Qiankun Storyteller

Jinhua Pavilion.

As the leading restaurant in Jinyang Mansion, Jinhua Pavilion's business has always been very hot, with customers coming like a cloud every day, and the crowd is like a bustle.

But after Jinyang changed hands and another day changed, such a scene would never return.

Returning land to the state and increasing business taxes, these two New Deal laws have dealt a heavy blow to commercial agriculture.

The Fucheng, which was originally considered prosperous, is now in a depression. It seems to be worse than the county seat. The major shops are closed, and the small merchants who have not reached the threshold of tax collection are still shouting.

All the big families either fled early or were liquidated. They went to Caishikou once, and all their properties were confiscated.

Although the boss of Jinhua Pavilion is also a big businessman, compared with other big businessmen, he has always been very cautious in dealing with people. In addition, he has a big enough background and strong enough strength to never use or need to use those dirty methods.

Therefore, the Jinhua Pavilion was unexpectedly not liquidated by the new law, but the land deed and the new business tax were handed over.

Although the land deed was handed in, the property of Jinhua Pavilion still belonged to Jinhua Pavilion, but an extra land tax had to be paid every year.

In this way, Jinhua Pavilion has been preserved, and it is one of the few large restaurants and large shops still in operation in the city.

Of course, the boss of Jinhua Pavilion must have run away, leaving only a few shopkeepers here to look after him.

In this way, although Jinhua Pavilion is still open, the business can be imagined.

Not to mention that they have no intention of managing, even if they intend to manage, in the current situation, there will not be any guests.

The new law is strict and leaves no room for it, making everyone feel insecure. Who would want to drink and have fun?
It's not bad if you don't escape.

Therefore, in the huge restaurant, only two people sat opposite each other.

One has white beard and hair, and his literary spirit is like jade. He is exactly the great Confucianist of the time - Fu Yun, also known as Mr. Pang Shan.

The first one, with a high crown and dignified appearance, is no stranger to words and smiles. It is Wei Ming, the great cultivator of Legalism.

The two sat on the third floor, facing the street, not only could they see the street view, but they could also see the government office in the center of Fucheng from a distance.

Looking at the desolate streets, Fu Yun shook his head, sighed and said: "Cruel law and tyranny are worse than tigers!"

This is as if it means something.

Wei Ming was unmoved, and said in a low voice: "There is selfishness in the heart, and the fear of the Fa-rectification is not the harshness of the Fa-rectification, but the evil of the human heart!"

Fu Yun shook his head, arguing with him: "The law is formed for the king and established for the country. If it destroys the foundation of the king and destroys the foundation of the country, how can it be called righteous law?"

"..."

Wei Ming was silent, and after a while, he quietly said: "It's people's hearts!"

Hearing this, Fu Yun smiled: "This person wants to go against people's will, go against people's will, and open up an unprecedented way of heavenly law. Weizi is a great cultivator of Legalism. Would you like to help him?"

Wei Ming shook his head, and said softly: "I follow the law of others, and my way is different, so I don't conspire with each other!"

"Perhaps it's not that the way is different, but that there is no hope..."

Fu Yun chuckled and said, "Wei Zi also thinks that this person will definitely be defeated?"

Wei Ming lowered his eyes, looked at the extremely desolate street, then looked at the mansion, and murmured: "There is no hope!"

"Not quite."

Fu Yun shook his head, and compared several shops still in operation: "Medical clinics, grain shops, cloth houses, the foundation of people's livelihood has never been broken, and there are many officials who uphold the integrity and will not be corrupted. The law may not fail."

"How can a land of one mansion be compared with the world?"

Wei Ming shook his head, and said quietly: "The Song family shrank the state capital, but this person only occupies Jinyang. Obviously, he also knows that he is unable to spread this method all over the world, not even in a state, so he has to live in this small Jinyang mansion. , in order to ensure that no chaos erupts.”

"really!"

Fu Yun nodded, and asked again: "When is Wei Zi going to leave?"

"today!"

Wei Ming didn't hide anything, and asked in the same way: "When is Mr. Pang Shan going to stay?"

"This……"

"Hurry up, I'm going to beheaded again!"

"Again?"

"My God!"

"Which family did you kill?"

"I heard it's the Wang's family in the east of the city, who opened several medicine shops."

"It's really a crime. The Wang family is an indomitable kind person. Master Wang is kind and generous. He often helps the poor and the poor. He also gives away free medicine every month. He has saved countless people."

"That's right, the last big epidemic, if Master Wang hadn't taken out the medicinal materials and made the anti-epidemic soup, we don't know how many people in Jinyang Mansion would have died."

"Why did even the Wang family suffer? Didn't the officials say that they only kill bullies who are rich and unkind and harm the people?"

"You can believe this too. It's just an official article. Now the truth is revealed. They will do anything to kill someone and search their home!"

"Plundering the people is frenzied."

"But how did I hear that the Wang family is the best at hoarding and even selling fake medicines..."

Everyone has no intentions, and there is a lot of discussion.

Sitting on the Longshang, Wei Ming and Fu Yun shook their heads as they had a panoramic view of all this.

"Severe laws and severe punishments, butchers with knives and knives will never serve the selfishness of the people!"

Fu Yun stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Wei Zi..."

"Master!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a young man in white rushing over and handing a letter to Fu Yun.

"Um!?"

After reading the letter, Fu Yun frowned immediately: "This person has actually started a war?"

"Oh?"

Although Wei Ming was not surprised, he also asked, "Where is the movement?"

"Eight directions!"

Fu Yun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers from Jinxia, ​​sent to all directions, including the state capital, are all targets!"

"Um!?"

Wei Ming's eyes narrowed, and he said immediately: "The soldiers are divided into eight groups, and the whale swallows Yunzhou. This person is very confident!"

"Yes!"

Fu Yun nodded and looked into the distance: "I don't know how the Song family will react, and Qianjing..."

"Weizi, should we leave today?"

The conversation changed suddenly, and I asked whether to stay or not.

"..."

Wei Ming was silent for a while, and then said: "It's okay to stay for a few more days."

"what!"

Fu Yun smiled, as if pointing something: "It seems that there is still a fire in Wei Zi's heart!"

"Just wait and see."

Wei Ming didn't argue too much, got up and left.

Fu Yun smiled and watched Wei Ming leave.

The young man was suspicious, and approached: "Master..."

"Human law?"

"Heavenly law?"

"what!"

Fu Yun smiled, and said to himself: "The highest pursuit of the Legalists is that the law is the constitution of heaven. It is only a helpless choice to adhere to the kingly way. If it is possible, which Legalist would not want to achieve the supreme, impartial and selfless law of heaven and righteousness?"

Hearing this, the boy understood: "Then he is going to invest in that person?"

"No!"

Fu Yun shook his head, said with a light smile, "Law is the constitution of heaven. Although it is the supreme pursuit of the Legalists, we cannot ignore reality."

"This road is difficult!"

"This method is impossible!"

"Even a legalist major repair like him feels unrealistic."

The young man frowned, his eyes full of confusion: "Then he just wanted to stay?"

"It's just a fluke!"

Fu Yun chuckled and said, "It will disappear soon."
