Chengdu, a thousand-year-old city and one of the top ten ancient capitals, is one of the most prosperous cities at this time except for Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

The people of Chengdu live a prosperous life, the pace is slow, and the happiness index is significantly higher.

At this time, there was no spicy hot pot in Sichuan, and there were no chili peppers, but the prototype of Sichuan cuisine had already originated, and the diet was obviously better than Kaifeng.

Ling Kun wandered in the lively street market, eating very distinctive snacks, accompanied by beautiful women, and from time to time he could hold hands, or kiss her while she was not paying attention, and there would be no big accidents.

Life is so happy that Ling Kun doesn't even want to go back.

"I now know that Liu Chan is really a fool." Ling Kun sighed.

"Why?" Zhao Mingyue asked suspiciously, because there is a saying at the moment that means that Liu Chan is not stupid, but just pretending to be stupid to save his life, and many literati and scholars agree with this statement.

Ling Kun smiled and said: "Shu is so good, he actually can't think about Shu, isn't he a fool?" ”

Zhao Mingyue sneered, glanced at him and said, "Shudi is so good, you won't be happy to think about Song, right?" ”

"Ugh." Ling Kun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "How is it possible, Chengdu is originally from the Great Song Dynasty, and no matter how good Chengdu is, there is no Zhao Mingyue." ”

"That's pretty much it." Zhao Mingyue couldn't hold back a smile and walked forward

Ling Kun had never been to Chengdu in his previous life, but he was very impressed by Chengdu, one because of Sichuan cuisine, and the other because of Zhao Lei's "Chengdu". Originally, he planned to travel to Sichuan and Tibet by car, but unfortunately he was struck by lightning.

"Hey, Mingyue, I'll sing you a song." Ling Kun took a few steps to catch up with Zhao Mingyue.

"You're not sick, are you, what songs are you singing on the street? Let people see you and think that you are singing. ”

"I'll just sing it to you." Ling Kun said.

"Okay, then you sing it, don't let people hear it, I'm ashamed." Zhao Mingyue squinted at him and said.

Ling Kun cleared his throat and began to sing "Chengdu":

It's not just last night's wine that brings tears to my eyes

It's not just your tenderness that keeps me clinging

How long do you have to go You hold my hand

(Singing here, he naturally grabbed Zhao Mingyue's hand.) ）

Take a walk with me on the streets of Chengdu

It doesn't stay until all the lights are out

You'll pull my sleeves, and I'll put my hands in my trouser pockets

Walk

At the end of Yulin Road, sit at the door of the tavern

……

Zhao Mingyue listened to Ling Kun's hoarse humming, and couldn't help but be fascinated, not even knowing that her hand had been captured by Ling Kun. Although the lyrics and melody are completely different from the current style, the beautiful melody and mood are completely the same.

"How can you sing Chengdu songs, you've been here before?" Zhao Mingyue asked.

"No, I created it for you." Ling Kun was not ashamed, Zhao Lei would not know anyway.

"Really?" Zhao Mingyue's cheeks were dizzy, her eyes were misty, obviously moved.

"Of course it's true." Ling Kun said, "Let's go, go to that tavern and sit down?" ”

"No, no." Zhao Mingyue's face changed instantly, glared at him and walked forward.

"Why not?" Ling Kun caught up and asked.

"There is a bold and ill-intentioned disciple beside me, who cannot drink alcohol, and must always be on guard." Zhao Mingyue didn't look back and said.

Ling Kun was speechless for a while, and he was speechless. Since sleeping in the old man's house all night, Ling Kun has always thought that he can hold Zhao Mingyue every day in the future, but after entering Chengdu, Zhao Mingyue asked for a guest room by himself and resolutely did not allow him to step into half a step. As a last resort, he could only borrow wine to help. Women don't get drunk, men don't have a chance.

In order to make Zhao Mingyue agree to drink, he also deliberately pirated a song "Chengdu". It's a pity that the mechanism is exhausted, but she still sees through it.

Zhao Mingyue, this girl, is too difficult to soak.

The tavern didn't go to the hotel, so I went to the hotel, and just when lunch time was coming, the two walked into a restaurant called "Jindu Building".

Ling Kun was not interested, sitting lazily by the window, and did not order.

Zhao Mingyue peeked at his expression and felt very funny, but she also felt more and more that this kid just had bad intentions and wanted to do bad things to her.

After ordering a few of the most distinctive dishes in the store, the two began to chat slowly while eating.

"Let's get down to business, I've been in Chengdu for two days, what do you think?" Zhao Mingyue asked.

"If you have an idea, Chengdu is a good place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people are rich, the government is harmonious, and it is simply an ideal society." Ling Kun said.

However, the better Ling Kun described it, the tighter Zhao Mingyue's brows wrinkled, and finally simply put down his chopsticks and sighed: "Hey, this thing is difficult to do." ”

"What's so hard to do?" Ling Kun asked, with Zhao Mingyue here, he never came

Too lazy to use your brain. Oh, that's not right, it should be said that Zhao Mingyue is here, and Ling Kun has put all his mind on her.

Zhao Mingyue glanced at him and said: "General Ling, are you a pig's brain, Shu rebels against the government and the people, how can you quell the rebellion?" With the help of the people, you can't even find the rebels when you enter Chengdu. Wang Jien seemed to have been very successful in quelling the rebellion before, but now it seems that it is only a symptom rather than a cure. ”

"Oh." Ling Kun suddenly realized: "You are right, Shu really has a way of buying the hearts of the people, they have capable people, and the governance of the country is no worse than Zhuge Liang." ”

"It's not difficult to govern the country, what I'm most puzzled about is that Shu doesn't collect taxes, where does their money come from?" Zhao Mingyue has been struggling with this matter.

The reason why Sichuan is against it is because her father Zhao Guangyi was too ruthless in collecting taxes from Sichuan. The reason why people's hearts are now oriented to Shu is because Shu does not collect taxes. In the final analysis, it is still Tang Taizong's words, the king is the boat, the people are the water, and the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat. Whoever can control the hearts of the people will be able to control Sichuan.

On the contrary, even if you are tough and suppress the rebellion, one day the rebellion will come back.

Zhao Mingyue understood this truth, and Ling Kun, who had been a thousand years later, naturally understood this truth, so the two fell silent at the same time.

Ling Kun, as the minister of the Qin Mission, the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Forbidden Army, and the envoy of Sichuan Xuanfu, must solve this problem.

And Zhao Mingyue, as Ling Kun's master, also had to face this problem.

Ling Kun lifted a set of duck legs and took a bite of it, and said, "Mingyue, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Mingyue slowly took a sip of soup, shook her head lightly and said, "I can't help it, but I think if you want to quell the rebellion, you must first find out the governance model of Shu, and the most important thing is to find out where their wealth is?" ”

Ling Kun nodded and said, "In this way, I also have some ideas, if we can blend into their Zhongshu Province, wouldn't we know if we take a look?" ”

"How can you enter the province of Zhongshu as a stranger? It's just whimsical. Zhao Mingyue said disdainfully.

"That's right." Ling Kun smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Then go into their prime minister's house." ”

Zhao Mingyue raised her eyelids and glanced at him, pursed her lips and smiled: "It's also a way, but how can you get in?" ”

"When the time comes, there will naturally be a way, eat first. By the way, do you want to add a jug of wine? ”

"Add you big-headed ......." Zhao Mingyue knocked her chopsticks on Ling Kun's forehead and scolded.
