Your country has requisitioned so many people in order to conquer Yizhou, which is not hostile, and the king of Chu has always loved the people like a son, and wants to come...... It's a lot of consumption, right? Qin Mi worked tirelessly to find out some news.

And now the target of the investigation is the official who greeted him in Xiling.

It's none other than You Heng, who has a small mouth and a nice mouth!

Lord Qin said cautiously...... Love the people like children? If Chu officials flaunt these words like this, and they are heard by a certain person, they will definitely be impeached in the court, and they will not be able to afford to be guilty. You Heng glanced at him and said in a tone of looking at a turtle.

When Qin Mi heard this, he suddenly became angry-What did I say? Didn't you praise the king of Chu for "loving the people like a son"? How can you still pay the palace scholars and can't afford to be guilty...... Why didn't you say you were going to cut me down?

"My king has said that the most important thing to be an official is the spirit of service! How adorable is my king's 'killing a man as killing my father', and who dares to say 'loving the people as a son' should not be dragged to cure a great disrespect?

Oh, by the way, if it is an uncivilized land where the lord treats the people as pigs and dogs, it is not bad for the subordinate officials to flaunt 'love the people like sons', after all, they treat their lord's livestock as children. You Heng said with the spirit of the Yin and Yang family.

Qin Mi was so angry that he almost didn't come up in one breath, but it was not easy to refute, firstly, Bai Tu was too promoted, uncomfortable, and could not be morally blamed, and secondly, it was ...... The situation is stronger than people, You Heng directly talked about the foundation of the Chu State, how dare he refute it?

really refutes it in principle, I'm afraid that Chu Guo will directly bombard him out.

Of course, in fact, even if Bai Tu did mention the spirit of service, but thousands of years of inertia is here, how can he suddenly really say that "loving the people like sons" must be blamed?

The only one who can use this kind of thing is Youheng......

However, it is true that core high-level officials, as well as some middle- and grass-roots officials who have developed and want to make progress, will consciously avoid expressions such as "loving the people like children", "common people", "white ding", etc., and words such as "puppet", "villain", and "gangster" have been derived from contemptuous connotations, and they must never appear in official faces or say them on official occasions.

You have indeed overridden ......

Half a year ago, Lu Kang mentioned a "herdsman", not a herdsman, but a "herdsman" in "Guanzi Herdsman" - comparing the people to the goal of grazing, that is, the meaning of managing the people.

After all, Lu Kang is old, and sometimes he doesn't speak so quickly, so he used this word at the court meeting with a bald mouth, and was grabbed by Youheng......

Bai Tu was afraid that Lu Kang would be angry, so he stopped You Heng.

But...... Lu Kang, who calmed down, pleaded guilty to Bai Tu and the rest of his ministers in the court discussion, and punished himself for three months.

Lu Kanggui is still like this as a scholar of the palace university, setting an example for hundreds of officials, and at the same time making You Heng's reputation even more infamous...... Ah no, it's a step further!

Because Lu Jun hurt his father's face, he hated You Heng so much that he even wanted to find someone to put his sack on, but he was taught a lesson by his father Lu Kang.

In Lao Lu's words: "If it weren't for you, the rebel, the old man wouldn't have to be this example!" ”

Poor Lu Jun is also middle-aged, and he is said to be wronged, and he doesn't know why......

Lu Kang can see it clearly, he has reached his current position, and he has a lot less consideration for personal face - no matter how much he damages his face, he is also the founding father of the Chu State, and he is the kind that has a temple under the white map, which will not be lower than the top three, and he has to list a separate article when writing the history of Chu!

On the contrary, he took the initiative to ask for guilt, which was to answer the king's mind and set a model for the king, and he would ...... in the future After a hundred years, the king will remember more of Lu's affection.

After all, Lu Jun ......

In the future, it will depend on "affection"!

It is true that Bai Tu accepted Lu Kang's petition, but in the next two months, he found various reasons to reward Lu Kang and Lu Jun constantly.

Bai Tu also understands that the inner concept cannot be changed overnight, and if it really can, it must change in a more comfortable direction.

For example, Bai Tu has passed through ten years, and his heart has become more and more accepting of the setting that he is nobler than others......

It is precisely because of this change that Bai Tu tries to restrain his external performance.

The heart ape is the most difficult to bind, but "keeping your mouth shut" is the first step and a good start.

Now that You Heng is facing Qin Mi, you really have the confidence - I, You Heng, the man who let the palace scholars apologize in public!

"The king of Chu has been glorious for eternity, and Mi has been taught." Qin Mi took a few deep breaths and said.

Youheng is not afraid of being angry with him.

After all, it was the king who asked him to come to pick up the envoy of Yizhou......

Who is I, who does not know? (Proud face)

Do you expect me to be entertained?

"Well, I heard that the Marquis of Shu treated the people harshly in Yizhou, and the people of Yizhou were even blind and unable to see at night because of the lack of meat, which is really sad! The Marquis of Shu is because he has to learn more. You Heng responded with a pre-nasal voice and said disdainfully.

Qin Mi began to take a deep breath again, but at the same time, he didn't dare to refute.

This is also a reminder to him that Yizhou is not an opponent of Chu at all.

