Zhao Xingna bowed his head, and his words were sincere, which made Lu Shi stunned, could it really be that he, a traverser, exuded the spirit of the king and impressed the heroes of the world? But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, he didn't have that ability, and he thought that it was just that the three housekeepers were afraid that they would say the opposite, and when he took the money, he chopped him over at no one's place.

Seeing that Zhao Xing was still kneeling there, he stepped forward and pulled it up, and said with a smile: "But it's the housekeeper who is too careful, I am out of my heart and your money, like me, there are people like me who are difficult to protect themselves today and tomorrow, where do you have to be followed by the housekeeper?" Hurry up. ”

That Zhao Xing was pulled up by Lu Shi and looked at Lu Shi seriously for a while. This Zhao Xing was originally a sleek and delicate person, in this wolf's den like the Zhang family for many years, it was quite unique to watch people and things, and when he saw Lu Shi's sincerity, he knew that Lu Shi had misunderstood, and he was even more firm in his thoughts, and knelt down again at that time.

Lu Shi pulled it up, changed his name to Mr. Zhao Xing, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. has something to say, don't kneel around like this, so I can't afford it, and I really don't get used to these, my knees are kneeling parents, kneeling heaven and earth, and the rest is the emperor Lao Tzu but also Xiuxiu wants me to kneel down, if you and I are on a blind date, don't be so angry." ”

When Zhao Xing heard this, he thought that Lu Shi had great ambitions, and he was even more overjoyed, thinking that he had made a good choice.

"I'm just a child, but I can't be called Mr. by Mr., if Mr. values it, just call it by Zhao Xing."

"Then I'll call you brother, don't kneel around in the future, you and my brother, do you want me to kneel and you can't go back?" Lu Shi joked with a smile.

"If you don't dare to kneel under Mr., then we will treat each other as peaceful." Zhao Xing no longer shirked, and replied frankly.

"That's exactly what happened." Lu Shi let out a sigh of relief and said, the complexity of the etiquette of the ancient people really gave Lu Shi a headache. At the beginning, the Zhang family boy knelt back and forth, and finally changed it to surrender under his own forced order, and at that time, Zhang Laoshi and his wife repeatedly recited that this was not in place.

Thinking of Zhang Laoshi, his heart hurts.

Zhao Xing saw that Lu Shi's face suddenly darkened, and he knew that Lu Shi remembered the tragedy of the Zhang family again, and immediately changed the topic and said: "Dare to ask sir, you answered with that child at the city gate, is there really such a world?" ”

Lu Shi replied firmly without hesitation; "Exists."

"Is Sir really willing to lead us to make it happen?" Zhao Xing asked.

Lu Shi turned around with a deep groan and walked slowly; "I am kind, and I don't have any ambitions, I want to rush to the south with the old and young of the Zhang family with grace, with a little knowledge of me, to be a rich man, and escape this troubled world safely."

Speaking of this, his tone darkened again, "But, now Zhang Honest's death, those men's unwavering retention, changed my original intention, people in the world, there are many things that you can't hide if you want to, you can escape if you want to, if God lets me return to this world, it gives me such a responsibility, I am willing to fight for it, I know that it is very difficult, it takes a long time and countless blood lives, if I die, I think my brothers will also understand my thoughts, and they will fight for it." ”

Zhao Xing bowed to the tunnel with a solemn face; "Please take Sir by my side, I am willing to be a small soldier, follow Mr. before and after the saddle, even if I die now, I have no regrets."

Lu Shi turned around and didn't pull up Zhao Xing, just stared at him and said; "If I die, are you willing to continue to carry your responsibilities, not for me Lu Shi, not for the stars, but for the old and young of this cottage, and for the tens of millions of lives that continue to join and follow?"

Zhao Xing raised his head, already with tears in his eyes, and said loudly; "I swear by my parents, not for anyone, just for my husband, that ideal world, even if he dies, he is willing."

"Good brother." Lu Shi happily pulled up Zhao Xing. "Let's work together."

Since he decided to take the road of uprising, Lu Shi was no longer entangled in his heart, and his mood suddenly brightened, and he began to carefully check the statistics of the Zhang family's grain inventory, Zhao Xing followed behind Lu Shi, still staggering Lu Shi by half a step.

Lu Shi said with a smile as he walked: "If we want to realize the ideal in our hearts, we have to work against Emperor Lao Tzu, which is very different from the sage books you read, it seems that your books are read in vain." Soothing his mood, Lu Shi couldn't help but tease Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing also smiled and said: "Sir, in fact, what I just said is true, although I also read the sage book, but I really can't do those eight articles, but I like miscellaneous studies, the family has suffered a tragic change to see through this court official, and in this Zhang family wolf's den every day, I see a rotten Ming Dynasty that is linked up and down, first there is a eunuch party, and then there is the so-called clear stream, but it is the front door to the tiger and the back door to enter the wolf, to oppress those who really want to do their best for the people and the country, and the maintenance is nothing more than the relatives of the official eunuch and the strong emperor, The people who framed and persecuted were all the people who were promoted to fight for us, and there was no hope for this Ming Dynasty. ”

