As we enter late July, the weather begins to slowly turn cooler.

News came from the south that the flood had receded and the flood had been temporarily eliminated, and the officials sent by the imperial court acted in strict accordance with the rules promulgated by the imperial court, established temporary shelters, resettled the victims, and distributed porridge and rice every day, and there was no large-scale civil unrest.

As for the post-disaster outbreak, it did not occur, and there were many cases of diarrhoea, but it was quickly brought under control and did not worsen further.

Although the post-disaster reconstruction work will take a long time, the impact of this flood is indeed much smaller than in the past, and it no longer involves the hearts of hundreds of officials.

The Son of Heaven moved out of the palace this time, the scale was very large, and it lasted for several days, and the queen mother, including several favorite concubines of the harem, also lived in the hibiscus garden with him.

Of course, the government is still running as always, some important political affairs, after being approved by the two prime ministers of Shangshu Province, will be sent to the palace, handed over to the eldest princess to decide, the eldest princess's decision, if the three provinces have no objection, they will be implemented accordingly, if the difference is very big, the letter will be sent to the Furong Garden, by His Majesty to make the final decision.

Of course, so far, no one has questioned all the decisions of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

In just a few days, some officials completely understood why His Majesty would make such a seemingly absurd decision.

The problem that Shangshu Province couldn't solve was sent to the eldest princess, and in less than a day, the perfect solution could be obtained.

Demons, there are really demons in this dynasty......

The eldest princess was busy, so Li Yi was naturally idle.

Ruyi's due date is in early November, from now, only about three months away, Rao is she is a generation of grandmasters, and she is also protected by Tuan Tuan, it is inevitable that an accident will occur, and she is not allowed to go out of the house, anyway, the house is big enough, there are mountains and rivers, and the scenery is not bad, it is a good place to have a good baby......

It's not enough to have Xiaohuan to take care of her, Miss Liu Er hasn't gone out for many days, staying at home, occupying Ruyi, and when she sleeps at night, Li Yi will also be expelled by her.

The space in the inner house is not large, Li Yi specially arranged it according to the layout of Liuyezhai's home, she kicked herself out, and she was not allowed to sleep in her room, Li Yi only had two choices, one was to make do with Xiaohuan, and the other was to sleep in the outer house, the former was ruled out by him first almost without hesitation.

Xiaohuan is no longer the young little girl she was at the beginning, and she has not reached the point of being completely mature, the night is long, Li Yike doesn't want to find guilt for herself.

They are now inseparable from Ruyi, and those women who are familiar with each other in Liuye Village often come to talk, and they have to avoid him when they speak, Li Yi feels that he is redundant, lying in the yard basking in the sun, drinking tea, and the ideal retirement life should be like this.

After calming down, there is plenty of time to think about something.

Since a long, long time ago, he has been laying some things for the eldest princess, and now, it has finally achieved initial results, and the next thing to do is to wait.

In order for many things to achieve the pre-effective effect, it takes enough time to ferment.

Although no matter what kind of preparations they make, the final decision is still in the hands of the old emperor, but when her weight in the court becomes heavier and heavier, and when she breaks through a certain critical point, it is possible to break some conventional concepts.

As for the king of Shu......

The King of Shu has no need to worry about it completely, the authorities are fascinated, maybe only those who were tied to the same boat with him early, in the absence of any other choice, will take the way of self-hypnosis to deceive themselves, with the temperament of the old emperor, it is impossible to watch the imperial power fall into the hands of a straw bag, otherwise he would not have made so many measures against the Cui family, not to mention other princes, even compared with Li Han's kid, the King of Shu has no advantage at all.

Think about it, more than a year ago, he was the most powerful prince in Kyoto, and it was not easy to get to where he is today.

Lying comfortably on the rocking chair, in a state of emptiness, just when I had some sleepiness, I was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps.

The old man hurriedly ran in from outside, "Uncle, it's not good!" ”

"What's the matter?" Li Yi sat up from the rocking chair and asked.

The old man handed an object to Li Yi and said, "Uncle, take a look for yourself." ”

This is a greeting post, this kind of thing, generally strange or not so familiar friends, a must-have thing when visiting, I have received a lot of such a greeting post before, but this time, it is different.

Li Yi put the post down, doubts and puzzles appeared on his face, and asked, "Where are the people now?" ”

"In the antechamber."

"Let's go."

Li Yi thought for a moment, but still walked out.

Slowly walked to the front hall, stepped into the hall door, and arched his hand to an old man sitting inside drinking tea, "Prime Minister Qin is busy with official business, why do you have time to come here today?" ”

didn't say anything like "missing the distance" and "blooming", and there was an obvious alienation between the words.

Qin Xiang actually handed over the post and came to the door in person, which was naturally beyond Li Yi's expectations.

No matter in that aspect, he and the Qin family and Qin Xiang are antagonistic and irreconcilable relations, Qin Xiang once invited him once, and finally broke up unhappily, this time, he actually came to the door in person......

"Come rashly, don't blame Dr. Li." The old man put down the teacup, got up and said: "What Dr. Li said in the Imperial Garden last time that the old man still didn't understand about the reform of the tax law, so he specially came to the door to solve his doubts, and asked Dr. Li to give advice. ”

He called him "Doctor Li", his tone was calm, and he seemed to completely ignore Li Yi's age, as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, there were few people in the entire court who could be treated like this by him.

Li Yi's gaze paused on Qin Xiang's face for a moment, then he nodded and said, "Don't dare to give teaching, let's take it as an exchange, Qin Xiang, please sit ......down."

Qin Xiang nodded, sat down again, and said straight to the point: "Most of the tax system of this dynasty follows the previous dynasty, but at the end of the previous dynasty, there were many feudal towns, disobeying the imperial court, and the tax was disorderly, so the tax system introduced was not suitable for this dynasty......

Today's conversation is completely different from the one in the Qin Mansion.

Qin Xiang seemed to have completely forgotten his position, and the questions he asked were all about tax law and economic reform that Li Yi talked about in the Imperial Garden that day, and in the process of the two talking, Li Yi unexpectedly found that Qin also had a deep insight into this way.

Although some places are still very vague, but in the general direction, it is right, and he even filled in many details that Li Yi did not talk about that day, and Li Yi can see that the proposal of these things is not a day's work.

In other words, he has been groping for these things and these institutional reforms that are applicable to Jingguo at this stage for a long time.

It's just limited to knowledge, and before that, there were only hazy thoughts, and at this time, these thoughts have begun to gradually surface.

Li Yi knows very well how rare it is for people in this era to think of those things that are ahead of their time.

Moreover, his understanding of Jingguo is far beyond his imagination, and what he says often hits the nail on the head and goes straight to the source......

Li Yi found that he seemed to have underestimated this old man all along, offended the prime minister of a country, he had always been prepared to accept the other party's revenge, and had several sets of response plans, but Qin Yu suffered three times and twice, and ......the king of Shu gradually lost power, and Qin did not take any action against him.

This is unreasonable, Li Yi can't figure out the reason, and he can't see through Qin Xiang.

Including today, he took the initiative to come to the door, not talking about grievances, but only talking about state affairs, which made Li Yi have a new understanding of the old man in front of him.
