Chapter 666 - A Trip to the Northwest

"Taisun, do you think that brother of my family has drunk too much, he is too idle to let me go to the Tingwei Mansion?"

"I don't know.... But you still don't want to call the lonely grandson.

Now Lone, like the servant beside you, is the servant scholar in your Liu Mansion. ”

"Why is Taisun so serious...."

"It's not serious, it's that Lone feels that this trip is probably dangerous, the grandson is easy to die, the scholar... If necessary, you can die for Lonely! ”

"......" Liu Tao looked at the grandson Liu Cheng in front of him, and his face couldn't stop trembling, "Isn't it a little bad for you to say this, grandson."

After all, this is His Majesty's order, and we're going to the Tingwei Mansion... It's not a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, what are you afraid of, grandson?

It's just that again.... Look at the Tingwei Mansion... Is there something wrong with Dong Hong, how could he enter the Tingwei Mansion on the first day, and before he understood the rules, he was sent to Yongliang on business?

This... Are they jealous of your young master's peerless appearance? ”

At this time, on the official road to the land of Yongliang, two old horses that were old enough to know the way were carrying three young people, a master, a servant and a child, towards the northwest.

One of the young men who was dressed in gorgeous costumes, but who was like a broken mouth, was naturally the younger brother of the great Han Jing Zhaoyin, Liu Tao, who was known as the King of Jingshi and Living Yama.

As for his side, in addition to the childish grandson, he is the servant of the Yang family, and his ancestors have been loyal servants of the Yang family for several generations.

I don't know a word since I was a child, but I have learned a good skill, although I don't dare to say anything to push the three mountains and upside down the five mountains, but even if this force is placed in the army, it can at least hold on to being stabbed to death for a while and a half...

And the reason why they appeared here was not because of anything else, it was precisely because Liu Tao was forced by his old man to enter the Nating Governor's Mansion to take up an official position.

With His Majesty's graceful will, this is a matter of course.

And Liu Tao has also made all kinds of preparations, whether he will be treated harshly in the Nating Governor's Mansion, or will he be deliberately found faulty...

In short, he had already thought of a lot of possibilities, and then he also recalled all the TV series that belonged to the power plot palace fight in his memory in his previous life.

In the end, he finally mustered up his courage and walked into the palace of the Nating Governor's Mansion.

But it was completely different from what he expected, and the entire Tingwei Mansion, from Dong Hong, the secretary of the Tingwei Mansion, to many officials and even servants in the Tingwei Mansion, could be regarded as very busy.

The figure running back and forth is all telling Liu Tao that this job is not so easy to do....

"You are new here, and now there is no one in my Tingwei Mansion to teach you any rules.

It just so happens that this imperial court has some orders to be sent to the land of Yongliang, and there happens to be a case in the land of Yongliang that has been sent to my court governor's mansion, hoping that I will wait to give a charter.

You've come just in time, so it's up to you! ”

Dong Hong, the secretary of the Imperial Palace, directly gave Liu Tao such a sentence after seeing Liu Tao, which suddenly made Liu Tao, who had just arrived, stunned in place.

But Liu Tao is also a smart person, and after seeing this situation, he didn't want to bow down immediately, and then started to go home and pack his bags without saying a word.

When his brother Liu Yu found out about this, he was also taken aback, and even went back to ask him.

"Are you really willing to leave this prosperous place in Kyoto?"

"I'm reluctant, but if I continue to stay, I'm afraid that one day I will die in the Tingwei Mansion!"

"The bitter cold of the northwest..."

"Anyway, no one always wants to hurt me!"

After Liu Tao left these two answers, he directly carried the packed bags directly on his shoulders, and recruited an old horse and a lot of money by the way.

It's okay to go out without anything, but definitely not without money!

He still knows this rule very well.

And Liu Yu looked at his younger brother who went out for the first time, although his own son was very interested, but in the end he chose to find him an entourage to escort him.

I guess I can barely put myself at ease.

Of course, it was also because there was an amazing figure following this time, although I didn't understand what that majesty meant.

But.... Now that we've reached this point, we can't just assume that we don't know.

