Xu Fu really didn't expect that after Zhong Changtong heard his words, not only did he not plan to release him, but even directly led people to deploy checkpoints throughout Liangzhou, arrest Hu Shang, and destroy the statue, and for Xu Fu who told him the news, Zhong Changtong was very respectful, and directly invited him to his own mansion, and Xu Fu became Zhong Changtong's accomplice invisibly.

This is something Xu Fu never thought of, inexplicably, he felt the malice of the people of Liangzhou towards him, speaking of which, in the entire Han Dynasty, the people of Liangzhou are the most reverent ghosts and gods, and people like Zhong Changtong were sent to Liangzhou to serve as the Taishou, Xu Fu really didn't know what Shang Shuling thought, of course, Zhong Changtong's talent is definitely top.

Zhangye is already the most prosperous area in the entire Liangzhou, surpassing the Liangzhou Governor's Office, and it is also the area with the most Hu merchants outside the Saiwai, if it is not for the reason of Taishou, maybe the number of household registrations here will be more, Zhong Changtong's strong anti-ghost god has made many people flee in panic, and the Hu people are not very afraid to come here, most of them have heard of Zhong Changtong's notoriety.

Xu Fu was forcibly taken back to the mansion by Zhong Changtong, but he went out to arrest Hu Shang, and after three full days, Zhong Changtong appeared in front of Xu Fu with a smile on his face, Xu Fu, who was reading and eating tea in the courtyard, hurriedly got up, and the two met, and then they sat down, Zhong Changtong said with a smile: "Thanks to Xu Jun, if it wasn't for Xu Jun's reminder, I almost let those liars go!" ”

"Zhongjun, this is?"

"Hahaha, I stopped all the statues that were shipped to Yanxu, and there were a lot of liars, Hu people's monks, and gods chattering, who were also executed by me according to the Han law...", Zhong Changtong said proudly, Xu Fu looked at him a little helplessly, and asked: "Zhongjun, the law of the Han Dynasty, it seems that there is no such one?" ”

"Of course there is, Xu Jun doesn't know the harm of these people, first of all, in terms of treatment, they reject the doctor, get some charms, or simply pray for those statues to cure the disease, hehe, after I arrived in Zhangye, I found a very strange thing...."

"What's the problem?"

"The household registration problem in Liangzhou, since my Renzong Xiaokang Emperor Zhongxing, the household registration of the whole country is constantly increasing, in a county like Luoyang, there are almost millions of people settled, but Liangzhou is very strange, the territory is not small, but the number of people has always been very scarce, if it is said that it was because of the war, then after Emperor Xiaokang, it is a peaceful and prosperous era, why Liangzhou's household registration has always been so scarce?"

Xu Fu was so smart that he had already understood what Zhong Changtong meant, but he didn't speak.

"It's these liars, they beat doctors, coax the people, in Liangzhou, there is no decent medical hall, there are liars everywhere, these thieves cheat money, not allow the people to receive treatment, can only drink water, worship the gods, all kinds of deception, seek money and kill people, because of this, countless people in Liangzhou die of disease every year!"

"Let's just say that Liangzhou Mu Mao Jue is also a stupid thing, after I arrived in Zhangye, I played with him several times, and he ignored it, hehehe, I simply arrested hundreds of liars in Zhangye County, stripped off their clothes, let them stand outside in the cold winter, let them contract diseases, and then gave them to drink Fu water, and let them kneel and worship the statue!"

"Hahaha...", Xu Fu couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and said, "Zhongjun is really a wonderful person." ”

"Xu Jun, don't think I'm cruel, these people have killed countless people, isn't this poisoning considered killing? They are innocent of death, and the gods they worship have not sheltered them, and all those who are sick have died. ”

Zhong Changjun's face gradually became solemn, and said: "In addition, there are also some alchemists, whose methods are extremely cruel, asking for live sacrifices, sacrificing living people, and even women and children as sacrifices, as well as demagoguery of the people, killing parents and children, saying that children born at the hour will definitely bring about the disaster of household destruction, all kinds of rumors, making the family ruined, and the crimes are simply unspeakable!" ”

Xu Fu also gradually frowned.

"And those so-called temples, hehe, occupy the cultivated land, do not work, and let the people make offerings... Damn, damn it, there is a temple dedicated to the champion Hou, and the people are needed to provide money and food every year, and the champion Hou has never asked the people for any money before his death, do they still need the people to provide for him after death? I demolished the temple of the champion Hou, and there were many stupid things in the Southern Army who said that they wanted to kill me, hehe, if the champion Hou came back to life, he would definitely slaughter those stupid things first! ”

Listening to Zhong Changtong's words, Xu Fu nodded and said, "I understand." ”

"Between heaven and earth, how can there be any gods, in this life, only people can rely on people...", Zhong Changtong said disdainfully, Xu Fu was shocked when he heard this, and was silent for a moment, Zhong Changtong said something again, and then remembered something, and said: "Hey, I've been busy these days, but I have delayed Xu Jun, Xu Jun is here to travel to Liangzhou?" I'll take you around! ”

Saying that, regardless of Xu Fu's excuse, Zhong Changtong pulled him out of the mansion.

