Chapter 517: The Cold Gate (Three Watches)
"This cotton is very important to you?" Ye Sanniang's deep black eyes looked directly at Lord Lu and said.
"Yes! Very important. Lord Lu greeted her jet-black pupils and said frankly, "But now that the dealer is not selling, I really have no way at all." He arched his hand and said, "And the old men in the court said that the government must not compete with the people for profit!" ”
Ye Sanniang gritted her back molars and slandered in her heart: It's a good thing not to compete with the people!
"You're the prefect!" Ye Yanxing looked at Lord Lu incredulously and said, "If you say one, no one dares to say two!" ”
"What are you going to say about this?" Lord Lu pursed his lips and looked at them and said, "The north has been controlled by the alien race for many years...... giving them a look that you understand.
But Ye Yanxing and the two brothers understand!
"Wanting to integrate the north and the south is not something that happens overnight." Ye Sanniang's dark eyes looked at him and said.
Hearing this, Lord Lu looked at her with a bright smile on his face and said, "That's right. ”
"Can you step back left and right?" Ye Sanniang's willow eyebrows looked at him with thick eyes that couldn't melt into ink and said.
"Yes!" Lord Lu summoned the servants and asked all the people in the second hall to withdraw.
"Lord Lu just said that he is competing with the people for profit? Who do you understand to mean by the people? Ye Sanniang's dark eyes looked at him and asked.
"Of course, it's the people of the world." Lord Lu said without thinking.
Ye Sanniang pursed her lips and nodded, leaning back on the back of the chair, "The foundation of the people, the cornerstone of the country." And this people refers to the majority of ordinary people, not high-ranking officials and nobles, leeches lying on the people to suck blood. ”
"Are you biased?" Lord Lu frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Biased?" Hearing this, Ye Sanniang raised her eyebrows and looked at him lightly and said, "Lord Lu can go and see their family history, which one is clean, and they all came by stepping on other people's blood." It is full of forcible robbery, taking advantage of the fire to rob. ”
"When we first arrived in Hedong Village, Song Daguan had a bad reputation because my mother had just been released from prison that day. Tenant farmers were reluctant to harvest sorghum. The Song officials proposed that my family's 500 acres of land would only be given 500 taels of silver. Ye Yanxing looked at Lord Lu with dark and clear eyes and said.
"This blatant robbery!" Lord Lu looked at her with a dark face and said, "Why didn't you say it that day?" ”
"Don't talk about that, it's fine. I didn't sell it to him. Ye Sanniang's moist eyes looked at him and said, "To get back to the point, the number of acres is definitely a symbol of power." ”
"That's right! All wealth comes out of the ground. Lord Lu looked at her calmly and said.
"It is difficult for an ordinary farmer to become a landlord with his industrious hands." Ye Sanniang raised her hand and said.
"It's good to be able to solve the problem of food and clothing with just your hands." Lord Lu said frankly.
"In this world, there is nothing that is not difficult to make money." Ye Sanniang looked at him with clear eyes and said, "Facing the loess with your back to the sky, it's good to be able to mix food and clothing for the rest of your life." ”
"There is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmers are still starving to death." Ye Luoxing looked at Lord Lu with slick eyes and said.
"A natural disaster or a man-made disaster is a good opportunity for them to take advantage of the fire and rob." Ye Sanniang's eyes said coldly, "It's also beautiful: buying and selling is voluntary!" In line with the principle of fairness and justice. At the end, the croppers had to be grateful to the Song officials for being timely rain and relieving the suffering and rescuing the Bodhisattva. Otherwise, the farmer will have to sell his land and his sons and daughters. ”
"Hiss......" Lord Lu's face turned pale and gasped, feeling like he was empowered.
Ye Sanniang looked at him with a layer of warmth in her eyes and said, "It seems that Lord Lu has a deep understanding. ”
"I'm also from a cow herding baby, and what you said is not only seen with your own eyes, but also experienced it yourself." Lord Lu looked at her with deep dark eyes and said, "I once wondered why the family was so tired and tired that they couldn't eat a bite of white flour buns all year round. Suddenly realized, "It turned out that the landlord made it bad." With a dark face, he said, "I'm stupid, and I'm grateful to the landlord for saving his life!" ”
"It's not too late to understand!" Ye Sanniang's deep and bright eyes looked at him and said, "As a parent official, you are the master of the people." Let the farmer rely on natural disasters and man-made disasters, so that he will not be sold, and he will be stupidly grateful to count the money for others. ”
"It's easy to check their family history, and the government has the number of fields and properties on the register. Check the change of title deed. Lord Lu said simply and briskly.
"Can you still say that they are the people?" Ye Sanniang looked at him sharply and said.
"That's good, right? You can't knock over a boatload of people with a single shot. Lord Lu hesitated for a moment and looked at her and said.
"You can look it up, it's hard." Ye Sanniang's eyebrows raised lightly to reveal a deep black pupil and said, "Don't wait to say no, but there are very few people who abide by the law, and most of them eat at both ends." ”
"I'll look into it." Lord Lu looked at her with a straight face and said, pursed his lips and looked at her and said, "Then you want to get rid of the croppers!" ”
"Jump out of the farm, get famous, and become a scholar." Ye Sanniang looked at him with dark eyes flashing when she heard this, and said.
"Imperial examination, serious career." Lord Lu's eyes lit up, he looked at her and said.
"Yes!" Ye Sanniang bowed her head slightly when she heard this, "Just the examination of people has already stepped out of the farmer's gate, and the officials do not kneel, they are exempted from taxes, and many people come to contribute, which is legitimate and legal." You can avoid taxes reasonably, but you can't deliberately evade taxes, which is a crime. ”
"Uh......" Lord Lu hesitated for a moment when he heard this, looked at her and said, "The reward of this cold window hard study, it should be, with these rights, the barriers of the scholar clan have been broken." Then he added, "Counting the dynasties going forward, it's even harder!" ”
"But ordinary people have been shut out." Ye Sanniang's clear eyes looked at him and said, "The so-called children of the Hanmen also have a word for the family, in the past when the concept of the family was strong, the status of the Hanmen corresponded to the Shu clan with a lower status than the Shi clan. Compared with the poor family, it should be a farmer, a poor child, and a proletarian. I can't even afford books, so how can I talk about fame and fortune! The real poor children are so poor that they can't even wear clothes, many farmers have worn a torn dress for generations, and their relatives who have died in their own homes have no thin pipes, and the grass has swept into the soil for peace, and there are no mourning clothes to ......wear," he said after taking a deep breath, "and they have been facing the loess for generations, with their backs to the sky, farming until the last moment of their lives. And they are the majority! It's all living beings! ”
"They are the people, the people of Shengdou!" Ye Sanniang's voice was as thin as snow, tapping on the eardrums of the landing adult.
"Uh......" Lord Lu was speechless.
Sorry, sorry to get busy and forgot.
