"So what if we don't send them away? The past few years have been bad, and the grain harvest has not been harvested. If we stay, we will starve to death."

"If you don't send them out to exchange for some money and food, how can you marry a wife and have children with so many young children in your family? How can you pass on the family line?"

"The women in the family have to give birth every year, and there is nothing we can do. If we don't give it away, we won't be able to support them, and we will starve to death."

"The son was also given away, and staying here is also suffering."

"Sending them out is also a way of life. If you're lucky, you can go to a rich family and have enough food and clothing. It's better than staying here to die of starvation..."

"In our place, our ancestors have lived like this for generations, but when the envoy came, he established a ban on slavery. The merchants here did not dare to buy it, and we did not dare to break the envoy's rules, so we had to give it away as in previous years. Go to Youzhou."

"We have no other choice. There are old people in the family. We can't let them starve, suffer from cold, and be scolded for being unfilial..."

"The food at home is not enough to eat, but the tax in the county is more than one year..."

"The wives and concubines are all brought back by us with money, why can't we sell them?"

"Since ancient times, there have been so many people buying and selling wives and children, and there is no express provision in the national law. Buying and selling wives and children is considered a crime."

……

Eunuch An, Da Xianzun and the others had already left, leaving Chu Ning, Bai Su and Feng Jiuqing sitting quietly in the empty lobby of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion.

Chu Ning looked at Bai Su, then at Feng Jiuqing, both of them looked pale.

Those people's justifications are still in my ears, and it seems that they are still echoing in this empty room, mixed with a bone-chilling chill.

Every sentence, every reason, Chuning has thousands of words to say back, and even forcibly order people to be arrested.

However, Mr. An's words blocked all of Chuning's words - Daqing's laws did not expressly stipulate that wives and children cannot be sold.

It took a long time for Feng Jiuqing to come back to her senses, and said with a trembling voice: "I used to think that Li Rui was thinking too much. After all, she is the daughter of King Song and a member of the royal family... Now it seems that I am too stupid." , Even these ordinary people have thousands of reasons, let alone the royal family? Isn’t the so-called marriage marriage just the buying and selling of children in an open and aboveboard manner?”

After a few breaths, Feng Jiuqing said to herself again: "They all say that the year is not good enough, and the harvest is not enough to eat, but since there is not enough food, why do you still have to marry wives and concubines, and have children every year?"

She didn't know about others, but Feng Jiuqing knew about He Xiu. He had three wives and concubines, more than ten children, and even more grandchildren.

"While talking about marrying a wife and having children, and passing on the family line, but at the same time buying and selling children as goods... What kind of lineage is this passing on? What kind of generation is it passing on?"

"The harvest is not good, and the national tax is heavy...but now that there is a shortage of manpower outside Muyang City, why are they unwilling to leave the city to find a way of life?"

"At the beginning, my Taoist and human beings were all kind, and I persuaded you to turn the tide and help the world... Now that I think about it, how ridiculous it is!"

What I saw and heard today had a huge impact on Feng Jiuqing.Even though she has traveled extensively and seen a lot, she even followed Chuning's side and personally participated in the battlefield.But after all, she is only a little older than Bai Su. Under the protection of Bai Su and Jiang Junshou, the setbacks she really encountered in life may not be one-tenth of Bai Su's. The torture of good and evil naturally messed up his mind.

Chu Ning could understand Feng Jiuqing's mood at the moment and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start, so she had to find something for Feng Jiuqing to distract her: "Jiuqing, people's hearts are like the sea, There are unpredictable things, whether they are good or evil, none of us can judge, but whether they are good or evil, we still have to do what we should do. Go check the low-rent housing and see if anyone is missing."

What Chuning is most afraid of now is that these people will sell well and abduct people from outside the city.Those people, Chu Ning, had personally bewitched them when they were in Youzhou. Firstly, they had no knowledge, secondly, they had no thought, and those who stuttered with a few words would follow them away. It was very deceiving.

This is also the biggest reason why Chuning built low-rent housing into collective dormitories.In addition to alleviating the pressure on housing construction, the purpose of concentrating the population for easy management is to reduce the crime rate.

Chu Ning knew that the war not only brought the pain of loss to these people and caused them to be displaced, but also caused them serious psychological trauma, lowered their bottom line of personality, and inspired the once deeply buried animal nature.

For this reason, Chuning decided to conduct centralized management first, spend money on infrastructure and industry, and set aside time for them to calm down slowly.If she had let people out to reclaim land from the beginning, the soaring crime rate in the wilderness would not only hinder the development of Shepherd City, but also occupy more of Chuning's energy and make her tired of managing it.

Unexpectedly, despite all precautions, Chuning was still taken advantage of, and a bloody hole was torn open behind this booming new city.