Liu Tao didn't have much travel experience along the way, but fortunately, Yang Tie was definitely a loyal servant of the Yang family, not to mention that he had been raised in the Yang family since he was a child, and he followed the caravan outside all the year round to and from many places.

It's a pretty experienced guy.

With the help of the loyal servant Yang Tie, the two little guys, Liu Tao and Liu Cheng, finally had a thrilling time along the way.

After more than a month, the two of them officially left Tongguan and entered the Yongliang realm, and it was at this moment that Liu Tao realized what was called the land of bitter cold.

Just after that, the scenery and climate were barely normal, but as they continued to move in the northwest direction, the weather became worse and worse.

In the back, it was almost yellow sand, and the wind and sand were constant.

He completely surrounded his face with a sheepskin jacket, leaving only a gap for his squinted eyes to look at the road ahead.

Don't dare to open your mouth at will, otherwise you will eat the next bite of the wind and sand.

The robe on his body was even more so, the wind and sand made them embarrassed, making their clothes seem to be covered with sand and soil, which made Liu Tao's body extremely uncomfortable.

The destination of their trip was a small county town called Changli County in the northwest.

Dong Hong, the official of the Tingwei Mansion, did not give it to Liu Tao, but asked him to go directly to the local county magistrate and ask him carefully.

Of course, let him inquire about the matter carefully.

For this reason, Liu Tao was also confused, I don't know what Dong Hong thinks, what does it mean to toss like this?

The grandson on the side was also full of resentment about this, and always felt that it didn't matter if Dong Hong despised Liu Tao too much, but why did he have to suffer this crime?

This is simply too bullying!

In this regard, Liu Tao comforted the other party instead.

"Who makes the family the Tingwei Mansion, since we are serving in the Tingwei Mansion, under the noses of others, we naturally have to abide by the rules of others.

This Changli County is not big, and there are quite a few things about stealing chickens and dogs in Pingsuli, but if you can alarm the Tingwei Mansion and let the Tingwei Mansion personally send someone down to investigate....

Yang Tie! ”

"No!"

"You go and inquire first, what's going on here, is there something big going on in this county recently?"

"No!"

Looking at the servant who rushed away directly after bowing down to receive the order, Liu Tao's breathing slowly became heavy.

He is not a fool, although he doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in Liu Yu's gourd, and he doesn't know what Dong Hong wants to do to himself, and why he has to let himself come here.

But he knows very well that Dong Hong is indeed a high power, but that is also for others.

And for him .... This Dong Hong is just a court lieutenant of the Tingwei Mansion, and his brother is still Jing Zhaoyin.

Now that the imperial court has banned the Sili school captain, this Jing Zhaoyin is the Si Li school captain back then, if there is really a quarrel... His brother wasn't afraid of any little lieutenants!

Even if he wanted to declare a personal vendetta, he would not do anything stupid, and his brother would definitely stare at him twelve hours a day.

The old man didn't make any moves until he left his house, which means that he knows about this northwest thing.

And... It's still a matter that really needs to be done by the Tingwei Mansion.

"This thing.... It's getting more and more interesting...."

At this time, Liu Tao listed all the clues he knew, and looked at the cloth in front of him and couldn't help but grope his chin.

His eyes also began to flicker....

And half a day later, until the sun had set, the servant Yang Tie returned to Liu Tao and Liu Cheng with a strange look.

"Childe... This thing... It's a bit of a hassle..."

When Yang Tie came back, his face was already full of iron, and it could even be said that his face was already very ugly!

"Why, could it be that there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials in this small Changli County who persecute and persecute the people..."

"If that's the case, that's fine!" Yang Tie, whose face had turned the color of pig liver, directly handed the cloth in his hand to Liu Tao in front of him, "Please take a look at it yourself..."

Looking at Yang Tie's appearance, Liu Tao's face couldn't help but wrinkle, with a little curiosity and hesitation, he took the cloth, and then slowly opened it...

"Shhh........hh This is simply nonsense, are the officials of Changli County crazy? ”

In this cloth, it is said that this Changli County is as big as it is today, or it is a matter worthy of being dealt with by their Imperial Governor's Mansion.

