The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 596
After the crowd quieted down, another young man walked out.

This person also looked to be in his early 20s, wearing a green robe, with a hint of arrogance between his brows.

Seeing this person stand up, Wang Yun behind couldn't help stroking his beard, with a three-point smile in his eyes.

Because this person is his Wang Yun's nephew, Wang Ling, whose name is Yanyun, and he is also the most satisfying young talent among the next generation of the Wang family in Qi County.

I saw Wang Ling bowed his hands to Wang Yun and Sima Fang first, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, I have read poetry and books, but I am serving the herdsmen of Daitian, assisting the imperial court, and stabilizing the common people. Therefore, in the Xuzhou Inner Palace , there must be a place for me to wait!
Can you still remember what Lin Zichu said at the gate of the city a few days ago? "

Sima Lang smiled and replied: "What brother said, but what Lin Zichu said was to appease the people of the three states?"

"That's right." Wang Ling sneered, "The battle of the three states was in full swing. Although Yuan Benchu ​​was defeated and died, Xuzhou was at the end of his battle. How could he have money and food to appease the people of the three states? Besides, Lin Zichu will increase The members of the inner government announced it to the public together with appeasing the people, and its meaning is self-evident."

Jia Kui, who had spoken before, stood up and said with a smile: "Brother, do you think that Lin Zichu wants me to wait for money and food to appease the people of the three states?"

Wang Ling nodded and said: "What this brother said is very true. I think that helping the people of the three prefectures this week is a stepping stone to enter the Inner Palace."

Speaking of this, everyone in the courtyard laughed.

It's not that they are happy, but that this operation makes them seem to have known each other, with a strong sense of déjà vu.

In the past, when Emperor Ling was in power, he sold his officials to be nobles, and the officials who took office had to go to Xiyuan to pay money before they could take office.

Lin Chao's move today has the same effect.

It's just that the money that Emperor Ling got was put into his own pocket, while the money that Lin Chao got was distributed to the common people.

But in the eyes of the aristocratic families here, there is no difference between the two. Anyway, they both want to cut their own flesh. Does it make any difference to whom?

As the vested interests of the great Han world, what the aristocratic family thinks is actually reasonable within their perspective.

It's not that everyone in the aristocratic family is a bad person, it's just that people are complicated, and how can we distinguish between good and evil?
What they want to do is to protect their vested interests while continuing to climb until they reach the top.

Their vested interests are divided into two parts, one is real land wealth, and the other is the fame that benefits the village.

The former satisfies their material base. If there is a troubled year, they can use the money in their hands to buy a large amount of land at a low price and take it as their own.What's more, when the land is collected, the people who lost the land can be resettled and continue to be squeezed.

This is equivalent to the fact that the people can temporarily overcome the difficulties when they get money, and they can continue to plant their own land. It seems that it is indeed the best of both worlds, and the dilemma is self-solving.

But the land under his feet no longer belonged to him, and the food he got had to be handed over to these aristocratic families in addition to being handed over to the court.

This wave is purely a middleman earning the difference.

The most annoying part of this set of operations is not limited to this. They received two taxes, but they did not hand over the part that belonged to the imperial court.

The reason is that those people who have lost their fields but can continue to work are not essentially the people of the big man, but the private slaves of the aristocratic family.

Occupying a large amount of land without paying the tax, even the land rent is reduced because of the high position of the aristocratic family. This cycle repeats, and the wealth in their hands will naturally grow like a snowball.

Frankly speaking, such an approach is certainly not an outrage.

At least the people who depend on it still have a way to survive. Although life is a bit difficult, thanks to the huge relationship network of the aristocratic family, they are often not implicated in military disasters and man-made disasters.

But the imperial court above felt as uncomfortable as a dog in the sun.

Originally, the imperial court was responsible for heavy tasks, and all expenditures had to flow out of the national treasury.

Today, there is still so much land and so many people, but the income keeps decreasing.

The imperial court has no money, so it is naturally unable to undertake a series of things such as frontier defense, the operation of the state capital, and disaster relief.

Over time, the country's weakness is inevitable.

However, those aristocratic families who have embezzled the money and food belonging to the imperial court have a more prosperous life. Anyway, they don't need to bear these burdens for the imperial court.

The reason why they dare to be so unscrupulous is because of the second reason, they are famous.

The great Han has developed for hundreds of years, and these rising families have already had generations of hairpin tassels, so naturally they will not be alone.When aristocratic families from all over the world rank among the centers, the extremely practical skill of marriage comes into play.

For example, Cai Zhenji is only Yang Yu's continuation wife, and Yang Yu's original wife was Kong Rong's daughter.

