Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 1037 1036: Lobbyist [Please vote]

Shen Tang no longer wanted to say anything about this bad debt.

The experience of Cui Hui's mother can even write a book about rebirth - she made a mistake in her previous life and chose a son-in-law who seemed to be loyal to his duty. In fact, the son-in-law was ambitious and loyal to the vassal king behind his back. When the three clans were wiped out, after her husband overturned his car, all the elders who had watched him grow up were killed, and his daughter's sweetheart was stabbed through the heart by thousands of arrows.

Shen Tang takes on this persona.

If there is a chance again, I will definitely strangle Cui Xiao to death.

Even if you can't strangle him to death, you should stay away from this man.

But there is no regret medicine in the world.

This world is not a novel either.

Shen Tang couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the kind and filial wife would take her children away. In my opinion, she is still too restrained."

If it were him, Cui Shanxiao would want to meet the King of Hell.

"You handle these matters on your own. I won't interfere, but only for yourselves. Don't drag other courtiers into the water." Shen Tang saw the killing intent in Qi Shan's eyes and knew his plan. Although he is the master, he can't do anything to deal with this kind of personal vendetta! The two can only resolve their personal feud by themselves, "It's best to wait until the war is over."

Shen Tang really didn't think Qi Shan had an absolute chance of winning.

Cui Xiao's sense of existence is so low that many people have forgotten that he, Qin Li, Zhao Feng and others were originally from the same group, and they also had interests and friendships. Qishan is ready to move Cui Xiao, but Cui Xiao will not sit still and wait for death. What worries Shen Tang the most is that they both want to shake people off at the same time.

If you shake people, there will be no peace in the Kangguo court.

The only advantage of praying for good is to detect it first.

Shen Tang thought carefully for a long time.

I still feel that this arrangement is inappropriate.

"Forget it, let me see if I can adjust it."

In fact, the best way before Shen Tang is for her to come forward and secretly send someone to kill one of the two. As long as one of them dies, the hatred will be unproven. Completely eliminate the triggers that may turn into major cases. Shen Tang also prefers to pray for kindness emotionally. If she could only choose one of the two, she would only pray for good. This is undoubtedly the optimal solution, but if Shen Tang really does this, is she still herself?

After weighing the pros and cons and abandoning a relatively unimportant person of your own, will the person who is retained really feel at ease?

Especially praying for kindness.

He is extremely insecure and trusting.

Who can guarantee that this situation will only happen once?

Choosing one of the two is a dead end to a certain extent.

These bad debts obviously have nothing to do with him, but Shen Tang is the one who is most affected: "Speaking of which, you are all responsible for this matter. There is no right or wrong. However, after many years, you are ministers in the same court, and you don't look up when you look down. That’s the trouble.”

Anyone who is not one of our own will be killed.

Why worry so much?

"... Speaking of innocence, Lady Cui Hui is the most innocent in this matter. No wonder you feel guilty." Needless to say, Qi Yuanliang and Cui Shanxiao, the old and weak in the bandit camp were also thugs of Cui Xiao's father-in-law when they were young. , Cui Hui's mother grew up in this kind of environment, and there is probably blood on her hands that shouldn't be there, otherwise she wouldn't be able to kidnap Qi Shan when she closes her eyes and make him her daughter's male favorite. Only Cui Hui doesn't know anything. , I only know that I have a mother who washes her hands in a golden basin, a father who teaches and educates people, and a group of elders who look fierce but actually dote on me. He didn’t know anything and was the most innocent, “Yuanliang, I want to talk to her.”

Shen Tang decided to take the initiative.

Save this storm in Kangguo's court.

Qishan was not surprised by Shen Tang's choice.

He had never been soft-hearted when making enemies. Seeing the sadness in his master's eyes, he felt regret for the first time - not regretting that he had offended too many people and having enemies everywhere, but regretting that he had been so soft-hearted in the past! He should let his enemies drink Meng Po soup as soon as possible instead of leaving a lot of bad debts to bother the Lord.

Fortunately, it’s not too late to realize this.

On the second day, Qishan sent someone to inform Cui Hui.

Cui Hui, who was helping Yima Musong comb his hair, was startled.

She didn't expect the leader of a country to meet her.

Cui Hui's understanding of Shen Tang mostly comes from rumors. He is mostly praised and praised in Kang State, but has mixed praise and criticism outside Kang State. Her coming to Kang State is partly related to Shen Tang. She was really curious about the country built by such a strange woman.

It's just that she came at the wrong time.

Kang Guo is at war with other places.

When Cui Hui heard about this for the first time, she thought she heard it wrong - she had been to many places since entering the country, and she dared to conclude that the prosperity and stability in Kang State was the highest among the many countries she traveled around. Among the top three. She was shocked by Shen Tang's skill and intention in governing the country, but was told that this was because of the war with foreign countries. If there was no war, how prosperous the country would be?

