Chapter 929: The Cold Food Festival
Thinking of the horror, Lin Zhenzhong couldn't help but be convinced: "Your Majesty ......"
"I know what you're thinking, it's just that my actions are not in line with the ancestral system. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info hum, ancestral system? If you follow the ancestral system, is it a change of dynasty, and it is also the inheritance of the ancestral system? "Lu Chengqi's words are a bit heart-wrenching, where does Lin Zhenzhong dare to answer?" A gentleman loves money, and it is true that he takes it in the right way, but Lin Qing has ever heard a saying that 'the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility'? I said simply, the officials and businessmen have made all the money, and the people at the bottom have no money, and they are exploited badly. ”
In the center of the forest town said: "Rebel ......"
"The people will rise up against 'tyranny'! When the time comes, the first person to be killed will be you officials and businessmen! Rob the rich and help the poor! Lu Chengqi sneered, "Then my country is about to change hands." If it happens that the grassland people are strong, it is not impossible to enter the Central Plains. When the time comes, it will be trampled by iron horses, and Chinese civilization will not return to its former grandeur, is what you literati want to see? ”
Lin Zhenzhong was speechless, not knowing what to do. It's all because what Lu Chengqi said is an inference based on facts, and he doesn't even know that this is the official history, just the history of another time and space.
After a pause, Lu Chengqi continued: "Taxation is actually a process of robbing the rich and helping the poor. Lao Tzu said: The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency with more loss, but the way of man is not, and the loss is more than enough. This is the truth, and if you want to conform to the way of heaven, you must rob the rich and give to the poor. Taxes, in fact, allow those with more income to take out some of the money to subsidize the non-income, so that the country can continue to exist. If we blindly exploit and enforce harsh government, the people will be miserable, and the result will naturally be a change of dynasty. Lin Qing, I hope you think about it carefully, and if you figure it out, that's good; If you can't figure it out, I don't think you're doing much fun as a household secretary......"
The implication is that if you don't step on the same boat as me, then you better get out of the way as soon as possible, I have someone to take your place. If you dare to say half a word to the outside world, the nine clans will not understand their hatred, and I am afraid that they will have to destroy the ten clans!
Lin Zhenzhong pondered for a long time, and after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he said in a low voice: "I am willing to follow the will of His Majesty!" ”
Lu Chengqi smiled confidently: "Lin Qing, one day, you will feel that this is the most correct thing you have ever done!" ”
Lin Zhenzhong smiled bitterly and said in his heart: "If you get on the thief ship, can you still go down?" It's just that in the future, I will become the target of criticism from my colleagues......"
The literati's party is the same, and Lin Zhenzhong has long understood it. or be a lonely minister like Li Ran and win the trust of the emperor; Either you have to be sleek and sophisticated, and you have to do everything without leakage.
But if the interests of most civil officials are touched, it will definitely end up infamy, and there is absolutely no luck at all.
Lin Zhenzhong finally realized the pain of his master Xu Chongguang at the beginning, and he didn't know how Xu Chongguang survived under the hands of Taishi Yang over the years.
After resigning from the Vertical Arch Palace, Lin Zhenzhong looked sullen, he really wanted to consult Xu Chongguang, but unfortunately Xu Chongguang had already returned to the countryside, and even the house in the capital was sold, and he couldn't find anyone to ask for advice.
Time flies, fleeting.
Under the intensive preparations, Dashun knew that there was going to be a war, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.
All kinds of inconspicuous emergency things on weekdays are sold out of stock. Because the common people have a natural fear of war. Rather be a peace dog than a chaotic person, the pain of the war era has not been forgotten with the prosperity of the times. Even many people who fled back to the Central Plains from the border were preaching how vicious the Khitans were, which cast a shadow on many people's hearts.
It is rumored that Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liao, is also very dissatisfied, and it seems that he who sharpens his sword and Huo Huo also wants to meet with Dashun.
As a result, panic is even greater.
The most direct manifestation of this is the price of food. The people are stepping up their stockpiling of grain, and even after knowing that there is a permanent liquidation, they still feel that it is not very safe. Originally, there was enough grain, but as many people bought it, the price naturally went up. Not only grain, but also all kinds of cotton clothes, dry food, etc., the prices have risen, and even bizarrely, the business of the blacksmith shop has improved a lot.
It turned out that rich people were afraid of death, so they begged the blacksmith shop to make heart guards, iron swords, etc., for a moment of peace of mind.
Fighting armor and standard blades is to be judged as a rebellion, and it is necessary to connect the nine clans. But the heart shield and sword are not in this range.
The sword is a weapon handed down from ancient times, belonging to the "short soldier", known as the "king of a hundred soldiers". As long as the sword body is no more than three feet (that is, more than one meter long in later generations), it is not a standard weapon. And because it is often regarded as a noble ornament. From emperors to literati, they loved to wear swords to show their status. In addition, the sword is also used as a ritual tool, such as in Taoism, where the sword is often used as a magic weapon to subdue demons.
As a gentleman's weapon, the sword is the holy product of the ancients, the supreme and noble, and the people and gods are worshipped. It is the ancestor of short soldiers, the weapon of close combat, and with profound Taoist art, it has entered the legend of Xuan. In fact, because of its lightness, wear, and swiftness, the princes and emperors of the past dynasties, the scribes and knights, and the merchants and the common people are all proud of their perseverance. Sword and art, since ancient times, often crisscross the battlefield, dominate the martial arts, stand up for the country, and act benevolently and righteously. It's just that since the establishment of the Great Shun Dynasty, many martial arts have been banned, which is used by the Buddha and led astray.
In addition, the soldiers from the conscription often used swords and rarely used swords, and there were more and more sabber-bearers than swords. But this time, because the people were afraid of the Khitans, they went to the blacksmith shop to make iron swords, which can be regarded as awakening the blood and courage of the people.
As for the Dashun officials, they are also uneasy.
They were one of the most war-fearing men, more than merchants.
Merchants can still make a fortune in times of war, but once these officials change dynasties, their fate does not know what to do. So in the past few months, Lu Chengqi's desk has been full of exhortations, but they are like a stone sinking into the sea, and all of them have not been released.
In fact, Lu Chengqi knew that the reason why these officials were so concerned was just because they valued the shares they had embezzled.
Don't think that Lu Chengqi doesn't know, now that the collusion between officials and businessmen is very strong, some profiteers would rather give their dry shares to local officials in order to open up the market. Because the means are "hidden" and they are not directly sent money, these officials can also receive it with peace of mind. As everyone knows, it was discovered by the Supervision Department long ago and reported to Lu Chengqi. Lu Chengqi was waiting for an opportunity to eradicate these scum, and now he was brewing.
On this day, winter goes to spring, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the catkins fly all the way. Count the time, it's already the Cold Food Festival.
The Cold Food Festival originated in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Jin Kingdom Jin Wengong, who ordered the mountain to be set on fire in order to force Jiezi to push out the mountain to meet. Jie Zitui resolutely did not go out of the mountain, and was finally burned to death. Jin Wengong was grateful for the will of his loyal ministers, buried him in Mianshan, built a temple, and ordered to ban fire and cold food on the day of Jie Zitui's death to send condolences.
On this day, Su Shi was very prosperous and wrote "Cold Food Post", but suddenly heard that the palace attendants came to the edict and passed it into the palace.
