Chapter 855: The Evils of the Times

"Then they should be exempted from the death penalty."

Liu Lan very much agreed with what the young man said, and said: "What you said is to the point, but I don't know if there is a solution?" ”

"Yes."

The young man's slightly childish face looked extremely excited, and his little face turned red because of his approval.

But the county warden in front of him agreed with his philosophy of governing the world, which made his heart immediately swell with the hope of revenge in his heart, and he was even more sure that the person he was seeking was not some person

The left way in his mouth completely eliminated the slightest doubt about the concept in his heart, and it turned out that his own concept was not so shocking! looked at Liu Lan and said:

"It's easier to solve the problems in Xuzhou or Peixian, but it's even more difficult in the rest of the states."

"Tell me why it is easy to be in Xuzhou but difficult in the other eight states?" Liu Lan said curiously.

"Today's Xuzhou and even Peiguo are quite similar to Liaodong, the general has experience in governing Liaodong, and should understand that Xuzhou has just gone through war, and there are many borderless lands, and the county guards only

The land needs to be re-measured and divided equally among the landless people for cultivation, and the land annexation of the wealthy can be easily solved. ”

"There are many places in Liaodong and few people, so the annexation is not serious, so it is easy to govern, and after Peixian experienced the war, the population plummeted, and it was easy to deal with, so what about the rest of the states?"

The young man plucked up his courage and said: "In the rest of the states, most of the land is in the hands of wealthy clans, so this strategy is not feasible. The young man peeked at Liu Lan and smiled when he saw him

Fei smiled, waited for the following, and said with a smile: "If the county guard can listen to the kid say these words, he must know the key points, but whether he understands the person who really affects the country." It's not that there are many county guards

Young bandits, how many yellow turbans are destroyed, but these wealthy clans. ”

"Oh?"

Liu Lan looked up at him suddenly, and said with a cherished look: "Tell me?" ”

"The great harm of the clan and the people, relying on the power to annex the land, colluding with the government and even the imperial court; Concealment of land. Although there are 10,000 acres of cooked land, they are all poor peasants

Paying taxes, and the small people have no land to cultivate, they still have to pay people (heads) money, so they have no choice but to be a private slave (this slave should be a tenant farmer) and evade taxes, although

How can a private person pay money on behalf of others, but how can it be compared with the tax on forced labor.

The most hateful person is that the head of Qiantou has no land to plant, so he has to sell his house and land to pay people's money. In the end, those who are loyal to the king's law can only become slaves (tenant farmers), and those who are fierce and untransformed can only be Xiang

That's how they do banditry. Poor peasants become bandits, and naturally they no longer pay taxes, but the county officials must collect taxes (registered, there are clear accounts, even if you become a beggar

The beggars still have to pay, otherwise it is the fault of the officials), how to collect it? Naturally, you can't collect it from wealthy families. We can only continue to exploit the rich peasants and middle peasants, so that the rich will get richer. The poor are getting poorer, bandits are rampant in various places, whether the imperial court wants to eliminate them, if you want to suppress the bandits, grain and grass are indispensable, but the imperial court has no national funds. And how to suppress it? Here it is

The root cause of rampant banditry? ”

In the end, it seemed to be a summary, and said: "So the kid said that the one who brought disaster to the country and the people was the clan, can the county guard agree with it?" ”

Liu Lan agreed with what the young man said, and nodded unnoticed. "Even so, as long as the land is re-measured, the Yidina endowment will not be able to solve the problem

Scourge of the Clan? But why do you say it's not feasible? ”

"It's easier said than done to re-measure the land."

The young man looked distressed, gritted his teeth, and said: "If you want to implement this order, it will not only be more difficult but also difficult, not to mention that the county officials in various places have deceived their superiors and subordinates

, that is, if there is a person who contributes to the people, how can the clan let him measure smoothly? ”

Liu Lan has been in Han for many years, how can he not know that this is a stubborn disease, a chronic disease, and Shen Ke of the Han Dynasty, and said with a smile: "Since you said it, there is naturally a solution, right?" ”

"Exactly." A cold light burst out of the young man's eyes: "Today's Han Dynasty is like a patient who has been ill for a long time, since he is terminally ill, he needs to take strong medicine." "Say this

But he sighed like a little adult: "It's a pity that there is no one in the world who has done this." ”

Zhen Yan exclaimed, as soon as the young man's words came out, he was already frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and stammered: "Lord, if this is really the case, don't say that it is Xuzhou, it is the big one in the world."

, I'm afraid there is no place for me. ”

Liu Lan waved his hand at him, but he said to Zhen Yan in a young voice: "He is still young, he can't see clearly, and what he says is inevitably a little extreme and reckless." ”

He was noncommittal to the words of the young man in front of him, he knew very well the influence of the clan, and if he really wanted to divide their land, when the time came, it would be out of control.

