Chapter 13721372: It’s the captain, and it’s also Du Wei (Part 2) [Please give me your monthly ticket]
"Hahaha - Wangchao was really beaten by Shaoxuan?"
There are few stars in the moon, and the full moon hangs high.
Shen Tang, who was in the inner palace of the palace, laughed and gloated.
"The Queen of Xiahou is so cunning and narrow-minded, looking down on others to bring bad luck?"
After all, that sharp-tongued young man is also her courtier.
"I guess when you were making things difficult for Wang Chao, he definitely told you things like 'my lord is in the palace' and 'every wrongdoer has his own debtor'?" Shen Tang smiled slightly and said confidently, " How can you say that I am cunning and narrow-minded? This is obviously just looking at the trend. Er's misfortune came from his mouth, and he suffered a lot of physical pain. This time, he can stay in peace and recuperate. Shao Xuan's love affair can only be regarded as the love between young lovers. , Luo Hou can still compete with the descendants? ”
Luo San was speechless for a long time after hearing this.
"The queen has plotted against the three of us."
Gu Chi's misfortune came out of his mouth, which gave Luo San an excuse to vent her anger, and she was able to divert the misfortune to the east. By leading Gu Chi to find Bai Su, Gu Chi suffered a lot of physical pain, and at the same time, he also got He took a sick leave to rest and rest; Bai Su knew the elegant meaning of Xian Ge and took the initiative to deal with Gu Chi. Luo San watched the excitement from the side and had no reason to argue with Gu Chi for a while.
How could he still be so fussy with the younger generation at his age?
If this matter spreads, it will damage the reputation of Chehou.
Shen Tang shook his head: "If Luohou hadn't been open-minded and willing to lift it up high and put it down gently, no calculation would work."
This is Luo San, an emotionally stable old man. If it were someone else with an unruly and conceited temperament, let alone sneaking in to eavesdrop on what was going on, they would fly directly to the palace and start kicking in the door. Shen Tang thought he was telling the truth, but that was not the case in Luo San's ears: "I thought it was just that young man who was eloquent, but I never thought that the root cause was you."
Not to mention that these two monarchs and ministers can play together, they have the same chemistry, and their sweet words can really make people confused. Shen Tang praised himself so highly in just a few words, but if he pressed further, it would make him look petty. Having said that, Lady Xiahou did make it clear several times that she had no intention of rebelliousness, but it was him who thought too much over and over again...
From this point of view, Nvjun Xiahou and I should each fight fifty times, and no one can rely on the other. After some mental activity, Luo San's remaining resentment was completely dissipated. He did not forget the other purpose of his trip, and took out the escort items and threw them to Shen Tang: "Put it away, queen, and return it to Zhao intact. I have fulfilled my mission."
Now it was Shen Tang's turn to be surprised. She only knew that Luo San was emotionally stable, but she didn't know that he was so reasonable. The same thought as Gu Chi couldn't help but come to mind - Du Wei's power is so terrifying!
Shen Tang tentatively asked Luo San where the collapse was.
If you haven't settled down yet, it's better to stay in the palace first.
If Luo San rejects Shen Tang's proposal, it means that he still has a grudge against Shen Tang; if he agrees, it means that the matter has completely turned over. Luo San will truly accept the fact that Xia Houli is Shen Tang, the leader of Kang State, and his feelings for the two identities Can be transferred losslessly.
Luo San knew all about her temptation.
However, Chehou is reserved and his expression is implicit.
"I don't like to be owed a favor the most in my life. When repaying a debt, I only look at the IOU and not who holds the IOU." This sentence not only expressed the old man's inner dissatisfaction, but also appeased Shen Tang's worries.
Shen Tang: "..."
No matter from which angle you look at it, Luo San is a meritorious official. He traveled all the way to deliver messages and saved Miao Na and his party. As the leader of the country with clear rewards and punishments, Shen Tang naturally cannot be stingy, so he invited Luo San to the night market: "What does Marquis Luo like?" Tell me, I’ll pay.”
Luo San was not a materialistic person, but Shen Tang's stinginess really opened his eyes: "It's said that Lady Xiahou is stingy. It cost ten million yuan to repair the damaged city wall of Shanyong County, but if you want to say that you are grand, you invite me to Going to a place like this?”
What's so good about a crappy night market?
It only costs three melons and two dates to sweep them all away.
If the old ministry hadn't really received a lot of military luck and mixed it up a little bit, Luo San would have suspected that she was doing it on purpose.
Shen Tang opened his dead fish eyes and said expressionlessly: "Marquis Luo has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. If he wants money, a bunch of old friends from the army rush to give him warmth. How can he understand the suffering of people like me? My private life Treasury... For a long time, even rats were unwilling to patronize it. In Kang State, it was the highest honor for the king to pay from his own treasury. Most of the time, it was the ministers who paid."
