Dodder Pampering Handbook

"Uncle!"

Zhong Cheng just walked in and closed the door.Before he could turn around, he was hugged tightly from behind.

Zhao Chan really wished he could wrap his whole body around him.

Zhong Teng took his hand, and slowly moved him into his arms with his backhand, he consciously put his arms around his waist, and left a wet kiss on his face: "Zen misses you so much."

He rubbed back and forth on Zhong Cheng's neck, and his voice was lingering and pathetic, which aroused people's daydream.

Zhong Cheng hugged him, put him on the couch, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, don't make trouble, there are still people outside the palace."

Zhao Chan really wanted to act like a baby, but seeing his serious expression, he was so dissatisfied that he let go of his legs clamping his waist, lay down on the couch, pouted and watched Zhong Cheng sitting on a chair some distance away from him.

"Has His Majesty dealt with today's memorial?" Zhong Cheng flipped through the memorial, and the little emperor's commentary was very short, concise and to the point.

The font is [-]% similar to his, after all, it is practiced against each other every day.

Zhao Chanzhen said: "Not yet, Su Hetong just came to ask for instructions, and wants to build a school in Jinling, only for children from poor families. What does the emperor think?"

Today's bureaucratic election system in Dazhao follows the imperial examination system of the previous dynasty, and also has a recommendation system.Although both can promote class circulation, it is still too difficult for the truly poor people to confess a literate scholar.

Before Zhong Teng took Zhao Chanzhen to test the price of goods in Jinling City, it was calculated that the annual cost of an ordinary family was about ten taels, and if someone in the family was studying, they would need more.

At least 30 taels a year.This is still living in Jinling. In remote places, students have to go to Jinling to take the exam every year, which costs even more.

Su and Tong have lived in seclusion in the countryside for many years, and they deeply feel that people in the fields are not without talents, but the environment inhibits their growth.

Zhao Chanzhen deeply agrees with this. Take him as an example. He feels that he is not smart enough, but under the daily influence of his ears and eyes, he can secretly read and read.

But some of those people in the countryside have never even read a book in their whole life.

Su Hetong's return to Beijing this time is for the peace of the world, and for the common people.He deeply felt that the virtuous and talented people in the imperial court were all from aristocratic families, and their corpses were eaten as vegetarian food, which was the root cause of Zhao's corruption.

If we want to change fundamentally, we must first change the mechanism of selecting talents and appointing talents.

After hearing his explanation, Zhong Cheng said, "Although Su Hetong believes in Confucianism, he is not an ordinary person like Fu Xisheng. He knows how to be flexible, and he is also a good official who really cares about the world. Since Your Majesty also agrees with his ideas, just do it." gone."

Zhao Chanzhen bit his lip, a little embarrassed.He also told Su Hetong proudly that since it was for the good of the common people, then just do it.

Building a school for the poor is to cover the learning expenses of the poor students.If you really want to build it well, you will need a lot of silver to train these poor students into the humerus of Da Zhao.

To put it bluntly, Su Hetong came to ask for money.

Zhao Chan may really be the poorest emperor ever.

The national treasury is all dispatched by Zhong Cheng, and he has no hand at all.His own private treasury has very little money, and even those rare treasures were given to him by the emperor's uncle.

Zhao Chan was really not willing to throw any of them out.

He looked at Zhong Cheng innocently, "Uncle Huang, where are we going to get money?"

Zhong Cheng pondered, building a country is like building a mountain with a closed ecological chain, which is the balance of various values.

If you want the country to be stable, you need the people's hearts to be stable. When will the people's hearts be stable?It is simple to say, as long as the people can live a stable life and receive a unified cultural education, even if foreign enemies lure them, the people will hardly be shaken.But a stable life is the hard standard that most tests the strength of a country.

Natural disasters require money, security for the people requires money, and construction requires money.

Everything needs money, so where does the country's tax revenue come from?

Farmers who rely on the sky to pay taxes, if the ratio is high, the people's hearts will be unstable, and if it is low, the country's fiscal revenue will be low, which is an endless loop.

The place where you can really get your money out...

Zhao Chanzhen didn't know when he got out of bed, and then grabbed Zhong Cheng's shoulders and curled up in his arms.

He is no longer short, his legs are well-proportioned, long and straight, hanging lonely in mid-air, dangling, looking up at Zhong Teng, "Uncle Huang continued, don't worry about Chanzhen."

Zhong Cheng was speechless, put him horizontally in his arms, put his legs on his arms, and let him snuggle up in a comfortable position.

Then he continued: "Since Your Majesty has thought of replacing the blood, then do it thoroughly and shovel this stubborn old tree of the family."

"Uncle Huang is really powerful, just now Su Hetong suggested the same to me. But the family... can it really be moved?"

"You can move, but you have to pick a good time and a good position to start."

Zhong Teng thought about it, and he felt sorry for the little emperor.Although there is not much money in the national treasury, it was indeed used by him.

But in two or three years, Da Zhao's finances should be able to turn around.

Now he can only use the family to get his blood back.

Zhong Teng didn't have the slightest sympathy. After all, the aristocratic family gained its strength today by oppressing ordinary people. In this case, what's wrong with him oppressing the aristocratic family with his own strength?

He had already figured out who to take the knife from.

