After Yingyan withdrew, Yao Yu relaxed a bit and said, "You did a good job confiscating the property of the Yang family and the former right minister. A few days ago, the city gate reported that the reinforcement went smoothly. To support the armament of the entire Qiu Chi country, this amount of money is still a drop in the bucket. We must think of a new way to generate more money for the treasury."

Qin Zhongzhi nodded slightly, "What Immortal Fairy said is true. Often the most direct way to increase revenue for the treasury is to increase taxes. From the current point of view, it is not a wise move for the country or the people. We also need to prevent someone from using tax increases as an excuse. An excuse to tarnish Immortal Fairy's reputation."

"I know." Yao Yu said with success, "So I have to find another way." She stood up and walked to the door, looking at Fuqiling in the distance, and said, "Do you know why the folk customs of Qiuchi Kingdom are so prevalent?" funeral?"

Qin Zhongzhi stepped up to follow Zhao Yu, stood behind her, and replied respectfully, "It's because Fuqi Ridge is famous for its geomantic omen of 'Dragon Saliva Pearl'. Ze descendants."

"Yeah." Yao Yu nodded, "Since it is such a precious land, it should be able to sell for a good price. Spread the news to the major clans and tell them that they can buy the cemetery for an inch of land and ten thousand gold. Langya Wang's and Chenjun's Xie's They have all moved to the south, and they are willing to spend a lot of money to build a tomb for their ancestors in the Central Plains again. With their two families leading them, the clans in the north will definitely not be outdone."

"This..." Qin Zhongzhi frowned, "I'm afraid that the old ministers of Qiu Chi will not allow it. They were born here and grew up here. The respect for Fuqiling cannot be bought with money. This move will definitely anger them. "

Yao Yu blinked slyly, and said with a smile, "In ancient times, Jiang Ziya and Jiang Shang made gods, and this palace is a celestial girl who descended to earth. Why can't I follow the example of the gods?"

Qin Zhongzhi's eyes widened, "Xian Ji is saying that in the name of the goddess, the ancestors of the clan are conferred gods?"

"That's right!" Yao Yu said while admiring the Danko nails that Yingyan had just dyed for her, "All the clans are wealthy families with centuries-old families. Which one of the ancestors was not an extraordinary person? God general. Set up a clothes tomb on Fuqi Ridge. This is the place where the ancestors of the major clans meet. Which clan will watch the courts on both sides hurt the feng shui of their ancestral graves? As long as the powerful clans stand on the side of Qiuchi By the side, Qiu Chi's city wall will always be impregnable."

"The Immortal Fairy is such a clever plan!" Qin Zhongzhi was convinced at this time, "As long as you tell the ministers how powerful it is, they will not refuse."

"You go to Liang Weng, send a few smart people to each house, remember to put a higher stance, let them beg us, this matter can only be done."

"Remember, my minister. Please rest assured, Xian Ji."

"One more thing..." Yao Yu was silent for a while before replying, "Send someone you trust to find out where my mother is now, and don't let the news out."

"Yes. It's just that I would like to ask Xian Ji to allow me some time for this matter. All the people around me who need to use have returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty with General Tuoba. I have already gone to Xin's home and invited the elders of the clan to send young people from the Qingyue Sect. The disciples come to Qiuchi, so they will be able to take action soon."

Yao Yu nodded slightly, "You have done a good job, and this matter is not in a hurry. But it is indeed time to cultivate some of our own cronies."

Yao Yu turned her head and looked at a dark corner in the hall, "You should go to Pengcheng to meet your father in person, he must be able to give us some capable people. This is also the fastest way."

Zimo slowly emerged from the shadows, still wearing a light-colored long gown, and it was hard to tell whether it was white or light-colored under the flickering candle shadow.His waist is straight, his steps are slow and steady, and his posture is like an immortal.

Qin Zhongzhi glanced at Zimo, then at Yaoyu, and just opened his mouth, then closed it again.

"Speak up if you have something to say!" Yao Yu was throwing a piece of bamboo onto Qin Zhongzhi's forehead.

Qin Zhongzhi said "Oops", rubbed his forehead, and said with a wry smile, "A few days ago, General Tan sent someone to see him, but Xian Ji just treated that person well and never went to meet him. Since Xian Ji knew that she needed someone, Why were you turned away in the first place?"

Yao Yu snorted awkwardly, "I helped him design the days of the week, but I was afraid that my two elder brothers would have accidents. I never said I forgave him. My mother was forced to become a monk, but he married someone else. My mother If I don't enter Tan's house, I won't call him father for a day."

Qin Zhongzhi didn't dare to answer these words, but Zimo stepped forward lightly, stroking Yao Yu's head comfortingly, "Okay, I'll go in person."

Qin Zhongzhi saw that Zimo was comforting, but the words were brief and negligible.He hurriedly added, "General Tan must know that Immortal Fairy still misses him when he sees Brother Zimo."

