The old people often can't help but talk about the days, ten days and half a month have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is true, the eighth nobles of the first month of the month of the month made a big fuss, not only killed the eunuch Tian Yi who was the master of ceremonies, but also froze to death outside the noon gate in the middle of the night, I thought that there was going to be a big storm in the capital, but I didn't expect that the day turned around and Dingguo Gong entered the palace, and the emperor and the nobles were collectively silent.

More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is still calm, and there is no sound of the wind at all, as if nothing has happened, which makes people feel very strange.

Just when people pricked up their ears and stared at the nobles with wide eyes, something even more strange and shocking happened, the nobles were calm on their side, but the civil officials were getting more and more lively, even to the point of making people feel unbelievable.

Before the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the civil officials were very calm and there was no movement, but as soon as it was sealed, all the people of Beijing saw a very, very strange phenomenon.

That's the official's sedan chair, which began to be full of skewers on the street, really all over the street, and you can touch a small sedan chair after walking two steps.

At first, I didn't feel strange to see the excitement, I thought it was taking advantage of the annual leave to run the door, and I would be promoted to a good position or something in the coming year, but gradually I found different signs, these small sedan chairs all over the street did not run to the house of the old man or the six big guys, not to mention, these people do not go to the restaurant, do not go to the Fengyue place, all of them are not at home and do not come out, and the meals are all sent to each house by the restaurant.

This is obviously plotting something, no, how can there be such a conspiracy to get together so openly, shouldn't it all be quietly getting together in the middle of the night to do bad things? What is this clearly what it is? Conspiracy?

Yes, yes, it's a conspiracy! But anyone who has a little way and a little source knows what's going on, and the second assistant and the third assistant are ready to fight for the position of the first assistant, not only to fight but also to pinch openly, so the people of each faction are in full swing to show each other's black materials.

It would be an all-out war, and it would begin on the first day of the opening of the office in the new year.

This is something that people with a little bit of access or a little bit of information know. Those who are very well-informed and have a very wide range of channels know more than them, and their eyes are not only on the civil officials, but their eyes are still firmly on the nobles, and most of their eyes are on the nobles.

It is precisely because their eyes are still firmly fixed on the nobles, so they have a greater harvest than others, they found that the nobles have been frantically sending people out since the tenth day of the lunar month, and the number of people sent out at a time is less than a dozen, more than hundreds, and they also found that the most of these people are not the nurses, the most are the bookkeepers.

If this is a family doing this, maybe there may be a problem with the outside business, and someone will be sent out to check the accounts, but more than a dozen families or even the entire noble class are sending account offices out, this matter is different, this fucking cliff is something big happening, super big thing, and it is a big thing that can make money.

So when these people found out about this strange thing, they immediately began to walk the way, and began to prepare to join this money-making army.

These people with a way began to get busy, and suddenly the already very lively Jingshi became even more lively.

……

Compared with the liveliness of Jingshi, the liveliness of Linqing is no longer called lively, but busy.

It's approaching the New Year, but the whole Linqing doesn't have a little bit of New Year's flavor, but it is like a huge construction site, right is the construction site, a busy construction site, as far as the eye can see, there are people everywhere in Linqing who are busy building houses and building warehouses.

Even outside the city of Linqing, the southeast, the south, and the southwest, the three places have become huge construction sites, and countless people are leveling the land here, and anyone with a little vision can see that these people are building a new city.

If someone looks down from the air, they will find that the newly built city is combined with the old city, so that the entire Linqing city has expanded by half at once, and the area of the new city seems to be as large as the area of the old city.

Liu Zheng walked in this hot construction site, and said with emotion: "This hot scene reminds me of Qingzhou." ”

Wei Boyuan and Jiang Mingda, who followed Liu Zheng, glanced at each other, although Jiang Mingda was also in Qingzhou at the beginning, but he had been staying in Linzi and had never seen what happened outside Qingzhou with his own eyes, so his eyes were slightly puzzled, Wei Boyuan was different, Wei Boyuan was experienced from beginning to end, so his eyes were full of memories like Liu Zheng.

