"Your question is too advanced for me to answer." Liu Zhengqing chuckled, "This is something that the government can only think about, even if we come up with it, you may not be willing to adopt it, you are worried about the country and the people." ”

Chu Feng laughed at himself and shook his head: "It's just a matter of thinking about it casually, and it's time to go online as you said." If you live in a temple, you are worried about the people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about your king. Although I can't reach this level, when I see what is in front of me, I always want to be able to do what I can. Besides, it's just a matter of thinking about it, and as you said, you may not be able to adopt it, so it's a casual use of your brains, so what's the matter. ”

Liu Zhengqing smiled: "Okay, I can't talk about you, but I can't think of these things." ”

Under the eaves of the passing house, a beggar with blue wisps huddled in the corner. On the opposite side, the desperate father is preparing to sell his child.

Liu Zhengqing raised his head, swept over the edge of the umbrella eaves, looked at the gloomy sky, and sighed faintly: "It's all Huashigang, I don't know how many people have been ruined and uprooted from their hometowns, natural disasters and man-made disasters will always be very bad." ”

The matter of Hua Shigang, people who have watched "Water Margin" will naturally know something.

Song Huizong loved flowers, birds, and strange stones, when Cai Jing was in power, in order to please Huizong, and a large number of these things were expropriated across the country, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't know how many things like Taihu Lake stones were looted away, and the states and counties were countless.

Of course, some people will also find it strange why just collecting some exotic flowers and stones from the people would cause such a big disaster.

Actually, there are two ways to look at it. First, "if there is something good at the top, it will be very good at the bottom", and the things that the emperor likes are vigorously searched by the prime minister, so in the eyes of the local officials below, this is not just something to please the emperor, but a major matter that they regard as a political achievement. As a result, not only the ownerless stones in the field and in the lake, but also the stone forests and rockeries that have been placed in many people's homes are often used as objects of looting by officials. Judging from the cases recorded in the history books, there are countless examples of officials taking a fancy to a stone in someone's house and digging three feet into the ground, or even because the stone is too big to pass through the gate, and simply and rudely demolishing the door wall of other people's homes.

Second, in this era, there are no trains and highways, although the system of the whole society is constantly improving, but the means of transportation in the real sense are still at a very low level. From Jiangnan to Kaifeng, basically only by horse-drawn carriages or ships, and the transportation of such large objects as Huashigang is basically an impossible task to be completed by land, and can only rely on water transportation. But the flowers and birds looted in the south of the Yangtze River are good to say, once it comes to big objects like Taihu Lake stone...... To tell the truth, even after a thousand years, it will take a lot of twists and turns to transport a piece of Taihu Lake stone from south to north, let alone during the Northern Song Dynasty. It is even recorded in the history books that in order to transport a huge Taihu Lake stone, a boat was even built according to the size and draft of the stone, and it can be seen how much it costed.

In the "History of the Song Dynasty", it is said that the disaster of Huashigang has poisoned the prefecture and county for 20 years.

I am afraid that the impact is much more powerful than the imagination of later generations.

Man-made disasters like Hua Shigang, coupled with natural disasters, caused by natural disasters, were displayed in front of Chu Feng's eyes like this.

He suddenly felt a little lost, there was nowhere to apply what he had learned in books, and the original obsession with calligraphy and painting in his heart also sent out a root of doubt from his heart.

Chu Fengshang did not see the scene of starvation all over the wilderness, nor did he see the picture of Lu Shen in Shenzhou. But the things in front of him, these people and things, have made him feel the heaviness and frivolity of life.

What kind of things should be filled with a life that can be simply and easily extinguished?

Chu Feng was a little confused and a little puzzled.

"If it weren't for Hua Shigang's matter, my family wouldn't have ......" Liu Zhengqing then sighed, and when he said so, he stopped abruptly.

Chu Feng saw Liu Zhengqing's gradually frowning brows, like deep folds on the Taihu Lake stone, so deep that it almost broke a hole.

"That's it!" Liu Zhengqing waved his sleeves almost indifferently, "Don't mention it." ”

Chu Feng's heart jumped twice, he remembered some of the fur that Liu Zhengping had said to him, plus Liu Zhengqing's scattered words now...... Anyway, it can basically be concluded that the two brothers are probably because of the matter of Hua Shigang, and they have become what they are now.

The money that Liu Zhengping asked him to hand over before, Chu Feng said that it was a reward given by the government to the top performers in the township examination, and it was handed over to Liu Zhengqing. It's just that this excuse is naturally self-defeating after Liu Zhengqing chatted with other peers. Liu Zhengqing is a smart person and probably knows the origin of this money. He didn't seem to put Chu Feng in the embarrassing situation between their brothers, so he didn't say much, just silently thought that the next time he saw Liu Zhengping, he would return the money to him.

Chu Feng is not good at dealing with other people's contradictions...... To be honest, he doesn't even handle his own interpersonal relationships well, let alone other people's. But in terms of his contact with the two brothers, he always felt that these two were not bad people, and the estrangement between the two was probably more misunderstandings and the like, if he could help anything, Chu Feng still wanted to do his best.

