Chapter 4 Let him be happy with himself
Empress Dowager Gao said: "A few hundred per person, a lot of them add up, and there are nearly three thousand female soldiers." Coupled with the men's army, spending money every day is like running water, if you don't feel sorry, my heart hurts. ”
Qin Chao knew that she had always been thrifty, so it was not surprising to say this, and said with a smile: "Strong women can't change their childishness." Don't worry, Uncle Ben has money. Thinking of the fact that so many gold and silver mountains in Japan have become his personal money bag in later generations, I can't help but feel proud.
Empress Dowager Gao was the most powerful and couldn't predict how much gold and silver were buried in the ground, so she said solemnly: "It's easy to say." If you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are not at home. Strong men can't change the big rules. ”
smiled slightly: "The most annoying thing is Su Dabeard." With a stroke of the pen, it cheapens others, but it hurts you and me. Who doesn't know that a high salary is cheap, but who can afford it?
It's easy to lift it up, but is it okay to come down?
It's no wonder if you don't rebel below.
But if you don't come down, when you can't afford to raise it, it's hard to move an inch without money, see what you do? ”
Qin Chao smiled and said: "If we don't listen to Mr. Dongpo's words, in the eyes of future generations, isn't it a faint monarch who can't listen to people's words?" ”
Empress Dowager Gao said: "You can still laugh!" ”
Qin Chaodao: "I know that the demise of all dynasties, in addition to the population growth and the lack of land, is mainly a financial crisis, and the income cannot make ends meet. It's easy to add spending, but it's hard to reduce a little bit, and it's a big disappointment. ”
Empress Dowager Gao nodded and smiled: "Then you still dare to listen to his words, it is not as safe as Jing Guogong." When it was his turn to do it himself, Su Dabeard turned out to be more radical than him, much more new than you said about the new party. ”
Qin Chaoxin said: "It's me and not me, history books say so, I'm pirating again." ”
said: "Mr. Dongpo knows that it is useless to talk to those people below, and money is the most practical." There is too much milk in this world. But this is normal, when I was penniless, didn't I always make money by telling books?
Who wouldn't want to have a better life? ”
Empress Dowager Gao secretly contrasted his past downfall. I feel the value of money more and more.
said: "When you are rich and powerful, others will listen to you everywhere." The money has been given to others, and you have become a poor bastard, and you are too late for others to despise you, who will listen to you? ”
Qin Chao said: "Therefore, the common people are so poor that they sell their sons and daughters, but the court is getting richer and richer, and the ministers compare with each other." Compare with the same level, compare up and down, I must be higher than you. Stronger than you, richer than you, wives and concubines more beautiful than yours, houses bigger than your house, more servants than you......
Everything is compared, and everything costs money.
They all tried their best to make money, and corruption became commonplace. As soon as the emperor touched the interests of his ministers, he could not move an inch and was attacked by a group. I don't touch. Either eat and wait for death, or go along with the same stream and accelerate the demise of the dynasty. ”
"You're just waiting to die!" Empress Dowager Gao was obviously hit in the sore spot, and said with a cold face: "The old lady didn't want to be in charge of that power. It's not that I'm forced to go up, I can't get down. ”
Qin Chao said: "I can understand this. Because you and I have very similar personalities in this regard, you either don't do it, or you can do it to the end. But even the grandchildren you raised single-handedly can't understand you. Who else in the world can understand you? ”
Empress Dowager Gao laughed and said, "No wonder you are so bold that you dare to take advantage of the fire to rob and touch the old lady's buttocks!" ”
Qin Chao retracted his hand abruptly.
He smiled wryly: "It's okay to tell me these foul words." If Mr. Dongpo hears it, I don't know how to blame me. ”
Empress Dowager Gao said: "If you don't even have the freedom to speak foul language, then the old lady might as well go back to the palace, continue to be a bodhisattva, and be offered by incense." ”
Qin Chao said: "The Bodhisattva is mud when he is down." ”
"After death, who is not a cup of loess?" Empress Dowager Gao said one by one, "There is no distinction between high and low." It doesn't matter if it's an emperor or a slave. It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman. ”
Qin Chao smiled slightly: "After people die, they turn into a cup of loess, which in turn gives Nuwa a theoretical basis for the myth of making people from clay." ”
Empress Dowager Gao frowned and said, "If you don't want to be the second king, it's better not to speak ill of Nuwa Niangniang." ”
Qin Chao said: "It was difficult to understand the behavior of the king before, it turned out that he didn't know enough. When a person is strong enough to a certain extent, has a certain understanding of ghosts and gods, and is indeed no longer in awe of those gods as before, it is inevitable that some different hearts will arise. ”
Empress Dowager Gao pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, men are not all like that!" can have a different heart for the Queen Mother, not to mention the invisible Nuwa Niangniang. ”
He added: "But I advise you to restrain yourself, and you can't even think like that in your heart." Under normal circumstances, with Nuwa Niangniang's supernatural powers, she won't even know how to 'read minds'."
Qin Chao said: "It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance." Regardless of whether the big names in myths and legends still exist, I will not be taken seriously by them now, otherwise their achievements will never be so high. ”
Empress Dowager Gao smiled: "Du Fu's "Wangyue", can still be solved like this! ”
After a while, he analyzed: "It's like those little people who like to talk nonsense about the things in your and my room, are we going to find the door to settle accounts one by one?"