Speaking of which, it is true that Xu Fu has not been able to take a good look here, just came to the gate of the city, he was pulled into a carriage by Zhong Changtong and locked up in the mansion for three days, this time, the two did not take the carriage, and walked in Zhangye on foot, looking at the surrounding situation, Zhong Changtong personally explained to Xu Fu, and Xu Fu was dumbfounded.

"You see, in this county, I use drainage facilities, don't look at the rainfall here, but ah, with the increase in the number of people, the county is particularly foul-smelling, so I found a group of skilled craftsmen, made these drainage facilities, in fact, it is very simple, anyway, it is to make the county look better, in addition, we have no curfew here..."

"I set up a night market here, Xu Jun doesn't know what a night market is? Hahaha, when it's a little late, I'll take you to visit one or two..."

The two walked for a while, listening to Zhong Changtong's introduction, Xu Fu was stunned again, he felt that something was wrong in his heart, looking around, he suddenly asked: "No, Zhong Jun, how can there be so many women in the hawkers here?" On the streets, you can see women selling goods everywhere, and the number of women on the streets is also very large.

"So what? Aren't all men and women human? I allowed it. ”

"If you want me to say, what happened to the female outbound trader? I think that women should also be admitted to this assessment..."

"Zhongjun!" , Xu Fu shouted, his eyes were full of horror, seeing that he had scared Xu Fu, Zhong Changtong grinned and said: "Xu Jun, listen to me, let go of the so-called ancestral system, and don't pay attention to the Zhou Zhi Etiquette Law, no matter what system it is, what concept it is, it will change with time, even if it is the system of the prince in the past, it is suitable for the time, and it may not be suitable for today." ”

"Always cling to the ancestral system and rest on your laurels."

"You see that I govern here, that is, I will never grasp any system, which is the best, I will use which, everything will change, there is no most suitable policy system, only more suitable...", Zhong Changtong said with a smile.

Xu Fu didn't say anything, he heard that this Zhongjun, Zhongjun's reputation in Liangzhou is not small, although it is notoriety, it is said that the whole person is very disrespectful to the noble gods, and also does not respect the evil criminals of the ancestors, but after meeting him, Xu Fu found out that in addition to disrespecting the ghosts and gods, Zhong Changtong does not even pay attention to all the systems and rituals, in his eyes, everything should change with the trend...

This is a madman who ignores the doctrine of destiny, ignores the etiquette, is extremely serious, and tries to reform everything!

Zhong Changtong ignored it, and took Xu Fu up to a building, Zhong Changtong introduced, this is a place where drinking, eating, and a series of entertainment activities are concentrated, although Xu Fu feels very uncomfortable, but he can't resist Zhong Changtong, he was pulled into the courtyard, frowning, looking at the surrounding Yingge Yan Dance, listening to the noise, Xu Fu frowned.

"Xu Jun, don't frown, the taxes paid to the temple here for a year can allow Jimin Mansion to feed 100,000 disaster victims...", Zhong Changtong smiled, and the two looked at the street, "Xu Jun, look, how prosperous Zhangye is, there are merchants everywhere, but the people are living better, and they can also take some money, go around the street, and take a look..."

"I have always been heavy on agriculture and suppressed business, of course, at that time, it was indeed necessary to do that, because farming is not good, it will lead to very serious results, the people take food as the sky, but ah, now it is different, the territory of the Han Dynasty is vast, after many years of tuntian, there are countless cultivated land, but also has a huge field outside the plug and overseas, Guishan has countless grains shipped to Xizhou every year..."

"It's time to make a change, we can no longer suppress the merchants, on the contrary, we should encourage business and promote its development, Dahan has the largest production site, the most labor, the most raw materials, and an extremely wide market, from rest to overseas... Over the years, how much wealth has Dahan accumulated through overseas? These riches can't rot in the big man..."

Xu Fu just sat quietly, without saying a word, listening to Zhong Changtong say some nonsense to himself, the more Zhong Changtong spoke, the more excited he became, and sometimes he simply danced with his hands, "Xu Jun, think about it, a huge empire, with the raw materials sent from all over the world, has produced countless chengping and sold them back at an expensive price... The whole world uses the Han to produce, and the Han controls the world..."

Xu Fu shook his head, alas, what a good young man, it's a pity.

Before you know it, it's getting dark.

Xu Fu looked at Zhong Changtong, who was still excited in front of him, "Zhong Jun, you tell me this?" For what? ”

"I want to be Shang Shuling, I need help, I want you to help me."

Xu Fu smiled lightly and looked at the extremely serious Zhong Changtong in front of him, "Why should I help you?" ”

"For the light." , Zhong Changtong said, looking at the street.

Xu Fu followed his gaze and also looked at the street, and suddenly, the street lit up one after another, the whole street lit up, and the voices of people gradually rose, as prosperous as in the daytime.
