Dajin royal family

Chapter 273 Tempting Each Other (Thanks to Shenghua Tianyu for the reward)

"That's why, in Ning Qing's humble opinion, the people in Liaodong and the three counties outside the Guan can be properly allowed to open up new fields by themselves, and the imperial court should appropriately exempt them from some taxes. In exchange, young and middle-aged men in the three counties outside the Guan will all join Always prepare government soldiers to prevent chaos on the frontier."

Pei Mansion, above the middle hall.

A handsome young man talked about how to govern Liaodong County.

In the middle, Pei Ju and Jiang Chengxiao sat on the left and right, and Pei Yun knelt and sat in the lower position, watching Jiang Chengxiao's reaction from time to time.

To his disappointment, so far, Jiang Chengxiao still had a faint smile on his face, nothing changed.

This composure made Pei Yun secretly amazed.

"Your Highness, Ning Qing is finished."

Pei Ningqing bowed to Jiang Chengxiao.

Pei Ju nodded, satisfied with his grandson's performance.He turned to look at Jiang Chengxiao, smiled and said, "Your Highness, do you have any advice?"

"I can't talk about advice, but I have a question to ask Brother Pei first."

Jiang Chengxiao replied indifferently.

Pei Ju invited him here today, but he was at a loss.

Originally, he was supposed to stay at home with his wife and children, then pack up his things and prepare to go south.

But Pei Ju suddenly invited him, which made him feel very strange.Because he has no plans to contact anyone other than the Zheng family.

However, he also wanted to know why the Pei family wanted him.

"Please enlighten me, Your Highness." Pei Ningqing said respectfully.

"it is good."

Jiang Chengxiao said slowly: "Brother Pei just said that in exchange, young and middle-aged men from Liaodong and the three counties outside the Guan must join the Fubing, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, let me ask you, Liaodong has been in the frontier all year round, bordering the grassland tribes, a large part of the people have been plundered by the grassland tribes, and all the males in the family have died."

"If you do what you say, there will be a result."

After a pause, Jiang Chengxiao said slowly: "Don't worry about being few, but about unevenness."

"Don't worry about scarcity but inequality?" Pei Ningqing was a little puzzled.

He himself thinks this method is very good, and it is completely suitable for implementation in counties and counties along the frontier.

"Your Highness, please clarify."

Pei Yun shook his head, he had already figured it out, his grandson was still young and inexperienced.

In fact, Jiang Chengxiao had already told him the answer, but he didn't realize it.

Jiang Chengxiao chuckled, as expected, he was still a young man who sat and talked.

This is inexperienced.

"Those who have males in their families can naturally enjoy the imperial court's gift of exempting them from taxes, but if there are no males in their families, what should they do?"

"Nature can also be enjoyed." Pei Ning said innocently.

Pei Ju lowered his head and drank a cup of tea, silently making up his mind that this time he must put Ning Qing next to Jiang Chengxiao.

"In this way, isn't it unfair to those families with males?" Jiang Chengxiao asked with a smile.

Pei Ningqing froze in place.

Yes, those who have males can enjoy it with peace of mind, but if there are no males in the family, from the perspective of ordinary people, it really shouldn't be.

Especially, after implementing his method.

"Ningqing Menglang, thank you for your advice, Your Highness."

Pei Ningqing blushed, quite embarrassed.

Jiang Chengxiao waved his hand, "You are very nice, I appreciate your attitude."

"Some people find their own shortcomings, and they won't admit it, because they feel ashamed and humiliated to admit their mistakes in their own capacity."

"But some people are very good. When he finds out his mistakes, he admits immediately, no matter whether he will change in the future, first of all, his attitude towards things is very good."

"And you are the latter. And I also hope that you can make a change."

Jiang Chengxiao looked at Pei Yun and said with a smile, "Lord Pei has a good grandson."

Pei Ningqing is the grandson of Pei Yun's family.

"Haha, thank you Your Highness for your appreciation." Pei Yun smiled and cupped his hands.

In his heart, he was secretly surprised, this Duke of Langya was really different, he felt that this way of distinguishing people was a bit new, but after thinking about it, it was quite reasonable.

Pei Ningqing saluted again, and then walked to the side to sit with him.

Up to now, Jiang Chengxiao hasn't figured out what kind of medicine is sold in Pei Ju's gourd, but he is not in a hurry, just wait slowly, since they invited him, they must be in a hurry.

"Your Highness, my grandson, who just came to Luoyang, has not yet become an official."

