Chapter 122: Wei Liang Visits
As the so-called right medicine, no one knows what is going on better than Chu Fei.
The eunuchs took power to maintain the government, and there was an incompetent emperor who allowed the buying and selling of official positions, and those who bought officials would naturally get the money back in a similar way.
layer by layer, and in the end, all the evil consequences fell on the boss's surname.
If you want to cure the root cause, it is an impossible behavior, but since Gong Jing asked, Chu Fei could only tell the idea of accumulating grain in Tuntian and compassionate the refugees.
"The people yearn for it, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing. Nowadays, there are countless moths among the officials everywhere, so that the common people have no raw food and no appetite, and there are bandits who disturb the people's livelihood, so that hundreds of people are looking for a livelihood, and if they cannot find a way to eat, then they can only fall into the grass. And there are only a few wealthy families, and there are not enough wolves with more meat and less meat, so many bandits can only rob the people. In this way, a vicious circle is formed, which worsens indefinitely. ”
Hearing Chu Fei's remarks, Gong Jing's face became unnatural, but he couldn't help but nod.
'The Ten Servants are really hateful, if it weren't for them buying and selling officials. Gong Jing thought to himself.
But thinking about it, he wouldn't be stupid enough to say it, he just said indifferently, "When the water is clear, there are no fish, and it is impossible to arrest all the corrupt officials, do you have a solution?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Chu Fei suddenly felt speechless.
Is this a lie to yourself? Can you say that kind of thing?
If the water is clear, there are no fish, but that can't make the clear water pond become a waste water treatment site, seven or eight out of ten are corrupt officials, this is not a problem of the clear, but the turbidity.
"What the adults said is extremely true, the officials can't move, so they start from the people's livelihood. Adults can order people to open the granary to relieve the refugees and lead the refugees to Linzi. When the quantity is sufficient, a new order will be introduced, which can supply food and distribute according to work, and use refugees to reclaim wasteland, although Qingzhou is large, there are countless wilderness, and then the land will be distributed to refugees in the form of incentives, and the imperial court will collect 30% of grain as a reward, and the land will be owned by the user after ten consecutive years, so that the people who are lazy can be removed, and the number of refugees can be reduced on a large scale. When the people become rich, there will naturally be more taxes, and more taxes will be paid, and more taxes will be able to support more refugees to open up wasteland, forming a virtuous circle. ”
Gong Jing pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Although this is good, there are still too many shortcomings. If the supply of grain and grass is insufficient, attracting refugees will not only not solve the problem, but will cause chaos in Linzi City. ”
Chu Fei smiled when he heard this, and said, "This is exactly what I want to say, I once accidentally found a crop called potato, which was sown in Kunlun Village some time ago, and the first batch of products has matured at this time. If this crop is properly handled, it will be ripe in March, and I would like to dedicate this to adults to feed people's livelihood. ”
"Is that true?" Gong Jing suddenly stood up excitedly, it is ripe every three months, the difficult growth cycle is too powerful, even if you don't use this method, it is an extremely important thing, if you dedicate it to the Holy Lord to promote it, how many people will be saved.
However, he thought about it carefully, and suddenly calmed down again: "How is the yield of this potato?" ”
The corners of Chu Fei's mouth raised and said, "The yield is more than three times that of usual, and it is drought tolerant!" ”
"What!" Gong Jing broke out again, but his brows furrowed.
"Don't be a kid's to play at this time, are you telling the truth?"
"It's nature." Chu Fei said.
"Probable?"
"My lord, follow me to Kunlun Village and you'll find out at a glance."
As soon as these words came out, Gong Jing fell into contemplation again.
After a while, he raised his head and looked straight at Chu Fei and said, "Okay, I'll leave today and go to Kunlun Village with you once." ”
"I'm afraid it won't work." Chu Fei smiled bitterly and said, "There are still things in the army that have not been settled, I'm afraid we have to do it tomorrow." ”
Gong Jing was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said, "It's me who is reckless, tomorrow you go to Kunlun Village with me, you go down first." ”
"Whoa."
After leaving the Thorn History Mansion, Chu Fei's smile disappeared, and he changed to a deep face, with a gleam in his eyes, but he was relieved in his heart.
"How? Done? ”
The little earthworm came out of the corner and immediately asked Chu Fei.
After all, the little earthworm is a cat, and it is not convenient to appear on many occasions, so most of the time he can only hide in the dark.
When Chu Fei heard this, the corners of his mouth rose and said, "It's done, I'll go back tomorrow." ”
The little earthworm tilted its head and looked at Chu Fei, and asked suspiciously, "I really don't understand why you want to take out the potatoes, and secretly plant them until the critical time, isn't it okay?" ”
Chu Fei smiled slightly, and did not answer the little earthworm's words, "You'll know tomorrow." ”
The little earthworm seemed to be in thought, and the one person and the cat did not continue to communicate, and returned to the Qi Wangfu in a blink of an eye.
"Huh?"
Before coming to the Qi Palace, a carriage stopped in front of the door.
This is obviously not a guest of King Qi, if it was a guest, this carriage would have been taken over and placed by the next person.
The two carriages in front of him were parked there motionless, not even looking at the guards guarding the door.
However, this only made Chu Fei curious, but he had no intention of meddling.
But as soon as he arrived to enter the door, he heard a familiar voice.
"Young Master Chu, please stay!"
Chu Fei was slightly stunned, then turned his head to look.
"Master of the Wei family!"
Yes, the person who came was Wei Liang, the owner of the Wei family.
Wei Liang stepped down from the carriage with a smile on his face and walked quickly towards Chu Fei.
"Congratulations to Gongzi Chu on his victorious return."
"Thank you." Chu Fei said a word, his eyes swept to the carriage, and he asked indifferently, "You came to me on purpose?" ”
"Amount"
Wei Liang didn't expect Chu Fei to be so direct, he smiled and said, "Exactly, the last time Chu Gongzi was ill and didn't have a chance to see each other, he got the news yesterday, so he hurried over." I have a banquet behind the Taihe Building, and I also ask the son to go without giving up his face. ”
If he hadn't seen Wei Liang, Chu Fei would have almost forgotten about Weijiazhuang.
He's been out fighting these days, and he doesn't have the energy to think about it.
But time can't erase everything, and he is still unhappy with what Wei Jing has done.
"There's no need for a wine banquet, let's talk about something directly."
Chu Fei frowned and did not leave angrily.
It is true that Wei Jing is a member of the Wei family, but after all, the Wei family has such a big family business, and the head of the Wei family has personally visited the door twice, which has already given Chu Fei enough face.
"This," Wei Liang pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient here, Childe should go with me, and Childe will not disappoint Childe." ”
"Little earthworm, what the hell is this guy doing?"
Listening to Wei Liang's words, Chu Fei immediately communicated with the little earthworm in his mind.
