Suddenly startled, the two siblings turned away. But Yu Eshui, a disciple of the side branch of the same clan, pushed the door and walked in, and shook his head and said:

"You really don't know how to be careful, so that the patriarch's son followed you all the way home without knowing. If I hadn't used some means to persuade people away, wouldn't you be in great trouble with these words? ”

"This... Not really. They are all people of kinship. ”

Yu Donglou suddenly said a little unconfidently.

"Don't say that it is those tenants with foreign surnames, hosts, and relatives who have fallen in the ancestral hall or even the dungeon to receive family law, have you rarely seen it over the years?"

Yu Eshui shook his head and sighed.

At this time, Yu Donglou was speechless, and his sister trembled and shrunk in response. And Lu Wu continued to take care of himself:

"So if you want to leave, hurry up immediately, and before you react to the ancestral hall, I can still find a way to cover you out."

"Then why did you do such a thing, and what should you do in the future..."

Yu Donglou was a little surprised and grateful.

"Of course I'm going with you. Otherwise, how to explain. Anyway, there's nothing to worry about. ”

Yu Eshui couldn't help but smile bitterly

"I dare not forget the kindness of helping."

Yu said solemnly in the east building.

At this moment, he tried to suppress the indecision and reluctance in his heart, and immediately picked up the clothes and hurriedly touched them. Then, I saw the human body that was knocked unconscious and tied up by the door, which was obviously the result of Yu Eshui's persuasion.

After walking outside Zhuangzi, I found that Yu Eshui also prepared a little donkey, which happened to let his sister ride it.

"This is what I did when I was selling plasters outside, and now you say how to go."

Yu Eshui smiled again.

"Go south along the river, avoid the main road and don't go close to the town, about forty or fifty miles, you can see the corresponding checkpoints and sentry posts."

Yu Donglou thought about it and explained.

After a few hours, they waded across a river and climbed up the hill before they stopped for a short time. But on the other side, the sound of gongs and drums came from afar;

There were also people on the road in the middle of the field, shouting and chasing after them. Some people even led the fierce dog all the way to the river, only to turn around and return with some disappointment

At this moment, Yu Xiaomei's face became pale, and Yu Eshui sighed with some unsightly faces:

"I can't stay here for long.,This time the family has launched an all-out effort to find someone.,Last time it was the woman of the second room.,When you run away with someone.。。。

Hearing this, Yu Donglou changed color even more. Because he has seen with his own eyes the fate of the relevant person who was arrested, I am afraid that the scene that many people in ten miles and eight towns will not be able to forget, and now it will inevitably fall on him and his sister.

"It's just, what are your follow-up plans next, Jiulang?"

Yu Eshui means to refer to another way

"Of course, it's to settle people down in the south before making plans. I have a ministry to earn a living ... ”

Yu Donglou, who was both sad and lost in his heart, answered the way without knowing why.

"I'm afraid that's not enough. I think you should also wait for the opportunity to clear up the relationship; So if something happens in the future, there is room for mitigation and redemption. ”

Yu Eshui continued to shake his head.

"Well, not really."

Yu Donglou couldn't help but be surprised and hesitated, and it was still a little difficult to accept this result in his heart, or he still had some thoughts of escape that he didn't want to face.

"In the past few years, my business of selling plasters outside has become more and more difficult, but I have walked more places and seen more."

Yu Eshui sighed more and more.

"The world has become confusing, but these old people at home are still bent on stability and fearing change, I don't want to be with those most of the people who are in peace, and accompany them to bury the soil. I want to change to a new way of living.,Even if it's not for your Jiulang's sake.,I won't be able to stay in this family for long.。。 ”

Yu Donglou couldn't help but be surprised, could this be the awakened person who spontaneously rose up to seek change and survival in the midst of all the filth, and even tried to break with the past; But I remembered one of the propaganda dramas I once watched, "The Legend of the Two-Faced Man".

Among them, Zhu Laohu is a kind and affectionate elder internally, and a good son who serves the most filial piety; Externally, it is the tycoon in the cruel and treacherous fish and meat town, the chief of Li Zheng who forced countless people to death by unscrupulous means in order to accumulate wealth, and even the villain who was offered by unscrupulous speculation.

That's his side.

- I'm the dividing line -

In the city of Xiangyang, the weather has not cooled at all, and most people still have to wear thin and cool clothes.

Zhou Huai'an looked at the "Taiping Examination Law: Supervision Regulations" in front of him, which was handsome and the ink had not dried, and he was very touched and amazed; Because this is what he sits in his arms and clamps himself tightly with the smooth and tight leg roots, and the little pendant is a calamus, which is gradually completed according to his successive dictations.

It is especially rare in this era that this kind of living pillow can not only be played with and teased at all times, but also has the inner beauty of being proficient in literature and science and proficient in calligraphy.

