Chapter 0053 On the World
Xiao Yuhuan frowned and paused. He lived in this virtual capital for a long time. Those past events seemed to have become memories, but they are still vivid in their minds.
"That was four or five years ago. At that time, I was still young..." Xiao Yuhuan came gently, and his voice told a miserable story of hungry hell all over the earth. For several consecutive years, they have suffered from locust plagues and plagues, and the government has been scrambling to lie about their political achievements. Either in order to climb up far to report the famine and not report good news, or to fill their own pockets with the food funds for disaster relief. Anyway, in the end, in the end, the people have to pay a lot of taxes, and they have to pay, but they still have to pay nothing from the famine. If you can't pay the grain on the stone, you can sell the house, or if you can't squeeze oil and water, you can sell your children. For a while, a small number of young and bold people became rebels. If they catch them, they will be killed by the nine clans, and most of them can only carry it. Later, if there is no grain, they will go to the mountain to dig grass roots and peel the bark. If they don't even have these, they will dig up the blue leaf stone in the mountain. Those who eat blue leaf stone will fall and die in a few days. Later, the child was found as soon as he went out, and it turned out that he was eaten.
Speaking of this, a trace of panic flashed in Xiao Yuhuan's eyes. Obviously, he must have experienced similar shocks at that time. Zhuo Fan couldn't bear to ask, but gently held her and held her in his arms. Looking at Zhu Changping, as Xiao Yuhuan's face turned pale, the feeling of empathy could not be fake, and this tragic fool also knew that it was a famine in the range of hundreds of thousands of miles.
Xiao Yuhuan settled down and continued to tell that later, they could only escape from the wilderness, so penniless. All the way to the east, passing through Henan, Shaanxi, they found that the situation there was not much better than in their hometown. The people starved officials and squires were still full of fat, because of the influx of disaster victims, and there gradually It was not a place to stay, so, so she continued all the way to the northeast and came to Kyoto. A large number of disaster victims were blocked from Kyoto and let themselves die. And she herself was taken the opportunity to find a child by an unscrupulous boss to enter the capital. Her parents and brothers didn't know where they were later.
Xiao Yuhuan's tears fell down. In fact, which of these sisters are not suffering people, especially in recent years, most of the new sisters in this building are hungry people who have escaped from the famine. A full meal can be exchanged for a person. The flower buildings in the capital are flocking to it. Gradually, they have formed a line, specializing in There are 'goods' with superior characters, and there are also special escorts in two places, and then buyers of various flower houses, such as livestock, are used to buying and selling.
Zhu Changping was very depressed. He drank two cups in a row, but his face turned red and his little hands trembled. Unheard of sensational things are really difficult to accept for a while. Zhuo Bufan can understand her current feelings, but the best way to treat idealists full of fantasy and unrealistic ideas is to directly smash her fantasy, which is the natural truth of Zhuo Bufan. I don't know why. Zhuo Fan is naturally willing to help her. He wants her to know the real situation and doesn't want her to live in fantasy anymore. Why Zhuo Fanfan is like this? Later, he can only explain that he may indeed have some beauty. Beauty's reluctance to give up.
"Actually, this is not the most serious problem." Since the drug should be used, Zhuobufan said.
Zhu Changping opened her eyes in surprise. She is now a little afraid to hear something from Zhuo Fan, but there is no way to escape. "What, what's the problem, and more serious problems?"
Zhuo Bufan nodded and said, "This time outside the customs, I also noticed on the road that even in the relatively rich place north of the capital to Haishanguan, the people's life is not very good, and the real fat and oily people are all those squires and rich, and you know why these squire rich people are so rich. ?"
Zhu Changping shook his head like a child, pitifully.
"Because there are officials behind them," Zhuo Bufan said softly. However, isn't his father the biggest official to the extreme? Er, in fact, from this point of view, is it against Laozi that he is talking to Zhu Changping now? Sweat, this seems to be a little inappropriate. Oh, regardless of him, you should know, Four years later, Dahua is gone, and no matter how big the official is.
"official?" Zhu Changping asked doubtfully, and then seemed to understand something and said, "You mean, officials and these squires..."
"Haha, it is exactly that the virtuous brother is really smart. Without the protection of these local officials, how can these gentry and riches dare to bully the people in this way? The poor and the rich become richer and richer. Now, I, have become a world of corrupt officials and local tyrants and evil gentry. The people can't talk about the suffering. The virtuous brother is full of reading poetry and books, and should understand. Compared with the country, the people are like water and boats. Naturally, it is clear that water can carry a boat and overturn it." In terms of Zhuo extraordinary, he is grateful for this sentence he heard in the classroom in his previous life. It is really quite appropriate to use it here and in this era.
Zhu Changping was in awe and did not hear the words used to describe her in his extraordinary words. He said to himself, "Water can carry a boat and also overturn it. Well, well said it." At the same time, he remembered something and quickly asked hopefully: "Brother Zhuo, you mean, I, Dahua, are in chaos now? I heard that there was a disturbance surnamed Zhang in Sichuan and also took down the Taiping Mansion. Is it because of the civil unrest caused by famine? However, I heard that it was not serious, and the imperial court has sent a large army to calm down the chaos. Our military strength is huge. Although we are not as brave and good at fighting as the Tatans, as long as we temporarily suppress the civil unrest and wait for the famine to pass, it should still be remedied.
Zhuo Fan thought about it. When it comes to the topic, he should also think about it carefully. However, from the beginning of teaching the young children to the current discussion of people's livelihood, he felt that he had also benefited a lot. In a short time, Zhuo Fan sighed, "In this way, I'm afraid this famine will never be passed."
"Why is this?" Zhu Changping was anxious.
"Think about it, when this army goes out, food and salary are naturally heavy." Zhuo Fan asked with a smile that he has a say, at least a general for a few days.
"Yes, the army goes on an expedition, and it costs a lot of money. I understand what you mean, but this army's pay is borne by its own treasury, and it will not increase the burden of the famine land." Zhu Changping is still very smart and explained in advance.
"Well, even so, the money of this treasury always comes from taxes. Even if you don't increase the taxes in the famine land, you have to increase them from other places. Our Dahua has been fighting with the Taran for many years. The army has been out to fight, and hundreds of thousands of troops are resident on the Guanningjin defense line. Every day, the white silver flows away like water. If you look at Dahua, where else can support the civil strife? It is inevitable to exhaust the fishing and calm down Sichuan, Shanxi, and Henan and Hebei. Finally, it is inevitable that there will be domestic and diplomatic difficulties everywhere. Therefore, everyone will finish it together.
Zhu Changping was shocked and immediately fell into the long examination. According to Zhuo Bofan, this is a dead end of the world. However, he always felt that there was something wrong. Suddenly, Zhu Changping suddenly realized and said to Zhu Bofan, "The corrupt people in the world you said are not easy to survive, and the domestic and foreign affairs are trapped in Dahua. , where did it come from? Did you see it with your own eyes or experience it yourself? Can you see the world by walking back and forth? You just said that peeping at the whole leopard can't be applied to people's livelihood. Don't you think it's all?
Er, Zhuo Fufan was dumbfounded. I just knew that I knew that Dahua was going to die, and he died in the hands of the civilian army and died in this domestic and foreign difficulties. However, you can't tell him that she came from time travel. Tell her that she doesn't understand what time travel is. If she understands, she won't believe it. Shit, this girl is good everywhere, but she is too smart. What should she do now?