Another example is Yang Xiu, who was born of the marriage between the Yuan family in Runan and the Hongnong Yang family.

These aristocratic families are connected together through this method, and they watch and help each other. In addition, they need money and people, and in this era when the imperial power does not go to the countryside, even the supreme emperor has nothing to do with them.

Even if he was as strong as Lin Chao, he would only dare to play with them within the rules this time, and wait for them to make mistakes before cleaning up, instead of slashing at them and directly destroying them physically.

In short, if these people are not removed, the world will still be the same, and the country will still be a stagnant pool with no vitality at all.

Moreover, in the values ​​of the family, they have never regarded the people at the bottom as their own kind.

In their eyes, only those well-dressed and well-read poetry and books are regarded as fellow-minded.As for the mud legs below, they are nothing but foolish men and women who submit to their rule.

The so-called Daitian Herdsman has the word Mu in the middle.

It is self-evident what this word means.

So no matter how capable and famous these aristocratic family members are, as long as their buttocks are crooked, Lin Chao will eradicate them without hesitation.

Sima Fang, who had been sitting by Wang Yun's left hand, but said nothing, smiled at this moment: "Lin Zichu just wants money and food to help the people, so just give it to him. But the price is still open to discussion, and we can't be controlled by others." .”

Sima Fang's meaning is very simple, we can buy officials with money, but we have to have the right to choose on our own, and even take the initiative.

Jia Kui cupped his hands and said: "What Sima Gong said is very true, but the younger generation Guan Lin Zichu has always acted in a way that is not easy to deal with."

In their cognition, Xun Yu was considered half of his own, and the main resistance to taking control of Xuzhou was all on Lin Chao.

After all, Lin Chao's style has always been to suppress the nobles and promote the poor.

However, Wang Ling sneered and said: "No matter how strong Lin Zichu is, he is only one person's ear. He is alone and alone, and it is difficult to become a climate. In the end, this world will be dominated by my family. If this person is really stubborn, then you can't blame me Wait until you are ruthless!"

As he said that, Wang Ling made a gesture of wiping his neck, which made everyone frown.

Sima Lang shook his head and said, "Brother, do you want to secretly get rid of Lin Zichu?"

"Don't say it's in secret, even if you kill this person openly, why not!" Wang Ling sneered, "For the sake of Lin Zichu, Liu Xuande can turn against us!"

Unexpectedly, all of them nodded slightly.

It was indeed inappropriate to assassinate Lin Chao, but Wang Ling's words made them extremely agree.

In their hearts, the proportion of people like themselves is indeed much more important than Lin Chao.

Looking at the arrogant nephew who scolded Fang Qiu, Wang Yun's eyes were full of smiles, as if seeing himself when he was young, he was equally defiant of power and upright.

"Boda, go check out Xun Wenruo's tone tomorrow and see what kind of regulations this matter is." Wang Yun said, "I don't have high requirements. We should at least rank second among the five ministers of the inner government. Sincerely As Sima Gong said, one cannot be controlled by others."

Hearing this, Sima Lang hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, this junior understands."

Wang Yun nodded, stood up with a smile and made a gesture of invitation to Sima Fang, and then the two joined hands, marking the end of the meeting.

Seeing this, Sima Lang began to see off the guests.

Everyone was also very knowledgeable and left the stage one after another.

As an undercover agent, Yang Jin didn't say a word during the meeting, just watched quietly, and at the same time recorded everyone's views and thoughts in his mind, and even walked in the end when he exited.

But just now when he left the gate of the mansion, Chen Qun in front of him took the initiative to greet him, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I have heard about Patriarch Yang's name for a long time, I don't know if the Patriarch is free, I have already prepared thin wine at home, and I would like to ask the Patriarch to show his face !"

Faced with Chen Qun's intentional friendship, Yang Qin was puzzled, but at the same time wary.

Has someone's identity been exposed?
No, it shouldn't be.

"Brother Chen's invitation is so kind, how dare I refuse it!"

Hearing this, Chen Qun smiled and waved, "Please!"

"Please!"

……

Outside Tan County.

When Tai Shici was a teacher in Guangling, he planned to take Cai Yong with him, but Cai Yong refused. He insisted on waiting for Xu Shao to go with him.Tai Shici had no choice but to report the news to Lin Chao, and then he and Xu Sheng returned to Tan County with Zhang Chao and Zang Hong's class teacher.

However, two days after Tai Shici set off, Xu Shao ran up to Cai Yong and told him that he was ready and ready to leave at any time.

Now Cai Yong was depressed.

