My lord, he always wants to talk about feelings with me

The carriage rattled towards Bu Erxuan in the north of the city. Lu Xun leaned on the soft cushion in the car and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He rested his hands on his legs and thought about something.

After a while, he opened his eyes, moved closer to Jing Yue, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "How are the land tax, commercial tax and salt tax stipulated in the Chu Dynasty?"

Jingyue was taken aback, and immediately understood what Lu Xun meant. He thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "The founding emperor of this dynasty stipulated that the tax should be levied per mu, divided into two times in summer and autumn. It can be paid by local products or exchanged. It is silver. Land tax is divided into civilian land and official land. Official land is five liters and three in five spoons per mu, private land is three in and three in five. Dou Ersheng (note)."

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "As for commercial taxes, they are divided into tariffs and city taxes. Under tariffs, there are labor tariffs, banknote tariffs, door taxes, etc. City taxes include commodity import and export store taxes, house collapse tax , gate tax, etc..."

Jing Yue told Lu Xun about the tax meeting and stopped to think from time to time. While thinking, she turned her fingers repeatedly, her brows were slightly frowned, and the sunlight leaked in from the wind-blown car curtain and fell on the side of his face, casting a knife-like chill on his face. Lie's face was outlined with a heroic spirit.

Lu Xun leaned aside and listened quietly, memorizing while listening, and when Jing Yue finished explaining the taxation, he smiled and said, "It's hard for you to remember so clearly."

Jing Yue pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly. He stretched out his arms to hold Lu Xun tightly in his arms, taught him to rest his legs, pinched Lu Xun's round and white earlobes lightly with his fingers, and sighed: "These taxes are on the yellow books and fish scale charts. There are clear records. The reason why it is difficult to check the account books of various cities and counties is that the local magistrate Cheng Yin will collect a lot of miscellaneous taxes. There is no re-testing, and the missing, extra, and annexed fields are not clear at all, and it is generally as much as the local magistrate reported."

"Take your time, let's just check the accounts of Yingtianfu in Liaodong this time, take them under the knife, and beat the prefects of other cities and counties. When we return to Chang'an, we will talk about land re-testing and tax resetting." Lu Xun smiled. comfort.

He pulled Jingyue's wide sleeves and covered his face, his breath was that person's unique breath, smelling it made people feel at ease, Lu Xun muffled: "I think Ying Tianfu's account will be easy to check, you can check it out tonight. Look how good I am."

"Causing you to suffer with me." Jing Yue put his hand on Lu Xun's belly, rubbed it lightly, and said in a low voice, "I haven't married you yet, so I'll use you as a coolie first."

"What's the matter? Settling accounts is my housekeeping skill, not hard work." Lu Xun pulled down his wide sleeves, revealing a pair of eyes, and he said: "I don't care about the way of finding an official or the way of employing people. I'm not an official, so I'm only responsible for offending people, and you deal with the mess."

Jing Yue chuckled, nodded and said, "Okay."

He lovingly hugged Lu Xun tightly in his arms, kissed for a while, then lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Xun, and said softly: "Axun, after checking the accounts of Yingtianfu in Liaodong, tell me what Jing Jun did to you ,OK?"

Lu Xun's eyes trembled slightly, and Jing Yue's expression was very calm, showing no signs of happiness or anger. This reminded him of the sea before the storm. It seemed to be calm, but the next second it would be full of waves.

What Jingyue said was not a question, but an affirmative sentence. She probably saw something... He sighed inaudibly, and Lu Xun nodded in compromise, "Okay." Okay?There is no cure for the poison attached to bone needles, tell you what can you do?Kill Jing Jun to avenge me, hold me for days to live, or just watch me get poisoned again and again and finally die tragically?

Of course, Lu Xun didn't say these words, he just raised his hand and patted the back of Jing Yue's hand lightly.

Buerxuan is built at the foot of Changbai Mountain. The melted snow from the mountain winds into a small river, flows slowly on the green grass, and finally converges into a clear pool. A wooden bridge is erected beside the pool. Buerxuan is like a bright pearl. , Falling in the middle of the pool, carved beams and painted buildings, high eaves and teeth pecking, quite elegant.

