The court asked me to destroy the rivers and lakes.

Damn, the rivers and lakes are said to be extinguished?

I was so drunk that I didn't know what to do.

The world is so big, the rivers and lakes are so big, how to find them? When they were first arrested, they were the bosses of various gangs and cults, and it was very difficult to catch them at the beginning, but now that the world is in chaos, it is even more difficult to arrest them.

I decided to go to Zhao Yuyang. He's been with the Senate for so long, and now he's a member of the Senate committee, so he should know about these things.

I asked him, "Do you know the ins and outs of those wanted criminals?" ”

Zhao Yuyang: "I think I understand, I say I understand, but do I really understand?" All my knowledge was either fancied by myself or stolen from the Patriarch's Library. ”

Me: "Tell me about it." ”

Zhao Yuyang: "I just understand the process, I don't understand the reason." It's as if I understand that the earth revolves around the sun because it is powerful, but why is it powerful? You can ask this question indefinitely......"

Me: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up." ”

Zhao Yuyang: "This is the task assigned by the Senate to the inner court, the general manager is responsible, the Criminal Department, the Second Survival Department, the Secret Department, and the Intelligence Department are specifically implemented, and they throw all the guys with rebellious behaviors into the royal prison, and the most rebellious of them is of course the rivers and lakes." I just told you that the court is a big bastard, and the rivers and lakes are a little bastard...... I remember five or six years ago, I was in charge of formulating a plan to exterminate the Five Poisons Gang in Yunnan......"

Me: "Why don't you cut the grass and root it out, and throw it in jail?" ”

Zhao Yuyang was furious: "I don't know, don't ask me this question!" ”

Me: "Well, actually, what I want to ask today is: How do I destroy them?" Send out the forbidden army, turn over stone by stone, and find them? It's like killing a chicken with a knife. The problem is that you can kill it, but you can't. I'm running out of ammunition, are you going to build a rebuilt arsenal? ”

Zhao Yuyang: "Am I stupid? I helped the money to build it, and he will definitely kill me when he turns around. Now Qian Zhaoding is turning over the "Book of the Patriarchs" step by step. He built it slowly, and I didn't care about him. He's all rubbish, and who knows when it's going to be built. However, I heard that he is considering reconvening the meeting. When the new lifters come, we, the old guys, will step aside! ”

Me: "Well, in fact, ammunition can be saved, fuel can be made secretly, but where will I get the money?" ”

Zhao Yuyang: "Rob, you have more than 10,000 troops and so much equipment, why can't you grab it?" ”

Me: "Damn, I'm robbing things every day, how do I catch wanted criminals?" ”

Zhao Yuyang: "Grab while grabbing, you are robbing in the name of the imperial court, what are you afraid of?" Besides, the court and the rivers and lakes are robbed, why don't you rob them? ”

Me: "The rivers and lakes are also good and bad." ”

Zhao Yuyang: "When I say this, I tell people: 'The court is also divided into good and bad.'" 'You have been in the court for seven years, and you believe that?' There is not a good thing in the imperial court, and there is not a good thing in the rivers and lakes. ”

Me: "Nonsense! How do you know? ”

Zhao Yuyang: "I grew up in Lingnan, and I was in the rivers and lakes before I came to Chang'an, of course I know." What a good thing the rivers and lakes are! What kind of 'heroes of the rivers and lakes' do you listen to those storytellers! After I came to Chang'an, I followed the Senate, and I knew everything. Let me ask you, what is the imperial court and what is the rivers and lakes? ”

I thought about it for a while and said: "The Book of the Elders says that the imperial court is divinely granted, obviously, this is nonsense, and a normal person doesn't believe it. The King James Law says that the court is the protector of the world, which is still nonsense. The Imperial University Law Textbook says that the imperial court was a tool for the nobles to rule over the commoners—this is true, but only superficially. In my opinion, the imperial court is a tool for one part to oppress the other part, and as for who suppresses whom, it doesn't matter, it's just a definition. ”

Zhao Yuyang: "What about the rivers and lakes?" ”

Me: "Jianghu? Jianghu is the rebellion of some people against another, and it is the opposite of the imperial court. Because the court is unjust, the rivers and lakes must be just. ”

Zhao Yuyang laughed: "You are too naïve. You've read too many novels, you're stupid! ”

I said, "Okay, you tell me what you think." ”

Zhao Yuyang thought for a while and said:

"Initially, nothing.

There was a man who felt that he was a superior person, so he was ready to be a superior person.

He bullies others, so that he looks good. He doesn't get anything for nothing, robs other people's things, and bullies men and women. He lied everywhere to make others think he was a hero. They flattered each other, colluded with each other, and finally joined forces to form gangs and even sects, and the rivers and lakes were born.

The heroes collect extortion fees every day - they call it protection money, and when they don't want to rob the money, they let people pay for it obediently - this is called tax - and the imperial court was born.

There is no difference between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court. When the rivers and lakes are big, it is the imperial court. Therefore, the rivers and lakes are the imperial court, and the imperial court is the rivers and lakes. The court is a big bastard, and the rivers and lakes are a small bastard. A bastard, you can't say he's incompetent, he's just a good guy, right?

