The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 409 The Story of the Charcoal Seller (Please Complete Order)
She began to interrogate her heart.

Do you really want to marry Bai Gui?
In the past, because Bai Gui was her benefactor, "promising with her body" was the best way for her to repay her kindness. For ordinary women, fame and integrity may be very precious, and it is not impossible to choose death in order to keep integrity.

But for a monk like her, fame is not worthless, but compared with immortality, she is willing to give up this little thing.

When the time is long enough, the grievances with mortals are just a small wave that is difficult to appear in the vast memory.

Tomb-sweeping day, on the West Lake, it is impossible to say that she fell in love with Bai Gui at first sight.There are two reasons why she wholeheartedly wants to marry Bai Gui, one is to repay her kindness, and the other is to use this to transform her calamity of enlightenment into a catastrophe of love.

Although the calamity of love is difficult to overcome, it is much easier than other calamities.

She planted a seed of love for Bai Gui in her heart.

Falling in love with Bai Gui is inevitable.

At this moment, Bai Gui used Fuxi's divine power to suppress the love in her sexuality, the love disappeared temporarily, the mirror shined brightly, all illusions were disillusioned, and she saw the real self.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, can you accompany the slave family for a walk outside?"

she said softly.

After stripping away layers of illusions of love, Bai Suzhen doesn't know what kind of feelings she has for Bai Gui in her heart.If it is said that she is still crazy in love, that is impossible, how can she be crazy in love with a mortal like a "fairy god".But if it is said that there is no emotion, it is probably false.

So, she decided to go out for a walk.

It was deep winter.

There was a light snow last night.

The air is cool.

This private house is next to the market in Chang'an.

At this time, Chang'an was no longer as prosperous as it was in the Tang Dynasty, and only ruins remained in the Tang imperial city.In the market, there are few people, and occasionally you can see an old charcoal seller who sells animal charcoal.

Bai Gui is the king of Qin, and he has personal guards to protect him when he travels.

The guards scolded passers-by on the side of the road to avoid them.

This is to prevent assassins.

Whether you love the people or not is not reflected at this moment.

The charcoal seller couldn't escape.

The cart it was pulling turned over on the side of the street, and the animal charcoal in the coal basket was scattered all over the ground.

Bai Suzhen frowned.

She has always been kind and generous, with a benevolent heart.It is precisely because of this kind of heart that Li Shan's old mother accepted him as a disciple and devoted himself to practicing.

She stepped forward to help the old charcoal seller collect animal charcoal.

The old charcoal seller saw the fairy-like figure approaching, and helped him pick up the fallen animal charcoal. He bowed repeatedly and apologized to Bai Suzhen.

At this time, Bai Gui also ordered his personal guards to help the old charcoal seller to fix the cart again.

A small incident that happens in Chang'an from time to time.

Everyone has a different mind.

"The old man thanked His Royal Highness King Qin, and thanked His Royal Highness King Qin for relieving him of the crime of shocking the old man."

The charcoal seller said with lingering fear.

Bai Gui remained silent.

The personal guard scolded and told the old charcoal seller to leave quickly and not to disturb Wang Jia.

The old charcoal seller pulled the cart, and quickly hid in the street on the other side, and went to another place to shout.

Bai Gui, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing continued to walk on the street.

It's just that Bai Suzhen frowned, and after walking for a while, she finally couldn't help the doubt in her heart, and stepped forward to ask: "Mr. Bai, although my family lives in Gusu, when I was in West Lake last time, I heard the boatman tell you Jia is a well-known benevolent person in Lin'an, and you even do good deeds from time to time. Even poor people like boatmen can talk to you..."

"But why..."

She paused, a little puzzled.

A large part of the reason why she was willing to plant love in Bai Gui was that Bai Gui had a very good reputation in Lin'an. Such a person, even if he planted love, he would not worry about what he paid.

But in the scene just now, Bai Gui was very indifferent.

