Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 541 Similar to Guan Zhang Gonglie
[During the two thousand years of the feudal era, land annexation was always so boring.

Exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have always only killed the people but made it difficult to tax the landlords. Bankrupt peasants were annexed by the landlords. Over time, the country became poorer and the landlords became richer. In the end, when the people could no longer squeeze out money, only an empty empire was left. The landlords collapsed under the pressure. After the dynasty changed, the landlords were still landlords, and the poor peasants were still poor peasants. The cycle started over and over again from generation to generation.

Before Song Huizong's New Deal, the Yue family was barely able to have enough food and clothing in Tangyin. After the promulgation of the New Deal, the Yue family quickly completed their class decline and became tenant farmers of the Han family in Xiangzhou. Four sons also starved to death one after another. Only Yue Fei, who was called Wulang, He survived by relying on his gifted physique.

The pressure of the entire family quickly fell on Yue Fei's shoulders. Within two years, his eldest son was born, and the sixteen-year-old Yue Fei entered a situation where there were seniors and juniors.

Under such circumstances, Yue Fei should have spent his whole life immersed in the fields under the burden of family, but as we said before, Song Huizong still had some remarkable things in establishing schools, such as opening official schools in counties For example, there is no charge for students of appropriate age.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the embryonic form of romance novels had already been born among the people. People at that time called it "talking" or "Zhu Gong Diao". On this stage where romance reviews were initially started, the Three Kingdoms has always been a popular theme.

According to the family records of Yue Fei's descendants, Yue Wumu loved hearing about the Three Kingdoms when he was a boy. He was especially fond of Guan Zhang, who was praised by storytellers. He envied his bravery, loved his loyalty, and admired his chivalry.

Perhaps it was under the influence of the "idol" Guan Yu that the young Yue Fei became interested in "Spring and Autumn". After finishing the farm work quickly by relying on his physical strength, Yue Fei continued to attend free official schools and read it after "literacy" on his own. There are more and more books.

According to the statement left by Yue Fei's future subordinate Li Tinggui, the former Taishi Bureau, Yue Fei, who had escaped from illiteracy, was very knowledgeable. Whenever he heard that the other party had some knowledge, he would find ways to ask for advice, and he soon developed an interest in the art of war under the influence of the times. interested.

It is also for this reason that Yue Fei, who joined the army as an adult, was able to borrow the penetrating insight written by Du Mu in the late Tang Dynasty, "Hebei regards the world as if it were a pearl, and the world regards Hebei as if it were limbs", thus gaining Zhang Suo's favor.

But seeing Zhang Fei laughing with his own eyes, Ma Chao didn't want to admit his envy. He simply turned around and raised his hands to Liu Bei, who was in charge:
"With Duke Xuande's permission, I have read the "Chu Shi Biao". It can be called heroic."

"Ma Mengqi, you are serious, right or wrong?"

"Yue Fei was born in poverty but had great ambitions. After the Northern Expedition, he still did not forget to imitate his master's example to achieve great ambitions. He can be said to be a generous man with both courage and strategy."

Therefore, seeing that later generations said that Yue Fei was determined because of General Yun Chang and Yide, it must be a lie to say that he is not envious.

We don’t know the specific thoughts of the impoverished young Yue Fei when he was studying in poverty. Was he yearning for the generous and chivalrous style revealed in the Commentary on the Three Kingdoms and his determination to help the crisis, or was he yearning for the pre-Qin Dynasty after he started reading the Zuo Zhuan of the Spring and Autumn Period under the influence of Guan Yu. The ancient and heroic charm of Yingyi.

A burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the palace of General Han Chang'an.

Zhang Fei leaned forward and backward, patted Ma Chao on the shoulder and said:
"What does Meng Qi think of Yue Fei's ambition?"

As he spoke, Ma Chao raised his hands to Kong Ming without even looking at Yide. Zhang Fei was so angry that he yelled:

Whether it was the letter Xuande wrote to him when he was far away in Jingzhou or the few words Pang Tong said later, they all made him guess. It was not until he entered Chang'an and saw the light that Xuande even arranged a small banquet in private. It took him an entire afternoon to reveal his uncomplicated fate.

"Let the name of Yue Fei be known in the books of future generations, just like the heroes of Guan and Zhang!"]

But in short, when Yue Fei faced the perilous Northern Song Dynasty as an adult, he had no idea of ​​shirk and avoidance. Instead, he calmly said that he had fallen behind Qing Shi:

Although he is not Ma Teng's legitimate son, Ma Chao has been required to study in both civil and martial arts since he was a child, but he usually resorts to more simple and crude force methods.

Although he has always been inferior in terms of bravery, Ma Chao has always had a stiff neck, so he is not afraid. At this moment, he just turned his face and said "hum":
"The name of Zhuge Wuhou was also honored by later Tang emperors. His ambition is consistent with that of Yue Fei. How can it be wrong?"

After saying this, Zhang Fei no longer hesitated, but others could hear clearly, and in a few words, he agreed to meet at the martial arts field later.

Kong Ming smiled, turned his head and sighed with Liu Bei: "Four of the five sons starved to death. It is hard to think about the tragedy."

"Later generations relegated him to the title of Northern Song Dynasty monarch and minister, and I think so."

"I also blame the reform scholars of the Northern Song Dynasty for making too many compromises. What he said is not wrong."

"Such exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, cutting off the people and avoiding the powerful are tantamount to being a talisman to the tiger, and we should be warned."

Liu Bei did not look at his sworn brother, but nodded cautiously to the military advisor to express his understanding.

In fact, the two of them had talked about this kind of explanation in private since Chengdu, and they even tried to think of ways to solve it.

At this time, seeing that the generals were sent to open official schools in the county and the children from poor families knew the etiquette and justice and had great ambitions, Liu Bei once again lamented the importance of education and sighed to himself:
"It seems that if you want to stop annexation, as the military adviser said, all taxes and taxes should be unified so that the people can understand it without any hindrance, so that neither the powerful nor the poor have any gain or loss."

This sentence seemed to be a sigh or a question to himself, but Kong Ming heard a hint of determination in it, so he couldn't help but smile with joy.

……

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin and others didn't pay much attention to Yue Fei's humble beginnings, but when they heard words like "Late Tang" and "Du Mu", their ears immediately stood up.

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin chose to throw the question directly:
"What is the meaning of the words about the limbs of Pearl of Hebei?"

The tragedy of the Anshi Rebellion had already given Zhenguan civil and military officials a clear understanding of the importance of Hebei.

There is no way, the result of not paying attention to it is that the "Yin of the Qin Women", which is full of tears every word, is still hanging in the hall.

Therefore, Chang Sun Wuji directly stepped forward and said:
"Neither the world nor Hebei can survive alone."

"If Hebei is strong, the world will be safe; if Hebei is lost, the world will be restless and short of breath, just like in the Song Dynasty."

Li Shimin nodded, but in his heart he felt a little bit amused by Changsun Wuji's words of "like the Song Dynasty".

Fang Xuanling copied this sentence with a pen, nodded with his finger and said:

"There are strong men and horses in Hebei that are intertwined with mountains and rivers, and the world can rely on them to achieve prosperity and peace in all directions, so they are as precious as pearls."

"However, if Hebei does not exist, the barbarians and the Di will disturb the borders, and if we are in danger and want to be safe, we will have to take the wealth of the world. Without it, it will be difficult to run the country."

"It is easy for people to do it. If a pearl is lost, it will be difficult to survive. If a limb is lost, the Que will be humiliated by outsiders."

"We, the scribes of the Tang Dynasty, were great talents, and these high-level words were fulfilled in the Song Dynasty."
