A carriage with more than a dozen guards on horseback galloped from Luoyang to Quanzhou, Jia Fu opened the curtain of the carriage, and sighed to Sima Zhao and Liu Sheng in the car: "This carriage is better than taking a boat, we can still see the scenery along the way, it's really happy."

"It's still a view, I remember someone, it's like seasickness." Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu who was intoxicated, and remembered that in the morning, he originally planned to take a boat directly to Quanzhou. But not long after the boat departed, Jia Fu was so seasick that he had no choice but to take a carriage instead.

Sima Zhao also remembered Jia Fu's dead face, and asked them to change to the appearance of riding in a carriage, and couldn't help but smile and quipped: "Jia Fu, I feel that taking a boat is more charming, or we will change to a boat now."

"It's not good, it's not good to take a boat at all. It is surrounded by endless rivers. How can it be so good to make a carriage, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way. Now the autumn harvest is imminent, and the fruit is abundant. Wouldn't it be beautiful for us to see together." When Jia Fu heard Sima Zhao's suggestion to continue on the boat, he hurriedly shook his head and joked, Master, I don't want to be fainted to death.

Hearing that Jia Fu had a beautiful ending, Liu Sheng couldn't help but laughed: "It's still beautiful, it's beautiful, it seems that you are more and more cultivated now."

"If you don't say the word beautiful, how can you reflect the beauty of the autumn harvest outside the car." Jia Fu shook his head as he spoke, as if there was a boundless beauty beyond the carriage.

Sima Zhao saw Jia Fu shaking his head, and he didn't know what Jia Fu was thinking at this time: "I think your beauty is fake, and it's true that you don't want to take a boat." Don't really say it, you're pretending to be like it."

"Ahh What is the charm of being bare". Liu Sheng followed the curtain opened by Jia Fu and looked out of the carriage. What a beautiful view there is, it's clearly a bit desolate.

When Jia Fu heard Liu Sheng's inquiry, he smiled embarrassedly and quibbled: "The ancients said that if the heart is beautiful, then it is beautiful everywhere, and vice versa." It seems that Brother Sheng'er, your heart is not beautiful at all."

"Where is the beauty here, I see you as talking nonsense with your eyes open." Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu angrily, wasn't he complaining about himself in disguise? .

Sima Zhao looked outside, and thoughtfully agreed with what Jia Fu had just said: "A good sentence of beauty is beautiful everywhere, and now the world of the Great Zhou is full of flowers, but I am afraid that the prosperous era is coming."

"How do you conclude that prosperity is coming?" Liu Sheng heard Sima Zhao's words, and there was silence for a while. For a long time, he was full of deep meaning, and asked.

Sima Zhao heard Liu Sheng's inquiry, and explained without thinking: "Now the household department has begun to have a surplus, and at the same time, various localities are actively changing the law, and the effect is remarkable. Isn't this a harbinger of prosperity?"

"I'm curious about how the surplus of the household department came from. As far as I know, no matter how the law is changed. In a short period of time, it is impossible to appear, and the effect is very obvious. The ancients said that if things are abnormal, there will be demons." When Liu Sheng heard Sima Zhao's answer, he simply didn't hide it and asked directly.

Sima Zhao was stunned when asked, no matter how he changed the law, it was impossible. In a short period of time, the results are very significant. Is this the case? But how can the accounts in his hands be false? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you ignorant of those laws?" There is also real money and food in the household, can it be faked?"

"There is no one of those laws, not for the benefit of the country and the people. But don't you feel that the household department has money and food now. It's a lot more than it used to be." Liu Sheng heard Sima's series of rhetorical questions, and couldn't help but shake his head and ask rhetorically.