When Lu Shi heard this, he couldn't help but value Zhao Fei in his heart, but he kept saying: "Brother Zhao, you can see it very thoroughly, I heard that this Emperor Chongzhen is working hard, and he has the signs of the lord of Zhongxing, hehe, but in my opinion, he is just dying, this Ming is already like a broken house, Chongzhen just wants to be a pastemaker, where the wind leaks, where the paste, the foundation that has really collapsed, then he is powerless, such a house will collapse as long as a slightly violent storm." ”

"The words of the gentleman are apt and the insights are also to the point." Zhao Xing sincerely admired Lu Shi's unique insights and couldn't help but admire.

Then he cautiously said according to his own analysis: "This Emperor Chongzhen, I don't see it like a lord of Zhongxing, but more like a dying and struggling king of the country, although he has the heart, but his strength is insufficient, the so-called eradication of the eunuch party is just a more unbearable clear stream, but it is just pushing the country to the brink of extinction faster." ”

How does this start? That clear stream is the mainstay that everyone admires. Lu Shi was shocked by Zhao Xing's insight, who else can see this disadvantage except for himself as a traverser now? So he stood down and asked.

"Sir, I've been admitted to school." Zhao Xing said with a smile, but continued: "Throughout the dynasties, they either died outside or inside, but no matter where they died, it was because of the biggest reason within the Central Plains court-party strife, which is the basic cause of the fall of all imperial courts. ”

Lu Shi nodded, and continued to walk slowly without committality, listening to Zhao Xing's analysis below.

"This Ming, the eunuch party is just greedy, but its greed is not only aimed at the foundation of the Ming Dynasty - the people, in fact, the main thing is to target those bureaucrats and gentry, which to a certain extent inhibits the more and more serious land annexation, the arrogance of the clear stream, and at the same time, it is also for the ruined Ming to scrape the military salary of the border soldiers, of course, the small people have been squeezed incomparable, if you want to maintain the operation of the Ming Dynasty, you can only take those rich gentry who do not pay food and do not pay taxes, but once this clear stream comes to power, you see, what did they do? It is not to change this status quo, but to intensify the persecution and oppression of the small people, and indulge those rich gentry and cool officials who are already full of brains, and now the small people have been squeezed and can not be squeezed, and the tax money and grain of the imperial court will be less and less, so in the near future, the border soldiers will have no salary to pay, at that time, the border soldiers will have no combat effectiveness, and they will be even more powerless against the full Tartars who have only the ability to parry, and the escape and defeat of the border soldiers will not be long after, I heard that the funny thing is that our new first assistant also said to the generals who have been without food and salary for many years." If a soldier has the heart of loyalty to the king, he should search for rats and birds to think that it is a state affair, otherwise he will be suspected of disloyalty and injustice" Haha, what a ridiculous logic? What a clear doctor? I'm sorry, those self-proclaimed scholars, isn't that one owns thousands of acres of land, and that one doesn't have a lot of shops in other people's names? The emperor also wanted to levy taxes on the rich to make up for the treasury, but the Qingliu people turned out the sage articles one by one, quoted scriptures and rebuttals, and finally put the big hat of competing with the people for profit on this little emperor who wanted to be Yao Shun, and the representatives of these rich people won, so the empty treasury could only be squeezed again on these small people. ”

At this point, his chest and abdomen were already heaving, and he was filled with righteous indignation.

In fact, Lu Shi is more aware of the difference between this eunuch and Qingliu in the future.

The young man who was determined to be the king of Yao Shun asked his courtiers how else they should cooperate with each other in order to realize his ambition to prosper the Ming Dynasty. The Donglin gentlemen believed that the emperor should also revoke other surveillance agencies deployed in various places, such as the provincial river control.

Emperor Jiajing liked to send eunuchs to monitor the river. Because of the repeated floods at that time, Jiajing's unkind suspicion was that the civil officials below embezzled the public funds for river control. But he had no evidence, so he simply sent the eunuchs out to supervise the water control, this distrust made the civil officials grit their teeth and hate, in the past, when there was a flood, the emperor had no way to take the civil officials, but the emperor had a very good way to take the eunuchs. Wanli stipulated that once there was a flood, then he would execute the overseer eunuch without asking questions.

This is unreasonable. But it greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the river supervisor, when the spring flood and autumn flood came in the Wanli Dynasty, many eunuchs in charge of the river supervisor would even move to live on the river embankment, despite this, there were still many eunuchs who died under the barbaric law of Wanli, so the civil officials hated this evil law.

After the Donglin Party took power in the Tianqi Dynasty, the eunuchs of the river were taken back again, and from the first year of the Apocalypse to the sixth year of the Apocalypse, before Wei Zhongxian took power, the Donglin gentlemen did not build a river in the whole country. Since the Son of Heaven inquired this time, the Donglin cabinet immediately cited the river supervisor as Wei Zhongxian's evil government.

