Chapter 266 The antidote is a little gentle today
Even though Meng Qingqian already belongs to the best among people and has the highest IQ, she still cannot escape the limitations of the times.
He Yunxiao had no choice but to patiently explain to the antidote girl.
"Miss Li, suppose that the price of oil, salt and grain in Qi State doubles on the spot. What will Qi State do?"
These are not prosperous times, and the people of Qi are not very wealthy. If the prices of these necessities are doubled, most families will not be able to afford it.
Meng Qingqian sighed: "At that time, people will die of hunger all over the land, and the people will not be able to survive."
He Yunxiao nodded and said: "That's right. Assuming that Qi is defeated, the imperial court will print a large number of gold and silver certificates and throw them to Yan as compensation. At the same time, it will tighten border trade, inspect smuggling, and prevent Qi's goods from flowing to Yan. The imperial court will do this Bian needed to continue printing gold and silver certificates, and took the things printed on white paper to Yan State to buy various supplies.
This time and again, in the Yan State at that time, there was more money and less goods. The savings in the hands of the people did not increase, but the prices of various items would increase with more money and the tide would rise. In the end, the people of Yan State will not be able to afford food, so they will spontaneously rebel, while we, Qi State, will only have to sit back and watch the internal fighting in Yan, wasting national power. "
Meng Qingqian frowned in thought. She thought back and forth, and this plan seemed feasible. Not only is it feasible, it is also the most perfect way to attack the heart without using weapons.
What made her even more unbelievable was that He Yunxiao could talk so endlessly, put himself in Qi's shoes, and think so carefully. He must not have just thought about it casually, but the answer he could only come up with after thinking for a long time.
Meng Qingqian looked up at He Yunxiao and saw the frivolous look on his face with a smile. She couldn't help but think of what he said himself, "Why do I always have tears in my eyes? It's because of my deep love for this land."
Meng Qingqian believed that these words were definitely not something that could only be said by a truly ruthless person.
[Li Qingmeng’s favorability level changed from 35 to 50]
Although He Yunxiao is a dandy, a scoundrel, and a womanizer...
The more Meng Qingqian thought about it, the less confident she became. Although He Yunxiao loves Qi State well, he has real problems. Forget it, just think of him as a loyal minister full of shortcomings.
Amid the fluctuations in Li Qingmeng's favorability, He Yunxiao seemed to have discovered a pattern.
It seems that as long as he is involved in Qi State, he can easily mobilize the favorability of the antidote. If you say bad things about Qi, your favorability will immediately drop; if you say good things about Qi, your favorability will immediately go back up.
Although this girl, Antidote, is full of bad intentions, there is nothing she can say about being Meng Qingqian's confidant and working for the State of Qi. It can be said that they have a united heart, work hard, and do their best.
The development potential of gold and silver certificates, and the role of helping Qi to replace silver bills and unify the currency in the future, have all been told to Li Qingmeng today. As for whether she will tell herself the policy dividends and allow Daqi Bank to develop rapidly, it all depends on her and What Meng Qingqian meant.
"Miss Li, how are you thinking about it?"
Meng Qingqian wanted to eat candied fruits as soon as she thought about it. If she didn't eat, she would have a headache, but there was none here. She could only frown and keep rubbing her temples.
"Master He, Qingmeng has a headache today, how about we talk about it tomorrow?"
He Yunxiao smiled and said, "Is the girl craving for sweets?"
"Do you have it, Master?"
He Yunxiao said embarrassedly: "I didn't, but, ahem, just now, ahem, when the girl was washing her hands, I happened to see a lot of delicious things growing in the yard."
Meng Qingqian's defense after being knocked down by He Yunxiao was still in tatters now. If she didn't have the bell to help stabilize her mind, when she faced He Yunxiao again, once she thought of the "pink peony handkerchief" He Yunxiao gave her, she would Can't even finish the sentence.
Hearing He Yunxiao mention "cleaning hands" again, Meng Qingqian blushed instantly, unconsciously touched the bell on her chest with her delicate hands, and said, "Let's go and have a look."
What He Yunxiao calls "delicious" is actually a red flower. It is called "A String of Red" in modern times, but He Yunxiao doesn't know what it is called in Qi.
When He Yunxiao was a child, his family was poor and had no snacks or toys. Every year in late summer and early autumn, the bunches of red growing in the fields are a rare delicacy.
