I heard his words have a profound meaning and smiled and said, "What a god?"

After saying that, Kuankuan walked up the steps, Lao Zhu hurriedly said, "Just Master Cha was betting on Caiwei and the others in the room, and he won much better; he said that he could defend the position by listening to the voice, but Caiwei couldn't do it, so he made a contribution, saying that he heard that his wife was back and asked me to come out to see. I thought this man was pretending to be a ghost, but he didn't expect it to be true!"

I was so amused: "They are gambling in there?"

Lao Zhu's face froze, for fear that my master would not like the servants to do these things in the mansion, so he didn't dare to speak anymore. I held back my laughter and asked the opponent to drive to the side door before walking in.

From afar, I heard the noisy sounds of Caiwei and the others inside-

"You must be bragging!"

"Hehe, the mountain man never lies."

"Mrs. I just came back yesterday. How could I come back today? You must have deceived us!"

"Oh, believe it or not, you can tell at a glance."

I also found it funny to hear Chabixing's unfathomable tone, but I walked slowly with my hands behind my back. Seeing that I walked to the door of the side hall, I saw a group of them setting up a table. There were indeed dice, dice cups, and some scattered money on the table. The money in front of Chabixing had already become a hill.

As soon as he saw me walking to the door of the side hall, Chabixing immediately smiled, and Caiwei and the others suddenly widened their eyes, just like seeing a ghost.

The next moment, they finally came to their senses and hurried over to salute me: "Madam!"

"We, we were wrong."

"We are not gambling, we are just-"

I didn't know what to say, so I walked in slowly, looking at the mess on the table, and before I could even speak anxiously, Chabixing laughed and said, "Miss, don't be angry. As the saying goes, small gambling can make you happy, big gambling can hurt your body. On heavy snow, everyone has nothing to do, so-"

"So Yiyiqing, right?"

"hey-hey."

I smiled and shook my head, looked at the money on the table, looked at Caiwei and the others, and asked, "How much did you lose?"

Caiwei was fine, but when Xiaoni and Xixi heard this, they felt so distressed that their teeth were sore and they shrugged.

I said, "Well, you are willing to be happy, and I don't care about you. Anyway, everyone has so much monthly money. If you want to be happy, just 'shift' your monthly money."

They looked at each other and were about to cry.

I waved my hand and said, "Go down."

"yes."

When they all left, I looked back at Chabixing. He was still smiling. I smiled and said, "Young Master is so happy."

"Snowy day, are you bored?"

"When did Xishan Academy start teaching such skills? It was taught by Fu Badai? Or Nan Zhenyi?"

"No one comes to teach, self-taught."

I was more and more laughing. At this time, Caiwei was already busy collecting the things on the table, sending me hot tea, and then said carefully: "Why are Madam coming back today?"

"Come back and see," I said, as I sat lazily in the chair: "Fortunately I'm back, otherwise my house would have become a gambling house."

This time, Caiwei's face turned red and she hurriedly took the tea tray and left.

Then I turned around and looked at Chabixing.

He smiled, as if he was not concerned about his own affairs, and said with a smile: "Just just now, they said that after the eldest lady entered the palace, she has been back less and she will definitely not come back today."

I smiled and said, "How did the young master know that he still asked Lao Zhu to come to see me?"

He smiled and pointed at his ear: "I heard it."

I was stunned and immediately remembered that he was also from Xishan Academy. The special breathing technique could help them detect things far away around them. As the top three figures among the students, he naturally practiced very well.

And I also know why his "gambling skills" are so good.

While thinking and laughing, Chabixing turned his head to look at me and said with interest: "It's true. The eldest lady is back today. It seems that it's easy to enter and leave the palace, and it's not troublesome."

I was angry and funny when I heard what he said, but there was no need to say anything to him at this time. Not everyone would understand my experience. I just said lightly: "That palace gate is not so easy to enter, and it is even less easy to exit. I came out today to ask the young master for something."

"Looking for me? What's the matter?"

"Young Master left Xichuan and came to Beijing to find me this time. Have you ever told me?"

Chabixing was stunned for a moment and looked up at me: "Of course I have to explain clearly to the academy."

"Where is the Yan family?" I looked at him and asked with a smile: "I know that over the years, Nan Zhenyi has managed Xishan Academy very well, and the Yan family no longer cares about the academy. Have you come and talked to my brother this time?"