Guang Wuhui and Yuan Liang were very close to him.
Luo San naturally didn't believe it.
How can there be such a poor king in this world?
That's not how it works if you sell it badly.
Shen Tang sighed quietly: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now. When you meet a man named Xun Hanzhang in the future, you will believe it."
Luo San had done some research before coming to Kang State and had a basic understanding of the civil and military officials of Kang State. He had a very good impression of Xun Zhen.
I heard that local officials in Kang State have five-year terms, one small exam every year, and one major exam every five years. The officials in the capital also have a similar system, and even the six ministers must comply with it. There were some twists and turns in the re-election of the others. Only the post of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was highly anticipated. You must know that the Ministry of Revenue has always been rich in oil and water. Xun Zhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, could be re-elected without any controversy. His personal ability and conduct were obvious to all.
But listen to what Lady Xiahou means...
Somewhat resentful?
Shen Tang sighed: "If you don't mention Hanzhang, it will make my heartache."
Luo San: "..."
Luo San also had a basic understanding of the situation in the nearby prefectures and counties. First, there were many warlords who established separate regimes, and then they were conquered by Kangguo's troops. In the past two hundred years, less than one tenth of the time they were able to survive. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are impoverished. The night market here can have What figure?
Unexpectedly, there were more people than expected.
There are also many types of products at the night market.
“Where did there come from so many people?”
"Invited from the mountain." Shen Tang was wearing a light round robe. Except for the inner lining, which was made of fine and skin-friendly cotton material, the rest was of the level of a small wealthy family. There was no silk and satin. Luo San walked in front of her. Everyone around her looked more like the head of a wealthy family than she did.
"On the mountain?"
"Some of them fled into the mountains to escape the war, and some of them have lived in the mountains for generations. In order to revitalize the southwest, people are indispensable. Young people are in short supply everywhere, not only here. It's too late to encourage women to have children now, so We can only think about other aspects. As long as we take the right medicine to solve their problems, we can immigrate people from the mountains.”
The reasons why they fled into the mountains were nothing more than war, corvee labor, and crimes committed by their ancestors. In addition, there was no land at home, and they could not live without firewood. Since the hills near the city were owned by others, they could only go to the ownerless mountains to cut down the wood. Go...
After coming and going, the population in the Hidden Mountains is also quite large.
"It took a lot of effort to get them down." The population was registered, fields were allocated, and residences were settled. Their future livelihoods had to be considered, and people had to be sent to educate them. After living in the mountains for a long time, the evil in human nature has been released and returned to the wild. Shen Tang brushed off all these hardships, "Fortunately, everything is developing in a good direction."
Luo San had been the captain of Shanyong County for so many years, and he only cared about training and running the army. He did not pay attention to local management. These were the tasks of the county governor, but it did not mean that he knew nothing.
Just by listening to a few words, you can imagine the workload behind it.
When people are given fields, where do they come from?
The land that can be cultivated has long been divided up by the local wealthy gentry. It is not enough to spit it out from these people. The remaining vacancies must be sent to continue to open up wasteland. After the wasteland is opened up, they must be distributed fairly to ensure the livelihood of the common people and at the same time satisfy everyone.
Common people cannot live without firewood. Firewood comes from the mountains, and the mountains are also the private property of wealthy gentry. Mountain guards patrol the mountains with owners. Common people cutting wood without permission is committing the crime of theft, and they deserve to be beaten to death. They can only come from far away. The ownerless hills are used to cut firewood and log trees. Where are the roads on these hills? The firewood can only be chopped on people's backs and transported by legs. How to solve these troubles?
Luo San had these questions hanging in his mind.
Until the two of them sat down at a restaurant and had some midnight snacks.
While tasting country side dishes, we chatted.
When he heard that after Shen Tang registered in the register, people with different surnames were assigned to live in different areas, he was stunned for a long time: "Mr. Something I wouldn’t even dare to do.
Let’s not mention anything else——
Luo San moved the mat forward and approached Shen Tang to talk in detail: "Let's not mention anything else. Do you know that many poor people in the country open large stoves to save firewood? Do people with the same surname light a fire in one stove?"
If every household makes a fire for cooking, it consumes much more firewood than if several households make a fire for cooking together. How much firewood and charcoal can be saved in a year? Although people with the same surname fight among themselves and exploit each other, they also help each other. If the same people are soft-hearted and give more food to each other, maybe one more child in the family will live...
When Lady Xiahou did this, those poor people would have no way to survive, and it would be difficult for them to even use the firewood from the same clan and village to cook a meal.
When he came, he noticed that the trees in this area were severely cut down.
The cost for ordinary people to cut firewood would be higher. Even if the Xiahou Queen opened the owned hills to the common people to cut down, it would be poison to quench their thirst. The growth rate of the forest trees could not keep up with the consumption rate of the common people.
