"Unsustainable?" Huang Song raised his head in surprise (read the full text of the Legend of the Time and Space Traveler).

Huang Yuandu leaned back into the chair to make himself more comfortable, and then spoke, "You have taken over the Dark Eagle for a short time, and you are only focusing on a few actions. I don't have a problem with letting you handle the fees, there are some things that you don't know. ”

"The Jiangnan family supports me and supports Dark Eagle, but it's not gratuitous. I have given them many benefits over the years. The rights to the salt mines of Daqi were handed over and let them operate. When you promote officials, you should also favor them. To tell the truth, don't look at me as the prime minister, the scenery is infinite, but sometimes I feel like a puppet, kidnapped by these people, and become a tool for them to make profits. Speaking of these, Huang Yuandu was both angry and helpless.

Huang Song looked very shocked, he also knew something about his father's relationship with major families, but he didn't expect his father to say it so bluntly and thoroughly.

"The loss of wealth and power is not a good thing for Daqi. In the past few years, everyone's hand has stretched out longer and longer, from the initial salt mine, to the current grain, silk, money, wine, tea, etc., these big families have a growing appetite, not only thinking about controlling the lifeblood of Daqi, but also thinking that I can reduce their taxes and use their people. I had little room for resistance, so I could only appoint some officials according to their requirements and formulate corresponding national policies. Huang Yuandu looked very lonely, "I'm not reconciled, in order to suppress these big families, although I have promoted many officials, I have also used the news of the dark eagle to punish many low-level corrupt officials." Most of these corrupt officials are from big clans, or they are cultivated by big clans. However, these low-level corrupt officials are only limited to county orders, and the highest is only a governor, and I dare not act rashly against the officials who are appointed by the envoys and even the center of the imperial court. Why is that? It's not to avoid a complete confrontation with these guys! Fortunately, there were no major stumbles along the way. But this is not a long-term solution after all! ”

For some of his father's methods, Huang Song was like seeing flowers in a fog, but now he understands it. In the first two years of Xiao Ying's ascension to the throne, his father took advantage of the danger of the prime minister to clean up the center and straighten out the place, causing some political enemies to go into the wilderness. After that, there was no big move, and the deposed were only some minor officials such as county lords. The low-level officials who dealt with these corruption also made my father gain some fame, and he was even praised by the government and the opposition as a generation of bright ministers. In fact, my father was using his own means to compete with the great families.

As for which the major families are, Huang Song also secretly calculated in his heart (the latest chapter of the Guardian's Journey).

The Huang family was born, but he was just an ordinary rich family in the countryside, and Huang Yuandu could barely afford to read. It's just that after exploring Hualang in high school, he married the daughter of the big family Bao family. The Bao family is also one of the big families, owning a radius of hundreds of miles of land on Jiangnan Road, and also operating a tea industry. More than half of the tea industry north of the Yangtze River is controlled by the Bao family.

Other big families should include the Ji family represented by the Hubu Shangshu Ji Yong, and the Xu family represented by the Hubu Shilang Xu Yinshun. Zhu Zhihua, the superintendent of the imperial history, is the son-in-law of the Dong family, and the representative is naturally the Dong family. Shandong Road pacified the Hou family represented by Hou Wenxian, and the Wei family to which Wei Buzhou, the former head teacher of the Jiangning Academy of Literature, belonged, and so on.

The scholars are businessmen and merchants, and they are often looked down upon by the scholars. However, the business is very profitable, especially the tax rate of Daqi is not high, so that the merchants have oil and water to earn, so several major families all own thousands of hectares of fertile land, and at the same time control the business. The many officials of Daqi are represented by these big landlords and big businessmen. Salt and iron have been monopolized by the state since ancient times, and in Daqi, although it is still nominally official, it is actually controlled by the big family, forming an economic "Tai'a inverted holding".

Of course, there are more than just these big families. These extended families are intertwined, with both strife and alliance. Huang Yuandu also took advantage of the contradictions of these big families to check and balance. Otherwise, just by killing a few low-level officials, it would not be able to deter these wealthy and powerful families at all.

Huang Song was secretly thinking, but saw his father leaning his head back on the back of the chair, rubbing it incessantly, looking exhausted, and hurriedly said, "Father, it's not too early, you might as well have someone pass the meal, use some food first." ”

"It's okay, you have someone pass it on. We're going to eat here today. By the way, add a meat dish and make a pot of wine. ”

Huang Song hurriedly responded and turned around to go out. Because the conversation between the father and son was too confidential, and there was no one waiting for him, Huang Song had to do it himself.

In a few moments, several vegetables were placed on the table. Huang Yue, Huang Song and even Huang Huan and Huang Ting sisters, life can be called luxury (the latest chapter of the bad eight roads). But Huang Yuandu himself is very simple. A plate of tender milk tofu, a plate of shredded pork and green bamboo shoots, a foot of periwinkle fish, and a plate of osmanthus cake. As for the additional meat dish, it is a plate of stir-fried beef. Huang Yuandu was as careful as a hair, and he took care of his son, so he added this plate.

The wine is a carved flower of the sunken years, and the tin jug is placed in a jar filled with hot water.

Huang Song knew that his father's words were not finished, so he threw out the maid who served the meal and arranged the dishes and chopsticks for Huang Yuandu in person. He tried the lid of the tin pot with his hand, and felt a little hot, so he took out the flask, filled it with wine for his father, and straightened the chopsticks for his father, and then carefully sat down at the bottom.

