In ancient times, the traffic was very slow, and the fastest way to get through it was horseback riding, and it was said that the fastest horse was 800 miles a day.

Liang Hong and Wang Shouren are in this line, but they can't reach this speed. Guizhou to the capital, thousands of miles, they want to finish, to say the least, it will take a month, not to mention that they are still dragging their families, which is even slower.

But fortunately, Guiyang is adjacent to the Wujiang River, and they directly take a boat down the river, and it is comfortable to travel.

Liang Hong was like a nouveau riche because he got five hundred taels of gold from the blue phoenix, and Wang Shouren was the second generation of officials, and he was not short of money, so the two chartered a boat and hired two captains.

The ship looks small from a distance, in fact, the internal space is really not small, there are four or five houses in the cabin, Liang Hong's family of three occupies the largest one, Wang Shouren lives in one, two captains live in one, and the rest is the kitchen and warehouse room.

After departure, they spent several days floating on the water, only occasionally leaning on the pier to make up for it, and Liang Hong and Wang Shouren had a lot of time together.

During this time, the two talked a lot, often drinking and chatting together at the bow of the boat until midnight.

Through the conversation with Wang Shouren, Liang Hong is clear about the general trend of the world today, and Wang Shouren is more and more impressed with Liang Hong, why? Because of a lot of this guy's modern thoughts, Wang Shouren was stunned. Wang Shouren himself is a very innovative person, so he does not reject Liang Hong's novel views, and is even willing to accept them.

"Big brother, what did you mean by the separation and centralization of the four powers that you told me yesterday? Can you elaborate on that? ”

"The so-called four powers, that is, political power, military power, judicial power, and supervision power," Liang Hong held wine in Linjiang, and there was nothing to do, so let's give Wang Shouren a good lesson. His insight may not be profound, but it is this vague sense of outline that just grasps the key points, omits the details, and happens to be the concept of the outline, which is very inspiring to Wang Shouren, "The regime is very simple, it is the government's functions and powers, and if you refine it, it is equivalent to the functions of the household department, but the household department is too general, and when you refine it, it should actually be divided into the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Road Administration, the Ministry of Water Administration, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Culture and Education, the Ministry of Medical Administration, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and so on." These are the foundations of the state and require a lot of manpower to manage them. ”

"Technology? What is technology? Wang Shouren touched his head, not knowing why.

Liang Hong smiled and did not explain, but continued: "Military power is divided into the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Armament, the Ministry of Military Affairs is in charge of the command, logistics, recruitment, equipment, training and so on of the national army, while the Ministry of Armament is responsible for local security and obeys the dispatch and management of the Ministry of Law and Politics. ”

"Ministry of Justice?" Wang Shouren was puzzled.

"The Ministry of Justice is part of the judicial power, including the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Prosecutor. As for the supervisory power, it is the state supervision organ, which is responsible for supervising all functional departments, such as the formalization of the rule of law, whether the situation of fiscal expenditure is in accordance with the norms, and so on. Liang Hong said this, smiled and said: "However, no matter how these powers are divided, in the final analysis, there must be a strong central power, otherwise, such a large country, independent affairs, it is very difficult to command." So, the emperor is the de facto supreme leader of all departments. Only in this way can the unity of government decrees be ensured. ”

Wang Shouren was fascinated for a while when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Big brother? Is this really what will happen in the future? How does Big Brother know what's next? ”

Liang Hong smiled and said: "Actually, I don't know this, I'm just guessing, these are just some things in my heart." ”

Wang Shouren suddenly realized, but he was a little puzzled: "Big brother, many of your ideas are really shocking, but there are some things that the younger brother really doesn't agree with, such as the one that encourages industry and commerce, let me ask, if the people go to business, then who will farm the land?" Once there is no one to farm the land and the food supply is not available, will the country not be in crisis? ”

"That's because the current population is too small, and when the land is not enough to plant, there is naturally a need for someone to engage in business and let the products of various places circulate. In addition, the duty of the state, in addition to defending the country and managing the people, is more important to create jobs," Liang said.

"Employment?" Wang Shouren didn't know why.

"To put it simply, it is to let everyone have a job, and if there is a job, there will be a pay, and there will be a life to rely on. And if you have a job to do, you won't be idle and be a traitor, which is a great tool for resolving social contradictions," Liang Hong said.

"Oops," Hearing this, Wang Shouren suddenly realized, patted his thigh and said: "No mistake, as long as everyone has a job, whether it is farming, business, or playing tricks, in short, as long as life is settled, people's hearts will be stable." The eldest brother saw this, it can be said that he hit the nail on the head, and he is really a god! ”

Wang Shouren held the wine glass and toasted Liang Hong, and threw himself to the ground in admiration for Liang Hong.

"It's a pity that it is definitely not an overnight thing to do this, especially in such a historical period," Liang Hong sighed softly in his heart, raised his eyes and looked at the vast river, and had some vague thoughts in his heart. What if I could change the world?

Forget it, don't think about it, after all, a person's strength is too weak, and it is important to live a wonderful life.

