The arrow ridge is lush and green, and there are stone pillars carved into the shape of the Huns between the mountain roads, and the little Huns who are lively and lively raise their hands and hold lanterns. Every time the sky is about to darken, there are traveling warriors in the palace of King Zhao passing by the mountain road, filling up whale oil and lighting the lanterns along the way.

This place can't be dark, after all, there is a general's tomb and a captain's tomb on the top of the hill at your feet, which is still very scary for ordinary people, especially the maids in King Zhao's palace, but Yanbei is an exception...... King Zhao likes to insert arrows and can look out in all directions, so he specially ordered people to build pavilions on the ridge.

It's just that this is a bitter messenger who came to Zhao Yuan to inform the military situation, political affairs, and secret orders, every time they come here to find King Zhao, they must first climb more than 400 stone steps and walk through more than three miles of mountain roads before they can board the Sword Pavilion.

Naturally, it also hurt Zhen Yao.

"Well, the scenery is not bad, right?"

Looking at his brother-in-law who turned into a dead dog, Yan Bei teased like this, leaning on the pavilion fence and said: "You haven't had a hard life, why did you go all the way from Zhongshan to Youzhou back then, why was your body so useless." ”

"His Royal Highness King Zhao is the king of Rong Ma and the eldest brother, and the younger brother is just a school supervisor who eats and waits for death under his wings." Seeing that there was no one left and right, Zhen Yao spoke more openly, leaned against the railing and gasped for a long time, before laughing self-deprecatingly: "Where can I compare my brother-in-law." ”

Yan Beiguan'er looked at Zhen Yao and laughed twice, and then said with a straight face: "I brought you here to ask you about your business...... The supervisor of Jixiao Temple is not an official position of waiting for death, let me ask you, how much does Jixiao Temple know about the situation in various states, counties, counties and townships? ”

"Let me think about it." Seeing Yanbei Zhengse, Zhen Yao didn't dare to be casual anymore, and sat on the side and arched his hand: "Jizhou, Youzhou, Lizhou, Bingzhou, Sizhou, all the people in power have temple Zhonglang around them, and a registered temple Zhonglang is assisted by less than three people, and more than a dozen non-registered temple Zhonglang, such as the concubine and accompanying warriors of Bingzhou Mu Ma Teng; the pharmacist of Lizhou's other driving series; The groom of the lieutenant of the division was frustrated...... They are all from the Jixiao Temple, and their house fire or poisoning death is just a matter of the king's words. Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, and Hanzhong County, these state and county governors also have temples around them, but in general, they are a little less, their daily life, are recorded by a special person, but if you want to kill your life, you have to plan a little. ”

"As for the meticulous county, there are also special personnel, in addition to the temple Zhonglang who specializes in the county governor, there are also pawn dealers in various counties, and there are many unclear relationships with the Jixiao Temple. But if the king says that the countryside is ...... The imperial power is not lower than the county, the king. Gold and silver can make the groom betray the chief he serves, and the slave can betray the master he serves, but it cannot make the child betray Yaye, and the daughter betrays Aong. What's more, the younger brother dares to use the person who betrays the main family for the country, but the person who betrays the clan for money, even the brother-in-law probably won't dare to use it, right? ”

When Yan Bei heard this, he was not obviously angry, but even felt deeply powerless. In the past, it was the scholars who held the authority, and under the scholars were the counties controlled by the Hao clan, and under the Hao clan were the clan autonomous townships. The clan hopes to become a wealthy clan and move closer to the wealthy clan; The Hao clan hopes to become a scholar and move closer to the scholar; The scholars wanted to manage the court themselves and move closer to the court.

Everything is in order.

Now there are still scholars in the north, but the scholars can't control the court, although the Yan family controls the court, they only hold military merits and nobles, as for Haoqiang? They were full of confusion after being seized by the Yan clan, and they had neither the ability to resist the Yan clan nor the channel to become scholars, most of them closed their doors to save their lives in the chaotic times, and the remaining enterprising ones joined the Yan clan.

In the township, it's still like that.

The nobles of military merit hold knives, but swords can only make people die, but they cannot make people submit. Submission, the word has never been used for cowards, but not for men. Han wind hunting, under the red flag fluttering, the ground is full of men who die without remorse. Forcing them with knives, the final result can only be that the common people sing the tune of hair like leeks and chickens, and collide with Zhao Guo with the ambition of cutting and resurrecting and resonating.

He has seen the craziest scene, the day before yesterday he was still in the field with a hoe and a simple man to do the farming, in the blink of an eye into the battlefield holding a wooden pole and rushing to the spearhead shirtless, although he died without regrets.

The people like to follow the crowd, but they can't help but bewitch, but there is never a shortage of people in the world who are willing to bewitch the people. Those who have experienced war want nothing more than stability, but those who enjoy stability want chaos in order to gain more from it...... It's always a mess.

"Tian Ce, what I want to ask is Tian Ce." Yan Bei shook his head, looked at the Zhao Yuan soldiers and horses under the lush mountain, lined up, sighed, and said: "Today, Tian Feng in the palace is here, and he told me about repairing the mausoleum, and he wants to levy conscription." He believed that it was a good thing to be conscripted, and that the young people who had no land to cultivate and were idle in the counties and counties could be sent to build mausoleums, so as to prevent them from becoming a disaster. I heard from his words that there are still people in Zhao who have no land, and there are many ...... How many years has Tian Ce been doing it! ”

Tian Ce, Tian Ce was made by Xun Yue when he was in Youzhou, when he had just entered Youzhou, and he had not even sent troops south to Jizhou. Now that ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, he has always thought that the people under his rule are better than other places, better than when the Han Dynasty was peaceful in the past. Actually? Yan Bei waved his hand at Zhao Yuan's military formation and said, "We are standing on a high place in the wind and cold, and we can only see the rigorous formation, but we don't know if the sergeants next to the chariot are chatting with each other. San Lang, let me ask you, the people in the two states of Youji, who have no land to cultivate, how? ”

Zhen Yao spread his hands and said, "A lot." The soldier who returned home after fighting for his brother-in-law Arida, and their family Arita Arida; In the past, the big clans had land, the officials had land, and the people who had migrated to the government could get land...... These are all true, and no one has blinded you. But those tenants who had no land, servants of the great clans, who had no land, still had no land. There are even some people who have left their homes due to the war, leaving their fields uncultivated, and in the end they can only sell their children or daughters, or they will starve to death...... This is also true. ”

Yan Bei's eyes widened and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, you listen to me. There is such a story in a secretary that Julu sent to Yedu last year, under the pavilion called Huang Yang or Huang Ming, there is a family that has taken refuge here from Yanzhou in the past, and the county government has allocated them 175 acres of land, because they have two strong men, a man, and a woman, and they are in line with the law, right? But what happened next? The two strong men and the male in this family are father and son for three generations, and the elder was sick and had no money to treat, so he died, and the county took back 50 acres of land. The remaining 125 acres, the son went to war in military service, died on the battlefield, the government took back 50 acres of land, and gave 3,700 yuan in pension. Leaving orphans and widows, guarding seventy-five acres of cheap land, the mother became ill from hard work, and the son became a temple man...... Does my brother-in-law know what's wrong with this story? Whether the field was 175 acres or 125 acres or 75 acres, they were able to cultivate only 17 acres. ”
