Jingu Garden, in the east of Luoyang City, is surrounded by mountains and rivers, covering an extremely wide area.

The place where Yan Nu Miaohan landed was not far away, and he galloped on a fast horse, and arrived in half an hour.

On the way, Wu Qi and other warriors talked about the law of the puppet Han Empire.

That can only be described in four words: hard work.

Liu Yuan admired the Han Dynasty very much, and once said: If I was born early and met Gaozu, I would like to be his Xiao He.

Therefore, in all aspects, they followed the system of the Han Dynasty, with extremely low taxes and strict laws.

But that is only a superficial law, in fact, the forced labor is so heavy that it is difficult to attach, and every household has a hard target, enslaving the people like cattle and horses.

Wu Qi said: "I am from Yuzhou, and my home is in Yingchuan. The family is relatively solid, so he has practiced martial arts since he was a child. ”

"But as soon as Hu Man came, he took my family's land and gave it to the local scholars."

Yan Nu asked, "Then how can you live?" ”

Wu Qi said bitterly: "Life can still live, after the founding of the country, the imperial court stipulated that each household should cultivate 100 acres of land. ”

"In addition, the imperial court also gave our family 600 mulberry trees, a cow, two pigs, four sheep, and a number of chickens and ducks."

Yan Nu was stunned: "Eh, that's good." ”

He saw the same thing, every house was very solid.

One hundred acres is enough to feed a large family, not to mention that there are mulberry trees, which can subsidize the family.

Wu Qi shook his head and said, "But these are not ours, and the farmland has to be rented to the wealthy family." ”

"As for the mulberry trees, the imperial court forcibly divided them, and required each household to pay two pieces of silk every month, less than the number, twenty whips, and sent to repair the mausoleum and palace."

"Pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks must be raised, and the meat that grows every month is rationed.

"If you raise one dead, you have to pay a high price and buy another one."

Miao Han's face changed greatly: "What! ”

She has been in charge of the government many times, and she also knows the people's livelihood very well, and when she hears such a law, she immediately knows how harsh it is.

What is the concept of two horses of silk a month? That's the efficiency that the best weavers can do, but it requires every household to do it, which drives people crazy.

At the same time, it is necessary to cultivate the fields, raise pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, and also have requirements for the amount of meat grown every month.

If you raise it well, you will lose money if you don't raise it well. This is pure slavery of all people.

It is no wonder that every family has no shortage of food and drink, food and clothing, but they all have sad faces and work hard.

Even if you get sick, you have to continue to work, and you don't dare to waste a little time.

As long as the whole family works intensively, most families can just complete it, and there is absolutely no problem with food and clothing.

If you work hard, you can even live a better life...... This temptation makes every household work with all their might.

"Such heavy labor will tire people to death." Miao Han said angrily.

She finally knew why the people had food and drink, and their bodies were still in deficit like that, and their life expectancy was sharply reduced.

It seems that every family is working hard, the property is extremely rich, and the city is prosperous, but this is purely in exchange for life.

It is no wonder that the places are stable, there is not the slightest turmoil, and it is really that the people have no energy and no heart to think about anything else.

"In addition to farmers, blacksmiths, carpenters, miners, and potters also have their own requirements......

"The Son of Heaven said that everyone in the Han Dynasty is like a dragon."

After Wu Qi finished speaking, Miao Han shouted ridiculously.

If this continues, the treasury will be extremely full, and the wealthy will be full of money, but many people will die of exhaustion and illness, and they will die of poverty if they can't stand it anymore.

"This is even more excessive than the forced labor of Ah Weng and me back then." The flame slave roared.

He used to work day and night with Ah Weng, but the pressure was not great, and if he wanted to rest, he would be whipped twice, and he would be lazy when he got the opportunity.

But the people here are actually worse than serfs.

They are ostensibly free people, but they have a lot of supplies, and if they want to live a better life, they just need to work harder.

So in order to live a better life, he will spur himself. Afraid of losses, they will work hard.

Such desperate internal friction is equivalent to a slave who does not need to be overseered.

Even if a few families don't want to do it, most of them have worked hard to complete it, and the court can control the people with a little reward and punishment.

Miao Leng said coldly: "Which great sage is this who has set the national policy?" I know that if you want to take, you must give it first. ”

"Aren't you afraid that there will be fewer and fewer people?"

She saw the drawbacks at a glance, let's not talk about exhaustion and illness, who has time to raise children after such hard work? Its costs have skyrocketed.

