The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 35
The banquet begins, the sound of silk and bamboo sounds, and the meal is served.

Apart from King Ning and the disciples of Baishanmen including Bai Zixian, there was only one outsider, Qin Wan, who had nothing to do with the banquet.

Qin Wan felt that it was really inappropriate for her to be wearing a beautiful but cumbersome red maple embroidered palace dress and listening to a group of people in front of Baishanmen talking about metaphysics such as Taoism and Heaven Realm, as well as interesting stories about their fellowmen back then.

So she only focused on the food in front of her eyes instead of pretending to be superficial, forcing herself to join in the conversation of this group of people pretending to understand.She spent most of her energy shopping, and now she wants to sleep, and even her eyelids are starting to fight.

Contrary to her drowsiness, Lin Rou, who was sitting diagonally opposite, was full of energy, chatting enthusiastically with Ning Yi and the other disciples of Baishan Sect.She is eloquent, exceptionally intelligent, and has a deep knowledge of martial arts. She can intervene in everything Ning Yi and Bai Zixian say, and she can also comment on it very well.

Qin Wan looked at her and thought, what a good girl, she tried her best to show herself in front of Ning Yi, if she knew that Ning Yi said she didn't like her, she would be so sad.

But after thinking about it, if Ning Yi really didn't like her, how could he forge a sword for her.

Even if Ning Yi really doesn't have any affection for her, but from Lin Rou's point of view, if she doesn't work hard, she will have no chance at all.

After all, a man's decision to marry a woman is not entirely based on whether he likes it or not.There are still many sisters in this world, relying on tireless study and dedication, and finally married the man they like.As for happiness after marriage, the benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom.

If marrying oneself is a science, and marrying well is a kind of ability. Qin Wan has already realized that she and Lin Rou are not in the same rank at all.It's a pity that Ning Yi didn't arouse her desire to work hard. If the target is Mr. Luling Lu, she might be a little more motivated.

Just when Qin Wan was wandering in the sky thinking about all these things, Lin Rou's voice came towards her.

"Sister, what's your opinion on the world's martial arts?" Lin Rou said, and suddenly changed the topic to Qin Wan.

At this moment, Qin Wan was yawning, and suddenly everyone in the audience was staring at her. She suddenly closed her mouth and asked, "Are you asking me?"

Lin Rou nodded with a smile: "I heard that sister, you are the adopted daughter of General Qin Buping. General Qin Buping was called a massacre general before his death. Do you have any insight?"

"Who told you that the daughter of the general's family must have insights into martial arts?" Qin Wan instinctively snapped back.

She was too sleepy and didn't want to talk to Lin Rou.

"That's right. My sister is from a Nanliang family. Compared with martial arts, she should be better at poetry, calligraphy and painting. It's not like us Jianghu girls who always fight and kill." Lin Rou ignored Qin Wan's attitude, continued.

"No, no, I'm not good at those either." Qin Wan told the truth, tired of coping.

Lin Rou made an inch and said: "My sister must have something special to become the concubine of Nanliang. How could she know nothing. I came from Rong Kingdom, and I am quite new to Nanliang culture. I want to discuss something with my sister. .”

Qin Wan was completely annoyed by her questions, and felt that if he didn't find something to calm Lin Rou down, she would really be annoyed to death.

After much deliberation, Qin Wan finally remembered what she was good at.

"Compared to poetry and songs, what I pay attention to recently is..." Qin Wan paused and said, "If Pei people move from Yingyang City to Pei County, then they must take their finances with them. It's fine for ordinary people, but If you have a lot of money in your family, it would be very difficult for you to carry so much money with you and bring it from Yingyang City to Peijun. So I was wondering if there is a good way to solve this problem."

After saying this, Qin Wan gave Ning Yi a look.

Ning Yi had a look of surprise on his face, and Qin Wan was very satisfied.

Qin Wan looked at Lin Rou: "I heard that Ms. Lin is very talented, and that the Baishan Sect has made a name for herself in the world. I don't know if Ms. Lin or all the disciples of the Baishan Sect have any tricks to solve the problem?"

As soon as this remark came out, the banquet hall, which was still noisy and lively just now, fell silent in an instant.

Ning Yi had just noticed that Qin Wan was distracted, but who would have thought that she was actually thinking about such a question.

Lin Rou frowned, she never expected that Qin Wan would suddenly ask her to answer such a question.

At this time, Qin Wan was looking like he was watching the show.

Seeing Qin Wan's expression at this moment, Lin Rou knew immediately with her intelligence that if her answer was too superficial or if there were omissions, Qin Wan would definitely be caught and questioned.But this question is really beyond the outline, all she can think of is to hire more guards, or to improve her own martial arts.But there are loopholes in these two points, and it is definitely not the answer that Qin Wan and His Highness King Ning want to hear.

"This..." Lin Rou turned to look at Bai Zixian, only to find that Bai Zixian was also biting his lips and thinking.

Not only Bai Zixian, but everyone present began to think.

But before anyone could answer, Qin Wan suddenly said, "Think about the last question first. I've been thinking about another question recently."

Lin Rou: "..."

Qin Wan asked: "When the Pei people arrived in Pei County, they definitely wanted to build houses, but they didn't have enough money to build houses for a while. What kind of assistance plan should the court formulate so that they can live without money?" Live in a house, and the court not only does not lose money, but can make a profit?"

Before Lin Rou could answer, one of the disciples of Baishanmen said firstly: "How is this possible? If the imperial court helps the people build houses, it will definitely need a large amount of funds. It is impossible not to lose money. How can it be possible to make a profit?"

Qin Wan asked: "If the imperial court lends money to the people and requires the people to repay the loan and the interest generated by the loan on a monthly basis, the repayment period is determined according to the person's personal ability and income level, and the maximum can be 30 years. , In this way, not only can the common people pay the house payment in installments and move in early, but the court can also collect interest, so wouldn’t it be a win-win situation for two birds with one stone?”

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.Only the clerk's pen was rustling to record what Qin Wan had just said.

Ning Yi and Bai Zixian glanced at each other, their expressions became serious.

Lin Rou not only couldn't think of the answer to Qin Wan's question, but she couldn't even understand the question. She opened her mouth but said nothing.

Qin Wan knew that they couldn't figure it out, and she also knew that she couldn't wait for an answer, and then asked a new question: "Then if merchants don't need gold and silver to buy real estate to live in, but they want more funds to expand production, Can the imperial court borrow money from merchants and charge interest on them? Or can the merchants have a large amount of surplus funds that they can lend back to the imperial court and receive interest?"

As a disciple of the Jianghu sect, the Baishan sect disciples have never been exposed to such problems since they were born.

Qin Wan smiled slightly, and raised her chin to look at Lin Rou: "Miss Lin, although I don't know how to wield swords and guns, let alone martial arts classics, I don't have any inner strength, and I don't even know how to write poems, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Everything doesn't work. But what I care about is how to benefit the common people, make the court earn money, make the country rich, and let the people live forever. Ms. Lin only wants to assist His Royal Highness Ning Wang, and constantly improve her martial arts and cultural accomplishment. It's very rare. I just don't know the questions I raised, Miss Lin, have you seriously thought about His Royal Highness King Ning who will unify Kyushu in the future?"

Everyone: "..."

Seeing Lin Rou's astonished expression, Qin Wan snorted coldly in her heart: "Little girl, you have to let me reduce the dimensionality and attack you to know how powerful I am."
