Chapter 195: Really Fragrance

Bei Jingchu no longer complained about the unreasonableness of the public land.

And judging by the situation in Pingzhou, other state capitals are likely to have the same problem.

Scholars are not familiar with general affairs, so asking them to manage the economy is really difficult.

Really, she really wanted to complain.

【Who came up with this idea? 】

[It can't be really my father? 】

【Or my dead great-father? 】

[But seeing how scared they are, it's more likely that it's my dad.]

[Mom, Aye, I can be silly sometimes. 】

Bei Jingchu's advice is: "Specialists have their own expertise."

"Governor, scholars are arrogant and disdain to associate with merchants."

"But these things are difficult for you, but they can be easily solved in the hands of merchants."

The governor seemed to have reached his limit and could not hold back his voice, so he shouted, "No!"

"Merchants are lowly and unworthy, not even qualified for the imperial examinations, how can they interfere in government affairs?"

Other students in Botang, including Guo Yang, even agreed with the governor's words.

"Your Highness, please don't come here rashly. The court is full of talented people."

"It's not like Pingzhou is without people to use. Why should we let those merchants come and pollute the integrity of the government office?"

Every reply he gave was from a perspective that Bei Jingchu couldn't understand.

"Let the task be left to those who are good at it. Why bother talking about what is dirty or not?"

"What are you talking about?"

However, they also did not understand why Bei Jingchu, as a princess of Dai Viet, could say something to allow Shang Jia to interfere in the government affairs of the prefecture.

She just sat there in confusion, watching her fellow brothers who had been so friendly and harmonious all along the way, while the governor stood on the opposite side, criticizing her stance.

Although everyone spoke gently, she still felt very uncomfortable.

"It's too boring here. If you think my suggestion is ridiculous, forget it."

She walked out, and Lei Nian'er and Bei Hua naturally followed her.

When they arrived at the garden of the governor's mansion, Bei Qin caught up with them in a hurry.

Bei Jingchu stopped and waited.

He trotted up to him, and the boy panted: "Now you understand what I said to you, those people's necks are just decorations."

"It's a simple question, but you make it complicated."

"Rules are everything, there is no room for flexibility."

"You ask them to change something, it's like asking them to die."

Bei Jingchu recalled the time when she sneaked out of the palace and met the envoy of Tu Ning in the wine house.

Bei Qin was angry that day because local officials could make simple things complicated.

Bei Jingchu couldn't understand his resentment and wanted to laugh at him.

It's all retribution...

The little girl hung her head, very unhappy.

Bei Qin rarely saw his little cousin looking so vulnerable, and couldn't help but ruffle her hair.

You can still rub it while it's still small. When it grows up, it will be forbidden for men and women to touch each other.

He finally acted like a qualified and gentle brother, counseling his sulking cousin: "The first time, I was also very angry."

"But now I'm used to it. It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words."

"After all, they are the parents of this area and the ones who call the shots."

"No matter how correct we think our considerations are, we can only make suggestions. It is up to them to decide whether to use them or not."

"So, if one day, I can become the governor myself, that would be great."

As he spoke, he realized that he still hadn't heard Bei Jingchu's thoughts.

When she's around, she's too quiet and I'm not used to it yet.

He didn't know whether she had listened or not, so he could only continue to ask as they walked, "Do you remember when Master Jiang talked about the precepts for women?"

"Deep down inside, perhaps without even realizing it, they don't want another group of people to reach the same position as them."

"Even if it means sacrificing the interests of the court."

"As long as it doesn't sacrifice too much of their own interests."

The truth was clearly pointed out, but Bei Jingchu became even more unhappy.

Bei Qin extended his hand: "Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Now that you've explained the simplest solution to the problem, it's none of our business."

"Don't worry, they will come to a compromise sooner or later after much discussion."

"After all, the money was not coming back and the expenses were not enough to cover the income."

"As a provincial governor, he will be held accountable by His Majesty."

"If they are demoted, it will be their own business."

"We just have to have fun and wait."

In the study over there, the governor saw that these students either could not think of anything, or the suggestions they made were far-fetched and unrealistic.

It is feasible, but there are too many obstacles.

He couldn't help but ask the respected teacher beside him: "Master, what do you think..."

The one watching over the students today was Master You. He stroked his beard and asked, "What am I looking at?"

"Your Highness has already come up with the simplest idea."

"If you have other ideas, you can make your own decision."

"Otherwise, it's not the children who are being trained, but me."

Originally, the governor thought that the matter should be delayed, and he did not want to let the merchants get involved in the government affairs.

But one who does not worry about the future will surely have immediate worries. A county government office in Pingzhou collapsed after being eaten by termites.

However, the treasury of the county government was still running out of money.

If you take money from him...

Then subsequent events will also be affected.

He thought of Princess Tianzhen's idea, and decided to let Shang Jia do it.

Not long after, the governor heard the progress and said, "Indeed, if we give it to the merchants, they will have many ways to get the money back."

"It can also maximize the benefits for public land."

"Moreover, they don't ask for any reward. As long as they can get in touch with the government, they will be grateful."

He nodded, but his brows did not relax.

The governor sighed and said, "The problem that has been bothering Pingzhou has been solved, but why do I feel so upset?"

"Does this mean that every time we solve this kind of long-standing problem, we have to ignore the rules and take an unconventional approach?"

Bieji advised: "Governor, as long as it is useful, it doesn't matter if the sword goes astray."

The governor rolled his eyes at him, twitched his clothes, and said sternly, "What do you know? A scholar's integrity must not be lost."

Bieji tried to hold it in for a while, but couldn't help it and said, "Come on, you said before that no matter what, the court would not let us starve to death."

"It is absolutely impossible to let Shang Jia do it using the method Princess Tianzhen suggested."

"It's only been four days."

Governor: ...Don't say that. The little princess doesn't even know that he has surrendered.

He didn't even dare to think about whether the unreasonable little princess would laugh at him after he told this tomorrow because of his previous fierce opposition.

but.

but!

This time is just an exception, an exception!

Three days later.

The governor squatted down in front of Bei Jingchu and said, "Your Highness, do you have any idea about this matter?"
