Lu Dynasty

Chapter 86
The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and two young men in their 20s walked in.These two young people are about 1.8 meters tall. They are both thin and thin. One has fair skin and an oval face. They look like girls.The other has slightly darker skin and a square face with a slight beard, but their faces are a little pale.Seeing the situation in the private room, the two young men might regret coming in.Still, they calmed down.

The fair-skinned young man looked like a girl, bowed to us and said, "Yingchuan Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao! I have seen you all!" And the man with slightly darker skin also bowed his hands and said, "Yingchuan Opera Zhicai! How many people have you met?" When I heard their names, I was so excited.I originally wanted to go to Yingchuan to look for them, but I was delayed by the incident in Xujia Village on the way, and I met Wang Yunyan again when I arrived in Luoyang, so I didn't have time to go. I didn't expect them to come to my door.

I laughed and said, "I said who is so bold. It turns out that Yingchuan talents, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai. Yun Chang and Zilong sit down, don't scare the two gentlemen!"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "I was passing by this elegant room and heard someone saying that I was against the general. After listening quietly, I heard some unique insights. I thought some literati were drinking here. I didn't want to come in and take a look. It turned out to be a Helping a burly man really shocks me!"

I laughed and said, "How does Feng Xiao know that we are not literati? In Xiajiuyuan, Lu Feng Lu Baxian, this is my father-in-law, Cai Yong and Cai Bojie!"

Guo Jia was startled and said, "Lu Feng and Lu Baxian who made new paper?"

Xi Zhicai murmured: "Cai Yong and Cai Bojie, the great Confucian scholars who are Feibai?"

"Exactly!" I laughed and said, "I don't know if Feng Xiao thinks that my father-in-law and I can be regarded as literati or not?"

Guo Jia said: "Forget it, if you don't count, who else in the big man can be regarded as a literati? But I heard that Mr. Cai has taken refuge in the Shi Changshi, and his son-in-law Lu Feng is the lackey of the Shi Chang Shi. Come on, it's not like it."

"What did you say!" Zhang Fei yelled, and Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were shaken to the point of collapse.I hurriedly told Zhang Fei to shut up. I still hoped to subdue these two great talents. If I gave him a drink and died of drinking, I would subdue a ghost.Although later generations say that Guo Jia is a ghost, I am not Zhong Kui, and I can't catch ghosts!

I smiled and said to Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai: "You two gentlemen, don't blame me. My virtuous brother is a reckless person. I hereby apologize to you two gentlemen." Actually Cai Yong was very upset, he I know that the news that he has taken refuge in Shichangshi must have been released by those aristocratic families.Now that Guo Jia said that, it made him unhappy.Even if he, Cai Yong, took refuge in Shi Changshi, it is not something a commoner can say.But seeing how I treated these two people so politely, Cai Yong started drinking on his own and ignored Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.

Under Zhang Fei's roar, it took Guo Jia a long time to recover and said: "Sick woodcutter, the roar of tigers and leopards is unbearable. The ancients never deceived me. From my point of view, this brother must be a general of tigers and bears."

I smiled and said: "My virtuous brothers are all generals of tigers and bears, enemies of ten thousand people! To take the head of a general among ten thousand armies is like picking something out of a bag! Feng Xiao, Cai Yong and Lu Feng have taken refuge in ten permanent servants, But Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo said it!"

"How did Baxian know!" Guo Jia was a little familiar, almost like me.

"Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao studied in Yingchuan. They were friends with Xun Yu and Xun You's uncle and nephew. They are the only ones who can influence Feng Xiao. Although Xun You is a nephew, he is older and has experienced many things. Of course I won’t talk too much! Then Xun Yu is the only one!” I said, “And these two people are from aristocratic families, what kind of good things can they say about Shi Changshi! Since I, Lu Feng, are close to Shi Changshi, Naturally, there are only shortcomings and no advantages. In fact, these aristocratic families are the root of the chaos in the country, but they are still lying to deceive the public, and they really don't feel bad about themselves!"

"Hey, Brother Ba seems to be very dissatisfied with the big family!" Guo Jia said, "Why does Brother Ba say that the big family is the root of the chaos in the country?"

I motioned Zhao Yun to watch at the door, don't let two more people come in, it would be troublesome.Seeing how cautious I was, Guo Jia nodded with a smile, then took Xi Zhicai to find a seat and sat down.

I smiled and said to Guo Jia: "Why do you have to deceive me in filial piety! With the wisdom of filial piety, why do you want me to tell you clearly?"

"I just want to see if Brother Ba's opinion is the same as mine!" Guo Jia picked up a bowl of wine, sipped it and said to Xi Zhicai: "Let me tell you, the wine in this room is definitely better than the wine outside. Good wine!"

Xi Zhicai laughed and said, "Your nose belongs to a dog. You can tell any good wine just by smelling it."

I looked at Guo Jia and said with a smile: "Feng Xiao, you like to drink, I have a lot!" After I finished speaking, I told Guan Yu to bring some of the best jars.

Guo Jia was surprised: "Isn't the wine here the best?"

"Of course, but wine is different!" I smiled and said to Guo Jia, "I still have various fruit wines, rice wines and other wines, and I'll give them to Feng Xiao to try!"

Guo Jia smiled and said: "That's a good relationship, but Brother Ba, you haven't said anything yet, why do you say that this aristocratic family is the root of the chaotic country?"

"This topic is very big, and I can't explain it clearly for a while, so I will simply talk to Feng Xiao!" I said with a smile: "Food is the most important thing for the people. After the founding of each dynasty, the population has continued to increase. But the land remains unchanged. Gradually, the land will restrict the development of the population, and the aristocratic family is the factor that catalyzes this process. The aristocratic family will annex the land at any time. When the land is annexed to the point where it cannot support the population, it will There will be a massive peasant rebellion."

Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Cai Yong showed different expressions after hearing what I said.Guo Jia seemed indifferent, Cai Yong was very nervous, Xi Zhicai remained calm, but the flashes of light in his eyes made me discover how extraordinary Xi Zhicai is.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Since Baxian said so, is there a way to restrain land annexation?"

I smiled and said: "Simple! At first the land was state-owned, and the tax was divided into mu! Then we worked hard to develop commercial technology, exempted agricultural tax as much as possible, and changed to commercial tax. This is the solution to the root cause, the symptoms, non-stop aggression, and land expansion !"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "It's easy to say, but difficult to do, not to mention the obstruction of the aristocratic family, even the emperor will not allow it!"

"Hehe, then we can only break and then erect!" I laughed.

After hearing my words, Guo Jia had a flash of light in his eyes, and asked, "How does Brother Ba look at Taiping Dao?"

"It's just a group of rebels, it's just a group of common people!" I said.

"When will the Way of Peace be reversed?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"February or March next year!" I said, "It will be settled before October, and the imperial court will use Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi as generals. Huangfusong and Zhu Jun will surely become famous men, and Lu Zhi will depend on it." Has someone protected him!"

Xi Zhicai asked: "Why did Baxian say that Lu Zhi needs someone to protect him? Moreover, Feng Xiao once estimated that the Taiping Dao will not be reversed until May or June!"

"The matter about Lu Zhi is due to his personality!" I laughed and said, "Feng Xiao said that the Taiping Dao rebelled in May and June because..."

"It's because I didn't expect that someone would report!" Guo Jia interrupted me and said, "Brother Ba Xian, is that so?"

Now it's my turn to be surprised, because I based it on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, while Guo Jia only deduced it based on the situation.And the history I know is almost the same as what Guo Jia deduced. The wisdom of the ancients is really unimaginable.
