"Now that you've planned to go to Yangzhou first and then to Hangzhou, what about after that? What are your plans? You can't just study these two places, can you? Lu Lao took a sip of tea soup and asked lightly.

Cao Yi picked up the tea soup sent by Yu Youwei just now, gently blew up the white foam on it, and then Shi Shiran took a sip, and said in Lu Lao's white eyes: "Well, maybe Hangzhou will go to Suzhou after that, right?" Isn't there a saying that there is Suzhou and Hangzhou under heaven, and Mingzhou also wants to go to Mingzhou, and then go to Yuzhou, Shu and Chengdu to see, after all, Shu Dao is difficult, Wuhou Temple and Du Fu Thatched Cottage are worth seeing. ”

Lu Lao knows that his disciple likes to use the brewing method of inferior tea when drinking tea, and he is not very keen on ordering tea, although most of the current literati scholars take ordering tea as an elegant thing, and they like to order tea when they gather elegantly, but Cao Yi even stays away from the literati poetry club, let alone ordering tea.

It's okay if you're not keen on ordering tea, even after others order tea, it means that there are more nutrients in the tea soup, the better the quality, the better the tea-making skills, and the freshness of the tea, the foaming soup flowers will be blown open and drunk, this is not a tyrannical thing, what is humiliating Sven, originally he also wanted to take the opportunity to preach Cao Yi, but when he heard Cao Yi say that he would go to Shu in the future, he thought about it in his heart, seemed to hesitate, and finally said: "Bring more guards when you go to Shu, pay attention to safety......

"Well, I will, Shudi will take advantage of the past few years, and it will be dangerous in the future." Cao Yi nodded and said thoughtfully.

Lu Lao sighed in his heart, listening to what Cao Yi said, he obviously had something in his words, but Cao Yi had never been out of Jiangning, did he really know something and mean something or did he coincidentally be blind?

"Cao Yi, how do you say that Shu Di will be dangerous in the future?" Lu Lao asked, and when he asked, he looked at Cao Yi with his eyes, wanting to see why Cao Yi said this.

Cao Yi looked at Lu Lao with a smile on his face, knowing that he had just said something wrong, so he had to explain: "My father participated in the battle to wipe out Hou Shu back then, Wang Quanbin once killed innocents in Shu, plundered the army, fished the people, and killed the soldiers and civilians, which caused the anger of the people in Shu, and single-handedly led to the anger of the whole division later, and the impression of our Dayan in Shu was not very good, and ......" Cao Yi said this, paused, and did not say any more.

"And what?" Lu Lao glanced at Cao Yi and said curiously.

"The next thing is not so easy to say...... I'm afraid that if I say it, Elder Lu will be angry. Cao Yi shook his head and shut up.

"Hehe, the dignified No. 1 talent in Jiangning, has always been crazy and straightforward, and Cao Zhaozheng, who expresses his heart directly, will not dare to say it because he is afraid?" Lu Lao smiled, and then said: "Today is in the courtyard of my house, and there are no outsiders present, you can talk about it." ”

Cao Yi smiled and said, "That's what you asked me to say, Old Lu, don't blame me when the time comes." ”

"I don't blame you, you can say it."

"As I said before, when our dynasty pacified Houshu, Wang Quanbin was not strict in governing the army, which led to the rebellion of Xing** and the resentment of the people of Shu, and after the pacification of Houshu, our dynasty continued to send troops to settle the Southern Tang Dynasty and conquer the north

Han, lasted for nearly 20 years and finally unified the world, ending the division of five generations, but in the past ten years, the people of Dayan have to deal with huge food and salary, and the taxes are particularly heavy, especially in Shu, the land is fertile, the products are rich, and the production of silk and linen, cloth, and tea are famous all over the country, so there are many people who have been exploited......

Cao Yi glanced at Lu Lao, and saw that the latter had no reaction, so he said: "Besides, in order to avoid the recurrence of the 'Chenqiao Mutiny, Yellow Robe' incident among the soldiers, the Taizu of our dynasty released the military power with a glass of wine, in order to appease those heroes who were forced to hand over the military power, implied acquiescence and even encouraged them to annex the good land and beautiful houses, coincidentally, since the five dynasties of Shudi, the situation of land annexation has been very serious, and our dynasty has pursued the policy of 'not suppressing annexation', so the situation of land annexation in Shu has reached an outrageous point. ”

"By the time of today's official family, most places in the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty have long been the rich have a land of hope, and the poor have no place to stand, the polarization of the gap between the rich and the poor in the entire Shu is too serious, and the Shu land has not been affected by the peasant uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty, resulting in the exploitation of the people by the rulers of the former Shu and the latter Shu is almost like killing chickens and eggs, after the destruction of the Hou Shu Dynasty, so far the people have not been reduced from taxes, but intensified, as far as I know, the basic harsh tax policy of the previous dynasties to exploit the people has been in Shu, In order to survive, the poor people there sell their children, daughters, and wives abound, and even have high-interest loans......"

