reincarnated as king

Bei Gongdi followed Yuan Yunzhi to the lakeside for a banquet, and sure enough, he saw four or five young men in brocade clothes who were about the same age as Yuan Yunzhi.The people who called each other brothers met, and soon became familiar. During the exchange of wine and wine, several of them beat around the bush to find out Bei Gongdi's origin, but Bei Gongdi politely stopped them from going back.Occasionally, some news is revealed that is [-]% true and [-]% false, such as the surname Huang Mingtian, who came from the capital.

The gazes of the few who looked at him suddenly became a little higher. Although the emperor's southern tour did not come here, the imperial driver still stayed in the capital of Xuzhou.But judging by the extravagance of this life, it is not guaranteed that he is an unattainable figure.However, the sky of Duyang Mansion is high and the emperor is far away, and these people are pampered and have no ambitions. They don't have the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation, but their attitudes are a little more enthusiastic.

Bei Gongdi has always been a good wine drinker. When he was King Sai in the north, he practiced a good drinking capacity in the bitter cold weather in the army.Although this Jiangnan famous wine "Xinghuacun" is not spicy, but after the soft taste, there is a hint of drunkenness in the sweetness. After three rounds of drinking, everyone's faces are slightly drunk, and they can't help but let go .Yuan Yunzhi took advantage of the situation and suggested:

"Brother Huang, this is the first time I have come to Duyang. You should know that I have three beauties in Duyang: one is Liyang spring apricot blossoms, the other is drizzle Duhu, and Sanli is naturally the pink beauty in Duhu. Why don't we go and appreciate one or two? "

If at any other time, someone dared to openly propose such an inconspicuous invitation in front of Bei Gongdi, let alone coldly rejecting it, it would be normal for him to be killed with a stick.But at this moment, Bei Gongdi only felt his heart move, and said with a faint smile, "I'm going to bother you." The young masters laughed frivolously when they heard the words, "Brother, brother" called very eagerly.Originally, seeing this new acquaintance Huang Tian had a cold face, he thought he was not easy to get close to, but unexpectedly he was also understanding.

Several people left the restaurant immediately, Bei Gongdi saw Yuan Yunzhi handing over a jade plaque with the words "commercial firm" written on it, and suddenly thought about it.He already knew that Yuan Yunzhi was the only son of the magistrate of Duyang. It seemed that the integration of officials and businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River was really serious.

Since the first silk reeling field appeared in the south at the end of the fourth year of Qianning, the textile industry in various places has sprung up like mushrooms after rain.Under the influence of Bei Gongdi's "head tax" decree, "no cattle tax" decree, and "primogenarian inheritance law", many widowed farmers voluntarily handed over their farmland, which was then sold to big landlords by the abbot of the government.A large number of farmers left their hometowns, some immigrated, and some provided labor for the handicraft industry, cotton textile industry, and tea industry that emerged in the south of the Yangtze River, and became workers in a sudden transformation.

Bei Gongdi recalled that along the way, many corrupt officials who took advantage of their power and maliciously occupied land were eliminated.And this is already two years after Wang Shan came to the south of the Yangtze River, the situation under rectification, the original situation can be imagined how bad it is.Bei Gongdi naturally understands the truth of "not to be clean", but after the "anti-corruption" storm ten years ago, the official circles in the Jiangnan area are so pervasive and shocking. The collusion between officials and businessmen makes Bei Gongdi sigh. death, birds die for food.

Bei Gongdi followed Yuan Yunzhi and a few others, and was invited to a building in a lake.The shape of this lake is like a jade ring, and there is a small peninsula in the middle of the lake, with a panoramic view of the scenery, the scenery is unique.Bei Gongdi walked all the way, and all he saw were extremely luxurious decorations, and the heavily hung gauze curtains created a dreamy and chaotic atmosphere.