Stopping like this, it is estimated that the contradiction must be inseparable from the Huashi Gang. Liu Zhengqing's stubborn temperament, it is really not easy to ask from him, if you can see Liu Zhengping next time, it is better to ask him.

Chu Feng thought so.

"You go to Mr. Cheng Yuan's place tomorrow, don't forget to help me bring it."

The two talked as they walked, and after a short time they returned to the gate of Lu's calligraphy and painting shop.

Liu Zhengqing said: "If possible, it is best to let Mr. Cheng Yuan move back to the city." Once a disaster year occurs, bandits are rampant in the countryside, and Mr. Cheng Yuan has no caretaker around him, in case something happens, it will be called more than worth the loss. In addition, the river outside is also flooding, and if there is a flood discharge from the upstream side, the river may be suddenly diverted. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Mr. Cheng Yuan should not be such an inflexible person, right? ”

Chu Feng also felt that his words were reasonable, and nodded: "Yes, I will definitely persuade tomorrow." Mr. Wen Duan also said the same, and always let Mr. Cheng Yuan go into the city to live together, and the two of them can also chat with each other and discuss and discuss. It's just that Mr. Cheng Yuan has always been afraid of being disturbed by others, and now the excuse for this flood is also an opportunity. ”

Liu Zhengqing glanced at the door of Lu's calligraphy and painting shop, and gradually laughed: "At this time, in fact, Mr. Cheng Yuan doesn't have to worry about this kind of problem at all. In our Hangzhou City, who doesn't know that you Chu Feng is the guy who is in the limelight. Those who ask for words and paintings are coming to you, as for Mr. Cheng Yuan...... Haha, to put it mildly, it's an old antique now! ”

Chu Feng looked back, and sure enough, he saw five or six people gathered in the store, and they were greeted by Brother Zhang, but they didn't seem to have any intention of buying and selling calligraphy and paintings, just drinking tea, chatting, and waiting for people.

With a helpless wry smile, Chu Feng sighed and shook his head: "I somewhat understand Mr. Cheng Yuan's distress, it is indeed a very hard thing to come to the door day and night to ask for calligraphy and painting." ”

"Haha! You bad guy! Liu Zhengqing said with a smile, "How many people in the world want such a reputation, but you are frowning because of your suffering, which is really resentful." But this is also something that can't be helped, who let the piano girl of the Yuefang praise your calligraphy and painting, and the Fan family gave you face again, and sold your "Smoke and Rain Broken Bridge" for a high price! Even the two adults, Zhizhou and Tongju, helped you build momentum and occasionally praised a few words. This kind of praise, even if you don't learn and don't know how to do it, you will be a smash hit, let alone a guy like you who really learns to be rich and rich! Ha ha! It's rare to see you show helplessness because of something, and I have a pleasant feeling to see you like this! Amazing! Joy! When the float is white! ”

Chu Feng said helplessly: "Brother Liu, you are basing your happiness on the pain of others, which is very bad. ”

"Then I don't care, this rare fun, you can still drive me away!" Liu Zhengqing smiled and said, "Come on, go in!" I see that the beads of sweat on Brother Zhang's head are about to drip down, if you don't go over to deal with it, be careful that Brother Zhang doesn't give you food today! ”

Chu Feng also smiled when he heard this, and asked, "Why don't you leave for dinner?" ”

"No," Liu Zhengqing shook his head and said goodbye with a smile, "The inner family has prepared a meal at home." ”

"Say hello to my sister-in-law." Chu Feng said with a smile.

Seeing Liu Zhengqing leave, Chu Feng turned around and entered the door, and stood by the door with his umbrella closed.

"Brother Zhang, I'm back." Chu Feng smiled slightly.

"Oops! Chu Langjun! You're back! This is Qi Langjun, who said that it was Zhang Langjun's old hometown, and he had been waiting for a long time...... There are also these two, who came all the way from Shangyu, and specially visited Chu Langjun and wanted to ask for a word...... Oh, by the way, there is this one, who said it was the birthday of the old man in the family......"

Soon, Chu Feng was surrounded by enthusiastic people and started the day's work with a smile.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhang's old man, and he has admired him for a long time. Brother Zhang, how are you doing these days? I heard that there was some bone pain before, and I used medicine, but I don't know if it is better now? ”

"The two of you came all the way from Shangyu, it's really hard. In fact, I am only shallow in the next class, and there are not too many things that can be handled, and the two of you are afraid that you will be disappointed. ”

"Oh, birthday? Write a congratulatory post, right? Or what? What are the specific requirements? ”

“……”

The taste of busyness gradually unfolded in Lu's calligraphy and painting shop.

Outside, the rain continued, and the haze in the sky didn't know when it would really dissipate.

Some people embroider the dressing mirror, and some people mourn the death of their families.

There are disasters, or there are no slaughters, all of this is happening all the time.

Thousands of years ago, or 10,000 years from now, these things will never change.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, pen and ink articles, firewood, rice, oil and salt, resentment, love and separation, and can't ask for ...... Everything goes on, and as long as life continues, all of this will not stop.