Liu Lan turned his horse to the side of the carriage and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of such an act? ”

The young man nodded heavily and said, "I have thought about it, and it is precisely because I have thought about it that I need to cut through the mess with a quick knife." ”

"Then have you thought about it, how many people in the state capitals and the court have nothing to do with them? If it really comes to that time, it will affect the whole body, and the consequences will never be

You and I can think of it. ”

“……”

Seeing that he looked at him stubbornly, Liu Lan did not speak, and said in a low voice: "So this matter must not be rushed." ”

After speaking, he said loudly: "Your opinion is very unique, can you tell me your name?" ”

The young man thought that Liu Lan did not agree with his own opinion, so he was silent, but suddenly heard him say, 'Don't be in a hurry', obviously agreeing with his own opinion

, overjoyed, respectfully saluted, and said: "The boy's surname is called Zhuge single name, a bright character." ”

"Zhuge Liang?" Liu Lan was stunned in his heart, didn't he realize that this young man was Zhuge Zhuge Kongming, the embodiment of the wisdom of later generations? Although years of qi cultivation kung fu have already met him

I was not shocked when I was pampered and humiliated, but at this time, I suddenly knew that the person in front of me was Brother Pig, and I still couldn't believe my ears, my heart fluctuated, and I turned to ask the middle-aged Dao next to him

"This gentleman doesn't know Gao's surname, where is Xianxiang?" ”

"In Xia Zhuge Xuan, he is a native of Lang Evil Yangdu."

Zhuge Xuan bowed his hand to Liu Lan and said: "These two children are the nephews of Bucai, one Zhuge Liang and the other Zhuge Jun, who made Liu Jun Shoujian smile just now." ”

How could Liu Lan have the heart to observe Zhuge Jun, as if Zhuge Liang in front of him was a naked woman, a pair of eyes could no longer be separated from him, thinking that he was really three years old. Seven years old

Look at the old, Zhuge Liang at this time has such an insight, to the point of the disadvantages, but he is also powerful, but the only thing that is a little dangerous is that he is too extreme, maybe this is the future

The source of his rule of Shu is located. It was all caused by this extremism when he was a teenager, and an idea was immediately born in his heart that leaving him in Peixian might have an impact on him in the future

Effect. At the moment when his mind was spinning, he asked Zhuge Xuan, "I don't know where Mr. Zhuge wants to go?" If you are not busy with the road, why not go to Pei County for a few days? ”

Zhuge Xuan politely refused, "I want to go south to Yuzhang, but I am afraid that I will live up to Liu Junshou's good intentions." ”

"Won't Yuzhang be too far away?" If Liu Lan is not mistaken, Yuzhang should be in the area of Nanchang, Jiangxi, right? From northern Jiangsu to Jiangxi. As far as the current traffic is concerned, it is not allowed

Walk for February or March? Stay, said: "I think Mr. Zhuge still doesn't want to go, why don't you stay with me?" ”

"To tell you the truth, Xuan Nai was invited by Yuan Highway to go to Yuzhang to take up the post of Taishou."

"If that's the case, then Liu won't be forced to stay."

Liu Lan has already been listed as the pastor of Yuzhou, although he can also give Zhuge Xuan a county to guard the throne, but these ancients. is like Tai Shici, a thousand gold and a promise. Since it has been promised before

If you go to Yuzhang to take office, you will never accept his invitation again, so you have to change your words and say: "Even so, Zhuge County Guard must go to Pei County with Deran, so that it is okay."

Deran can be close to Mr. Slightly full of landlord friendship. ”

Although Zhuge Xuan knew that it was difficult to be warm, he still refused, but he was only halfway through his words, when he was interrupted by his nephew Zhuge Liang on the side, and persuaded him: "Uncle." since

Liu Junshou invited, let's stay for a few days."

It seems that Xiao Zhuge Liang has a good image of me. Liu Lanlang laughed and said, "Since even Xiao Zhuge has begged Zhuge to guard the county, the county guard can't shirk anymore." ”

Zhuge Xuan was forced to agree: "Okay, then I will go to Pei County with Liu Junshou to stay for a few days." ”

As soon as Zhuge Xuan's voice fell, Zhuge Liang said again: "Liu Junshou, what about them?" He said and pointed to the villagers.

"Them?"

Liu Lan looked at them, he already had a plan in his heart, and said with a smile: "If you let them go back like this, they will inevitably come to do the robbers again in order to provide food and clothing for rent in the future."

, I think you will come to serve in front of our army, how about it? When he said these words, he did look at Zhuge Liang Dao.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "The county guard is thoughtful. As he spoke, he shouted for Liu Lan: "Are you willing to serve in front of the defenders of Liu County?" ”

"The little ones are willing, the little ones are willing." Saying that, Qi Qi knelt down and kowtowed.

