"Drink!"

"What about Brother Liang? Where to go? ”

"I don't know."

"Someone!"

Huang Gu had already drunk it, got up and pointed at the gentry with his index finger, and said proudly: "Changzhi County was arrested by Bao Zheng and broke a leg...... Some people say that if a certain person has a close relationship with him, he will definitely be unlucky, this is jealousy! They are jealous of so-and-so! ”

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed, and the two gentry muttered to each other: "Huang Gu has been in a panic for the past two days, and he is afraid to die, and today I heard that Bao Zheng's entourage officials were drinking in the restaurant to celebrate, so I dared to go out......"

"People are shameless, Pepsi can be done. He is just shameless, and only then did he earn a huge fortune. However, Chang Mi is finished, and he will not have a good time in the future. ”

The gentry cared most about the relationship with the officials, and only by having a good relationship with the officials could they be like a fish in water in the countryside.

Huang Gu was probably nervous for two days, and he was too depressed, so he had the opportunity to make waves at this moment, and he was out of control.

"Where's the maid?" His face turned red and he shouted, "Come three...... No, come to five ......."

"Can you carry it on your waist?"

A questioning voice came outside, Huang Gu was furious, and shouted: "I also chartered a green building back then and carnivaled all night......

It's that men can't tolerate this statement, so Huang Gu is really angry.

"It's a night of sleeping."

This voice was annoying, and Huang Gu scolded: "Which maggot crawled out of the manure pit ......"

Boom!

The door was kicked open from the outside, and dust was everywhere.

The candlelight was scorching, Huang Guji pointed at the man outside the door, and scolded: "Come on, kill him!" ”

He has been hiding at home for the past two days, always worried that he will be broken in by Bao Zheng, but today he is completely relaxed.

"Brother Huang......"

Several gentry felt that something was wrong, and some of them got up and arched their hands, "dare to ask......"

"A certain Shen An!"

Shen An's smile was very amiable, his eyes wandered, and he said with a smile: "There are five people, okay, it saves a lot of trouble, and there are people." ”

"Lang Jun!"

Huang Chun came in from outside the door, and his hands were on standby.

Shen An pointed at Huang Gu and the others, "Take them all." ”

"Shen An?"

Huang Gu subconsciously shouted: "Bao Zheng is here......"

Bao Zheng wanted to come, but Shen An directly refused on the grounds that he needed to recuperate.

An old man in his sixties still wants to learn from young guys to play night raids, is it interesting?

Shen An couldn't help but feel a little weak when he remembered that he had stunned Bao Zheng and then took the opportunity to run away.

Will you be killed if you go back?

"A certain is not guilty, and wherever he goes, he is not guilty!"

The Great Song Dynasty treated the civil and cultural officials with great kindness, which gave them no fear.

Huang Gu shouted: "What's wrong with a certain loan? Who doesn't lend money in the Great Song Dynasty today? Who? If you want to get so-and-so, then you should arrest all the lenders, otherwise so-and-so will not accept it, and will not accept it! ”

There are many strange things about the Great Song Dynasty, and the legalization of usury is one of them.

It's not that the DPRK and China didn't want to cut off this harmful thing, but the people are poor, and they can't get through it when they encounter difficulties, and if they can't borrow money, it will be a desperate situation, so the DPRK and China can only turn a blind eye.

This situation continued until Wang Anshi's reform, and he forcefully implemented the Qingmiao Law, only to be distorted by local officials when it was implemented......

But in the final analysis, the so-called Seedlings Law is actually a government loan, but the interest rate is lower.

In Shen An's view, the Qingmiao Law is actually the government's exploitation of the people.

Why do people need to borrow money every time they are in a state of scarcity?

Because under the high taxes, their annual harvest is not enough to support a year's chewing, that is, they work hard for a year, but they can't support themselves and their families, so they have to borrow.

In this case, in Shen An's opinion, it is necessary to improve the income of the people, such as increasing the harvest, and he made the golden fat pill. For example, tax reduction...... This is something that needs to be constantly played.

