Conquer the World

Chapter 60 will not tell you

The scenery along the way didn't change much, but I didn't know what happened. After leaving Hedong Road and entering Gyeonggi Province, Fang Jie always felt that he had found something different in his senses.The imperial capital Changan is the heart of the Great Sui, and Gyeonggi Province is the rib that protects the heart.

Twenty-four of the Sui Dynasty, with the exception of Gyeonggi Province, the governors of all the provinces are second-grade officials.The Governor of Gyeonggi Province is a member of Yipin.

Perhaps in the perception of ordinary people, Yipin is nothing more than a very large official.However, it should be understood that this very large official represents the trust of His Majesty the Emperor. Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, all the governors of Gyeonggi Province have been eminent and trustworthy people.Gyeonggi Province, the emperor capital city, how could the emperor give this large area to his uneasy people?

Just like, when fighting in battle, how dare soldiers put their backs in front of the enemy?

Gyeonggi-do is the smaller of the twenty-four divisions of the Great Sui Dynasty. Even so, Gyeonggi-do is still wider than the Eastern Chu Kingdom.

When Fang Jie and his entourage entered Gyeonggi-do, the weather was already warm and people became obsessed with the afternoon sun. Whenever they passed through a village and saw the old people sitting quietly and peacefully sitting on the firewood and chatting in the sun, Fang Jie would have a kind of envy and Miss the mood of the previous life.Older elderly people are always lazy and prefer to enjoy the warmth under the sun for a long time than young people.

The content of their chat may not involve any major national events, often more about their memories when they were younger.

Fang Xie couldn't help thinking when he looked at the old people. Among the villagers who looked old, maybe some of them were veterans who had survived countless battlefield battles. Maybe some people had also been rich.Although they were not wealthy in their later years, they were very peaceful.

The social system of the Sui Dynasty has been gradually improved after a hundred years, and there are certain written regulations for the care of the elderly.For example, an elderly person over the age of 50 can receive a subsidy of ten copper coins every month from the village. An elderly person over the age of sixty can receive fifteen copper coins, and there will also be cotton coats and quilts every winter.If you can live to the age of 70, not only can you get more subsidies and care, even the county order travel to see the elderly over the age of 70 must avoid.

Especially in this generation of emperors, the concern for the elderly makes people feel warmer.Therefore, Emperor Yang Yi of Heaven Blessing is also called the most respectable and filial emperor in the Sui Dynasty in the past 100 years.

There is a story that is not popular, but it is very popular among the people.It was said that when the emperor was still the fourth prince, he once toured south as an inspector.When the guard of honor passed a stone bridge, an old man on crutches or walking tired, sitting in the middle of the bridge to rest, I do not know if the sun was too warm in the afternoon, the old man sat leaning on the bridge for a while Fell asleep.

The fourth prince Yang Yi prevented his hand from waking up the old man and drove away, and walked over to take off his big cloak and cover the old man.Fearing that the old man would catch a cold, he specially asked people to remove the cotton pad in his carriage and put it under the old man, gently supporting the old man to lie on the cotton pad.Then he sat down beside the old man and took a fan to drive away the mosquitoes.

At that time, the accompanying officials were all moving.After sitting for half an hour, the old man woke up.The fourth prince Yang Yi asked him how old he was, and the old man answered 72 years old.Yang Yi then sealed a big red envelope and handed it to the old man, saying it was the court's filial respect to the old man over seventy.

He used the word filial rather than a gift.

After the old man woke up, Yang Yi helped the old man to cross the bridge, and then the team started.Just when people thought this episode had passed, Yang Yi did something that people had to admire.He ordered people to find out where the old man lived, and then arrested a large group of the old man's son and daughter-in-law and grandchildren, and scolded them fiercely in front of the people of the village.

Let the seventy-year-olds go out alone, and no one will help them. This is unfilial, especially ... the old man is planning to walk a dozen miles to the town to buy the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. No one even took the initiative to help the elderly buy it, which is even more intolerable.

After the whip was pulled, the old man's son, grandson, cried and confessed the punishment.

This incident has always been praised by the people, and of course soon spread to the ears of His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor.After the emperor knew it, he was silent for a long time, and then he dismissed the idea of ​​setting up three princes as princes.

Later it was said that the old man lived to his nineties and died without illness.

Before he died, the old man took the hand of his nearly 80-year-old son and said that he had wronged you, so that you could not raise your head for half your life in the village.However, a whip in exchange for a worry-free life for our family is also worth it.Is n’t there still such a heavy sum of money? Now that I ’m dying, I can take this money out and buy a house in the city, let the children go to the city, I ca n’t let them follow you again in the village The people in there should be laughing stocks.

Of course, no one knows this.

Fang Jie heard this story before entering Gyeonggi Province, when he just smiled and whispered a word.Although Big Dog, Mu Xiaoyao and Mr. Zhuo heard it, no one understood the meaning of the word.Mr. Zhuo quietly thought about it, only to realize that this young boy who seemed to be hanging out was surprised.

Fang Jie's words are: "Show"

...

...

Seven counties of Gyeonggi-do. It was resolved that they entered Xiping County from Hedong Road to Xiping County. After crossing straight from Xiping County to Beidi County, after passing Sanshui, Sanyang, and Sanyuan, it was Chang'an City, the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty. .

It has to be said that after entering Gyeonggi-do, the security is amazing.When Fang Jie and his party walked along Hexi Road and Hedong Road, they occasionally encountered several robbers passing by the mountain.After entering Xiping County, Fang suddenly realized what was the difference he had always felt. In every city or even every village, let alone a strongman gangster, even Hanako who wanted to eat did not see one.