When the group returned to the camp, Liu Lan treated Zhuge Liang's uncle and nephew with all kinds of courtesy, and after eating, how could Liu Lan, who returned to the tent to rest, fall asleep, his mind was full of things

Ge Liang, fortunately, at this time, he had already developed the habit of not disarming his armor whenever he slept on the march, and it was also very convenient at this time, so he put on his shoes and 'boots' and walked out of the tent.

Greeting the soldiers on duty at night on the road, Liu Lan actually walked to the temporary horse house where the horses were circled, there were not many horses in the horse house, only the mount of the general under the tent moved in.

Zhao Yun's white dragon foal, Zhang Fei's black horse, and of course Liu Lan's foal, came to the foal and gently stroked its fur and fed it, but in their hearts they sighed

Ge Liang said today, although he knows all this, but if he really does it like him, how easy is it to say? Sighing at the foal, he said, "Pony, foal,

You've met your Bole, but what about me? I met the famous Wolong, but he was too young, and although he was right, he was too reckless and paranoid, no

I can listen to it. ”

As he spoke, he shook his head and said regretfully: "If my 'Maxima' can be used as soon as you do, as long as I can pacify the division of various places, the disaster of the clan will be Xu."

Xu Tuzhi. ”

Suddenly, he heard footsteps in the distance and shouted, "Who is it?" ”

"It's me."

Liu Lan immediately heard that the voice of the comer was Zhuge Liang, and greeted him and said, "You didn't sleep so late now, but you came here?" ”

"It turned out to be Liu Junshou."

After Zhuge Liang came to Liu Lan's side to give a salute, he said, "Uncle's horse always gives him some night grass every night, and the kid has come to feed him some grass." ”

"I see." Liu Lan said with a smile: "As the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fat." ”

"Why did Liu Junshou come here?" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Lan with a pair of bright eyes.

"Me? Of course, it's the same as you. ”

Liu Lanlang laughed but sighed: "Listening to Mr. Xiao's words today, Lan's heart fluctuated. For today's plan, the real scary thing is not the clan, but Dong Zhuoyu

If one of the party and the princes who support their own troops and respect themselves can really get rid of these two evils, then the scourge of the clan will be simple. ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned in his heart, and then his eyes swept over Liu Lan, and said: "The county guard has great ambitions, but this sentence should not be said to a child like me." ”

"Hehe, yes, you're only fifteen years old after all."

Liu Lan looked at Zhuge Liang, who was young and old in front of him, and said with a smile: "But just based on your remarks about the clan, I can't treat you as a child?" Isn't it? ”

"But I ......"

Liu Lan looked at him with a glittering light: "What? Not confident in yourself? Ganluo XII is an envoy, and I don't think you are worse than him. ”

"Ganro?" Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly, because he had been determined to be like Guan Zhongle Yi since he was a child, and he once said to himself in his heart that he wanted to be like Guan Zhongzhi to his son Xiaobai

found his own Qi Huan Gong, but these words are just young people's juvenile madness, think about it in my heart, it's okay, it's hard to say it.

?“ I'm sure you can do it. ”

"What?"

"Have you ever wanted to stay with me?"

"Learn Mao's poems?"

"Do you really think so?"

"The kid was just joking before."

"I, Liu Lan, have never been interested in studying, whether it is Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, or even Han Feizi and Liu Anzi, I have dabbled in it, and as for the military books written by the Yin and Yang family, I must be idle

However, I will see, in this world, men take Wu hooks, and scholars can also lead troops to fight in all directions, so this book can't be thrown, there is a saying how to say, the living read the dead book, you can put it

Books read live. Reading dead books to the living, you can read people to death, and reading in the army is the best place for the living to read dead books.

Lao Zhuang, the Yin and Yang family, the Zongheng family have everything, there is only good for you, no harm! ”

Zhuge Liang had a moment of heartbeat, especially Liu Lan's previous sentence of reading without seeking much understanding and the latter sentence of a living person reading a dead book, he can read the book alive. Dead books read the living, and people can be read

Death made him deeply shocked by the most famous warrior in the world, but there were some things that he could not decide in a word, and said: "Can you allow the boy to discuss with his uncle."

If the uncle agrees, the boy will stay and study at the county guard. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for your reply."

In fact, when Zhuge Liang said that he needed to discuss with his uncle, Liu Lan knew that Zhuge Liang would definitely not stay, the reason was very simple, his uncle would never leave him in a stranger

place, since that person is Liu Lan, it doesn't matter anymore, because he has already crossed paths with Zhuge Liang.

He can only use this to talk about comfort, otherwise what else? (To be continued.) )
