Chapter 74: Forgiveness Chapter 62
In this way, seeing that Wang Duan suddenly proposed the "method of Tuntian", everyone was caught off guard. Everyone in the court was even more shocked, and they didn't understand it for a while, they always complained about illness and didn't go to court on weekdays, but whenever they went to the court, they watched from the wall, and pretended to be confused and played haha, how could Wang Duan, the right prime minister, mention the "law of tuntian" with a piece of paper?
Could it be that the Langya Wang clan wants to regroup on top of the court? Do they finally want to snatch back the cup of soup that was taken by the Chen Jun Xie clan?
In the face of everyone's suspicion and the questioning of King Zhou, Wang Duan looked like a chaotic appearance of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, but he stroked his beard lightly and sneered: "The old minister is rotten! Hearing this, the old minister was very ashamed, and he was afraid that he would not see him again on the Huangquan Road in the future, so he had today's advice. Speaking of this, Wang Duan was stunned, and said to the king of Zhou: "But I hope that Your Majesty will think about it carefully, and teach your old friends to feel at ease." ”
Wang Duan and King Zhou said that they were old friends and played emotional chess, but they were actually based on evidence. In the eighth year of Taikang, the king of Zhou personally conquered the northern frontier, at that time, the king of Zhou was trapped in Honggu Pass, extremely dangerous, when his life was in danger, it was the deputy general Zhang Yan who led three thousand soldiers to fight with their lives to save the king of Zhou from the encirclement. And that Zhang Yan is Wang Duan's sister-in-law. At the end of the eighth year of Taikang, Zhang Cheng's wife and Wang Duan's sister Wang Shu was even more painful because of the death of her husband, and she was martyred after 27 days of wake. At that time, it was also a matter of grief that was passed down by word of mouth.
In this way, after hearing these words, King Zhou's expression also changed, and he only felt that Wang Duan's recital this time was reasonable and unexpected. For a while, King Zhou also had mixed feelings, and he actually sighed: "Thinking back then, Lone was also young, and his blood was strong. But now, the teeth are failing!" Speaking of this, King Zhou let out a long sigh.
Around the temple, braziers were blazing.
The warmth of the room was like spring, and after half a moment, King Zhou raised his eyes again. He stared at Wang Duan carefully and carefully, staring at it, and finally, he took the music from the temple man's hand, just glanced at it, and threw the music on a few at will. Then, with a flick of his sleeves, he said loudly: "From today on, field officials have been placed all over Zhouzhou County, and the border soldiers have been ordered to cultivate frontier wasteland, and from then on they will farm and accumulate grain for national use. ”
For a while, in the full of congratulations, the officials looked at each other in private. Xie Xun was even more straightforward, and while everyone was unprepared, he glared at Wang Duan hatefully. At that time, Gongzi Musheng also glanced at Wang Duan deeply, but in those eyes, there was a look of respect opposite to Xie Xun.
As soon as Wang Duan's recital came out, Gongzi Musheng remembered Zhou Rushui's red eyes that had been crying for the past few days. His stupid sister, since returning to the palace, he didn't mention anything about his chance encounter with Wang Yuxi, obviously so sad that he couldn't stop crying, but he lied to him that he was burned by charcoal and hurt his eyes. also thinks that the golden silk charcoal in the palace is not good enough, and it is nonsense, it must be Xie Ji who took advantage of the comprador to fill his private pockets.
He went to see her, and she no longer wanted to talk about salt. On the contrary, I was thinking of a way to amuse him, but a sister-in-law told him some nondescript jokes, but she squinted her eyes, smiled, and said to him playfully: "My son has not only gained knowledge this time, but also seen a lot of interesting things! One day, Ah Ying and I passed by a vegetable garden, and we saw a young man scattering seeds in the field, and I heard him whisper while scattering seeds: 'What the father has said, the son will not say it again.'" As the father had said, the son said no more, 'The way the god chatters is funny, but it is very strange.' In this way, the son guarded the garden outside and did not go far, sure enough, after a while, he saw an old man walk in, he took the dustpan in the hand of the young man, and he was sprinkling seeds while kept chanting: "The way of husband and wife, the foundation of humanity" Originally, there was a custom when Hui Hui planted vegetables, the Tao was that the mouth must say some foul language, the more ugly the words were said and the more explicit, the better the vegetables would grow. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Rushui smiled like a stealing cat, Gongzi Musheng was a little helpless when he heard it, although he smiled softly, and his eyes were full of love when he looked at her, but the movements of his hands patted her forehead lightly, and he reprimanded her quite strictly: "I don't know the skin monkey, 'the way of husband and wife, the foundation of humanity' is also what your sister-in-law can say?"
Although the people of the time were dissolute, there were often absurdities in the affairs of men and women. For example, there are many people who observe each other. However, just as it is important to denigrate others, in words, it is rare to talk about the affairs of men and women. If you talk about it, it will appear vulgar and explicit, unattainable, and will be despised by others.
Gongzi Mu Sheng has always known that this little sister is not an ignorant and polite person. Sometimes what she thinks and thinks is not even in line with the education of the boudoir. In this way, he never suppressed it, but was a little arrogant and arrogant of her willfulness. But sometimes, he was still taken aback by her outrageous words and actions. For example, she spoke generously but explicitly at this time. For example, she even hit Wang Duan straightforwardly, and quickly waited for the opportunity to move, and found Langya Wang San one step ahead of him. These accidents exceeded his expectations, but they also gave him endless surprises. Thus, it also makes him not know whether to be happy or worried?
