Xiao Yueye felt like she was walking in the desert, her whole body was hot, and she was unbearably hungry and thirsty. WWw.QUAbEn-XIAoShUo.COmHis mind was in a trance, and he didn't know where he was. Just when he felt like he was about to die, he could feel the coldness from nowhere enveloped him, pulling him back from the edge of death.
There were a lot of urgent shouts faintly in my ears, but nothing could be heard clearly.
There is darkness all around, and there is a bright light ahead. It seems that if you walk over, all the pain will end.
But Xiao Yueye hesitated instinctively. Although there was darkness behind him, there were too many things there that he couldn't bear to part with.
. . . . . .
When Rourou brought Xiao Yueye back, Mrs. Xiao and Yansha went crazy with anxiety. Both of them deeply loved Xiao Yueye, and their first reaction was to kill three people from heaven and earth. Fortunately, Rourou persuaded them.
When Xiao Yueye's acupuncture points were unlocked, the internal energy in his body slowly flowed automatically, recuperating Xiao Yueye's damaged internal organs. Rourou started to wipe Xiao Yueye's lips with a wet cloth, and then added water little by little. As for his body, Yansha carefully wiped it with the ointment prepared by Rourou, and then carefully wrapped it with a cloth.
Seeing Xiao Yueye's appearance, the women present cried sadly. Especially Mrs. Xiao, she clenched her fists and blamed herself.
Fortunately, not many people know about this matter, and the Xiao Mansion has also blocked the information from the outside world. Even Tiger and others don't know about it.
After two more days, Xiao Yueye finally slowly opened his eyes and looked at the people gathered in front of him.
"Uh..." A simple word, but it seemed to have exhausted Xiao Yueye's strength, and his throat felt tingling with the sound.
Sitting next to her were Rourou and Mrs. Xiao. Yansha was persuaded by them because she was in confinement. Hearing Xiao Yueye's voice, the two of them stepped forward in surprise and looked at Xiao Yueye.
"Mom, Sister Rourou." Xiao Yueye said a few words with difficulty and showed a smile.
. . . . . . Updated, faster, all text reading allows you to understand at a glance and enjoy reading at the same time!
After learning that he had not been able to support himself for three days, Xiao Yueye thought that he was not qualified, and no one from the Dragon Guard came to him.
But when Xiao Yueye was called to the underground secret room just in time, she was really surprised.
"Xiao Yueye, are you ready? The third test is about to begin." Lord Tian stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"What?" Xiao Yueye said doubtfully: "Didn't I fail the second round of patience?"
The Lord took two steps forward, patted Xiao Yueye's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "Haha, in the hundred years of my dragon protection history, there is only one person who can last for three days, and that person's test time is spring. So, you After holding on for two and a half days, this is already the best result, so, Xiao Yueye, you have passed!"
Xiao Yueye nodded, with a hint of joy on his face, and at the same time he felt like he had been fooled.
Master Tian coughed twice, motioned Xiao Yueye to sit down, and then began the test.
"The third test is wisdom, which includes literary talent, military affairs, and finance. Now let me test your literary talent. I have three first couplets here. As long as you can match them all, you will win."
couplet? This is more difficult than ordinary poetry pairing. Xiao Yueye pondered for a moment and then nodded.
"This first couplet is: Post an article, post an article, post an article on the article bridge." Lord Tian smiled faintly and chanted.
There is an allusion to this couplet, which is that five hundred years ago, a scholar named Tang Xianzu exposed his breasts on Wenwen Bridge and was scolded by others as an insult to elegance. At that time, they said that he was showing off the articles inside his belly. , thus saying this first couplet.
It's not difficult to get this one right. It seems that Lord Tian is testing.
Xiao Yueyue flicked her sleeves and said loudly: "Dusk in the east and dusk in the west. Cross the dusk at dusk."
"Okay!" A smile appeared in Lord Tian's eyes: "Then you take my second couplet: Looking up at the fairy trail, Bai Yexian, Lin Yexian, Su Yexian, I am drunk in the lake and mountains today, I am not a fairy but I am a fairy."
Xiao Yueyue touched her chin and thought carefully. This couplet is not simple. Each sentence contains the word "immortal", and the characters Bai, Lin, and Su are respectively the great literary giants in history: Li Bai, Lin Fu, and Su Shi.
Pacing on the spot, Xiao Yueye was thinking carefully in her mind, and suddenly a word appeared in her mind: "The music is flowing!"
Got it! Xiao Yueyue snapped her fingers, showed a confident smile, and said loudly: "Even if you are having fun, you will be happy in spring, summer, autumn, and come to the east to find snow, wind and snow, you will be happy even if you are not happy!"
"Good!" Mr. Tian praised with his eyes and said, "That's right. In the first couplet, I will express my feelings about immortality. In the second couplet, you will express my happiness in every sentence. The picture of enjoying the four seasons will appear before my eyes. Okay!"
The Lords Di and Ren next to them also nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Yueye was a little embarrassed, and raised her hands and said, "That's ridiculous."
"The following is the last couplet. If you get it right, you will pass. This couplet is very long. Please listen carefully."
"please!"
"What's so strange about the first floor? Du Shaoling's five-character masterpiece, Fan Xiwen's two-character concern, Teng Zijing's failure and prosperity, and Lu Chunyang's three faults will make him drunk. Poetry? Scholar? Official? Immortal? I can't see the ancients before, which makes me shed tears. "
This time, Xiao Yueye was stumped. This first couplet was not simple! It talks about a very famous building in history, the Yueyang Tower. Unfortunately, it has been submerged in the ruins of history. In this first couplet, Du Shaoling, Fan Xiwen, Teng Zijing, and Lu Chunyang are all famous poets in history. They respectively correspond to the following "Poetry? Confucianism? Official? Immortal?", and the sentences are neat.