Chabixing called out: "The students said that this time it was a starry night trip, and the road was so urgent, so where can I still have time to go to Chengdu? However, the senior brother mentioned it and asked someone to go to Chengdu to report a letter."

"Oh," I nodded, lowered my head to hold the tea bowl, and said inadvertently: "Then have you heard of something happening to the Yan family around the time you left?"

"What happened?"

This time, Chabixing frowned: "What's the matter?"

Although he always looked hippie and cynical, he was not easy to perfunctory when he became serious. I thought about it and simply spread it out and said: "A few days ago, the governor of Shaanxi Road was killed by local people because of his ineffective implementation of the new policy. Have you heard of it?"

Chabixing shook his head.

I continued, "Last time later, the emperor sent a censor to Shaanxi to take over government affairs. This man was assassinated as soon as he entered Shaanxi, and he was assassinated. Have you heard of this?"

Chabixing still shook his head.

"Is there any statement in Chengdu?"

Chabixing looked at me with a smile: "Miss, it was done by the head of the family?"

I thought about it, took a deep breath, and said, "I don't think it should be him."

“…”

"However, the current court situation is very chaotic. This matter is very similar to their work in Yangzhou. The emperor suspected that the court officials would participate in the book, and even if it was not, this matter would be turned into yes."

Chabixing raised his eyebrows.

He said, "I came all the way from Shaanxi to Beijing."

"Then, what do you see on the road?"

He said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor has been implementing his new policy in the Central Plains. This new policy seems to have the hard work of Senior Brother Liu and Miss."

I'm too lazy to be modest: "Yeah."

"The effort has been spent, but the intention has come. Unfortunately, the heart is moved, the intention is moved, and the body does not move."

When I heard this, my heart suddenly stumbled: "What do you mean?"

He smiled and said, "Miss, do you know, how is the new policy implemented in Shaanxi?"

I frowned and said, "It seems that the emperor's intention is not very ideal."

Chabixing laughed: "The officials in Shaanxi followed the rules of the new policy and no longer collected the count tax, but began to measure the land tax, and the powerful gentry who owned large tracts of land also had to find a way."

"What are they thinking?"

"Divid the land, to, or sell it to farmers."

"Is this a good thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing, but what they sell is all wastelands and saline-alkali land full of dark stones."

My face darkened.

"That's right, as long as you raise these lands and cultivate them carefully, you will get rewards. But the problem is that officials don't give the people time to raise these lands. The farmers assigned to the land will have to bear heavier taxes in the second month than before."

“…”

"These ordinary people have no choice but to escape from their registered residence, and even to evade taxes and sell themselves to the powerful gentry again in order to pay taxes."

“…”

"Then the government punished heavily on the grounds that these people were unlucky people. The land under the name of those powerful and powerful gentry divided and sold all the land under their names and sold them. The government would naturally protect the land that was really good, and there was no way to measure it. The tax they paid was different from the people's."

I gritted my teeth when I heard this - it turned out that the so-called new policy is difficult to implement, and this is a difficult law!

Chabixing said with a smile: "The implementation of the new policy is just a sentence. If you are moved, you will be moved but your body will not move. What can you do?"

I gritted my teeth and said, "In this way, that governor deserves the guilt!"

Chabixing raised his eyebrows: "The truth of nature is clear."

Indeed, although the canon cannot be understood, if someone kills him, it will also eliminate harm for the people.

But, who killed Nangong Jinhong's nephew, that censor?

He had not arrived in Shaanxi yet and had no policy program. Could it be that the person who assassinated the governor hated the officials of the court, so he even killed him in anger? Or—

As if I saw the doubts in my heart, Chabixing said: "It seems that the Shaanxi Provincial Administration Officer was killed. It seems that the local people should have done it correctly. After all, there are causes and consequences in this matter. It is not a strange thing that someone has the right to act on behalf of the heavens and rises up to resist."

I nodded: "Not bad."

"However, it's a bit interesting to be killed when the censor is still on the way."

He said, touching his chin with a funny look: "Can someone be like me, who can know that this person is a black-hearted carrot, and before he can take office, he will start first?"

I was amused by him again and couldn't help but smile: "You are a prophet?"

Chabixing laughed loudly.

I coughed twice, tried to make myself serious, and then said, "No one can predict the uncertainty. Besides, the censor went there lightly, but he didn't tell anyone about his identity, so why was he killed?"

Chabixing thought for a while, and then said, "The biggest benefit of students studying ancient books, do you know what it is?"
