In Lu Zifei's opinion, the four days of Qingli are no different from the three years of Qingli, they are all the same decay, no, the same word is defiled, it should be said that it is more and more degenerate.

"Master, did you refuse to be an official when you were a jinshi because you expected such a situation earlier?"

Shao Yong didn't answer the disciple's question, kept fiddling with the purple sand tea set on the table, and after repeating it twice, he stretched out his hand to signal Lu Zifei to drink tea, recalling the astringency of the tea in his mouth, and he said, "How does it taste?"

"First bitter and then sweet, taste carefully, it feels like a change in life."

Shao Yong scolded with a smile: "Blunt, this tea was invented by you, next year you will be young, you have to pretend to be deep, and the experience is there, even if the performance is mature, it is still a toddler in Handan." ”

Lu Zifei touched his head embarrassedly and said: "The disciple invented this tea soup, but he didn't want to drink the poison you cooked before. ”

"That's right, a young man must have the nature of a young man, you see that you have caused so many troubles before, what did you say for the teacher? Because I'm also from that age, why bother with this topic?

When I was ten years old, I followed my grandfather to study everywhere, and I have seen disaster victims, refugees, and even more serious of them, and I asked many gentlemen later, and they only told me that I could solve it by studying, and you must know that your master is an authentic Confucian disciple. ”

Lu Zifei said: "Is this the reason why the master doesn't stop me from studying Gewu? ”

Shao Yong's eyes were full of deep meaning and said: "Later, my footprints traveled to most places in the Great Song Dynasty, and I found that Confucianism could not save sentient beings, and then I was admitted to the Jinshi, and the faces of the people who wooed me made me disgusting, and the Liao Kingdom went south, for many reasons!" ”

Lu Zifei said: "The land annexation has become serious enough to threaten the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is to do some actions to quench the thirst of the plum, it can comfort the hearts of the peasants, if you don't act now, there will be a big riot one day." ”

Shao Yong said: "Gao, the Xue family has been in Luoyang for so many years, do you think the imperial court doesn't know? It's just two outdated families, not to mention the emperor, it's easy for Luoyang to stay and clean them up, so why don't they dare to move? ”

The answer to this question has been thought about countless times in Lu Zifei's heart, and he said: "Because there are people in the court who are not allowed to do this, because their family is the same, I am afraid that even the previous ones who stayed behind are no exception." ”

"Yes! Pull a hair and move the whole body, Fan Xiang's reform is the same reason as this, which also causes them to be struggling, all the big truths are actually very simple in the final analysis, in your words, it is interests. ”

Lu Zifei said: "According to the master, this is a dead knot, and no one can untie it." ”

Shao Yong knocked on his disciple's forehead and said, "Stupid, sometimes you are smart enough to understand a little, and sometimes you can't figure out simple things, you are doing very well in Zhuangzi!" With a little bit of face, you see that the people in the neighborhood are living very well, and I have also read the letter from Quanzhou, it is all real, what do you have any doubts. ”

Oh, yes! I seem to be a little blind, with huge interests to let the family take out the money, not to focus on the land, it seems that it will not work in a short period of time, the land is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Han people, how difficult it is to change easily.

"Master, I have decided to recruit a large number of students in Zhuangzi this year, and I want to spread the knowledge of Gewu all over the country, you can come out and help me! I really don't have the energy, those people in the capital are eyeing each other, and there is a lot of resistance. ”

Shao Yong's brows furrowed, he used to go to class in Zhuangzi and there were not many students, but now he listens to the disciple's intentions and wants to open a academy! The help he gave to his disciples along the way was extremely limited, and he faced so many enemies alone in the capital and was weak.

"Let me help you, even if you teach you Gewuxue, but to make it clear, the academy is the academy, and it can't be entangled with politics, if you bring the things in the officialdom back to the academy, I will immediately turn around and leave."

"One word is a certainty, the disciple speaks with three nails in one spittle, you can rest assured."

Shao Yong said: "Let it go!" You have ambitions, but also have the talent to govern the world, Cathay Pacific is not suitable for people like you, only such a complex situation can reflect your talents, let you show your ambitions, you are still young, can withstand failure, the rear will be handed over to the teacher, you just rush to kill in front. ”

Along the way, Lu Zifei couldn't help but be excited, the master is low-key, and his connections are absolutely broad, as Shao Yong's only disciple, he knows a lot of things that the master doesn't know, and Shao Yong represents a clear stream in the literati in the prosperous Song Dynasty.

There are also Hu Lao, Sun Lao, these two old antiques have to find a way to get to Luoyang, they put the title of emperor in the academy is simply two Dinghai Shen Needles, this time back to the capital must be visited.

But there is no shortage of fame and fortune at their age, and there are not many things that can impress them! If you really can't do it, you can put out the big killer of movable type printing, and you still want to dig a hole with this thing?