It is really difficult to get this right.
Xiao Yueye frowned, put his hands on his hands, and walked back and forth on the same spot. The three adults of heaven, earth, and people did not disturb him, and sat on the chair with their eyes closed to relax.
"The Four Great Celebrities, Poems, Confucians, Officials and Immortals are talking about the Yueyang Tower. How should the second couplet correspond to it?"
I don’t know how much time passed, but I suddenly heard Xiao Yueye exclaim: “Haha, I have it!”
"Yes?" Lord Tian asked in surprise. He didn't know how to get the first couplet right in the first couplet. Could it be that Xiao Yueye was able to get it right
Xiao Yueye's eyes shone, and confidence flowed through his body. He gently raised his chin and said heroically:
"Please take a look: the south of Dongting Lake is Xiaoxiang, the north of the Yangtze River is connected to the Wu Gorge, the Baling Mountain is coming to the west, and the east of Yueyang City is Yanjiang. Those who live in Zhug? Those who flow? Those who stand? Those who suppress? There is a true meaning in this. Who can understand it? ?”
good!
Lord Tian recalled carefully: "Dongting Lake, Yangtze River, Baling Mountain, and Yueyang City, the four geographical locations correspond to the four characters of Zhuliuzhi Town, which is just right, and it just describes the unique location of Yueyang Tower. The whole sentence is so heroic that it rises to the sky. It's domineering, and there's a real meaning in the last sentence. It's like a stroke of genius if you ask me. Okay! That's right!"
Master Tian stroked his beard and laughed loudly, looking at Xiao Yueye with hot eyes: "What a good Xiao Yueye, you passed! Haha!"
Xiao Yueye came out of the artistic conception of the second line just now and nodded humbly: "Thank you, Lord Tian."
Mr. Di was dressed in Confucian clothes, and a folding fan appeared from nowhere in his hand. He said with a smile: "Xiao Yueye, you are really an eye-opener for us. You are the first one in this world who can make me say hello three times in a row." Ah! From now on, I will test your finances, are you ready?"
"please."
Lord Di used a fan to fan the wind and said calmly: "If there is a national disaster in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the soldiers from all over the country are pressing down on the country, the envoys will go to the court to ask us to provide food for disaster relief. They say that they only need one grain of rice on the first day and two grains on the second day." , four pills on the third day, twice as much as the previous day, only one month, what do you think? "
In previous lives, even children knew this question. Xiao Yueye smiled and said, "Of course I can't borrow it."
"How to say?"
"This problem is actually a trap. It looks like a few grains of rice at first, but at the end, it turns out to be an astronomical number. After a month, there will be at least hundreds of millions of grains of rice. According to our country's grain harvest, there have not been so many in several years. So. , can’t borrow it.”
Mr. Di nodded, smiled and continued to ask: "But if you don't borrow it, the soldiers will invade the territory, what about it?"
Xiao Yueyue spoke eloquently: "If Meng Yuan is really hit by the disaster, the national strength will never allow it to last, so they are naturally bluffing. But this is military, let me talk about finance. A tricky method, please ask Meng Messenger Yuan sent someone to count the rice himself, and he couldn’t make a single mistake. There were hundreds of millions of rice, and he would never be able to count them all in his lifetime!”
Lord Earth laughed uncontrollably: "This method of yours is just too petty and arrogant, no doubt like a rogue in the market."
"No matter what method, as long as it can accomplish something, don't you think so?"
"Well, that's right. You've passed this question. I have one more question here. Listen carefully: If I have to fight continuously and cannot make ends meet, how will you solve it if you are the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Xiao Yueye let out a sigh, thought carefully, and said thoughtfully: "Funding war with war can save 40% of expenses, and at the same time, having better troops and simpler administration can also have an effect. In the country, everything from the palace expenses to the salaries of hundreds of officials has been reduced. Mobilize businessmen from all over the country to make donations. Their combined wealth is worth more than several national treasuries. However, taxes cannot be increased. If the people's sentiments are stabilized, taxes may even be reduced."
Mr. Di raised his eyebrows and said, "What I said above is true, but why can't taxes be increased, or even reduced? You know, national finance depends on taxes!"
Xiao Yueye shook her head and said: "The situation is different now and then, so we have to do what is expedient. During the war, every household sent people to join the army to fight. The people lost the labor force at home, and the original harvest would be much less. Coupled with the usual practices, the war When the economy explodes, prices will rise, so people's lives will become very difficult, so taxes must be reduced. What's more, there are many corrupt officials and businessmen who want to make war money, which is what the country needs to focus on. "
"It makes sense, especially the last point. It really hits the root of the problem! It's a pity that I have a vast land and abundant resources, so it's difficult to really do it!"
Xiao Yueye curled her lips disdainfully, "The land is vast and the resources are abundant. Is there such a vast land and abundant resources in China in the previous life?"
"Master Di, there is nothing in this world that you can't do if you don't work hard. The imperial court said that it would start from several aspects such as elections and government decrees, and it might not be possible to eliminate the root causes of these diseases."
Lord Earth, Lord Tian, and Lord Ren exchanged glances, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes: "Oh? What's your clever plan?" (Quanben Novel Website www.QUAbEn-XIAoShUo.com)