After Liu Tao saw this scene, he even felt that the heads of the officials in the court were kicked by donkeys, how could someone say such nonsense.

It was even able to pass, and even try it out!

"Go to the government immediately... Go now! Liu Tao couldn't wait at this time, he felt that it was necessary for him to meet with the officials of Changli County for a while.

Where the hell did this thing come from?

The government of Changli County is not luxurious, and it even looks a little shabby, after all, this northwest place is bitterly cold, and the harsh climate has led to the extraordinary poverty in this place.

And the southwest mountains have a fight already.

In this kind of place, no matter how much it is repaired, it will not be related to luxury, not to mention this Changli County... Not a person who likes to repair the government.

"Look at this government, this county order is not a wicked person, but this evil government... How can they do it! ”

The slightest carelessness in this kind of thing will hurt people's lives, even if it is light, it will be half a life.

How can such a situation not lead to a popular uprising?

If there really is such a thing in the court, it will be able to make Liu Tao understand why the Tingwei Mansion wants to send people to stay in such a place.

I'm afraid it's not just the Tingwei Mansion in the back... Even the people on the three law divisions and even the imperial history platform, as well as the people from the forbidden army and the state and county government offices, had to gather here.

The famous thorn has been handed over, Liu Tao has all the problems, but there is nothing wrong with it.

That is, he never does such a shit as taking off his pants and farting.

What goes deep into the people, plainclothes visits... He grew up in that circle, and he knew all too well what was going on here, except for some very special circumstances.

Even if his father had farted a few more farts in the East End House this morning, all the turnips in the kitchen would have to be fed to the dogs in the afternoon.

He's here to run an errand, not to ask for trouble, what kind of calf is he pretending to be?

With the famous assassin sent in, but in a moment, a young scribe came to Liu Tao with the officials of Changli County and bowed to him.

"Changli County Commander Laizhong, meet the envoy!"

"Laizhong..." Liu Tao wanted to nod and then turn around and go in, but just after taking two steps, he suddenly felt that the name was a little familiar.

"The Ambassador..."

"Laizhong... How is your door? Liu Tao thought for a long time and didn't think of who this Zhong was, but this surname is amazing, and there are few people with this surname in the world.

And... This home... It's hard to deal with.

So he always felt the name familiar, but he just couldn't remember it.

But fortunately, this guy is thick-skinned enough.

Since you can't think of it, just ask.

And that Laizhong is indeed as Xiao Gu thought, not an ordinary poor person, but a serious wealthy family.

"My father's name is Min!"

"Laimin... Laimin? Liu Tao looked at Lai Zhong in front of him, and his face couldn't help twitching, "The one from the Jinghu School..."

"My father was indeed because of the first emperor, he left Yizhou and then went around to study, and finally taught in the Jinghu area, speaking of... It's a bit famous."

"Does your dad have some reputation? That's called the founder..."Liu Tao's face trembled and left even more, and he couldn't help but be polite when he looked at Na Laizhong.

This is really no way, his father and brother Liu Tao are important ministers in the court, but they have to be polite when they see Laizhong's own father Lai Min.

This is not to say that Lai Min is someone in the court, but that he is a serious celebrity, not the kind that blows out, and he is one of the few people who single-handedly founded the Jinghu School.

The Lai clan was originally a famous family of the Han Dynasty, and that Lai Min was a descendant, and it was a great existence in Yizhou back then, but later after the first emperor seized Yizhou, for many reasons, Yizhou and many celebrities who fled to Yizhou from other places were summoned.

Among them is Laimin, and he has been negotiating with them for a long time.

No one knows what the first emperor said back then, but what everyone knows is that after they left from the first emperor, they all left separately and then found their own way.

There are many of them who have really come out with a new idea, even if it doesn't sound like that right now... It fits the world!

For example, the "four people are equal, and all farmers and workers are the foundation" proposed by Na Lai Min back then is even more similar to the world proposed by Prime Minister Zhuge back then.

It can even be said that it is not impossible for two people to be regarded as brothers in the same school.

After all, it is said that this Laimin has also gone to those people in Jingzhou to ask for advice.

