The position in which you are is naturally changed your psychology. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

If it was the fourth master a day ago, even if Erfu pulled him to see the ragged beggars in the capital market, he would just sweep it away, at most he was thinking about using this excuse to pull down a few supporters who were working hard behind the old Bayi group and shouting, and now as he has made clear the identity of the heir, looking at the toiling people who will be the people under his rule in the future, actually wearing patched dirty clothes, eating coarse tea and light rice, and even some are still eating wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, not to mention how uncomfortable he is in his heart.

This is the peaceful and prosperous era of those ministers, it is simply ......

The fourth master stood under the tree, looked at the tired farmers on the ridge with deep eyes, looked at Erfu in disbelief, and asked in a deep voice with a slight anger: "These are the tenants on your village, are you squeezing their blood and sweat like this!"

"I squeeze?" Erfu, who was lying down and was also shot, pointed at the tip of her nose and said in surprise, she never dreamed that the fourth master would make such an angry behavior.

Erf thinks that she is definitely the most conscientious magnate.

In this era when most landholders are sharing rents with tenants, she not only paid the part of the money and grain to be handed over to the court and the government, but even only collected the tenants' land rent of one percent of the grain, not to mention that at the foot of the Son of Heaven around the capital, that is, in the fertile soil outside the Guanwai that has not yet been developed, such a land rent is absolutely unique, not to mention Jiangnan and other places in the land of rice and grain.

In addition to this, she also arranged for reliable people to search for the best masters in the fields all over the country, just to make the crops of these tenants produce more food, so that their poor tenants could live a better life...... Not to mention that the locals of this era do not have such a good owner as her, even among the novels she has read in modern times, she can be regarded as the most conscientious one among the crossing women!

Not only that, why did she lead the fourth master to the field for a walk today.

She is not changing the law to brush up her presence in front of the fourth master for these farmers who rely on the sky to eat and dig in the ground, so that the fourth master, the future lord of the world, will not be kept in the dark by those Manchu civil and military who know how to sing praises and praises, and they don't know the suffering of the world...... The more he thought about it, the more angry Erfu became, so he simply shook his hand and ignored the fourth master who was standing under the tree and was angry-eyed King Kong-like.

"Why don't you speak, do you know that you are too exploiting your tenants!" Erfu was so angry that he didn't want to speak, but the fourth master, who was in anger, was unwilling to let Erfu go so easily, after all, he had been patrolling around with the old man Kangxi all these years, except for the refugees in the famine year and those beggars who were reaching out to people on the street, he had never seen such a poor food farmer, nor had he seen a person dressed so shabby.

I have to say that even the old man Kangxi, who thinks he knows the people's sufferings very well, has never seen the lives of the people with his own eyes, and this is not a deliberate deception by the people below, who doesn't know that this old man Kangxi is not a long live lord who likes to sit on the Jinluan Palace and scold Fang Xuan, what he loves most is to lead three or five people to the people for a walk, enjoy the fun of private visits to microservices, and see with his own eyes the peaceful and prosperous era under his rule.

But even so, he has seen the lives of the people that have been properly beautified.

For example, the people he met during his private visit to Weifu were often arranged in advance by the people around him, at most they were not as obvious as those lower-level officials who dealt with the emperor's patrol arrangement, not to mention the villagers' homes where he temporarily ate and lived, otherwise which people's families could eat rice and white noodles, not to mention that the old man Kangxi as the emperor could not see the real people's suffering, it was a prince and nobleman like the fourth master, which was also rare.

The distribution of the inner and outer cities of the capital does not divide the eunuchs and magnates and ordinary merchants and ordinary people too obviously, and even if these princes and sons go to the outer city, they mostly wander in the downtown with many shops, which can get into the small alleys where the poor are piled up and the sewage is overflowing.

As for the fourth master and the others patrolling around with the royal driver, it was even more invisible.

Those ordinary people who can't eat, don't have warm clothes, and have to worry about three meals a day have long been sent to the invisible corners by the officials who cater to the inspection of the peak, and a few complaints have appeared sporadically, which are all blessed by the ancestors for eight generations, otherwise they will not be able to meet these big people.

