Chapter 631: The Yellow Earth in the Northwest
"Master Hou, the lower officials finally waited for you to come, if you don't come again, I'm afraid I won't be able to live." Wang Anshi greeted Lu Zifei with a smile on his face.
"Lord Wang, don't call me Lord, I really can't stand the word Adult, please spare me, let me have a peaceful birthday in two days, do you want to find me something to do when you see that I'm fine."
Wang Anshi smiled: "The lower officials don't want to either!" But without you, Lord Hou, the lower officials would have to leave their lives here, and now my life is in your hands, Master Hou? With a little bit of effort on your little hands, the lower officials will go to see the Buddha. ”
"Where's the thing? Give me. Lu Zifei casually flipped a few pages and lost interest, similar to what he thought, nothing more than corruption, concealment, and forcible robbery, I really don't understand how to plant this kind of land, it is better to go to sea for the income.
"So be it! Your goal has been achieved, go home and wait, see that the emperor and the court are going to send you to that corner, this time you are really famous, don't take such risks in the future, you are still very capitalized when you are young. ”
Can Wang Anshi not be afraid? Net worth and life are tied to one, "The lesson of Hou Ye is that the court will not give this opportunity to Xia Guan in the future, and I hope that there will be opportunities to work with Hou Ye in the future." ”
Lu Zifei thinks it is normal for Wang Anshi to emerge when he was young, but such recklessness and his arrival may cause the future prime minister to die early.
"There are a lot of people who have offended this time, and the impression of the scholar class on you is also very bad, don't think too stupid about those people in the court, in my opinion, at least those big people have guessed your mind, I have to admit that you have done better than me, and you are more courageous."
"I can't stand such praise from the Hou Ye, Xia Guan should be the ignorant and fearless that people often say! What Hou Ye does, the lower officials are out of reach, and the lower officials can't do the big things, so they can only work these small things. ”
Lu Zifei pointed to the imperial mausoleum, and Wang Anshi also followed, "This matter is over, let's talk, you only consider that the emperor will have a sixty percent probability of supporting you." ”
Wang Anshi interjected and said: "Master Hou looks down on me, there are sixty percent, and when I was the highest, I felt that five achievements were already very good." ”
"Prove that you still have some self-knowledge, in the matter of land reform, any emperor will have a supportive attitude, of course, this strength is difficult to say, land is not fundamental, the imperial tomb is not fundamental, what is the fundamental reason, have you thought about it?"
Wang Anshi thought for a moment and said, "The emperor wants to test the reaction of the courtiers? It is also possible that he wants to test the attitude of the family. ”
Lu Zifei said: "If you can think of these two points, why don't you combine them?" In the end, it's still that sentence that is making trouble, and the emperor feels that he has the ability to overturn that sentence, do you understand? Although the land annexation of this dynasty is serious, it has not reached that unbearable level, you think about it, is it not so. ”
Lu Zifei's words brought Wang Anshi a full impact, "Master Hou, aren't you joking!" The royal family and scholars rule the world together, this is the rule set by Taizu, and the emperor still wants to overthrow the ancestral system. ”
"Think for yourself, tell you so much, because I feel that in the filthy officialdom, you are still a good official who asks for the people's life, and dormancy and precipitation do not necessarily mean failure."
Lu Zifei walked far away
Later, Wang Anshi bowed deeply, "Thank you for the grace of the Hou Ye."
Lu Zifei's words to him today have crossed the line a bit, and it is true that only Lu Zifei saved his dog's life in this situation, thank them for being okay, and just bow.
After sealing it with fire paint in public, Lu Zifei handed the account book to the little eunuch who came to deliver the decree, but the little eunuch was still a little suspicious and didn't want to take it.
"You just take it back and send it directly to the emperor, and someone will naturally do the rest, what are you afraid of."
To put it mildly, the little eunuch still reluctantly went back with the account book, as for how the emperor will use this account book, it has nothing to do with him, Wang Anshi can be said to have stepped on the wire to complete his task, and it is very beautiful, and the injured can only be the landowners of the Zhao family, even so, there are many people who hate Wang Anshi.
In this inventory, although Wang Anshi said that he did not completely plough all the land in Luoyang, he let him gnaw all the hardest bones, this is a signal, the imperial tomb can be checked, why can't other places be checked? This also laid the groundwork for the next national land survey.
The Lu family and the common people have not been affected in any way, and some of the people have also benefited from this, and the extra land can at least make the tax revenue shared by the people of Luoyang a little less, even if it is a copper plate, then they can be regarded as feeling the country's welfare policy.
Wang Anshi was asked by Zhao Zhen to keep it, otherwise the imperial court has a mission in Luoyang, why bother him with this, it's not that the emperor took a fancy to Wang Anshi's talent and his background.