"Yes, Qingzhou at that time was indeed similar to Linqing now, but there was a big difference, Qingzhou at that time, it can be said that everyone is united and united, everyone in order to survive, all the strength to eat milk has been used, and now although people here in Linqing are also in full swing, but they are in order to make more money!"

Jiang Mingda agreed very much, there was a famine at that time, and he was in it, although he was not affected by the disaster, he had seen what those refugees outside Linzi City were like.

"Wei Lao is right, those people outside Qingzhou City are working hard to build because that is their only hope of survival, and they ......" Jiang Mingda paused slightly, and then stretched out his hand and said: "Even if they don't participate, they can survive, and they participate because of the more wages you give!" ”

Liu Zheng was not only followed by Jiang and Wei at this time, but also Liu Yuniang, Neng Feiyu, Mu Ying, and even Li Tingji, who had been detained in Qingzhou.

Li Tingji was detained in Linqing, not in prison, but thrown to Neng Feiyu and Mu Ying, he has been watching Neng Feiyu and Mu Ying govern Qingzhou, at first he was still full of disdain, standing aside and ignoring it, but he saw a lot, and after staying for a long time, it changed.

Gradually, he began to get involved, from the initial casual pointing, to speaking out his opinions from time to time, to now, he has even dealt with a large mess of official business alone, and it is not a simple official business, but the most important one.

In front of Li Tingji, Neng Feiyu and Mu Ying are really not one, Li Tingji is a Jinshi in the eleventh year of Wanli, not only a Jinshi, but also a Jinshi, or a test for Huiyuan, if it weren't for Shen Shixing, who felt that this guy was not as handsome as Zhu Guozuo, he would be the champion of Wanli for the eleventh year.

Can Feiyu is a master, tell him to compare with a champion, hehe!

Although Mu Ying is also a jinshi, he is a fellow jinshi, and he is so young, he wants to point fingers in front of Li Tingji, so wait for another twenty years.

Although Li Tingji is very disgusted with Liu Zheng, he has a very good eye for Liu Zheng's management of people's livelihood, after all, he is a top talent, he learns things very quickly, and he understands it thoroughly.

The reason why he changed his attitude was because he thought that Liu Zheng was dying by completely giving up the field tax and completely liberalizing industry and commerce, and he would die in a few days, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Zheng not only did not die, but lived more and more nourishing, and the life of the common people became more and more comfortable, and the money in his pocket and the grain in the warehouse were so much that he could be used to feed pigs, chickens and ducks.

So he secretly began to study, planning to return to the court one day, with the intention of serving the emperor, but gradually he let go of this thought, not that he rebelled, but that he felt sad in his heart, and the more he understood it, the more sad he felt in his heart.

Liu Zheng's method of overturning the old system with a stick and establishing a completely new system will not work at all in the imperial court.

If Liu Zheng is put in the imperial court, it will definitely not be the common people who will benefit, but those gentry and nobles.

And what is even more odious is that they will take all the land of the country into their own pockets overnight, and they will not throw a penny into business at all, counting on the commercial tax from their pockets, and dream of it.

It is precisely because he has the deepest understanding of this set of ideas concocted by Liu Zheng and knows the most about the suffering of the people, so he will look at some issues from different angles.

For example, at this moment, Li Tingji spoke: "The words of General Jiang and General Wei, Li dare not agree!" ”

His voice fell, attracting everyone's attention at once, Liu Zheng looked at Li Tingji curiously and said, "Master Li, what do you think, please speak clearly!" ”

Since Li Tingji was detained, Li Tingji learned about a real Liu Zheng from the people around him, and he knew that Liu Zheng didn't like to go around the bush when talking about work.

Liu Zheng doesn't like to go around the bend, so now these people who follow Liu Zheng don't like to go around the bend when they work, what do you say, they always go straight to the bend, if you dare to do this in the court, then the result can only be to sit on the cold bench for a lifetime, but here in Liu Zheng, if you want to go around the bend at work, the result is that you will be fired directly.

