Chapter 57: The Landlord
"This is not allowed, I haven't drawn a map of the territory yet? I don't know how big it is. Yao Changsheng frowned and looked at Tao Qini and said.
"It's okay to get the meaning, so it's more intuitive and clear." Tao Qini raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "If you are familiar with history books, I believe you have heard: there is truth within the range, and where you stand is the territory. Laughing and tilting his head.
Yao Changsheng was stunned when he heard this, then nodded with a smile, "Okay!" ”
"This is the ...... of Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han"
With Yao Changsheng's pen, the mouths of the three members of the Tao family opened wider and wider, and Tao Liuyi said in amazement, "This territory is getting bigger and bigger!" ”
"Master Yao, what does this expansion rely on? Will you rule the world right away? Tao Qini raised her eyebrows and looked at him for a long time and said.
It's really calculating, never forgetting, Yao Changsheng shook his head and laughed when he heard this, the emperors of all dynasties used martial arts to flaunt themselves.
The biggest feature of martial arts is to expand the territory.
"It's really a child, the major affairs of the country are in the worship and Rong, how can there be such a simple territory map as you see, it is piled up with white bones." Yao Changsheng looked at her with solemn eyes and said cautiously.
"What is that ritual and Rong? I don't understand? Tao Liuyi scratched his head and looked at Yao Changsheng ignorantly.
"Worship is a sacrifice, as small as worshipping ancestors, ancestral halls, and as big as Taimiao." Yao Changsheng looked at him and said softly, "As for Rong, it's war, war. ”
"I understand this sacrifice, and when I escaped from the wilderness, my father specially asked me to carry the tablets of my grandfather and grandmother." Tao Liuyi nodded busily and said.
"Yes, ancestral tablets, take them wherever you go." Yao Changsheng looked at him with warm eyes and said gently, and the conversation changed to pull the topic back, "Fighting a war is not as easy as you think, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." This requires the coordination of the whole country, and at least the military department, the household department, and the Ministry of Industry on the surface must fully cooperate. ”
Tao Liuyi scratched his head, opened his mouth, and was embarrassed to interrupt.
Yao Changsheng looked at Tao Liuyi's scratching of his ears and cheeks, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.
I kindly explained what the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry do.
Tao Qini looked at his dark eyes and shook slightly, he knew too much!
"I understand, but what does this have to do with the Ministry of Industry?" Tao Liuyi was confused again.
"Simply put, it's a big civil project." Yao Changsheng looked at him and said seriously, explaining in layman's terms, "In terms of water conservancy, such as the embankment of the Yellow River, to prevent the flooding of the Yellow River, so that we can produce more grain, and there will be no grain and grass." ”
"Oh!" Tao Liuyi nodded clearly, and said in distress, "We can prevent floods, but this drought can be rectified!" ”
Yao Changsheng was speechless for a moment when asked, and thought for a while, "This Dujiangyan can not only prevent floods, but also store water for irrigation. He also talked about the geographical location of Dujiangyan in detail.
"Yao Gongzi, you boast like a flower, it is the Yangtze River, not the Yellow River." Tao Liuyi said extremely depressed, "I hope that there will be such a water conservancy project on the Yellow River, so that there will be a bumper grain harvest, and I will not have to flee the famine." ”
"Naive guy, the grain is abundant, and you still can't eat enough. I have never heard of grain cheapness hurting farmers. Tao Qini snorted coldly and said in an unkind tone, "Besides, as long as you are still a tenant farmer, how much grain we grow, it is all the landlord's." ”
"Ahh Tao Liuyi wilted like a frosted eggplant, and suddenly said energetically, "Then we will be the master." ”
"This landlord, you just shout." Tao fifteen looked at his innocent son and said with a smile.
"By the way, how can my father become a landlord!" Tao Liuyi's pure eyes looked at Tao Fifteen and asked seriously.
"You kid?" Tao Fifteen looked at him and cried and laughed, "I don't understand anything, just thinking about the local master?" ”
"I just don't know how to ask." Tao Liuyi looked at him and blinked innocently.
"Then endure hardships and stand hard work, save money, and buy land." Tao Fifteen said honestly.
"Save money! When I went to the city, I relied on this strength to earn money, save money to buy land, and let my father and mother and Nier live the life of a landlord. Tao Liuyi's pure eyes reveal his expectations and yearning for life.
Yao Changsheng looked at them honestly, in a simple and simple way, and smiled, "In fact, if you study and gain fame, you can also become a master." ”
"No, no, I don't know a single big character, and I can't even think about it if I get famous." Tao Liuyi hurriedly waved his hand, stretched out his hand and touched his neck and said, "It's still the most realistic, I have the strength to do this." ”
"You're not afraid of encountering corrupt officials! In a word, I will take your land. Yao Changsheng looked at him with a smile in his eyes and said.
"It's not all corrupt officials! There is also a big lord in the sky. Tao Liuyi blinked at him and said with a big grin.
"Don't talk about the number of corrupt officials and the big man of the blue sky? As long as you run into a corrupt official, this life is over. ”
"This ...... That ......," Tao Liuyi scratched his head and said, "Is it possible that I still have to take the test to gain fame at such an old age." ”
Yao Changsheng raised his eyebrows lightly and looked at him Nunu mouth, "Haven't you heard of cultivating and reading heirlooms?" You don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun, you have a lot of benefits to get fame, and you don't have to pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes. After becoming a lifting master, others will squeeze their heads and hang the ground in your name. ”
Hearing the words ploughing and reading heirlooms, Tao Qini said in her heart that after entering the feudal society, the whole history was summed up, and it became: day after day farming, rent collection, rent-free, studying, exams, fame, land annexation and peasant bankruptcy, rapid population growth, famine and uprising, overthrowing the old and establishing the new, and then entering the next round, entering a dead cycle.
"What is this for?" Tao Liuyi looked at him ignorantly and said.
Yao Changsheng briefly talked about the various potential benefits after gaining fame.
Tao Liuyi's eyes widened, as if he had opened the door to a new world, and his mouth could stuff eggs.
"So what's the trouble? As it stands. Tao Qini snorted coldly, and said in a slightly cool voice, "Don't go directly to the old one, and don't come to the new one." ”
Yao Changsheng looked at her in surprise, always feeling that what did this girl know? It's so easy to say.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Rebel! That's a deadly crime! Don't die. Shen slapped her on the back.
"Ahem......" Tao Qini coughed violently.
"Damn, you're really, I don't know how weak Niel is now! And so heavy hands. Tao Fifteen looked at Tao Qini worriedly and asked, "Nier is okay!" ”
"I didn't use any force!" Shen spread out his palm and looked at his rough hand, with an innocent expression.
"Your hand carrying the hoe, even if you don't use it, our little body can't carry it." Tao fifteen looked at her and complained.