The Great Song Dynasty raised a bunch of officials and troops, as well as all kinds of inexplicable expenses, so that taxes remained high, and once taxes were cut, it would bring about a chain reaction.

The officials cannot afford to pay for their money, the army cannot afford to support them, and they cannot afford to give them rewards...... Chicken feathers all over the place.

However, this tax must be changed!

There was more excitement in Shen An's eyes, he liked this state, it was like an adrenaline rush before the battle.

"A certain loan is not guilty! In the clear! ”

Huang Gu and others were dragged out, and the sound of shouting injustice attracted the people in the village to come out to see the excitement.

"Isn't this Mr. Huang?"

"yes!"

"How did they get caught?"

"That's Mr. Liang."

Huang Gu and Liang Ying successfully met, and when he saw that Liang Ying had changed into civilian clothes, Huang Gu couldn't help but be furious and said, "You actually got the news and ran away by yourself?" Bah! Someone cut ties with you! ”

Liang Ying lowered his head and didn't speak, Huang Gu thought of the friendship between the two for many years, and felt that it was not enough, so he asked, "Why don't you speak?" Is there something unspeakable? Say it and don't be afraid. We are not guilty of lending, what are you afraid of? ”

The gentry were full of alcohol and laughed: "Exactly, I am not guilty of lending, I am afraid that he will be a bird." ”

Liang Ying slowly raised his head......

Hiss......

It was a face that could not be seen in human form, and its mouth was high and swollen, similar to a pig's mouth; The whole face was swollen, as if it had been blown out, and it was colorful, and I didn't think it was a human face, probably a monster.

"Ah......h

Someone was screaming, as if a girl had met a man with evil intentions.

"Liang ...... Brother Liang? ”

Huang Gu felt that this person was probably not Liang Ying.

The pig-mouthed man opened his mouth with difficulty, his mouth was full of blood foam, and he couldn't see a single tooth. He said something with difficulty, but he was silent.

Someone guessed from the shape of his mouth, "He said we are all pigs......"

"Brother Liang, don't worry, we will naturally seek justice for you."

In these years, once the gentry want to pull relations, it is really omnipresent, so they are not afraid at all.

Liang Ying lowered his head, feeling sad for this group of stupid pigs in his heart.

Shen Andu came, this guy was ruthless, and many officials in the court broke their legs by him...... That's a Jingguan, and the Wei clan is just a county......

Let's wait for bad luck.

That night, the Bishan army attacked in all directions.

The gate of Weishi County was wide open, and some people questioned it, and Shen An directly slapped his face with his will, and then the whole city fell silent.

The hooves of the war horses beat against the stone slabs, making a crisp echo.

In the front hall, Bao Zheng, who was sober, was playing chess with Shen An.

"The old man is not optimistic about the rule of officials." Bao Zheng played a hand of chess and was a little frustrated.

"The old man inspected all the way and found that there were good officials among them, but there were few. Most of them are passable. And Wei ...... To tell the truth, the old man was holding back his anger and had a seizure in Wei's family, otherwise he would not be ruthless. ”

Coupled with tonight's action, the officials of the entire Weishi County were almost empty, and the officials from the capital quickly took over, but there were still some problems with the run-in.

"It would be nice to get more people."

Shen An played a game of chess and felt that Bao Zheng was too pessimistic, "You must know that as long as the above attaches importance to it and the means are effective, the corruption of officials is not uncontrollable." ”

"But who cares?" Bao Zheng rarely revealed his heart, and sneered: "The royal family advertises to rule the world with scholars, how do they attach importance to it?" That's a slap in the face. ”

The old Zhao family came to power by rebellion back then, so they were a little weak-hearted, and they were afraid that others would follow suit, so they discussed with the scholars, and everyone wore a pair of pants and became brothers from then on.

So Bao Zheng is very pessimistic.

