Chapter Twenty-Seven: Yan Shu's Heart
If someone asks what life was like for the ancients? Zhao Zhen can answer truthfully: "Comfortable!" ”
The little fat man Cai Boyu's answer was: "No electronic products, no games, no scarf, nothing, only torture!" ”
However, Wang Yuyan and Zhao Miaoyuan are very interested in gossip, and the two of them even like to go to Daxiangguo Temple to inquire about gossip, because there is a Zen room specially prepared for everyone's ladies for women to rest, and there are naturally gossip where there are many women. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This fills their boredom of not having variety shows, and the fire of gossip is burning all day long.
Of course, they also learned a lot of useful information, such as Ding Wei likes calligraphy, Kou Zhun is extravagant, Wang Xianggong is terminally ill, and so on.
The weather is gradually getting colder, Zhao Zhen's writing has reached the level of entering the house, Lu Zongdao has changed from a blow to appreciation, and the block letters of the little fat man are also written in a good way.
Now everyone's homework has become an explanation of the Four Books and Five Classics and an analysis of the current affairs of the court.
When Zhao Zhen raised the issue of three redundant huge expenses, Wang Dan was silent, he didn't know how to explain to the prince, the three redundancies began in the Taizong period, redundant officials were produced because the imperial court needed to strengthen the civil official group, and the extra officials were issued according to Lu, and redundant soldiers were also helpless, and the best way for the victims to be incorporated into the box army was the best way, and the redundant fees were derived from the above two points.
Zhao Zhen thought of the three redundancies because Renzong was frugal in history, in order to save money, he felt distressed when he wanted to drink a bowl of mutton soup at night, so what was it like to be poor? !
Renzong is benevolent, but he can't be merciful to this extent, with the richest country in the world, but he can't even drink a bowl of mutton soup?
It's not good if the prince's question is not answered, and finally Wang Dan sighed: "The prince's words are straight to the point, and the three redundant expenses have overwhelmed the court!" ”
Zhao Zhen looked at him in surprise and shock, this is when the three redundant just started, and he was already out of breath?
Cai Boyu muttered in a low voice: "Although I don't understand politics, the reason why the Northern Song Dynasty appeared in the prosperous era of Renzong is probably because I want to fill the big hole of the three redundancies, right?" ”
Zhao Zhen had long been worried about the problem of the three redundancies, but he didn't expect Wang Dan's answer to be: "The three redundancies have all kinds of harm and no benefit, but they can't be moved, they are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and even border troubles!" ”
After his explanation, he learned that the three redundant beings had become one with the Great Song Dynasty, and they were involved in moving the whole body, and the interests of the family, the Xiang army, officials and other interest groups climbed into an intricately entanglement.
No wonder Fan Zhongyan's reform will fail, no wonder Wang Anshi's reform will be cool.
This is like a problem of an endless cycle, wrapped around the giant of Da Song like a shackle!
How can a giant who can't even move his legs and feet fight against a foreign enemy? What's more, this giant was born with a disability, Jin Ou is not all hemiplegic, and emphasizing literature and light martial arts means that one foot is long and one foot is short.
Looks like there's a lot more to do!
Wang Dan, an old fritter who has been in the court for many years, can't think of a reasonable solution, what should he do? Is it just watching this giant fall into the dust of history?
In the end, Wang Dan concluded: "This is a dead chess! Unless the finances of the imperial court are three times as high as they are now, and the three redundancies will no longer increase! But Lao Chen felt that the increase in the three redundancies was inevitable, and no one could stop natural disasters, and no one could move Wenchen, even the official family! ”
Wang Dan's cloudy eyes burst out with a strong essence, and even Cai Boyu, who was rough on the side, subconsciously shuddered, this old man's eyes were too terrifying.
At lunch, Yan Shu looked at Zhao Zhen with an ugly face and said, "The prince is still worried about the problem of three redundancies?" ”
Facing Yan Shu, who had grown into a little white face, Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "What do you think?" ”
"Wang Xianggong is right, the three redundancies can't be moved, but they can be ......"
"Xiaoshu, you wait a minute." Zhao Zhen interrupted him and got up and walked out.
Yan Shu looked at his back inexplicably, shrugged his shoulders helplessly and continued to eat, he is now completely accustomed to the prince's style, and has also learned the chic of later generations.
The little fat man doesn't care about the two of them at all, he starts making it with his head down, today's tamales are particularly delicious, and the two of them are fools to consider the emperor's problems, isn't it too early?
Zhao Zhen came back, holding a wooden bucket in his hand, and Cai Boyu laughed: "You don't want to talk to him about the theory of shortcomings!" I'll do this! ”
Showing off the knowledge of the future in front of Yan Shu is Cai Boyu's favorite thing to do, and he can only look for a pitiful sense of superiority here.
Coughing lightly to attract Yan Shu's attention, Cai Boyu picked up the small barrel and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Xiaoshu, please take care of this wooden barrel." After speaking, he snapped and kicked one of the sections with his foot.
Yan Shu looked at his neurotic behavior and said, "Why are you kicking a good barrel?" ”
Zizizi~ The little fat man made a strange sound and smacked his lips again and again: "You haven't seen the essence through the phenomenon, can you take a closer look at this wooden barrel and still use it?" ”
"Yes, yes, but there must be less water than before, and the broken planks must be replaced!"
"Bingo! That's right, the three redundancies are like the wooden planks in short supply, and the wooden barrel is the Great Song Dynasty, and the amount of water is not the longest plank, but the shortest! Zhao Zhen swallowed the pearl rice in his mouth and said with chopsticks.
The little fat man was depressed to death, and looked at Zhao Zhen with resentment: "Can't you let me finish pretending?!" ”
"Let's eat, did you teach Guo Cai's tamales? Next time I asked him to put less sugar, he was a little tired. ”
Yan Shu looked at Zhao Zhen and Cai Boyu, this barrel theory seems to be extremely simple, but it contains great truth! The two seem to have understood for a long time, are they really not comparable?
He is very uncomfortable now, not because of the barrel theory, but because of self-esteem, he always feels that Zhao Zhen is the biggest and smartest person, which is understandable, the prince is the prince of the country, of course, he is superior, but Cai Boyu, and even Wang Yuyan and the princess, who are women, are much smarter than themselves.
Although he wears the same furry pajamas as them and lives in a large hall called a villa, he can always feel an invisible ravine, deeply separating himself from them, like two worlds of people.
Yan Shu is not stupid, he is smart and sensitive, he can't read the pinyin notes of Zhao Zhen and others, but he knows that they are communicating through this strange text, and he can't understand English conversations, but he knows that they are talking about things that he doesn't want to let himself know!
Indeed, Zhao Zhen and the others ignored his feelings, after all, the four of them traveled from the later generations, this is a secret and a natural sense of superiority, this kind of pride in their bones makes them reluctant to let people into their group.
These are all subconscious, if Yan Shu doesn't say it, they will never think of it.
Zhao Zhen looked strangely at Yan Shu, who was tearing up while pulling rice, and asked, "Xiaoshu, what's wrong with you?" ”
After sucking his nose but choking on the rice in his mouth, Yan Shu suddenly shed tears from his nose and cried.
"I'll go! Who bullied you? Tell me, Lao Tzu beat him! "The righteous little fat man can't bear it on the spot, and he who wipes his shoulders and puts his back together is going to go out and beat people.
Looking at Cai Boyu with a chicken leg in his mouth, Yan Shu couldn't stop howling.
The most annoying thing is that it hurts others, and the person concerned doesn't know it!
