Fu Xiaoguan helped the old farmer to stand up, and said with a smile: "Actually, I know that these words don't mean much, because the farming technology is too backward. But don't worry, old man, everything will be fine. ”

The old peasant smiled bitterly, thinking to himself that when he heard that the tax would be increased by two percent, how could he be better today?

Fu Xiaoguan said goodbye to the old man, and a group of people returned to the camp, and Fu Xiaoguan asked Qin Wenzhe: "Where does this place belong to?" ”

"Jiangnan East Road, Shengzhou, Lingshui County jurisdiction."

"Hmm......" Fu Xiaoguan nodded thoughtfully.

"You know how to farm?" Shangguan Miao asked curiously.

"Of course, my family is a large landowner in Linjiang, if I don't know how to farm, I will be deceived by the tenants."

A group of students were stunned, but Fu Xiaoguan then said: "In fact, everything is the same truth, if you enter the court as an official in the future, if you don't understand the human geography of the place under your jurisdiction, and don't know the advantages and disadvantages of the place under your jurisdiction, you will also be deceived by the officials below." Therefore, officials do not sit in the public office every day, but sink down and go to the countryside and fields in order to understand the suffering of the people, understand the strategy of governance, and know what kind of resources they have in their hands. ”

"If you are an official, you must benefit one party. Remember, raising taxes is the stupidest and most incompetent way for officials, and what you have to do is to use local resources to make business prosperous, and only an active economy can solve the suffering of the people and the worries of a country. ”

The students pondered for a moment, thought deeply, and looked at Fu Xiaoguan, and felt that this guy was becoming more and more profound.

……

……

February 25 of the ninth year of the Xuanli calendar.

It has been fifteen days since the convoy left Jinling.

The further south you go, the more spring is in full bloom, the sun is shining in the first two or three days, and you can see green grass and wild flowers blooming in the fields and mountains.

Along the way, Fu Xiaoguan would always instill in these students, consciously or unconsciously, the importance of the economy to a country, especially put forward a new argument that everything is inferior only to high education.

There is ambiguity in your understanding of this sentence. I am not criticizing the words of the sage, there is nothing wrong with what the sage said, what is wrong is the interpretation of this sentence by later generations. ”

In the puzzled eyes of Qin Wenzhe and other students, Fu Xiaoguan slowly expounded the true solution of what he thought was this sentence.

"First of all, reading books opens us up to wisdom and increases knowledge, which is the foundation of the progress of human society. If there are no books, no one reads, then we will still stay in the era of drinking blood. When human beings invented writing in the process of civilization, so there were books, which recorded the wisdom of the ancients, and we got the civilization inherited through these books, such as fire, such as farming, such as weaving, such as iron smelting and casting, etc., so that society has developed to what it is now. Now you are thinking about a question, do you rely on the officials of a country to promote the development of society? ”

"I won't answer this question for you for the time being, leave it on the road and let you think for yourself, after you arrive in the Wu Dynasty, you need to write an answer to me."

This remark naturally aroused the reflection of all the students, and they realized that officials played a very small role in the progress of society.

So what is the root cause of the real progress of society and the prosperity of the country?

Fu Xiaoguan threw them a proposition and didn't care about it anymore, at this moment he was sitting in Su Jue's carriage.

There were three people in this carriage, and the other was a middle-aged man, dressed as a businessman, Fu Xiaoguan had never seen it, and Su Jue had not introduced him.

"This is information about Yu Chunqiu, the general of the Eastern Frontier Army."

Fu Xiaoguan took it and looked at it carefully, his eyebrows gradually tightened, he opened the curtains, there were still two hundred miles away from the border city, but it had already begun to rain.

At this moment, the convoy is marching on the Cangxi Plain, and tonight the convoy will be stationed at the Cangxi Post Station, which is under the nose of the southern border army, and the convoy will arrive in the border city tomorrow night.

The letter reads:

"Prince De's fiefdom of Yulin County, Shengzhou, has three sons and two daughters under his knees, and the prince Yu Chunqiu served as the general of the Southern Frontier Army on the eighth day of the eighth month of the eighth month of the third year of the Xuanli calendar."

"Yu Chunqiu is now Chinese New Year's Eve six years old, from the 40th to the 45th year of Taihe, he studied at the Jixia Academy of Martial Arts, proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts, especially good at arranging troops. From the 46th year of Taihe to the third year of Xuanli, Yu Chunqiu traveled all over the world, visited the military strategists of various countries, and served in the northern border army for three years, serving as the chief staff officer. ”

His wife Peng Yuyan, the granddaughter of Peng Tu, the Duke of Dingguo, has an ordinary appearance, but it is rumored that her intelligence is extremely high, and she has won the military strategy of Peng Guogong. Good at fighting, make a pair of iron mace, weighing thirty-three pounds and eight taels. ”

"Yu Chunqiu has two sons and one daughter, the eldest son Yu Xiping was ordered to live in Jinling for a long time in July of the third year of the Xuanli calendar, this person is extremely low-key, almost out of the house, and has never found contacts with Jinling dignitaries."

Fu Xiaoguan put this information in his sleeve pocket, and then said to the middle-aged man beside Su Jue: "I have to ask you to work hard and help me check the border city." ”

The middle-aged man left with his fists clenched, Su Jue straightened his crown hat and asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with Yu Chunqiu?" ”

The corners of Fu Xiaoguan's mouth curled, "He has no problem, I think I will meet this general tonight." ”

"He's coming to visit you at the inn?"

"No......" Fu Xiaoguan shook his head, "If we don't receive his post within half an hour of our arrival at Cangxi Station, I will also hand him a post." ”

"Why?"

"I'm interested in his wife."

……

The Southern Frontier Army Battalion.

There is no end in sight to the camp that stretches for dozens of miles, and there is a conspicuous mansion in the depths of the camp, which is the General's Mansion.

At this moment, in the martial arts arena of the Great General's Mansion, a middle-aged woman in a power suit was wielding an iron mace about five feet long.

The silver light flickered, and the true face of the mace was barely visible.

The spring rain is boundless, but it can't float into the silver circle of the mace.

Subsequently, a middle-aged man also rushed into the martial arts arena wearing a strong suit and carrying a big knife.

The woman shouted: "That thief, it's good to come, eat the old lady!" ”

saw a silver light circulate, and the mace in her hand swung towards the knife, "Qiang! With an explosion, the broadsword was swept away by a huge force, and her body jumped from the ground, and the mace smashed down on the man's head with the spring rain.

The man also shouted: "That little lady, eat the old man's knife!" ”

The two fought for dozens of rounds, until the peach blossom in the corner of the wall fell.

"The lady is amazing!"

"Husband admits it!"

The two returned to the room, and a maid served hot tea and hot towels, "General, madam, Master Xuan came just now, and said...... The Ninth Princess and her entourage have not settled in Cangtong, and according to the time, they should rest in Cangxi Station tonight. ”
