I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 211 The rogue is not scary, just afraid that the rogue has culture!

Xue Qingzhi was very happy when he saw Guo Yi took the wine glass respectfully, stood up with a hearty smile, held the wine glass and signaled to everyone: "Come on! Gentlemen, drink this glass to the brim!"

Everyone stood up immediately, and they all held up their wine glasses with a smile: "Drink wins!"

"Drink wins!"

Although the alcohol content is not high, the taste is not good and it is difficult to swallow.

But Xue Qingzhi couldn't help laughing even more cheerfully when he saw that he drank it all in one gulp, so he held the pot and filled a cup for everyone, and took it up again: "This second cup is for the good weather of our Great Zhou Dynasty, the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people! Congratulations to the Great Zhou! "

"Congratulations to the big week!"

"Congratulations to the big week!"

Everyone was unambiguous, and they all drank it in one gulp.

"Hahaha...!" Xue Qingzhi worked tirelessly, filled the cup again for everyone, and held it up again: "This third cup is for His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Guo Erlang! The severe drought on our Jingbei Road this time is not brewing. It was all thanks to His Highness and Guo Erlang that the catastrophe happened!
I suggest, respect Your Highness and Erlang for a cup! "

As soon as the words were finished, the King of Chu waved his hands and said, "I'm not alone, but rely on Erlang's assistance! I'm here, toast Erlang!"

"A toast to Erlang!"

"A toast to Erlang!"

Everyone also laughed and echoed, then raised their heads and gulped it down.

He was very helpless: "Mr. Qingzhi's words are too serious, what can you do with your virtue! It's all the result of everyone's concerted efforts, and you don't dare to claim credit for it!"

"Hypocrisy!" Pei Xianggong saw through the essence at a glance.

"Humility! Too modest!" Xue Qingzhi smiled and raised his hand and nodded at him: "Young man, you should be frivolous! How can you be as depressed as this old man.

Be frivolous when you should be frivolous, so that you can live up to the young man! "

"Mr. Qingzhi is right! You kid, you have the capital to be frivolous! It's not like the ignorance and arrogance of some young people!" Pei Xianggong also echoed, and even made a mockery of his elder brother.

Pei Ruyu sat silently at the side, looking at the young man who looked like a star above the moon in front of her, feeling a little envious.

A prince, a gentleman, and a great Confucian put him in the middle, and all words were centered on him.

When I was in the capital, I was often treated like this.But the difference is that those who surround him are either stubborn children of the same age, or geisha singers in brothels.

Thinking of him, Pei Ruyu, a son of a minister's family, he has never been treated like this before.

When I was young, I had three rounds of drinking, but no one touched the table full of delicious dishes.

Everyone put down their wine glasses, all staring at the drizzle outside.I have never thought so, Xia Yu is so cute, I can never get tired of watching it.

Xia Yu has been thirsty for a long time, and autumn seedlings are worried.

"This rain came too timely!" Pei Xianggong couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes!"

King Chu also stared blankly at Si Yu outside, with an obsessive smile on his face, as if seeing his first love.

After a pause, he echoed: "It seems that it is the time of autumn planting. When planting rice seedlings, the field needs to be flooded with water. Just relying on water wells and drums is a drop in the bucket.

I was worried at first, fearing that the lack of water would delay the autumn planting.Well now haha! "

As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xue Qingzhi simply got up, sat on the railing of the pavilion, took a jug and poured himself a drink, and said leisurely: "Before I fell asleep last night, the old man was still lying in the yard watching the stars, but who knows that this midnight Suddenly it started to rain..."

But Mr. Pei suddenly sighed, "I don't know if there is rain on Kuizhou Road and Jinghu South Road?"

This is a very heavy topic, and no one answered.Because the news hasn't come yet, they don't know.

But, there is hope.

Seeing the silence of the crowd, Pei Xidao couldn't help turning around and looking around at the crowd, his eyes fixed on the King of Chu: "I heard from Erlang that you sent a group of bandits to rob grain merchants on Kuizhou Road?"

"Yes!"

The King of Chu met his gaze, nodded and admitted without hesitation: "This is my king's idea, and it has nothing to do with Erlang!"

Regardless of whether the idea is good or bad, he has to get Guo Yi out first, so as not to make Guo Yi bear responsibility and bad reputation when things happen in the future.

After speaking, he took out two letters from his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out and handed them over.

He is a man, worthy of Guo Erlang's dedicated assistance.

Pei Xidao sighed secretly, and reached out to take the letter.After taking it apart, with the help of the light behind him, I looked through it carefully.

These two letters were written by Chen Cheng. They briefly described what happened, but the final results were more detailed.

The bandits attacked twice, killing and injuring about 200 people, and looting more than [-] catties of grain.

Only killed two hundred people, but grabbed more than 8 catties of grain, which was worth it no matter how you look at it.

You know, with more than 8 catties of grain, tens of thousands of people can be saved.

This time, Pei Xidao didn't know what to say.If this strategy is denied, tens of thousands of people will starve to death.

And if it is affirmative, where is the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty placed?If you ignore it, will it cause others to follow suit?
Once other people follow suit, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will be completely chaotic.

Gein, this strategy is too simple and rude. If you want to get something, you don't need to spend money to buy it, and you don't need to barter it. You just need to have a hard fist.

In this way, you might as well stop farming and working, and just go grab it.

Seeing his distressed expression, Guo Yi could probably guess what he was thinking, so he smiled wryly and spread his hands: "I know this is the worst strategy, but there is really no other way. You don't have money, but you want to get enough There seems to be no other way to obtain the food except forcibly looting.

Is it possible that you still have to borrow from those grain merchants?Even if they are willing to lend it to you, it must be a usury that cannot be repaid! "

"Alas...!" Pei Xidao couldn't help but sighed, and said earnestly: "I am afraid that you will develop such a habit! You are still young, and you still have a long way to go. If your ideas are not correct, you will easily go down Crooked way!"

Who can do more damage, a stupid villain or a smart villain?
There is no doubt that the smart bad guy.Hooligans are not to be feared, but they are cultured.

Guo Yi understood what he meant, and a smile could not help but meet his gaze and asked, "Do you know why the Xin'an reform failed?"

Xin'an Reform?

Good guy!
Hearing this topic, everyone turned their heads to look at him with expressions of astonishment and curiosity.

"The Xin'an Reform failed because you were too merciful! The Fang Tian Equal Tax Law, to put it bluntly, is to snatch some land from those aristocratic families so that it can be distributed to the poor.

Of course people don't want to, who wants to spit out all the things they eat in their mouths?
Therefore, when it is time to be kind, be merciful, when it is time to kill, kill, and kill those who are unwilling to redistribute land! "