Although Deng Yong is his sycophant, this is just a layer of skin he wears.Before King Yong'an invaded Jinling, he owned countless fertile land and shops in Jinling, and even took advantage of the war in Jinling to make a fortune for the country.

When those people who fled from the city came back, they found that all their ancestral property had changed their surnames to Deng.

But at that time, Deng Yong had already successfully embraced King Yong'an's thigh, and the others had no choice but to let it go.

Deng Yong also took advantage of that windfall to do business in every inch of Dazhao's land.It's just that they are relatively low-key, and they are still Zhong Cheng's dog on the surface.

Zhong Teng played with the clairvoyance on the table, explaining to the little emperor the origin of this gadget, it came to Zhongtu from thousands of miles overseas, and the glass cup given to him by Deng Qiu was also a proof of Deng Yong's great power .

The ship he built has not yet been completed, and this Deng man has already reached out to those overseas businessmen, wanting to monopolize it.

What's more, Zhong Teng is a grudge.He hasn't had time to pursue Deng Qiu's responsibility for leading the little emperor down.

It just so happens that public and private grievances are reported together.

Zhao Chanzhen clapped his hands and said, "Hey, good!" He was so happy that he didn't expect that he and Deng Qiu were still playing together yesterday.

He rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Huang, I still have a good idea. If we make too much fanfare, the Deng family will definitely take precautions. If they jump over the wall in a hurry, it is not impossible for them to seek refuge with Xiao Yu."

"Why don't you let me play with them first~" Zhao Chanzhen had an innocent expression.

Zhong Ting took a deep look at him, thinking that even though this person has gone through a lot of calamities, he still has a bad temper in his bones.

Minister Zhao Chanzhen was asked to see him every day, but Zhong Cheng didn't stay in the imperial study for a long time.

After leaving the palace, the guards in the palace personally sent him back to the mansion.After taking a shower, he changed into fresh clothes, and his long hair was not completely dry. He sat in the garden and continued to carve stones as usual.

No one in the mansion would enter this garden without his permission.

Zhong Cheng sat under the shade of an elm tree, and a small pool was built under the tree. There were bowl lotuses in the pool, and Yuhua stones were placed under it according to his preference.

From time to time he picked out one or two stones from the basket and put them in the pool.

Have fun playing.

"Why do I feel that you are happier here than on the mountain?"

Suddenly there was a voice from the tree, Zhong Teng didn't lift his head, he placed the stone gently with tweezers, "Why are you here again?"

A strange expression appeared on Ying Zhi's face, and her words were a little awkward: "I saw you and Fu Tu... um... You know he will have these memories after the calamity, right?"

Zhong Cheng squinted at him, "Do the gods in the Heavenly Palace also peep?"

"What is voyeurism! I am always ready to help you through difficulties!" Ying Zhi blushed, jumped down from the tree, squatted next to Zhong Cheng, and said, "Fu Tu's mission is originally The heavens made things difficult for him on purpose, do you know that?"

Since a certain war, no gods have descended from the world, and the road to ascension has become extremely difficult, and it is even more difficult for gods to descend to the mortal world.

"Fu Tu has been madly wanting to go back since he went to the sky. I think he may be looking for you."

Zhong Cheng's hand holding the stone stopped, and he said softly, "Really?"

As soon as Futu soared, he was named Futu Xingjun and sat guarding the first palace.It is absolutely impossible for other gods to have such luck.

He once mentioned, the bells of the Tiangong Palace.How would you know if you haven't heard of it?

This ascension is nothing more than returning to his position.

The only thing Zhong Teng lied to him was that he would accompany him to ascend.Now that the retribution came, Zhong Teng rubbed his nose, and he figured it out.

Ying Zhi sighed, these two idiots.Fu Tu couldn't come back, so he had to destroy his divine body, and ended up in this small world to experience reincarnation.

He explained awkwardly: "Although I don't like Futu, I have to explain to him that he didn't mean to leave you behind."

After speaking, he secretly glanced at Zhong Cheng.There was no expression on Zhong Cheng's face, as if the joy and anger around him had nothing to do with him.

Ying Zhi was a little annoyed. Thinking of this master who had spiritual wisdom and could not speak for two to three hundred years, he pushed Zhong Ting: "Oh, don't believe me."

Zhong Teng looked directly at him, and said seriously, "I raised him." He naturally knew Fu Tu's character, whether it was good or bad, no one knew Fu Tu better than him.

Just one sentence shocked Ying Zhi's heart, but also made her feel uncomfortable.

Yes, when they were on the mountain, these two were together.Although in his opinion, it is purely a relationship between parasitism and being parasitized, but who can say that there is no unremarkable relationship between the two of them?

It's not that Zhong Teng can't get rid of Futu's clinging, if he didn't want to, he would have thrown Futu hundreds of miles away.

"I'm talking too much." Ying Zhi's eyes dimmed a bit, and he thought about how he was not as lucky as Fu Tu when he was roasted at that time.

Thinking of the tragic past, Ying Zhi suddenly felt a little redundant.

One of these two people is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and they have a pheasant relationship with him.

"The heavens will soon find out that I came to see you secretly. I don't want to be punished yet, so I won't show up again. See you again when you succeed in the calamity." After speaking, Ying Zhi disappeared in place.

Zhong Cheng was speechless, took out the token from his pocket, and took a look.Hmm...almost full.

Is the task almost complete?

He touched his chest, and the stone source given to Futu was missing a few fragments.