Pei Yun pointed at Pei Ningqing.

Have you seen Qiongtu Dagger? It turns out that there are a lot of detours, and I still send someone to him.

But after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, because he had already paid enough attention to Pei Yuanyan, and it was impossible for the Pei family not to know about it, so why did they give it to him?
Is it implying something?
"Oh, that's a pity. Yuan Yan told me earlier that there are many brothers in the Wenxi clan who are more talented than him. When they were guarding the border for a few years, they often felt ashamed that they didn't study hard by my side."

Jiang Chengxiao responded calmly.

Pei Ju and Pei Yun looked at each other, as if they understood each other's meaning.

His Highness really didn't see what they were thinking, otherwise he wouldn't have said such ambiguous words.

Pei Ju scolded with a smile: "That brat, Wenxi's ethnology treats no discrimination, he gave up the opportunity himself, and it's too late to regret it now. But to be honest, neither Ning Qing nor Ning Fan is the most talented."

"Oh, is there anyone in the Wenxi Pei family who is more talented than these two?"

This surprised Jiang Chengxiao. Although Pei Ningqing's thoughts seemed a little immature, it is undeniable that he is a good seedling, and he will be a good helper if he is cultivated well.

Moreover, the fact that Pei Yun could let him come out to see him was enough to show how much the Pei family valued Pei Ningqing.

Pei Yun replied: "There is indeed one person, but it's my daughter's family. It's a pity."

"That's it." Jiang Chengxiao nodded.

Pei Ju suddenly said: "The old man remembered one thing. This time, Niang Xuan came to Luoyang with Ning Qing. She once read His Highness's "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" and liked it very much. She has always wanted to meet His Highness. I wonder if His Highness would like to see you?"

"Is it."

Jiang Chengxiao responded with a smile, but in fact his heart was already in a mess, and he couldn't figure it out.Could it be that Pei Ju was really full and had nothing to do, so he invited himself to the door just to chat?
He was anxious, so were Pei Ju and Pei Yun.

Some things really can't be said explicitly, only implied.

"Go invite Miss Xuan."

Without waiting for Jiang Chengxiao to agree, Pei Yun greeted the servant.

Up to now, Jiang Chengxiao can only hold his breath and slowly watch what tricks the Pei brothers are playing.

Not long after, a girl named Tingting, who was wearing a pink and white chest-length skirt, walked into the room gracefully. Her face was very beautiful, and she looked like a lady.

"See Your Highness." Pei Xuan'er bowed gracefully.

"Miss Pei is polite." Jiang Chengxiao responded with a smile.

Next, under Pei Ju's guidance, Jiang Chengxiao and Pei Xuan'er had a casual chat.During this process, Jiang Chengxiao discovered something very interesting, that Pei Xuan'er's literary talents were not as good as Pei Ningqing's at all.

What do they mean?
lie to yourself?
When Pei Ju saw that the fire was coming, he suddenly said: "I will tell Your Highness, this old man intends to marry Xuanniang to His Highness, but I don't know Your Highness."

Ok?
Jiang Chengxiao was stunned for a moment, Pei Ju was not joking, Pei Xuan'er was his direct granddaughter, how could the aristocratic family want his direct granddaughter to be his concubine, the people present would not know that he already has a regular wife.

What does Pei Ju want to do?
At this time, Pei Yun said: "Oh, the world is not peaceful now, if we can find a good support for Xuanniang, it will also make big brother feel more at ease."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao suddenly paused.

He seemed to understand something.

To verify his idea, he looked into Pei Yun's eyes.

Pei Yun's eyes were full of anticipation, and he looked at Pei Ju, who also showed a meaningful smile.

Interesting!

"Aren't the two adults afraid of being entrusted to others?"

Jiang Chengxiao looked at the girl sitting on her knees, blushing with shame, bowing her head and not speaking.

Pei Ju and Pei Yun looked at each other, the message was finally conveyed!

"Your Highness was joking, why would you trust someone who is not human? We are very sincere, and His Highness's grandfather must be very happy." Pei Ju said with a smile.

Jiang Chengxiao was surprised and said: "Oh, my grandfather also knew?"

"Of course Zheng Gong knows." Pei Yun said.

"Even so, that blue sparrow"

"I don't agree!"

Pei Xuan'er suddenly made a noise, interrupting Jiang Chengxiao's words, and then trotted out with her skirt in her hands.

What a joke, she already knew about Langya County King marrying a wife, and asking her to be his concubine is a good idea!