Came to Luoyang Yamen non-stop, started work today, Zeng Gongliang must be in the government office, carrying two bottles of wine into Zeng Gongliang's office, Zeng Gongliang said: "Why haven't you returned to the capital yet, I knew that I wouldn't come today." ”

"If you don't come, I'll keep waiting, until you come, it looks like you've had a good year."

Zeng Gongliang took a sip of tea and said, "Of course, the new year is good, if it weren't for you, it might be better." ”

Lu Zifei said: "The kid didn't see the new atmosphere, what he saw was the same extravagance and poverty as always. ”

"Master Hou, Lord Wangbei, let me call you Lord! Would it be good for your old man to let me live, I still want to live a few more years and watch my little grandson grow up? It's good for you to go to someone else, you don't know each other, I'll introduce you. ”

Lu Zifei sat there and said with a smile: "Don't, I can't afford it, I want to say that I know a lot of people, but who made my foundation in Luoyang?" And Luoyang, as a companion capital, is easier to produce results. ”

Zeng Gongliang hugged his head and said, "I'll go to the head office!" For the sake of my age, give me a way to live and let me spend the rest of my life, but fortunately, it's a road of no return! As long as you step on it, a lot of people are broken, I haven't heard of anyone who has retreated, I'll introduce you to a few bold people, okay, definitely better than my old stick. ”

Lu Zifei smiled even more happily, and he said, "I haven't said anything yet, you know it, Lord Zeng?" ”

Zeng Gongliang scolded: "I think you are a dog and a mouse to meddle in things, how can you meet in Luoyang when there are more refugees in the Great Song Dynasty, anyway, I won't touch the thunder, you can find whoever you like!" ”

Sure enough, it's a minefield, people like Zeng Gongliang are secretive, hum, I'm here, you still want to pass through the leaves of the thousands of flowers without sticking to your body, if you don't take it, are you worthy of my hard waiting?

"Are you sure you won't help me?"

"It's not to be killed, the land problem is unsolvable, Taizu, isn't Taizong wise and martial? Push it further, Tang Taizong is respected as the first emperor of the ages, how about it, it's not that it is not in the five doors and seven surnames, and the population has been drastically reduced during the period of war and the founding of the country, and now the population is tens of millions, and the nobles of the family have accumulated for hundreds of years, and you still want to touch the stone with eggs. ”

Lu Zifei said: "Who said that eggs touch stones, people once said that all reactionaries are paper tigers, and all things are born to restrain each other, I don't believe that there is any dead knot in this world, and it is just that our method is wrong if it is not solved." ”

Zeng Gongliang laughed angrily at these words, and he asked, "You told me what the great man said, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

"You don't think the great man said it, but a great giant said it."

Zeng Gongliang said: "Then tell me what you can do to change this situation, young people don't think you are smart, I have seen many teenagers who are more demonic than you." ”

Lu Zifei said: "Inventory, measuring land is indispensable, my idea is to start with land taxes, as long as the output of land produces too small benefits, I think many people will reconsider the actual value of land." ”

Zeng Gongliang sighed: "Speaking of which, you still have to offend people, someone has also mentioned the method you said before, but in the end it died, now the emperor is the fourth generation of the Great Song Dynasty, do you know how much land the four generations of emperors have given out?" Tens of millions of acres, this is not counting the royal family, if you want to break this rule, you must first collect the emperor's tax. ”

Lu Zifei said firmly: "I just want the emperor to pay taxes, and no one in the Great Song Dynasty can be an exception." ”

"This baby is crazy, crazy mess, I don't want to talk to you, besides, I guess I'm crazy with you."

Lu Zifei said: "You are a wise man, what I said is not crazy, you can naturally tell that the king of the Great Song Dynasty is generous and despises the generals, and no strong army can fight to the death, and the prosperous appearance is just fat in the eyes of foreign races." ”

Zeng Gongliang said: "Boy, it's not that I look down on you, in what capacity do you want to do this now, Gongsheng?" Hou Ye? Your relationship with the emperor is private, you know? If you want to release your passion, you can only wait for yourself to reach a certain position, and some things can be done if you don't want to. ”

This basin of cold water woke up Lu Zifei completely, thinking about it is indeed very beautiful, what to take to achieve it, his only flaw is that he is young and has no decisive right, do he really have to wait for twenty years, he was forty years old at that time, and he was in the prime of life, but who can know what the world will become after twenty years.

Will the Wanyan tribe in the Northeast give themselves time? Will there be any changes in his arrival in Western Xia and Liao, and at this time he will suffer from gains and losses again.

Lu Zifei left, he walked a lot alone, saw the rich and poor on the streets of Luoyang, and further he saw many people spending money in heaven and earth, this is the Great Song Dynasty in reality, how many years can such prosperity last.
