Pei Xi's gift of beauty is quite like a script, joke, and legend in the market...... The update is so fast. After all, "100 people" is an astonishing number, and it is absolutely beautiful, adding another layer of romance. Therefore, the matter quickly spread all over the streets and alleys, and there were countless versions in half a month, and the storyteller was also very knowledgeable, withheld his name, and told this story.

Different from the folk relish, I don't know how many people in charge of the family heard about this, smashed their favorite porcelain, raised their eyebrows, and reprimanded: "Vertical! ”

"He wants to know how to lift, and it's not Pei Xi anymore." Some people comforted themselves like this, and then their brows furrowed again, "If you can't tie up Luoyang Pei's family, the odds of winning will be reduced by thirty percent." ”

The family seems to be majestic and dares to oppose the royal family, but in essence, it is not good to say, that is, "bullying the soft and fearing the hard". At the end of the previous dynasty, when the world was in flames, I don't know how many people from humble backgrounds set themselves up as kings, and there was more than one emperor, and I didn't see what happened to the family. Those who should be obedient are still obedient, those who should be against the water are still against the water, and it is not uncommon for those who take refuge openly and secretly sacrifice the city. They call this "bearing the burden of humiliation", without this layer of whitewashing that they put gold on their faces, the truth is nothing more than the usual treachery of the family.

Luoyang Pei has always been reused by the royal family, as if they are the head of the world's family, if they oppose the royal family, it will greatly shake the momentum of the royal family, which is very beneficial to the family's "big plan", and now the problem is ...... The most outstanding son of the Pei clan in Luoyang refused to do this.

If Pei Xi is just a young and promising family, it is nothing, young people, the status is often not high, and the opposition is insignificant. The bad thing is that he is the descendant of the Pei family, or the first to use it in this generation, many people speculate that Pei Jin secretly 'handed over' many things of the Pei family to Pei Xi. Who dares to underestimate this kind of real power? Even if he bypassed him and participated in the grand event with his father and brother, who could be sure that the Pei family's affairs would not be known to him?

This thing is stuck for the time being.

Qin Wan naturally heard about Pei Xi's feat, what a smart person she was, and immediately understood the order of cause and effect: the family had a change, and the sage learned that the sage would force Qin Wan to make a choice, because the family was also targeting Pei Xi.

Fortunately, she didn't turn around first, and it was a trivial matter for Pei Xi to live up to Pei Xi's efforts to become the laughing stock of the world, anyway, he felt that there were many mediocre people in the world, and it would be over with a smile, and the betrayal of his best friend was the most unforgivable.

Despite these thoughts, Qin Wan was still ashamed of his three days of hesitation, and when he saw Pei Xi, his eyes couldn't help but be a little evasive. Seeing this, Pei Xi guessed her thoughts, and when no one was around, he knocked on the table impatiently: "Isn't it the choice of the Southeast Yun Road and the Jiangnan Canal, what the hell do you look like?" ”

Can "you" guess?

However, Bae Xi's words ......

"Yan Taizu Xu Ran has mentioned this matter a long time ago, Mu Miao is from a noble background and doesn't know, there is a handwritten note enshrined in the Pei family ancestral hall, which was compiled by the ancestors after listening to Xu Ran's teachings." Pei Xi said disappreciatively, "Xu Ran is very different from Jiangnan, and he sent people to Jiangnan to reclaim the wasteland, and there is no land of fish and rice today." He originally wanted to dig a canal in the south of the Yangtze River, but he was a thief of the country, his position was unstable, and the powerful forces were very strong at that time, and the movements of the Liu royal family were not small. Instead of 'spending' a huge amount of manpower and material resources on the south of the Yangtze River, it is better to pass through the Guanzhong and Kanto regions, so he gave priority to repairing the Tongji Canal and Shanyang Desert. ”

When Qin Wan heard this, he couldn't help but worry: "Xu Ran mentioned it a long time ago? ”

"Don't worry, no one else should know, oh, no, Rong Xiu may know a little." Pei Xi waved his hand and said with interest, "The ancestor of the Pei family followed Xu Ran at that time, Xu Ran was cautious in his 'sex', disgusted with pomp, and didn't like to hug him from front to back, let alone have people staring at him, and couldn't tolerate too many outsiders around him. Even if there were, he mentioned it casually, only the ancestor who was so cautious would write it down word for word and secretly enshrine it in the ancestral hall. If it weren't for the fact that I was often punished to kneel in the ancestral hall when I was a child and turned it out, I am afraid that the patriarchs of the past generations would know this secret. But he is really remarkable, at that time everyone used charcoal, rarely used charcoal, but he vigorously promoted charcoal, and also classified charcoal as an official camp. He also ordered that all localities should not cut down indiscriminately, saying that it is not easy for trees to be completed, and it is even more difficult to grow trees. If there is no such incident, with the population of Guanzhong and Heluo, there may not be enough food today. ”

This is the heritage of the family, many things, they don't say or do, it doesn't mean they don't know. Just like cutting down too much forest will affect the 'fertile' of the land, if it weren't for the fact that Xia Taizu was also from a family, and Xu Ran had repeatedly ordered it, how would they know this?

