Two carriages are driving on the streets of Kyoto.

Su Wen and Zhao Wanrou were in the car in front, and Zhao Jin and Chu He followed behind with an empty car.

"Ningcai from Ning'an Palace has raised a civet cub for the past few days, it's very cute."

"Fresh river carps were delivered to the palace yesterday, and the fish soup made is extremely fresh. I'll bring you two tomorrow."

"The weather is getting warmer, but my concubine said that I should wear more clothes, otherwise I won't catch cold easily."

Zhao Wanrou shared her life with Su Wen, Su Wen smiled and listened.

A sense of satisfaction rose in the girl's heart. For her, this was very good.

"I heard that you made a song and sang a song during the palace banquet, can you let me listen to it?" Zhao Wanrou's eyes were full of anticipation.

Su Wen smiled and said, "Let's wait another day."

"good"

There are many restaurants in Kyoto, and Mingyueju's reputation is not too high among them.

But Ji Yuchen likes the fish in Mingyueju very much.

When I was in Kyoto, I often came here to eat.

Now I have lived in Jiangzhou for a long time, and I will never forget it when I return to Kyoto.

Although he did help the people as in the rumors, it was not as miserable as the rumors. It was just the rumors of the people that he lived in thatched huts.

It's just more in line with the image of an upright official in their hearts.

On the second floor of Mingyue Residence, Ji Yuchen lightly twisted his beard, took a mouthful of fish, and put it in his mouth. It was so tender that it melted in the mouth.

There was a smile between his brows and eyes, he looked at the old man opposite and said with a smile: "Brother Mo, I haven't seen you for many years, you should have a drink today."

The brother Mo he was talking about was Liu Mo, a famous scholar in Kyoto.

The two have a deep friendship.

The two exchanged cups and drank a cup.

Then Ji Yuchen asked, "Brother Mo, I heard that old fellow Guo Bin was beaten up?"

There was no friendship between him and Guo Bin, and there was a bit of schadenfreude in his tone.

Liu Mo sighed and said: "It is true that it happened. I was beaten up by that wicked young man in the capital, Su Wen, but His Majesty is partial to this person. Lao Guo's plan is to suffer for nothing. His age will make people slap their mouths. After going back Coupled with anger, I haven't seen him in this period of time, and I don't know what happened."

Ji Yuchen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty shouldn't have done this. No matter what Guo Bin said, he was a veteran of the former court and a master in the literary world. Why did he just let a dude beat him up and ignore him? When the sage listens to the banquet, I will definitely find His Majesty." Let’s talk about this matter again. This capital can’t be so unruly.”

Liu Mo quickly persuaded: "Brother Yuchen, if you want me to tell you, don't meddle in this matter. Su Wen is the son of Su Changqing. Although he is ignorant, when he beat someone that day, after all, it was because of Guo Bin Wait for someone to speak harshly to Su Changqing first, and the court has made a final decision on this matter, even if you tell His Majesty, His Majesty will not pursue it any further, and it will make it difficult for His Majesty to do so."

Ji Yuchen said in a deep voice: "I wait for literati, I have to have some backbone! Your Majesty's indulgence of the rich and rich is definitely not a good thing! This matter needs to be persuaded! Even if I lose my head, I have to persuade, although I don't like Guo Bin, but this time Speaking of things, Su Wen has gone too far!"

As the two of them were talking, they heard noises outside, indicating that someone had gone upstairs.

"You two, how do you see this mountain and river? It's close to the street, and you can enjoy the scenery."

"Okay! We'll just stay here, pick a few specialty dishes and serve them up!" Su Wen said directly without looking at the menu.

Zhao Wanrou laughed.

Su Wen was hungry after walking around for a while, so he insisted on bringing her to eat.

The two sat down, Zhao Wanrou smiled and said: "Father may not be in a good mood these two days, so don't mess with him!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two old guys next door turned serious instantly. The one who could say such words must be the princess!

Liu Mo made a silent gesture, and the two listened attentively.

Su Wen didn't think he asked curiously, "What happened?"

Zhao Wanrou said: "Last year, there was a severe drought in Lizhou, and the harvest was not good. A few days ago, the officials who went to Lizhou to relieve the disaster were killed. The mob rose up, and many martial arts sects followed suit. Now the whole Lizhou is in turmoil. Father He seems to have smashed a teacup yesterday, he is rarely so angry."

Su Wen raised his eyebrows, what happened?

The two people next door also frowned and exchanged a look. This is no small matter.

Zhao Wanrou sighed and said, "The people of my Great Zhou Dynasty are still too poor."

"Hehe!" Su Wen sneered and said, "Do you think the rebellion is because the people are too poor?"

Zhao Wanrou asked curiously: "Isn't it? The people will naturally cause chaos if they can't eat. If everyone has food, how can such a thing happen?"

Su Wen shook his head and sighed: "The biggest problem of the Great Zhou is not that the people are too poor, but that some people are too rich!"

Seeing Zhao Wanrou's puzzled face, Su Wen explained: "Right now in the Great Zhou Dynasty, most of the rich and powerful are engaged in business, and the combination of power and wealth, coupled with the corruption of some people, can be said to make a lot of money, but in the Great Zhou Dynasty There is just so much money, and 90% of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of less than one adult. The people have no money or food in their hands. They cannot withstand any disasters. Once there is a problem, the people have only two ways to live. One, it is to wait for the court to rescue, and the second is to make trouble and save yourself!"

"But this is waiting for relief from the court, which involves various aspects. As you said just now, the disaster relief official was killed! Why was he killed? Was it killed by the mob? Of course not! Because the court has allocated money and food to him for disaster relief. With His Majesty's character, if he fails in disaster relief, he will be the first to die, so he will definitely do his best. Then logically speaking, the disaster in Lizhou should be quelled! But now he is dead! The one who did it is Who? What kind of conflict of interest is there?"

After all, Zhao Wanrou came from the palace, she frowned and said, "You mean, someone deliberately manipulated this rebellion! Why?"

Su Wen said with a smile: "Naturally, it is for greater rights and interests! Lizhou's rebellion, as you said, has already involved several martial arts sects. If Lizhou can stand on its own in the end, then there is no need to say their benefits Even if they are not self-reliant in the end, and countless people die in battle and become displaced, what will happen to the land and people left behind? I am afraid that countless people will sell themselves as slaves, and the people behind them will wantonly annex the land, and the long-term benefits will not be too much!"

"Now these mobs are still alive and rebelling in an organized way. Then, where does the money and food here come from? So, the reason for this rebellion is not that the people are too poor, but some people are too rich!"

Appreciation flashed across Zhao Wanrou's wonderful eyes, she never expected that Su Wen would have such insights.

She leaned over and said with a smile: "Then tell me, what should we do? How can we make the powerful not so rich? How can we make the common people rich?"

Feeling the girl's adoring eyes, Su Wen pondered for a while, and said: "If you don't tell His Majesty what you have said today, I will tell you."

"Okay!" Zhao Wanrou readily agreed.