Sima Zhao slowly seemed to come back to his senses, and when he remembered those regulations, there seemed to be no problem: "For example, the Qingmiao Law, the disaster in Jiangnan has just subsided last year. The victims returned home empty-handed, so they could only find the black market and borrow money at usurious rates. At this time, the imperial court implemented this law, lending money to the people at low interest rates, and the people had the money to restore the wasteland. The imperial court had both interest and taxes. At the same time, the people can reduce their burdens, which is not a double win, but a good way to govern the country."

"Having said that, but Sima Zhao, you are from a poor family, so you won't know the doorway inside. Those black market lenders, who are the specific people, how can you not understand in your heart. They and the local officials are more or less inextricably linked and entangled in interests. By doing this, you will touch this group." Liu Sheng couldn't help but analyze Sima, hoping that what he guessed was wrong.

When Sima Zhao heard Liu Sheng's analysis, he began to reflect, and then shook his head: "It doesn't matter that they are all small characters who can't make waves." can't stop it, change the general trend".

"They are small players for the court, but they are big people for the local people. Although they did not dare to oppose the decree of the imperial court, you must know that this decree was carried out by them, so they couldn't do something about it. You can bring it to justice, but what can you do if all such people in the world start doing this? Is it not possible to destroy the foundation of self-destruction". Liu Sheng heard Sima Zhao's indifferent words, and couldn't help but ask.

Jia Fu shook his head after hearing this, it was a joke to bring all the people to justice: "If the law does not hold the people accountable, how can it be all brought to justice." When encountering only things, you can only grasp the typical and make an example of the monkey."

"It's useless to make an example of chickens and monkeys, because the court is cutting off their financial routes. If they don't, how can they survive." Liu Sheng heard Jia Fu say that he was killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, and shook his head at him to explain.

Sima Zhao shook his head, and vaguely felt in his heart that this was reasonable: "This kind of thing should have been banned." Could it be that the imperial court still wants to find a way out for these people? Wang An included the change in the evaluation of officials, and it seems that he thought of what you said. As long as the officials conscientiously enforce the law, will those errand servants dare to rebel?"

"Errand? They just follow the trend. Most of the people who really lend money on the black market are officials and large local households. The court cut off their financial routes, and you think they will give up." When Liu Sheng saw Sima Zhao, he couldn't help but express his worries when he saw Sima Zhao.

After listening to this, Jia Fu looked at Liu Sheng with some doubts: "Brother Sheng, Wang An included the change in the promotion assessment of officials, isn't it just forcing officials to seriously enforce the law." As long as the officials do their best, the local big families will not be afraid in front of the imperial court."

"I am afraid that local officials and local big households will collude with each other and let the people in the big households lend the money from the imperial court at low interest, and then at a higher interest. Forced loans, which were not needed in the first place, the people who took out loans. In this way, the officials gain political achievements, and the big families and the court all benefit, but the people suffer." Liu Sheng remembered the Northern Song Dynasty reform in another time and space, one of the drawbacks, isn't that it? Could it be that today's Great Zhou is also inevitable to go to this road of no return.

When Sima Zhao heard this, a concentration suddenly rose in his heart, not necessarily like this: "This is all your guess, I don't dare to agree at this time."

"Whether it is or not, we will always see it when we go to Quanzhou this time. I also hope that those speculations are wrong, but I can't, lie to my heart." Liu Sheng sighed in his heart when he saw Sima Zhao's incessant denial. He actually felt in his heart that this was true, but he didn't want to accept it yet. Just like myself at this time, if you don't see it with your own eyes, there will always be a trace of fantasy,

At this moment, Yihun ran quickly to the carriage from the front, and announced loudly outside the carriage: "There is a village in front of Gongzi, should we go in and rest for the night."

"Today, after a day of travel, we will go to the village in front of us for the night, and everyone can rest for the night." When Liu Sheng heard Yihun's report, he looked at the sky from the car window, and saw that it was dusk at this time, so he hurriedly agreed. When the coachman heard this, he whipped his horse, struck it the horse's back, and galloped forward after Yihun. (To be continued.) )
