After the departure of the four sedan chairs, Lu Chengyu asked the inspector Guo Weifu: "The national colleagues are supervising the inspection of water use, which village should use the water today?" ”

"Cypress Grove!" Guo Weifu said disdainfully: "This matter has already been arranged by the officials!" 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th days for cypress forests, and 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th days for oak forests; Today is the first day of the new year, and naturally the cypress forest should be water! ”

"That's right! Lu Chengyu said solemnly: "Today is the water of the cypress forest, but you are the court official who monitors the water use; If you don't patrol the pond, where did you go? ”

"The villain beat a tooth sacrifice in Jixian Temple!" The country lied and said without stamp duty: "Hurried over after the tooth sacrifice, the matter has been made bigger!" ”

Lu Chengyu's face was not red when he saw that Guo was making up stories for Fu, and he snorted coldly: "From now on, you will be honest and patrol the canal, if there is another fight; Just ask you! ”

The country is baffled, thinking that your hand is too long in Liangzhou, this is the territory of Huayang County, Chengdu Prefecture, Yizhou; What are you talking about......

Without waiting for the country to finish muttering in his heart, he saw Lu Chengyu raise his arm and said: "Xia Guan is worried in the oak forest this year, but the Chengdu prefect is in the next year; If something happens again in Huayang County, then let the Chengdu prefect find you directly! ”

When Guo Weifu heard that the prefect of Chengdu and Lu Chengyu were brothers, he suddenly became dumbfounded; He bowed and smiled happily: "The villain resolutely carries out Judge Lu's order!" By all means! ”

Lu Chengyu no longer paid attention to the blessing of the country, looked at Zhou Xiaozheng and the villagers in the cypress forest and said: "Since today is the water day of the cypress forest, then everyone should hurry up and start irrigating the fields!" ”

Zhou Xiaozheng listened to Lu Chengyu say this, looked at the villagers behind him and said, "Everyone disperse immediately, seize the time to irrigate!" ”

After Zhou Xiaozheng finished saying this, he glanced at Liu Er and said, "Liu Er, your daughter Liu Min invited Lu Tong to settle a fight; This trip should let you pour the water first, everyone said no! ”

The villagers in the cypress forest agreed in unison, and Liu Er was flattered and walked up to Liu Min with a smile: "Sister, the villagers are gracious to us; Then let's start irrigating! ”

Liu Min glared at Liu Eryi fiercely, and said angrily: "Didn't you see that Grandpa Huo and Uncle Buffalo are still unconscious?" Toshiko wants to accompany them, you go to irrigate! ”

Liu Er seemed to wake up when he heard Liu Min say this; looked at Liu Min and said, "That's good!" The father and son of the Huo family are the benefactors of our family, and the younger sister should accompany them! ”

Liu Er at least showed that he had not broken his conscience, and after saying this, he quickly rushed to the head of the canal to change the water.

Zhou Xiaozheng saw that Liu Er had gone, so he said to Yang Ziming: "Zimin, Hulin, we have to go to the oak forest with Liu Min to rescue Brother Huo and the buffalo ......."

Liu Min and Lu Chengyu came to the oak forest and found that this was a big village; Several times larger than a cypress forest.

Not to mention the construction of the oak forest village, the population alone is more than 6,000, while the cypress forest has only more than 1,000 people; The two villages are not on the same level at all.

The oak grove is built like a castle, surrounded by high walls; The walls are surrounded by strong turrets, which are clear at a glance to defend against foreign invasions.

Liu Min walked into the deep city gate building cave under the leadership of Lu Chengyu, showing that there were not only schools in front of him, but also welfare institutions such as nursing homes, Anjifang, and Leaky Zeyuan.

Liu Min was shocked, he had read the history of the Song Dynasty when he was a medical doctor in the 21st century; I don't believe in the "decoration" record in it.

Because no matter how good the Song Dynasty is, it is still a feudal centralized society, and the class composition is very complex; There are also slaves and slaves who are pampered and pampered by high salaries.

