Volume 1 Chapter 665 A calm conversation
At this time, to be honest, Xu He really didn't know what to say.
It stands to reason that after pulling out some messy idle articles first, let the other party relax, and then slowly understand the other party's power, and finally whether to hand it over to the imperial court, or make another choice, and postpone the discussion.
But Tan Zili, with his blazing eyes and shrewd face, made Xu He feel that no matter what polite words he said, he would make the other party feel that he was hypocritical.
After a moment of silence, Xu He said softly: "Mr. Zili, what is the current situation of the puppet court?" ”
Tan Lun really glanced at Xu He with interest when he heard this, and then said: "The system is complete, from the cabinet ministers to the junior officials, each doing its own thing!" ”
Xu He didn't expect the other party to speak so easily.
"That gentleman is in charge of the military department, what is the affairs under his jurisdiction?"
"It's just a trivial matter like martial arts, maps, and armor!"
Xu He shook his head: "Mr. was sent to Tuqiaohe to contact the Jiang bandits, what happened?" ”
"In order to respond to the Hefei sect going south!"
"What is the pseudo-emperor's surname?"
Before this question, Tan Lun knew that he was talking endlessly, and he vomited very happily, but when he got here, the other party was silent, only laughing but no longer talking.
"What about the ministers?"
“……”
"Guangxi selects the front soldiers, how many people are there now? Before Mr. went to Tuqiao River, could the puppet dynasty receive a report from General Yu Dayou? ”
Tan Lun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, looked at Xu He and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the champion prince knew us very well!" ”
Xu He smiled slightly, and said in his heart, I also saved your Yu Dayou.
However, before deciding how to deal with Tan Lun, of course he would not disclose Yu Dayou's affairs.
Xu He continued to probe and said: "In the puppet court, is there a fellow villager of Mr., a person named Yan Song?" ”
"Yes!"
"What is your current position?"
"Mother is dead and gone!"
Xu He nodded: "What about Zhang Juzheng from Huguang, Xu Jie, from Nanzhi, and Gao Gong from Henan?" ”
Tan Lun's face finally changed color, staring at Xu He, his face full of surprise.
When Xu He saw his face, he already knew the answer.
He pretended to have everything under control, smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Don't talk about them, Mr. Zili, you are from Yihuang County, Jiangxi, I heard that you were still born in Xiucai, how can you ...... What about thieves? ”
Tan Lun didn't seem to want to talk to Xu He about what was a [thief] or not a [thief], but said: "I can't live anymore!" The year before last, the heavy snow in Jiangxi Province closed the door for more than a month, and more than 3,000 people died in Yihuang, and many families died! ”
"Our Tan family still has some wealth in Yihuang, but that winter, my father, two brothers, wife, and youngest son were all frozen and starved alive and died on the couch."
"In the spring of the second year, the family funeral cleaned up the family's foundation, and the creditor came to the door, and the tax collector of the imperial court also came to the door, telling my family to continue this year according to last year's Dingkou, and it can't be easier!"
Xu He frowned and said: "Last year was a triennial plan for officials, if the tax is less, Yihuang County will not be able to pay the difference!" So in the township? ”
Tan Lun looked at Xu He with some surprise and said, "You, a young champion, are not like those nerds who read dead books and dead books, you still know a lot of things!" ”
Halfway through speaking, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Also, the coastal defense battalion was made by your Xu family, right?" I heard you're still working in it? ”
Xiao Er said unhappily: "The coastal defense camp is run by our son-in-law, and all the rules are also set by our son-in-law, but it's not the Xu family, hum!" ”
Xu He stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Er and said with a smile: "The so-called Xiucai doesn't go out, he can know the world, a lot of things, listen to more questions, think more and see more, it's not a big deal!" ”
"Huh!" Tan Lun stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's a pity that most of the officials in your Zhang family's court are officials who don't want to, don't look, don't listen, and don't ask. ”
"They will do anything but eat and drink, be vassals and be elegant!"
Xu He nodded and did not deny it: "There are such people!" ”
Then, he added: "And a lot!" ”
Tan Lun was once again a little surprised by Xu He's honesty.
"You think so, too?"
"Hmm!" Xu He nodded, "Otherwise, even if you want to make trouble, no one will follow you, so many people will rebel with you, and the court and the government will have a problem after all!" ”
Tan Lun praised: "No one is born a rebellious embryo!" ”
"But I think you're using the wrong method! At least you shouldn't rebel with Luojiao as a cloak! Xu He said with a smile.
When Tan Lun heard this, the whole person was stunned, this Xu He was too bold, listening to the meaning of his words, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with rebelling, but the way of rebellion was wrong.
What's going on?
Xu He smiled: "What is Luojiao? It is a trick to deceive the believers and to gather people and money. ”
"Don't say anything else, let's just say that the Wenxiangtang used some small favors to buy the believers, but in fact, he raped the wives and daughters of the believers, and demanded the silver grain in the believers' homes."
"What's even more miserable is the Cao Gong on both sides of the Cao River, who are already extremely poor, and can only drink Fu water when they are sick."
"For this reason, how many of these people's family members died because of the delay in the doctor's diagnosis and treatment?"
"I don't debate these words with others, I just ask Mr. Zili, you were born and temporarily won the hearts of the people by deception, you say, is this called the true hearts of the people?"
Tan Lun shook his head: "No, our purpose is good, we are here to smash the court of Great Wei, and wait for the future ......"
Before he finished his words, Xu He smiled: "In the future, the prince will be the prime minister, and he will succeed?" ”
Tan Lun couldn't argue with Xu He, and he was also a little angry in his heart, so he turned his head to look aside and said, "Then what should I do?" Do you still let the heavy snow close the door and no one can save the tragedy one after another in my Chinese land? ”
"This is still Jiangnan, if you cross the river, Jiangbei will be even more miserable!"
Xu He nodded, this era has entered the Xiaoice River period.
According to the records of the Ming Dynasty in another time and space, during the Zhengde period, it snowed heavily in Guangxi for a month.
What is this concept?
Modern people, all kinds of heating equipment are complete, if the temperature in the Jiangnan area is below zero, it is a great event.
Guangxi, goose feather heavy snow for another month!
Horse-drawn carriages can be driven on Taihu Lake, Poyang Lake, and Dongting Lake.
Moreover, such bad weather will continue until the end of the Qing Dynasty!
Qianlong, such a person who is so happy, why is the living room only ten square meters?
It's too cold, keep warm!
Tan Lun's words reminded Xu He at once.
In the future, extreme weather will be even more rampant, so if you don't think about how to deal with it now.
In that future, natural disasters alone will be able to overwhelm the entire empire.
Natural disasters - production reduction - civil unrest - suppression - natural disasters - inability to provide disaster relief - aggravation of civil unrest - extinction of social grass!
The sling that strangled the neck of the Ming Dynasty in history is now also tied to the neck of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Moreover, no one in the court noticed it.
