Zhou Zhiruo was still thinking, but Zhao Min's eyes lit up when he heard it: "That's right, it's a good solution, but there are still two problems. First, such a tax policy has greatly damaged the interests of the gentry. How will it be implemented then?"
Song Qingshu said solemnly: "What are we raising 50,000 elite soldiers for? What's more, with the power of a great victory now, those gentry dare not resist."
Zhao Min nodded, and also thought that his method was feasible: "Then there is a second problem. If you do this, you will definitely offend the gentry class. What if they go to other countries? You must know that there are many countries today. It doesn't have to be under your rule."
Song Qingshu smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, the gentry class also has its natural weakness. Their power and their roots are here. If they move to other countries, they will inevitably lose a lot of wealth, and the contacts accumulated before will disappear. The loss may not be less than the tax they pay as required. What's more, if they move to other countries, it will definitely damage the interests of the big families of those countries, and the other party will definitely stumbling them. Therefore, unless we want to drive them out, they will never will migrate."
You must know that when the Western Jin Dynasty was in turmoil and Yongjia was traveling south, unless the families who were particularly close to Sima Yue and Sima Rui, the remaining real top wealthy families, such as the Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fan Yang, etc., did not move south at all. There were also fierce power struggles between the relocated families and the local gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.
Taking history as a mirror, Song Qingshu was so sure just now.
"Take a step back, the ancestral graves of those big families are still here." Zhou Zhiruo suddenly added coldly.
Zhao Min looked at Song Qingshu, then at Zhou Zhiruo, and couldn't help sighing: "Sometimes I have to sigh that you are a perfect match, one cannibalizes people but doesn't spit out bones, and the other is ruthless."
Zhou Zhiruo raised her eyebrows, she was not angry for the first time, but she pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."
Song Qingshu held her hand, and said softly, "Zhiruo, I just mentioned the general policy, and I will trouble you with how to implement it."
Even though they've been married for so long, Zhou Zhiruo still blushed when he held her hand, but she suddenly came to her senses, gave Zhao Min a provocative look, and then replied in an extremely gentle voice: "Qing Shu, don't worry, I will definitely take care of you." After completing what you told us, who made us husband and wife."
"Hey, I really can't stand you guys. Didn't you see that there was someone next to you?" Zhao Min felt a chill, and exaggeratedly rubbed his arms, "You guys make out yourself, I'm going out first."
Without waiting for their response, he walked out without looking back.
I came to the back garden aimlessly all the way, and suddenly collapsed with a relaxed look just now, sat on the swing, and kicked the stones on the ground irritably: "It's so annoying, why do you have to do it every time?" Robbing a man with the surname Zhou?"
As soon as this remark came out, she was stunned, and looked around guiltily, seeing that no one heard it, she let out a long sigh of relief.
But thinking of what was on his mind, he couldn't help but sit on the swing with his knees hugged and became dazed.
Let's say that Song Qingshu and Zhou Zhiruo have been warm for a long time, telling each other what happened during this time of separation, and they didn't separate until a subordinate came to report to the government.
"I have to deal with business. You have worked hard all the way, go to the room to rest first." Zhou Zhiruo gently arranged his clothes for him.
"Then take your time." Seeing her serious look, Song Qingshu couldn't help laughing, kissed her on the cheek and came out of the study. Maybe it's because Zhou Zhiruo lost her father since she was a child, and because she grew up in a place like Emei, she had to compete with many seniors and sisters to destroy her teacher's favor. Just to be strong character.
Perhaps because of thinking of other competitors such as Ah Jiu, she also wanted to make some achievements to prove herself, so she spent all her sleep and food on the government affairs in Yangzhou. There are also a series of subordinates and assistants, who are gradually handling it with ease...
"But my husband is still busy with business when he comes back, can't he make out with me first and then do it?" Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel a little resentful. At this time, he had to lament that certain plots in the original work, Zhou Zhiruo and Yue Lingshan had some meaning The above is a kind of person, they are very serious and put business first, but whether Zhang Wuji or Linghu Chong are romantic characters, they will naturally prefer women like Zhao Min and Ren Yingying who are tired of business and are more interested in romance .
However, Song Qingshu didn't mean to underestimate Zhou Zhiruo at all. Her character is what she needs most now, which is to need this kind of conscientious and virtuous housemate to help with various government affairs.
Thoughts were flying along the way, Song Qingshu came to the back garden unknowingly, and suddenly saw under the afterglow of the setting sun, a charming and unparalleled girl was sitting on a swing not far away with her knees hugged, half leaning on the ropes on both sides, being caught The rope outlines the graceful and graceful lines.
But the girl was looking at the north in a daze at the moment, her beautiful face was full of melancholy.
