Chapter 766: How can I do it? Not at all
The journey is long, so long that everyone feels a little bored. And the soldiers who were marching all the way to the northeast along the official road were enjoying this boring day. Bland, unremarkable, every day except eating and sleeping is walking, this kind of life is very boring, but only people who have experienced life and death will know how precious this dull and boring life is.
The soldiers can talk while walking, talk about the future, talk about ideals, talk about their relatives in their hometowns, and talk about local customs. It's really nice to have a day when there's no war, even if it's cold, even if everyone has two popsicles hanging from under their noses.
On the carriage at the front of the baggage camp, three bored guys were seen lying on the sacks of grain and grass almost every day.
The ripping is boundless, and the pulling is also very interesting.
"Guan Xiaoshu, how old are you this year?"
Wang Qinian asked.
"Twenty"
"At the same age as a flower, look at your child is not bad, I have a daughter in my family who should also be married, let's talk directly, and we don't have to find any matchmakers, what's the matter, are you interested in recognizing me as an old man?"
Wang Qinian said with a smile, the chrysanthemum folds on his face were blooming brilliantly: "It's not that I'm bragging, the person who wants to marry my old Wang family's daughter is like a carp crossing the river." You have to think about it, after this village, there will be no such shop. ”
"Don't you have a mother-in-law?"
Guan Xiaoshu asked in surprise.
"If you don't have a mother-in-law, you can't have a daughter?"
Wang Qinian glanced at Guan Xiaoshu.
"Your daughter...... Whatever you want? ”
Guan Xiaoshu asked tentatively.
"Of course, Lao Tzu's seed will naturally follow me."
Guan Xiaoshu shuddered, shook his head resolutely and said, "Since the eldest husband has joined the army to kill the enemy, he naturally has to establish a career before talking about his children's personal affairs. If you don't have a career, how can you support your family? In life, when you are in the world, you should lift the three-foot green peak and kill the enemy before the battle. Fame but take it right away, that...... I'm still young. ”
"Haha"
Wu Bushan's tears of laughter flowed out: "Lao Wang, you have found the wrong person." Wan Fat Man has been thinking about your daughter, if you find Wan Fat Man, he will definitely follow your wishes. ”
"Lao Tzu will not obey to death!"
Wang Qinian scolded angrily: "If that bastard were to be my uncle, Lao Tzu would have to die ten years early." ”
Wu Bushan shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't mention your daughter's business, you see that the wind is beautiful today, why do you always mention this stormy thing?" Let's talk about something interesting, let's talk about the past of the lord. I heard that when I was in Liaodong, the lord only brought seventeen people to kill the Goguryeo people who cried for their father and mother. You know this, tell us about it. ”
"Wu Baimian, why are you so broken now? It's like an old lady, you know to inquire about this and that all day long. ”
"Don't say it."
Wu Bushan glanced at him: "Let's go to Hebei with the army this time, and when we get to the place, I'm afraid that it will already be the first month." The day after tomorrow is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I don't know if it will improve the food. ”
When he finished saying this, Wu Bushan suddenly noticed that there was a man with a scar on his face sitting in the third carriage behind. It seems that the man has grown up, but he is so thin that he almost takes off his human form.
"That guy is from your baggage camp?"
Wu Bushan asked.
"The army came after the march and was seriously wounded on the day of the decisive battle in Xiangyang City. I don't know if it hurt my brain, and I don't even remember who I am. Because his leg was lame, he was sent to my baggage camp to do his work. What can he do like that? When I get to the place where our Yan Yunjun is in Tuntian, I will leave him and give him a thick sum of silver, which is enough for him to be lazy and lazy for the rest of his life. ”
"It's a poor man."
Wu Bushan nodded, and couldn't help but look at the man a few more times.
Although he was separated by a carriage, he couldn't see the man's face and expression clearly. But Wu Bushan always felt that person was a little sluggish, as if he had no soul.
"War always takes a lot of people to suffer."
Guan Xiaoshu sighed and said: "I just hope that the lord will calm Hebei as soon as possible, and after Dou Jiande is destroyed, the world will be decided." When the time comes, there will be no war, there will be no fighting, everyone will have clothes to wear, and everyone will have food. ”
"That's right."
Wang Qinian leaned back, lay on the carriage and said: "There will always be a day when the war ends, and then Lao Tzu will go back to his hometown." Build a big house, buy a large piece of land, and become a rich man. Anyway, Lao Tzu also has the title of county marquis, and when the time comes, he will be a first-class big man in my hometown. I said Guan Xiaoshu, can you think clearly, I can still lose you if I am my uncle? ”
"The weather is so nice."
Guan Xiaoshu stretched his waist and said, "I talked too much, and I broke my tongue...... I'll sleep for a while, and I'll sleep for a while......"
Wu Bushan smiled and subconsciously glanced at the third carriage. He found that the scar-faced soldier was also lying down, holding a small wooden stick in his hand and stabbing it into the air seemingly indiscriminately.
He turned his gaze to the front of the line.
……
……
The carriage shook slightly, and the carriage was very comfortable, and the weather was very good, so Li Xian, who was leaning on the carriage to read, was a little sleepy. Ye Huaixi, who was sitting on his side, pulled the thin quilt over from the side and covered Li Xian's body.