If it weren't for Bai Jiao, a good girlfriend who has been wandering in the folk for many years, and Erfu said this, even she might not be able to really see the lives of ordinary people, but even if Bai Jiao and Erfu said this, it was far less touching than what she saw with her own eyes.

What kind of era is this, this is an era of starvation everywhere in the event of natural and man-made disasters, it is not entirely the emperor, the inaction of officials, it is really limited technology, those high-yield seeds in modern times are completely non-existent, and the yield of hundreds of catties per mu makes it difficult for the people to really eat enough. Full, not to mention the underdeveloped transportation, from south to north even if it is a fast horse back and forth, it often has to run for a few days, this has to say that there is a pipeline together, if it is in some remote mountains, then communication is more difficult, so once natural disasters and man-made disasters happen, even if there are often closed warehouses in various places, when the real disaster is really relieved, it is often far water can not save the near fire, not to mention that corruption is repeatedly prohibited, the Qing Dynasty has been up and down for hundreds of years, but in addition to a Qing official like Yu Chengchan, really want to let the people live a well-off life, this is definitely a heavy and long way to go。

It's just that these words must not come out of Erf's mouth.

The long-term feudal thinking has made women humble, and women have become the spokespersons of ignorance, and men who are more and more arrogant often can't accept that their women are too capable, even in modern times, men don't want to have a wife who is too capable. alienated her, but it was far from helping the people live better, so she had no choice but to choose this way of moisturizing things silently, so that the future emperor could personally feel the hardships of the people's lives, and let the future emperor create an era more suitable for the people's lives.

Emphasizing agriculture over business cannot be said to mislead the country and the people, but it is definitely not a good policy.

In the eyes of Erfu, an ordinary person who does not understand the major affairs of the country, only a country with balanced development in all aspects, a prosperous market and a prosperous people, a virtuous minister and a capable official who has worked hard for the country and the people, and thousands of soldiers who can fight well and defend the territory and open up the territory can only be a real great country.

The dream is plump, and the reality is skinny.

If the current Qing Dynasty wants to do this, it will take a long time, but in Erfu's opinion, at least the era she came to is very good, and it has not yet reached the sad situation of the decline of the Qing Dynasty's national strength and the humiliation of the Western powers.

Thinking about it like this, she still felt a little excited.

To put it bluntly, she is indeed not an angry young man, but who doesn't want her motherland to be strong and rich!

Since you have the opportunity, let's work a little harder.

Thinking like this, Erfu suppressed the dissatisfaction with the anger of the fourth master in his heart, talked about the bitterness and helplessness of the people's life, and explained the problem of excessive land rent and taxes to the future monarch in more detail.

In the end, seeing is believing, and the fourth master also fell into deep thought.

It's not that he didn't see the admiration of the tenants in Erfu's Zhuangzi, and the reason why he felt that Erfu caused the tenants' life difficulties was just that he couldn't save face and didn't want to admit that it was the pretext that these people in power did not govern the country well.

In the past few years, with the unstable status of the second Yinren, the princes who participated in the government like the fourth master in the court were all ready to fight for power and profit, even if it was himself, he had forgotten his ambition when he first stepped into the court, and he was devoted to studying how to please the old man Kangxi.

I still remember that when he first set foot in the court, at that time he had just returned from patrolling the northwest instead of the old man Kangxi, and his mind was full of the loess, wind and sand he saw all the way, and his heart was full of the hardships and hardships of the people's lives, but as time passed, the memory in his brain became thinner and thinner, and he never went back when he was young, and he also lost his original intention.

Don't forget the original intention, this sentence is easy to say, but it is actually too difficult.

When a person is immersed in the court like a dye vat, and his eyes are all the dark side of the world of those conspiracies and intrigues, then this person will inevitably go the wrong way, but fortunately, when he was not sober, he met Erfu, who maintained a pure heart, and saw the life of the people who had not been beautified, which made him sober up again.

Thinking of this, he pulled Erfu, whose eyes were full of unhappiness, to him, and whispered: "It's the master who misunderstood you, so don't worry about the master!"

"You are the master, how dare the concubine deal with you!" Erfu muttered inconsistently, but her eyes kept paying attention to the farmers not far away, thinking in her heart how to make these people live better, after all, these tenants are her people, she can't control the people of the world, she must protect the people here.