"Homesick?" Song Qingshu walked up to Zhao Min and asked softly.
As if awakened by a start, Zhao Min looked back at him and snorted coldly: "Aren't you staying with Zhou Zhiruo to accompany her?"
"I was worried that you might be overwhelmed, so I came to see you." Song Qingshu couldn't help but despise his flamboyant instinct. It was obvious that Zhou Zhiruo had to leave because he had to deal with official business, but he said it so nicely.
"Cut, who cares?" Zhao Min snorted, but his face softened a lot.
"Are you homesick?" Song Qingshu grabbed the swing and repeated the question just now.
Zhao Min's eyes turned red, but she quickly covered it up: "So what if I miss home, so what if I don't want home? Anyway, you won't let me go, and I won't be looking for trouble."
"Don't be so pessimistic, it makes me feel like I'm taking you as a prisoner and bullying you." Song Qingshu smiled wryly.
Zhao Min gave him an angry look: "Isn't it?"
Song Qingshu choked for breath, but he was a little speechless, after all, to some extent, Zhao Min is now "imprisoned" by him.
"Actually, I came back this time to take you back to the north." Song Qingshu coughed twice and hurriedly diverted her attention.
Zhao Min's eyes lit up, but he curled his lips quickly: "You have a tigress in your family, it's no wonder you let me go with you."
Song Qingshu has black lines on his face. It seems that Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo are really incompatible by nature. They have been fighting each other for so many years, and they never let go of any chance to hurt each other.
"Uh, there is a business to take you away," Song Qingshu hurriedly explained, "I found news about Murong Jingyue."
"What!" Zhao Min suddenly sat up straight, "Where is that bastard?" She has been tortured by the Three Corpse Brain Pill for the past year. She shuddered, especially girls have a natural fear of insects, and every day is a bit tormented.
Song Qingshu shook his head: "I can't tell you now, lest you go to him impulsively and startle the snake."
"Don't you want to go with me too? Why would you startle the snake? Tell me, tell me~" Later Zhao Min even took his arm and began to act coquettishly, which shows how deep his resentment towards Murong Jingyue was.
"The main reason is that I have to go back to the Kingdom of Jin, and I can only go with you after the affairs over there are dealt with..." Song Qingshu suddenly closed his mouth, almost slipping the word "Liao Kingdom".
"Back to the Kingdom of Jin?" Zhao Minxiu frowned, "For the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty?"
"How do you know?" Song Qingshu wondered. After all, the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty was prepared in secret. He only got the news because he was at a high-level and near the water.
"Hmph, soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were mobilized frequently during this period, and they continued to gather on the south bank of the Yangtze River. The pigs could tell that they were going to make a northern expedition." Zhao Min said dismissively.
Song Qingshu couldn't help thinking that in this way, most of the people in this world would become pigs. You think everyone is as smart as you.
"The Song Dynasty is obviously going to get serious this time. What are you going to do when you return to the Kingdom of Jin?" Zhao Min already knew about his pretending to be Tang Kuo in the Kingdom of Jin before, and now the whole world knows that the power of the Kingdom of Jin is in Tang Kuo's hands. During the debate, she naturally knew what Song Qingshu was going to do when he went back.
Of course, Song Qingshu didn't tell her that the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin had changed, after all, the other party was from the Mongolian camp, and he was worried that she would reveal the secret.
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the soil. The Song Dynasty's ability to defend the city is against the sky, but the field attack is really not good." Song Qingshu was full of confidence at one moment, but at the next moment he looked at Zhao Min with a smile on his face, "Of course I still need your help. Help me make a plan."
Zhao Min pouted: "Why should I help you?"
Song Qingshu tidied up his clothes, and left as if to leave: "It's okay if you don't help, then you can stay here and continue to accompany Zhiruo, and I will pick you up after I finish dealing with Jin Guo's affairs."
Zhao Min's expression changed, and he hastily pulled him back: "Okay, okay, I'll help you, so you're ruthless."
Song Qingshu couldn't laugh or cry: "Is Zhiruo so scary?"
Zhao Min snorted: "If I used to be afraid of her, but now I'm a prisoner and I don't have enough power to use. No matter how resourceful I am, I can't match the absolute difference in force. I have been exhausted from coping these days. .”
"Can't you all live in peace?" Song Qingshu said helplessly.
Zhao Min gave him a strange look, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "You really have some dirty thoughts."
Song Qingshu's face became hot, and he diverted the conversation in embarrassment.
The two chatted in the back garden for a while, and the time passed before they knew it, and suddenly there was a light cough from behind, and the two turned their heads to find Zhou Zhiruo looking at this side with an unkind expression.
"It's time to eat." Zhou Zhiruo snorted, turned and left.