The reason why Qin Wan considered the front and back of the Jiangnan Canal and the Southeast Transportation Road was, in the final analysis, that Guanzhong had enough food. Even if Luoyang's grain is transported over and lost a lot, the supply can keep up. If there is a shortage of food in Guanzhong, naturally don't talk about it, and you can't go to Luoyang to work first, right? Although Luoyang is the eastern capital, but when it comes and goes, not to mention the loss of labor and money, the result of wanting to control both sides can only be that both sides have been exploited.

Just as Qin Wan was thinking about the matter of charcoal and charcoal, Pei Xi said again: "You don't know these things when Wei Tuo?" He must have guessed it, otherwise why would he marry such a house-filler? He is not like me, he knows everything about astronomy, geography, water conservancy and stars, so he can only find a water conservancy expert and have a few connections. ”

Qin Wan was originally full of emotion and worry, but when he heard Pei Xi boasting, he also belittled Wei Tuo sourly, and the 'gloom' haze that had accumulated in his heart disappeared immediately: "Don't bury Wei Tuo, it sounds fake!" ”

Wei Tuo's kind of person, at most, glanced at the list of candidates for filling the house, and found that Wen Province was good, from the family of a big businessman, and had a good understanding of water conservancy, so he hooked Mrs. Wen to fill the house to see if she could use it in the future. It couldn't be that he wanted to think about water conservancy, and he just happened to fill in the house and chose the other party.

Thinking of this, Qin Wan also felt that she was really in too much shortage, and she had spent too much time and 'yin' on those insignificant things before, if it weren't for the sage to show her, how would she know that the people abandoned the fields and fled so strictly? Water conservancy and water transportation, although I have thought about it before, I don't know where to start.

Her frustration lasted only a moment, and then she perked up and asked, "I remember that you have traveled, is there anything unusual?" ”

Pei Xi glanced at her and said, "Yes! Children and 'women', as long as they dare to go out alone, there will be traffickers to arrest them. Passers-by won't care, and when they do, they say to catch the slaves and go back. Young and strong men are not so safe, and when they encounter the family's slave hunting team, they are everywhere taken away to reclaim the wasteland. ”

"This dynasty ......" Isn't this dynasty untouched and never closed at night? Although Qin Wan knew that this was an exaggeration, it was not as bad as what Pei Xi said, right?

Knowing what Qin Wan wanted to say, Pei Xi glanced at her: "That's in places like Chang'an and Luoyang, where there is good security, Rao is like this, and the imperial court has sent guards to search for kidnappers several times!" Put it in a remote place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, who will tell you about these rules? Otherwise, why bring an escort when the caravan travels? Why would caravans and convoys prefer to pay a large sum of money and follow the ranks of officials, providing ships and horses for free? Don't you want to get shelter, pay less taxes, and be robbed less? This dynasty is not bad, the family does not dare to be too public, and there are a lot fewer things to arrest people, so as to change to the previous dynasty...... "Even if you are killed by the family on the street, no one will avenge you." Even if you are lucky enough to encounter a party dispute and this matter is taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives, you don't want to think about paying for blood debts. There are eight discussions in the family, and taking wealth, titles, etc., can offset crimes. Kill a civilian, at most lose some money, and still want the family to pay for his life?

This is also one of the reasons why Pei Xi doesn't want the family to return to power, and the royal family is dominant, which is better than the demons of the major families 'messing' and dancing, and there may not be fewer people who are domineering, but there will not be more than back then. Of course, if the Ninth Five-Year Supreme is unreasonable, he doesn't mind subverting this huge country.

Qin Wan has already discovered where her weaknesses are, she is very smart and cares about government affairs, which is true. But just like the castle in the sky, it is not down-to-earth.

When Mu Miao was the governor of Jiangnan, he personally traveled all over the surrounding areas before he had a plan to dig the Jiangnan Canal. When the sage was in Pingnan, he understood the military strategy and how to appease the people, and what about himself? If you are in power and there are countless voices in your ears, how do you choose who to listen to?

Just looking at people, I'm afraid it's not enough, as for farming?

As soon as Qin Wan's mind moved, he was vetoed by Pei Xi: "Come on, do you really believe in that, open up vegetable fields and farm in the palace and palace?" Whoever should do something, the people farm for a living, and we people go to farm, that is to sell fame and reputation. Ordinary people, a man wants to 'get' more than a dozen acres of land, no matter how 'fine' and meticulous the care is, it is too sparse, you plant it in the palace? At most, you can loosen the soil a few times and water it, and you won't come at all. I'm afraid that there are 180 people in the special 'gate' who take turns to look at these vegetable ancestors, lest something go wrong with them, and human life is really not as expensive as vegetable gold. ”

There are not no people who resign and go into hiding, among these people, there are many people who sell their fame and reputation, and there are also some people who are extremely sincere and really obsessed with the countryside, of course Pei Xi will not overturn a boatload of people with a rod. But high-ranking officials and eunuchs, the prince and grandson are going to do this? is extremely rich, and to put on such a simple posture, the plan must not be small.

Pei Xi has never looked down on the set of "not fighting is fighting", in his opinion, if you want to fight, you must fight openly, which is not only a posture, but also a mentality, but also a momentum. Thinking about how to preserve his strength every day, hiding behind people, and wanting to be a profitable fisherman, this kind of person lacks such a sharp spirit that would rather bend than bend. Everything in this world, how can you compete for everything and let you pick up cheap? If you don't have the heart to move forward, in the face of a strong enemy, you say you won't retreat? Ghost believes!
