"It's been half a month since Master Shu arrived at the middle school secretary, are you familiar with the government?"

To Xue Mi's surprise, Mu Gong openly asked Shu Cheng, which not only made Xue Mi slightly stunned, but also surprised Shu Cheng, Shu Cheng was stunned, looked up at Xue Mi and Mu Gonggong, and then came to his senses, smiled at Mu Gonggong and said: "Xie Gonggong cares, alas, basically familiar, alas, the government is difficult, the emperor has taken over a mess, the displaced people are everywhere, the treasury is empty, and the government is difficult." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The government is in difficulty, and we should work together to tide over the crisis. Father-in-law Mu said, coughed slightly, the little eunuch in the back hurriedly brought the tea over, Father-in-law Mu took it and drank two sips, felt that the breath was slightly smoother, and took another sip before handing it to the little eunuch, looking up at Xue Mi and Shu Cheng and sighing slightly: "Old, old, I can't do a lot of things, and the emperor will rely on you in the future." ”

"What my father-in-law said, my father-in-law is the pillar of my great Jin, and we still have to rely on my father-in-law's guidance. Xue Yu flattered.

"Your words sound comfortable, but no one can escape a new generation replacing the old. Gonggong Mu said with a smile, turned his head to look at Shu Cheng and said, "Master Shu, you have just entered the middle school secretary, and you have asked Lord Xue for advice on government affairs. ”

"Xiaguan understands, to Lord Xue, Xiaguan is very grateful. Shu Cheng hurriedly said, although he is a new scholar in the middle school, he can study for many years, and he has long had the wish to show his ambitions, but he was born in a poor family, there is no promotion level, and he came to the imperial capital to study and try his luck, and after a few years, he finally won Xue Mi's appreciation, and was recommended to the core position of the middle school supervisor, for which he was very grateful to Xue Mi.

Father-in-law Mu looked at him and nodded slightly, and then looked at Xue Mi, Xue Mi looked at Grandpa Mu with a calm expression, Grandpa Mu looked a little tired, his eyes were cloudy, his hair was white, and his old state was full of appearance, but Xue Mi knew very well that this was a tiger, and an aging tiger was still a tiger, and occasionally showing his claws and teeth could tear people to pieces.

"That's good, that's good," Grandpa Mu said, Xue Mi felt a little strange in his heart, what's wrong with Grandpa Mu today?

Xue Mi smiled cautiously: "Father-in-law, don't worry, Lord Pengzhu is about to come back, the land reform of the Chen State is basically completed, the reform of Yangzhou Salt Administration will also be successful, and the imperial treasury will be enriched within three years." ”

Gonggong Mu smiled slightly and sighed softly: "Yes, Chen Guo and Yangzhou have been completed, the emperor's two new policies will be completed, and the court will be quiet for a while." ”

Xue Yu immediately nodded: "What my father-in-law said is that if these two new policies are completed, the imperial court will be able to breathe a sigh of relief, and the matter outside the city will be solved." ”

Shu Cheng raised his voice and said: "The matter outside the plug is actually easy to solve, but the difficult thing is the displaced people, how to resettle the displaced people, this is related to the stability of the society." ”

The corners of Mu Gonggong's eyes condensed slightly, and he didn't speak, Xue Yu shook his head: "The problem of displaced people is difficult, but the resettlement of displaced people requires land, and the court finds so much land, even if the displaced people are sent back to their hometowns, they will need a lot of silver, and this problem of displaced people has to be considered in the long run." ”

"Alas, if Chen Guo's policy can be implemented in the world, the problem of displaced people will naturally be solved. Shu Cheng said.

Xue Mi thought about it and instinctively felt that something was wrong, he shook his head: "Brother Shu, Chen Guo's new policy has caused such a big turmoil, and if it is implemented in the world, it may cause even more turmoil." ”

Shu Cheng thought for a while and sighed softly: "If you can restore the land policy of Taizu, the world will be peaceful." ”

"If it can be restored to the time of Taizu, it is naturally good," Xue Yu said: "But at the time of Taizu, the world was at the beginning of war and chaos, and the population decreased, and now, the world has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and the natural growth of the population has been dozens of times that of Taizu, but the land in the world has not increased, how can Taizu's policy be done?"

Shu Cheng was speechless, Gonggong Mu nodded slightly, and looked at Xue Mi with some surprise, Xue Mi's remarks were greatly unexpected by him, and it was very reasonable, when Taizu, due to the long-term war, the population died a lot, and there was a lot of wasteland, which was enough to be distributed to everyone, but now, only the population is dozens of times that of the Taizu period, taking the imperial capital as an example, when Taizu, the population of the imperial capital was only about 200,000, and now it has exceeded one million, if you add the four townships outside the city, the population is probably more than three million, and all the states in the world are the same.

"During the first emperor's time, Xianbei invaded, and a large number of people fled south in the two states in the north, resulting in a rapid decrease in the population of the two states, but why are the two states of Jizhou and Jizhou the most homeless?" Shu Cheng asked rhetorically.

