Chapter 257: The Decline of the Nation
Looking at Lin Jiu's appearance, Wei Wenshu felt a little sympathy for Yin Zi in his heart.
This little general from the Zhenbei General's Mansion is almost certain to inherit his father's title. Regardless of his family background, Yin Zidu is in his twenties, and he has led his troops to win many battles at the border pass, and the official worships General Wuwei.
Although there is still a lot of distance to leave the house, he has the right to lead an army, and the younger generation of the Great Zhou Dynasty who is short of generals can be said to be the first person, even such a man can not enter the eyes of Lin Jiu, and the eyes are higher than the top four words may be used to describe it.
Lin Jiu had already understood Wei Wenshu's expression, and said: "The most important thing in the relationship between men and women is fate and feeling. ”
Wei Wenshu naturally knew that Lin Jiu was talking about herself, but for her, there was no choice at all. At the beginning, even the news of the divorce was the last one she knew, and when she tried to redeem it, Chu Linghui had completely closed the door to her.
Seeing that Wei Wenshu's mood was getting lower and lower, Lin Jiu subconsciously got up and said that Wei Wenshu was hugging, not only Wei Wenshu, but even Lin Jiu himself was taken aback, and wondered when he became so emotional.
Lin Jiu coughed dryly twice and let go of Wei Wenshu, "That, the smell on your body is very good." ”
"I bought it in the Zeng's Baixiang Pavilion, I heard that this is the recipe that came out of you, you are really a magical person, it seems that you can do anything, no wonder he chose you." At this time, Wei Wenshu's face was a little more relieved than before.
"It shouldn't be an option, after all, you didn't seem to be in his mind from the start."
Wei Wenshu looked at Lin Jiu with some resentment, and his eyes were like puppies that had been kicked by his master unintentionally, which made Lin Jiu a little unbearable.
"You should be able to hear that I'm joking." Lin Jiu said seriously, and then quickly changed the topic, "Now that the throne has changed, the situation in the capital is not stable, it can be said that danger and opportunity coexist, you have to be careful." ”
Wei Wenshu sighed: "I didn't expect these words to come out of your mouth. ”
After saying this, Wei Wenshu retracted the stunned look on his face, and said: "You and I are each other, the water in Yunzhou is not shallow, your idea is very good, I hope to come back next time, this Yunzhou is a different scene." ”
"Master Wei doesn't want change." Lin Jiu's face was mocking.
"Manpower is sometimes exhausted, and in the face of the general trend, most people can only go with the flow."
Wei Wenshu got up, at the moment when she was talking to Lin Jiu, she kept looking around, as for what she was looking for, Lin Jiu naturally knew it in her heart.
In fact, Lin Jiu could also see that at least at some point in time in the past, Chu Linghui had feelings for Wei Wenshu, but now time has passed.
Wei Wenshu left the academy, there were fewer people around her, and no matter how delicate Miss Gui was, she was still a good person, and it could be seen from helping Chu Linghui borrow troops that night that she was a person who knew how to repay her kindness.
"She's gone, she can come out." Lin Jiu said a little angrily to Chu Linghui who was hiding behind the screen.
This person came to the academy in a hurry early in the morning, Lin Jiu thought he had something urgent, but he didn't expect to come here to avoid his old lover, although Lin Jiu had a solid heart, he also felt a little hurt.
is still dodging, which means that Wei Wenshu still occupies some kind of place in his heart.
Chu Linghui slowly walked out from behind the screen, coughed dryly twice, and his face was very serious. Even when Lord Chu was hiding in embarrassment, he was still full of majesty.
"I'm just scared of trouble." Chu Linghui's words seemed to have some flavor of explaining to Lin Jiu.
"You should still send your Shangguan to work, Lord Xiao Chu?"
Lin Jiu's reminder made Chu Linghui stunned, and his face finally changed slightly, "Naturally, it was to be sent, but at that time, it was not so easy to deal with in the public." ”
"Lord Xiao Chu, you must know that as a man, if you hesitate in this relationship, you will be hated." Lin Jiu looked at Chu Linghui with some displeasure.