Especially girls, those from poor families can only work as slaves and maids in rich homes; was even sold to a brothel in a green house, and life is better than death.

But as soon as he arrived in the oak forest, Liu Min saw with his own eyes that it was the only way recorded in the history books: the Song Dynasty was a rich country, and the national economy accounted for 80% of the century's economy; The level of science and technology is far ahead of all countries in the world, and three of the four major inventions of ancient times occurred in the Song Dynasty; The common people enjoy unprecedented state welfare.

Liu Min had to admit the greatness of Song Taizu, the emperor who was born in a yellow robe and was born in the army.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was born in a declining family, experienced the ups and downs of life in his early years, and knew the hardships of the people at the bottom of society very well; He was determined to improve this society with his own efforts.

Later, he finally became the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty with the "yellow robe", but after he became rich, he did not forget his true colors and remained simple and self-disciplined; The daily life is very simple, the clothes and diet are very simple.

Its clothes are only made of silk brocade when they ascended to the palace, and most of the others are silk cloth; Some of them are of the same quality as the cloth of ordinary petty officials, and they are always washed and worn, and they are rarely replaced with new ones after they are worn and washed; This is very rare among the emperors of the past dynasties.

Zhao Kuangyin's inner palace is the most simple in all dynasties, with only more than 50 eunuchs; There are only more than 200 palace maids.

Even so, Zhao Kuangyin still thought it was too much, and dismissed more than 50 people who voluntarily left the palace.

However, Zhao Kuangyin, who was extremely frugal with himself and his relatives, was generous in safeguarding national interests, especially maintaining stability.

After ascending the throne, he tried to avoid bloodshed in everything and opposed the use of force to solve problems.

Zhao Kuangyin believes that the lives of soldiers and civilians are the most precious, and he will never use force if money can solve it; In this regard, Zhao Kuangyin is one of the most generous emperors in history.

For the sake of domestic stability, he practiced civilianism; It inhibits the expansion of the general's power.

In the face of the threat of a strong enemy on the border, he did not waste money and money to continue to fight; Instead, they desperately amassed national wealth to buy land with money, so as to avoid the two sides from fighting each other.

Zhao Kuangyin once wanted to use the means of "reserve price for redemption" to buy back the sixteen states of Yanyun from the Khitan.

For the sake of the stability of the society, Song Taizu was also very generous. For example, when a glass of wine is released, he exchanges money for the military power of the generals.

"Accumulate more gold and silver, and be generous for entertainment. so that there will be no poverty among the children and grandchildren," Zhao Kuangyin said to his former colleagues.

"Choose a good field and a good market, and establish a permanent and immovable business for your descendants." Zhao Kuangyin said this to the generals.

This was the condition of his promise to those in charge of the army, and finally the generals who held the military power were disarmed and returned to the field, and lived the rest of their lives in peace.

This is many times more clever than the practice of other dynasties wantonly killing the founding heroes for the sake of peace.

Anbang governs the country, naturally inseparable from capable courtiers; In order to win the loyalty of the ministers and consolidate the imperial power, the money rewarded by Song Taizu was also quite amazing.

For example, when Fan Zhen was sick, Song Taizu personally gave 200 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, 2,000 horses of silk, and 2 million in money.

The founding father Zhao Pu was sick, and Zhao Kuangyin gave 5,000 taels of silver and 5,000 horses of silk.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, many years of warlord secession and ethnic division have caused incomparable social chaos; Almost all political and economic conditions are the worst.

The Great Song Dynasty, which ended the division of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, established a fairly stable regime in just over a decade; This cannot but be attributed to the selflessness of Zhao Kuangyin, the founder of the Great Song Dynasty, and his unique statecraft.

The Song Dynasty was one of the most prosperous eras in Chinese history in terms of economy, culture and education, with the revival of Confucianism and the pervasive atmosphere of respecting teachers and valuing education. The development of science and technology has also advanced by leaps and bounds, and politics is more enlightened and honest, and there are no serious eunuch chaos and local divisions in the Song Dynasty; The number and scale of mutinies and civil unrest are also relatively low in Chinese history......
