Monument Yangmen

Chapter 778
As the merchants left the South Congress Hall, news about Kunpeng's bones being sold at sky-high prices quickly spread.

The sky-high price of 3000 million tons of grain is enough to attract everyone's attention.

From the high-ranking officials to the common people, I am afraid they will all notice it.

The speed of its spread is far faster than the speed at which Kunpeng's skeleton was born.

In contrast, the Kunpeng skeleton is something that is out of reach for many people, especially ordinary people.

At most, after dinner, three or five of them get together and use it as a topic of conversation, blowing to each other and listening to music.

However, 3000 million tons of grain is different.

Especially in this food shortage season.

The people must be eager to pay attention to this matter.

Yang Qi was the last one to leave the South Congress Hall.

Because he sat in the South Congress until late at night.

During this period, Peng Pai guarded the door and did not allow anyone to disturb him.

On the moonlight.

Yang Qi walked out of the gate of the South Congress Hall.

Outside the door, Kou Zhun led a group of officials waiting quietly for him.

Yang Qi acted as if he didn't see them, he raised his head calmly, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said a word to Peng Pai behind him.

"Let's adjust it to [-]%..."

After leaving this sentence, Yang Qi started to walk towards the camp.

Kou Zhun and the others looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of Yang Qi's words.

But Peng Pai understood the meaning of Yang Qi's words.

The meaning of Yang Qi's words is very simple. He just increased the number of monks in the temples of the South Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom, which was previously agreed in the wing room, from a sharp reduction of [-]% to [-]%.

"promise!"

Peng Pai bowed and agreed.

Then he quickly caught up with Yang Qi's footsteps.

Kou Zhun and the others were taken aback for a moment, and then chased after him.

When Kou Zhun and others chased him to the camp, Yang Qi entered the camp early and asked Peng Pai to guard the door.

Kou Zhun and others wanted to go in, but they were stopped by Peng Pai.

"Your Majesty has an order, it's getting late, everyone go back to rest, and talk about business tomorrow. Kou Zhun stay..."

Hearing this, a group of officials bowed their hands at Kou Zhun and left one after another.

Wait until everyone leaves.

Peng Pai let him go, allowing Kou Zhun to enter the camp.

Kou Zhun did not find Yang Qi's figure in the front yard or hall of the camp, and he did not find Yang Qi's figure until he reached the flower hall in the backyard.

Yang Qiyi was wearing a white gown, standing in the middle of the flower hall, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, drinking alone.

Kou Zhun walked behind Yang Qi and bowed to salute, "Minister Kou Zhun, see Your Majesty."

Yang Qi didn't look back, but let out a long sigh.

"Hey... Kou Zhun, the bones of Kunpeng were sold at a sky-high price today. 3000 million dans of grain can not only solve the food shortage in my country of Yan, but also allow the people of my country to eat for two years. But why should I Can't you be happy?"

Yang Qi seemed to be talking to an old friend for many years, there was no majesty in his voice, only deep emotion.

Kou Zhun was also taken aback when he heard this.

He realized that Yang Qi was looking for him to chat about family affairs.

Stepping forward slowly, Kou Zhun found that besides the wine glass in Yang Qi's hand, there was another wine glass on the table.

Kou Zhun picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

"Bah~"

Kou Zhun put the empty wine glass on the table and said in a deep voice, "I'm not happy either."

Yang Qi looked at Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice: "Song, Liao, and Yan, there is a food shortage in the three places, and the hungry people eat Guanyin soil to satisfy their hunger, and some people have even secretly started to change their sons to eat.

However, even so, people still starve to death.

Everyone talked about the food shortage, but after seeing the scene in the Nanhui Hall today, the food shortage became a joke. "

"Is there a shortage of food? There is no shortage of food. Not only is there no shortage, but it is even abundant. They are just controlled by merchants, nobles, monks, and Taoist priests. Food shortages are used to buy people's hearts; monks and Taoists also want to use food shortages to preach.

But they never thought about the suffering of the people.Even turning a blind eye to those scenes of changing children and eating.

They were even willing to watch the grain go moldy in the granary, and they never showed kindness and gave alms to the people who were dying of starvation. "

"..."

Kou Zhun said a lot in one breath, and vomited out all the unhappiness in his heart.

At the end, he even growled murderously, "So they should all be killed!"

Yang Qi, who was in a depressed mood, was amused by Kou Zhun's words instead.

"Hahaha... I didn't expect that you, a frail scholar, would have such a strong side."

Kou Zhun said forcefully: "For the sake of the people, I will do whatever it takes."

