When the emperor arrived at Yun's house, the sun had just risen, and the dew on the tips of the grass had not disappeared. It finally fell and dispersed into the earth amidst the rumble of horse hooves.
The emperor's trip was shaken by the earth. Yun Ye, who was waiting on the roadside to welcome Li Erfa's carriage, was stunned in surprise. This was too much. It was just a meal of truffles at home. Why should he start the journey?
There are eighty-one chariots in the entourage. Fortunately, there are no such things as chariots in the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, a thousand chariots can fill the Yunjia Zhuangzi, including guide covers, washbasins, whisks, and saliva.
There is no shortage of pots, horses, chairs, stoves, incense sticks, water bottles, ceremonial knives, and leopard tail spears. Umbrella covers of various sizes and styles, longevity fans, various banners and flags, various styles of banners, and gold
The festival, the cloak, the ax, the star, the lying melon, the standing melon, my staff, the guiding staff, and the red lantern were all missing. Until five elephants in costumes appeared in front of him, Yun Ye had the idea of fainting.
.
Lao Pei blinked at Yun Ye while riding on his horse, and he appeared, which meant that the whole army of Xiaoqi Guards was dispatched. This was the real Ten Thousand Cavalry. This kind of pomp would only be dispatched when the emperor held a memorial ceremony in the countryside.
According to the rules, the people accompanying the emperor in the carriage should be the Attendant and Secretary Cheng, but judging from the Luanfeng flag, Xu Jingzong and the others must have been pushed to the back. Why does the guy driving the emperor look so familiar? Put on the helmet.
After he got down, he couldn't see clearly. It wasn't until the guy lifted up his visor that Yun Ye was surprised to find that the groom was actually Liu Hongji. It was really rare for an old guy to flatter him to this extent.
The emperor came here to bully people and invited the couple over for a meal. He brought more than 10,000 people with him. In the blink of an eye, the cavalry guards turned Yunjiazhuangzi into a military fortress, and Lao Pei kept giving orders.
The sergeant reinforced the outermost defense line, not knowing who he planned to defend.
The peasants in Zhuangzi were frightened. Except for two old men who volunteered to let the emperor vent his anger, the rest were as mournful as if their parents were dead.
Li Er's carriage came to a stop at the gate of Yun's house. Yun Ye followed the carriage for a while and was covered in dust. He didn't have time to wash up when he saw the emperor and Changsun getting off the carriage and sitting on the shaft.
Liu Hongji, who was on board, flicked his whip, and the six-horse carriage went to the open space opened by the Xiaoqiwei.
Before Yun Ye spoke to Li Er, Li Er and his wife had already smiled and started chatting with the old lady. Only then did Yun Ye remember that it was the old lady who was treating the guests, not him.
She obviously knew everything about the Yun family, but she still pretended to be here for the first time, and the old lady had to lead the way. Not only the Yun family, but also Li Gang, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others were waiting at the gate to greet Li Er.
Although they were all wearing civilian clothes, they still saluted the emperor very respectfully.
The emperor sat at the Yun family for a while, and then he proposed that he and the queen go to the villager's house to sit. Because the entire Zhuangzi was full of people from the Xiaoqi Guard and the Qianniu Guard, the emperor and the queen walked in the village one after another, like
Just like ordinary couples.
The old farmer was obviously frightened to death by the emperor, but he still wanted to lie on the wall of someone's courtyard and greet them loudly. It was spring, so he asked people what they thought of the harvest after autumn.
"I don't have any opinion. Just listen to the officials. Whatever the officials say, do it!"
Hearing this answer from the old farmer, Yun Ye immediately laughed. The people from Yunjiazhuangzi were still smart. This answer couldn't be more wonderful. They say that learning is in the countryside, and you can't be deceived if you are honest.
Li Er wrinkled his nose and seemed a little embarrassed. He just wanted to show his authority. While respecting the wishes of the people, he also let them know the majesty of the royal family. This was a vindictive idea. Unexpectedly, the majesty was a bit too great, and the peasants were all
Scared like a quail, the whole event becomes uninteresting.
Looking back, he saw Yun Ye who was snickering. He finally found a place to vent his anger and snorted: "Do you think I am making a fuss over this trip?"
"No, His Majesty is a holy king. He took out the royal chariot from the countryside and went to Yunjiazhuangzi. The ministers were surprised and surprised."
"I'm afraid I'm more surprised than happy, right? It has been recorded in the law that when an emperor travels thirty miles away from the capital, he must tell the world that he has nothing to rely on. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Of course there is no problem. The road from Yunjiazhuangzi to the capital has been straightened several times. Now it is almost a straight line. The distance is only thirty-five miles. The emperor insists on being serious. Yun Ye has no way. Although the emperor has been there before
When traveling to the Yun family or to Yushan, he always traveled lightly and simply. This time, if it had to be grand, he had no choice but to leave it to him.
The emperor is almost fifty years old, but his temper has become more and more violent. The palace is now full of violence. The reason why I say this is because the emperor has been killing people with a stick recently.
Being beaten to death with a wooden board was also an extremely painful way to die. As long as you saw that most of the dead were eunuchs in charge of purchasing, you knew that the emperor was giving a gag order.
Under normal circumstances, the people were full of curiosity about the mysterious palace and always wanted to know about the life of the royal family, so these purchasing eunuchs became the only source of information. Since the emperor did this, it meant that he wanted to continue to maintain a sense of mystery.