It's just that getting rich is a difficult road, especially to make everyone in the world rich.

Rao is Erfu, a time-traveling woman from modern times, is also at a loss when it comes to this.

After all, before she crossed over, she was still an innocent girl living a carefree life in an ivory tower, and she never considered making money, and the means of getting rich seen in the novel were too idealistic, and it was extremely difficult to really implement, and it was impossible to affect everyone, unless she could transform into an agriculturist who carried a scientific research laboratory with her, and invented high-yield seeds suitable for local climates, otherwise she could only continue to believe that the masters were among the people, and continue to arrange for people to find old crops that were good at taking care of agricultural affairs, so as to make food yield as high as possible。

Call......

The fourth master and Erfu, who were in a bad mood, looked at Xiao Qi, who had already played with the little peasant girl, with a depressed expression, and couldn't help but secretly say in unison: "A child is a child, no matter where you go and what situation you encounter, you can quickly become happy." Then he left all the worries in his heart behind, looked at each other and smiled, and walked side by side to the foot of the mountain like an old husband and wife.

As long as it is not a particularly big drought and flood year, the harvest is always good, even the tenants can live a full and warm life, not to mention her as the owner, the annual income is more than 100 taels of silver, and it is close to the Fengtai camp, and there is no need to worry about the nuisance of thieves and bandits, the only thing that makes her not too satisfied is that there are too many bushes on the mountain, so that she wants to build an orchard here, and has not been able to get what she wants.

But it is precisely because of this that the tunnel that Bai Jiao secretly let people dig was not discovered.

Erfu and the fourth master said that they were walking around, but they didn't go too far, and they didn't go far to the foot of the mountain, so they stopped together, each picked a big bluestone and sat down, looking condescendingly at the bottom of the mountain, Xiao Qi, who was playing with the children in the countryside.

"Speaking of which, I remember that you didn't leave a pair of children from the mother-in-law's family in your courtyard who were afraid of going out of the house by your side before, and gave them as playmates, why haven't you seen them recently!" The fourth master looked not far away, it was rare to have a playmate, Xiao Qi, who was playing happily, remembered the square and round shape that Erfu left in the yard, as if he hadn't seen the two of them for a long time in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but ask strangely.

Erfu rolled her eyes angrily, pursed her lips, and replied: "No wonder you still remember their two children, didn't you arrange for spies to secretly look for their relatives, and then there was no news, and the concubine is really not good to bother you with such a trivial matter, so I asked Zhao Dezhu's kid to tell Bai Jiao about this matter."

Not long ago, when you helped the old Fu of the Luo clan to go out of Beijing, Bai Jiao found some clues, so I asked Bai Jiao to arrange for someone to send the two children over, thinking that maybe when they got to the vicinity of their hometown, they would be able to have some memories!

Who knew that this would be half a year, and I don't know if they found their relatives!"

Speaking of this, Erfu sighed again, how good she planned at the beginning, thinking that these two children were abducted and sold from the south, and their fate was bumpy, and she couldn't bear to let them serve as slaves and maids, so she kept them as playmates for Xiao Qi and Hongxuan and raised them in the yard.

Which Cheng thought so coincidentally found that the father of these two children was actually a down-and-out talent with a lot of opinions, and it could be regarded as a mistake to find a staff member for the fourth master, and she sent the pair of children back to the staff, after all, no matter how much she likes this pair of cute and dexterous children, she can't let the family separate.

Who knows that it didn't take long for the fourth master to find out that the child was not the staff, and the staff was not the staff who bumped into it so coincidentally, but the spy who was carefully arranged by the eighth master, and it didn't take long for the fourth master to use this spy to pit the old eight once, the staff and his wife lost their lives, and the child fell into her hands again.

The fourth master is a person who deals with big things, and naturally he will not do things to find relatives for Fang Fang and Yuanyuan, so she had to entrust this matter to Bai Jiao, without the slightest clue, how can it be so easy to find, so long to know that this child is from Jiangnan, this Bai Jiao arranged for someone to lead the two children away for half a year, and there is no letter, she has encountered a lot of things, but she forgot about it.

Today, as soon as the fourth master mentions it, she thinks about Hongxuan and the two children who passed away even more.