When Feng Jiuqing stumbled away, Chu Ning sent someone to inform the heads of various departments to go to the conference room for urgent discussions, and finally walked to Bai Su's side.

"A Su?"

Bai Su came back to her senses and saw Chu Ning dragging a stool over and sitting next to her with caring eyes.

"I'm fine." Bai Su's heart warmed slightly: "Senior sister, she..."

"I was hit." Chu Ning held Bai Su's cold hands and sighed, "All day today, she was very excited to tell me how to open up the land, how to cultivate it, and when the small plain will be finished. , when to move the population out, how to plan the labor force reasonably, and how to make everyone have enough food and clothing..."

But the reality gave Feng Jiuqing a slap in the face, telling her that not everyone is willing to follow her plan.Even though, all her efforts are to save those people from the misery of poverty and misery.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister is not that fragile." Bai Su shook Chuning's hand back, and pondered again: "This matter...is not easy to solve. If they are convicted according to the 'Slavery Ban', private law is greater than national law; If they are left alone according to the law of Qing, some people will repeat the same mistakes in the future, treating the 'ban on slavery' as nothing, and even the order on the breeding of goods is useless."

I have to admit that Bai Su's self-control is extremely strong. Faced with such a situation that empathizes with her, she can quickly control her emotions, and rationally analyze the intricacies involved.

"During the period of duke filial piety, the king of Shang reformed his laws and established his faith by relocating trees. Those who made meritorious deeds must be rewarded and those who committed crimes must be punished. For this reason, he did not hesitate to punish Gongziqian." Bai Su looked at Chu Ning and persuaded: "Wenhe, I know you value laws and regulations. Merits and demerits, but here is the lesson from the past, and you must think twice."

Ever since she got to know Chuning, Bai Su knew that she was the most concerned with rules and regulations. She would pre-decree in everything and then act in accordance with the laws. Therefore, she was worried that she would be like those legalist sages who rashly punished He Xiu and others in order to maintain their own laws. , causing dissatisfaction from the imperial court and scholars, and finally ended up in the miserable end of Shang Jun.

After hearing the words, Chu Ning asked, "Ah Su thinks that Lord Shang's death is really due to Gong Ziqian?"

Bai Su was slightly startled, and then asked, "According to Wenhe, what is the reason for Shang Jun's death?"

"It starts with power and ends with power." Chu Ning said: "Since ancient times, there have been many outstanding legalists and many people who are good at law, from Guan Zhong and Li Kui to Wu Qi and Shang Jun, to Shen Buhai and Han Fei And Li Si, there were also Zhang Shizhi and Sang Hongyang in the previous dynasty...however, how many people died well?"

Not only these, in the history of Chuning's previous life, there were also Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng, and Liang Qichao.These people related to the "law", no matter whether it is reform or reform, whether it is success or failure, they basically did not come to a good end. Even Prime Minister Wang Anshi, who "has been popular in the world for 30 years", ended up with only a law. Disabled people's disease, the end of despondent death, let alone someone else?

"The law is the national weapon. Rule the country by the law, punish the evil and promote the good, make the meritorious and punish the wrong, enrich the country and strengthen the army, fight against the outside world and secure the inside, and the world is peaceful." Chu Ning said a rare sentence of Wen Zou Zou, feeling very uncomfortable I got used to it, so I changed to vernacular: "However, that is only the ideal state of the legalist sages. In fact, the law has not reached the height of a state weapon at all, because the law still overrides the imperial power."

"According to Wenhe, Lord Shang was doomed to die tragically the day he entered Qin." Bai Su mused, "He wields the sharp sword of law, and what he wields is not Prince Qian, but Qin's kingship. "

"Yes! Therefore, some endings are doomed as early as the beginning." Chu Ning sighed, "For example, Shang Jun, like you and me... But all the tragedies we have seen are actually chosen by the parties, and they are relatively less miserable. The ending. The legalist sages are like this, you and me are like this, and so are He Xiu and the others."

"From our point of view, if the weather is bad and the rain is not enough, we need to reclaim more land and build more canals and ponds... But these things that seem easy to us are extremely difficult to them. Where do grains and agricultural tools come from? Where do cattle come from? Where do seeds come from? If we want to build canals and ponds, how do we repair them? Where do tools and materials come from?"

"What we see is the ignorance of prostitution, the excuses and indifference they make when they quibble, but in fact, this is also the result of their choice with their own ignorance."

Bai Su knew what Chu Ning meant. If these people hadn't chosen to sell their wives and children, they would have drowned or abandoned their babies—or they would have simply turned into bandits, raised their swords, and committed atrocities.