Its status in the world is so high that it can be called an existence that people look up to.

"Your Excellency is a descendant of the prince, how could you come to small Changli County... That's it, now that this thing has come out, it makes sense that this county order is for the descendants of the princes. ”

Liu Tao wanted to ask the other party what was going on and why he came here.

But thinking about the letter in his arms, he felt that this thing was quite normal now.

At this time, Liu Tao couldn't help but feel a little swelling pain in his forehead when he thought of the content of the silk book in his arms, and even couldn't help but want to look at the grandson, he always felt that this grandson was a little interesting.

It's normal for him to not know this as a person who has been put on the table, but that grandson won't know it.

In recent years, because of the stability of the world, the population of the people has finally recovered greatly, but it is true that there have been many problems in some places.

The main thing is that in some places where the land is barren enough, their land is decreasing more and more, and the people who have grown over the years have made the places where they are somewhat unable to supply.

So.... Then some people began to play demons.

For example, in this Changli County, the local people were ordered not to give birth to children like crazy, and each family could only have three children, regardless of gender.

Otherwise, you should be punished heavily!

When Liu Tao saw the news, he almost scolded his mother directly, what kind of pig brain can come up with such an amazing thing.

They don't want to die!

At this time, after he knew Lai Zhong's identity, Liu Tao didn't have too many scruples, and let everyone retreat with a swing of his hand, and then pulled Lai Zhong into the study.

That stance... I don't know, I thought this was Liu Tao going home.

It's a good trick to be anti-customer-oriented! The descendants of the Great Confucian were stunned and didn't react, and when they heard Liu Tao's sentence "You're welcome, find a place to sit by yourself", they really found a place to sit down...

"The Ambassador..."

"Don't go up and down, what's going on with this?" Liu Tao made it clear that he didn't intend to give Lai Zhong a chance to react.

When Lai Zhong was just about to speak, he preemptively slapped the silk book in his arms in front of Lai Zhong, and then scolded Lai Zhong directly with a bit of anger in his eyes.

"Brother Lai, I have long heard that Ling Zun once proposed that the four people are equal, and the peasants and workers are all the same, and he is the real Confucian celebrity of my Han Dynasty.

But as such a great Confucian, how can you do such a thing that aids and abets, do you know what you are doing! ”

Lai Zhong looked at Liu Tao, who came up and scolded him, he didn't have the slightest sense of surprise on his face, he just picked up the silk book that fell to the ground indifferently.

Then with a bit of pity, with a bit of determination, he said a word to Liu Tao.

"Of course I do... I'm saving the world! ”

"Are you doing it for the world?" Liu Tao looked at Lai Zhong in front of him, and was stunned for a while and didn't react to what this guy was saying just now, "Isn't Lai Xianjun's hangover yesterday not sober?" ”

"The lower official doesn't dare, but what the lower official said is true!"

At this time, of course, Lai Zhong saw this Liu Tao's roar, and he also knew that this Liu Tao was not a good person.

But he still insisted on his statement, and this time Liu Tao really wanted to laugh.

He prefers vertical and horizontal, but it's the first time he's seen someone even more dead than himself!

"It's true, but you can tell me, how can you be true!" Liu Tao was still talking nonsense when he saw that Lai Zhongdu had come to this point, and he was really a little angry.

"You'd better give me an explanation today, or else... I'm afraid you can't get out of here alone. ”

After hearing Liu Tao's words, Na Laizhong didn't feel any fear, he just looked at Liu Tao in front of him very indifferently, and then bowed slightly and asked a series of questions.

"Can the envoy know how many ridges can be used for cultivation in this northwest land, and what is the annual yield?"

"The imperial court calculates the population every year, how many people did this northwest land have in previous years, and how many people are there now, since the envoy is from the imperial court, then he thinks he has a number in his heart, right?"

"In addition, the envoy knows how much the people in the northwest need to eat every day..."

"That's it!" Liu Tao directly raised his hand to interrupt these words, it was not that he couldn't listen to them or was annoyed and angry, but he didn't know these at all.

Before coming.... Before he came, he was still thinking about the emerald flowers of the Yi Red Mansion!