In the previous battle of Yingou Mountain, why did the Jiangzhou army have no power to fight back, Yan Yan has also analyzed the reason, and for this reason, he also applied to the Marquis of Shu to increase military spending.

However, because Liu Zhang's own control over Yizhou is limited, he knows that this move is related to the success or failure of the Shu army, but he still has a lot of constraints.

In fact, like the elite of Wei, as well as the armies of Qi Hou and Zheng Hou, they have long paid attention to this aspect, especially Wei - there are a lot of cattle and sheep in Wuhuan and Xianbei in the north, and robbing one or two tribes at will is tens of millions of cattle and sheep, even if it is not enough to suppress the price of civilian meat like Chu State, but the army is still not short of meat!

In Xuzhou and Qingzhou, the Marquis of Qi also vigorously developed fisheries, following the example of Chu to develop the sea......

This can also be seen that after the Chu State gradually became stronger, the wealthy families "imported" manpower everywhere, which brought about some chain reactions that are difficult to say "advantages" or "disadvantages"!

Although most of the princes of all parties are "Han Chinese" in a broad sense, and there are regional and cultural differences between them, after all, they have the same language and the same species, and there is Chu Xue as the core unity, and it is still easy to completely absorb it, at least compared to the increase in population, it is also cost-effective to add some burden to the Ministry of Rites.

However, to a certain extent, this also played a role in "showing off wealth" to the families in other regions.

You must know that the "family" is most concerned about the land and the population, under normal circumstances, will not sell the land and the population that has been a vassal for a long time, unless it ...... That's too much!

As for the wealthy families who do not have a thick foundation, compared to inheritance and pay more attention to strength, it is not to mention - in addition to the Chu State, the wealthy families in other regions, the family property of several generations, has been easily surpassed by the nouveau riche of the Chu State in the past few years, especially in the last two or three years.

What's even more terrifying is that after the commodity is circulated, it is basically the cut share.

Although the princes of various places actively import "Chu goods" is still the mainstream, there are also gradually "people of insight" who have discovered it...... Is our family shrinking?

And are you still begging the state of Chu to shrink our family?

While all kinds of Chu weapons, salt, sugar, brocade, grain and other materials flowed into their own side, their own gold, silver, copper and iron, and even their population were losing at a faster rate.

For a while, the princes of various places can't turn this corner, but sooner or later they will react - it's not a question of whether the Chu State collects taxes or not, it's that we should collect taxes for the Chu State!

What's more, as the manpower of the Chu State becomes more and more precious, the families in various places also really feel the "wealth" of the Chu State, and they don't understand that a "pariah" who is dismantled into bones and refined oil should not be worth so much!

Even not only the wealthy families in other regions, but even the common people are accepting this - the nouveau riche of the Chu State began to take the initiative to promote "the life of the Chu State is good, it is really good, the life of the Chu State is good, it is really good", and the means include but are not limited to the dissemination of "Chu Di Divine Drama" and "Chu Di Divine Comedy".

Originally, the Ministry of Rites secretly raised a group of performance teams that performed in the countryside outside the Chu State, but now, ...... More upstart performance teams and opera troupes have emerged on their own initiative.

In order to attract the population to move - directly "get" the civilians from other places who take the initiative to come to the Chu State, you can save a lot of money for the local wealthy families!

However, these "showing off wealth" are also "showing off their wealth".

The more unbalanced the wealthy families in various places, the smaller the obstacles for other princes to "follow Chu innovation" will be, and even sooner or later, the local scholars will force them to "serve Chu innovation"!

Of course, "Serving Chu Innovation" is not about being effective or effective, not to mention the technical support needed in it, even if Chu is now, it is uncomfortable because of its own labor costs......

And those who lag behind the Chu State, even if the labor cost is not as high as the Chu State, but it will also be driven up, and the increased labor cost will also bring huge constraints to their development, after all, no matter how expensive the manpower of the Chu State is, at least the Chu State is also rich, which is also the inertia of the strong and the strong.

Qin Mi did not give up observing the situation of Chu along the way to Jiangling with You Heng, and then continued down the river from Jiangling to Wuchang and Jinling, and tried to find useful information during the conversation.

During this period, Qin Mi also doubted whether You Heng was here to greet him, or whether he came with a mission to kill him.

If it was really the latter, Qin Mi would rather the State of Chu send someone to cook him......

Although You Heng is a great yin and yang family (big fog), it is not that he has no door, and he has not revealed secrets to him, what he really wants to say, it is also seven points true and three points false.

However, in terms of investment in combat logistics, You Heng is indeed telling the truth, after all, this kind of thing is easy to judge in the future, and it is the basic information of the Chu State.

Even like Wei and Qi Hou, they should have already found out.

However, Qin Mi's first reaction was not to believe it - this was much higher than when there were no ships and slender cars!

If it is changed to Yizhou Mansion, it does not require such a large overhead......

Not to mention, according to the labor cost standard of Chu State, an ordinary man, who worked in the water conservancy project in Wudang County for five years, sold enough coolie and had enough of the crime, and returned to his hometown after five years, at least he is a rich family who can buy a few sets of new satin clothes a year, can eat big fish and meat, and can let his children study.

Of course, this kind of "rich man" can afford servants in other places, but not only can't buy it in Chu State, but also can't afford to hire it......