However, Wang Shouren was extremely curious about Liang Hong's opinions, pestering Liang Hong every day, and tirelessly inquiring, until even Liang Hong was helpless by him, showing an impatient look, and he relented.

The time was very fast, and unconsciously traveled to the Hunan area, and in the evening of this day, the boat was sent by the riverside, and Liang Hong and others were ready to go ashore for a walk.

As a result, what they didn't expect was that at this moment, they heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the shore, and then they saw a thin old man, dressed as a Taoist priest, carrying a long sword at his waist, and leading a group of disciples to ride a horse along the river, looking very urgent.

"Yu Canghai, don't you want to see my Lin family's evil sword technique? I'll show you! ”

The old man and his entourage just ran out not far away, behind a man and a woman two fast horses chasing, immediately the young man dressed in a gorgeous costume, knife face, look extraordinarily beautiful, is holding a sword to the old man in front of the party shouted, look extremely excited, and the woman next to him, holding the cloud sideburns, a red makeup, seems to have just been married, that look is really I see pity, slightly frowning eyebrows, skin pigment white as jade, eyebrows and eyes delicate, invisibly always with a sorrow, people look very heartwarming. The woman also carries a long sword around her waist, and she seems to be a practitioner.

At that time, hearing the young man's shout, Liang Hong was almost instantly stunned, and immediately understood that this man and woman, if nothing else, should be Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan, and they should be chasing Yu Canghai, the head of the Qingcheng faction.

This is the plot in Xiaoao Jianghu, Liang Hong remembers it very clearly. By the way, according to the plot of the novel, during this time period, Ling Hu Chong and Ren Yingying, as well as a group of nuns from the Hengshan faction, should be following Lin Pingzhi and them, where are they now?

Liang Hong didn't pay attention to Lin Pingzhi and them, but looked behind them, and the face that was angry, sad and happy unconsciously appeared in his mind.

Can I really see Ren Yingying again?

"Let's go together, I don't believe you can't kill this thief!"

Just when Liang Hong was in a daze, Yu Canghai and the others turned around to meet Lin Pingzhi, more than a dozen horsemen surrounded Lin Pingzhi to fight, and four more people surrounded Yue Lingshan.

This Lin Pingzhi is really powerful, a long sword, sitting on a horse, waving left and right, the sword light flashes, the shot is extremely fast, it is almost impossible to see the moves, and the disciples of the Qingcheng faction have been stabbed to death in a few moments.

The situation on Yue Lingshan's side was not very good, her mount was stabbed, she could only fight on foot, surrounded by four or five Qingcheng sect disciples, retreated to the water's edge, and almost fell into the water.

"Big brother, these people are fighting each other privately, I think it should be some martial arts strongmen, let's not stay longer, so as not to be affected." When Wang Shouren saw those people, he frowned and said to Liang Hong.

Liang Hongyi was stunned and said: "You are from the government, and you are a post officer, speaking of which, you also have the responsibility of being responsible for public security, when you see these people fighting, why don't you stop it, but think about running away?" ”

"Big brother doesn't know, these martial arts strongmen have never been subject to the control of the government, they have their own rules. What's more, they are all strong in martial arts, and with only the younger brother, they can't manage it even if they want to, and maybe they will give their lives in vain. Wang Shouren's face was full of bitterness.

No wonder there are only martial arts people in the novel, and the government is completely transparent, it turns out that it is not that the official historical characters have not met these martial arts people, but that the two are completely different worlds, and they will be avoided after encountering, and there is no intersection at all, so there is no story.

But Liang Hong doesn't think so now.

"The world is so big, it is not the king's land, as long as the people who stay in this land are the people of the country, what martial arts strongmen, their own rules, this is nonsense," Liang Hong glanced at Wang Shouren and said: "I think if you want to establish that ideal society, the first thing to be subdued is these martial arts strongmen who fight and kill all day long!" ”

While Liang Hong was talking, dozens of fast horses came on the road, and there was a carriage in between.

Here it comes!

Seeing this situation, Liang Hong didn't know why, but he was a little excited, and subconsciously stepped onto the shore.

"Big brother, don't-" Seeing Liang Hong go ashore, Wang Shouren had no choice but to follow off the boat.

"Abba-" At this time, Xiao Yu'er and Bai Xiu'er in the cabin also stretched out their heads to look, and when they saw so many people fighting on the shore, they were naturally full of fear and worry.

Liang Hong looked back at them, told them not to worry, and then continued to look at the dozens of horsemen behind, and immediately saw the curtain of the carriage lifted, and then two figures appeared inside, the first one was a young knight in his twenties, but he had bandages on his shoulders, and his face was also very pale, and he seemed to be seriously injured.

This should be Linghu Chong, Liang Hong subconsciously looked at him twice, and found that this person was not ugly or handsome, his eyebrows and eyes were general, his nose was straight, his chin was a little pointed, and his lips were moderately thick.

After reading Ling Hu Chong, Liang Hong looked behind him with hopeful eyes, expecting to see Ren Yingying, but he didn't want to see a man with a fat head and big ears and an ugly face.