Looking at Liu Tao's gloomy face, Lai Zhong seemed to understand something, his face was a little embarrassed, and at the same time a little embarrassed.

But soon he let his face return to normal, he didn't know what kind of virtue Liu Tao was in Kyoto, but he had been preparing for today for a long time.

"The envoy, the subordinate has now prepared a list of all the accounts required by the envoy, and please take a look."

With Na Laizhong's words, several thick accounts appeared in front of Liu Tao, and he saw a bunch of numbers that made him dizzy when he looked through them at will.

But fortunately, after years of training and governance by Prime Minister Zhuge and the first emperor, there has been a lot of progress in this account book, at least the form is not bad.

Although Liu Tao couldn't see whether there were any fake accounts in this account book, he really saw something different from it.

"This..."

"I think the envoy has already discovered that there are already problems in the fields of my northwest land in the past few years.

At that time, Prime Minister Zhuge helped His Majesty to sit firmly in the world, and in order to win the hearts of the people of the world, he began to divide the fields, directly measured the fields and ridges of the world, and then forcibly distributed them to the people of the world from the hands of countless wealthy families.

Even in order to allow the people to have land in their hands in the future, it will not be seized by others, following the system of the first Zhou Dynasty in those years, and all the fields and ridges will be assigned to the state, and the people are not allowed to buy and sell at will.

The Envoy thinks this is a good thing? ”

"That's a good thing!" When Liu Tao replied to this sentence again, it was called a joy!

Although he is the evil one now, he still thinks that this is a good policy, after all, their old Liu family did not start from many fields.

If they want money, they have money, if they want food... They don't rebel, why do they save so much food when they are idle?

As for the wealthy family .... What should exist is still there, what doesn't exist has been cleaned up, and this thing itself is constantly being updated these years!

Therefore, the ridges under the sky are given to the people who should be given the most, which is of course an excellent thing in Liu Tao's eyes, even if he is not a saint for the country and the people, he thinks so!

It's just that when Liu Tao finished speaking, this Laizhong couldn't help but shake his head.

"I understand what the envoy meant, and even this was the original intention of Prime Minister Zhuge back then, but after so many years, things have already been wrong!

It is only in this northwestern land that the people were given ridges of fields, they could grow food, and in the first few years, without the oppression of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, they could even eat a meal of meat around the winter festival.

What a happy day it was, but how long could it last? ”

"That's naturally going to be able to be..."

"Does the envoy also think that the things of this world are immutable?" Lai Zhong directly interrupted Liu Tao's words with a loud shout, "How has Your Majesty done all these years?"

Although the world is not so stable, for many years, His Majesty has not built palaces, not conscripted many levies, and has not used troops to recuperate so that the people can live better.

I don't know if such an emperor can be regarded as a Ming monarch? ”

"....." Liu Tao heard these words, thinking of the policies of the world over the years, and he nodded slowly after a short silence at the end, "For the people, Your Majesty is indeed a Ming Jun!" ”

For Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, it may not be.

"Such a Ming monarch governs the world, and there is farmland in his hands, God has blessed my Wu Dynasty over the years, I dare not say that the wind and rain are smooth, but it can be regarded as giving hope to the people of my Wu Dynasty.

I don't know what the envoy thinks, in this case .... The people of my Wu Dynasty and the people of my northwest eat some good food, build a good house, and have a few more children to strengthen the family.

Is it really unforgivable, and it is really a heinous sin?"

"Nonsense, you don't want to talk nonsense here!" Liu Tao almost jumped up directly after hearing Na Laizhong's words, "This is just human nature..."

"But it's this person's nature that makes them unable to live!

Twenty years... Twenty years have passed since the first division of the field!

In twenty years' time, the children of those people have grown up, and they now need a livelihood, a living livelihood to support themselves!

I wonder what method the envoy thinks the official should use to support them?

If it is the heir in the government-run workshop, they can also take over their elders and continue to go to the government-run workshop to learn a craft.

But will this ruler divide their father's and mother's land?

In the past few years, the official did not think of other ways, and at first let those people reclaim new land, and use the reclaimed land to pacify these people today.

