Chapter 129 The people's hearts are like water

"Are you all gone?"

"They must have been behind their backs just now, and they didn't say anything bad about their officials!"

Looking at Xiao He, who had returned, Situ Xing's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of amusement.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Looking at Situ Xing, who didn't care at all, Xiao He couldn't help but smile and nodded.

"These tycoons!"

"It's all a fly camp dog!"

"It is said that it is an example for all people!"

"In fact, the first thing to consider is their own interests, and then the people are the last to think about them. But this is also normal, after all, people will have selfish intentions, and they can't ask for it!"

"However, as a parent, this official must put the interests of the people first!"

Situ Xing looked at the closed door, his gaze seemed to be able to see through the heavy wood, and he could see everyone's thoughts and expressions. After a long time, he said with a solemn face.

"Your Excellency!"

"Is it inappropriate to let the people sell salt and pig iron? . . ”

"You must know that since ancient times, salt and pig iron have been military supplies, all of which have been monopolized by the government. ”

Seeing that Situ Xing was in a good mood, Xiao He asked with some curiosity.

"Huh!"

"Xiao He, your gaze is still too narrow!"

"In the past, why did the government restrict the salt and iron business, in addition to competing with the people for profits because of the huge profits of salt and iron, it was more because of the fear that the people would rebel because the people forged weapons privately!"

Listening to Si Tu's explanation, Xiao He couldn't help but nod secretly. As Situ said, why didn't the government dare to hand over the salt and iron business to the people.

Of course, there is the idea of competing with the people for profit, after all, the treasury is not particularly rich. But more often than not, they were worried about the rebellion of the people...

After all, pig iron is the main raw material for building weapons, and without weapons, even if the people want to rebel, they will not be able to achieve any climate.

This is also the reason why so many peasant uprisings in history were easily suppressed in the end.

In the pre-Qin era, this ban reached the extreme.

Not only are the people not allowed to hide weapons privately, but all the iron weapons in the world are confiscated, and the first class of people and several households share a kitchen knife.

"Then why do you want to hand over this iron tool to the Hao family!"

Seeing that Situ Xing understood the power, Xiao He's eyes couldn't help but rise a little anxiously.

"Humph!"

Looking at Xiao He, who was full of anxiety, the corners of Situ Xing's mouth couldn't help but turn up, and he sneered with disdain:

"Qin Wangzheng is a generation of overlords, heroes, and heroes who have been in difficulties for five hundred years throughout the ages!"

"But he doesn't understand the people's hearts!"

"I don't understand the truth that I can't last long... ”

"The people's hearts are like water, and water can carry a boat or overturn a boat!"

"Simply collecting the soldiers of the world and casting them into a ball has no way to make the country forever!"

"It is precisely for this reason that the first Qin died but the second, which is a rare short-lived dynasty in history... ”

And Da Yu learned the lessons of the pre-Qin and ruled the world with the learning of Huang Lao, which greatly improved both law and benevolence. Although Dayu is not as strong as the pre-Qin, it has eight hundred years of rivers and mountains!"

"Therefore, it is not ordinary swords and soldiers who determine the ownership of the world, but the hearts of the people... ”

Listening to Si Tu's explanation, Xiao He's eyes kept flickering, as if he had something to gain and groaned.

Situ didn't bother, just looked at it with a chuckle.

I don't know how long it took for Xiao He to wake up from his trance... Looking at Situ Xing's blazing eyes, he said with some embarrassment:

"Your Excellency!"

"Makes you laugh!"

"Your Majesty, you are far-sighted!"

"Xiao He's vision is still too limited!"

Looking at his face full of embarrassment and a little restrained, Situ couldn't help but chuckle, and in his heart, he said in a voice that only he could hear: "I can't blame you for this matter, after all, it is the limitation of the times. If I weren't a person who crossed over, I'm afraid I wouldn't have dared to have such a great determination to carry out reforms!"

Of course, there is another thought that Situ has not declared, and that is because of the appearance of firearms.

The era of cold weapons is coming to an end, and even if the Hao clan masters the pig iron resources, they can't make any waves.

If the Hao clan knew what Situ Xing really thought in his heart, I'm afraid he wouldn't be as jubilant as he is now!

"Xiao He!"

"The biggest problem of moving the capital has been settled!"

"The speed of moving the capital must be accelerated!"

"This official will arrive in North County before the end of the year!"

Looking at Situ Xing, who was full of domineering and unquestionable faces, Xiao He bowed his head without any hesitation, and assured with a solemn face:

"Please rest assured!"

"Xiao He is willing to make a military order for the adults, and before the end of the year, the relocation of the capital will be completed!"

"Hmm!"

"You do something, this official can rest assured!"

Looking at Xiao He, who was full of solemnity, Situ Xing's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of satisfaction, and he said with a chuckle on his face.

"Thank you, sir, for your trust!"

"Xiao He and the others go all out!"

Looking at Situ Xing's trusting gaze, Xiao He's eyes couldn't help but be hot, and he bowed down with a touched face, and said loudly.

。。。。

Seeing Xiao He's back disappear completely, Situ Xing's face slowly became gloomy.

Today's incident with Mrs. Lu sounded the alarm for him.

In the past, although he realized the seriousness of his relatives' interference in politics, and consciously cultivated Lu Pheasant, hoping that she could take charge of herself, and hoped that with the assistance of the courtiers, she would keep the country she had built.

But today, it seems that he really underestimated the greed of the human heart.

If he really dies early because of his lack of longevity, then his relatives led by Mrs. Lu will definitely take the opportunity to seize power, and in the end, it is possible for the dove to occupy the magpie's nest!

Thinking of this possibility, Situ Xing's eyes kept flickering, and he couldn't wait to kill all the Lu family members to prevent future troubles.

"Your Excellency!"

Just when Situ Xing was upset in his heart, the voice of a small servant suddenly came from outside.

"What's the matter?"

Interrupted by others, Situ Xing's eyebrows couldn't help but rise, and he said with a little displeasure.

"Returning to your lordship!"

"The little lady asks to see the adults!"

Listening to the little girl's advice, Si Tuxing's brows couldn't help frowning even tighter. Because of his longevity and the relationship between his busy work, he has only accepted two equal wives for several years. Because both of them were born in the Lu family and were sisters-in-law, the people in the house called them the eldest lady and the younger lady.

This little lady is referring to Lu Su!

"What is she doing here?"

Listening to the words of the little girl, Situ Xing's eyes couldn't help flashing a little suspicious, you must know that Lu Su has a weak personality and doesn't like political history, and it is precisely for this reason that she rarely sets foot in Situ Xing's flower hall.

Today, Lu Su came suddenly, and he couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

"Your Excellency!"

"Just now, someone came to report that after Mrs. Lu left the flower hall, he went directly to the back hall of the county ya. ”

"The little lady came this time, it should have something to do with this matter!"

Listening to the black-clothed guard's warning, Situ Xing's face couldn't help but show a little obvious disgust, and the original warmth was completely replaced by coldness.

"Tell the little lady, just say that the official is busy with business, let her go back for the time being!"