Shen An smiled: "You know, they didn't pay attention to it before, it was because they didn't have confidence, but now? ”

Bao Zheng was stunned, "Confidence...... Before...... The first emperor had no confidence, so he cleaned up Zaifu every few years, otherwise he was worried that he would lose his rights. Today's official family is better, but the confidence is still insufficient...... Those people are hugely powerful, and it was they who joined forces during the Qingli period to suppress Fan Wenzheng and the first emperor and their new policies. ”

It was a bloody lesson, which divided the future ministers of the state into two factions, one faction headed by Wang Anshi, who made a fuss of innovation; One faction, dominated by Sima Guang and others, constantly found fault with the new deal, and then wanted to pull Wang Anshi off the horse......

"That's a lack of preparation." Shen An saw that he was depressed, so he persuaded: "If you are in a hurry, there will naturally be no good results." ”

Fan Wenzheng's haste was forced out by Zhao Zhen, who summoned them with great ambition and sent them pen and paper to let them write down the shortcomings of the Great Song Dynasty.

How to change these shortcomings, the monarch and the minister decided to start a new deal almost without much deliberation, and the result was on the street.

Bao Zheng's face gradually turned cold, "What preparation?" ”

The old man's right hand was palmed, and it seemed that he was going to give Shen An a look.

Shen An glanced at his right hand vigilantly, and said, "For example, if we want to solve the problem of the people not having enough to eat, can we get a golden fat pill before the innovation......

Bao Zheng was stunned, "Yes, if people have Jin Feidan today, even if they pay taxes every year, they will be able to fill their stomachs." This drought around the capital, why is there no rebellion? It's because there is more food in the house...... If it were in previous years, the people would have nowhere to go......"

Shen An smiled dryly: "Bao Gong, there is another reason, the Xiang army does not recruit disaster victims now, so it is useless for them to rebel, and they will only be exiled." ”

"The old man is uncomfortable if you don't talk back?" Bao Zheng exhaled with a slap, Shen An bowed his head smartly, and then raised his hand and said, "There is another reason." ”

"What is the reason? If it's perfunctory, turn around and die. ”

Shen An smiled bitterly: "The people feel hopeful. ”

"Hope?"

Bao Zheng said puzzled: "What hope." ”

Shen An said: "In the previous Great Song Dynasty, there were Nong Zhigao rebels in the southwest, Jiaozhi was attacking, there were Xixia people in the northwest, and Liao people in the north...... And the Great Song Dynasty and these opponents have many defeats, in the hearts of the people, such a Great Song Dynasty is not safe, where is the hope? ”

Bao Zheng lowered his head, the light shone on his gray hair, and he looked a little older.

"Now that Jiaozhi is defeated and sues for peace, Western Xia has been defeated several times, and the Liao people have also been defeated in Fuzhou, this Great Song Dynasty has seen hope again......"

Bao Zheng raised his head and looked very lively, like a child, "Yes, after winning the battle, the taxes will naturally be less, and the people can feel it." After winning the battle, the people will not worry about becoming slaves of other races, and their hearts will naturally be at peace...... As soon as their hearts are settled, they will look forward to the future......"

In the past, the Great Song Dynasty often lost battles, and after each defeat, a lot of expenses were thrown there to make up. But what can the DPRK do if it has no money? Looting, so the people's lives are becoming more and more miserable, and every time they hear that they have lost a battle, they feel that they have no hope for their lives, and the future is bleak.

How can such people identify with the Great Song Dynasty?

It wasn't until the Great Song Dynasty gradually reversed the situation to the outside world, and the great victories again and again made the people of the world regain confidence in this Great Song Dynasty.

Only when you have confidence can you look forward to the future.

"I look forward to it!"

Bao Zheng helped the desk and was about to get up, but Shen An hurriedly went to help him.

"You've done a lot." Bao Zheng patted the back of his hand, revealing some kindness, "That cotton, let the people of the world not be afraid of the cold from now on, you have a great merit." ”

Shen An helped him out of the front hall.

In the front yard, the arrested gentry and officials all knelt in front of them, and when they saw Bao Zheng and Shen An coming out, they were all shouting grievances.

"Vision." Bao Zheng's eyes were a little more bright, and he said: "If the people want to look forward to a good life, then the officials should have self-knowledge and live a hard life, so ...... These people must be dealt with strictly and quickly, so that the people can rest assured, and the officials of the world will be relieved! ”
