To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 166 Volume 4 Subtracting Word Magnolia

Qin Shaonan, on the other hand, seemed to be watching a good show, and said: "Miaozi, hurry up, buddy will be waiting for you."

You Miao knew that she had to go up, but she begged her to be good, and said, "Look at the Tang family, the second place is very happy to say, I have no power and power..."

Several people fell down laughing, Ping Xi pushed You Miao to let him go up, You Miao climbed up to the stage, there was a lot of noise around, only heard Qin Shaonan say "I'll support you", and then fell silent.

However, as soon as You Miao came to the stage, everyone fell silent, and those who had mocked Chen Qing earlier also fell silent.

Chen Qing turned around, and the audience gradually became quiet.

You Miao held the folding fan upside down, and first bowed to Chen Qing: "Master Chen."

Chen Qing hurriedly returned the gift, for a while he felt that You Miao was very familiar, but he couldn't recognize him. You Miao handed over to Tang Bo again, Tang Bo sneered, and dared not speak in the matter.

You Miao said earnestly: "The dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is black and yellow. It is an ominous omen to press it up below this hexagram, so I won't mention it today." The sentence passed lightly, and then glanced at the one that said "Northern Expedition" A piece of cloth, said to Tang Bo: "The period of the Northern Expedition is limited to ten years. Once ten years have passed, I will have the hope of regaining the northern mountains and rivers, and there will be no hope for life."

With one word, everyone was shocked.

Tang Bo had a smile on his face, he didn't know if it was You Miao's humiliating smile that came to his door, or he was determined to win, and he wanted to frustrate You Miao's arrogance.

Tang Bodao: "Brother, this statement is absurd! You must know that there is much help for those who are educated, but few are helpful for those who are unjust. Jiangnan has collected money for years, and even the local people can't support them. The northerners don't farm or plant. Although a large amount of silver flows into the local area, there are only silver taels. What else can it be used for?"

Tang Bo shook the folding fan in his hand when he was speaking, and he looked at everyone in the audience meaningfully in high spirits.Asked: "Last June, how much was a catty of grain and rice? How much was a catty of vegetable oil? How many men?! What about this year? A large amount of silver poured into the south of the Yangtze River, and the price of rice soared. The supply exceeded demand, and farmers could not afford rice. Sericulture farmers can't afford clothes!"

Another person surnamed Huang stood up and said:

"The price of rice has more than doubled compared to last year! Years ago Jiangnan mobilized [-] troops to go to Beijing, how many of them came back alive? Three years ago, Liuzhou collected [-] shi of grain to support the front line of Koryo, but they suffered consecutive defeats." Now that the living and the people are exhausted, Brother Lin has to do his best locally to assemble the army and fight a big battle with no chance of winning!!"

Another gave a sneer and said: "Your son's family business is rich and powerful, and he has the pleasure of traveling on the rivers of Yangzhou at night. I guess he is not short of money."

After several people said a word, everyone in the audience did not become emotional, but there was a long silence.

You Miao looked at the folding fan in Tang Bo's hand, and suddenly became a little distracted. On the fan was a picture of tigers roaring in mountains and forests drawn by a famous calligrapher and painter of the dynasty.He knew that this was not only Tang Bo's rhetoric, but also the idea of ​​the local gentry. What's more, this was actually a long-standing conflict between the locality and the capital for many years.

Tang Bo cupped his hands and made a "please" gesture, indicating that You Miao had something to say, but please speak up.

The scorching sun shone on You Miao's head, and the light was so strong that everyone in the political affairs hall got up one after another. The situation was as if several people were facing You Miao alone, but You Miao smiled lightly and looked down the stage.

"Qin Shaonan from Hubu." Qin Shaonan walked up the steps to Taichung.

Pingxi: "Pingxi, Ministry of War."

Lin Luoyang cupped his hands: "The official department is Lin Luoyang."

The last young man bowed his hands to everyone: "Thank you from the Ministry of Punishment, from Yizhou."

The four came to the stage and stood behind You Miao. The stage immediately turned into a confrontation between two factions of young talents.

The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

There was a big uproar in the audience.

You Miao led four ministers behind him, and was protected by the military god Nie Dan. There was no one to be afraid of in the world, and he said indifferently: "The four lords of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Officials can answer the question of the Tang Lord. Book question?"

Qin Shaonan smiled and said: "Yangzhou alone produces enough grain to feed 140 million people a year. The reason why the price of rice soars when people from the north come to the south is not because there is too much silver. It is because of exploitation and competition. Master Tang, do you know that in the past, the tenants in Yangzhou paid six cents of the land tax, and how much was left over from the township, county, and prefecture levels, and then to the capital? A new law will be implemented this year. Is it true that the tenants pay taxes to the country, and the heavy agricultural tax can be deducted? But in this way, hehe..."

Qin Shaonan smiled and said nothing, he didn't say anything, but the rest of the people understood.

Tang Bohun didn't expect that the four ministers would appear on the stage to counter the Zhengshitang. It was obviously a literary meeting to ask about politics and the people. In this way, it turned into a confrontation between the six forces of the DPRK and the Central Committee and the Zhengshitang. After all, his brain turned a bit slower lock up.

Pingxi said slowly again: "A hundred thousand soldiers were recruited a few years ago, how many of them are tricky, you know in your heart that King Qin's army went to Beijing for less than [-], and even these [-] soldiers have not been trained. They put on armor and took up weapons and went to the front line I went. Mr. Tang was dealing with official documents in the political affairs hall. Haven’t you read General Nie’s statement? I lost the Tianqi army because of insufficient food and grass, weak troops, and factions in the DPRK and China. After living in such a prosperous age, it is precisely because of this prosperous age that the people are rich and prosperous, so they can indulge in ease, and the people do not want to fight, so there is such a failure."

Lin Luoyang sighed: "The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed. Under the nest, how can there be eggs?"

You Miao said angrily: "That's right! Exactly!"

"I started my family immediately after Emperor Taizu, and was ruled by Emperor Jing and Emperor Wen." You Miao stepped forward and said, "The business is developed, and the trade with the frontier fortress, foreigners are all staring at the goods of our southerners."

"Do you know how much Yanbian City can earn from one trade?" You Miao asked everyone, but naturally no one could answer, even Pingxi and others didn't know.You Miao turned around, closed the fan, and gestured: "At least 5 taels of silver!"

"A rich country and strong soldiers." You Miao said: "Without the blessing of a strong soldier, a rich country is a piece of fat that attracts people to covet. No matter how strong the south of the Yangtze River is, it is stronger than the Central Plains? No matter how rich the Jiangnan is, is it as rich as the Central Plains? Take the history of the Central Plains for thousands of years. If you have accumulated so much, you still have this big defeat, and the reason is that you were born in sorrow and died in peace!"

You Miao shook the folding fan again, raised the shocking seven characters towards Tang Bo, and said: "There are thousands of miles on the frontier, the richer the Han village is, the easier it is to be plundered by the barbarians. , the Han people gradually withdrew from the Languan area, retreating again and again."

"The reason why it is said that within five years, if there is no Northern Expedition, the country will surely perish. The rich land is enough to make people lose the courage to fight and the fruit of action. Now it is the most critical time. If the withdrawn army If you die in battle and have no soldiers to replenish, no food and grass, it is only a matter of time before Jiangnan is destroyed. Let me ask you, in another ten years, the old people will die one after another, and in another 40 years, we who stand here will have passed away. Our descendants who came down, who will remember the shame of the second emperor being taken into captivity? Who will remember that Tianqi still has a large area of ​​rivers and mountains in the north?!"