Yearning, reverence, longing, wonder...

But I never expected to have close contact with Shen Tang.

The other party is the leader of a country, and he is just a commoner.

I can't stand the fate of fate.

She never thought that she would meet an old friend from back then. Even her father, whom she avoided, was also a subordinate of Lord Shen. On the way to see Shen Tang, Cui Hui had many speculations in his mind, which finally turned into a sigh. Perhaps, she guessed Lord Shen's intention.

"Cui Hui, a grassroots man, has met the king."

Cui Hui thought Shen Tang would call him to the main tent.

But he didn't want her to take him out for a spin.

In fact, Shen Tang is really busy.

Even the time to see Cui Hui was squeezed out of every possible opportunity.

The captured territory does not mean that you can completely sit back and relax just by sending troops to occupy it, especially in a multi-racial and multi-tribal place like the Northern Desert. The tribes in the Northern Desert also like to use hair color, eye color, and skin color to distinguish between themselves and the enemy. There is little communication and a relatively closed living environment, which naturally leads to different customs, living habits, and beliefs.

For Shen Tang to completely capture such a place, it was at the time when the resistance was at its highest after the defeat in the Bei Desert, so one can imagine how difficult it would be. Shen Tang simply used the stupidest method.

As long as we are human, survival needs are always the minimum needs.

At the same time, it is the highest demand.

As long as you can find a way to satisfy it, you can slowly capture people's hearts. She is not afraid of someone like Bei Mo who is born with white-eyed wolf attributes. If he doesn't obey, he will be beaten and given sweet dates. One meal is not enough for two! Food is always the lifeblood of human survival!

Shen Tang took people to learn more about the conditions of nearby tribes.

Especially the demands of tribal slaves and ordinary people.

I also had a home-cooked meal near noon.

It is said to be home-cooked food, but it is actually dark cuisine.

After waiting for the person to go down, Shen Tang couldn't help but frown and said: "Although I know that this family has provided the best hospitality, people who don't know about it still think that the other party wants to murder me. It's all a secret plan."

Dark cuisine in the literal sense.

It's a pitch-black mass, exuding a strange smell, and from time to time there are a few bubbles popping up, gurgling, gurgling, a crude metaphor is thinning! A bowl of steaming, hot shit.

The living environment is also hard to describe.

If someone like Qin Li were to come over, he would be stunned on the spot.

Calculated, this family’s annual income is less than fifty cents, which is almost unimaginable. What’s even more outrageous is that they still have a little balance after one year. When talking about this, the pride on the face of the hostess almost overflowed...

As a follower, Cui Hui also shared a small portion of the bowl.

She drank it without frowning.

During the years when she was at home all over the world, there were times when she was so hungry that she ate tree bark to satisfy her hunger. The food in her hands was far from being inedible. What really surprised Cui Hui was that Lord Shen could finish the meal without changing his expression, at least in front of others.

After noon.

Cui Hui followed Shen Tang to several more houses.

Most of what I learned were bits and pieces of details.

Such as how many people are in the family, whether the parents are still alive, how many children there are, how many chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep are, what they are fed on daily basis, whether they are cleaned and maintained, how many they usually raise, sell and slaughter, and how much the purchase price is... It is not like the head of the country. What you should know.

When Shen Tang finished his work, he stretched.

Only when he caught a glimpse of Cui Hui from the corner of his eye did he think of him.

Asked: "What is Kewu thinking that is so obsessed with it?"

Cui Huilai had been hinted by Qishan before, and the latter told her what to say. Cui Hui was right when he thought about it. He was just an ordinary person, while Lord Shen was a genius with both civil and military skills. If the other party wants to know what they really think, that's too easy.

Therefore, she did not hide anything.

"You said this doesn't seem like something the leader of the country should know? So in Kego's opinion, what should the leader of the country know?"

Cui Hui: "Policy? Law? Managing courtiers?"

Shen Tang put his hands on his hips and did waist twisting exercises to relax his muscles: "Hahaha, these things Ke Wu said are correct, but they are also wrong. In my opinion, the essence of governing a country is to govern everyone and take care of a city. Mansion. But while other people face a few, a dozen, dozens or even hundreds of people, I have to face millions, tens of millions or even more."

She tried to explain in simple terms.

"A small family has a small population, but there are many conflicts. Conflicts between people, conflicts about eating, drinking, and eating, conflicts between the family and relatives, conflicts about making a living and making money... There is also a lot of knowledge here. As a member of a family Lord, let everyone be well fed and clothed warmly, know how to take care of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep so that they can grow quickly and fatten up, and how to take care of the fields at home so that the harvest will be abundant... let the few be fed. , there is something to rely on when you are old, you need to know how much your family spends in a day, how much it costs, where to buy to save money, market prices... These do not have to be placed on one person, and the head of the family does not have to be proficient in them all, but at least he must know that there is such a thing. You know what's going on, so you won't be deceived by others..."

