Qingya Daoist ignored Mu Qiuhuang's exaggerated expression, and after taking a sip of wine, he slowly told Mu Qiuhuang what he had seen and heard along the way, as well as what he had done.

After listening to Qingya Daoren's speech, Mu Qiuhuang finally figured out how he spent the 10,000 taels. In fact, things are very simple, a thousand words boil down to two words, that is, "do good". It turned out that the Qingya Dao people would be kind to anyone who met people who were ragged and hungry along the way, and the 10,000 taels of silver tickets that Mu Qiuhuang gave him at the foot of Wudang Mountain were so completely gone. At first, he still wanted to keep enough money for himself to eat and live in the hotel, but as he saw more and more poor people, he couldn't care about his own food and housing, and used the living expenses he originally retained to help others, so that at first he could eat hot pot, wine and meat to live in the inn, but later he couldn't afford to live in the inn, and lived a life where the sky covered the ground as a bed, and he also used wild fruits and game to satisfy his hunger on food.

"Donkey raiser, you ......" Mu Qiuhuang wanted to blame him for being so "stupid", but seeing his tired eyes, Mu Qiuhuang's words of blame could no longer be spoken, so he had to raise the wine jar and drink with him.

"Then why don't you write to me and ask me for money again? Didn't I talk to you in the first place? If you don't have enough money, just look for me, but are you still worried that I will stop you from doing good deeds? Mu Qiuhuang was a little puzzled.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World laughed." Qingya Daoren explained: "Xiaodao knows that His Royal Highness the Prince is also a good person, if Xiaodao asks for it, His Royal Highness the Prince will be generous, but how can Xiaodao go to His Royal Highness Kang Shizi for his own selfishness." Besides, Xiaodao is by no means as fearless as His Royal Highness the Prince imagined, and the number of displaced people he has seen along the way is far more than His Royal Highness the Prince imagined, if he wants to save them all, he is afraid that His Royal Highness the Prince will be powerless even if he scatters the wealth of the Beiyu family. Therefore, Xiaodao can only do his part to do his part...... Don't seek to be satisfied, but to be worthy of your heart. ”

"Displaced people?" Mu Qiuhuang was taken aback, he was just a Qingya Dao person with a kind heart and couldn't see the poor suffering, but he never thought that these were not ordinary poor people, but homeless people?

Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but wonder: "Donkey raiser, you explain things clearly, are you sure those people are homeless?" As far as I know, there haven't been any major wars in the world lately! Where did these outcasts come from? ”

Seeing Mu Qiuhuang's serious expression, Qingya Daoist hurriedly recalled what he had seen and heard, and after a while, Qingya Daoist said with a serious face: "Xiaodao is sure that they are indeed all homeless, according to Xiaodao's chat with them, this group of people was originally from Yandi......"

"Yandi?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but start thinking about it when she heard this. The "Yan Land" in the mouth of Qingya Dao refers to the territory of the former Dong Che Hou, but with the failure of the Dong Che Hou rebellion in the third year of Long Qian, after being stripped of the title, the management authority of Yan Land was withdrawn to the imperial court, and it was directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. However, despite that, most of the original territory of Yan Land became the territory of the Xiahou family, while other parts, such as part of the land bordering Beiyu and Nanzhao, were encroached upon by these two families, as did the land bordering other princes. The main force of the Xiahou family was in Kyoto, and they knew that the rest of the princes would not allow a new "Dongchehou" to appear, so they acquiesced to the status quo. In other words, the original Yandi has long since become fragmented, and it is no longer in line with the original integrity.

"That's not right!" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be puzzled: "If the form is like today, what the princes compare is nothing more than the land of personnel, although the Marquis of Dongche was guilty and was punished by the nine clans, but isn't the Yan land directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court?" ”

Looking at the puzzled look of the Qingya Daoist, Mu Qiuhuang thought for a while and said: "I won't hide it from you, although my family also occupies part of the Yan land, but, in order to subdue the hearts of these original Yan people, my father's policy for some of the Yan people under my Beiyu jurisdiction is 'no tax for ten years, no smoking for twenty years', this kind of treatment is even more lenient than the original people of our Beiyu land, my Beiyu people are still living and working in peace and contentment, not to mention, these people of Yan land?" Although it has changed the world, what impact does this have on the people at the bottom? Even better than before...... Why, then, would they abandon their homeland and become homeless? ”

Qingya Daoist thought seriously for a long time, and muttered to himself: "This path is not very clear, but listening to them, it seems that it is because of various reasons such as conscription and harsh taxes......

