Princess Fortune

Chapter 55
After reading it once, he carefully explained the meaning, and then read it again.So let Xu Tang go by himself.

Xu Tang was working hard by himself, while Liu Ziqian came to teach on the other side.

What Liu Ziqian wanted to talk to Ye Qingshi today was how the household department works.And what is not visible on the surface.

Liu Ziqian is really capable of being a teacher.

Even Xu Tang could understand such a simple and profound talk.

I listened to it without even realizing it.

Ye Qingshi frowned after hearing what Liu Ziqian said about the Ding tax, "The Ding tax is so heavy, do the common people have any complaints?"

When Liu Ziqian mentioned this matter, he sighed softly: "The rich places are okay, but those places that are a little bit poorer are miserable."

Ye Qingshi nodded: "What if the tax is lowered?"

"Then the national treasury may not be able to make ends meet." Liu Ziqian said solemnly, "At that time, if there is a war—"

Ye Qingshi frowned: "But that's the case, the people can't live and work in peace, so what should they do?"

When Xu Tang heard this, his heart moved slightly, but he remembered something.

Ye Qingshi once quarreled with the Queen Mother about Ding Tax.

Liu Ziqian himself also has thoughts on this matter, "This matter is a dilemma. We can only strike a delicate balance. Or simply overturn the current tax law and re-enact it. But if this is the case, it will be a nerve-wracking bone."

"Especially the household department is now in the hands of the queen mother, so it is even more difficult to move."

Liu Ziqian sighed again: "We can only see if His Majesty will change in the future when he grows up."

Ye Qingshi smiled: "There will definitely be changes."

The two talked for an hour before Liu Ziqian left.

Xu Tang just asked, "Master, you want to redefine the tax."

"Yeah." Ye Qingshi's eyes twitched for a moment, and finally hid it: "I just don't know if there is a chance."

Xu Tang lowered his eyes and chuckled, "There must be a chance. Don't worry, young master."

"Liu Ziqian will go back to the capital in a few days. It will be about the fifteenth day of the eighth month." Ye Qingshi then said, with a slight curve on his lips: "It depends on how far he can go this time. "

It cannot be used by him.

Xu Tang said firmly: "This time, he must be a successful official."

Ye Qingshi glanced at Xu Tang, suddenly smiled and said, "I'm a little curious, how did you find out."

Xu Tang shook his head: "The secret must not be revealed."

Ye Qingshi didn't ask any more questions, and only mentioned yesterday's incident: "Cuiping did this, Madam must be interested."

Xu Tang wasn't too worried about this matter, "Master will definitely not let Madam do anything to me."

Ye Qing laughed suddenly, "Forget it, you go back and get ready, we will go to the state capital in the afternoon."

Xu Tang had never traveled so far before.

When I went out for the first time, I just felt that everything was novel.

Because she is now the maidservant next to Ye Qingshi, she is in the same carriage as Ye Qingshi.

Speaking of it, Ye Qingshi is also low-key and extravagant.

Although living in a secluded village, the food and clothing are all exquisite.

Just talking about the carriage, it looks like nothing from the outside, it's just bigger, and even the sign of the Ye family is vague, but inside, it's decorated like a small house.

It's not a problem for Ye Qing to read and sleep in it.

When serving Ye Qing, there was Lu Ran.

It seems that Lvran is used to going out, which is not unusual at all.

At the beginning, Xu Tang felt that it was a bit novel, but after a long time of bumping, he lost it.

But as soon as she entered Fucheng, she still couldn't help being shocked by the prosperity.

Ye Qingshi's carriage went directly to Ye's house in the state capital.

Naturally, the inside of the house was also cleaned properly, as soon as Ye Qingshi passed by, the servants were waiting at the door.

Once settled down, it fell into the night.

Ye Qingshi was also tired, so he ordered everyone to go to bed early, and only set to go out tomorrow.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Ye Qing led Xu Tang and another servant called Cheng Feng out.

Ye Qingshi was visiting a Zen master.

Speaking of which, this Zen master is also very famous, but it is rare to see him, either wandering in the clouds, or meditating behind closed doors.

Ye Qing passed by and was led into the deepest courtyard of the temple, where Zen Master Yunkong lived in seclusion.

The reason why Zen Master Yunkong is famous is that the first emperor had a relationship with him.

It is said that Zen master Yunkong can tell fortunes, and can seek good luck and avoid bad luck.

The small courtyard is full of Zen.

Zen Master Yunkong, dressed in a coarse cloth monk's robe, is watering the flowers.

The gardenias were in full bloom, and there was a fragrance in the yard.

When he saw Ye Qing, Zen Master Yunkong put down the gourd ladle and clasped his hands together: "Young Master Ye. Long time no see."

"Come here today, and ask the Zen master for a cup of tea." Ye Qingshi casually sat down on the stone bench.

Standing by the side, Xu Tang couldn't help but look around curiously.

Little did they know, Zen Master Yunkong was also looking at her.

Xu Tang smiled slightly as a greeting.

Zen Master Yunkong said softly, "Young lady's face is very good."

Xu Tang subconsciously raised his hand and touched it: "Really?"

"It's just bad luck." Zen Master Yunkong sighed again, and then looked at Ye Qingshi: "Where did Young Master Ye accept such a maid?"

Ye Qingshi only said: "She sold herself to me."

"That's a rare origin." Zen Master Yunkong nodded repeatedly, smiling all the time, looking very kind.

"I heard Zen master came to Beijing a few days ago? How about it, have you ever entered the palace?" Ye Qingshi asked with a smile, pouring tea from the teapot.

Zen Master Yunkong lowered his eyes and smiled slightly: "Who does the young master want to ask?"

"You know it." Ye Qingshi deliberately guessed the code word with him.

Zen Master Yunkong smiled and shook his head: "Master, he is still doing well now. It's just that his legs can't stand up anymore. This is fate. One pair of legs, one life, what's not worth it?"

Ye Qing was a little sad: "Yes. It is worthwhile to exchange a pair of legs for a life."

Xu Tang guessed who it was.

They were talking about King Fu, who had disabled legs.

King Fu is Ye Qingshi's older brother, the former prince.

It's just that before ascending to the throne of God, his legs were disabled due to falling off the horse, and the imperial physician failed to arrive in time, so he was completely disabled.

"By the way, he has something he wants me to bring to the young master." Zen Master Yunkong went into the house to get something, and when he came out again, he had an extra Moyu brand in his hand.

"Fu Wang said that this is what he promised the young master. Now, it is finally done."

Ye Qingshi took it, twitched it in his hand for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Then I will take it away. Thank you, Zen Master."

Then he asked again: "The old concubine, is she okay?"

Zen Master Yunkong's expression paused, and there was a moment of complicated expression on his face: "I'm afraid it's fate."

Ye Qingshi was taken aback for a moment, and then he could only slowly say: "My condolences to Zen Master."