After walking hundreds of miles in Xiping County, I didn't see a caller named Hanako.Even if it is placed in the previous life of Fang Jie, this is a grand occasion that is difficult to achieve.This shows that the Gyeonggi-do officials who are closest to the imperial capital do not dare to do nothing.

"The prosperity of the Great Sui is rare in the world."

When looking for an inn in the county town of Lulai County, Fang Jie couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After listening, Mr. Zhuo only smiled and said that this was because officials in Gyeonggi Province knew a truth and did not dare to slack off.

Fang asked what is the reason. Mr. Zhuo smiled and said that since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the emperor who killed most people was the official of Gyeonggi Province.Because it is too close to the emperor capital, and the officials do not trust and harmonize with each other, if anyone makes a mistake, it will not be long before impeachment will be placed on the emperor's book.

Officials must beware of not only the so-called diaoren who dare to go to Beijing to complain, but also to be alert to their colleagues.No one knows whether it was a good friend who had been drinking and tasting tea with himself before, and the next day he went to court with his own fault.

"Officials and officials do not care for each other or even trust each other ..."

Fang Jie murmured and sighed, "I don't know if such an officialdom is fortunate or unfortunate for Sui."

Upon hearing this sentence, Mr. Zhuo was interested. He sat down and asked, "What is a matter of luck? What is a misfortune?"

Fang Jie sat down on the bed and lay down with his arms on his arms. He said, "Fortunately, because officials and officials do not protect each other, the people will benefit a lot. It is also because of this that His Majesty the Emperor does not have to worry about officials becoming private. The courtiers and local officials do not collude with each other, and the mountains of the Great Sui are stable. Your majesty is only afraid of seeing its success in this situation, and even moved a lot of thoughts about it. Anyway, I have never seen it, officials Beware of each other to this point. "

"As for the unfortunate ... I mean in case, what a dangerous situation Sui arrives in, the officials and generals have no trust between them at all. This is a huge hidden danger. For example, if foreign enemies get into the territory of Sui, it is impossible to guarantee The private grievances between them are not cooperating with each other. Once there is such a crisis, Da Sui is afraid that the biggest problem to be faced will come from within. "

Hearing this sentence, Mr. Zhuo just smiled and asked: "Then do you think that any country's soldiers in the world can step into the territory of the Sui Dynasty? Meng Yuan? Or the weak Dongchu, Nan Yan? "

In the tone of this sentence, the arrogance and self-confidence of the Sui people are vividly displayed.

Fang Xie thought about it carefully, and then shook his head: "I really can't think of any other country in the world where soldiers can rampage on the territory of Sui Dynasty."

"but……"

He paused and said, "If it weren't for the Ming Ming, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to let the following courtiers fight so intriguingly. Or wouldn't the emperor be tired of vomiting blood?"

"Disrespectful"

Mr. Zhuo said Fang Xie with a blank look.

"Respect and disrespect are not on the surface, but on the heart."

Fang Xie said seriously.

Mr. Zhuo took a look at Fang Jie and suddenly sighed, "I don't know from your heart how much respect for His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor."

Fang Jie stunned, and then said slightly: "You are cheating!"

Mr. Zhuo smiled and pondered for a while, saying: "Since you also said that you ca n’t control such a game unless you are the ancient Mingjun, then I can also tell you seriously. Since your majesty can turn the game into such a way, naturally it can. Turning the court into another one hand. When His Majesty wants officials to be united, they dare not unite. When His Majesty wants officials to unite, who dares not to unite? "

Fang Jie was stunned, and then said sincerely: "Domineering."

...

...

Mr. Zhuo looked at Fang Jie and asked seriously: "Why do I always feel that you are full of doubts and uncertainties, or even a sense of crisis? I have never seen this kind of thought in any young man, even The old man who is a dying year is afraid that it is not as thorough as you can see in certain things. Do you live in such worries every day, not tired? "

Fang Xie thought about it and replied: "Maybe it's a habit."

Mr. Zhuo said: "Then I am more curious, what kind of experience made you develop such a habit?"

Fang Xie smiled and said, "Aren't you able to watch yourself?"

Mr. Zhuo gave him a white glance and said, "Do you think that reading is omnipotent? I said before, for those who are firm in their minds or have strong defenses, reading minds is meaningless. I cannot see the deepest in your heart. Something hidden, so I wonder why you have such a deep city at your age? "

Fang Jie said seriously: "Is this also a gift?"

Seeing that he did not want to say more, Mr. Zhuo was not good to continue to ask.He was silent for a while and said: "Actually ... I'm more curious that although you have been saying that you haven't grasped at all the entrance to Yanwu Academy, you don't seem to have much to enter Yanwu Academy regardless of tone or heart Worrying. What the hell are you hiding? "

Fang asked: "Sir really want to know?"

Mr. Zhuo nodded.

Fang Xie looked at no one on the left and right, leaned close to Mr. Zhuo's ear and said very quietly, "I won't tell you ..."

Seeing Mr. Zhuo ’s deflated expression was really cute, Fang Jie smiled and said: “Actually, I ’m really not sure if I can enter the Yanwu Academy, but I seem to be a little sure that I can get into the Sui officialdom. Perhaps ... Civilian? Because I can think of a method that is ridiculous and naive, but it is novel and effective after all, maybe it will make our Master Bachelors in the Sui Dynasty look at each other, and even His Majesty the Emperor will look at me. What. "

Mr. Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Perhaps you will only find out after you are a civil servant ... It turns out that the bloody smell among literati is much stronger than that between generals."