It really is all over the south of the Yangtze River.Bei Gongdi sat in the first guest seat, and Yuan Yunzhi, who was sitting in the main seat, ordered people.After a while, several beauties quietly walked in from the side hall, all of them had picturesque features, delicate and graceful, some were slender, weak, and charming.Bei Gongdi's eyelids twitched slightly, and saw the last effeminate young man coming to the side of a "Mr. Duan" among the group of people, drinking with him... Seeing that the people around him seemed to be surprised, obviously He is familiar with the south wind but not good at it.

Naturally, several of them had good friends, and they became friends with Yingying and Yanyan one after another.Bei Gongdi casually ordered a woman holding a pipa, and told her to play the tune, while squinting her eyes, another dignified woman in red was softly punched on the shoulder, enjoying it.

Yuan Yunzhi looked at Qi Renzhifu's happy attitude here, and couldn't help but teased: "Brother Huang is really good at it, but Miss Zhiyue rarely likes people."

"Oh?" Bei Gongdi smiled lazily, and held the catkin of the woman in red with one hand, and saw that the pink glow was dizzy, and she lowered her head slightly, showing a good mood.Zhihua took a glass of wine from the table and put it to his lips, Bei Gongdi drank it, and said: "A beautiful day, a beautiful woman is by the side, isn't it the most joyful thing."

"Naturally, it's the number one happiest thing." Before Bei Gongdi finished speaking, the door was forcefully opened, and a man in brocade broke in. Along with this sentence, it was Fang Jingxuan.

Hearing his voice, Bei Gongdi froze, and the discomfort in some part of his body still existed, so he couldn't help but look even worse, and snorted coldly.

Bei Gongdi stared at him: "What are you doing here?"

Yuan Yunzhi's eyes lit up, the visitor behaved gracefully, with a trace of bookishness on his body, he was a rare person to see.Seeing that he was acquainted with Huang Tian, ​​Yuan Yunzhi did not stop him.Fang Jingxuan strode up to Bei Gongdi, leaned over the table and said four words in a low voice.Bei Gongdi's face turned red in an instant, and he threw away Miss Zhihua with both hands, showing a look of anger and embarrassment, "You...you..."

Fang Jingxuan raised the corners of her lips, lifted Bei Gongdi's chin and kissed it.These changes immediately stunned several people, and the sound of musical instruments playing in the room also stopped abruptly.When Yuan Yunzhi came to Fireworks and Willow Lane before, it wasn't that he hadn't encountered tigresses from other people's homes who came to arrest people, and even laughed at those men's embarrassing posture several times.But it was the first time that such a rare man came here to catch....

After thinking about it, he felt a little regretful, he never thought that a man as imposing as Huang Tian would fall on a man's head.

Fang Jingxuan hugged Bei Gongdi's slender waist with one arm, and let him lean against his arms to struggle helplessly. Facing the weird and burning eyes of the few people above, she smiled without changing her expression: "In the next scene, my brother Su I don’t know how serious it is, I’m bothering you all today.”

Bei Gongdi had already blushed from being belittled by him in public, but he didn't want to be leaned on so intimately by Fang Jingxuan again, and immediately wanted to push him away.Unexpectedly, Fang Jingxuan's hand slipped slightly, with a hint of doting on his face, he lowered his head and said, "Don't make trouble, Adi."

"It's nothing, ah, brother Fang can do as he pleases." Yuan Yunzhi felt that today was a real eye-opener, he snuggled into Pinkie's arms and waved, casually said.

Fang Jingxuan's deep eyes flickered slightly, one hand clasped the pulse gate in Bei Gongdi's hand, and the other hand wrapped around the latter's waist. Before leaving, he said meaningfully: "I will temporarily stay at Qiuxin Villa in the north of the city. I will see you later."

After leaving the island in the middle of the lake, Bei Gongdi was brought into the carriage by Fang Jingxuan. At this moment, the night was dark, and the silk and bamboo in the center had gradually disappeared, leaving only the misty sound of water waves on the lakeside.The carriage became quiet, and Bei Gongdi took advantage of the light to take a quick look at Fang Jingxuan's expression. There was no emotion on the face opposite him, and he couldn't help feeling a little tangled in his heart.But when he thought of what Fang Jingxuan had done just now, all the slight discomfort turned into raging anger.