Gonggong Mu nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with Shu Cheng's opinion, but he didn't expect Xue Yu to seem confident, he smiled faintly: "Youji Erzhou, its north, including Yongzhou, the land is barren, the perennial drought, the yield per mu is not high, and the people are poor, as for Jizhou, after the first emperor defeated Xianbei, a large number of refugees and displaced people were resettled in the three states of Youji and Hebei, so there are many displaced people in these three states. ”

Shu Cheng had nothing to say, Father-in-law Mu nodded again, Xue Yu actually had a reason not to say, due to the large number of refugees fleeing south in Sanzhou, the local gate lord family took the opportunity to occupy a large amount of land, and the refugees were mostly settled in barren places, and the refugees were poor, and if there was a slight disaster, they had to sell their land again and become refugees.

"But... , Lord Xue, is there no solution to the problem of the displaced people?" Shu Cheng asked a little dejectedly, the displaced people have become a disaster, and the government and the opposition have understanding, but how to settle the displaced people, the government and the opposition are arguing endlessly, and the policy of restoring Taizu is one thing, and there is also the release of the shade households, and then there is the reclamation of the border, and the resettlement of the displaced people in the border of the four states of Liang and Yongyou.

But these strategies are fatally flawed!

Xue Mi smiled bitterly: "The problem of displaced people must be solved slowly, you can't be in a hurry, you can always find a way." ”

In fact, this is admitted, and the problem of displaced people is not solved for the time being.

Father-in-law Mu nodded approvingly: "Master Xue is right, everything can't be rushed, it can't be solved this year, you can wait for next year, you can't solve it next year, you can wait for the year after tomorrow, there is always a way, if you are in a hurry, it may cause unnecessary trouble." ”

Xue Mi's heart flashed, nodded understandingly, Shu Cheng sighed, and lowered his head with a heavy heart.

Father-in-law Mu twisted his shoulders, the little eunuch immediately stopped pinching, took a step back, Father-in-law Mu leaned back in the chair and looked at Xue Mi, today Xue Mi's opinion surprised him again, it seems that this person's past smuggling is only on the surface, but he is actually talented, or very talented.

"I heard that Lord Xue owes Du Zhicao a lot of money?" asked Grandpa Mu.

Xue Mi was a little embarrassed, and laughed at Father-in-law Mu twice: "I have already sent a letter to my family, hehe, besides, isn't there still three months, and it will be paid back soon." ”

"Pay it back as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble. Father-in-law Mu said unhurriedly, Xue Mi was shocked, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, father-in-law, is the imperial court..."

"That's not true, you are in the book supervisor, you don't know what the court is doing. Grandpa Mu said with a smile on his face.

Xue Mi's brows furrowed even tighter, his expression was still puzzled, he instinctively felt that there was something in Grandpa Mu's words, Grandpa Mu shook his head slightly, and said gently: "Actually, I'm worried about adults, up to now, only Xiao Zhao Wangye has returned the arrears to Duzhi Cao, and he returned 30,000 yuan that day, with the financial resources of Zhao Wangfu, he has done his best, I heard that recently he is preparing to mortgage the manor outside the city." ”

"Mortgage the manor outside the city?!" Xue Mi was very surprised, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what did Gonggong Mu mean by this.

Grandpa Mu nodded, and Xue Yu muttered, "What is he doing, is this necessary?"

Gonggong Mu shook his head: "Xiao Zhao doesn't think like this, after he mortgaged the manor, he got the silver, and he could return the arrears of Duzhi Cao, and he joined forces with Liu Han, the king of Yanping County and others, and prepared to go to Yangzhou to open a salt number." ”

"Go to Yangzhou to open a salt number!!" Xue Mi was a little puzzled in his heart, not knowing what this Mu Gonggong meant: "This is a good deal," and suddenly a flash of inspiration: "Maybe this can break the dilemma of Yangzhou salt innovation." ”

Father-in-law Mu nodded, but Shu Cheng frowned and asked, "How can the prince be so confused! Wouldn't it make people laugh when they join forces with businessmen and spread the word!"

The ministers of the DPRK and the generals of the border army are taboo in the court to make friends with the clan, but the merchants and the clan join forces to make money, but the court does not mind, not to mention, the vast majority of the families join forces with the merchants.

"Yangzhou salt innovation is in a stalemate," Mu Gonggong sighed slightly: "What is behind it, the emperor knows it, so there is nothing in the move of Xiao Zhao Wangye, and there is even merit, by the way, there are also the kings of Yanping County who participated in this matter, and there is also a chamber of commerce called Baigongfang." ”

Xue Mi was stunned again: "Even the king of Yanping County also participated, this Liu Han is a little bit of a friend enough, so he didn't tell me." ”

"My lord!" Shu Cheng frowned and reminded, as if he suddenly remembered something: "My lord is talking about Liu Han, Liu Han of the three articles of the Emperor Capital?!!!