The two came to a bunch of red flowers planted in the garden of Jinxianyuan. He Yunxiao first showed Li Qingmeng how to eat this flower.
Grab the petals and pull off the entire red flower, then put the white root of the flower into your mouth and suck on it. I don’t know if what I sucked into my mouth was nectar or something else, but I could taste a hint of refreshing and thirst-quenching sweet water.
Meng Qingqian imitated He Yunxiao, carefully picked a flower, and then put the flower in her mouth...
Opened the door to a new world.
From then on, she no longer needed He Yunxiao's teachings. The flowers rose and fell, and she made a lot of red flowers.
He Yunxiao watched beside him dumbfounded.
Or how do you say the antidote thief is "bad"? If Nanzhu were here, she would never mess with beautiful flowers like this. Zi Rui, Yin Yun, and Wuyou don't know how to do it, Chu Chu is too lazy to move, Xiao Xiao has the possibility but won't bother so much. In terms of tossing, the "bad seed" of antidote has to be the most tossing.
He Yunxiao saw that Yao was playing with the flowers as if she were having fun in front of him, so he teased her and said, "Girl is 'stealing fruit' today and won't avoid people anymore."
Valley mystery
Meng Qingqian held the flower in her mouth and instantly realized what He Yunxiao was talking about.
He was talking about the "accidental encounter" under the fruit tree at Lujiao Academy.
Meng Qingqian, whose defense had been broken, was unable to fight back against He Yunxiao's teasing. The shy look of Princess Xiaoyue, which ordinary people have never seen before in their lifetime, has appeared in front of He Yunxiao countless times.
It's a pity that He Yunxiao can only see "Li Qingmeng" but not "Meng Qingqian".
A charming blush appeared on Meng Qingqian's face, and the embarrassment at the beginning and the embarrassment now appeared together, repeatedly rubbing her pitiful self-esteem.
Meng Qingqian held the flower in her mouth, turned her head away, and said vaguely: "Qingmeng didn't steal other people's fruits this time."
He Yunxiao stared at Li Qingmeng and found that she really had the appearance of a heroine. At least wearing women's clothes and putting on some makeup, she would not necessarily be worse than other heroines. It's just that she doesn't know what's wrong with her, not only does she wear men's clothes every day.
If the antidote at this time can wear women's clothes, and then shyly lower her head and hold the flower, it would be quite cute.
However, once you think of her various means, the cute style of painting suddenly becomes scary.
It's already halfway through the afternoon, and the matter of Daqi Bank cannot be discussed. He Yunxiao has to go to Chuchu's appointment and can't delay any longer. He said to Li Qingmeng: "Miss Li, let's talk about the bank another day. I have an appointment with a friend this afternoon, so I won't stay long."
Meng Qingqian patted her dress and said with a smile: "Mr. He, Qingmeng will send you."
He Yunxiao:?
Why do I feel that the antidote is a little gentle today? Because I told her about the potential of gold and silver certificates? Or is she planning something bad again?
"Miss Li, you are so good to me?"
Meng Qingqian wanted to thank He Yunxiao, who cared about Daqi, but she said calmly: "Sending guests out is a courtesy, not good."
He Yunxiao said tentatively: "Otherwise, you should scold me. I am not used to you being like this now."
I am so embarrassed to send you out, are you not used to it?
Meng Qingqian said gloomily, "He Yunxiao."
"Ah?"
"Get out of here."
"Okay. I'm leaving. No need to see me off. See you tomorrow."
Meng Qingqian smiled from the bottom of her heart as she watched He Yunxiao and her playfully say goodbye.
This guy is completely heartless. It's useless to be nice to him. You have to act cool and teach him a lesson.
Meng Qingqian walked back to the palace and said, "Someone come."
A maid immediately lowered her head and waited for orders.
"Have you washed the handkerchief?"
"My Lord, I have washed it. It's not dried yet."
"Bring it to me."
"Yes."
The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "My Lord, when I came here, I found that many flowers in the courtyard were destroyed. My Lord, you see..."
Meng Qingqian said calmly, "This was done by the son of the Marquis of Wuqing, the famous playboy He Yunxiao of Yinjingzhu."
"Then..."
"However, he is also my subordinate. Seeing that he works hard for me, I decided to let him go for the time being."
"Yes."
"Also, the destroyed flowers need to be replaced with new ones."
"I understand."