Seen by his phoenix eyes, which were almost seduced by him, and became brighter because of anger, Fang Jingxuan immediately decided not to bear it any longer, turned over and pressed Bei Gongdi on the thick velvet cushion in the carriage, his eyes darkened Shen: "How do I compare to those women?" His hoarse voice lingered in Bei Gongdi's ears.

Bei Gongdi was taken aback by the undisguised look in his eyes, and wanted to turn his head to avoid it, but he was held down firmly. He became flustered for a while, tried his best to restrain himself and said in a low voice: "I'm just here Those who are 'inspecting', let go... Those people just now are the rich and powerful sons of Duyang...Fang Jingxuan!"

Hearing the intermittent explanation, Fang Jingxuan looked at the stubborn but watery eyes, and his heart trembled.He took a deep breath, picked him up and sat back on his seat: "Don't move, or you won't be able to do it."

Yesterday, the two came to visit a tea house under the name of Fangfu in Duyang. They happened to meet with a small tea fight. Fang Jingxuan wrote a tea poem on a whim during the competition under an alias, which amazed everyone.Jiangnan's daughter's family is quite bold, but also likes talented people, and they handed over flowers and fresh fruits directly. After Bei Gongdi teased her, she felt a little appetizing, so she left the table alone and walked around the tea house.

In the afternoon, Fang Jingxuan handed over the token and the owner of the tea house secretly explained the origin, and the subordinate knew the identities of the two under the aliases of imperial envoys.Afterwards, when the two of them were alone in the study, Bei Gongdi couldn't help but speak coldly to each other, unexpectedly getting angry.After being captured, Bei Gongdi was furious and extremely embarrassed, and left the mansion the next day for an outing.

Fang Jingxuan has two instrument rings in his hands, Bei Gongdi doesn't believe that he can't find him.He was unwilling to expose this matter like this, and pinched Fang Jingxuan bitterly: "Those people are useful, you are like today, teach me how to meet them again!"

Fang Jingxuan apologized in a good voice: "It's my fault." After a while, he muttered: "I will meet them later."

"Where did you go in a day?" Bei Gongdi knocked off the hand that was moving on his leg with a wave of his hand, Fang Jingxuan changed hands, and Bei Gongdi sat sideways in his arms, asking uncomfortably with.

Fang Jingxuan's face became heavy when he heard the words, and said: "I went to a silk reeling factory in the north of the city." Holding Bei Gongdi's hand with some strength, "Adi, when will the "Workshop Law" be promulgated?"

Seeing the unbearable expression flashing across his face, Bei Gongdi calmed down.I can’t help but think of a few words in the record of the "primitive accumulation of capital" in the historical materials: "...the formation of the employment relationship makes the handicraftsmen completely subordinate to the merchants, and becomes wage laborers who have nothing... all Value is exploited as much as possible, workers work long hours in exchange for extremely low remuneration, while women and children are paid no more than a third of the wages..."

Although Bei Gongdi has taken the lead in stipulating equal pay for men and women, and all ten-year-old children must go to free schools (under fierce disputes with the six departments, they finally compromised and established another girls' school, with separate schools for boys and girls), which in disguise has avoided child labor. Tragedy, but what he can expect is that in terms of purely pursuing interests, human nature is common cruelty...

Bei Gongdi came back to his senses, saw Fang Jingxuan's deep and hopeful eyes, and said slowly: "After Yangzhou, I will discuss with Wang Shan and promulgate it." He sighed, thinking of the things he saw today. The extravagance of the upper-class dignitaries is in stark contrast to what Fang Jingxuan's unbearable expression reveals.Once the emperor thinks, the common people will live for a hundred generations.However, a step-by-step prophet is far-sighted, and a step-by-step prophet is a disaster, which will only cause unforeseen tragedies.

He couldn't help but hold back tightly: "You and I have long-cherished wishes that the family and country will be strong and the people will be happy-if I can't even keep the people, what use are these officials?"