Yang Qi nodded slowly, "For the sake of the common people, I will do whatever I can... This makes sense."

After a pause, Yang Qi smiled wryly and said, "But these people can't be killed."

"Why?"

"Why?!"

Yang Qi said with emotion: "Without businessmen connecting the north and the south, the country will only become poorer and poorer, and even return to the most primitive state of bartering.

Without the existence of nobles, the common people will lose a way to make progress, and the country will therefore lose its motivation to enter.In the end, no one is willing to work hard for the country, and the final result is that I am a panicked man, and I am reduced to the point where I am bullied by foreigners.

Buddhism and Taoism, on the other hand, represent faith, which can allow those who have reached a point of despair, or those who are too fragile, to have a spiritual sustenance, which can lead people to be good.

Therefore, their existence is indispensable. "

What Yang Qi said would be a big fallacy in future generations.

But right now, that's a wise saying.

The era is different, the social system is different, and the conditions of governance are also different.

Hearing Yang Qi's words, Kou Zhun said unwillingly, "Are we going to have nothing to do with them?"

Yang Qi shook his head and said: "No, no, we are the ones in charge of this country. In this country, no one can make us bow to them. Only everyone bows to us.

Therefore, it is impossible for us to bow our heads to businessmen, nobles, monks and Taoists.

Man, we can't kill.

But that doesn't mean we have nothing to do with them.

We can police them, guide them.

Let them become people who benefit the common people, instead of becoming pests lying on the common people and sucking blood. "

Kou Zhun heard Yang Qi's words, looked at Yang Qi firmly, and said seriously: "You say, I will do it."

Yang Qi grinned, stretched out a hand, and came to Kou Zhun, "You are indeed the talent I value, and you are the only one who can help me create a bright and bright universe for the people of Yan Kingdom."

Kou Zhun was a little dazed by Yang Qi's suddenly extended hand.

After a while, he hesitantly stretched out his hand and held it with Yang Qi's.

"What can we do?"

"Our goal is...the people do not collect taxes, but the country is self-sufficient."

"This... is this too exaggerated? Since ancient times, I have never heard of a country that is self-sufficient without tax collection."

"As long as we work hard, we will reach this goal one day."

"Hehe... I feel that your story is pure fantasy."

"It's not a fantasy, because the people don't collect taxes, but the country is self-sufficient, I have seen..."

"have you seen?!"

"..."

The two monarchs and ministers, just chatting with each other sentence by sentence.

Under the sky, they are just the two smallest people.

But they carry with them an ambition that even the sky can't hold in this era.

None of their pretended ambitions are for themselves.

In their arms are thousands of Yan people.

They just want the people of Yan to live better, so that they will no longer suffer from poverty and hunger.

……

In the flower hall.

The monarch and his ministers talked a lot.

Drank up nine jars of spirits.

Kou Zhun took off his coat and ran in the backyard in his underwear, yelling about the plan to make the country rich and powerful.

Yang Qi didn't take off his coat, but he was barefoot, smashing wildly in the flower hall.

There were also words yelling in his mouth.

Listen carefully, you can tell that those are Yang Qi's imaginary enemies.

Yang Qi's last memory stays in the part where he wiped out all the enemies blocking his road to a prosperous and powerful Yan country, and laughed with his head up to the sky.

……

The next day.

Yang Qi got up from the bed, rubbed his temples with his knuckles, his headache was about to split.

This is the result of a hangover.

In a daze, Yang Qi shook his head, washed up under the service of the maid, and put on the python robe that symbolized his status as the lord of the Yan Kingdom.

It wasn't until Yang Qi was led to sit at the breakfast table that he woke up.

"Where's Kou Zhun?"

Yang Qi asked Peng Pai who was standing beside him.

The corner of Peng Pai's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice, "Lord Kou is not suitable to go out these few days..."

"Why?"

Yang Qi asked.

Peng Pai muttered for a long time, but he didn't say why.

Finally, he looked at Yang Qi pleadingly, and said in a low voice, "Don't ask me..."

Seeing Peng Pai's pleading face, Yang Qi was slightly taken aback.

This is not Peng Pai's style.

For Peng Pai to show this expression in front of him, it means that Kou Zhun must have something in the scriptures that makes people feel uncomfortable, so it is inconvenient to go out.

Yang Qi didn't get to the bottom of it either, he ordered Peng Pai, "Go and tell Kou Zhun later that he's going into hiding, but Yan's political affairs must not be slack.

Otherwise, I will beat him..."

The corners of Peng Pai's mouth twitched even more.

Seeing that Yang Qi didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, Peng Pai hastened to deal with it: "This subordinate must warn Mr. Kou."

Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, always feeling that Peng Pai's performance today was something tricky.

But instead of continuing to ask questions, he began to eat.

After breakfast, I drank two cups of fragrant tea.

Yang Qi got up and said: "I'll go to the flower hall in the backyard, you go and inform the other officials, and tell them to wait in the hall when they arrive. Call me again when everyone is here."

"His Majesty!"

As soon as I heard that Yang Qi was going to the flower hall.

Peng Pai screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Yang Qi frowned subconsciously, "Surprised, what do you want?"

Peng Pai said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty... what is there to do in this flower hall? You must be tired of wandering around in the flower hall all day long. I heard that Miss Rumeng has opened Changlefang to Hong Kong City .

Changlefang Gangcheng branch officially opened today. As the original founder of Changlefang, don’t you want to go and have a look? "

"Oh?"

Yang Qi was taken aback, and smiled curiously: "That girl Rumeng has actually opened Changle Square to Hong Kong City. Not bad, this girl has a bit of talent for business, and knows how to seize the right time to take advantage of the current land price in Hong Kong City. It is cheap and takes root in the port city. After Yan Kingdom recovers, the port city will become a huge trading port.

By that time, the land price in Hong Kong City will probably skyrocket.

Every Changle workshop opened by that girl is not small.

Presumably, the place occupied in Hong Kong City this time will not be small.

I think this girl is more suitable for real estate than running Changlefang. "

Yang Qi talked a lot.

Peng Pai kept nodding his head and said yes, even when the new word 'real estate' popped out of Yang Qi's mouth, he didn't pursue it.

After Yang Qi finished speaking, Peng Pai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Rumeng does have a talent for business. The Changle Square in Hong Kong City is three times bigger than the Changle Square in Datong Mansion. The decoration is very Luxurious, before opening, it has been called a must-go place by the businessmen stranded in the port city after arriving in the port city.

His Majesty is free at the moment, just able to join in the fun. "

Yang Qi nodded solemnly, "You are right..."

Hearing this, Peng Pai immediately had a bright smile on his face.

"Go to the flower hall in the backyard..."

Who would have thought that the smile on his face hadn't stabilized yet, Yang Qi imprisoned his smile on his face with one sentence, and became extremely stiff.

When Peng Pai came back to his senses, Yang Qi had already strode towards the backyard.

"Your Majesty...you can't go!"

Peng Pai followed closely behind Yang Qi, yelling.

It didn't take long.

From the backyard of the camp, a roar erupted.

"Who did it?"

In the backyard of the camp.

Yang Qi stood in front of the moon gate in the backyard, looking at the devastated backyard, his anger went straight to Xiaohan.

The top of the flower hall was overturned, and broken tiles were scattered all over the place.

Of the four pillars, two were smashed to pieces, and the remaining two were placed in a cross shape and inserted in the flowerbed in the backyard.

The ropes used to tie the pillars are the curtains of the flower hall.

In the flowerbed.

The peach tree Yang Qi relied on when he was mediocre was uprooted, and the first peach blossoms were scattered all over the ground and trampled into the soil.

Dozens of flowers such as chrysanthemums and orchids planted beside the peach trees were all trampled into green mud.

The entire backyard of the camp seemed to have been tortured by a hundred cows.

Yang Qi stared, and asked Peng Pai angrily, "Say! Who did it?"

Peng Pai said in a dilemma: "Subordinate... it's better not to say it..."

Yang Qi roared angrily: "Don't say it? If you don't say it, I'll hang you on that cross until you are willing to say it."

Peng Pai looked at the cross subconsciously, as if thinking of some unsightly scene, he shivered all over.

"The backyard of the camp was all smashed by you!"

Seeing that Yang Qi was about to lose his temper, Peng Pai said these words quickly.

Yang Qi was stunned when he heard the words, then looked at everything in the backyard again, hesitantly said: "What did I do?"

Peng Pai nodded solemnly.

Half of the anger in Yang Qi's heart disappeared in an instant.

He didn't rush forward in anger, and he became much clearer in an instant.

Looking carefully at the means of poisoning in the backyard, he discovered many things that only he can do.

For example, the hall pillars that were hammered to pieces.

For example, the waist-thick wooden pillar was tied into a cross and thrust into the soil abruptly.

For example, the peach blossom tree that was forcibly pulled out with soil and mud.

Another example……

In short, there are so many things, all the details add up, pointing to him.

Ganqing Pengpai has been reluctant to let him go to the backyard, just to wipe his ass.

Now, Yang Qi felt very embarrassed.