As he spoke, Shen Tang told a joke.

She said: "When Kang State was first established, people from the previous dynasty were appointed for internal procurement in the royal court. One day, I took a look at the account book on a whim. Do you think the prices on it were outrageous? An egg costs five taels of silver, and a duck egg costs ten two……"

Of course Shen Tang is not used to the other party.

Bring the person over directly and ask what's going on.

Cui Hui was curious: "What did that person say?"

Shen Tang: "People say it is expensive. It has always been this price. The eggs and duck eggs supplied by the former Geng and Xin countries were ten times more expensive than this. These eggs are produced by tribute chickens and ducks that are carefully raised. Every day The feed they feed is expensive. Only in this way can we produce high-quality eggs, which is in line with the status of the royal family. How can the head of a country use cheap eggs like ordinary people?"

She was so angry that her veins were beating wildly.

It's so reasonable to say that you can get rebates on purchases.

Do you really think that you are ignorant of the sufferings of the people?

Cui Hui was speechless: "It makes some sense."

What status should be matched with what kind of pomp.

Shen Tang said: "How can it make sense? It makes no sense! The feed for chickens and ducks is of the highest quality, but what's the standard? You can make a fuss here, and you are extremely greedy. The eggs and duck eggs produced are sent to the royal court, and nine are corrupted. Cheng Jiu. Eggs and duck eggs are just the most common part of daily diet. What about other fruits, vegetables and meat? I am not the only one who needs to eat in the palace, but other female officials, servants and servants don’t eat? "

Since the latter’s food expenses are not that high, he cannot be corrupt?

Obviously not.

More oil and water can be scraped from them.

Shen Tang is just one person, and there are hundreds or even thousands of these people!

This is just about eating. In food, clothing, housing and transportation, what kind of things cannot be exploited for corruption? If Shen Tang didn't know anything about this, how could she empathize with people if she didn't know their prices or their sufferings? Kang Guo will also become a host for corrupt people.

Shen Tang lamented: "The courtiers assist the king in running the country, and any policies and laws are implemented to benefit the people under the rule. If the king does not even know the life under the rule, how can the king ensure that the implemented policies can effectively help the people?" , instead of becoming an accomplice of corrupt officials? Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

Cui Hui thought about it for a long time.

Sighing: "It's really not easy."

Shen Tang nodded: "Yes, it is not easy to be a thief."

It's really not easy for her to be a parent.

She still has to worry about the conflicts among the people below.

Striking while the iron is hot, Shen Tang was about to cut into the topic.

Unexpectedly, Cui Hui nodded first.

He said solemnly: "The king has good intentions. If the common people know it, they will not embarrass the king. I did have hatred for my father in the early years, but as time has passed and I am a parent myself, I feel relieved. However, It is impossible to forgive him. The people he really deserves to be forgiven are not ordinary people..."

Cui Hui thought Shen Tang wanted to be a lobbyist to intercede for Cui Xiao.

Shen Tang: "..."

She wasn't prepared to talk about kindness and filial piety.

Shen Tang's expression was too obvious, and Cui Hui was also stunned for a moment: "Isn't the intention of the king today to bring the common people into recognition with my father and daughter? The common people are willing to recognize each other, but they do not forgive."

There is no mention of praying for kindness from beginning to end.

"You mean... you don't actually intend to meet Shanxiao?"

Cui Hui: "I don't really think about it. I don't know how to face it."

There are too many lives between them.

However, half of his bloodline was given by him.

Shen Tang said vaguely: "...and Yuan Liang?"

Cui Huidao: "Hateful."

After all these years, I still find this person hateful.

But, that's all.

If she had known that Qishan and Cui Xiao were both there, she would not have come.

Shen Tang: "..."

Cui Hui asked softly: "Have the common people misunderstood?"

Shen Tang: "..."

She was so embarrassed that her toes were digging into the ground.

"Actually, Shanxiao doesn't know Yuanliang's identity yet."

Cui Hui is also a smart person.

As soon as he heard it, he knew Shen Tang's true intention.

Sighing: "Is the king worried that the common people will reveal Qu Tan's identity? The common people are also surprised. With my father's temper, if he knows Qu Tan's true identity, how can he be a minister of the same court peacefully? Although the common people come from a rough background, they also know the overall situation. It’s very important. If the Lord of the country can be trusted, let me leave my father’s side to the common people to ensure that he is put to rest.”

Aniang said that a man's guilt depends on his feelings.

As long as he still has feelings, guilt will be expensive.

Cui Shanxiao was originally in debt.
