Yonghe Township, Tangyin County. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A large row of old trees covers filial piety in it, because it is autumn at this time, and the leaves are falling one after another, gradually falling to the ground. But just as it was about to fall, a sudden buzzing wind sounded, and an iron spear, like a dragon soaring into the air, like a spirit snake spitting out its core, danced, rolled up these leaves, and then flew up, and struck a straw man made of hay, accumulating into a pile.

"Okay, Pengju has done my best, in this Tangyin County, no one is your opponent, even I can't be!"

After the gun was collected, someone applauded and praised, Yue Fei wiped his sweat and saluted the man: "Thank you Chen Gong." ”

Known as Chen Gong, his name is Chen Guang, and he is a famous gunman in Zuo Jin. After Zhou Tong's death, Yue Fei lost his famous teacher, and his grandfather Yao Daweng liked his character, so he funded this Chen Guang to teach him marksmanship.

However, although Yue Fei also respects Chen Guang, he is far inferior to Zhou Tong. Chen Guang also knew that his skills were not as good as Zhou Tong's, and both riding and archery were shortcomings, so he hid clumsily and just taught Yue Fei marksmanship. But his gun skills are not better than Zhou Tong's, Yue Fei is smart, and with a little adjustment, now Yue Fei's marksmanship has been passed on.

He glanced at Yue Fei: "Pengju, Zhou Zhizhi over there, do you have anything to say?" ”

Seeing that Yue Fei had done his best, Chen Guang knew that when he resigned, he was a little unwilling in his heart, but he knew that Yue Fei and Zhou Quan, who was known as the God of Living Wealth, were righteous brothers, and Zhou Quan had befriended powerful people in Beijing, and some of them were ways, so let Yue Fei be in the middle, he wanted to invite Zhou Quan to dinner, which could be regarded as a friendship with this big man with his hands and eyes.

"My brother said, you are my teacher, when he invites you, tomorrow he will prepare a little wine, please have a table."

Yue Fei's response made Chen Guangda happy, and it was not in vain that he tried his best to teach Yue Fei the skill of gunning.

After packing up his clothes, Yue Fei confessed to Chen, tied a wine gourd to the barrel of the big gun, and then walked towards the forest step by step with great stability.

Zhou Dong's tomb is in this forest.

After returning from Jeju, Zhou Quan settled in this forest and guarded the tomb of Zhou Dong. Zhou Tong has no children, and his nephew has to do his best, after all, at the beginning, Zhou Tong's help to him is almost irreplaceable. He also needs to be quiet and think carefully about what to do next.

Seeing Yue Fei coming, Zhou Quan put down the quill in his hand: "Pengju, how are you practicing today?" ”

"Master Chen said, I have already surpassed him." Yue Fei responded.

He replied calmly, neither boasting nor being humble, but just plainly speaking, as if he were talking about something very ordinary. Zhou Quan couldn't help but smile, this guy is now thirteen or fourteen years old, and he has entered the rebellious period of his life, so he picked a wine bottle and went around, although Zhou Quan knew that he might not really like to drink.

"I'm ready to leave." The two sat opposite each other, Zhou Quan said.

Yue Fei frowned, thinking that Zhou Quan had been here for a long time, and he was extremely busy, and messengers came over almost every day during these times, and then went everywhere with Zhou Quan's instructions.

He smiled bitterly: "Brother is leaving, I still want my brother to stay for more time and teach me some truth." ”

"Tell you directly, you may not be able to listen, only in the future, you will think more about it." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

He had a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and Zhou Tong had faintly warned that if he did something rebellious in the future, someone would stop him. Zhou Quan thought about it, the only person who could still stop Zhou Dong after his death was Yue Fei, during this time he was guarding Zhou Dong's tomb at the same time, and he also deeply rooted his concept of loyalty and three products in Yue Fei's heart.

No matter how Yue Fei develops in the future, whether he will help him or not, at least a little, I hope he will not embark on the road of foolishness and loyalty again.

"When is my brother going to leave?"

"Tomorrow's feast, the day after tomorrow." Zhou Quan said.

"In such a hurry, could it be that something happened?" Yue Fei was surprised.

Zhou Quan's heart moved.

Instilling the three qualities of loyalty is only the first step, and if you really want Yue Fei to stand on your side, I am afraid that he also needs to have a deeper understanding of the Great Song Dynasty at this time.

Thinking of this, he slowly spoke: "On Tangyin's side, the situation is not yet out of control, but the two roads of Jingdong and the nearby Henan Prefectures are now boiling over!" ”

Yue Fei's heart sank, and the situation that Zhou Quan could call boiling against Yingtian must be extremely critical.

"Why is that?"

"It has something to do with me." Zhou Quan said.

He started from the introduction of the cotton weaving industry, because he continued to pay high prices to invite craftsmen to study the innovation of textile technology, at this time water-powered spinning and water-powered weaving have been extremely developed, which makes the price of cotton cloth although the price is declining, but the profit of cotton cloth is rising year by year. The huge profits brought by cotton cloth have led to the expansion of cotton planting, from only Haizhou, Xuzhou and the surrounding areas in the first two years, to the entire Jingdong two roads, and then to Henan Province.

Those powerful and wealthy people who did not catch up with the cotton cloth chamber of commerce also wanted to get a piece of the pie in this industry, so they forcibly occupied land to grow cotton. This made a large number of yeoman farmers go bankrupt, originally these yeoman farmers still wanted to wait for the autumn harvest and rely on the grain harvested to support the past, but the collusion of the powerful and rich people, the autumn harvest was overharvested, and it could not change the fate of the yeoman farmers.

