Life Winner Training Guide

Not flowers, but two novel buildings.

You Hongyin understood that it was useless to be impatient, so he simply treated this man as an ordinary scholar, took people to tour the entire garden, and even carefully prepared a banquet. You Hongyin can't cook, but he can eat. The wonderful thing about the food and wine on this table is that it doesn't have the smell of fireworks, but it tastes good. All the flowers are chosen as the main ingredients. It's not that it's any more delicious or complicated than today's dishes, it's just more creative and refreshing for diners.

No matter what, You Hongyin, the owner of the Shenyou Garden, has gained a reputation among the officials, and his trip to the garden with the Third Young Master can be regarded as a formal acquaintance with a special friend.

After sending the person away, Mo Qi asked: "Young Master..." He wanted to ask what was so special about the third young master that he could work for the young master to entertain guests personally. However, before the words came out of his mouth, You Hongyin stretched out. Said: "Mo Qi, you have been with me for many years, why are you still so confused?"

Mo Qi? ? ? ! ! ! He hasn't asked yet.

Although he has been following the young master for a long time, Mo Qi still often cannot keep up with him:-)

Sun Yifang finally followed the advice, suppressed the matter for the time being, and began to select suitable candidates from his own connections to serve as the local general managers in Jiangnan. Don't you just want to find more suitable candidates for your efforts? It would be better if these candidates are your own people.

Chapter 6 The Dream Lantern Turns to Ashes (6)

Although Sun Yifang made a gentleman's agreement at the beginning, in fact, once the fight started, there was no right or wrong anymore.

Jiangnan has been a prosperous place for generations, but a group of refugees rushed into Kyoto, crying and complaining that local officials were driving up the price of state-owned salt and levying excessive taxes and heavy taxes. However, there were many wealthy families in the area, and ordinary people had already been deprived of their land and became tenants. Even though the weather was good and the weather was good, they still had a mouth to eat. , a family The young and old can survive. Last year there was heavy rain, and the harvest in the land of plenty in the south of the Yangtze River was not very good. Some tenants had been cultivating the land for a year, but the harvest was not enough to pay the landlords. Instead, they were in debt and had to become homeless. He went to Beijing to complain to the emperor and asked for his life.

This matter was not caused by anyone, and there was no falsehood. You Hongyin just arranged it and allowed these refugees to come to Kyoto safely.

In fact, today's attitudes towards powerful people in the north and south are different.

The powerful northerners domesticated servants and private soldiers, and built their own defensive bases such as forts. These were very unstable and could easily form local military forces, so the emperor was merciless in their sweeps.

The South is different. There are many wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, and they control too much land. Although it is common to keep beauties and courtiers, they rarely raise soldiers and build forts. Moreover, the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River have their own cultural heritage, and their ancestors have many political officials. This is why the literary style in the south is flourishing and its development far exceeds that in the north. . It is no exaggeration to say that Jiangnan is the cultural center of the world.

Therefore, in order to have someone available to govern the world in the future, there is no large-scale powerful family that cleans up the Jiangnan area. On the contrary, it has given a lot of preferential treatment. The Jiangnan side also reciprocated the favor, and every family accepted the new ruler in power.

Under such circumstances, life in a barren and remote place like Liujia Village is better. The richest families in the town are the businessmen or Yuanwailang. Their conditions are better than those of ordinary people, but they are not able to reach a wealthy family. Two words. The people in some fertile areas in the south of the Yangtze River have suffered. These fertile lands have long been occupied by wealthy families. Ordinary people can only rent fields and become tenants. However, the rent and taxes are very high. In a famine year, the whole family will be in debt and have no food to eat. Add in various government taxes, and there is no way to survive.

The incident of refugees entering Beijing was so shocking that the officialdom was shaken for almost a month. The three chief executives in Jiangnan, Jiangzhou, Jizhou, and Yuanzhou were all dismissed from their posts, and the replacements were all with family backgrounds but not Kyoto officials in the Jiangnan region immediately adjusted taxes within a state after taking office to appease the disaster-stricken people and persuaded local wealthy families to reduce or reduce rents in order to calm down the public anger.

Judging from this series of actions, it is impossible for a humble man from a humble family to take over a powerful position. A person without connections and background cannot sit in the position of chief executive, and the chance of being framed and killed in the end is not small. The local people in Jiangnan are also unreliable and it is too easy to collude with the local wealthy families. Therefore, in the end, the children of the famous families in the north are selected. They have the ability to handle government affairs in this position, are proficient in the methods of the wealthy families, and will not protect the local people due to the dispute between the north and the south. Powerful.

Two of the three new chief executives are related to Sun Yifang and are related by marriage to his mother's family, but they are relatively far away, so most people will not think of them in this regard. Both of them secretly voted for the Third Highness. After all, the temptation of being a high-ranking official was too great. Without the support of the Third Highness, they would not be able to compete with others.

Of course, everyone is still not familiar with each other on the surface. His Majesty the year above his head