The carriage stopped two or three steps in front of the wooden bridge, Yuan Ren stepped forward and opened the curtain for Jing Yue and Lu Xun, "My lord, we are here."

Jing Yue got out of the carriage first, and then reached out to help Lu Xun. Although it was August, it was still cold at the foot of the snow mountain. Lu Xun put his hands into his sleeves after jumping off the carriage.

"I'm afraid you'll be cold, so I've prepared a cloak for you." Jing Yue glanced at Lu Xun, walked to the side of the carriage, unpacked the bundle, took out a snow-white cloak from inside, put it on Lu Xun, and stretched out his hand Pulling his broken hair back, he turned to look at Yuan Ren, "Master Yuan, let's go."

Yuan Ren took a quick look at the two of them, not sure what was going on in his heart, so he could only walk forward with a smile on his face, and he walked up to the wooden bridge with his clothes in his hands, "Buerxuan's steamed crucian carp is a major feature of Liaodong. Your lord and your lord are lucky tonight."

Jing Yue and Lu Xun walked behind. Hearing this, he smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan, for your concern."

A group of people walked across the wooden bridge, and the sisters leaning on the railing greeted them with smiles. They divided into three groups and surrounded Lu Xun, Jing Yue and Yuan Ren.

With a smile like a flower and a fragrant fragrance, Yuan Ren couldn't hold back his pretended seriousness for a moment. He stretched out his hand and pinched a girl's slender waist, smiling until his eyes narrowed.

Lu Xun pulled away the loach-like girl hanging on his body, and turned to look at Jingyue.

Bu Yao's golden hairpin dazzled people's eyes, Jing Yue was submerged in a cloud of beauties, her complexion was quite cold.After finally walking to Lu Xun's side, there was already a blush on his cheeks.

Lu Xun looked at him and smiled, his brows and eyes crooked, then he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to him, "Here."

"I can't see, why don't you help me?" Jing Yue didn't take off the veil, moved closer, and looked down at him.

"En." Lu Xun didn't shy away from it, and took a handkerchief and wiped Jingyue's face, but the lip marks were not wiped off, but the rouge was evenly spread.

The bright red lip marks were scattered on Jing Yue's face in a mess, and his outline was already cold and hard, so there was a hint of charm in this way.

Lu Xun's eyes flashed, and he raised his eyebrows. He withdrew his hand, looked at Jing Yue, and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's so beautiful, I think..."

"What are you thinking about?" Jing Yue also smiled. He leaned over and breathed softly in Lu Xun's ear, "Go back and play, I will teach you to play with rouge when I go back."

"Aren't you ashamed?" Lu Xun straightened his face, and he poked Jing Yue's forehead lightly with his finger, "What have you been packing in your head all day long?"

The two talked nonsense in a low voice, and ignored those sisters who were sticking to their bodies.After dawdling outside the pavilion for a while, the servant pushed open the bamboo door and invited the three of them in.

The banquet was placed on the second floor, four or five glazed lamps hung on gold hooks, and three golden candlesticks were placed on the table, illuminating the room like daytime, and a tripod incense burner was placed in the east corner of the window, and the two men dressed in thin Sha's sister was kneeling, fanning the fragrance into the room with a feather fan in her hand. There was a large round table on the north side of the hall, which was full of delicacies.

"My lord, my lord, please take your seat." Yuan Ren bowed his hands and saluted, and led the two to sit on the north side, while he himself sat down on the south side.

The banquet started, and my sister came to pour the wine with a flagon. The cup was a luminous cup, and the rouge-colored wine was pouring in the cup, and the aroma was overflowing.

Yuan Ren kept persuading him to drink, but Lu Xun and Jing Yue smiled back.

After a few glasses of wine, Lu Xun felt a little tipsy, so he put down the glasses. He drank a lot of wine on weekdays, and he was really not used to this kind of fine wine in ancient times. He raised his hand to block the sister who was about to pour wine, and shook his forehead shook his head.

Seeing this, Jing Yue raised her hand and put the cup in front of Lu Xun upside down on the table, then grabbed Lu Xun's hand under the table, squeezed it and said softly, "Can't you drink it?"

"I need to check the accounts later, so I can't get drunk." Lu Xun said in a low voice.