Yan Nu pulled out his spear: "Luoyang is in front!" ”

He is highly motivated and has burst into battle.

But Miao Han grabbed her again: "Yan slave, we are not here to fight. ”

"If you want to fight, wait for me to give Zu Longqi to the beggar army, you can fight as much as you want."

"But for now, bear with me."

Yan Nu still had to say something, Miao Han stared at her: "Do you believe me?" ”

Hearing this, Yan Nu smiled: "I believe you, because of my recklessness, I don't know how many things have happened." ”

"Don't worry, I'll listen to you this time. Cher, just don't forget, I'm the sharpest gun in the world! ”

Miao Han also smiled, looking at the crowd of people in front of him, and the golden valley garden was full of flowers.

"Then come with me."

On the way, she had already inquired about the current situation in Luoyang.

Liu Yuan, the puppet emperor of the Han Dynasty, admired the Han Dynasty very much, and he handed over all the civil affairs to the four major families of Shi, Zhao, Tang, and Yang and their protégés, and made many hard requirements for it.

For example, if you want to build a palace, you have to build it no matter what, otherwise you will kill people.

And because of the constant wars with foreign countries, there are great requirements for materials, and these are all thrown to the four major families.

He subdued these family lords and gave them high power and respect, and naturally he had to gain something.

And the four major families are indeed very 'competitive', which has created today's abundant products.

Therefore, Liu Yuan attaches more importance to the scholars.

The scholars have always loved to talk about the mysteries, and in recent months, there have been many masters who have descended from the cultivation world to the mortal realm!

This further stimulated the atmosphere of Shilin, who talked about the Tao all day long, pointed out the country, and was proud to make friends with immortal cultivators.

Every few days, Shilin will hold a gathering.

In the past, the protagonist of this kind of elegant gathering was a certain celebrity, but since the large-scale arrival of immortal cultivators, elegant gatherings all over Kyushu have gradually become a kind of social gathering with immortal cultivators as the core.

If an immortal cultivator came to him, the local scholars would immediately flock to him and set up an elegant gathering, just to make friends with him.

The dragon and tiger sent Quyang real people to come, Shilin held an elegant gathering, the phosphosphors of Zhongnan Mountain came, and Shilin held an elegant gathering.

Such an atmosphere also affected Liu Yuan.

In order to get more scholars to join and the help of immortal cultivators, Liu Yuan issued a recruitment order.

Guangnashi people, even the poor do not let go, as long as they are talented, he is not stingy with rewards.

Jinguyuan is a luxurious manor of stone pets, where elegant gatherings are often held, and now it has become a place for recruiting talents.

Every once in a while, people from the four major families will gather here to make an assessment, recommend a few talents, and formulate some good policies that are beneficial to the country.

"Women?"

The guards outside the Golden Valley Garden didn't say anything after looking at Miao Han, who was visiting.

Although women can't be officials, this kind of elegant collection often has celebrities to visit, leaving some good stories and the names of talented women.

A middle-aged scribe greeted him, and the two greeted each other and took Miao Han's prayer post.

She is a typical family girl, although the Anqiu Zhu clan has been destroyed, but she is still alive, so the family is still there.

The Zhu family is a six-grade family, which belongs to the 'middle and lower' grades.

"It turned out to be the young lady of the Anqiu Zhu family, can you recommend it?" The middle-aged scribe looked at Miao Han in surprise.

He wasn't surprised by anything else, but surprised that Miao Han came on horseback, not in a car.

Miao Han shook her head slightly: "The little girl's trip is only to visit Lord Shi, not anything else." ”

As he spoke, he offered a piece of jade.

The jade quality is wonderful, and there is a faint vitality like a phoenix bird, this is a piece of extremely high-grade spiritual jade! It was taken by Miao Han from the treasury of the Lushan Immortal Sect.

When the middle-aged scribe saw such a valuable gift, he understood it and asked her to wait a while, and went in with the jade in his hand to report.

Soon after, he came out with a smile on his face and personally led Miao Han into the garden: "Miss Zhu, please." ”

Miao Han behaved appropriately and entered gracefully, and at this moment, Yan Nu seemed to see the shadow of her mother Leqin.

I was stunned for a moment, and followed up with a smile.

"Servants don't have to be brought in, Miss Zhu, there are all kinds of things in the garden, there are tens of thousands of servants, and anyone who enters this garden will be treated by Shi Weng." The middle-aged scribe said proudly, and stretched out his hand to keep Yan Nu out.