Since this law was promulgated after Wei Zhongxian framed the Donglin Gentleman, the young Son of Heaven agreed that it must be an evil rule, believing that insulting the virtues of the Donglin Gentleman was destroying the harmony and trust between the monarch and the minister, so the Son of Heaven gladly ordered the repossession of the river supervision eunuchs throughout the country.

Since Chongzhen took back the river to supervise the eunuchs, until Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, the entire Ming Dynasty has never repaired a river or treated a water in 17 years, whether it is the Yellow River or the Yangtze River, whether it is Shandong or Zhejiang. In the past 17 years, the river has been allowed to flood again and again, and every time the Donglin gentleman has used the excuse of "saving" to get rid of the money for repairing the river and controlling the water.

The Donglin cabinet and the Donglin party of the government and the opposition shouted long live for the wise decision of the Son of Heaven, and then the cabinet proposed a package of tax cuts, believing that the natural disasters were mainly caused by Wanli's indiscriminate tax collection, so they suggested to the Son of Heaven to carry out a general tax cut, so as to make the heavens happy, so as to bless the wind and rain in the Ming Dynasty.

After the Son of Heaven agreed, the Donglin gentleman was the first to propose the tea tax, and in the past, the Wanli Emperor could not trust the Wenchen, so he sent the supervising eunuchs to inspect the tea plantations in the provinces, which of course was a great bad government. The gentlemen of Donglin would never be greedy for the country's tax land, so the Son of Heaven took back the eunuchs who were supervised by the various political secretaries. Of course, since then, the tea tax revenue of the provinces has dropped sharply, and the civil officials have reported disasters one after another, and the tea harvest has failed, and by the tenth year of Chongzhen, the tea tax in Zhejiang Province alone has been reduced from 200,000 taels of silver in the Wanli and Tianqi years to 12 taels per year (note, I am absolutely not mistaken)

Then there is the sea tax, the Ming Dynasty civil officials and local maritime merchants were inextricably linked, they proposed to the emperor that the "forbidden sea" should be restored, the Wanli Emperor opened the sea to prohibit the eunuchs to collect taxes is a serious violation of the ancestral system, is a great evil government, and then the successive natural disasters also proved the extreme injustice of the collection of sea taxes, the Son of Heaven once again recognized the judgment of the Donglin cabinet, and ordered the eunuchs of the customs to return to the palace.

Since the Wanli Tianzi Xinghai trade, the customs tariff has been a major pillar of the Ming Dynasty's finances, and it is also an important source of domestic currency, and by the time of the 40th year of Wanli, the Wanli Tianzi can get four million taels of silver every year in the sea tax. Since the first year of Chongzhen's reign in the name of reinstating the ban on the sea, the inner treasury can no longer get a tael of silver from the maritime trade of the increasingly prosperous countries.

Then there is the silk tax, Wanli thinks that if the merchant sells silk and weaves silk, he will be able to make money, so he collects industrial and commercial tax, Donglin gentleman thinks that this is called "the Son of Heaven and the small people compete for profit", is one of the reasons for natural disasters, this tax exemption plan will naturally be abolished, Chongzhen agreed.

And ————————

According to Qingliu's request, after abolishing all kinds of taxes that "compete with the people for profit" and violated the ancestral system, the new emperor once again enjoyed the high praise that his grandfather, father and brother had never enjoyed.

However, natural disasters are still the same, in order to maintain the operation of this huge empire, they can only squeeze the small people again, and those who should be given relief are not helped, but they are urged, and the military salaries that should be paid are not paid, but the soldiers are required to fight hungry, and so on-

"There is such a clear stream in charge of the Ming Dynasty, the beginning of the cyclical fate of the dynasties has appeared, and the chaos in the world is in front of you, but the rebels in northern Shaanxi have risen again and again in recent years, but they look like they are all looting to satisfy their own guys, once they have money and food, they don't want to forge ahead, and they can't achieve anything big, little brother, I already have this heart, or I don't even have a small family, but I'm afraid of dragging down other people's daughters."

Lu Shi couldn't help but be shocked by Zhao Xing's unique vision and the accuracy of seeing the problem, but he couldn't see the difficult process yet. The change of dynasty is the result of countless blood.

"Actually, there's a little more." Zhao Xing sneered at this time and said: "In addition to writing and calculating, I will not make a living, Mr. gave me those gold and silver to spend it for a while, and it is inevitable that I will live hungry in the future, even if I take these gold and silver, don't walk ten miles, it must be the bag of which pole, and my hundred catties of skin are also filled in the ditch, so it is safer to follow Mr." He burst out laughing.

These followed behind Lu Shi, although they were respectful, they also felt Lu Shi's easy-goingness, and slowly let go of their minds.

Seeing that Zhao Xing said something sincere and funny, Lu Shi laughed and said, "But it's my brother, I almost killed my brother, but my brother can think about the hardships and hardships of our future road?" ”

"It's just a skin, a head, and a lot of blood." Zhao Xing said firmly.