Li Xian opened his eyes and looked at it, and then smiled: "I've been idle for the past few days, and I'm really getting lazy and lazy." ”
"Sir is just too tired, it's better to sleep for a while. Anyway, there is nothing urgent about these days, just enough to take a break. ”
Li Xian made himself more comfortable on the carriage, and pulled the thin quilt on his lap: "I told you about the grassland just now, and I wanted to ask you." Why aren't you anxious at all after hearing this? ”
"Sir, it's useless for me to be in a hurry."
Ye Huaixi poured a cup of tea for Li Xian and handed it over respectfully: "My sister said, I just need to learn the skills if I stay with you, sir." She will do things on the grassland, I believe in my sister, she said that she will come to pick me up, and she will definitely come to pick me up. Sir, you said that worrying meaninglessly will only mess with your mind. ”
Li Xian shook his head, but didn't say anything.
Ye Huaixi sat on the side, hung his head and continued to look at the art of war. Since he went north, he has been waiting in Li Xian's carriage during the day to listen to lectures, and will leave at night to return to his carriage. Ever since Li Xian locked him in a dark room in Chang'an City, he gradually got used to sleeping alone. It's a small thing, but there's no doubt that it's growth.
"If you go back to the grasslands, the grasslands are devastated...... What would you do? ”
Li Xian asked after being silent for a while.
"Sir said that governing the world is nothing more than supporting the people."
Ye Huaixi put down the book in his hand, sat up straight and said, "As long as the people are well fed and clothed, people will be at ease." Even if you are devastated, it will only take three or five years to recover. ”
"Speaking of which, it is nothing more than benevolent government."
He replied earnestly.
"You have a special status, if one day someone knows the truth. Even if you give benefits to the people and generosity to your officials, you may not be able to avoid a dispute. Are you ready for that day? ”
Ye Huaixi stretched out a hand: "Give the courtiers leniency." ”
Stretch out another hand: "Hold on to the military power." ”
"If someone really doesn't accept it, then kill until it is served."
"You're going to have to hide it for at least twenty years."
Li Xian said.
Ye Huaixi was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "Maybe it won't take twenty years." ”
Li Xian was stunned, smiled and did not speak. He thought that Ye Huaixi just didn't understand, but he didn't notice the difference in Ye Huaixi's words.
"Sir, the rebellion in the Central Plains began with the chaos of the gate valves. I have consulted many people, and they all say that when the Great Sui Dynasty was first established, the officials ruled the Qing Dynasty and the people were rich. Looking at the world, the Great Sui after the destruction of Nanchen should be the first great country. Everyone says that the Great Sui will have a solid foundation that will not be broken for 10,000 years, why will it die out in just a few decades? Is there really no cure for the rebellion? ”
"It's a rule."
Li Xian thought for a while and said: "It is difficult for any country to break out of the law, but sometimes the cycle is slower, and sometimes the cycle is faster. At the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, I have to say that Yang Jian was a good emperor. If the officials are well governed, the people's customs will be good. But when the troubled times ended, hundreds of officials lived in peace and did not think of danger, only thinking about their own interests, and ignoring the people of the country. Then the chaos will inevitably arise again, if the roots are rotten, even if the emperor is virtuous, there is no way, not to mention that Yang Guang is sometimes unbelievably confused. ”
"Governing the country, two roots."
Li Xian stretched out two fingers and said, "One is for the people, and the other is for the officials." ”
"At the beginning of being an official, they are often sympathetic to the people's feelings, diligent and thrifty, the country is naturally strong, and the people naturally live in peace. But the officials at the beginning of the founding of the country are old and retired, and the officials who are re-selected are their descendants, and this second group of officials, they have not experienced wars, have not endured hardships, and are impetuous, and they will gradually get lost in power and find it difficult to extricate themselves. ”
"Power can make profits."
Li Xian said: "The Great Sui Rebellion is because those who are in power only see the interests of their own families, but cannot see the interests of the people of the country. In fact, the people's requirements for life are extremely low, and they actually don't have much disgust with officials being greedy for silver, but they are disgusted that they are greedy for money and don't do things for the people. ”
"Over time, people's minds have changed."
Ye Huaixi thought for a long time, and after understanding what Li Xian meant, his face changed: "Sir, is it saying that no country can escape this law?" ”
Li Xian shook his head: "It's difficult. ”
"Is there a way sir can do it?"
"Nope"
Li Xian replied very simply: "I hope that after me, someone will think of a way to break out of this law." ”
Ye Huaixi sighed: "The first generation of officials are more diligent, thrifty and honest, and the second generation of officials have not suffered hardship, so I don't know what suffering is, and I can't see far enough." Then the third generation of officials, the fourth generation of officials will be even more unbearable. Over time, decay is inevitable. ”
"Can you stop killing?"
She asked.
"Kill?"
Li Xian shook his head: "Killing people can't kill greed. ”
"What about raising?"
Ye Huaixi said: "Raise officials with Houlu, so that they don't have to be greedy." ”
"What is raised is greed."
Li Xian leaned on the carriage and slowly closed his eyes: "This problem may not be solved in a thousand years." ”
"You can't kill, you can't raise...... How? ”
Ye Huaixi muttered to himself.
