In the evening, Lu Chensheng and Du Rufang returned to the courtyard, and Xiaoyu made some side dishes so that the two of them could have a drink.

Liu Wensheng was also called over at this time.

Hearing that he was Lu Chensheng's friend, Du Rufang's attitude was still a lot more polite.

There were three people at a table, and Qiong Yue and Du Rufang were not familiar with each other, so they went to the inner courtyard to eat.

"I didn't expect that the poets and ghosts of the Great Cangguo would also be demoted one day."

Liu Wensheng sat on the side, and after hearing what happened to the other party, there was also a bit of sympathy on his face.

In his opinion, the other party can be regarded as a real skill, but it is such a real ability, and the other party was still demoted.

He heard that although the other party had lost the competition with Lu Chensheng, his performance was also extremely good.

In this regard, the other party is really powerful.

"Brother Lu is so powerful, isn't he also regarded as a thief who plots rebellion?"

Du Rufang didn't care much, but instead pointed to Lu Chensheng on the side and spoke.

Liu Wensheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Yes, I think it's a jealous talent, and you two are not very well received." ”

As he spoke, Liu Wensheng shook his head frequently.

He naturally knows Lu Chensheng's ability, and for Lu Chensheng to be directly regarded as a rebel, to be honest, every time he thinks of this, he feels very funny.

But it's okay, Lu Chensheng's rebellion is actually quite good.

Look at everything that is happening in Xinghan City today, so that Liu Wensheng is also full of hope for the future.

The people in Xinghan City can eat well and have something to do, which is already something that hundreds of people can't ask for.

If one day, Lu Chensheng really wins the world, and he will continue to do the same.

At that time, even if his fate ended up in a bad place, then he felt that he had died without regrets.

But if you think about it carefully, Lu Chensheng will be a little different.

"God is jealous of talents, I like this."

Du Rufang listened to this, thought about it carefully, and then spoke.

He has always been more ambitious, so naturally he doesn't feel that this time it's because of himself.

"Come, come, drink, drink."

Liu Wensheng beckoned the two to drink together, and they didn't usually come to get together, so it was rare to come over today to drink happily.

"It's almost summer, Brother Lu don't forget to buy more grapes from Dacangguo to make some wine."

Liu Wensheng took a sip of wine, this is a rice wine made by locals, and it tastes pretty good, but Liu Wensheng doesn't like it very much.

I didn't have any alcohol to drink at this moment, so I made do with a little drinking.

"Don't worry, your wine will be indispensable when the time comes."

Lu Chensheng was speechless, this guy knew how to drink.

But fruits or something, you can really buy some.

Du Rufang smiled when he heard this, and he didn't speak.

In just a moment, the three of them drank a little too much, but they were still sober.

"Brother Lu, what do you think of today's world?"

Du Rufang looked at Lu Chensheng, and when he talked to Lu Chensheng before, he only talked about poetry and songs, and he didn't talk much about state affairs.

First, the identities are different, and secondly, they are not very familiar.

But now, Lu Chensheng no longer belongs to Jiang Guo, and he has also been demoted.

Now when it comes to this topic, there is no need to shy away from it.

"This world?"

Lu Chensheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, "If you want to feel that this world is too dark." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Chensheng shook his head again and again, "I'm afraid that in a few years, there will be chaos in the world." ”

"Why?"

When Du Rufang heard this, he immediately frowned slightly, and he could see that Lu Chensheng seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with all countries.

What about the other two countries, he didn't know very well.

But what can be known is that although the people in Dacang have suffered from the floods, they can still live in the end, and it is also the land of fish and rice.

"If Brother Lu investigates, he will find that the fields in the hands of the people of the world are slowly decreasing, and they are all in the hands of the squires and landlords.

These people control a large amount of land in their hands, and these people can collude with the tax collectors, change the yellow book, and use many means such as sprinkling, trickery, and spending to register the fields in the names of others to avoid taxes.

And the common people, not to mention the gradual reduction of one acre and three points of land in their hands, some of them have no land at all, and they have rented the fields of the squires, and only after a year of hard work how much grain does it get to their own hands?

Even so, the people still have a lot of rest of the labor, so do you really think that the people have a life to live?

Once there is a drought, I am afraid that the bones will pile up for thousands of miles! ”

Lu Chensheng's face was cold, and he said coldly, in his opinion, such a world should be overthrown.

Du Rufang's face turned pale when he listened to it, "What Brother Lu said is too much, this matter should not be so serious." ”

He felt that what Lu Chensheng said was too terrifying, according to what Lu Chensheng said, the world was already boring at this moment.

Lu Chensheng saw that the other party didn't believe it, and immediately sneered.

"Brother Du thinks that the people in the world are living very well, and they should be regarded as having fields in their hands, and one acre of land is calculated according to the harvest of one hundred and forty catties of grain, according to the taxes paid by Jiang State, and three liters of grain need to be paid per mu of land!

Four liters of grain is more than 40 catties of grain, and this is not the end, each household still needs all kinds of forced labor, and in fact, how much grain is paid?

A person only eats one pound of grain a day, and then he needs to cultivate three acres of land to survive, and if a family has five or six people, he needs more than ten acres of land to ensure that the family will not go hungry.

But this family, don't need to eat some vegetables and use some salt this year? Don't need some extra clothes?

According to the calculation of 100 catties of grain per acre, this family has been so difficult, why does Brother Du think that the people are still living very well? ”

How else to say that eating two meals a day, even if there are leaves in the meal, is already in the prime of life?

If you calculate carefully, you will know how hard the people of the world are living now.

Du Rufang's face turned pale when he listened to it, because the taxes in the Great Cangguo were even more serious than those in the Jiang Kingdom.

Data does not deceive people, the data that Lu Chensheng said is correct, then what he says is the truth.

Du Rufang's face turned pale, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

It's a shame that when he was just now, he told Lu Chensheng that the people of the world are still alive, where is this called paying back? This is clearly living in dire straits!