But... Not only did the newly cultivated land take too long, but the northwest is such a big place.

He is different from other places, where mountains can be opened and wasteland can be cultivated, and this northwest is windy and sandy every year, and the wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger.

No matter how hard you try to cultivate the ridges, you will not be able to use one in the end!

In the end, a huge amount of financial resources and manpower were spent, and the results obtained were indeed quite unsatisfactory.

And that's not all.... The official even went to take out the Northwest Shace of Prime Minister Zhuge to govern this place.

Back then, the first emperor got this northwest land, and he also knew that it was not easy for the people in the northwest, and he once left the method of sand control, and the prime minister made a supplement.

Let the people in the northwest go to cultivate anti-sarin to alleviate it, but how to calculate the cost, how to calculate the cost, the children of those people have not experienced the misery of their ancestors, and they can't stand this.

They don't want that, so what?

In recent years, due to wars and many other reasons, people have not even been allowed to wander around to prevent the recurrence of large-scale displacement.

But don't let the people wander... The rich land of the Central Plains has not had to worry about the lack of land for more than a hundred years, but what about the barren land in my northwest?

They don't have that much land, and the people are good enough to live, and this is not the time for one generation to another.

After three generations, the people of the northwest will have no extra ridges to divide!

Prime Minister Zhuge created a dream for the people of the world, but now, this dream.... It's just broken.

Envoy, please also tell the lower officials what we should do at such a time to let their dreams continue. ”

At this time, Lai Zhong's words had already reached this point, and Liu Tao was finally stunned.

At this moment, when Lai Zhong laid out all the truth in front of him, he finally understood the most superficial and helpless fact and truth.

That is the things that the first emperor and Prime Minister Zhuge made back then, in fact, they should not have appeared like this.

This is not that the first emperor and Zhuge Cheng are wrong, nor is this policy wrong, but this extremely correct decision should not appear in that time period.

"Although the method of dividing the fields is good, in the final analysis, it is only a temporary strategy rather than a permanent move, and even because of the division of the fields, the people have nothing to do in the future.

When generations grow up, there is no new thing for them to regain money for them to survive.

Then these people will begin to become a scourge ....

That's what Brother Lai meant, right? ”

At this time, Liu Tao also said this directly, and his straightforward words seemed to be a recognition of Lai Zhong's previous words.

It was also so that Laizhong couldn't help but glance at Liu Tao.

Or he didn't expect that the envoy from the capital was not annoyed and angry because of his words, nor did he criticize himself because of the name of the first emperor and Prime Minister Zhuge .

He even followed his own words and realized the meaning of his words.

This has to be said to make Na Laizhong's heart relax slightly, and then bow to Na Liu Tao, indicating that he really meant this.

After getting Lai Zhong's approval, Liu Tao's face became even more ugly.

At the same time, the little scholar who had been silent couldn't help but think of a sentence he had seen before.

Or rather, a national policy that many of his gentlemen debated.

"The whole world is not the king's land!"

This was the national policy set by the Zhou Dynasty back then, and of course it can also be called the Jingtian system.

Although the Zhou Dynasty had incomprehensible darkness in many places, he divided the land of the country to the people, and then divided it into public land and private land, so that the people of the world could continue to cultivate.

Is this national policy good?

Of course it's not good, otherwise it wouldn't have been abandoned by the times and time.

However, this national policy has always been appreciated by "capable people" of all eras, and they have frantically emulated it.

Confucian Daoya Shengmengzi, the Wang Mang who once made the people of the Han Dynasty extremely painful, even... Liu Tao feels that there will be a steady stream of people raising this kind of thing in the future.

Because this kind of thing is really tempting!

They are all working to restore the well field system not because their brains have been watered, but because they want to take back all the land in the world into their own hands.

Or rather, it was withdrawn into the hands of the imperial court at that time, and then the imperial power and power were consolidated.

This idea is good, but this problem is also very serious, Liu Cheng may not have understood it before, but now he seems to understand it a little.

That's twenty years from now, or a generation from now....

The land of the dynasty has changed, but this change will not be too fast, if there is no long campaign, if there is no crazy attack, if there is no consumption of a large population.