Eating with my father was not an easy task. Huang Yuandu has been a generation of Zaifu, extremely majestic, and when the Huang Mansion saw him, he didn't dare to breathe, let alone eat together. Fortunately, Huang Yuandu is responsible for state affairs and rarely eats with his family. Even so, the eldest brother Huang Yue rarely went back to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but spent the night in two courtyards near the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Everything was ready to stop, Huang Yuandu opened his eyes, first ate a piece of tender tofu, and after drinking a cup of wine, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was a little ruddy.

Huang Song got up and filled his father, and sat down again, but he didn't move.

"You can use some too, you and my father and son can eat and talk as you like!"

Huang Song replied "yes" again, and Fang picked up a bamboo shoot and put it in his mouth.

"Having said so much to you, you understand the current situation. Our Huang family, there are national beetles eyeing the tiger outside, and everyone is pressing step by step, the surface is calm, and the wind is surging secretly. In such a situation, how can you not be careless. As a great weapon of our Huang family, the dark eagle should think before and after acting, and be thoughtful. ”

Huang Yuandu's words were earnest. Huang Song knew that his father was beating himself. However, he still stubbornly believed that although he commanded the two dark eagles to chase and kill Song Zheng, although he was reckless, he did not regret it.

"The current saint is already fourteen years old, and in a few years, he will be in power (the latest chapter of the wasteland). Looking at it now, although the saint is not a great ruler, he is by no means a person who does nothing. In this dynasty, there were still some deep-rooted forces between the royal palace and the prime minister's mansion, which neither supported the juniper nor the prime minister's house, but were only loyal to the emperor. What they are waiting for is the emperor's pro-government, and then the situation will be more complicated. In the last two years, Dark Eagle and the Imperial City Division have been fighting, why has it stopped in the last year? It's not because Xiao Hui is aware of this like us. ”

Huang Yuandu said it very thoroughly, and he wanted to clean up his son's brain. Huang Song is a smart person, but he doesn't know who his father is talking about.

The current emperor Xiao Ying is of course Huang Yuandu's grandson and Huang Song's nephew. However, he was also the nephew of Xiao Juni, and was even succeeded by Gaozong. Why is Xiao Hui the most authoritative prince in the history of Qi? Is it the exclusive name of the prince? It's not because the emperor gave him a son!

The emperor was close to Xiao Jun, and he was also close to Huang Yuandu. If you are close to both opponents, you will not kiss at all.

Thinking about the chaotic and complicated situation, Huang Song had a headache and felt as if he had fallen into a quagmire. If you don't move, you'll sink, and if you move, you'll sink faster. He couldn't help but look up at his father, trying to find an answer from him.

After Huang Yuandu drank another half a cup, he said, "I also expected today's predicament earlier. Do you know why I'm so strong an advocate of science? Science pays attention to the nature of destiny and takes it as the way. Who is Destiny? Only the saint, only the emperor is the destiny of heaven. Whether it is a sergeant or a literati, if everyone believes in science, there will be fewer traitors who are duplicitous and even covet the weapons of the state. Physicists are really a good way to govern the country! Huang Yuandu's voice gradually became a little higher.

Huang Song showed a thoughtful look. It turned out that my father vigorously advocated the neo-Confucianism of science, not only because he believed in it, but also because he saw a decoction to eliminate the hidden dangers of Daqi.

"Loyalty to the monarch and serving the country, to the monarch Yaoshun, this is what my generation should do." Huang Yuandu patted the table, "However, the tail of the redundant army of Daqi is too big, and there are traitors peeping at Dabao." This is a big problem. The big families compete with the country for profit, compete with the people, accumulate wealth, and have no cruddenness to the people, which is a serious trouble. If you don't get rid of these two troubles, how can you be worthy of Daqi and the position of this Zaifu (read the full text with the wind). ”

Huang Song was stunned, he didn't expect his father to say such righteous and awe-inspiring words. In this case, why did he want to help Yan Yudu in the first place, intending to lead the enemy south? Why did he still join forces with Xiao Hui to make the former emperor and the crown prince die? Is this what loyalty to the king does to serve the country?

Did my father say this on purpose in front of him? Huang Song shook his head secretly, father and son, father doesn't seem to need to do this? Suddenly, Huang Song remembered the incident four years ago.

At that time, Huang Song transported back the first part of King Lu's secret collection from Maling Lake, and told his father Huang Yuandu that he had verified and killed the former princess and the former head of the inner palace, Gao Ling. Huang Yuandu was stunned at the time, and he was not very happy. In the end, Huang Yuandu just praised himself for doing a good job in Song Jue's affairs.

With Huang Yuandu's decisive character, the Song family should be wiped out and completely wiped out. Huang Song also thought about it repeatedly, and decided that Song Jue didn't know, so he left him. And Huang Yuandu only praised Huang Song for retaining the Song family, but never said anything about the tomb and the former princess, which is really a bit weird.

Huang Song was completely confused about this, but Huang Yuandu turned to the other side.

"The only way to deal with a big and serious problem is to reach out to the military. As long as he has most of the military power, he will not be able to make any changes, and he will be able to smoothly dismantle the large number of sergeants. Similarly, only by holding military power can you get rid of the fetters of everyone in Jiangnan. Cooperate with the promotion of science in the world and gather scholars, so that the government can be managed, the country will be rich, and the people will be strong! ”

"At that time, it is expected that the army will be prosperous, march into Guanzhong, and exterminate the Shu Kingdom!" Huang Yuandu clenched his fist and swung it hard in mid-air!

(It turned out to be very messy, which made people confused.) Although Lao Gu's kung fu in burying the pits is not good, he still fills in a few pits in these chapters, which is not only to solve puzzles, but also to clarify the context of the book.