This kind of working environment is very appetizing to Li Tingji, and Li Tingji likes it very much, so now he doesn't talk around the corner.

"What Qingzhou was like at the beginning, Li didn't know, but Li was also sent by His Majesty to the disaster area for disaster relief, what was the general situation, Li could still imagine it, and what General Jiang and General Wei said was quite similar to this place, it was even clearer in Li's heart!"

"General Jiang said that that is the only hope for the victims to live, I agree with this, I don't agree with the latter sentence, they ......" Speaking of this, Li Tingji paused slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the people who were working: "What they are doing is also their only hope for survival!" ”

After saying this, seeing that Jiang Mingda, Wei Boyuan and the others were puzzled in their eyes, Li Tingji sighed and continued: "Look at them, they are dressed in tatters, it's not that they are afraid of damaging their clothes and deliberately wearing them like this, but they themselves are a group of poor people!" ”

"Linqing is a commercial metropolis, and the farmers who farm at home are less than one-tenth of the population of Linqing, and the remaining nine-tenths, unless one-tenth of the rich merchants and two-tenths of the workshop owners, the remaining seven-tenths are all coolies!"

"There are different people who are born as coolies, three-tenths of them are skilled people, most of these people work in workshops, and the remaining seven-tenths are real coolie workers, these people have no skills, if they want to live, they can only work hard, but how much money can they earn?"

"The general coolie, a year can have three taels of silver, is already the most, in Linqing one stone rice, the harvest of the year, the price of about one or two three dollars, a year of silver to buy two stones and three buckets of rice, this rice, a family of three is not enough to eat, if there are two and a half children in the family, then these rice, at most half a year's use!"

Speaking of this, Li Tingji stopped, looked at Jiang Mingda and Wei Boyuan, Jiang Mingda and Wei Boyuan also understood what Li Tingji meant at this time, and they both sighed.

Li Tingji looked at Liu Zheng again and said, "General Liu, you give them a salary of one or two silver a month, can they not work hard?" I think what they think in their hearts and the effort they put in should be no worse than those people in Qingzhou at the beginning! ”

Liu Zheng nodded, then sighed and said: "What Master Li said reminds me of Zhang Yanghao in the Yuan Dynasty in "Hillside Goat? Tong Care for the Ancients" said, 'Xing, the people suffer, death, the people suffer'. ”

"It is precisely because I know this sentence that I want to change this world, change this world, and let this world, let this world, not be so miserable as the suffering of the people!"

"If it is prosperous, the people will be bitter, then it is not prosperous, since it is prosperous, then the people must be rich, to live a good life, what is the definition of a good life, not a good life is a good life, a good life is a stable job, a stable income, there is meat on the table when eating, there is money to see a doctor, and there is a son who can let him study and go to school in peace, this is a good life!"

"If you want the people to live a good life, I can't do it alone, I can't just have a good system, I still need good people to implement him, and I need a strong enough army to defend the country!"

"Take the imperial court as an example, the imperial court's army is not strong, and the imperial court's system is not bad, but why is there smoke everywhere now, and there is a famine everywhere?"

"Isn't it because there is a group of silverfish in the court who just want to get promoted and get rich, and it's not because the army is full of a group of bastards who want to eat soldiers' salaries and drink soldiers' blood?"

When Liu Zheng said this, others had nothing in their hearts, but Li Tingji not only had a hot face, but also a heart full of anger and unwillingness.

What happened to Li Tingji, Liu Zheng didn't see it, even if he saw Liu Zheng, he didn't care, he continued: "Think about the Chengzu period, you can send Haiyan Heqing, singing and dancing to promote peace, and then think about it now, why is there such a big gap?" What causes this phenomenon? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zheng stopped, his eyes swept over the people around him one by one, and finally fell on Li Tingji, staring at Li Tingji for a long time before speaking again.

"If you want me to say, the disease lies in the lack of political clarity and political integrity!"