In recent years, due to the war with the barbarians, the livelihood of the people in the north has been greatly damaged. In the past few years alone, a large number of people have often migrated to the interior to avoid the flames of war that can be burned at any time. As a result, the population at the border has naturally declined sharply, and thus a large area of land in the north has become deserted and unmanaged. In the past, it was driven by the interests of the "salt introduction" that the inland merchants were willing to exchange grain for the border plugs, but the problem of no one cultivating and food shortages was still a problem where the border jams became increasingly strict.
The reason why Wang Duan's "Tuntian Law" is wonderful is that it can alleviate or even solve the dilemma of sparse population and barren land on the border on a large scale. At the same time, soldiers can also be trained during the period of no war, so that the border plug has its own agricultural accumulation valley.
But what is the best part?
Others may not be able to figure out this joint for a while, but Gongzi Mu Sheng has already figured it out! It turns out that after going around a big circle, Wang Duan unknowingly secretly crossed the Chen Cangdi and solved the hidden danger of salt affairs in the Zhou State once and for all!
Back then, the ancestors set up the "salt introduction system" because there was no grain at the border, so they had to exchange the marketing right of salt for inland grain, so as to balance the world and stabilize the Quartet. But now, the border pass has begun to implement the "tuntian order", and the sergeants can cultivate and defend as appropriate. The people reclaimed the wasteland, and those who had completed five years could also return the land to private use. In this way, it is not just as simple as the stability of the military and the people. Step by step, in the coming year, the border soldiers may be able to be self-sufficient, with food and clothing. And in a few years, when all the border passes can accumulate grain and build warehouses, what is the remaining role of "salt introduction"?
If everything is useless, it will be abandoned, even if it is the order of the ancestors, it will naturally be eliminated by the times. In this way, Wang Duan's plan was actually at a very juncture in the matter of salt affairs, deceived everyone, and took advantage of the situation!
This can be described as a boiled frog in warm water! It is actually a wonderful step, and it is a dark chess with nine curves and eighteen bends! For a while, Gongzi Musheng had mixed feelings.
This day also happens to be the fifth day of the new year.
These days, Zhou Rushui often thinks of the scene by the stone bridge that day, Wang Yuxi's clear and lofty eyes, and his wide-sleeved figure with his clothes flowing away. In her dreams, she would dream of him, and in the dream, she did not mention the salt again, she just took his hand, held his arm and wept. With tears in her eyes, she muttered over and over again aggrievedly: "If you are not the third king of Langya, I am not Zhou Tianjiao." Whenever she said this in a dream, her heart would burst into her mouth, and when she got up, she could no longer sleep.
From sunrise to dusk, the carriage of the Langya palace did not come. Looking at Zhou Rushui's depressed face, Shu Ying couldn't help but comfort her: "Nujun, you have thought too much, perhaps, San Lang happened to be not in Yedu this time?" She thought about it for a while, and then thought again: "Or, can the slave go to the Langya palace now? Isn't your Duanyan still there? The slave will find this excuse to go to the palace to investigate?"
"What are you going to slap in the face?" Zhou Rushui frowned and waved his hand. Her heart was like thousands of ants churning by, but they were all swallowed in her throat.
She was sulking, when she heard a faint sound of footsteps outside, and when she looked up, she saw that she had been looking for news in front of the court, and she hurriedly ran in with her skirt, and after she turned her head and closed the door of the palace, she hurriedly shouted to Zhou Rushui: "Lady! It's terrible! This is above the court, and the prime minister, who has always been indifferent, actually took charge of the border affairs! As soon as the court opened, the king started to play, and the road is the chaos of border affairs, and it should be rectified. Subsequently, the law of field reform was proposed, and the road was that the military and civilian tuntian should be implemented at the border pass. At that time, the hall was shocked, and before Xie Xiang had time to refute it, and without reconsideration, the king issued an edict and agreed to implement it!"
"Tuntian?" How can it be Tuntian? What is the relationship between Tuntian and salt?
For a while, Zhou Rushui was also stunned. Before she could figure out the way here, she listened to Ying Cui continue to mutter: "I really didn't expect that in the past, the king didn't like the king's words, but this time he was in a good mood! I don't know what was written in the letter, but when the king learned about it, he was displeased, after all, it was too much. ”
"Xia Jinduan?" Hearing this, Zhou Rushui smiled coldly. She stared at her with a smile, and snorted coldly in a rather mocking tone: "What does she mean? Isn't she just happy with Wang Yuxi? How many sisters-in-law are in love with him in the world? Is it so coercive to love love? Last time, she explicitly recruited a son-in-law, and this time she sent a message through an envoy from another country. is so blatant, is she not Wang Sanlang not married?Or do you think that Wang Sanlang can be forced to marry her with a long mouth?" Speaking of this, Zhou Rushui choked in his throat, and a sense of weakness surged up in his chest, and he couldn't speak anymore.
After all, in his last life, Wang Yuxi really married Xia Jinduan!
Could it be that this is how she got Wang Yuxi's blue eyes? Not only is the fierce girl afraid of pestering Lang, but also the son-in-law who is afraid of pestering people?