"It's not him, who else!" Xue Yu smiled: "This guy is for money, but he can do anything, don't be deceived by his three articles, that guy is an out-and-out profiteer." ”

"Profiteer!?" Father-in-law Mu couldn't help laughing: "Where do you say that?"

"This guy looks upright, but in fact he is very cunning and good at scheming," Xue Yu said with a smile: "My father-in-law has never seen him, this guy is loyal, but he actually has a seven-trick exquisite heart." ”

Father-in-law Mu sighed softly, Shu Cheng couldn't help but shake his head, Xue Yu suddenly understood, Father-in-law Mu came over today to tell him that Liu Han and Xiao Zhao Wangye went to Yangzhou to open a salt number, strange, what did he tell himself about this?

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Gonggong Mu to chat a few more words, then got up and left, after Xue Mi sent him away, he sat behind the bookcase and couldn't figure it out, due to lack of concentration, the proposed purpose made several mistakes, but fortunately, Shu Cheng found it after checking and changed it for him.

Xue Mi felt that something was wrong and wanted to talk to Liu Han, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, he hurriedly went to find Liu Han like this, but he fell into shape, he didn't believe that he could hide it from the eyes of the internal guard.

The matter was decided, the speed of the draft was greatly improved, and the more than 20 copies of the book were soon approved.

Although he knew the hiding place of Wang Xutian's three families, Liu Han still didn't move, he quietly went to Qingyuan again to see Jingren, and asked Jingren to teach the way of formation, Jingren was very surprised that he didn't understand the formation at all, found a copy of "Formation Basics" and handed it to him, and then told him to find a room outside, and he could teach him when he had time.

Liu Han then anonymously bought a courtyard outside the street of Qingyuanguan, and Jingren went to this courtyard and quietly deployed a small formation, this formation is not aggressive, but can be soundproofed, so it can keep the secrets in the courtyard.

Although the monitoring of the Tiger Benwei is strict, but the main force of the Tiger Benwei is in the palace, and the monitoring of Qingyuan Guan is much weaker, Jingren wants to come out, it can be said that it is very easy, the last time Liu Han got rid of Shi Ping, he sensed the fluctuation of vitality, and rushed to the scene first, before the black-clothed man in the palace.

But Liu Han's time was too tight to spare more time, and Jingren could only teach one night every five days.

Liu Han soon found out that Jingren's formation level was very high, and he wanted to ask about the formation that isolated the leakage of spiritual energy, but in the end, he still didn't dare to say it, the most important thing was that he was worried that Jingren would rob it, and the cultivation of the head of the sect was too high, and he was really not sure whether Jingren could beat him, it was good to win, but if he lost, then he would be startled.

And Jingren was also very shocked, Liu Han's comprehension was too strong, no matter what he said, Liu Han could understand quickly, he was simply a genius who practiced formations, if he was full of spiritual energy, Liu Han could become a formation mage.

The general outline of the formation was finished in half a night, and the moon was still bright and the stars were sparse at this time.

The two of them sat in the room, the room was a little messy, Liu Han didn't find someone to clean it, this yard was highly confidential, Liu Han didn't let anyone else come, and even cleaned it himself.

There was no light in the room, neither of them had the intention of lighting the lamp, the two sat opposite each other, the moonlight passed through the window, quietly sprinkled in the room, Liu Han looked at Jingren quietly, Jingren was already very old, he looked seventy, but his spirit was good, maybe this was also the effect of cultivating immortals.

"Senior brother, I found a place in the palace where spiritual energy was leaking, and I wanted to go and see it, but that place..."

"I knew that place, and the palace wanted me to live in it too, but I didn't agree. Jingren said lightly.

"Why is this?" Liu Han was a little surprised, Jingren was still so bland: "I was desperate for cultivating immortals, knowing that I couldn't cross that threshold, so I chose to go out of the mountain gate and enter the world, the spiritual vein in the palace is extremely weak, far worse than the sect, if I want to practice, I just stay in the sect, why bother to enter the world." ”

Liu Han nodded slightly, then frowned and asked, "There is a saying in the world that there is a great grandmaster, and the cultivation of this great grandmaster is equivalent to how many layers of body refining?"

"I can't tell you the specifics, but I estimate that it is above the tenth floor, are you on the sixth or seventh floors now?"

"Seventh layer," Liu Han couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't that Qingling a great grandmaster when he enters the world!"

Jingren frowned slightly and sighed softly: "He hasn't crossed that threshold yet!"

Liu Han nodded, and Jingren sighed again: "The way of heaven is difficult, I hope so." ”

Saying that, Jingren stood up, got up and went out, stood in the moonlight, looked up at the moon, Liu Han was about to open his mouth, he felt that he still had a lot of questions to ask, but Jingren's figure disappeared in a flash.

Liu Han walked to the door and looked at the moonlight in the courtyard, the moonlight covered the ground with a layer of silver veil, the huge imperial capital, silent, and the whole city fell asleep.