Yao Yu muttered mischievously, "Who misses him! Why should I miss him after locking me up for so long!"

After sulking for a while, Yao Yu said again, "From now on, when there is no one around, call me a girl as before."

Qin Zhongzhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, girl!"

There is a bright light in his heart, don't think it's just that the title has changed, which means that Yao Yu finally regards himself as a confidant.

It seems that Yao Yu is not ignorant of the resistance he encountered when confiscating the properties of the Yang family and the right minister.Now that he has passed the assessment that Yao Yu gave him, he will use him without doubt in the future.

Yao Yu saw Qin Zhongzhi's joy and knew that he didn't need to say anything more.

So she changed the subject, "Qin Zhongzhi, let me ask you, have you heard of the name Cui Hao?"

Qin Zhongzhi didn't know how the topic of inviting rain jumped to this point, but he still answered seriously, "I've heard of it. I also had a few encounters with Master Cui."

"Oh?" Yao Yuliu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I heard that Cui Hao is a great talent. How do you compare with him?"

Qin Zhongzhi was embarrassed by this question, how should he answer it?To say that I am strong is a bit like a princess selling melons, selling melons and boasting.Speaking of Cui Haoqiang... his self-esteem made him unable to say such words against his will.

He had no choice but to reply in an old-fashioned way, "Although Mr. and Mrs. Cui are civil servants, they are equals. It's hard to say which one is better."

Yao Yu looked at Qin Zhongzhi jokingly, with an expression that I see how much you can boast.But she did not deny Qin Zhongzhi's statement.

"I feel that I have benefited a lot from your help recently."

Qin Zhongzhi was overjoyed, and just wanted to thank Yaoyu for his praise, when he heard Yaoyu continue, "Surely His Majesty the newly enthroned Emperor Wei will feel the same way as I do...Emperor Wei is dead, and another one can be established. But this Cui There is only one Hao. If you want to eliminate a powerful enemy, you must first cut off its wings, so that it can disintegrate itself."

Qin Zhongzhi shuddered when he heard this, "The girl wants to get rid of Cui Hao?!"

——Genuine Welfare Side Story——

In the past few days, everyone in the Tan Mansion is trembling.Not for anything else, just because Tan Daoji punished the two sons he valued the most in the past.

All the servants in the Tan Mansion knew that the madam and the general had long since broken up.Now the general has punished his wife's two legitimate sons because of some trivial matters.Not to mention punishing them to move to a very remote courtyard in the mansion, they even sent away the servants around them.Now there are only two serving servants around each young man.Everyone in the General's Mansion said that this is about to change...

"Yu'er, look quickly, this is the little clay puppet that Second Brother got today, for you to play with."

After Tan Can moved to the courtyard above the underground palace, the first thing he did was to visit the underground palace to see Zhaoyu.

Xiao Yaoyu, who was just over six years old, didn't even look at the clay puppet, but only stared at her big brother and asked, "He punished you?"

"Yu'er, don't be rude, call him Daddy." Tan Zhi couldn't help correcting his sister.After he finished speaking, he regretted it himself. It must have become a habit to discipline Tan Can.

Tan Can leaned over and forced the clay doll into Yao Yu's hand, "I think it's pretty good. Come to see you if you want, don't worry about falling in anyone's eyes."

(See the writer for the second half)

　Tan Zhi just wanted to defend his father.Uncle Tian hurriedly came down from the top and said, "You two little masters, I have thought about letting you move here. You can't just come down to the underground palace so casually. Although there are not many people coming to this yard, it is not as dense as an iron barrel." It’s airtight. Follow the old slave up, the teacher who teaches will be here in a while.”

　　Tan Can didn't want to leave, and looked at Tan Zhi for help.Tan Zhi looked at Zhao Yu, then at Uncle Tian, ​​finally sighed, and pulled Tan Can out.Uncle Tian followed suit.

　　I don't know if Uncle Tian was careless.After they went out for a while, the muffled sound of the gate of the underground palace being closed came from above.

　　Zimo looked at Yao Yu, who was looking down at the little clay puppet in her hand.Zimo felt that if he could hear the last footsteps leaving, Yao Yu must have heard it too.

　　"Yu'er, the general..."

　　"If he has no regrets in his heart, why didn't he dare to come down." Sure enough, Zhao Yu also heard Tan Daoji's last footsteps leaving.

　　Zimo couldn't tell either.For more than three years, the general often came to the underground palace, but never came down.Perhaps the general knows that he will soften his heart, right?So Madam is not allowed to come to invite Yu, because the general knows that Madam will feel more distressed when she sees it.

　　But Zimo couldn't say these words.Zimo felt that Yu'er no longer needed to be considerate of his parents' feelings.

　　A child who may be locked in the underground palace for the rest of her life, it would be harsh to ask her to be sensible.
