Is the prince infertile?The lady was so happy!

Chapter 911 I really don't want to be a fool

Gu Qizhen has long been used to being scolded by her. Instead of being annoyed, he asked humbly: "Sister, why not? Does the court stipulate that new grain must be used to pay taxes?"

"Hey, you still know new food and old food."

"Sister, I'm just stupid, not stupid."

"Then let me tell you, because it is impossible for the vast majority of people to have surplus food in their homes."

"How did this happen?" Gu Qizhen was surprised, "Don't they store food at home? The book says..."

"You are a nerd, you are studying hard." Ying Ning said, "The imperial court has heavy taxes and corvees. The food that the common people grow all year round, in addition to paying taxes, the rest is just enough not to starve to death. Not to mention the surplus food, the rice they grow themselves I can’t eat a few bites of white noodles all year round.”

"Is the court book tax so heavy?"

"Because we need to support the royal family, the princes and nobles, and the corrupt officials in the world. Where does the money come from? If you think about sitting on the dragon chair, all the money, food and silk will fall from the world? It was picked out of the mouths of the people!"

Gu Qizhen looked completely shocked.

Yingning couldn't help being suspicious: "Your teacher didn't teach you this?"

"The teacher taught me to read and write. Never said that."

Ying Ning thought for a while and said, "That's right, your teacher is also a nerd."

Although Lu Qinghan came from a poor family, but his family has dozens of acres of land, he can afford to read books, hire a carriage, and use servants. He is still completely different from the real poor.

"Let's find you another teacher, be more pragmatic."

"If someone tells me these things every day, I'm still willing to learn." Gu Qizhen said, "I just don't like reading those things."

"The road has to be walked, and the book has to be read. Don't give up eating because of choking." Yingning said, "Stop messing around in the future. If you continue like this, you will be finished. Do you want to become the faint king recorded in the history books? Thousands of years later , When people mention the emperors in the history of Xuanxuan, other people’s evaluations are hard work and hard work, but you, Emperor Kaiyuan, are incompetent and incompetent, a chicken emperor who indulges in pleasure?”

Chicken Emperor, this name is too ugly.

Gu Qizhen smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, I just think cockfighting is fun, I really don't want to be a fool."

"I know."

Yingning patted him on the shoulder, "Continue to study, I should go."

"Sister, sit down later, I have something good for you."

Gu Qizhen went to get a box, opened it, and inside were ten small glass bottles of various colors neatly lined up, exquisitely crafted and exuding a burst of fragrance.

"What is this?" Yingning picked up one and asked.

"Smell and see."

Ying Ning put the bottle under her nose, the fragrance was strong.

Gu Qizhen smiled as if offering a treasure: "This is a tribute from Siam. What is it called, perfume. I reckon it is similar to our spices. Don't you like incense? I specially reserved this for you .”

Ying Ning smiled and said, "How do you know that I like incense?"

"A few months ago, I smelled a very fragrant incense on my sister, but it disappeared during this time. Is the incense used up? Just use this."

Ying Ning laughed.

She already knew that the scent was the scent of ambergris on the contraceptive pills she took, and if she stopped taking it now, the scent would naturally disappear.

"Although the scent is weird, this bottle is very delicate, and it looks great on the shelf." Ying Ning laughed.