If she hadn't helped the charcoal seller to pick up animal charcoal, neither Bai Gui nor his personal guards would have made a move.

Bai Gui smiled, but didn't answer.

The guard beside him, Chen Ce, one of the thirteen passers-by, asked Bai Gui for instructions, and replied: "Little lady, do you know a word? What is it... Absolute sage and abandon wisdom, the people will benefit a hundred times."

"You stepped forward to help this old charcoal seller. It seemed like you were helping, but how many bows did the old man bow to when he got help from a noble man like you? How many salutes did he make?"

"My general didn't directly help the old charcoal seller, but look at the clothes this old charcoal seller is wearing. Although it is not silk, it is enough to keep warm."

"Look at his appearance again, there is still flesh on his cheeks, and his face is devoid of hunger."

"This... is my general's kind deed!"

Chen Ce said slowly.

Although he was originally just a small soldier of the Xiang Army, he didn't know much about writing.But if you are close to Zhu, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black. After following Bai Gui for a long time, the deep meaning of some behaviors gradually became clear.

To make soldiers work hard, not only must there be the most basic requirement of sufficient food and salary, but also the general's personal charm.

And this is exactly where Bai Gui's charm lies.

Since the previous wars, nearly half of the thirteen warriors had been killed or injured, but these warriors still followed Bai Gui because they saw something different from other generals in Bai Gui.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the remaining high-ranking generals in the army are the middle and high-level generals in the army. The casualties are the injuries when they have not risen. The middle and high-level generals in China are not easy to be killed or injured.

"Abandon the sage and abandon the wisdom, the benefits of the people will be multiplied..."

Bai Suzhen suddenly understood.

The kind deeds she does are small acts of kindness, small acts of kindness that can be directly seen by others.But Bai Gui made a national policy to restore people's power, and he did great good.Although these great benevolences were invisible and intangible, in fact, they were far more important than the small benevolence she did.

A national policy that benefits all people.

Compared with Bai Gui, her good deeds pale in comparison.

Although it is said that goodness does not distinguish between big and small, in fact, there is a reputation in the bottom of my heart.

Similarly, she also understood why Bai Gui didn't directly help the charcoal seller.It's very simple. Although Bai Gui had an official status in the past, he was only a low-level official. It was no big deal to directly help the people.But now Bai Gui is the King of Qin, and every move has far-reaching influence.

She helped the charcoal seller, and the charcoal seller bowed to her, a figure like a fairy concubine, but if Bai Gui, the majestic King of Qin, ended up, it would not only be limited to bowing and saluting.

"Poor clothes are bare, worrying about charcoal and cheapness, wishing the weather is cold."

"Miss Bai, after Bai Letian wrote this poem, will the charcoal sellers disappear? The nobles in Chang'an need to keep warm, and this is profitable, so there are charcoal sellers."

"The only thing this king can do is to pay less taxes to such people."

Bai Gui shook his head and said.

"Why just less exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes instead of full exemption?"

"There are not many charcoal sellers in Chang'an, so how much can we have if we collect their taxes..."

Xiaoqing interjected.

Although she may not have much sympathy for these charcoal sellers, logically speaking, since they have benevolence in their hearts, the charcoal sellers can't collect any taxes, so it's better to be exempted.

Seeing this, Chen Ce wanted to go back again, but for a while, he couldn't think of any good words.

Of course he understood that King Qin must have deep meaning in this regard.

But this deep meaning, he was a little confused.

"Why is the charcoal seller an old man?"

"It's because of the low profit. If I abolish miscellaneous taxes in my administration, the low profit will become a profitable thing, and the charcoal seller will make less money because of it. Therefore, the tax can be reduced, but it cannot be cancelled."

Bai Gui replied smoothly.

With his knowledge and extensive knowledge, dealing with political affairs is easy.But his wonderful articles, in the eyes of ordinary people, will inevitably feel obscure.

One question and one answer.

Bai Suzhen looked at Bai Gui's beautiful eyes brighter and brighter.

She seemed to understand her own mind.