If it had been placed in the early years, there might not have been anything about the so-called girls' school books and girls' middle school books in history. So for Zhou Huai'an now, the vague background is no longer important;

The important thing is to conform to one's own basic aesthetics and use, and indeed to appreciate and like it; And there is already enough power and authority to ignore the noise and distractions of the outside world, and let it play its own usefulness.

Immediately, Zhou Huai'an shifted his thoughts from the girl's delicate skin to specific considerations. At the same time, it is inevitable to meet with various subordinates and listen to their oral and written opinions, and at the same time, the issuance of these subsequent supplementary regulations is also an inevitable result.

Taking advantage of the vitality and momentum of the collective cause, there is still a lot of room for trial and error and accommodating deviations, as well as the corresponding upward space and a variety of attractive and encouraging effects of a large number of development channels.

The relatively rigorous and thorough system of large-scale system and the system of restraint and accountability will be gradually laid in place; It is better to wait until the bureaucratic system matures and is self-consistent to a certain extent in the future, and then it can only be repaired piecemeal and limited while taking into account the overall situation in a stable manner.

This also reflects the basic talent base of self-made people who started from scratch at the beginning and cultivated and discovered by themselves; The biggest difference is from those who are recruited and recruited into the system by the old subordinates.

In the process of steady ascent, the former only needs to consider how to accept and respond to new things from scratch; There may be a lot of deviations or detours; However, as long as there is no problem with the general direction of development, under the incentive mechanism of the benign operation of the system, it will eventually go to the ideal right track.

However, the latter will often bring a large number of hidden dangers, drawbacks, old habits, and other burdens and burdens of the system to the emerging collectives with the process of changing the court. Maybe it won't be revealed in a short time.

However, once the collective cause encounters a low ebb and setback, these existences that are speculative and reluctant in nature can easily become a drag in the corresponding position, or even a reverse force of division and civil strife.

Therefore, since ancient times, there is nothing more important than the heroes who sweep the world in the form of ploughing and sweeping holes; Instead of those who played coups and usurpations at the top, and seemed to seize state power with relative ease and simplicity, the Sima, Yang, and even Zhao and the like.

Because they directly destroyed the last old dynasty by means of violence and physical annihilation, directly or indirectly, most of the things and intertwined vested interests left behind; It was able to travel lightly on a relatively clean new territory and complete the basic structure of the foundation of the new dynasty with relative ease.

If, by the way, these founding kings lightly recuperated with the people, and even encouraged production and supervised the development of ownerless wasteland, it would be the basic precondition for creating a generation of prosperous monarchs.

The latter directly inherited a large number of shortcomings and hidden dangers in the old dynasty system, and continued to develop and accumulate as part of the political legacy; It is also because it is not the fruit of victory achieved by overwhelming force, and it is also worried that it will be taken away by others by relatively clever coup d'état; Therefore, it is inevitable that a large amount of the resources at his disposal will be used to maintain internal stability and check and balance the existing factions, and even to buy off the existing interest classes.

As a result, in the external political, military, and even people's livelihood development, it is inevitable that with the sharp reduction of resources and input, there will be all kinds of serious recession and decline, and then the intensification of social contradictions will be further promoted, and the internal suppression and maintenance of stability resources will remain high.

and even gradually evolved into a structure of abnormal changes within the system such as the "three hypers" of the Northern Song Dynasty. Or it is reflected in the fact that there are more defeats and fewer victories in foreign wars, and the peasant revolts at home are frequent, but they always maintain the so-called "highest probability of victory" on their own land.

It's like the emperor and Song Dynasty blowers and true love fans in later generations, who always boasted about how high the income of the Great Song Dynasty and how high the living standards of the residents of the capital were, but basically ignored the thousands of ants and small people who struggled to die or rose up against the most onerous taxes and high prices in the past dynasties.

Until this increasingly narrow cycle of death completely collapses, or is suddenly broken by external factors such as natural and man-made disasters and foreign invasions. So there was Jingkang's shame, and there was the Fengbo Pavilion and the Shaoxing Peace Conference; Even if there is no New Year's coin of the Liao State, there is still the Jin State to cut the flesh and bleed; When there is no Jin State's flesh and bloodletting, Mongolia will come and gobble it up.

This seems to be a kind of helpless accident and accident, but it is full of all kinds of accumulated inevitable factors. Although Song fans always have to lament their misfortune, Da Song is really unfortunate to hold on to an opponent who is more than one awesome until the last moment. But in the words of the Taizu of the new dynasty in later generations, that is, if you are backward, you will be beaten.

This backwardness refers not only to the political, economic and cultural, but also to the top-down spiritual outlook of the country, the operation of the system, the output of resources and the efficiency of mobilization, and a series of factors. If you are weak on your own, how can you expect to be physically strong, but have enough muscles and deterrence.

If it is from the root of his personality, he will only be a cowardly coward, even if he relies on God to change his opponent to sparring, he will still inevitably be beaten and bullied. And Zhou Huai'an's vision and insight as a traverser are at least no worse than these successful examples.

Mi Bao's voice, who was in charge of reporting the work, brought Zhou Huai'an's thoughts back to reality again.