Yuan Ren's gaze moved from Lu Xun to Jing Yue, and then from Jing Yue to Lu Xun. He looked at the two of them back and forth for a while, and he understood a little. He smiled slightly, and turned to face his sister who was standing beside him After giving some instructions in a low voice, the sister nodded in agreement, got up and left the room.

After a while, he lifted the bead curtain and came back, holding a wooden box in his hand. Yuan Ren pouted at Jingyue, and the sister brought the wooden box in front of Jingyue and Lu Xun.

"Bada—" the golden lock opened, revealing the items inside, Lu Xun gave a "tsk", and Jing Yue raised his eyebrows.

"It's all small gadgets, for adults and princes to have fun." Yuan Ren bowed his hands.

"The world is rich, where merchants gather." Jing Yue flipped the wooden box casually, then closed the lid, looked up at Yuan Ren, with a smile on his lips, but the smile didn't seep into his eyes, and he said: " The magistrate has managed Liaodong well, and now it is getting richer."

Yuan Ren said with a smile: "My lord's praise, the lowly position is just the food and clothing of the people in Liaodong. How can it be called management? The people in Liaodong are simple..."

Before the official words were finished, he was interrupted by Jing Yue, who sat up straight from the cushion, put his elbows on the table, looked at Yuan Ren, and said unhurriedly: "I also eat about the same amount of wine, my king I also accepted the gift from the adults, and it's time for us to talk about the ledger."

Yuan Ren was taken aback, and he blinked, trying to read a trace of joy, anger, sorrow and joy from Jing Yue's expression, but the other side's face was as calm as water, and he didn't know what he was thinking at all. Yuan Ren pursed his lips and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Jing Yue's gaze made her feel guilty, and her palms were sweating.

Seeing this, Cao Jian, the butler of Yingtian Mansion who was standing aside, clenched his fists and coughed on his mouth. Yuan Ren came back to his senses, rubbed his palms on the lapel of his clothes, and flirted with Jing Yue, "Don't worry, my lord. There are still good things to honor you."

"Is there anything else?" Jing Yue raised her eyebrows, leaned back on the cushion calmly, and turned the black jade wrench in her hand repeatedly, "Master Yuan, don't worry."

Yuan Ren clapped his hands, and there was a rush of footsteps outside, presumably the waiter was going to deliver a message.

After half a cup of tea, ten guards came in one after another. They formed a team in twos, carrying a pole on their shoulders, and on each pole was a heavy copper box. There were five in total, stacked neatly on Jingyue. In front of Lu Xun.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Quickly open it to the prince and your lord!" Yuan Ren scolded.

The guard got the order and opened the lock. There were a few "clicks", and the pearly light overflowed, illuminating the room brightly. The sisters and children who were kneeling at the side all stared straight at the five boxes.

Sands, white strips, pearls, glass, and high-quality medicinal materials, the happiness in the world is nothing but these.

A needle could be heard in the room, and no one spoke, even holding their breath.

In the end, it was Lu Xun who broke the silence. He clapped his hands and laughed, "Oh, it's terrible, it's over now."

"What?" Yuan Ren didn't understand Lu Xun's words, and thought that the two of them would definitely not check the accounts because of the five boxes of treasures, so he just raised his eyebrows and smiled, "A little gift is not a respect, and I hope your lord and the prince will accept it. Today's events are only known to us, we can't finish them..."

"I mean, Mr. Yuan, you are finished." Lu Xun shook his index finger. He didn't turn his head to look at Jing Yue, but the tacit understanding formed between the two of them let him know that Jing Yue was in a very bad mood at the moment and would kill someone. kind.

In order to prevent Jing Yue from killing Yuan Ren, he stretched out his hand to caress the back of Jing Yue's bruised hand, looked at Yuan Ren and said, "My lord is really courageous, these five boxes... ..”

Just as she was talking, Jing Yue raised her hand and flicked her sleeves, and pushed all the cups on the table to the ground.

The sharp and piercing sound exploded in the ears, and before the lingering sound faded away, there was a sound of armor colliding outside. Qi Wuji was wearing an iron armor, holding a big knife weighing more than 100 jins, and stepped on it one by one.