If they are raised for a few years and sold, at least these children still have a chance of surviving, but when they are born to drown and die, they are discarded, but they don't even have a chance of surviving.

This is not only a problem that society is facing now, even in Chuning's previous life, in an era when social welfare was tens of millions of times better than it is now, such cruel incidents were still exposed from time to time.

"I know that I can't support myself, but I still want to marry so many wives and concubines, have so many children, and let the children continue to repeat this kind of life." Bai Su looked at Chuning, with a little sadness in his eyes: "I don't know what to do. Call them stupid, or pity them for being miserable."

"Maybe, from our point of view, they are ignorant, but from their own point of view, they are miserable." Chuning pondered, "We think they are ignorant because they don't know how to think, change, and change." Control your emotions, don't know how to control your desires, and you are so poor that you can't get rid of it, but you still want to have a baby."

"And they feel miserable because they think they have made changes, but they are still in deep trouble." Bai Su added: "In their view, to harvest more food, they can only grow land. Farming requires more labor, so you can only keep giving birth to children..."

"Yes, they are trapped in this endless loop and cannot get out." Chu Ning looked at Bai Su while talking, and Bai Su was also looking at her, and couldn't help smiling softly: "Don't worry, Ah Su, I am not a descendant of the Legalist family. , will not be like them."

"Wenhe is not a legalist, but he values ​​law; Wenhe is not a strategist, but he knows how to fight; Wenhe is not a strategist, but he can speak; Wenhe is not a Mohist, but he is good at work..." Bai Su also smiled and said: "It's more accessible and human."

"The so-called human heart and human nature are nothing more than saving people." After receiving the praise from Bai Su, Chuning smiled even more happily, and followed the business exchange: "Compared to Ah Su's ability to gather money and layout means , how can the light of my star be compared with the brilliance of the bright moon?"

The two of them couldn't help laughing as they spoke, and the chill in the room gradually faded away with the smiles.

Whether commercial, political or military or civil, it is not something that can be resolved in one go, but no matter how many negative emotions these things bring about, they should not be mixed into the relationship.

Chu Ning likes Bai Su. If the initial liking started from his appearance, then as time goes by, as he gets along with each other, communicates and understands each other, his appreciation will increase day by day. The initial liking will also deepen with appreciation. gradually turned into love.

Although Chu Ning, like Bai Su, is a face controler, the love she pursues always hopes that there are other things besides appearance and desire.

Compared with Chu Ning who stood on the shoulders of historical giants, although Bai Su's knowledge and knowledge are inferior, but his talent is so high, his vision is so deep, his heart is so broad, and his ambition is far-reaching, Chu Ning sighs to himself For example.

It is said that Chu Ning knows the soldiers, and the Xuanjia Army under his command has excellent soldiers and amazing combat power.However, Mrs. Yan once said a word-a layman looks at the armor, and an expert looks at the pots and stoves.

And this pot is the meaning of logistics supply.

Back then when she was fighting in the west of Liaoning, Chuning led the army north to the Raoshui River. For her, this was just a matter of thinking about it and opening her mouth. But for Bai Su, who supported the logistics of the entire army at that time, it was a matter of Undoubtedly a big test.

Chu Ning often recalled later that his dream was the plot of the grain road being robbed, and Bai Su not only completed the supply and supply while maintaining the original profit of the caravan, but even made a layout in Dongnai, not only promoting the repair of Dongnai County Road , and even set up the Kyushu Bodyguard Company.

The Kyushu Bodyguard Company was established in Donglai. In name, it can accept the employment of anyone and is out of the background of Liaodong. This means that in the future where the Chu Ning Xuanjia Army has concerns, the other three major business groups controlled by the Kyushu Bank , including all merchant forces close to Liaodong, can be guaranteed by force.

Compared with Bai Su's view of the big picture that one step counts as ten steps, Chuning knows very well that apart from being good at construction and administration, everything else is just so-so. It's okay to be happy.Compared to military strategy, she is inferior to Mrs. Yan; compared to tactics, she is inferior to Yan Lingge; compared to force, she is a scumbag.

If it were these people, with so much money invested by Bai Su, sooner or later another Xuanjia army would be thrown out, another Shepherd City.

When Liang Qiuyue came in, she saw Shi Jun and Bai Dangjia sitting there holding hands and smiling at each other, but with Bai Dangjia around, she didn't dare to look too much, so she hurriedly reported: "Shi Jun, all the chief executives have arrived. .”

The author has something to say: Student Leng went to check the map, hahaha, so happy!

I have read historical materials before, and it is said that during the Han Dynasty, the sea level in Liaodong and Liaoxi may have been higher than it is now, but later, it seems to have dropped again, and the specific historical data cannot be checked, so let’s write it as it is now.
