Baili Tang considered anyone he met who was a stranger and who tried every possible means to get close to him to be a spy. Thanks to Chao Man'er for reminding him. Otherwise, wouldn't all those spy movies I watched over the years have been in vain?
Let’s first investigate whether he is a spy or not.
And this woman named Lin Yiyi, the only thing missing is the word "spy" written on her face.
In ancient times, unmarried girls would disregard their "honesty" and run from the neighboring county to find "men to teach them" in order to learn music. Their motives were impure.
Lord Zhang couldn't be driven away and still wanted to get close to Liang Qiuyu.
Why didn't you, Lin Yiyi, take any action when we were in Xiyun County? Is it because you couldn't find an opportunity?
Therefore, when Master Zhang reported this to Baili Tang, Baili Tang immediately had Lin Yiyi shackled and sent to flush the toilet. He even sent people to watch over her in shifts to prevent her from doing anything bad in secret.
Before being arrested, Lin Yiyi suspected that Zhang Dongzheng might have suspected her. Therefore, when she approached Liang Qiuyu, she must not act rashly.
Who would have thought that Meng Fanger didn't say anything, but just pressed her acupoints and put an anklet on her.
How could this result happen?
Just take it when you say so!
Could it be that someone had already discovered her identity?
It's not that you're not smart enough, you could definitely trick Brother Erhu. But you started by tricking the top scholar...
"I'm the daughter of Mr. Lin from Xiyun County. Lin Yiyi, you've got the wrong person!"
After learning about this, Baili Tang handed the "interrogation work" to Chao Man'er, who had nothing to do. At first, Chao Man'er refused, but later she came.
They are all women with insufficient IQ.
Following her were Liang Erhu and Xiaolian.
"Brother Erhu, have you heard of Mr. Lin's daughter?" Xiaolian asked Liang Erhu.
"Of course I've heard of it! But that girl is very shy...we can..." Liang Erhu said quietly.
Not long after, someone caught a few mice and threw them at Lin Yiyi one by one.
Xiaolian was not afraid of mice - there were many of them living in her dilapidated home.
Chao Man'er was not afraid either, because she had killed people before and often lived in the mountains.
As for Liang Erhu, he had eaten field mouse meat...
But the real Lin Yiyi would be afraid.
But now Lin Yiyi is not afraid at all.
"The interrogation is over." Chao Man'er clapped her hands and said, "I will report to His Majesty." She would never call that man "Imperial Uncle" again.
"Is this the end?" Liang Erhu said reluctantly, "I still want to catch a few more snakes..."
Speaking of snakes, Chao Man'er and Xiaolian were instantly frightened. Lin Yiyi, on the other hand, showed a disdainful smile. Thinking of scaring her like this? Childish!
It's not Chao Man'er and the other two who are childish, it's you, Lin Yiyi. They're trying to trick you. The real Lin Yiyi is not only afraid of mice, but also snakes. Why aren't you afraid at all?
Oh my god, this spy is so stupid.
Chao Man'er knocked Liang Erhu on the head and said, "Let's go. From today on, she will be sent to clean the toilet. She is not allowed to bathe or change clothes."
This move is cruel enough!
"Miss Man'er, this isn't right, is it?" Xiaolian whispered. "What if she gets lice in her hair, like a sow that hasn't had a bath in months, and scares His Majesty and the Empress?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty and Your Majesty will not see her."
This time, when Chao Man'er was injured, it was Xiaolian who took care of her, so their relationship had eased a lot. They couldn't be said to be intimate, but at least they didn't fight.
Lin Yiyi: “…”
You three little bitches just wait for me!
Upon learning that Erhu and his men had captured a spy, Liang Qiuyu didn't take it too seriously. She didn't even harbor a hint of curiosity. Many people in the world wanted to harm His Majesty. If she, Liang Qiuyu, couldn't share His Majesty's burden, she could at least prevent him from worrying about her safety.
That day, His Majesty said that back in the palace, he couldn't protect her all the time and worry about her safety. Liang Qiuyu was now studying non-stop. She needed to show His Majesty through her actions that she was no longer that simple-minded peasant girl.
Royal Building No. 2 is under construction and summer rice is being purchased.
One dan of good rice can be sold for 1,000 wen = one liang. The original price was 700 wen per dan.
One dan of millet, which was flooded, could be sold for 600 wen. The original price was 300 wen per dan.
But every village and town can gather 500 dan of good rice and exchange it for a Royal No. 1 thresher, which can be shared by all the people in the village.
1,000 shi of rice can also be exchanged for a Royal No. 1 thresher.
10 mu of rice can produce 3,500 jin of good rice, or 35 dan.
Moreover, the imperial court has granted tax exemptions to the counties that were severely affected by the disaster this year.
Initially, the price of the Royal No. 1 thresher was 1,000 taels per unit. Now, that price has more than been cut in half. Firstly, the purchase price of millet has increased significantly!
In this way, the price is less than 500 taels, which is less than the price of a thresher.
What's more, Baili Tang was so willful that he exempted the people affected by the disaster from taxes.
Jingguo is not the 21st century, but a feudal society where the natural economy (small peasant economy) is dominant. Tax cuts are absolutely impossible.
Regardless of what others say, Baili Tang has never reduced taxes for the people during his years in power.
In fact, because the treasury was empty and annual tributes were paid to enemy countries, the country had to raise taxes on the people many times.
In the words of Lord Wang, "Your Majesty, you are no longer like Your Majesty. Such a kind-hearted king is a blessing to all the people!"
How did the people around react?
Two words: Crazy!
Four words: Abnormally crazy!!
Especially the landlords and rich peasants, with 600 acres of land, the output of one season could be exchanged for four royal threshers!