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Qingya Daoist carefully, and after making sure that he was not telling a lie, the doubts in his heart became more and more serious. What he just said to the people of Qingya Dao was only superficial, and the reason why Beiyu treated the people of Yandi better than the people of Beiyu was actually for a reason. At the beginning, when the Marquis of Dongche rebelled, he used all the strength of his fiefdom. After a failure, Yandi's overall economy and people's livelihood have regressed by decades. The reason why he will allow him to 'not pay taxes for ten years and not draw for twenty years' is not that Mu Qingen really wants to completely buy people's hearts, in fact, it is because according to his overall understanding of Yandi at the beginning. Because, in the big war that year, Yandi almost lost all the young and strong men. In this era, young and strong men are the primary productive forces, due to the fault line of young and strong men, the people of Yandi have no money to pay taxes within ten years, they need so long to recover, and the reason why they do not draw Ding for 20 years is also here, within 20 years, the people of Yandi can not meet the conscription standard of 'one out of ten'.

However, this cannot be said to be Mu Qingen's cruelty. For people like them, their every move can no longer be judged by "good" and "evil" in the eyes of the world. Let's ask, if he really treats the people of Yandi preferentially, it is better than the original people of Beiyu. What will these original people in Beiyu think in their hearts? Let's be more realistic, these original people in Beiyu are the real reliance of Mu Qingen...... He Mu Qingen is the Marquis of Beiyu instead of the Marquis of Dongche, how can he really do that kind of thing that hurts the hearts of the people of Beiyu? If that's the case? It's not that he loses this, but he digs his own grave.

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Qingya Daoren and recalled the reason for the exile just mentioned, but after a while, Mu Qiuhuang still didn't understand. There is still some suspicion about the displaced people caused by the words "conscription and harsh taxes", which is not to say that they are doubting the authenticity of the words of the Qingya Daoists, but they are doubting the authenticity of this reason. It's very simple, as a prince, Mu Qiuhuang is sure that the wisdom of the other people is not as good as his father Mu Qingen, but it is not far behind. He clearly remembers that when his father proposed the policy of "no tax for ten years and no tax for twenty years", he once asked whether this would be too preferential for the people of Yandi? His father's answer to him at the time was that unless he didn't really intend to bring these Yandi people under their banner, this policy had to be implemented, and if there was no such preferential treatment, it would be forcing this group of people to die. As the saying goes: "The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers are not loyal to death", that is because these courtiers eat the king's lu, the emperor raises them on weekdays, and they need to show loyalty at critical moments...... But even if this is the case, what about the courtiers who want to rebel? And these ordinary people are different, it's not the emperor who is raising them, but they are raising these high-ranking emperor ministers, what's more, all they want is three meals a day, they just want to live. Can... What if the people in power can't even give these things, completely cut off the lives of these ordinary people, and force them to die? The power they have gathered is bound to be incomparably great. Those in power are like "boats", and ordinary people are the "water" that carries the boat. Although the "boat" is high on weekdays, don't forget that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat.

……

"That's it!" Mu Qiuhuang shook his head and threw all these thoughts out of his mind, as long as he was sure that these homeless people did not become homeless because of the Beiyu Marquis Mansion, it was enough. For example, today's general trend is like this, although it seems to be calm, in fact, the chaos is in an instant. From his point of view, the more mediocre the others in power are doing, the better...... If, in the future, the people's hearts are on the side of his Beiyu Marquis Mansion? Then, even if the Beiyu Marquis Mansion is not big, it is difficult to come out of the world.

"Come, donkey keeper, do this altar. Today, you and I will meet again after a long absence, so let's not talk about these unhappy things first, and then talk about getting drunk first. Mu Qiuhuang raised the wine jar.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Qingya Daoist also raised the wine jar and touched Mu Qiuhuang, and the two of them drank it with a bang.

"By the way, Xiaodao has another gift for His Royal Highness." Qingya Daoist put down the wine jar and said suddenly.

"You brought me a gift?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, although with his status, there was no lack of rare treasures. However, the gifts given by the Qingya Dao people are a different matter. It doesn't matter whether it is valuable or not, what matters is the heart of a friend.

"What kind of gift?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't wait to ask.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World waited for a while, Xiaodao went to fetch it in, he was so excited to meet His Royal Highness the Prince just now that he forgot that there was such a gift." Qingya Daoist spoke.

"Haha...... Donkey keepers, your words are worth a thousand gifts. Mu Qiuhuang said with a smile.

Qingya Daoren's heart warmed when he heard this, and he turned around and walked out.

After a while, I saw Qingya Daoist walking in with a cloth package and putting it in front of Mu Qiuhuang.

"What is this?" Mu Qiuhuang asked curiously and removed the outer wrap.

The shroud was opened, and he saw the golden light shining in his eyes, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be surprised: "Donkey raiser, when did you get rich?" Aren't you all poor and have no money to eat? If you sell this sword, it will be worth a few thousand taels to say the least? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't know that this is what Xiaodao won from the "Remnant Sword". For his own selfish desires, Xiaodao forced him to compete with Xiaodao and snatch his sword, which was already wrong, so how could he sell it? Qingya Daoist explained to Mu Qiuhuang while continuing to cook the ingredients.

Mu Qiuhuang pulled out the sword when he heard this, and after looking at it, he said, "Why is the sword broken?" I see. By the way, you just said that you won the remnant sword that ranked second in the world among the top ten masters? Are you so good now? ”
