Chapter 582: The Khitan Prince
After the greetings, everyone sat down in order, and there was a carefree maid from the side concubine here, and she asked Hua Xijian to go to the back to talk. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Hua Xijian left in high spirits, and Wei Youqing remembered that Hua Xijian and Wen Wuwu knew each other.
Li Chengyu looked at the back of Hua Xijian and smiled: "The girl is still the same as before, she is straightforward and cute. ā
Zhao Feifei smiled: "Are all southerners like this? ā
Li Chengyu smiled: "Yes, a piece of sincerity, courage and loyalty." This time, the southerners made a great contribution to pacify Chudi. Therefore, this king went to the court, rewarded his merits, and exempted the Pearl Island from taxes. ā
Zhao Feifei said with a smile: "Yes, the prince has always been wise. However, I heard that Pearl Island is divided into north and south, the south is the southerners, and the north is the Han people who moved south from our mainland. ā
"Zhao Gongzi," Li Chengyu said with some displeasure, "the imperial court has always encouraged the reclamation of wasteland. The northerners reclaimed a wild land on Pearl Island into a place where they could live. Even under the current policy, the Pearl Island can be exempted from taxes for three years. ā
"What the prince said is extremely true." Zhao Feifei said with a smile, "I heard my father say that the Lord read the prince's recital, and they all praised the prince's kindness. Although the north is now in a tight situation and is in urgent need of money, the lord still ordered his father to draw up a statement to see how much tax is appropriate to exempt the northern land of the Pearl Island.
My father felt that the exemption from taxes for three years under the regulations of the imperial court was only a reward for reclamation, and that it should be doubled and exempted from taxes for three years in order to be regarded as a commendation for meritorious heroes. ā
Li Chengyu and Wei Youqing glanced at each other. This Zhao Feifei's words are true or false, obviously at first he was dissatisfied with the exemption of taxes for northerners, but now he grasped Li Chengyu's statement of "exempting taxes for three years", and suddenly the conversation changed to being exempted from taxes for six years, and he also did enough favors for Zhao Boyong.
As a result, when the other party emphasized that "the north is tight and there is an urgent need for money", Lee Seung-woo could not speak for the permanent tax exemption for the entire island of Pearl Island.
In the end, the result of the compromise was that the whole island of Pearl Island was tax-free for six years, and only half of the tax was paid after six years. fulfilled Lee Seung-woo's pre-war promise to the southerners.
Wei Youqing agreed, six years? He sneered in his heart, who knew that the sun would rise from that side in six years?
"Zhao Gongzi, I don't know what's going on with this tight northland? Youqing has been paying attention to Di Bao this winter, the Khitan did not go to war with the imperial court this winter, could it be that now that the winter has passed, the Khitan has come in at this time? The imperial court had a contract with the Khitan king. ā
"Yes," Zhao Feifei sighed, "The Khitan is like this, the barbarians are not civilized, where is there any integrity at all?" The slightest inappropriateness will tear up the contract. ā
"I wonder what's going on?" Wei Youqing thought to herself, not knowing what to do with the princess and relatives, "The Khitan and our dynasty are not equal in strength, even if there is no contract at the beginning, the Khitan will not start a war with our dynasty in other seasons except winter." ā
Zhao Feifei sighed and said, "Last winter, the little prince of Khitan, Asise, fell out with his grandfather and came to us. Yang Yishan sent him to Luoyang, His Majesty liked him very much, and originally wanted to descend with the princess of Yangcheng, but who knew that the princess ran away. ā
Only then did Wei Youqing know that the so-called princess and relatives did not marry the princess to the Khitan, but to marry the Khitan prince who came from afar.
Li Chengyu glanced at Wei Youqing and said with a smile: "This princess went to Yuanzhou a few days ago, and met the Jiangnan Duanjia and the demon of Tianshi Mountain Xinmen, in a vain attempt to assassinate the king, thanks to this imperial niece who saved the king's life, but unfortunately the king has not seen the princess, otherwise, he will definitely take care of him and send him back to Luoyang as soon as possible." ā
Wei Youqing told Zhao Feifei about the process of his acquaintance with Ah Tao according to what he wrote in his letter to Li Chengyu, and said with a casual smile: "Princess Bingxue is smart, it seems that she really doesn't want to be known." I didn't expect it at all. It wasn't until the princess left with the master that she didn't know the true identity of the princess. Otherwise, it will be sent back alive. ā
Zhao Feifei pondered for a moment and said: "The ice cliff in the west is indeed a magical place, and I heard that there are many immortals who have attained the Tao in it. Tao Yao has been a fairy since she was a child, and she must yearn for these places when she wants to come. ā
He sighed and said, "Let's go, it's okay to go." Get away from the dust of the world. However, my aunt's concern for her daughter, although she is a queen, is no different from ordinary people. If Brother Wei can find a way to get it back, the queen will definitely be grateful. ā
Wei Youqing said: "Yes, the princess is from Pearl Island, and it is incumbent on her to do so." It's just that the ice cliff is dangerous, and it can't be the same as the princess who is mortal with the naked eye. I can only wait for the hottest time of summer to climb the cliff. Fortunately, the princess is going to practice, and if she can achieve success, it will also be a great joy. ā
Zhao Feifei nodded and said with a smile: "The matter of the princess is so decided, everything depends on Brother Wei." ā
Li Chengyu looked at Zhao Feifei and said with a smile: "Feifei, I know that you will not leave the capital if you have nothing to do, and if there is anything that has not been decided, you can say it one by one." ā
Zhao Feifei said with a smile: "Everything can't escape the eyes of the prince." There is one more thing, naturally this Khitan prince. He ran to Yang Yishan, and Yang Yishan was sent to Luoyang like a hot potato. ā
He approached Li Chengyu and said, "Lord Wang, Yang Yishan is afraid." As soon as this little prince comes, if the Khitan King is recruited, Hedong Town is so poor that he has no pants to wear, who has the heart to fight? The soldiers are crying and shouting to come back......"
Zhao Feifei glanced at Wei Youqing, "Not to mention the common people, they all run south......"
Wei Youqing sneered in his heart, Pearl Island was just a wild land that no one wanted in the past, but now it has been developed, and they are staring at him one by one.
But there is no way, Pearl Island can't live behind closed doors. Don't say that you can't close the door at all, and even if you can, the people inside won't want to.
Wei Youqing said with a smile: "Zhao Gongzi, Pearl Island was just a wild land in the past, with poisonous insects and beasts all over the place, and there were uncivilized southerners......
Now it attracts so many northerners, why? It's just a few pieces of land, which is the capital of the common people to settle down and survive!
The six towns in the north are the land of my Chaolongxing, how can they be as good as a barbaric island? In my humble opinion, as long as the imperial court's decree to exempt wasteland from taxes for three years can be effectively implemented in the six towns, and the soldiers of the six towns can be raised by the people of the six towns, and the soldiers of the six towns can protect the people of the six towns, who will not contribute? Who doesn't step forward? ā
Zhao Feifei's eyes flowed with brilliance, and he couldn't help clapping his hands and praised: "Brother Wei said well!" It's just ......" he glanced at Wei Youqing, "Now the six towns are almost ten rooms and nine empty, and now there is land and no one cultivates, and no one wants to go back!" ā
