When the pavilion master left the Great Wilderness and said goodbye to Yunchang, it was the time when the world was peaceful, and now although it is not the peace of the world, it has already made people see the dawn of peace in the world.

Yun Chang sat down beside the pavilion master, and the pavilion master asked, "Have you been to the palace?" Have you met the emperor? ”

Yun Chang said: "I've been there, and I came here just after I came out of the palace." ”

The pavilion master smiled a little hoarsely and said, "It turns out that you have been to the palace, I said why are you in a hurry to see my old bones." ”

Yun Chang snorted: "What's so nice about your old bones?" ”

The pavilion master snorted, "What? Not to your liking? This is a rare opportunity, you should understand! ”

Yun Chang hesitated, and the pavilion master ordered: "Isn't Xiao Qi back, Lao Jiu, you can take Yun Ye there." ”

Senior Brother Nine and Yun Ye bowed and retreated, and Yun Chang sighed and said, "Although I thought before I came, I didn't expect that the emperor would be far more shrewd than I thought. ”

The pavilion master laughed a few times hoarsely, and then said leisurely: "I also know that kid's idea, to be honest, it is the best of both worlds, who made it impossible for you to let go of your prejudices." ”

It is indeed impossible to trust the other party completely, because this relationship is not one person, Yun Chang said: "I also know that this is the best of both worlds, and I am willing to explain this proposal." ”

"It's just that it's not as simple as relocating my desolate clan to the southwest, the emperor intends to set up my desolate clan as a state alone, and my Yun family will be the hereditary governor, and the Tongzhi and Tongju will be elected by the imperial court."

The pavilion master said leisurely: "Very pertinent! ”

Yun Chang couldn't help choking when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "And the Great Zhou Emperor wants to tax the barren clan, saying that every household must collect a leaf!" ”

The pavilion master nodded and said, "To the point!" ”

Yun Chang smiled angrily and said, "He is about to become your son-in-law, and you are now looking for your son-in-law!" ”

The pavilion lord said sarcastically: "My Donghai City is rich in the world, and my daughter will never be able to spend the little tax paid by your desolate clan!" What do I have to aspire to him? ”

The pavilion master continued: "I have always been impartial, but I am curious why you came to the capital?" How do I remember that you came to the capital to return to the Great Zhou, Guishun, do you understand the meaning of these two words? ”

Yun Chang was a little silent.

The pavilion master said in a deep voice: "Let your Yun family be hereditary as Zhizhou, are you still not satisfied?" The imperial court appointed Tongzhi and Tongju, do you still feel wronged? How? Are you going to set yourself up as a kingdom? Do I need to make you a king with a different surname? ”

Yun Chang was silent, and the pavilion master continued: "The Great Zhou Emperor said that he wanted to collect taxes, but he didn't say how much taxes he would collect, so you won't be happy, if you don't pay taxes, you can't let the imperial court appoint officials, is this a surrender?" ”

"You are afraid of appointing two officials in the imperial court, shouldn't you be afraid of hundreds of thousands of people of your desolate clan who leave the Great Wilderness and come to the southwest?"

"To tell the truth, the situation of your desolate clan really can't squeeze any oil and water, and Da Zhou is not bad for your desolate clan's taxes."

"He's not bad at paying taxes, and he knows you don't want to, so why do you have to collect taxes? That only shows that he really intends to accept you desolate people. Isn't it? ”

Yun Chang was silent, thinking about it, and the pavilion master said leisurely: "So I said to the point, I am not on the side of the Great Zhou Emperor, I don't stand on either side, I just feel that this matter is pertinent!" Emperor Da Zhou did a very authentic and sincere job! You can calm down and think about whether what I'm saying makes sense. ”

There was silence in the back garden, but the hall was bustling with chatter.

When Xiao Qi saw his brother coming, he immediately asked, "Brother, you and your uncle went to the palace, is the imperial banquet in the palace delicious?" ”

"It's delicious." As he spoke, he said the word delicious, but his face was not very good-looking.

Xiao Qi asked with concern, "What's wrong, brother?" What happened? ”

Thinking that they were all from the Sword Pavilion here, and Mingyue was still in a relationship with Tang Ning as lovers, Yun Ye shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the emperor and uncle talked about what happened after the surrender, and they talked a lot." ”

Mingyue smiled: "What did you say?" Did the emperor ask too much? Let's help you refer to it, your uncle will also discuss this with my father now, right? ”

This is not a secret, and obviously the uncle is just here to talk to the pavilion master about this, Yun Ye thought about it, and said without emotion: "The emperor wants to set up a state in the southwest jungle, and then select officials to govern the barren tribe." ”

Elect officials to govern the desolate people? Mingyue hesitated: "Are all the officials elected?" Don't you think about the people of the desolate race? That's a bit too much! ”

Senior Brother Xiao Twelve and Senior Brother Nine couldn't help but glance at each other, feeling that the emperor was indeed a bit too much to do this.

Yun Ye explained: "No, the emperor wants to let the children of the Yun family be hereditary governors, and Tongzhi and Tongju want the imperial court to select officials to serve. ”

Mingyue was surprised and said: "Your Yun family is hereditary governor, and the imperial court only selects Tongzhi and Tongju, isn't this good?" ”

Xiao Twelfth and Ninth Senior Brothers couldn't help but nod slightly when they heard this, if this was the case, it would not be too much.

Yun Ye couldn't help but hesitate slightly when he heard this, he naturally wanted to send not a single official in the imperial court, and all the officials from Zhizhou to the small officials were all desolate people, which was the most desirable.

When he said it at the beginning, Mingyue also said that the emperor was excessive, and although the others did not speak, they looked at their faces as well.

But after making it clear, not only Mingyue's attitude changed, but even the attitudes of other people also changed.

Senior Brother Jiu said with a smile: "After all, you are subordinate to the Great Zhou, and you are a state of the Great Zhou, and it is normal for the imperial court to appoint some officials to participate in the governance of the desolate clan!" ”

Yun Ye was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he suddenly felt that Mingyue and they were not their desolate people after all, and they would not consider it on their side.

Yun Ye said in a deep voice: "Not only that, the emperor also has to tax my desolate clan!" ”

Mingyue was a little puzzled and said, "Tax? It's not meant to target you desolates, is it? The imperial court has to tax the people, and our Donghai City also taxes its own people and merchants. ”

Yun Ye said in a deep voice: "The southwest jungle is not as rich as the Central Plains, my desolate tribe migrated out of the great wilderness, there is no life, but the emperor has to levy taxes, how can we gain a foothold?" ”

"And the emperor also said that even if every household levies a leaf, it must be collected!"

Xiao Qi, who had been listening to the side, shouted: "Brother, isn't it just a leaf?" The most important thing in the southwest jungle is trees, why don't we just look at some trees? ”

Mingyue touched Xiao Qi's head with some amusement, and said to Yunye: "Brother Yunye, I think that Tang Ning said this, which just shows that he is not coveting the taxes of the Desolate Clan, but really regards the Desolate Clan as his own people. ”

"The imperial court wants to build water conservancy, educate the people, even build schools, and even help the people in famine years, so it's not strange to collect taxes?"