He didn't know who he was blocking, only that this young man with a simple and kind smile on his face was a pariah.

The untouchables and the sons of the family can basically be distinguished from the surface. Miao Han's demeanor and temperament, anyone with a little eyesight knows that she must be a noble daughter of the family.

And the Yan slave ...... Identification at a glance, iron pariahs.

Miao Han stopped, turned around and smiled: "She is my personal maid, inseparable from me, and please be accommodating." ”

The middle-aged scribe was stunned: "This is a woman?" ”

He looked at Yan Nu carefully, well, it was really a woman.

I didn't recognize it at first sight, how can a woman be so arrogant in her head and walking posture?

"Even so, weapons are not to be brought in!"

Hearing this, Yan Nu smiled and directly took off the spear and threw it to the guards.

For him, it's the same with or without weapons.

A few people walked through the porch, and they were greeted by a scene of extreme luxury.

Yan Nu was still smiling innocently at first, but soon the smile disappeared, his eyes were full of shock and dazedness, and he looked like he had never seen the world.

The seventh sense is very different from what you see with your own eyes. The former is inverted from the microscopic, in other words, if the macroscopic form is something that Yan Nu does not recognize, then what he senses is a bunch of atoms, and he will not recognize what it is.

Big, the first reaction is huge!

The entire Golden Valley Garden really encompasses the entire valley and makes it an interior scene!

As for the building, it is even more beautiful and indescribable.

Pavilion pavilion trees, intertwined with light, high platform insertion, trees towering clouds!

I saw a dazzling array of flowers, which were real gold and jade dotted like stones at my feet.

The pearl curtain overhead, tens of thousands, they walked by, collided with it, and the sound of tinkling beautiful pearls sounded over their heads.

Beautiful silks and brocades can be seen everywhere, spread on the ground, and wrapped around steps and tree trunks.

All kinds of strange flowers and plants, there are wonderful things in the mortal world, and there are also strange things that can only be seen in the world of cultivating immortals.

Many plants, even Yan Nu had only seen them in the mountain and sea realm, but I didn't expect them to be transplanted here.

In addition, there are countless treasures of exotic beasts.

The cranes are singing, the birds are singing, the white tiger is lazily licking its paws, and the crane is coiled on the pavilion......

Mountains and water, interspersed with this huge estate, the scenery of the four seasons exist at the same time, distributed in all directions, and the beauty is indescribable.

Everywhere I went, there were countless servants and maids, they were handsome and beautiful, and their clothes were more beautiful than those of the young lady of the family, and more graceful than the noble lady.

When they meet, they salute, behave appropriately, neatly, and have a tactful and beautiful voice, as if they have been trained thousands of times.

Yan Nu was completely shocked by the luxury here, he was born as a pariah, and he had never seen such a shocking mansion.

The garden of the Zhang family and the mansion of the Chang family are completely incomparable, as if they are worlds apart.

Even Shen Molian's 'Moxuan Palace' may be worth surpassing, but the shock to Yan Nu is far inferior to the Golden Valley Garden in this mortal world.

"Oh my God, how much did it cost?" Yan Nu couldn't help but ask.

The middle-aged scribe looked back at him and smiled faintly: "Hehe, it's vulgar to talk about money." ”

"Although Jingu Garden is one of the eight scenic spots in Luoyang, in Shi Weng's eyes, it is just a courtyard, and he usually entertains some friends as a place to stay."

"This garden has been built for decades, in order to make friends happy and happy, and not to make this place old, the scene here must be changed every year, and strive to be different every year, and every year is wonderful......

Miao Han's breathing became short, and her little fists couldn't help but clench.

Not to mention the Yan slave, you have to change it every year? Now it is an unprecedented time of turmoil, every day, every hour, and even every breath, people starve to death in his underworld.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a dungeon, Yan Nu would have been unable to bear his temperament.

"Golden Valley Garden, what a Golden Valley Garden."

Yan Nu stared at Miao Han's back, and the two had the same heart.

Miao Han sighed slightly, and said, "Can you sense that stone pet?" ”

"I've seen him a long time ago." Yannu Cave is like watching the fire, although the entire Golden Valley Garden is huge, it is under his control.

Miao Han smiled: "That being the case, don't be in a hurry." ”

"I want to see how elegant the demeanor of the first-class gate valve can be."

……

:I'm sorry.