Shen Tang said: "Of course I know."
She would take Baiguan out wherever she wanted, no matter what.
Don't live high up in a temple but don't know the suffering of the people.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"Then you——"
Shen Tang said with emotion: "Wen Qi and martial Qi can change life."
"Huh?"
Shen Tang said: "Didn't Marquis Luo see it before, using the high efficiency of brave warriors to avoid imposing corvee labor on the people?"
Given the size of the city walls of Suginaga County, if all of them were placed on the common people, it would take up so many young and strong laborers, delay local livelihoods for many years, and kill many people from exhaustion! As long as warriors and scribes no longer stand aloof, everything can be solved.
Luo San stared: "I thought it was just a temporary measure."
"But I don't intend to treat it as a temporary solution, this is a long-term solution." Even when faced with Luo San, the Chehou, Shen Tang did not intend to avoid it, "God randomly gives powers to all living beings, and some people can be literary scholars. Someone can become a brave warrior, including other Mohist doctors... but they are only one in a hundred living beings, and the remaining ninety-nine are worthy of disappearing into the dust? "
Luo San looked at Shen Tang calmly.
Shen Tang spit out a sentence: "This is unfair. It is only fair that everyone enjoys the power given by God."
Luo San didn't feel offended, he was just curious about how she survived until now.
He thought so and asked.
Shen Tang smiled sarcastically and said, "Don't Marquis Luo see it?"
Gu Chi is a typical example.
Luo San: "..."
Thinking of the young man whom he had scolded as a sycophant, he couldn't help but feel speechless. Let's say that this pair of monarch and minister is unreliable. They have a little understanding of each other, but if they say that the monarch and minister are reliable, one said "The Lord is in the palace" and the other said "Wang Chao was really beaten by Shaoxuan".
At first glance, these two seem to have a grudge.
He said: "They are all people of temperament."
Shen Tang put his hands on his hands and smiled: "He is even smarter."
The offspring of martial warriors/literary scholars may not be able to inherit the genetic lottery of their parents, but ordinary people also have the opportunity to give birth to dragons and phoenix talents with the qualifications of literary scholars/military warriors. A generation later, the offense and defense changed, and the roots of the war were laid.
In this case, it is better to be fair and everyone enjoys the power given by God. Then, no matter whether the next generation is outstanding or mediocre, there is no need to reignite the war because of this contradiction.
Luo San looked deeply at Shen Tang, his eyes filled with indescribable fascination and appreciation, fiery and frank. He reminded Shen Tang: "With your status and strength today, do you still have no regrets about your choice?"
< br>
Shen Tang said: "Time will give Luo Hou the answer."
Luo San drank the rice wine in one gulp.
This kind of folk-brewed wine has no alcoholic taste, and the taste is slightly sour and light. Luo San feels happy, and even the taste of inferior wine on the tip of his tongue is better than the fine wine and jade dew that can only be found in the palace in the sky: "Shen Nujun is a thousand years old, Luo San I respect you.”
Shen Tang also drank it happily: "Marquis Luo is a thousand years old."
It's refreshing when you drink it, but a little awkward when you pay the bill.
No matter how low-quality wine is, it is made from food, and the price is not much lower. Shen Tang lowered his head and opened the money bag, his eyes almost touching the opening of the money bag. No matter how many times he counted, he couldn't find enough to pay. She scratched her forehead slightly in embarrassment. She couldn't eat the King's meal in front of Luo San, so she had to wave to the secret guards and signal for payment: "paid, go back to the household department for verification."
Luo San: "..."
Do I need to contact the Ministry of Accounts for this expenditure?
Shen Tang grabbed his wrist and muttered: "Hey, there is no good food or wine here. If Marquis Luo goes to the palace, there will be fine wine."
Wine is free.
Luo San was skeptical about this: "Don't lie to me."
Shen Tang really didn't lie to Luo San.
The two dug out a pile of fine wine from the palace cellar.
After patting open the red cloth wine seal, Luo San was intoxicated by the tangy aroma of wine: "Is this the wine? My younger generations are filial, but there are too few of them... Why do you have so many?"
Shen Tang said: "Unique secret recipe."
Luo San asked again: "How old is it?"
Shen Tang opened his mouth and said: "Eighteen years."
Regardless of whether it's from Shang and Zhou dynasties or last week, it's all from eighteen years ago. Not to mention the authentic taste of this batch of wine, even if it was mixed with water, Luo San couldn't taste it. She has more experience selling fake wine than being a lord: "How about giving it a try, Lord Luo?"
Luo San still had to be reserved.
"In this case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
He is not a very good drinker, but no warrior can refuse this wine.

The keyboard has been packed away, but it has been left for too long to accumulate dust, and the keycaps are a little dirty. Take it off and wash it... After it is done, I will go back to Big Eyes. Remember to pay attention to it.
