Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

Chapter 46 The Queen Mother is immortal (46)

Although Bai Sheng had long expected that her grandson would not be able to persist for long, she really did not expect that this guy could not persist for two days and two nights. He only lasted three meals in total. The next night, I lifted the desk and went to the catering station to find something to eat.

The people from the Baisheng sect could not stop Emperor Jianyuan with at most two words of advice or mention of the bet, let alone the people in the catering prison.

So the end result is.

Less than twenty-four hours passed.

Emperor Jianyuan broke his bet on his own.

By the time he finished his food and was full, Bai Sheng had already received the news and arrived:
  "Although Aijia guessed that you might not be able to bear it, Aijia also didn't expect that you wouldn't be able to bear it for even a month. No, you couldn't bear it for even ten days, so the situation should be over now. It’s very obvious, don’t tell the Ai family that you are going to break the promise!”

"Tell me, should you compensate the Ai family for 6 billion, or should you eat and drink enough and go to the Ai family to hear about tax law reform?"

Although Emperor Jianyuan was a little resentful of himself, why he couldn't hold it back and why he was so out of control, he couldn't do anything to directly break the contract. At this time, he was thinking crazily in his mind about why he was so out of control and whether it was his imperial grandmother. Is there something wrong with the food you feed him?
  And whether to pay 6 billion in compensation or obey the reform.

After a long time, he was unwilling to hold back a sentence:

"Excuse me, Imperial Grandma, are you sure you haven't tampered with the food you gave me? Ordinary people can really only eat so much. Why are wild vegetables so unpalatable?"

Bai Sheng was very surprised at first, and looked at Emperor Jianyuan for a while, as if he were looking at a strange species, and then said in a rather unkind tone: "How ridiculous!

The Ai family used to hear jokes. Two people were discussing how rich the royal family was. One said that the emperor must be able to eat corn for every meal, and the other said that the queen would have to use a golden hoe to farm the land.

It can be seen that common people cannot imagine the life of the royal family.

Now you have let the Aijia see how they don’t know the sufferings of the people. Do the Aijia need to add something to your food? You may not know, but the Aijia know very well that when people are hungry, they only want to fill it up. With a full stomach, I have no energy to think about anything else.

You feel out of control.

It's because you've never been hungry before.

The people did not lose control because they were used to being hungry. They were so hungry every day, and they never had enough or good food, so they were always so hungry.

If you don’t believe it, you can eat nothing in the future and starve yourself for a day or two. See if you have the mind to think about national affairs when you are extremely hungry, and whether you will eat and drink out of control like you did today.

As for why wild vegetables are so unpalatable.

The wild vegetables you used to eat were all the freshest and most tender leaves picked in the season. It is impossible for you to eat those that are out of season, but ordinary people do not have such luxury as you.

As long as the wild vegetables can be eaten, the poison will not kill anyone.

They will keep eating.

Wild vegetables are out of season and old, so they are naturally bitter and astringent. You just don’t know it. Don’t always use your ignorance to guess and suspect that the Ai family wants to harm you.

That's all, I'll give you a night to think about it carefully.

Tell Aijia tomorrow...

Which way do you choose to fulfill your bet? "

Although he was very angry, Bai Sheng talked for a while and felt a little helpless. Because Emperor Jianyuan didn't know the sufferings of the people, he couldn't be completely blamed. He had no chance to contact them, and he had never even been to Chang'an City.

Chang'an is the richest place in Daqian. No matter what kind of country it is, if even the people in the capital cannot make a living, then the country cannot survive at all. And no matter how the minister reports on the disaster in a certain place, he cannot write it in too detail. At most, he can only mention a few sentences that the people cannot make a living and starve to death everywhere. , but for people who have never seen it with their own eyes, these adjectives are very abstract, and it is difficult for them to construct a specific picture in their minds. In many cases, words are indeed far less shocking than pictures, let alone Image.

In the future, many people will feel that certain words bring them deep feelings. It may not be because of the power of words, but because they have seen similar scenes in some movies, TV series, or documentaries.

So when I saw those words.

The ability to construct corresponding images in your mind.

Just as it is difficult for people who have never been hungry to understand how uncomfortable it is to be hungry, it is also difficult for people who have never been exposed to certain concrete pictures to construct pictures through words.

So Emperor Jianyuan is like this now.

It's all a matter of environment and experience.

Regardless of how Emperor Jianyuan thought about it and whether he went back to negotiate with his ministers, Bai Sheng immediately sent someone to find painters who had learned line drawing and sketching techniques and were specialized in book illustrations after returning to Changxin Palace, and asked them to follow his own instructions. Requirements, draw a map of the suffering of the people.

Generally speaking, it is the appearance of the people who are skinny and emaciated, the misery of selling their children and daughters during the disaster, the appearance of starvation in the fields after the real disaster, and the appearance of the rampant plague. As for the more cruel things, Bai Sheng finally restrained himself appropriately and did not let those painters completely Draw it out.

Although Emperor Jianyuan's psychological endurance should be okay, after all, Emperor Hui had learned from the previous experience of Emperor Hui who was scared to death by Empress Lu being a human pig, so of course he had to restrain himself.

After all, those are all realistic line drawings or even sketches, so it would be inappropriate if something goes wrong.

Bai Sheng knew very well that it was unlikely that she would let Emperor Jianyuan inspect the world, and even if Emperor Jianyuan inspected the world.

Nor may we be able to see the true suffering of the people.

So she could only settle for the next best thing and ask the painter to draw some corresponding pictures for him to see. After all, the specific effect was better than writing an admonishment article or directly describing it verbally. Anyone with some conscience should be able to see those pictures. Be compassionate and compassionate.

Ordinary people are already having a hard time just living.

How can I bear to continue to squeeze!
  ……

As soon as the court meeting ended the next day, Emperor Jianyuan came to see Bai Sheng and asked if he could first listen to the so-called tax law reform, and then consider whether to choose the former to compensate 6 billion, or the latter to agree to the reform.

Yes, he was worried about money, but he was also worried that Bai Sheng's tax law reform was actually rubbish. If he adopted it, he would have a greater impact, so he wanted to hear it first before considering it.

If it is really unacceptable.

Then let's compensate.

After all, he couldn't afford to be embarrassed by his grandmother's debt collection.

At this time, Bai Sheng was not in a hurry to express his opinions on tax law reform. Instead, he took out dozens of pictures of people's suffering that the painters had driven out overnight and handed them to him:
  "It's not urgent, just take a look at these first.

The Aijia knows that you don’t know the suffering of the people, so you have no chance to know, and it is impossible for you to go directly to the disaster area to understand the situation, so let’s take a look at these pictures first. This picture is already very convergent, and the real situation will only be worse than the picture. It doesn't look better than in the picture, if you look carefully.

After reading this, Ai Jia will talk about tax law reform. "

　If a certain text says that something has the head of a cow, the tail of a pig, and the belly of a snake, and the person who reads this text has neither seen a pig nor a cow, let alone what a snake looks like, then he or she It's hard to construct a picture in my mind, I just feel baffled.

　　We find a certain passage of text touching, probably because we are more knowledgeable than the ancients. Even if we have not seen it with our own eyes, we can still see it through pictures and videos.
