Chapter 216: Sigh at the Old Man
(Sitting up in shock in the dying illness, Miao Ba is still typing, old and young masters, big and small girls, begging for some reward!)
The effect of reducing and reducing the tax burden to recuperate is slow, but now the urgent need of the Great Zhou Kingdom is that there are many hungry people, and these hungry people account for one percent of the population of the entire Great Zhou Kingdom! How to let these hungry people eat enough and prevent riots has become the primary consideration of Prince Xi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just when Prince Xi had a headache, Dazai Wei Jin came up with a clever plan, yes, this Wei Jin is Zhu Yunyu's confidant, but Wei Jin has long been thrown into Prince Xi, after Prince Xi entered Tianhong City, Wei Jin naturally became Prince Xi's Dazai, the name has not changed, but Wei Jin's power is much greater, it can be said that the officials in the state institutions rebuilt by Prince Xi are all selected by Wei Jin and are Wei Jin's protégés!
It can be seen that Wei Jin has truly become an existence under one person and above ten thousand.
And Wei Jin's clever plan can be described as extremely vicious, he asked Prince Xi to issue an edict to recruit the people to go to the Black Knife Gorge to dredge the river and clean up the reef.
This is indeed a clever plan, the Black Knife Gorge is fast and dangerous, and if you want to clean up the open reefs and reefs under the 100-mile river, you can only fill them with human lives! Where do these lives come from? Judging from the current situation of the Great Zhou Kingdom, it comes from this huge number of hungry people! These hungry people have no choice, they do not accept the requisition, that is, they will starve to death, accept the requisition, then there is still a glimmer of life, not to mention, few of these hungry people know the sinister nature of the Black Dao Gorge, so as soon as Prince Xi's edict was issued, the hungry people who were ordered to be requisitioned flocked to the Black Knife Gorge in a steady stream!
It's a pity that these hungry people know that they went to the Black Knife Gorge to die, and they sacrificed their lives to dredge the Black Knife Gorge, and in the end, it was Prince Xi who was praised by all generations, and in the history books, Prince Xi will be praised as a generation of Ming Jun, because it was he who ordered to dredge the Black Knife Gorge, making the Jinhong River safer and faster, and accelerating the trade of the Great Zhou Kingdom!
The so-called success of one will be ten thousand bones, and the success of a generation of emperors is not based on the bloody sacrifice of the Li people?
Zhao Yishan had drunk alone all night after Prince Xi issued the edict on requisition, and he thought that Prince Xi should treat the people well, but what he didn't expect was that Prince Xi also regarded the people as grass mustard! Looking back on the previous things, he felt that he was pathetic, lamentable, and ridiculous!
In fact, Zhao Yishan also understands that the person who can be the emperor is by no means soft-hearted, he just laments that he is too naïve.
What can comforting Zhao Yishan a little is that Prince Xi promulgated the Juntian Tax Law, which simply means that whoever has more land will have to pay more taxes, so as to restrain the powerful from annexing land without scruples, and give the poor people who have no power and power a way to live.
But Prince Xi promulgated this decree, how much it means to take care of the Weiyang faction, the Weiyang faction's sect industry only accounts for a small head, and the Weiyang faction has more income from the various shops opened by the sect, and the medicine field, so the impact of the Juntian tax law on the income of the Weiyang faction is very small, but the Seven Star faction is different, ninety percent of the income of the Seven Star faction comes from the field, if the Juntian decree is implemented, then the income of the Seven Star faction is bound to be affected, when the income cannot support so many people, all the Seven Star faction can do is to cut the people and send the people out of the sect。
This influence can be described as far-reaching, directly leading to the fact that in the next hundred years, the disciples of the Weiyang faction surpassed the Seven Star Sect and completely became the largest faction in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
The Weiyang faction supported Prince Xi when he was weak, and Prince Xi reciprocated the favor and made the Weiyang faction the number one faction in the Great Zhou Kingdom, which became a reasonable thing.
These things are the changes in the Great Zhou Kingdom after Prince Xi ascended the throne, Zhao Yishan went to Ni Xiong's immortal cultivation sect later, and after overhearing it, it was inevitable that he would sigh again.
Besides, at this time, after Zhao Yishan left from Zhao Ming's Sikong Mansion, he went to Dinglan Bookstore on Dwarf Ying Street in the west of the city, about three years ago, Zhao Yishan met Li Qingsong by chance, and Li Qingsong told Zhao Yishan that if you want to find him, just find Ding Lan Bookstore.
Zhao Yishan has always wanted to find Li Qingsong, but unfortunately there is no chance, this time he returned to Tianhong City, maybe he will never come back, Zhao Yishan decided to go to Li Qingsong and ask for Shi Xiaoying from the Song family for Li Qingsong.
Came to the Dinglan bookstore, there were sparse guests in the bookstore, Zhao Yishan explained his intention to the shopkeeper of the bookstore, and the shopkeeper groaned: "Brother Zhao, I won't tell you, Li Qingsong is dead, Shi Xiaoying is also dead, and even the Song family is extinct." ”
Zhao Yishan asked, "Why is this happening?"
