With Zhao Duan's narration, Zhao Ming seriously suspected that his father was using the record of the Peach Blossom Spring to deceive him.

A large city with a capacity of nearly three million people, you must know that Bianjing has only about a million people.

How could there be a giant city in the world that could accommodate three million people?

The people have food in every house, but there is not a trace of food, and there is not even a beggar on the street, which is even more impossible!

Even in Bianjing City, it is inevitable that there are people who do not have enough to eat, and beggars are everywhere.

How can a city of three million people have no people to eat, no people with vegetables, and no wandering beggars?

It's impossible!

There is also a shortage of people in the major workshops, so that they have to buy slaves to work, but the government has a rule that the employees of a workshop must have a ratio of seven or three to slaves, and without enough people, so many slaves cannot be used.

This also leads to the fact that as long as the people of Yunzhou County are willing to work, they will not lack food and clothing.

It's just impossible!

Even if it is in Bianjing, there are a lot of people who don't work, if it is according to what the father said, then this Yunzhou County is not the place recorded in the Peach Blossom Spring?

Regarding Zhao Duan's description of praising Yunzhou County, he didn't want to believe a word, but looking at his father's sworn appearance and extremely serious appearance, he had some doubts in his heart.

Is it hard or really not?

If this is true, then the sixth still really has the means!

But before seeing it with his own eyes, Zhao Ming would still have doubts about all this, but he wouldn't say it, since his father said so, then he would listen to it.

But when he heard Zhao Duan say that those old monsters in the rivers and lakes went to ambush him, Zhao Ming couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Father, are you okay?" ”

Zhao Duan shook his head and said: "You don't know that the sixth kid is silent, I didn't expect that he actually practiced martial arts, and even the strongest of those old monsters, Li Bubai, was not his opponent."

The others were not his opponents in the face of Cao Daban, and they were all blocked, and in the end, it was the second emperor uncle who arrived in time and set the tide of the battle.

Far from hurting me, this ambush eradicated these henchmen in one fell swoop.

All these years, I have been trapped in this imperial city all day long, and I dare not go out, isn't it because I am afraid of being ambushed by these old monsters?

Now that they are dead, this can be regarded as a release of a bondage, but it is indeed a good thing. ”

Zhao Duan didn't know why, he concealed the matter about the firearms in Yunzhou County from Zhao Ming, and only used a misleading word to vaguely resign, Zhao Ming naturally had no doubts.

He first complained:

"Father, this time the sixth brother has a good martial arts, and you have Cao Da by your side, so you escaped a catastrophe.

But if you don't have these conditions next time, it is very dangerous for you to do so.

If you get hurt, what will Da Song do? ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ming turned his head and bowed to Cao Shuang sincerely: "Cao Daban is grateful to you for saving your father's life by your father's side this time, and this palace is grateful as a son of man!" ”

Cao Shuang dared to accept this salute, and hurriedly let go to the side and bent down and bowed: "What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say, it is the duty of a slave and maid to protect His Majesty as His Majesty's close attendant, and it is not His Highness's way to do this, His Highness is torturing the slave and maid!" ”

Although he said so, Zhao Ming, as the crown prince, was able to treat himself like this, which also made Cao Shuang feel very comfortable in his heart, and his good impression of the prince suddenly became even worse.

"Cao Daban is too humble, you deserve the gift of this palace, since Cao Daban is unwilling to accept this gift from this palace, then if Cao Daban has anything that this palace can help in the future, please Cao Daban just speak, this palace will definitely do its best!"

Zhao Ming gave a promise.

Cao Shuang still didn't dare to say anything.

Zhao Duan drank tea and quietly watched the two of them come out, his face was calm, and he didn't say anything.

After humbling each other, Zhao Ming re-opened the topic and led back to the attack of the warriors and asked, "Father, have you dealt with the sects of these warriors who came to attack?" Can't spare them, these warriors have been helping to abuse them all these years, oppressing the people together with those family lords in the local area, and disrupting the order, but it is a harm to the locality.

This time they even dared to attack their father, if they didn't give them an unforgettable lesson, my Great Song would be so obedient! ”

"Is it just a lesson?" Zhao Duan suddenly asked rhetorically.

Zhao Ming was stunned for a moment, Zhao Duan glanced at him, and then continued: "This time, those old monsters that can threaten me are all dead, and I don't have to put up with them anymore. After I returned to Beijing, the king of Zhenxi had already brought 95,000 Tianwu forbidden troops, plus the 5,000 men and horses that had been sent to Haifu County before, a total of 100,000 people, and had already begun to sweep their mountain gates one by one. ”

Zhao Ming was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "But my father's martial artists are hiding in the deep mountains and dense forests, but it is not so easy to exterminate, in case they are desperate because of this matter, and they start to make a big fuss in various places, won't there be a big chaos in the country?" ”

Zhao Duan shook his head, slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said:

"No, for this day, I and Second Emperor Uncle have been preparing for a full twenty years, and we have already known the location of their mountain gate or something.

It's just that those old monsters are still in the Second Emperor Uncle and he is not sure that he can catch them, so he has endured them until now.

Now those old monsters are dead, and the remaining small fish and shrimp are in the hands of the second emperor uncle, but they are just fish meat on the chopping board, and they can be destroyed with a flip of the palm.

This time, no matter whether they go to heaven or into the ground, even if they are Jedi three-foot ladders to arrest people, I must completely eliminate them! ”

Seeing Zhao Duan's gritted teeth, Liang Chang didn't say anything more, he also understood that his father had been trapped in Bianjing because of these warriors over the years, and what these warriors had done in the local area had made his father's patience reach the limit.

After thinking about it, he said: "In that case, why doesn't my father wipe out those families together?"

100,000 horses, plus led by the king of Zhenxi, those families must have no power to resist, right? ”

Zhao Duan glanced at him and sighed leisurely.

When Zhao Ming didn't know why, Zhao Duan asked, "And then?" ”

"What?"

Zhao Ming didn't understand what Zhao Duan meant.

Zhao Duan then asked:

"After the end of these families, what about the power vacuum that arises in the local area? And the reason why these families can be called families is because they have been entrenched in the local area for many years, and their tentacles have already penetrated into all aspects of the place, and if they are uprooted all at once, the place will inevitably be affected.

The imperial court simply does not have the manpower and material resources to quell these influences, nor does it have so many officials to fill the power vacuum that has been removed from them.

But if the imperial court does not do this, and allows these places to develop at will, then a new family may reappear again at any time with the help of this period of power vacuum, so how is everything different from before?

It's not that the court can't end the family, but the court must be fully prepared before it can do this.

After these families were terminated, the imperial court should be able to collect power back into the hands of the imperial court in a timely manner, and be able to quickly calm down the negative impact caused by the elimination of the family, so as not to have too much impact on the local government.

And now the imperial court is not prepared for this at all, and after rashly sweeping away the families in various places, the final result will be that the local area will become extremely chaotic, even inferior to the previous time when the family was there.

So if you want to do anything, you have to think about the aftermath of it. Instead of talking about it, you want to be out of it, you must pay attention to this point, and you can't do it again! ”

Zhao Ming understood, and bowed his head in shame:

"Erchen owes it to consideration."

"You don't owe consideration, you owe a lesson, as the so-called eating a trench grows wise, you haven't suffered a loss in this regard, so you don't know how powerful this aspect is."

Speaking of this, Zhao Duan's thoughts seemed to have returned to the past, and a look of memory appeared on his face.
