Chapter 275 Those who are idle and busy

Chapter 275: Those idle and busy...

At that time, Duke Ping of Jin felt very comfortable after hearing Zhao Wu's words - he finally found a reason to despise Dafeng Bow, and finally found a reason to get rid of the bow that embarrassed him. Therefore, Duke Ping of Jin immediately used Zhao's new bow to replace the original Dafeng Bow wearing position.

After that, although the Dafeng bow was abandoned, the bow was still placed in the palace. Every time he passed by, Duke Ping of Jin felt very uncomfortable. Now, Zhao Wu's great victory gave him an excuse to throw the Dafeng bow (Dafeng bow) into the Taimiao. When he put the Dafeng bow in front of the spiritual throne of the ancestors and sects, Duke Ping of Jin felt unspeakable happiness. He carefully slapped the Dafeng bow and tried to make the Dafeng bow position as beautiful as possible...

You can say that the Great Feng Bow itself is a work of art, and after being carefully placed by Duke Ping of Jin, it seems even more noble.

How can it be disrespectful?!

The Great Wind Bow is placed in the middle of the hall and is placed on a deer-angle-shaped weapon stand. This weapon stand is placed on the table. The entire table is made of red sandalwood brought back by Zhao Wu from the south. It is a little red. Then it is made of the lacquer plates in the Spring and Autumn Period, and a few layers of paint are densely painted. The entire table looks glorious and attractive.

On the table, next to the weapon stand, there is a bunch of Zhao Wu's spoils. Because there are too many spoils, each one is a symbol, such as a bunch of oxtails and ponytails, which symbolizes the countless cattle and horses seized by Zhao Wu; a few ivory sculptures with a large finger symbolizes the countless ivory pieces brought back from the south.

In addition, there were originally a bunch of gems and jades brought back by Zhao Wu from the south on the table, but Duke Ping of Jin was not willing to throw the gems and jades in the Taimiao. He only used a jade jade bi to replace the countless seizures. As for the gems... Duke Ping of Jin attracted a look at Fenghua House leisurely, and said with emotion: "It's very tiring to follow the Marshal. When the Marshal invented burnt bricks and started to build houses with bricks, we still lived in a civil-built house. When we learned that when the Marshal began to build houses with burnt bricks, the Marshal began to build houses with stones.

The stone house built by the marshal was indeed good. Wuwei Fort built an indestructible fortress with huge stones and cement, so when the Qin army invaded for the second time, it was necessary to bypass Wuwei Fort. Since then, my ministers have started to build the courtyard wall with stones, and I also tried to build the Qi Palace with stones. Originally, I was very satisfied with those extremely strong stone houses and often lamented that life is still alive, but so... Unexpectedly, the marshal has started to build walls with vines.

Oh, this Fenghua House is indeed advanced, but facing this advanced, I am helpless - I always follow the marshal and learn the fashion that the marshal likes, which is really helpless."

Everyone laughed, Zhao Cheng was honest and said nothing, Zhao Wu was active, he stood up and said loudly: "In the past, Guan Zhong lived a luxurious life, and people might blame him for his excessive desires, but Guan Zhong replied: I just made a cover for the king.

My father is the same now. The king built the Qi Palace and used a lot of taxes to make the people work free of charge. At this time, my father hired people to build a small courtyard for enjoyment, which was just to cover up the luxury of the king.

My father once said that luxury is not sin. As long as everything is purchased by oneself, it is a contribution to the country. Because in purchasing goods, he paid the municipal tax to the king, so spending money and enjoyment is not sin, but a merit to the country."

Duke Ping of Jin smiled awkwardly: "Xiaowu is mocking me. He mocked me for using the people's power to build a luxurious palace for himself for free. Since Xiaowu said that, how can I not correct it - don't worry, the gold I received will be handed over to your father in the future, and the gold coins that your father casts and throws them into the market to pay for the people's labor."

Duke Ping of Jin said this because he had just read a tax exemption document. In the document, he not only reduced taxes from various countries, but also reduced all taxes from the people that year. In this way, the labor force for building the Qi Palace next year must be paid. Fortunately, the value of gold in this era is unimaginable. The salary of migrant workers that Duke Ping of Jin finally received was only one thousandth of his harvest, or even one thousandth of what he gained.

As the sound of water subsided, several maids came over quietly and saluted Zhao Cheng. After receiving the hint, Zhao Cheng dodged the road and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please go here."
