The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 217 The Root of Chaos
Pirates are rampant in Changzhou, and Qian Jiangping is not the only ship merchant who has helped pirates transport goods.Most of the other ship merchants that Yu Laoba confessed to paid the fines and used the money to clear the relationship, asking the Yamen to give them a lighter punishment.Only after the Qian family "went bankrupt" and paid the fine, Sangu Lin ran around asking for help for Qian Jiangping on the surface, but did not give out a penny to dredge Qian Jiangping.

Qian Jiangping was finally sentenced to eight years in prison, the heaviest sentence among all ship dealers.Of course, this is also because he not only transported goods, but also got involved in the case of robbing the Lin family's merchant ship.

In just one month, the Gu family was in disarray, and the Qian family even sold their ancestral home. After Changzhou people lamented the impermanence of life, they continued to watch the Lin family's unloading with great interest, and watched the Changzhou boat master vigorously outside Changzhou Port. Fleet escort.Smart street vendors carry all kinds of food and sell them around the port and wharf, and the business is booming.

"East Shen's family."

Standing on the shore, the fifth fisherman in short clothes carrying a fishing basket, saw Shen Ge and Lin Ruyu getting off the boat, followed a few steps, and gave a low cry.

Turning around and seeing that it was Yu Lao Wu, Shen Ge smiled and said, "Old Wu Uncle should call me Hei Zi."

"Heizi" was the pseudonym Shen Ge used when he fished Lao Wu's fishing boat in the name of Xiao Chang's old cousin.

Yu Laowu was not polite to him either, "Heizi, where's Xiaochang?"

Shen Ge said truthfully, "I gave some silver taels to Xiaochang's mother and son, and they moved."

After Xiaochang's father was killed by pirates, the mother and son depended on each other.Xiaochang went to the fishing boat of the fifth fisherman, and Xiaochang's mother washed clothes for others. The mother and son struggled to survive.So when Shen Ge approached Xiao Chang and explained his intentions, Xiao Chang readily brought him to Yu Lao Wu.

When Yu Laowu heard that Xiaochang's mother and son had moved, he didn't ask any more questions, but said, "I have received the reward this time, has Mr. Shen's family saved enough money to marry a wife? The little old man helped the two of you get married early. "

Although Shen Ge didn't want the two boxes of gold and silver from the pirates' lair on Changgan Island, he led his men to capture the pirates Yu Laoba and his gang who were offered a reward by the court, and received nearly 2000 taels of silver as a reward.Lin Ruyu captured more than a dozen of Yu Laoba's subordinates on Luotan Island, and also received more than 400 taels of silver.

Shen Ge showed his white teeth and smiled brightly, "I have saved enough, thank you, Uncle Fifth."

Lin Ruyu also said, "Thank you, Old Fifth Uncle."

Yu Lao Ba and Yu Lao Jiu are both relatives of Yu Lao Wu.Yu Laowu reminded Shen Ge not to go on the pirate ship. After Lin Ruyu landed on Luotan Island, he reminded her not to go to the island, and then reminded her that it will rain heavily, which is very rare.

Yu Laowu still had an old wrinkled face, nodded slightly, and left with his burden.

Shen Ge whispered to Lin Ruyu, "Changzhou Yamen's fishing tax is too heavy, and the fishermen's life is not easy. Most of the fishermen on the thirteen islands outside Changzhou have engaged in pirate activities, and the fifth fisherman did it when he was young. Among them In my eyes, those who only rob goods and do not kill people are considered good people, and those who rob goods and kill people are considered bad people. The court built three sets, but this cannot root out the root of the chaos.”

The Great Xia court was chaotic, and officials from one place controlled one side.If you catch up with good officials, the people will have enough food and clothing; if you catch up with corrupt officials who extort money, bandits and robbers will be rampant, and the people will have no means of living.The imperial court also wanted to rectify the administration of officials, so it established three platforms, Yushitai, Silitai and Yezhetai, to monitor officials.After getting into the carriage, Lin Ruyu asked Shen Ge, "What do you think is the root of the chaos?"

Shen Ge said bluntly, "The system of selecting officials. If the court does not change this system, there will be big trouble sooner or later."

During Lin Ruyu's 17 years as an orphan, she learned about 5000 years of Chinese history.The Great Xia where she is now is not part of the 5000-year history of China, but after comparison, Lin Ruyu found that Great Xia is comparable to the Sui Dynasty in Chinese history.However, the emperor who founded the Great Xia Dynasty did not propose a reform of the official selection system, and the system for selecting officials in the Great Xia Dynasty is still the system of investigation and recruitment.

The backwardness of the official selection system led to officials forming cliques for private interests, and the people at the bottom of the Great Xia Dynasty had no hope of promotion, and chaos abounded.If this chaos is not eradicated, and without King An's rebellion, the Great Xia, which has unified the north and south for more than [-] years, will soon fall apart.

At this moment, when the young and childish Shen Ge uttered the "system of selecting officials" seriously, Lin Ruyu seemed to see a light, and also seemed to hear a bell. This feeling is indescribable, but she just thinks it is a signal .Several years later, when Lin Ruyu thought of this moment again, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

At this moment, Lin Ruyu stared at Shen Ge, and asked seriously, "Mr. Dongzhu told you this?"

"I saw it myself, and I haven't had time to ask my teacher for advice." Shen Ge was a little embarrassed by his sweetheart, and turned his starry eyes to look at the endless flow of people outside the car window. I have avenged my troubles, I want to ask my husband for advice, and then write to the court, hoping to be seen by the emperor."

"I don't want to get rich by being an official. I know how much I have. I just..." Shen Ge found someone chasing the carriage on the side of the road, staring at Ruyu, and moved his position to block it. Their gaze continued, "People in the world are in charge of the affairs of the world. I hope the world is peaceful and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. It's just that I feel emotional when I see Old Fifth Uncle, so I'll tell you casually."

Applying to worship officials is also a kind of official selection system clearly stipulated by the Great Xia Dynasty. Those who can successfully submit letters are also well-known and well-known people.

Even if Shen Ge wasn't Shen Yanyi, Lin Ruyu felt that he was worth enough, "You can read and write, you are brave and resourceful, and you are the direct disciple of Mr. Dongzhu, the number one hermit in the six prefectures in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and you are enough."

Shen Ge's heart trembled suddenly, and he looked back at his sweetheart.

Without him asking, Lin Ruyu knew what he was thinking, "I'm telling the truth, life is only a few decades, just do whatever you want, don't leave any regrets."

Shen Ge's starry eyes were bright, he responded, and said seriously, "Life is not just a few decades, we will surely live a long life. We will be together for 85 years"

Lin Ruyu reminded, "You are seventeen this year."

"You are 15 years old." The youth's feelings are pure and fierce.My sweetheart is fifteen years old this year, and there are still 85 years before he turns [-]. You live, I live; if you go to the underworld, I will go with you. ?”

After living three lifetimes, Lin Ruyu's wish is extremely simple, "Live a good life with your relatives and with you. As for what to do specifically, I want to study medicine."

Hearing the words of his sweetheart, Shen Ge was emotionally moved, secretly covered it with his sleeves, and held her hand tightly, and the warmth and warmth flowed silently between the two.

But sometimes, it is not easy to live well.

　Dear book friends, after recovering from illness, I have been rushing to work, and I am very tired.After finishing the report yesterday morning, I simply took half a day off and went back to my hometown to visit the grave, so I couldn't catch up with the update last night and this morning.
