Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 8 Inheritance
In the next few days, Chen Qingsi stayed at Elder Peng's home.

The originally peaceful and peaceful Tongguan Village became a lot more lively because of his words of self-protection, and there was also a trace of tension in the air.

After all, a small village with less than a hundred households suddenly had two hundred soldiers stationed there, so many things were naturally different.

But initially, it is a good thing for Tongguan Village.

There are 200 more people, eating, drinking, sleeping, and drinking, which has boosted the village's economy a lot.

Of course, only for now...

There are ruffians everywhere, and practicing martial arts is not just for reasoning.

It's just that the influence brought by Chen Shuozhen's rebellion has not subsided. At the cusp of this storm, no one dares to cause trouble, and everyone pays for meals and drinks honestly.

Previously, Chen Qingsi was busy working for a living, and Elder Peng did not have the opportunity to teach him in detail. He took advantage of this opportunity to recuperate and gave him a formal lecture.

Chen Qingsi also neatly called out the two words that the original owner wanted to call but never dared to call: "Sir!"

Elder Peng also accepted this honorific with a smile.

Mr. Peng Qi is not a pedantic scholar. He has experienced troubled times, served as the head of a county, has rich experience and knowledge, and has sufficient grassroots experience. The things he teaches are not found in books.

Chen Qingsi listened with great interest.

His later generations already had deep experience, but the system of the times was different.What he learned cannot be applied mechanically in this era, but it can be combined with the knowledge imparted by Mr. Peng Qi and help to absorb and understand the knowledge imparted by Mr. Peng Qi.

His strong receptive ability and sharp thinking that can draw inferences from one instance made him secretly frightened, knowing that he had made a mistake.

This student is probably even better than those he taught before.

Elder Peng Qi looked at Chen Qingsi who was frantically absorbing knowledge with some confusion, and said: "Qingsi, do you know why you gave up your official position to teach when you were a teacher?"

Chen Qingsi shook his head. In his memory, Mr. Peng Qi was originally a figure, but he had a falling out with the Suzhou governor and returned to his hometown to teach. As time went by, his original connections were weakened and he was far less prosperous than before.

Elder Peng did not speak. He hesitated for a moment and turned back to the inner room. When he came out, he had a simple wooden box in his hand. With a bit of nostalgia, he carefully opened the wooden box and took out a folder of official documents that had turned yellow with age. , handed it to Chen Qingsi.

Chen Qingsi saw that Mr. Peng Qi was so cautious, so he took the official document with both hands cautiously. There were five words written on the hard cover: "Six Strategies for the Governance of Suzhou".

Chen Qingsi asked: "Did Mr. write it?"

Mr. Peng Qi took a breath, then smiled and said, "Please take a look at what I wrote in the early years."

"Then students should read the teacher's good advice!" Chen Qingsi opened the book and read it carefully.

Old Peng Qi smiled heartily. This boy's mouth has become much sweeter since he became a disciple.

Chen Qingsi looked at the governance methods written by Mr. Peng Qi and kept nodding.

The Six Strategies for Suzhou written by Mr. Peng Qi are very mysterious in Chen Qingsi's view. The general idea is to use the water network in the south of the Yangtze River to closely connect Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Changzhou around Taihu Lake, and develop and manage them together, connecting Yangzhou upstream and Yangzhou down below. Connecting Hangzhou and Quanzhou, Jiangnan forms a complementary whole.If it is truly implemented, it will not only benefit the three prefectures of Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Changzhou, but also radiate to nearby prefectures and counties: such as the eastern Zhejiang region where the civil unrest broke out.

If Peng Qilao's governance plan is really implemented, and without mediocre officials and weak officials holding them back, the Chen Shuozhen uprising in eastern Zhejiang will most likely not happen.

only……

Chen Qingsi somewhat understood why his husband had given up his official career. He sorted out his thoughts and said with some restraint: "Sir's six strategies to govern Suzhou have given full play to the local humanistic and geographical advantages. The method is excellent. . However, there is a saying that students don’t know whether to say or not.”

Elder Peng was a little surprised, but thinking about the other party's behavior in the past few days, he felt it was reasonable: "It doesn't matter if you just say it!"

Chen Qingsi said: "Sir's policy is good, but it is not in line with the overall situation of the times and has no feasibility at all." He paused and said: "The student put it bluntly, the imperial court does not need an economically prosperous Jiangnan, but an economically prosperous Jiangnan. What is needed is a Jiangnan that can provide large amounts of food support to the imperial court."

Peng Qi sighed: "How unfair! The people in the south of the Yangtze River worked hard and had good harvests year after year, but they were poor. In the end, they had to stand up and resist, which became the merit of others' promotion. Who can explain this truth?"

Chen Qingsi looked at her teacher and said, "It's indeed unfair, but it's worth it."

"gentlemen!"

"Everything in the world has its own give and take. There was turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the world's population dropped sharply. The Turks in the north were strong and powerful. As the saying goes, there were more than a million people who controlled the strings. The Rong and Di were as strong as ever before in ancient times. The Turkic chiefs used Han people to dominate the Central Plains. The purpose of accomplishing the Northern Wei Dynasty was to support the feudal princes from all walks of life in order to reap the benefits of the fishermen. It was the late emperor who used the power of thunder to capture the two kings and seize the world to break this situation. However, the Turks were still strong, and Gaozu even gave up Guanzhong and moved the capital. Nanyang’s idea. Then the Turkic army marched towards Chang’an, the capital, and signed the humiliating Weishui Alliance.”

"Had it not been for the late Emperor's great efforts in governing the country, and in the fourth year of Zhenguan, he captured Jieli Khan and entered the capital to overthrow him, the imperial court would still be under threat from the Turks. What would have happened then? How would the eggs be intact under the overthrow of the nest?"

"The late emperor fought in all directions and became famous all over the world. It was naturally not his fault. It was just that the army's expedition required a lot of food. He sacrificed Jiangnan in exchange for today's prosperity. Students think this is a trade-off, not right or wrong."

"I can only say: when things prosper, people suffer; when things die, people also suffer."

Mr. Peng Qi said happily: "Well said! I couldn't see through it as a teacher and couldn't understand it, so I resigned in anger. At such a young age, you are able to look at this matter calmly, which is much better than my husband back then."

Chen Qingsi said: "Sir, don't worry too much. Chen Shuozhen's rebellion has given the imperial court a warning. Jiangnan has paid too much. As long as the ministers in the temple still have brains, they should slow down and let Jiangnan breathe."

Chen Shuozhen was a commoner. As a woman, she was able to set off a rebellion involving hundreds of thousands of people in three states. How could she just rely on ghosts and gods to brainwash her?

The truth is that I have been squeezed so hard that I can no longer survive.

Old Peng Qi said: "I hope so!"

He paused and said, "You have been crowned for more than a year, and you haven't even given birth to a cousin yet."

Chen Qingsi knew that people in society at this time had a cousin, so after time traveling, he had already picked one for himself, but now he bowed and said awkwardly: "My parents didn't leave a cousin, please ask the teacher to give me a nickname."

Peng Qi said: "How about we call it negative way?"

Chen Qingsi said hurriedly: "Thank you, Mr. Sir, for giving me the words. The students will live up to Mr.'s teachings."

Mr. Peng Qi nodded with satisfaction and said, "You lived here before we got married. Sir, I will teach you some knowledge that you can use after you leave the village."
