Chapter 1402: Lake Heart Flaw

Hua Yingrong is a sensual beauty, with delicate and smooth skin, and a body fragrance like an orchid.

When Lin Haoran took Hua Yingrong over, the fire that had just been extinguished quickly sprang up. Just when she wanted to take the opportunity to kiss Fang Ze, she was pushed away by her hand.

Hua Yingrong is a very principled person, and she doesn't like this kind of overly intimate behavior in public, but she glared at him and said, "Last night was not enough!" ”

Lin Haoran thought about the infinite spring light last night, and grinned and said, "It's never enough!" ”

In the face of such a stunner, if it weren't for his more temperate person, I am afraid that he would die on this woman's belly before he would give up. It's just that he knows that this woman is fine in bed, and he definitely can't let go of it in this kind of place, and he is trying to calm down the restlessness in his heart.

Hua Yingrong felt Lin Haoran's affection, stretched out her hand to fix her hair, but said affirmatively: "You can't fool me!" Although you accompanied me during the day, when you returned to the Yamen, you saw a lot of people, and I am afraid that you have done a lot of things in private, right? ”

"Isn't it normal that I threw the bait out when I entered the city that day, and now someone has come to take refuge in me?" Lin Haoran spread his hands and cocked Erlang's legs disappreciatively.

Hua Yingrong met his gaze and seemed to see through everything: "There are indeed many officials who come to take refuge in you now, but do Yangzhou general judge Chen Fengming and magistrate Yu Changqing need to come to see you again and again?" ”

"Isn't this a sign of loyalty?" Lin Haoran grabbed a pear from the plate next to him, bit the flesh and said vaguely.

"You're treating me like a three-year-old, aren't you?" Hua Yingrong watched him eat pears to cover up, but she continued without breaking down: "The reason why you frequently call Yu Tuiguan now, I'm afraid there are important clues in Chen Xiaoxiao's case, right?" ”

As for this man's ability to solve cases, she has seen it as early as Leizhou City and Guangzhou City, and it can be described as a miraculous skill. Now that he has obtained some information in advance, he naturally cannot easily plant himself in this case, and now he is probably secretly sending people to investigate this case.

"Didn't you say okay? Let's just play, not talk about government affairs! Lin Haoran knew that these small actions could hide from others, but he couldn't hide from this extremely smart pillow person.

Hua Yingrong originally wanted to know where the investigation went, but seeing that the man didn't mean to say anything, she didn't continue to ask.

The delicate boat sailed on the clear surface of the lake, followed by several ships escorting it, and a disorganized fleet slowly crossed a wooden bridge and slowly sailed to the center of the ship.

Hey?

Lin Haoran and Hua Yingrong looked ahead, Hua Yingrong covered her nose with a silk scarf, but Lin Haoran frowned and looked there, which was not the same as the Slender West Lake he was hoping for.

However, I saw piles of silt in the center of the lake, accompanied by a peculiar smell wafting in the breeze, which made the scenery of the lake and mountains a little more flawed, and even made many people cover their noses.

Since the middle of the lake was impassable, the fleet circled to the east shore. Although the silt of the lake seems to be a big sight, the scenery on both sides of the river is also very charming, and it is a good place to play.

There are many weeping willows and big trees planted by the lake, and there are many houses and shops, and there are also some scholars and women. Several women are washing clothes, and fish are swimming in the shallow water, showing the charm of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The sun was blocked by weeping willows and trees, and ships sailed in the shade. Stopping at a private pier, the boatman tied the rope, and Lin Haoran climbed the stairs with Hua Yinghua.

Maybe it's because of the early days, but it's very cool.

Lin Haoran and Hua Yingrong are not lively personalities, but the two of them like the feeling of swimming together hand in hand, walking slowly on the path by the lake together, enjoying the scenery next to them.

Walking along the road by the lake, I passed a very simple village. When they saw their group coming, the entrance of the village attracted the attention of many people, but they looked at the two of them with envy and curiosity.

Lin Haoran did not enter the village, but simply glanced at it. It's just that I don't know if this is a poor village, or a group of people who fled the famine and settled here, but the life of this village is undoubtedly insecure.

In this day and age, once you lose your land, you often lose everything.

"It is said that Jiangnan is rich in the world, but the poor are also common, and sometimes I feel that the people here are far inferior to Leizhou!" Hua Yingrong looked at these scenes, and also sighed slightly.

Lin Haoran listened to this woman admiring Leizhou so much, but shook his head lightly. "The land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile, and the cultivated area of many provinces is more than that of a southwestern province, and its heritage is still very deep, which is not comparable to Leizhou!"

"Then why do I always see a lot of unclothed people in many important economic towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and many villages are even more dilapidated, and their lives are indeed not as good as the people of Leizhou!" Hua Yingrong frowned slightly, tilted her neck and asked.

"One is that the flood of the previous year has not restored the original atmosphere in various places, and the other is that with the rise of one official gentry family after another, a large amount of land in the south of the Yangtze River has been occupied, which has squeezed the living space of some ordinary people. In fact, Leizhou also has these situations, but the trade in Leizhou has made many bankrupt people have a livelihood to rely on, so the form will look stronger! Lin Haoran explained seriously.

"The gentry family occupies more land, isn't this the strategy of the imperial court? Wouldn't it be better to govern the country better if the imperial court gave jinshi and people tax exemption fields, so that more talented scholars could enter the court as officials? Hua Yingrong was puzzled again.

"I stayed in the Hanlin Academy for a while, and there was no such case at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty!" Lin Haoran replied very affirmatively, turned his head to look at Hua Yingrong and said seriously: "This is actually not the strategy of the imperial court, but the biggest stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty, and even the culprit who will destroy the Ming Dynasty in the future!" ”

"How so?" Hua Yingrong did not question Lin Haoran's words, and asked solemnly.

"The gentry and gentry encroached on the property of the common people, but they were all people who were familiar with the books of the sages, but they did not go too far. Like now, many of the tenants are not living badly. It's just that once there is a continuous catastrophe, many official gentry families will inevitably choose to hoard grain to protect themselves even if they are not to make a fortune, and who will care about the life and death of the tenants at that time? Lin Haoran thought of the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and said with pain in his eyes.

It was in the face of continuous disasters that these officials and gentry, who occupied most of the means of production, were in danger, and finally brewed the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty.
