Chapter 143: The Mighty Dragon and the Earth Snake (6)

Zhao Jiaren took a sip of the teacup, the April of the Song calendar was about the middle of May in the Western calendar, and the weather was already hot. Looking at the Yangtze River in the pavilion by the river, it feels good.

Because of the climate, the riverbank of Jiangning (Nanjing) City at this time has moved northward, the original large lake has shrunk or even dried up, and the new Mochou Lake has finally appeared in the place where it was originally a river beach. The ground of Jiangning has also extended a lot to the west, which is probably the basic outline of the city of Nanjing in later generations.

In Zhao Jiaren's opinion, this place is not bad. If it is the capital, it probably only needs to worry about the flooding of the Yangtze River. At this time, the Yangtze River was not as troublesome as later generations, first of all, the water surface of Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake was huge. Even Yunmengze in Jiangbei has not really disappeared. If we can control the actions of humans upstream and reduce the soil that carries water into the river, Yun Mengze may have a chance to save it.

was looking at the scenery, and the new head of the household department, Lu Xiufu, came to Zhao Jiaren's side. As Li Tingzhi's messenger, he went to the Fuzhou court for help, and then stayed in the Fuzhou court. is also a hero who has followed Zhao Jiaren for more than ten years. In the purge of Li Tingzhi's family, he was not implicated in the slightest.

Now Lu Xiufu is sitting directly opposite Zhao Jiaren, and he wants to speak. Just waited for him to call the official family, Zhao Jiaren said: "Look at the sweat you run, take a sip of tea first." I can afford to wait. ”

After listening to Zhao Jiaren, the secretary next to him immediately poured tea for Lu Xiufu. Lu Xiufu tried it, but the temperature of the tea in the public cup was not high, so he drank it in one gulp. The secretary poured him another glass, and Lu Xiufu drank it again. At first, he was excited, but Lu Xiufu didn't feel thirsty. Now that two cups of tea are in my stomach, I feel a little insufficient. Of course, the secretaries are all sharp-eyed people, and immediately poured Lu Xiufu another glass. After three cups of tea, Lu Xiufu felt very satisfied. He put down the teacup and said to Zhao Jiaren: "Official, we have all seen what the Governor Wen did this time. If someone says that the prefect of Wen made up a story to frame, I will definitely disagree. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Jiaren responded. What Wen Zhang did this time made Zhao Jiaren very satisfied, but Zhao Jiaren also had some doubts about whether the landlords were stupid or too arrogant. Since Wen Zhangdu has already told them that according to the latest agricultural law, they will abandon the land for no reason, and collect a year's grain money according to the estimated output of the land. If you are a landlord, even if you are in a hurry, you have to fake a false impression of taking care of the land and cultivating it to avoid fines. This is also the reason why Zhao Jiaren asked to come so quickly. If the landlords disguised the land situation, Wenzhang would probably be in big trouble.

However, the landlords did not respond at all, which made Zhao Jiaren understand. That's too mentally retarded.

"Official. The land is owned by the landlords, and whether they want to cultivate it or not is their own business. Is it too much for the government to manage it like this? Lu Xiufu asked.

Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Among all the old bureaucrats of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiaren only had an extraordinarily personal factor for four and a half people. The number one is naturally Jia Nidao, and when I read three words and three moments before, there was a story about Jia Nidao. Zheng Huchen killed Jia Rudao. At that time, Zhao Jiaren only felt that Jia Yidao was a traitor in the traditional sense, and he didn't have any special feelings. The only thing that I thought was a little strange at the time was that in other books, it was written that the people who were admitted to the Jinshi were all good scholars, and only one guy like Jia Yidao was admitted to the Jinshi, but he was considered not to study well.

When he returned to this era, Zhao Jiaren discovered that Jia Yidao actually promoted the reform of Gongtian to save the Great Song Dynasty. This made Zhao Jiaren really annoyed. In addition, Jia Yidao also takes care of Zhao Jiaren, and this old relationship cannot be ignored.

In addition to Jia Yidao, the three people at the end of the Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie, and Lu Xiufu. Zhao Jiaren also has his own personal emotions in it. Although none of these three people had the ability and opportunity to affect the overall trend of the Great Song Dynasty before the surrender of Lin'an, Zhao Jiaren still couldn't turn a blind eye to their performance when the Great Song Dynasty fell.

The other half is Lu Wenhuan. After really understanding the reality of the Battle of Xiangyang, Zhao Jiaren was no longer willing to blame Lu Wenhuan for surrendering to Mongolia in a desperate situation. He can also say that he has done his best, and he is not without credit to the Great Song Dynasty. If Lu Wenhuan fell into the hands of Zhao Jiaren, Zhao Jiaren would definitely kill him without hesitation. But Lu Wenhuan is also a little different in Zhao Jiaren's eyes.

But after listening to Lu Xiufu's question, Zhao Jiaren felt that the bottom line in his heart was touched. He can allow Lu Xiufu to say stupid things and do wrong things, but he really can't accept Lu Xiufu to stand on the landlord's side.

"Junshi, what do you think of this mountain is opened by me, this tree is planted by me, if you pass by here, leave it to buy road money." Zhao Jiaren asked.

Lu Xiufu was stunned for a moment, this was obviously what the Cut-Path robber could say. He is the same age as Wen Tianxiang, and he was known as a prodigy at the age of nine, and he reads very well. Although he is only four years older than Zhao Jiaren, he is not so old that he can't hear the voice. So Lu Xiufu replied bluntly: "This is the words of the Cutting Path Robber, just listen to it as a joke." ”

"If this is the case, the land was decided by the imperial court back then, and now it has become what the landlord wants. In the first empire of the Qin and Han dynasties, the land was planned. It was the fall of the Qin and Han dynasties, and in the Tang Dynasty, officials had to supervise and inquire about how the land under their rule was managed, and the number of cattle and other livestock raised by each family. In this dynasty, the landlords did whatever they wanted, planted what they wanted, and did not plant if they did not want to. If they can do whatever they want because they bought the land, what is the difference between that and a robber who cuts the path? ”

Hearing Zhao Jiaren's words, Lu Xiufu couldn't answer for a while. This truth is correct if it stands on the standpoint of the official family and the position of the imperial court. But standing in the position of the landlord is extremely harsh. It smells of disrespect for people's free choice.

Zhao Jiaren sighed in his heart, picked up the teacup and drank it all. Among the three heroes at the end of the Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie did not disappoint him. Even though Zhang Shijie has stood on the side of the little emperor for a long time, Zhang Shijie upholds personal loyalty. And Zhang Shijie finally returned to the right path and made the choice to follow the highest interests of the Great Song Dynasty. For such a person, Zhao Jiaren feels precious. If a person is not true to his heart, he is completely worthless.

But Zhao Jiaren found that he now only hoped that Lu Xiufu could give up his own inner value and completely return to Zhao Jiaren's value system. If he continues to be loyal to the interests of the landlord class, Zhao Jiaren's tolerance will soon reach the bottom line. So he continued to persuade: "Junshi, the land is for farming, not for prestige. You have also heard that many of the evil deeds of the landlords are based on the private ownership of land. ”
