Chapter 57 Landlord
"This is inaccurate. I haven't drawn a picture of territory yet? I don't know how big it is." Yao Changsheng frowned and looked at Tao Qini and said.
"It's enough to get the meaning, so you can see it more intuitively." Tao Qini raised her eyebrows and said, "You who are familiar with history books, I believe you have heard of: the truth is within the range, and the territory is where you stand." She smiled and wriggled her head.
Yao Changsheng was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
"This is Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han..."
With Yao Changsheng's pen, the mouths of the three members of the Tao family opened wider and wider. Tao Liuyi said in surprise, "This territory is getting bigger and bigger!"
"Young Master Yao, what is the basis for expanding territory? Will you rule the world immediately?" Tao Qini raised her eyebrows and said, looking at him leisurely.
He was really petty and never forget it. Yao Changsheng shook his head and laughed when he heard this. Emperors of all generations used civil and military skills to show off themselves.
The biggest feature of martial arts is to expand territory.
"I'm really a child. The country's major affairs are about sacrifice and war. How can you see the territory map? It's piled up with white bones." Yao Changsheng looked at her with serious eyes and said cautiously.
"What are those sacred and Rong? I don't understand?" Tao Liuyi scratched his head and looked at Yao Changsheng ignorantly.
"Sacrifice is a sacrifice, from worshiping ancestors, ancestral halls, to Taimiao." Yao Changsheng looked at him and said in a gentle tone, "As for Rong, it is war, war."
"I understand this priest. When I escaped from the famine, my father asked me to carry my grandfather and grandma's tablet." Tao Liuyi nodded and said.
"Yes, the ancestral tablets, take them wherever you go." Yao Changsheng said gently as he looked at him, and then changed the subject and brought back the topic. "War is not as easy as you imagine. Before the troops move, food and grass will come first. This requires the coordination of the entire country. At least the Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Works, etc. on the surface must cooperate with all their strength."
Tao Liuyi scratched his head, opened his mouth, and was embarrassed to interrupt.
Yao Changsheng looked at Tao Liuyi scratching his head, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.
I kindly explained what the Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue, and Ministry of Works do.
Tao Qini looked at his black eyes and shook her lightly. He knew too much!
"I understand, but what does this have to do with the Ministry of Works?" Tao Liuyi became confused again.
"Simply put, large-scale civil engineering projects." Yao Changsheng looked at him and said seriously, and explained in a popular way, "In terms of water conservancy, such as the embankment of the Yellow River, preventing the flooding of the Yellow River from happening, so that more food can be harvested, and there will be food and grass."
"Oh!" Tao Liuyi nodded in understanding and said distressedly, "I can prevent floods, but what can I do about this drought!"
Yao Changsheng was speechless when asked, and thought for a while, "This Dujiangyan can both prevent floods and store water and irrigate." He also talked about the geographical location of Dujiangyan in detail.
"Young Master Yao, you praise me like flowers. It is the Yangtze River, not the Yellow River." Tao Liuyi said with great depression. "I hope there will be such water conservancy projects on the Yellow River, so that there will be a bumper grain harvest, so I won't have to escape from the famine."
"You innocent guy, you still can't eat enough for a good harvest. I've never heard of a low-grained farmer." Tao Qini said in a bad tone, "Besides, as long as you are still a tenant farmer, no matter how much food we grow, it's all the landlords."
"Ah!" Tao Liuyi wilted like eggplant made by Shuang, and suddenly said with great energy, "Then we will be the local master."
"Just shout this landlord." Tao Shiwu said with laughter and tears as he looked at his innocent son.
"By the way, how can dad become a landlord?" Tao Liuyi looked at Tao Shiwu with pure eyes and asked seriously.
"You kid?" Tao Shiwu looked at him and said with a giggle, "I don't know anything, I just think of the local owner?"
"I just asked if I don't understand." Tao Liuyi blinked innocently as he looked at him.
"Then work hard and save money and buy land." Tao Shiwu said honestly.
"Save money! Then when I go to the city, I earn money with this effort, save money to buy land, so that my parents and Ni'er can live a landlord's life." Tao Liuyi's pure eyes showed expectations and yearning for life.
Yao Changsheng looked at them honestly and had a simple and simple method and smiled, "In fact, you can still get a local master after studying and getting fame."
"No, no, I can't read a big word. I can't even think about it after getting a fame and fortune." Tao Liuyi waved his hand in a hurry, stretched out his hand to touch his neck and said, "It's the most practical thing to do. I have the strength."
"You are not afraid of meeting corrupt officials! You will take your land in one sentence." Yao Changsheng looked at him with a smile and said.
"Aren't they all corrupt officials? There is also Master Qingtian." Tao Liuyi blinked and looked at him carefreely.
"Not to mention the number of corrupt officials and Master Qingtian? As long as you meet a corrupt official, your life will be over."
"This...that..." Tao Liuyi scratched his head and said, "Can I still have to pass the exam at such an old age?"
Yao Changsheng looked at him with his eyebrows lightly, "Have you ever heard of farming and reading to pass on his family? He doesn't need to be exposed to the wind and sun, and he has many benefits to obtaining fame and fortune, and he doesn't have to pay any extra taxes. After becoming a juren, others will hang their heads in your name."
Hearing the four words "Farming and Reading" and passing on family traditions, Tao Qini complained in her heart that after entering feudal society, the entire history has been summarized into: day after day farming, rent collection, rent exemption, study, exams, fame, land annexation and farmers' bankruptcy, rapid population growth, famine and uprising, overthrowing the old, establishing the new, and then entering the next round, entering a vicious cycle.
"What is this for?" Tao Liuyi said to him in a daze.
Yao Changsheng briefly talked about the various potential benefits after obtaining fame and fortune.
Tao Liuyi's eyes were wide open, as if he had opened the door to a new world, and could stuff an egg in his mouth.
"So why bother? It's the situation now." Tao Qini snorted coldly, and said with a slightly cool voice, "The old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come."
Yao Changsheng looked at her in surprise, always feeling that this girl knew what she said so easily.
"What are you talking nonsense about? You want to rebel! That's a serious crime to behead you! You're not going to die." Shen slapped her on the back.
"Cough cough..." Tao Qini coughed suddenly.
"Damn, you're so real. I don't know that Ni'er is weak now! She still has such a heavy hand." Tao Shiwu looked at Tao Qini worriedly and asked, "Ni'er is okay!"
"I didn't use any force!" Shen spread his palms and looked at his rough hands, looking innocent.