"Are you jealous?" Chu Linghui looked at Lin Jiu with some surprise, as if he had seen something strange.
Lin Jiu looked at Chu Linghui quietly, looking at each other, and in the end, Chu Linghui looked away first. Let's have a book
"This is not a hesitation, if she goes to the capital, she will definitely become a bargaining chip for Wei Deyun's promotion, if she is given hope at this time, it will make her miserable in the end."
Chu Linghui said and turned around, "Didn't you also think of this layer before you made the move to hug her?" ”
Lin Jiu thought about it, silently got up and came to the screen, where a small hole was poked out in an extremely hidden place.
"Lord Chu, don't look at it!" Lin Jiu pointed to the small hole and said.
The Wei family left Yunzhou, and the convoy stretched, including tens of millions of goods. With such fanfare, it also showed everyone his determination to do a big job, if he can go to Yunzhou to produce a first-class member, then the wealthy families in Yunzhou will naturally be honored.
The send-off person wept bitterly, as if he was bidding farewell to his family, and the scene was touching.
Lin Jiu stood at the back of the crowd at this time, quietly watching the performance of these people.
In fact, Lin Jiu is very curious about another thing, that is, a prefect actually has so much family wealth, isn't he afraid of the impeachment of those officials in the capital?
At this time, Lu Xiucai explained to him that the Wei family has accumulated wealth for many years, and it is natural to have such wealth.
Lin Jiu understood that the values of this world should be that if you are rich, you should be rich, and then you can do it, no wonder Chu Linghui kept saying that she must let Da Zhou make changes.
Wei Deyun will have some influence on the people who control the wealth in Yunzhou, but it will not have much impact on ordinary people, and for them it is just a change of person sitting in the palace.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is like this, it can't be broken and it can't be better.
This is Lin Jiu's overall feeling, after Wei Deyun left, Chu Linghui did not sit in the government office to handle official business, but took Lin Jiu to all parts of Yunzhou, including some poor rural areas.
According to Chu Linghui, in Yunzhou, the trend of land annexation is serious, and most peasants do not have their own land.
After a year of hard work, in the end, most of the grain went to others, which led to people like Zhang Qiao coming to Fucheng to beg for a living.
If agriculture is not prosperous, let's talk about business.
Nearly half of the storefronts in Fucheng are in the hands of the three major families of Wei, Yan, and Jin, while the rest are divided up by the inferior small families, and ordinary people have to go to the market if they want to do business.
Because the national policy of the Great Zhou Dynasty was to focus on agriculture, many taxes were used to restrict the people, such as the city needs to get the city gate tax, the city tax is required to enter the market, and the poultry tax and livestock tax.
In this way, back to the first question, most of the ownership of the land is in the hands of the big landlords, and now in a good year, it can still live, if it encounters a natural disaster, Lin Jiu estimates that there will be a yellow turban uprising here.
Chu Linghui led Lin Jiu to sit on the edge of the field, it was autumn at this time, the field was golden, and this year was a good harvest, but there was no joy on the faces of the tenant farmers, and some were just numb.
"What do you think, let's hear it." Chu Linghui suddenly spoke.
"Do you really want to listen to me?" Lin Jiu looked at the rice ears in the field and asked.
Chu Linghui smiled: "Is there anything you can't say?" ”
Lin Jiu said: "That's too much, I can't say that the Great Zhou Dynasty is not good to the people, nor can I say that the means of those families to collect wealth are to fish with all their might, and I can't say that the court is an aristocratic government. Governance can only allow the wise to be oppositional. ”
At this point, Lin Jiu paused for a moment, and said such a series of words at once, which was more difficult than beating people.
"There is one more thing I can't say, that is, if it goes on like this, it should not be ten years before the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will be in chaos."
After hearing these words, Lu Xiucai, who was accompanying him, suddenly sweated all over his head, what he couldn't say was said, if it was spread, then Boss Lin would really become a public enemy.
Chu Linghui pondered for a moment and said, "It is precisely because of these that I want to come here to break the deadlock, not to avoid trouble in this Yunzhou." ”