The July day can really heat people to death, especially in the northwest, the sky is more than 40 degrees at noon, and people with poor physique can't hold on to the sun for a minute.
The shirtless Huzi said: "Little wolf, do you miss the beer and cold dishes at home." ”
"Brother Tiger, do you say that Wangmei quenches her thirst and solves the problem? It's too hot, isn't it? How did you spend your time here as a child? ”
Huzi laughed and said: "Then you are wrong, my home is at the foot of Qinling Mountain, and it is the best summer resort at this time, plus we have a lot of small rivers over there, and it is not so hot in summer." ”
The little wolf said: "From tonight onwards, we will rush at night and rest during the day, otherwise we will lose our lives before we arrive in Chang'an, what do you think, Brother Tiger." ”
"Then you have said so exaggerated, you Dali you don't also support it, the northwest is a little hot and dry, less rain, we will be there in two more days, when the time comes to find you a cave to live, warm in winter and cool in summer, absolutely comfortable."
In the northwest of July, the crops in the field are only sorghum and beans, although the sun is wilting, but it looks like the growth is not bad, the village is full of smoke, and there are bursts of fragrance, and it seems that it has become a little different from the appearance of Huzi's memory.
"Brother Tiger, when you get here, aren't you going to take me to your house to have a look?"
Huzi was a little embarrassed, he didn't want to go back to that prejudiced home, but can family affection really be parted with?
"The poorer the place, the more things are here, you know? My impression of home is blurred, the day I came out with Xiao Fei, I didn't want to go back, this time it wasn't Xiao Fei who asked me to come, I really don't want to go back to this place. ”
Little Wolf says:
"Brother Tiger, you at least know where the home is, I feel that the conditions are better now, and it is meaningless to care about those again, the father and mother are broken bones and tendons, the son is not ugly, and the dog is not poor."
Huzi said: "Then you can go with me!" It's good to see, and there is a result for good or bad. ”
Four people, four horses, they are very conspicuous when they go there, especially four very strong horses, close to Western Xia in the northwest, horses are rare in other places, they are very common in this place, but such beautiful war horses are also rare.
Many people came up and wanted to ask Huzi about them, but after seeing the knife on the horse and the eyes of the little wolf, they all retreated, and Chang'an, the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, gradually returned to its former prosperity after experiencing several war baptisms.
Fan Zhongyan poured a lot of effort into Shaanxi, and spent seven years in this land, and Lu Zifei's first pot of gold in his life was also earned here, and later he gave back a large number of materials to Shaanxi, creating such a vibrant land now.
There is no large transaction here, more barter, the little wolf is still interested in asking, when the common people saw the silver coin in his hand, in a not very standard Guanzhong dialect refused: "No money to give you change" did not read four tones, plus a very heavy nasal voice, it sounded quite interesting.
After eating a bowl of mutton steamed buns, the little wolf ended his Taobao journey, and they didn't stop much in Jingzhao Mansion, and came to Fengxiang Mansion the next day, because this is Huzi's hometown.
"The people who came back with Xiao Fei at the beginning, the most were Jingzhao Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion, Qinfeng Road, these three places, most people followed Xiao Fei to Luoyang and Beijing, only a few people stayed, and later after Xiao Fei went into business, some people followed him into business, this is your eldest brother's earliest team."
The little wolf said: "The eldest brother has established a family in the shortest time that no one can imagine, to say that Brother Tiger is unhappy, with a bunch of mud legs, only he can do it in the world." ”
"Yes! On the battlefield, that is, after a few days of training, you go to the battlefield, you think for yourself, he said that he can take us to survive, and he is still a scholar, at that time we had no master, so we thought about who to run with, and now you see the answer. ”
The two of them talked about the beginning of landing Zifei, and they both walked a long way, and the little wolf said: "How far is your home!" This looks like it's all in the mountains, okay? ”
"What kind of mountain is here, and then you can see what is called endless, mountain set of mountains, mountains and mountains, compared with the mountains of Luoyang, they can only be called small mounds."
Stepping on the familiar road, Huzi closed his eyes and was familiar with the taste, at this moment he felt that he was a little cruel, no matter what his parents did, but there was no place to be sorry for him, he fulfilled his responsibilities as parents, and he didn't seem to have fulfilled his obligations as a son.
In the quiet small village, outsiders suddenly came, and everyone was very curious, especially those uncles and aunts, looking at him and the little wolf pointing and pointing.
"You're the third child of the Li family!"
Huzi smiled: "Yes, Aunt Wu, your eyes are as good as they were back then!" ”
This question has aroused heated discussions, and many people have said that the third child of the Li family has made a lot of money outside, and he can't look down on it here, and he doesn't plan to come back.