.
Yun Ye took the emperor and his wife to visit the cow that almost had a miscarriage, and also tasted the dried fruits of Lao Cao's family. As for the butcher's pork, it had been bought by the Yun family, so the emperor did not go to see the other people's pork.
It didn’t take long to wander around the Yunjia Village. Some old farmers dared to talk to the emperor. As for the eldest grandson, he was already surrounded by a group of old and young women and aunts. He didn’t know where he went. Compared with the majestic Emperor, the approachable Queen Mother
In Yunjiazhuangzi, he is always the most popular person.
"It seems that the queen is more popular with the people than me!" Li Er turned around and didn't see the queen, so he started joking with the villagers.
"A man's family still needs some dignity, otherwise he will not be able to control his family. The old man's sons are afraid of the old man, but they are all the same as their mother."
Li Er smiled and nodded, very satisfied with this sentence.
As soon as the chatter box opened, the peasants saw that the emperor was easy to talk to, so they slowly started to talk to him one by one. There were not many times when they were so polite.
"So the imperial court's corvee setting is unreasonable?"
"Your Majesty, it is not unreasonable to say that the country also needs to build roads and build cities. These tasks always require people to do it. Although my Marquis and others have captured many foreigners, how can we leave the task of building cities to them?
They did it. Our city still needs to be built by our own people. The officials have explained this truth, but the old man just thinks that some people can go and some people are not suitable to go.
If you plant the land given by the court, you will have to pay taxes and perform labor services. The problem is that we, the people in Yunjiazhuang, will lose money by doing labor services."
"Losing money? How can you say this!" Li Er almost choked at these words. Is it possible to say that you can lose money while doing hard labor?
The old man smiled naively and said: "Yes, it's a loss. Look, if the old man used his time to go to the city to sell dried fruits, he could earn five silver coins in a month. But, the old man would take one
Silver coins can be used to hire a strong laborer. If this strong laborer is allowed to work instead of the old man, he will not only do more work than the old man, but also do better than the old man. In this way, the old man can still earn a net of four silver coins. This will not only benefit the official
The family is good, and the old man is good too. Your Majesty, do you think the old man can hire a strong laborer to work next year?"
Li Er's eyes almost bulged out, and he couldn't answer this question. At first glance, Old Man Cao's words seemed fine. It was indeed a good thing that had the best of both worlds. However, when the country first formulated the labor service system, it did not expect that there would be another problem.
As long as this problem is fully developed, the court's tax system needs to be redefined. How can this be accomplished overnight?
"Your Majesty, the old man's son is a soldier in the government. He also went to the battlefield several times with the Marquis and won some military merits. Now he stays at home and becomes a lazy man. He doesn't do any work. He relies on his plans to achieve military merits.
Lying down to eat, he was preoccupied with waiting for His Majesty to summon him to the battlefield again. The old man asked my Marquis, the imperial court's policy in recent years is to rest and recuperate, and no longer use weapons. What do you think he can do if he continues like this? Speaking of which,
He is a soldier of the government, and the soldiers are among the farmers. If the court does not fight, they will be farmers, but he does not want to farm, he just wants to be a soldier. Are you going to recruit him into the army again?"
Li Er opened his mouth. This is another issue related to the national military service system. It cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. The result of the treatment that he thinks is perfect will be completely out of shape in the end. With his own
It is too biased to replace the thoughts of everyone in the world with one person's ideas.
The same rice feeds hundreds of people, and everyone has different ideas. I thought that the common people could only raise issues such as cows, dried fruits, and pork. Now I realize that this is not the case at all. All the policies you make will eventually fall into place.
When it comes to their heads, they are the final interpreters of these policies.
"Water can carry a boat or capsize it, and the nature of water is the most changeable. Boating also needs to adapt to changes in facts. Sometimes it takes advantage of force, sometimes it goes with the flow, and sometimes it goes against the current. Those who are not familiar with the nature of water will surely capsize!"
After returning to the Yun family, Li Er and the ministers sat in the hall of the Yun family and explained to the ministers what he had seen in the Yun family village. The questions of the two old men made him, the supreme king in the world, speechless.
There are still so many people in the world, and there are still many problems with savings. How many undercurrents are lurking under the seemingly smooth water?"
After hearing this, Li Gang laughed and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to belittle yourself. The Zhenguan Dynasty has been a prosperous age rarely seen in the past. Our country now has no external troubles and no hidden worries at home. This is your Majesty's achievement. Your Majesty will always remain in the hearts of the people, and you can naturally create a generation of saints."
, the so-called difficulty in adjusting is the problem you are encountering now.
A policy, from its introduction to its implementation, needs to take care of the interests of the majority of people, not the interests of a small group of people. His Majesty was confused by the appearance of Yunjiazhuangzi.
That old man Cao himself said that he can earn five silver coins a month. Does Your Majesty think that all the dried fruit sellers in the world can earn five silver coins a month? If he can afford to hire a strong laborer, can others do the same?
Can you afford it? Labor service is a way for people to show their loyalty to the country. It is not a matter of silver coins. I believe that corvee service can only be expanded, not reduced. As for the lazy government soldier, it is just an example.
That's it, it's not operable.
Your Majesty has never read the story of two children telling the sun, right?" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