"It's all Cai Jing's fault, since last year, the on-the-spot Ding Qian Law!" When Yue Fei heard this, he said hatefully.

Zhou Quan's face showed a trace of embarrassment, in fact, the so-called Diding money method was Zhou Quan's idea. There has been no major rift in his relationship with the Cai family so far, and it has a certain relationship with the Ding Qian Law.

Spread into the mu and convert the grain into money, which is the core of the land money method. This incident changed the two-tax system used at this front, which greatly shocked the Song Dynasty and the public. It can be said that if it is not Zhou Quan, it cannot come up with this policy, and if it is not Cai Jing, it cannot do this policy.

"The land money law is not a harm to the people, if it were not for the land money law, the situation of the people today can only be worse." Zhou Quan knew that sooner or later Yue Fei would know about his own policy, in order to avoid mustard in the future, it was better to uncover the matter himself: "This policy is my initiative, Pengju, you see the rich households in the countryside, the population is small and occupies a lot of land, and the poor families have a large number of people and occupy less land. At the same time, if the people do not have acres of land, they do not need to pay this tax, and the poor people who have no land to stand on will not be forced by the tax collectors. ”

"But the exchange of grain for money makes it extremely inconvenient for the people!" Yue Fei was unconvinced.

"It's true that the people have an extra layer of inconvenience, but there is also convenience. In the past, the people paid grain and taxes, and the corrupt officials and officials collected it in a big fight, and the people dared to be angry but could not speak, but now in the conversion of money, there is no difference between the size of the fight, and the people can be less exploited by the corrupt officials and officials. Moreover, this kind of grain, which is transported layer by layer, is often consumed in three out of ten when it is useful in the frontier of Beijing. Now it is converted into copper money, and the money is taxed, and the imperial court then uses this money to buy grain from the grain merchants, only to the ground, and the grain merchants make more money, and they must lose less, last year, the grain merchants transported grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Xizhou, thousands of miles away, the number of losses, but one in ten! Therefore, this policy is a policy for the benefit of the country. ”

When Yue Fei heard this, although he still faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, he stopped talking.

After all, he is still young and has not seen and heard widely, so he does not know that although the people are less exploited by the government, they are more exploited by profiteers. This autumn, there is a bumper harvest in Jingdong, but the people are even poorer, because the profiteers suppress the price of grain, and the people have to pay taxes with money, and they must be stripped of a layer of skin.

"The same is true for politicians, unless everything is done, everything that is done must be wrong, what we can do is to continue to make a difference after making a difference, strive to make fewer mistakes, correct mistakes in time, instead of sitting and talking. I also knew that there would be problems in this matter, so the textile industry was developed first, and those people who lost their land could be transferred to the city, entered the workshop, and had to have a skill, so that they could not worry about food and clothing for their families. This time I went to Jingdong two roads, is to supervise the operation of this matter, Pengju has learned martial arts, you might as well go with me, one can be a companion day and night, and the other can also see the world with your own eyes. ”

Yue Fei hesitated a little, the so-called parents are not far away, and it is one thing to inform Zhou Quan to report the funeral before, but it is another thing to leave home and travel with Zhou Quan again.

"If Pengju is undecided, you can ask your uncle and aunt." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

Yue Fei also felt reasonable, and immediately said goodbye, he returned home, his father Yue He was about to go out to work, and when he saw him rushing to run, he seemed to have something, so he put down his hoe and waited for him to speak.

"Daddy, Brother Quan said that he would take me to Jingdong to see the world." Yue Fei hesitated for a moment, then said directly.

Yue and his people are very generous and benevolent, and they don't like to argue with others, so they smiled slightly when they heard this: "Fei'er, why worry about this, I am in the family, and your mother is under her knees, and there is also a turn." ”

"Exactly, my brother just goes, I am at home!"

In the room, Yue Fei's younger brother Yue Fan stretched out his head and shouted, he is still young, and now he is also learning martial arts, but his talent is not as good as Yue Fei, Zhou Tong said when he was there, it is difficult for him to be like Yue Fei.

"But ......" Yue Fei was still a little reluctant.

"If you go out by yourself, I'm still a little worried, and with my nephew, what else am I worried about?" Yue He said again.

"Mother's ......"

"Pengju, you go to see the world, go through some training, and be loyal to the country in the future, it's too late for your mother to be happy, how can you stop you? You just go by yourself, follow Quan Langjun, and learn some skills! In the courtyard, the voice of mother-in-law Yao also came out.

Yue Fei didn't hesitate any longer, he turned over and knelt down, kowtowed in front of Yue He and Yao, and then turned around and ran back, anxious to report the good news to Zhou Quan.

Yue He smiled: "This kid is a little impatient, Master Zhou died, I originally thought that no one could restrain him, but I never thought that he would be convinced." ”

At this time, the mother-in-law took two steps tighter, came to the door, and looked at Yue Fei's back as he ran away, revealing a reluctant look.

The mother of the child is worried, Yue Fei followed Zhou Quan out to practice, where would she not care. It's just that seeing his son's skills, I don't want him to be delayed in this countryside.

It was Yue Fei's younger brother Yue Tuo, with a look of envy, and he just wished that he could follow his brother and go everywhere to experience and see. (To be continued.) )