If I had known you were so fast, I would have asked Tai Shici to wait for the class teacher for another two days.

Taking a free ride with Tai Shici's army, personal safety can be guaranteed along the way.

But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to regret it, Cai Yong then set off for Tan County with Xu Shao.

Of course, Cai Yong was a little puzzled by Xu Shao's reluctance to go to Xuzhou to comment before, but now he was impatient, so he asked a question.

Xu Shao's answer was that he had already made sufficient preparations.

First, after he had a hand-to-hand conversation with Cai Yong last time, he sent letters to recruit friends from all over the world, as well as famous critics in the Qing Dynasty, inviting them to go to Xuzhou to complete this Yuedan review with him.

Second, he stated in the letter that although he was going to Tan County, he would immediately close the door to thank guests after arriving, and would not accept anyone's visit, let alone accept Liu Bei's clothes and half of his grain.

In this way, others will not accuse him of unfair evaluation, and while maintaining his own reputation, he can also guarantee the fairness of the evaluation results.

After hearing Xu Shao's answer, Lian Caiyong couldn't help giving a thumbs up, praising him for his thoughtfulness.

The two traveled lightly along the way, and their speed was naturally very fast. When they arrived outside Tanxian County, they left Tai Shici behind who had set off two days earlier.

When they were about to enter the city, they found a team of about 2000 people had just left the city and were walking on the official road.

Just as Cai Yong and his party were about to give way, they found a big "Lu" written on the banner of the advancing army.

"Lu Zigan!"

Cai Yong said with a face full of surprise, and then went up to meet him.

After walking in, he found that Lu Zhi was riding a tall horse and walking at the head of the team.The people following him were Huang Zhong and Zhu Ling.

Lu Zhi's trip was to Yanzhou to serve as governor.

As for Huang Zhong and Zhu Ling, they were generals assigned to Lu Zhi by Lin Chao.

It's not that he doesn't trust Lu Zhi, it's just that although Yanzhou is now in the bag, after the war, it is inevitable that there will be some bandits wandering around everywhere, and it is impossible for Lu Zhi to personally come forward for everything.

So Huang Zhong and Zhu Ling were let out, and at the same time they were able to brush up their qualifications and records. When they return in three to five years, it shouldn't be a problem to be a mixed general.

Lu Zhi saw Cai Yong at this time, and immediately showed a smile on his face, so he asked Huang Zhong to order the troops to rest on the spot, and rode up by himself.

"Cai Bojie, I've been in Tan County for a long time, but I haven't seen you, old guy, so I went out for fun." Lu Zhi joked with a smile.

Cai Yong glared at Lu Zhi angrily, but he didn't bother to refute.

"Zigan, judging by your posture, you should be going to Yanzhou to take up the post this time, right?"

Lu Zhi got off his horse, nodded and said, "That's right, the position of Inspector of Yanzhou has been vacant for a long time, now that the war is over, it's time for someone to take up the post."

Cai Yong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The Inspector of Yanzhou is good. Zigan has once again been promoted to a high position. It is really gratifying."

"Brother Bo Jie, if you are interested, how about going with a certain person who will grant you a special post?"

Hearing this, Cai Yong's face immediately changed, and he said with disdain: "A certain has no intention of official career!"

"Since I have no intention of official career, why don't I choose another place to live my life, but instead come to Tan County to fight for fame and fortune."

Lu Zhi sneered back, exposing Cai Yong's lie with just one sentence.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi, who has always been unparalleled in eloquence, miscalculated this time.

I saw Cai Yong stroking his beard, with a self-confident smile on his face: "It's a coincidence that a certain person wanted to spend his whole life under Lin Quan, but Lin Zichu insisted on inviting him here to serve as a priest in the academy. At any rate, he is Zheng Kangcheng's student, so it was inconvenient for me to refuse, so I reluctantly accepted. Although the official position is not high, but I am teaching and educating people, practicing the way of enlightenment, and it is not in vain for me to read sage books for many years..."

Cai Yong was still chattering and showing off, but Lu Zhi's expression suddenly changed, and he turned his head and left.

Lu Zhi naturally knew the scale of the Tanxian Academy.

For a moment, a huge sourness welled up in my heart, no matter how I looked at Cai Yong's face, I found it disgusting!
Cai Bozhe, you are so ostentatious, you are not a son of man!
"Where is the son going?"

Seeing that Lu Zhi ignored him, Cai Yong hurriedly said.

"I don't want to break up with you, a shallow person!"

Hmph, if it wasn't for a certain age and temper, you, a shameless person, would have been hacked to death a long time ago!