The shopkeeper said carefully: "After Dayan Iron rode into Tianhong City, he began to clear the people in the city who knew martial arts. The Song family is so conspicuous in Tianhong City, it has naturally become the target of the Dayan Iron Cavalry, and the whole family was surrounded and killed by the Dayan Iron Cavalry, and none of them escaped. The Song family was exterminated, and the female dependents of the Song family were captured alive by the Dayan Iron Cavalry, and they were to be transported to the front line to be official prostitutes, Shi Xiaoying was naturally among them, Li Qingsong heard the news, and under the anger, he took a kitchen knife and rushed to the team escorting the female dependents of the Song family, wielding a kitchen knife and slashing at the Dayan Iron Cavalry, and the result was naturally divided by the knife. Li Qingsong died tragically in front of Shi Xiaoying, Shi Xiaoying screamed and bit her tongue to commit suicide. Brother Zhao inquired about Li Qingsong and Shi Xiaoying, does it have an old relationship with them?"
Zhao Yishan saw the shopkeeper's enthusiasm, and he didn't deceive, and said: "I do have an old relationship with Li Qingsong and Shi Xiaoying, but I didn't expect their ending to be like this, and I'm sorry for them!"
Zhao Yishan shook his head and sighed as he walked out of Ding Lan's bookstore.
Leaving Dinglan Bookstore and leaving the west of the city, Zhao Yishan came to the south of the city and came to Yuhuai Street in the south of the city.
Here, there is Zhao Yishan's brother of the Yuhuai Street Steward, Zhao Yishan slowly came to the former Yuhuai Street Steward's station, which has been barren, more precisely very dilapidated, and was burned down by a fire, needless to say that this must be a good thing done by the Dayan National Railway.
Seeing the dilapidated appearance of the Yuhuai Street house, Zhao Yishan couldn't help but feel sad, and stood in place with emotion for a long time.
However, Zhao Yishan didn't sigh for too long, he had already experienced life and death, and the destruction of the Yuhuai Street stewardship would not make Zhao Yishan lose his temper.
Waiting for Zhao Yishan to clean up his mood, he walked slowly south, the place he was going to was the station of the Tapir Gang, and he wanted to see if Peng Tapir was still in Tianhong City.
After arriving at the station of the Tapir Gang, Zhao Yishan found that the place had been renamed and occupied by a gang called the Sledgehammer Gang.
Zhao Yishan found the minions guarding the door and asked, "Friend, where did the original tapir gang go here, and where is their gang leader Peng Tapir?"
The minions guarding the door squinted at Zhao Yishan, and said lightly: "Tapir Gang, they are really unlucky, Da Yan Tie was exterminated by Zhu Yunyu before he rode into the city, and their gang leader Peng Tapir didn't know where to escape, it was also the good luck of the surname Peng, otherwise after Dayan Tie rode into the city, he would definitely catch him and hang on the wall of Tianhong City." ”
The minions guarding the door still wanted to say something, but unfortunately after Zhao Yishan heard this, he had already turned around and left, Zhao Yishan was going to Zimo Street, Zimo Street and Yuhuai Street were adjacent to it, where there was the Pengjin Martial Arts Hall, and Zhao Yishan had a wine conversation with Yun Rong, the owner of the Pengjin Martial Arts Hall.
Yun Rong also instructed Zhao Yishan to find the Min Song Martial Arts Pavilion and find Ni Xiong, so Zhao Yishan came to Tianhong City and had to visit Master Yun Rong.
But like what happened before, when Zhao Yishan came to the Pengjin Martial Arts Hall, what he saw was a ruin.
Zhao Yishan found the restaurant opposite the martial arts hall and asked the guys in the restaurant, "Why did the Pengjin Martial Arts Hall become like this?
As expected, the guy said: "The Pengjin Martial Arts Pavilion was naturally destroyed by the Great Yan Iron Cavalry, Master Yun Rong is strong in martial arts and escaped their pursuit, Master Yun Rong is a good person, I hope he has a good result for the old man." ”
Zhao Yishan nodded and said, "His old man will definitely have a good result." ”
With a heavy heart, Zhao Yishan walked to the north of the city, preparing to return to the inn.
But what Zhao Yishan didn't expect was that he met Ji Jindu in the middle of the road, and since Ji Jindu recovered the Ziyun Sword and received the reward from Zhu Yunyu, he said goodbye to everyone and began to travel the world.
Zhao Yishan finally met an old man, so he naturally took Ji Jindu to the restaurant, Ji Jindu naturally recognized Zhao Yishan, seeing that Zhao Yishan was so enthusiastic, he did not refuse, followed behind Zhao Yishan, and slowly walked to the nearest restaurant.
Zhao Yishan ordered a table of dishes, seven or eight pots of wine, and beckoned Ji Jin to sit down.
Ji Jin sat down with no joy or anger, he waited for Zhao Yishan to speak.
After Zhao Yishan and other dishes and wines were served, he poured Ji Jindu full of wine, and asked: "Brother Ji, I said goodbye three years ago, I didn't expect to see you here again, the old people are reunited, let's have a drink!"
