanced at the palace maid beside him, who quickly filled Tang Ji with tea.
After Tang Ji drank it, he took out an apple from the plate on the table, took a bite, and casually replied: "Sir, just call me Tang Ji."
Emperor Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had heard this name somewhere. He suddenly remembered the battle report Li Yu had written to him and the memorial handed over by Chen Jizhong, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you Tang Ji?"
