Chapter 198

Although she always knew that the prince and Shao Yue had a good relationship, Bai Xian never thought that the prince he Jincheng was the original song Cheng. She thought that the prince should be in the East Palace of Luodu and occasionally help the emperor deal with government affairs.

Bai Xian was moved. She recalled that song Cheng and song Yue, two noble CHILDES who couldn't do any housework, didn't have a servant around. It's really strange that Shaoyue and he Jincheng specially went to erlipu to observe the people's livelihood.

She looked up at he Jincheng and Shao Yue, who were worried about the emperor's need to increase people's taxes. She lamented that all they met were smart people. Only smart people knew that the people's will was the foundation of a country. However, Bai Xian didn't know whether she should say her suggestions. After all, he Jincheng didn't ask her what she meant.

Shao Yue on the other side, seeing Bai Xian's eyes rolling, knew that she must have thought of some way. For this matter, Shao Yue has no clue and can only worry: "xian'er, do you have any good way? His Highness the prince really puts the people of his family and country first. If you have anything to say, just say it."

It seems that Bai Xian's official position was obtained because she made great contributions to Shao Jiajun in the previous two wars. He Jincheng looked at Bai Xian: "sister Bai Xian, we are old acquaintances. If you have anything to say."

If he Jincheng were not the crown prince, Bai Xian might have a chat with him about his friendship in the past. After all, he sat down with him for many times and experienced a lot of wind and rain together. But now he Jincheng is the crown prince who is high above everything. Even if the crown prince seems very approachable to Shaoyue, Bai Xian should follow the way of kings and officials.

Therefore, before expressing his thoughts, Bai Xian carefully inquired about the disaster situation in the South and the emperor's plan. This year's year is not good, and there is almost no harvest in the south of the Yangtze River. However, the northwest, which has just experienced the war, smuggled the stored grain beans in the northwest to Wan state in collusion with the previous northwest governor and several officials, which can be said to make things worse.

Fortunately, Shao Yue defeated the state of Wan. When the state of Wan sought peace, he voluntarily returned thousands of kilograms of rice. These rice were still on the way to Luodu. Facing the situation that rumors had been everywhere and people's hearts were boiling, the emperor listened to the suggestion of imperial concubine Hua and decided to increase taxes on the north and West, changing the grain that a household should pay from two to three.

Bai Xian frowned. If the emperor really decided to implement this provision, it is estimated that a mob will rise up, so she sincerely said to he Jincheng again: "Your Highness, you must stop your Majesty's intention anyway."

He Jincheng said, "I only learned the news today. My father will ask Prime Minister Lin to enter the palace to discuss such a big thing."

Bai Xian has never been a person who likes to bet on each other. If he wants to be invincible, he must think of all the possible moves of the other party, so as to defeat the other party: "Your Highness, since this is the case, we still have some time. The top priority is to find a way to solve the disaster in the south, so as to have a reason not to let the emperor raise taxes."

Shao Yue looked at he Jincheng, who was obviously surprised by Bai Xian's words, and smiled proudly. This was his Bai Xian. No matter what situation he encountered, he was calm and methodically came up with countermeasures. He liked such Bai Xian very much, because Bai Xian's face was often filled with self-confidence.

Shao Yue looked at Bai's mother and Shen Yunqing, who were walking out of the room, and reminded him, "Your Highness, Mrs. Bai also lives with me. Otherwise, you should go back with me for breakfast first, and then let Bai Xian go after Mrs. Bai's breakfast."

Although he Jincheng felt no need to hide his days in erlipu, Bai Xian understood Shaoyue's meaning. Shaoyue was worried that too many people knew about erlipu, so some people found out that Bai's mother lived in another hospital of Shao's family, and then made up some unnecessary stories to discredit he Jincheng.

Therefore, Bai Xian said respectfully, "your highness and the general please have dinner first. I'll see you later."

Shao Yue and he Jincheng left. Bai's mother and Shen Yunqing were not curious about the identity of the strange man. They took Bai Xian to have breakfast together. Looking at the unconscious Bai's mother, Bai Xian planned to give her mother a stable life so that the external storms would not affect her.

He Jincheng, who came out of the yard, looked back at Shao Yue and sighed gently. Is it true that as long as he knew his true identity, no one could be his own friend? He remembered that he had a pleasant chat with Bai family's siblings when he was in erlipu, but Bai Xian no longer laughed when he knew his identity today, but became respectful and alienated.

Shao Yue certainly understands he Jincheng's heart knot. When he was a child, he Jincheng wanted to have a sincere friend and even said he would give Shao Yue the crown prince. He didn't want to be the crown prince himself, but as a child of an aristocratic family, everyone has his own troubles. Who can get real freedom.

Bai Xian didn't know that the two favored sons of heaven longed for ordinary pastoral life. At this time, while eating, she was distracted to think about how to solve the drought. Unknowingly, she caught the least favorite dish, mustard and soybeans.

Bai Xian felt that she was about to be unable to breathe. Tears and snot flowed out together. Looking at such a lovely Bai Xian, Bai mother and Shen Yunqing laughed. When they had laughed enough, Bai mother took out her handkerchief and carefully wiped away her tears.

"Xian'er, why are you absent-minded today?"

Bai Xian's nose was still very uncomfortable. She just hummed a few times and began to eat obediently. After a while, she used it well, and then got up and went to Shaoyue's yard.

Shao Yue and he Jincheng are holding a cup of tea. They are calm on the surface, but anxiously waiting for Bai Xian to come. Seeing Bai Xian coming in, he Jincheng puts down his cup: "sister, sit down."

Bai Xian could feel that he Jincheng tried to get back to the equal coexistence mode in erlipu before. Therefore, she also tried not to let herself put her mind too low. She only thought he was Shaoyue's friend and said: "Your Highness, I thought carefully just now. I really thought of the corresponding strategy, but I don't know what effect your highness wants to achieve?"

Hearing that Bai Xian really came up with a clever plan, he Jincheng looked excited. Shaoyue next to him was not excited. He was more proud and showing off. Look, his Bai Xian is such a powerful girl. He said that his wisdom plan is higher than his master tianxuanzi.

Of course, he Jincheng wants the people to live as safely as possible, but he knows that his father is not a particularly gentle king, and there should be some taxes: "I don't want to raise taxes. This year is bad, and the taxes that should be reduced must be reduced. At least let the 100 surnames in the South get through this year."

Bai Xian realized that he Jincheng's heart valued the people more than the favor of the king. In the face of such a wise prince, she was also willing to give advice: "Your Highness, you can unite with several ministers with heavy weight in the court to state the harm of increasing taxes to the emperor. If the emperor objected with no food in the court, general Shao proposed to go to Fujian."

He Jincheng and Shao Yue were surprised to see Bai Xian. Why did they go to Fujian? Although the people of Fujian are thin and small, their combat effectiveness is not weak. Moreover, Fujian produces a lot of food every year. Wan and Chu also rely on buying Fujian food to survive.