Cao Yi shook his head, paused, and continued, "And the officials at all levels that I have sent to Shu in the past few years, from the big officials of the feudal territory to the small sesame petty officials, are all unscrupulously exploiting the people of Shu at all levels, squeezing the people's fat and people's cream, and the officials and Haoqiang live a luxurious and erosive life, and the lives of the poor people have become even poorer. In addition, our dynasty also set up a 'Bo comprador office' in Chengdu, monopolizing the trading of silk, silk, salt, tea, and so on, and officials and businessmen colluded with each other to wantonly manipulate prices in order to seek huge profits, resulting in the bankruptcy of many small merchants selling cloth and silk. The government also implemented the tea system, which not only suffered from the tea farmers, but also forced many families who made a living from selling tea to a desperate situation......"

Cao Yi stood quietly, looked in the direction of southwest Shudi, his mood was a little low, and said in a deep voice: "Now there are many poor people who are hungry and unclothed in Shu, and Shaoling Gong's 'Zhumen wine and meat, stinky roads with frozen bones' are only sparse and ordinary in Shudi, and such a place where people are struggling to survive and starving everywhere, there is only one natural disaster left from the next Shu version of the 'Huangchao Uprising'...... Or**! ”

In the process of Cao Yi's speech, Lu Lao never expressed any opinions, just sat and listened attentively, until Cao Yi talked about the Shu uprising, only then did Huo Ran get up and look at Cao Yi with a serious face. "If it's so unfounded, you can't tell others about it in the future, even Yang Gong can't ......"

Cao Yi stretched, glanced at Lu Lao, and said with a smile: "I said it a long time ago, it was Lu Lao you asked me to say it, you can't blame me, but I won't be stupid enough to say these words everywhere, don't worry, Lu Lao, out of this courtyard, I won't tell anyone what happened just now." ”

Lu Lao nodded, and then asked in a low voice, "What you just said is really ...... So sure? ”

Cao Yi smiled heartily and said to Lu Lao: "Lu Lao, you should have your information channel, and your understanding of Shudi's information must be above me, even Mao like me who only knows a little bit about it."

The first boy can see it, presumably Lu Lao should have already made such a judgment, but you haven't faced it directly."

"If the rebellion and uprising really break out in Shu again, I'm afraid that the Shu people really want the ten to go to five or six......," Lu Lao couldn't bear to say,

Cao Yi nodded and said: "From ancient times to the present, since the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of the Qin Dynasty, to the Huangchao uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty, there have been thousands of peasant uprisings of all sizes in the Central Plains. ”

"The officials forced the people to rebel, begging to live as a ...... army" Lu Lao repeated these eight words, his expression was sad, and his heart was full of thoughts, but in the end he could only shake his head, sighed, and said to Cao Yi: "I'll go and let someone get the wine, and you will accompany me to drink two more today." ”

Cao Yi knew Lu Lao's current mood, and nodded in agreement.

Lu Lao sat quietly at this time, feeling bitter in his heart, if he was still in that position, even if he was willing not to be that official, he would have to take care of that matter, but it was a pity......

"Cao Yi, if you are in charge of Shudi, how will you improve the situation in Shudi?" After Lu Lao and Cao Yi drank a glass of wine, they asked.

"If there is a serious illness that requires serious medicine and medicine, from top to bottom, large and small official positions, all thoroughly investigated, if there is a corrupt village and bends the law, favoritism and malpractice, it will be severely fined in public, and the Bo comprador will be revoked, the tax will be reduced, the poor will be issued with zero or low-interest loans, the state-owned land will be sold to them for cultivation, and when the harvest is better, the principal will be recovered, production will be encouraged, and agriculture will be developed, but the quality of the agricultural harvest depends entirely on the sky, so commercial development is also essential." Cao Yi thought about it and said.

"Some of what you said is immediate, but if you want to farm, plant this year, and harvest next year, what will their original poor people eat in this year?" Lu Lao continued to ask.

Cao Yi glanced at Lu Lao and knew that Lu Lao was deliberately taking the school exam, anyway, now he is just talking casually, one is a student with no reputation, and the other is just a supervisor of the school, and there are no other official positions, it doesn't matter if he talks about it casually, and it is just his own faction, as for whether it can be implemented or not, that is another matter.

"There are actually several ways to do this, of course, I just talk about it casually, I don't know if it can be done, after all, I'm just a yellow-haired child who has never been out of Jiangning, has no fame, and is only sixteen years old." Cao Yi belittled his posture before he opened his mouth to speak, so that even if he made a mistake, it would not hurt to wait. After all, it was said before that there would be a high probability of an uprising in Shudi, after all, there is the memory of later generations, so he can say it so clearly, and Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun's uprising have been explained in detail in history textbooks, and he naturally knows the cause, process and result, so he can be so sure.

As for the current Lu Lao asked him to talk about the solution, he still has some ideas and ideas to solve it in the future and modern times, so it is not known whether it is suitable for the era of the Great Yan Dynasty, in order to avoid the occurrence of events that he does not know, but are common sense mistakes in this era, so he laughed at himself before answering the question, so that he laughed at it if he really made a mistake.