In order to suppress the rivers and lakes, the imperial court and the civilians, I mean, pretended to stand with the civilians to suppress the rivers and lakes, and stigmatized the rivers and lakes, and also used this as an excuse to collect taxes even more, ha, kill two birds with one stone!

However, the imperial court is a system, and the system is destined to inflate itself. Civilians were taxed more and more, and when they couldn't even survive, rebellions arose. This is called rebellion.

If the rebellion is successful, it is called a change of dynasty.

As a result, the court and the rivers and lakes circulated like this. ”

I listened to it, thought about it, and it seemed to make some sense.

I couldn't help but say, "It's not a matter of interest yet!" If the imperial court collects less taxes, the rivers and lakes will have no chance, right? ”

Zhao Yuyang: "This is where your naivety lies." Who is willing to cut taxes? ”

Me: "Isn't that what it can't do?" The imperial court wants to watch itself be replaced by the rivers and lakes? ”

Zhao Yuyang said:

"That's where your stupidity lies!

The Senate found a method of collecting taxes in the Book of the Senates, which was called the 'Hidden Tax'.

The imperial court implemented a monopoly on materials and monopolized the right to sell. They divided the people of the world into various household registers, prescribed the tasks of each household register, and they confiscated everything and distributed everything.

This is called a dark tax.

You can't tell it's a tax, but it's a tax. For example, there are two families, one raises white pigs and the other raises black pigs. They can't eat their own meat, they can only eat each other's pork, and they can't exchange it privately, they can only buy it from the imperial court. The price of the imperial court was ten white pigs for one black pig, and ten black pigs for one white pig. People were stupid and turned twenty pigs into two pigs, but they didn't know why this happened, and they thought that the court confiscated taxes, and they thought that the court would support themselves. You see, it's called a dark tax.

Ninety-nine percent of the Ming Dynasty's taxes were dark taxes, not open taxes. The population tax is only used to count the population, and the agricultural tax is almost non-existent. People always scolded the court for collecting too many taxes, but in fact, they scolded wrongly, and they didn't understand anything at all.

A court had to collect taxes, whether overt or covert. Wool can only grow on sheep. If it were all clear taxes, people would definitely revolt; If it's all dark taxes, and everyone doesn't believe it, people will think: how can you support yourself if you don't collect taxes? Therefore, the imperial court must collect more taxes in the dark and less in the open.

In this way, everyone still thinks that it is a light and thin endowment. I have seen people say more than once: 'You pay so much tax every day, and you don't even have enough money for the tax collectors, and you dare to point fingers at the court!' 'Hey, a bunch of idiots.

Of course, if you learn the "Governance" of the Holy Land, you don't even have to collect taxes, because you have transformed people into stone.

The current imperial court is maintained by selling electricity. Not only does it not levy taxes, but it also relies on small favors to connect people's hearts, which is simply a shame for the imperial court! ”

It dawned on me, "I get it all." ”

Zhao Yuyang pouted: "Wrong!" You understand the, idiot. ”

Me: "How do you curse?" ”

Zhao Yuyang: "Then let me ask you, why is there no secret tax on money now?" ”

Me: "Because of the chaos in the world?" ”

Zhao Yuyang: "Wrong! Because when Liu Xingchao was fleeing, he ordered the royal computer to be blown up. ”

Me: "Then I don't understand, what does this so-called 'dark tax' have to do with the royal computer?" ”

Zhao Yuyang continued:

"As I said earlier, the imperial court controls everything.

But the problem is, haha, he can't control it, the data in it is too complex, it affects each other, and it is completely beyond human calculation.

At this time, the legendary royal computer is needed.

What do you think the role of the royal computer is! Collect a population tax? Controlling the flow of people? Suppression of rebellion?

All wrong! It is mainly to control production and distribution.

The Senate designed the royal computer, which used the Senate's Book of Production to calculate everything, such as how much was produced by each household and how it was distributed.

There are 4 billion people in the world, every hour of the day, and what everyone does needs to be arranged by the imperial court. These are such a mess! At the beginning, we were in the Ministry of Engineering, and we were doing these things all day long.

It is said that the royal computer was designed by the Holy Land, and Sichuan and Chang'an could only do it according to the drawings, and they could not even understand the principle. When the royal computer was blown up, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Industry were all finished, which was the real chaos in the world, and it was also the purpose of Liu Xingchao. He saw with his own eyes that the royal computer was blown up before he fled.

Because of this, Qian Zhaoding has been working hard to rebuild the royal computer.

What is built, when will the world be the court's. ”

I was blown away.

I thought we were free, but we were commanded by a machine.

I couldn't help but give Liu Xingchao a thumbs up in my heart: You finally did a good thing.

Zhao Yuyang said: "Now is the most dangerous time for the imperial court, because it can no longer collect taxes. Jianghu also saw this, so he wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the court and become the court himself. ”

I've been talking to him for so long, and it's completely useless for my arrest work! What if I know the principle? Can you conjure gold and silver out of thin air?

I scratched my head and left.