Or rather.... When people can really live and work in peace and contentment, their life expectancy will be extended, and the birth of newborns will continue to flow.

Lands of bounty can still have a balance for hundreds of years, but some barren lands will soon reach an extreme!

That is, the increase in their population will be higher than the increase in land, which will leave the new generation of people without the land they need to live on, thus making them slowly fall into confusion and even poverty.

Poverty leads to change, let alone a group of poor people who have no livelihood?

So they have to find a way to survive, and they think... The imperial court may not have it.

Of course, not using the well field system, or not using this method, directly handing over the rights to the land to those wealthy families is also a way to consolidate the imperial power.

In short, the contradiction between the common people and the emperor became a contradiction between the common people and the wealthy families.

Let the wealthy families bear the burden of this population increase.

The advantage is that there is a buffer zone between the court and the people, and then if you wait until the wealthy families below absorb more resentment, then you can directly attack it.

The most classic example... It should be the political environment of Emperor Taizu Gao and his later periods.

The Han Dynasty established by Emperor Taizu Gao was recorded in the codex of official promotions, and there were always three things to do whenever officials were released!

Kill the strong, divide the land, all the wealth to gather the people's hearts, and then build water conservancy, reclaim farmland, relieve the pressure of the people, and finally promote education to lead to political communication and ...

Relying on this method, the officials of the first generation of the Han Dynasty were really full of people, and they killed the local heroes and the same as the third grandson.

But this can also save a time but not a life.

At the same time, the biggest aftermath of this has also appeared, that is, the wealthy family is not stupid, and they may not be able to react once or twice.

But as things multiply, they finally began to learn to resist, and even learn to change...

As a result, after a great turmoil, the situation of the wealthy family and the imperial power jointly ruling the world slowly took shape.

And the struggle between the imperial power and the relatives above the court slowly evolved into multiple wrestling between the imperial power, the relatives, the eunuchs, and the Qingliu family.

This era is called the Later Han Dynasty....

Of course, these histories are not important to Liu Tao and Liu Cheng, and he doesn't care much about the development of these histories.

What he cares about is.... How to change this kind of thing.

At this time, Liu Cheng seemed to have discovered the most fatal problem of the famous Emperor and Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng.

That is, they absolutely have insight beyond this era, and then he also used this insight to make changes in this era that ordinary people can't do, or even can't understand.

But he couldn't last forever, and the people behind them didn't understand the root of it and comprehend their thoughts.

So in the end, I can only follow the script.

At this time, Liu Cheng couldn't help but look at Liu Tao on the side, wanting to see how Liu Tao would break the game.

"Come on, brother!" At this time, Liu Tao, who had figured out these things, suddenly spoke, "So now the imperial court has issued such an edict to curb the population.

Or rather, we have to curb this runaway population, and then move on to governance...

But come and go, brother know, even if we do it seriously, we can even be more decisive and ruthless.

But this is still a palliative, not a cure.

The gradual loss of control of the world is not due to the rapid growth of the population, or the inability to put all the reasons above the people.

I don't know what Brother Lai thinks? ”

"Brother Liu still thinks like this?" At this time, Lai Zhong looked at Liu Tao in front of him and couldn't help frowning slightly, as if he felt that he couldn't see the guy in front of him clearly.

"Shouldn't Liu have this kind of thought?" Liu Tao is also smiling now, and he can't help but be a little puzzled when he looks at Na Laizhong.

This guy looks at himself so strangely, could it be that he has heard of the reputation of my living Hades back then?

It's just that he really doesn't have time to say this at this time, because he has more important things to do, and Na Laizhong is also back to normal at this time.

"Brother Liu, since you can say such words, you already have your own thoughts.

If you don't dislike it, you might as well just say it...."

Lai Zhong seemed to see the difference between this Liu Tao, and directly invited Liu Tao to make him a little excited.

After all, compared to the fox friends and dog friends he knew before, this Lai Zhong is a real young man at this time.

But after people are still celebrities, it is not surprising that they will have to start as a celebrity in the future!

With such a friend, I can speak louder when I go to the Qinglou in the future!
