Chapter 865: The People Take Food as Heaven

It was a man with a long beard and a short robe who spoke, and his expression was a little arrogant. Although Qiu Ming had never seen this person, judging from Chen Zhen who was following him, it must be Liu Bei's newly appointed Cao Jianyong Jianxian.

Chen Zhen couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he saw Qiu Ming, and subconsciously wanted to salute Qiu Ming, Jian Yong grabbed him and said: "The world is so big, you can't escape a single word of reason, and if you are unreasonable, you are rude." Fang Cai County's words are sarcastic, is it dissatisfied with Xuande Gong, or is he dissatisfied with the sage's teachings? ”

Qiu Ming laughed: "I and Liu Xuande are begging for the yellow scarf together, and we were born and died together, which can be described as a lifelong friendship, how can I be dissatisfied with him?" Could it be that Xuande will be dissatisfied with me? As for the teachings of the saints, Qiu Ming is only a shallow learner, and he doesn't remember which saint said such things, so please let Jian Shicao know. ”

Jian Yong looked at Qiu Ming with a smile: "What the sage said, it seems that you just said it yourself, why did you ask me?" "Qiu Ming can't say that what he just said is the opposite, just to provoke other people's rebellion, how can he know what saint and what person, and he can't talk nonsense in front of so many people, so he doesn't know how to refute it for a while.

Seeing that Qiu Ming was speechless, Jian Yong shook his head and said: "The big businessmen accumulate double interest, and the small ones sit in the column to sell, and they win by manipulating their odds. Therefore, the men do not cultivate, the women do not weave, the clothes must be beautiful, and the food must be meat; Without the suffering of farmers, there is a lot of gain. Because of its wealth, the princes of transportation, the power of the officials, and the benefits of each other; Thousands of miles of travel, the crown and cover each other, take the strong strategy, and drag the silk. So the merchant annexed the peasants, and the peasants so the exiles. Nowadays, the law is cheap businessmen, and businessmen have become rich; Respect the farmer, the farmer is poor. Therefore, what is precious is what is noble, and what is cheap by the Lord; The officials are humble, and the law is respected. On the contrary, likes and dislikes are perverse, and if you want the country to be rich and the law is established, you can't get it. ”

Was it said to me? Didn't you say it to me? Recognize the wrong person!

Although Qiu Ming was also forced to read a lot of ancient books by Cai Wenji, where had he heard such a paragraph, and he didn't understand what he meant, and then looked at the other people around him, one by one, they seemed to have swallowed half a duck egg, and the expression on his face was written "What he said is so reasonable, I am speechless."

When he was a little embarrassed, someone shouted: "On Gui Su Shu? Do you know how Chao Cuo died? ”

Qiu Ming was a little familiar when he heard this voice, turned his head to look, and saw Cheng Yu squeezing his eyebrows and grimacing at him, Tian Feng beside him twisted his eyebrows and forced Jian Yong to ask: "Zhou Shu said, if you don't come out, you will lack food, if you can't work, you will lack work, if you can't do business, you will have three treasures, and if you can't do it, you will have little wealth." These four, the people's food and clothing, go hand in hand, it is difficult to distinguish who comes first and who comes last, you are a city Cao, why do you have to focus on agriculture and light business? Do you have to learn from that mistake and be cut in half in the city? ”

Qiu Ming still has some impressions of Chao Cuo, it is said that he is a loyal minister who was unjustly killed, I don't know what this talk is, since it was quoted by Jian Yong, it can be seen that it is not a good thing. However, since there is the gimmick of Zhou Shu, Qiu Ming is not as disappointing as Fang Cai, not to mention that there are two helpers with more than ninety intelligence, and Jian Yong, who has a maximum of eighty at most, is not it easy to capture? What does it mean that the business does not produce the Three Treasures? Could it be that Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures? That's, isn't it?

Jian Yong didn't seem to have much psychological preparation for Tian Feng's horizontal stab, and Sima Qian's biography of the goods and colonies was much more famous than Chao Cuo's Treatise on Gui Su Shu, and the Zhou Shu cited was written by ancient sages, which was more convincing than Chao Cuo's words, which made Jian Yong somewhat flustered.

Chen Zhen saw Jian Yong panicking, and he also panicked. He was originally from Qiuming, but he was abducted by Liu Bei's rhetoric and heavy promises, and if Liu Bei lost power, he would probably not be able to stay in Dengzhou. In a hurry, Chen Zhen couldn't help but say loudly: "The people take food as their ....... ”

Jian Yong was reminded, and immediately came to his senses, and said loudly: "As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, food as the source, and farming is people-oriented. ”

Qiu Ming said: "This is strange, when I was walking in the countryside, I saw that the Yicang full of villages and valleys was full of Dengdeng, why would there be people in Dengzhou who couldn't eat?" Someone in the crowd responded: "In the past few years, I often couldn't eat, but in the past two years, the blessing of Tuoxian Cheng, life is getting better and better, even if you don't farm the land, you have spare money to buy food, except for some lazy people who really can't support the wall, I haven't heard of anyone who will be hungry." ”

Jian Yong sneered: "I know that the grain in Dengzhou is bought back from Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, but this is only a symptom but not a cure, if these two states encounter natural disasters and there is no harvest of grain, what will the people use to satisfy their hunger?" ”

Qiu Ming said with a smile: "Now that the four seas are leveling, the roads are smooth, and there is a disaster here, let's just go elsewhere to buy it, as long as we have money in our hands, are we afraid that we won't be able to buy things?" Beyond the East China Sea, there is a country of Wa, the fields are fertile, and the grain is abundant, so at most we can go farther and buy it. ”

Jian Yulei, the envoy of the Japanese state, had lived in Dengzhou for several months, and he was extremely generous, and many people here knew about him. Jian Yong saw that the crowd nodded in agreement, and sneered again: "The road to the four seas is smooth? After a few years, the world will be in chaos, but I am afraid that you will not even be able to get out, and then there will be no gold and silver sea, but you will be trapped in the ...... of the city. ”

"Shut up", Cheng Yu shouted violently: "Today, the Zhuzheng Ying Dynasty and the new monarch will be established, how can it not be the peace of the four seas?" As an official of the imperial court, but you are talking about the chaos in the world, aren't you afraid of being punished for blasphemy? ”

Jian Yong was speechless for a while, and after a while, he snorted coldly: "I just kindly reminded you, if you don't appreciate it, forget it, if there is anything wrong in the future, don't blame me for not talking about it." After speaking, he took Chen Zhen out of the crowd.

The crowd erupted in cheers, since Liu Bei came to Dengzhou, he almost completely denied the original set of Qiuming, and seeing that the business was about to be done, everyone was worried, not knowing what would happen tomorrow. Now that Qiuxian Cheng seems to have the upper hand, maybe everyone can stay in the city and do some small business, without going back to face the loess with their backs to the sky and do some hard work in the ground.

Qiu Ming smiled and waved to everyone, and secretly said to Cheng Yutian Feng: "What Jian Yong just said also makes some sense, if the world is really in chaos, we have no way to buy grain, I'm afraid it will be difficult to feed so many people in Dengzhou." Do you guys have any good ideas? ”