But those unlucky ghosts are bumped into by us, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't punish, and if the punishment is small, it will only deepen the hatred, and if the punishment is great, the hatred will be greater, and the killing will be too tyrannical. I have to be out of sight. In other words, it's not that you can't see it, but you don't want to see it. ”
Qin Chao sighed: "Therefore, the king is a big unlucky ghost. Nuwa Niangniang happened to be full of anger and had nowhere to go, so the king bumped into it and took the blame for those little people. ”
Empress Dowager Gao muttered: "Do you think that we are far behind the king now? ”
Qin Chao said: "The strength of the king is only under the saints of Nuwa Niangniang and Yiqi Sanqing, but it is normal to become a king and lose a king, and it is normal to be looked down upon repeatedly. ”
Empress Dowager Gao said: "Actually, you don't need a mythical saint, with your current strength, you should also be able to make a 'god list'." ”
Qin Chao said: "The 'Soul Flag' can barely be tried, and the 'Northern Spiritual Skill' has a lot in common with it. But the cause and effect are too great, and I don't dare to act rashly until I fully understand it. The 'God List' is not so simple, don't even think about it. ”
The two of them pulled east and west, sometimes mixed with their views on the ten strategies.
At that time, Wang Anshi took the principle of 'giving birth to the wealth of the world because of the power of the world, and taking the wealth of the world for the expenses of the world', starting from financial management, promulgated the Farmland Water Conservancy Law, the Law of Equal Loss, the Law of Green Seedlings, the Law of Exemption from Labor, the Law of Municipal Ease, and the Law of Equal Taxation of Fangtian, and implemented the Law of Protecting Armor and the Law of General War to strengthen the army. In the end, the reform ended in failure, and the situation deteriorated even more, making the people in the Song Dynasty and the opposition even more afraid and disgusted with the reform than the old law. Now Su Shi also started from the economy, with the purpose of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and basically copied Wang Anshi's changes, mainly in the details.
Back then, it was a one-size-fits-all approach, and the sooner the better.
Now it's going in stages, step by step.
Judging only from the surface, Empress Dowager Gao held high the banner of opposing the reform of the law and has always been the head of the old party who opposes the reform. In fact, I secretly admire Wang Anshi's personality very much, but in fact, what I oppose is not to change the law, nor is it very opposed to rushing to achieve results.
In short, the problem is very complicated, and the Empress Dowager Gao can only see the disadvantages clearly at most, and she can't find a good solution to it, so she has to use a stupid method -- calm down and respond to all changes without change.
Now that he saw Su Shi's ten strategies, he secretly clamoured the case, and scolded with a smile: "Everyone says that Su Dabeard is extremely smart, and no one has ever said that he is a sinister villain." But I know he is, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to write so many wonderful articles. ”
It was Su Shi who praised and scolded the Qin Dynasty.
Qin Chao said: "Mr. Dongpo is very good at absorbing the strengths of others. What others see is Wang Anshi's failure and all kinds of flaws in Wang Anshi, but Mr. Dongpo is just the opposite. Moreover, he not only saw Wang Anshi's advantages and successes, but also integrated them into himself and used them flexibly. ”
His words, from the other side, fiercely criticized the Empress Dowager Gao, blaming her for only seeing those bad things, dragging Wang Anshi's hind legs, and making it difficult to change the law.
Empress Dowager Gao was stunned and said, "You are too good to Su Dabeard." ”
is talking about Su Shi, referring to Wang Anshi.
Qin Chao said: "Are you not good to Mrs. Su?" ”
Empress Dowager Gao smiled and said, "I heard that he was at odds with you because of Mrs. Su." ”
Qin Chao's heart fluttered! Thump! Jumping on the ground, he couldn't calm down, and said casually on the surface: "It's obviously because of you." Stop talking nonsense, okay? ”
Empress Dowager Gao said: "That's his self-righteousness and self-deception." For me some, but is that for my good? No. That's the ministers' control zhì want to do weird, look at me unpleasantly, blame me for not going according to their wishes, and think it's for my good! ”
Qin Chao smiled bitterly: "Most Han parents treat their children like this:
I'm here for your good, why don't you do what I say? Disobedience is not good for you.
If you had done what I said, you wouldn't be what you are now?
If you don't know what you're wrong about, if you don't correct it, if you don't listen to me, you will be even more miserable in the future. ”
sighed and said, "Didn't you do the same to Zhao Xu back then?" ”
Empress Dowager Gao couldn't laugh or cry a little, and said with emotion: "Everyone is accustomed to controlling others, but they hate being accused very much." Parents are well-intentioned. He's not a parent, and his best intentions are in the wrong place. ”
Qin Chao said: "Just because parents are strong in front of their children, Mr. Dongpo is weak in front of you." The strong control the weak, and the weak are powerless to resist. The weak control the strong is ten times or a hundred times cooler than the strong controlling the weak, but you are disobedient and don't let Mr. Dongpo be refreshed. ”
Empress Dowager Gao said: "You are very accommodating to him, and you would rather be unhappy with yourself and let him be happy." As a result, he still doesn't know how to thank you after he is happy, which makes you even more unhappy. ”
Qin Chao said: "This is the reason why he can't stay in front of Zhao Xu." is not a flattering villain, and nine times out of ten he is not likable to the above. Why did the king kill Bigan? It's not just the king's fault. It's kind, but it's too good. (To be continued......)
