In summer, drought, and big pheasants (Note 1), no fire shall be raised.

At the beginning of the current reform, the heavy rain became a disaster, so that the Weiqiao was extinct, and the winter was a season without ice, and then two years, although there was no such catastrophe, but, there were also anomalies such as eclipses, the year was not on the year, it was really worrying, although the edict was repeatedly issued, all kinds of favors were given, but the heavens did not admit their feelings, and after barely two years without disasters, there was a great drought again.

The whole court, from the prime minister to the prime minister, are all worried, although the sacrifice of the pheasant has been held, but the drought has not been alleviated, and the fire has to be forbidden, and the people's hearts that were originally excited by Su Wu's return to the Han Dynasty floated again.

The virtuous and literary, which had not attracted attention before, suddenly became tougher, and the cries for the rejection of salt, iron, drunkenness, and equal loss became louder and louder.

"What does the general think?" Tian Qianqiu really couldn't bear those people, and he couldn't be the master, so he could only come to find Huo Guang.

Huo Guang flipped through the record books, took out a volume casually, unfolded it, looked at it twice, then put it down again, turned his head and asked Sang Hongyang on the side.

"What does Doctor Goshi think?" Huo Guang asked naturally, and Sang Hongyang couldn't help answering, so he could only snort and say unhappily: "Virtuous, literature is of course virtuous!" ”

Huo Guang smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What?" The doctor has a lot of resentment! ”

"Don't dare! Can't! Hongyang is a profit-seeking villain, how dare he have a grudge against the saint's subordinates? Sang Hongyang fiercely vented his recent frustration.

Huo Guang shook his head lightly, didn't care, just continued to discuss with him: "Imperial Doctor still opposes the idea of stopping?" ”

"Naturally!" Sang Hongyang raised his head and replied without hesitation.

Huo Guang didn't say anything, and after pondering for a while, he turned his head and asked Tian Qianqiu: "What is the opinion of the prince?" ”

Tian Qianqiu glanced at Sang Hongyang in embarrassment, wanting to vaguely go over, but he didn't dare to say anything under Huo Guang's "ardent expectation" gaze, so he could only say: "The minister thinks that the people's hearts can't be uneasy. ”

As soon as Sang Hongyang wanted to open his mouth to ridicule, he heard Huo Guang chase after him and asked, "How to be safe?" ”

Tian Qianqiu is a person who does not want to make trouble, seeing Sang Hongyang staring at him with displeasure on his face, he already has the intention of retreating in his heart, but after all, he is the prime minister, the title of marquis, and the court respectfully calls him "prince and marquis", if he is silent because of the displeasure of the imperial doctor, even he himself feels unreasonable.

"Let's take some drunkenness that doesn't hurt the fundamentals, so as to show that the court will benefit the people?" This is the result of thinking about it for many days, and when he says it, he is still a little uneasy.

Although Huo Guang is not a good person, but if the frontier is not quiet, how can the use of the imperial court be reduced? Not to mention anything else, the army that is still in the southwest always needs money every day!

Tian Qianqiu said that it is a compromise method, which is a good policy, Huo Guang has already responded to forty percent in his heart, but when it comes to the way of economy, he can't help but ask Sang Hongyang, Huo Guang asked Sang Hongyang very sincerely: "What does Doctor Yushi think about this policy?" ”

Sang Hongyang didn't dare to be angry with Huo Guang, but just glared at Tian Qianqiu and said: "Salt, iron, and drunkenness, all lose, please consult the prince, which one does not hurt the root?" He bites the word "fundamentally" very hard.

These days, he has heard enough of those virtuous and literary "essentials" sayings.

After all, Tian Qianqiu is the prime minister, and the country's income is still clear, and he was criticized by Sang Hongyang, and after being stunned, he chose the one with the least annual income: "Drinking alcohol always doesn't hurt the roots!" ”

Sang Hongyang was stunned, and there was no way to refute it.

The Han Dynasty originally forbade group drinking for no reason, and in some places even banned drinking when getting married, not to mention, in a disaster year, it would also ban winemaking, and the income from wine has not been high.

Seeing Sang Hongyang like this, Huo Guang counted it and said with a smile: "Please ask the two of you to play, please stop drinking!" ”

"No!"

Tian Qianqiu was old, and after sitting for a while, he got up to say goodbye, Sang Hongyang was not in a hurry to leave, Huo Guang knew that he had something to say, and he did not urge.

When Huo Guang read the two notes and there was no one inside or outside, Sang Hongyang spoke, but he said that he was seeking an official for his children.

Sang Hongyang is a doctor of imperial history, and his son is appointed by his father, but he has not been an official so far, and it is reasonable for Sang Hongyang to be anxious.

Huo Guang pondered for a moment, did not agree, and did not refuse.

Sang Hongyang also knew that this kind of thing was useless, but he was not annoyed, and said a few more words, especially reminding Huo Guang not to believe in the truths of virtue and literature, and then left.

In the summer and July, Prime Minister Tian Qianqiu and the imperial historian Sang Hongyang played: "Virtuous and unclear county officials, and it is inconvenient to use salt and iron. Please dismiss the county state and the iron officials in the Guannai. (Note 2) said: "Yes! "The edict to ban drunkenness allowed the people to occupy the rent by law, and to sell the wine for four dollars.

Virtuous and literary are naturally happy, and all the scholars in the world are also excited, thinking that the imperial court is finally ready to take a light account again, rest with the people, and restore the old system of literature and scenery.

After listening to the Son of Heaven a few times, Xijun just didn't understand, and naturally someone would explain it to the queen, so when she heard the Son of Heaven mention virtue and literature again, the eight-year-old girl asked the Son of Heaven very seriously: "What those people say is really reasonable?" ”

"Naturally!" The young Tianzi is also very serious.

Xijun frowned: "I don't understand the words of those people, but when I was at home, I also heard my nanny talk about the previous raids of the Huns in the south, is it possible that as long as the Son of Heaven is virtuous, he can come to the court from all directions without fighting?" ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, then heard his queen clap her hands, and said with certainty: "Those truths are too profound, I remember that when I was at home, I listened to my nanny's chatter, I had money in my hand, and I didn't panic in my heart. ”

The young son of heaven looked at his queen in a daze, speechless for a long time, but he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.

- Where are the truths he is talking about......

Although Huo Guang is in charge, Liu Fuling is not an ignorant teenager who doesn't know anything, he is still very self-conscious, where can he really not understand that those virtuous and literary views are too naïve? Where did he identify with those ......

Looking at the queen with an expectant face, the young son of heaven could only smile and touch the queen's forehead: "What you said is right!" ”

Xijun blinked and asked: "Then, what those virtuous and literary words don't make sense!" ”

The young emperor was speechless, and only said after a while: "If it is unreasonable, how can the prime minister and the imperial history ask to dismiss the iron official of the Guannai?" ”

At this time, the change of Xijun was speechless, but the corners of the little girl's eyebrows were raised, and she said very scoundrelly: "If it really makes sense, the county magistrate (Note 3) should follow his proposal, and even salt and iron, even lose, and equalize the measures together!" ”

Liu Fuling smiled and shook his head helplessly: "If that's the case, I might as well be a county official!" ”
