Chapter 343: Dalit? Expensive?

Pei Yuanfeng squatted in front of me, looked at my stubborn eyes, sighed long, as if giving up, and then said, "You, you know, why it was so difficult for the imperial court to abolish the pariah in the south . "
I froze for a moment, but he did not expect that he would suddenly say this, and shook his head subconsciously.
"Actually, the father emperor did not think about it, and all of the court did not care about the lives of the people of the south. "
"So, why exactly?"
In fact, I have always had such doubts in my heart. Pei Yuanzhang is not a narrow-minded emperor. When he went south before, he really paid respect to his actions in Yangzhou, otherwise Huang Tianba wouldn't be intimidated. Help him win, but after he ascended the throne, the situation of the pariah in the south has been slow.
Among them, what are the hidden reasons?
Pei Yuanfeng looked at me and slowly said, "You need to understand that since there are untouchables, then there will be relatives who are relatively expensive."
Dalit? Expensive?
There was a stun in my heart. These two titles, such as cloud mud, sounded irritating, and I seemed to feel something faint.
Pei Yuanfeng said, "In fact, there was no reason to reduce the population of the three provinces of Jiangnan to pariah, because pariah had to bear taxes several times higher than elsewhere, and Jiangnan was the richest place in the Central Plains. This tax It's amazingly high, but not much flows into the treasury. "
I was taken aback: "Where, where have you been?"
Pei Yuanfeng glanced at me, silent for a moment, and slowly said, "Qingying, do you remember where the royal family came from?"
"..." I stared at him with wide eyes, a little dry voice: "Out of customs."
"Yes, we are from outside the customs. Shengjing is our hometown."
When Pei Yuanfeng said this sentence, the thick black sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and the faint childish face also showed faint anxiety, saying: "The ancestor emperor went down from the south of Beijing to the Central Plains and hit Jiangnan all the way. Although he fought the battle, in fact, it was the people who won the battle that supported the battle. Otherwise, if there is insufficient supply for such a long front, the entire Central Plains battlefield will be overwhelmed. "
This was the first time I heard about the royal family's southward trip, and I came to understand that: "All the taxes in Jiangnan went to Shengjing?"
"Yes." He nodded: "This is the transaction between the ancestor emperor and Shengjing. Shengjing ’s three youngest and four youngest supported the battle, and the trophy was a large amount of gold, silver, and silk sent by the court to Shengjing every year. , Spices and ironware, these things can account for 30% of the state treasury income, without the heavy taxes in Jiangnan, the court could not support it. "
It turns out that this is the real reason for the people in the three provinces of Jiangnan to become untouchables.
The battle for the royal family to enter the country at that time was actually a transaction. A royal family and Shengjing transaction used the Central Plains taxes in exchange for the support of the war. Only in this way, the Royal Family can take the entire Central Plains into the pocket, and Jiangnan Is the chip in this transaction.
It is no wonder that the royal family would attach so much importance to the battle in Yangzhou at the beginning, and would even hesitate to transfer troops from Xichuan to slaughter the city. If they did not win Jiangnan, they would not be able to pay back even if they really found the country and faced the lion opening in Shengjing.
I suddenly felt a little funny, but the soreness in my heart made people want to cry.
The slaughter of Yangzhou, the blood-stained Central Plains, caused the people in the three provinces of Jiangnan to breathe uneasy, and to bear such a heavy burden for generations. All these originally originated from a transaction, a record of history, which could have been so heavy.
Really "all things are ruminant dogs"!
I said, "So, this time southward, is it related to Shengjing?"
"Yes."
"... So, before you left the capital and went to Qinghai, you actually did not go to Qinghai, but to inquire about Shengjing?"
"Yes."
"So, what's wrong with Shengjing?"
Pei Yuanfeng was silent for a while, watching me slowly and said, "Qing Ying, do you know the prince --- do you know where my elder brother left after leaving Beijing?"
My eyes widened suddenly: "He returned to Beijing ?!"
Pei Yuanfeng nodded silently.
For a while, my mind was messy, lying on the bench and panting slightly, thinking back and forth in my head-Pei Yuanxiu, he returned to Beijing!
No wonder, it ’s no wonder that after the battle for conquest in Beijing, he and Empress Yin completely disappeared from the land of the Central Plains, and there is no news of them, but there is no earth in the whole world, and Pei Yuanzhang has already become the ninth five Zhizun, how could you not find the whereabouts of a waste Prince!
There is only Seungkyo, where he cannot move!
No wonder, at that time I saw a letter from Shengjing in Yushufang, which was put together by him and the intractable Nanfang memorial!
At that time, he had found Pei Yuanxiu's whereabouts, but could not do anything!
I was still a little confused, but I already felt it faintly, hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Sheng Jing! Is there something wrong with the south, Prince Prince?"
Pei Yuanfeng nodded: "Although I haven't found out what happened, there is news that someone from Shengjing went south and seemed to have reached some agreement with a certain power in the south, but you know, some power in the south , Has always been against the court, if Sheng Jing wants to reach an agreement with them, I'm afraid-- "
A certain force in the south, my heart suddenly burst into that name-Changmingzong!
This was once heard by Huang Tianba and those assassins, that is, the power behind them, but how big this power is, but it is unpredictable. A rejuvenating drug store has turned Yangzhou into a world upset, and it seems This medicine shop seems to be just a small branch of that gate.
Shengjing's people went south, did they reach an agreement with Chang Mingzong?
I know that Zongmen and Huang Tianba's intentions are contrary. Their approach is so extreme and vicious. If there is any agreement with Shengjing, what kind of agreement will it be?
Thinking of this, my eyebrows were twisted into a frown.
At this moment, there was a shadow in my eyes, and I hadn't looked back. A warm big hand gently touched my brows, rubbed my brows, and looked down, Pei Yuanfeng was looking at me.
"Green baby, don't worry about this southward trip, will you?"
"Master, tell me," I paused and said, "Who is the one who won the south of Beijing this time?"
"..." There was a strange wave on his face, and he slowly lowered his eyelids. It took a long time before he said, "I don't know if my elder brother has moved, but it seems-Auntie has gone south."
I suddenly understood it.
No wonder, he kept asking me not to care about the south. No wonder, he just said that he didn't want to see me hurt again. This time the boat was so anxious that there was no time for the coastal officials to board the ship's bow to greet them. The ship was not down the water, but because it was being towed.
Looking at his worried look, I smiled.
I slowly leaned back to the chair. The pain in my chest was not broken, but it seemed to be unbearable after a long time. When everything recovered, I saw Pei Yuanfeng still squatting in front of me, holding the chair with both hands and watching carefully. My young face was full of concern.
"Master Wang," I thought for a while, and said, "I have another question for you."
"You said."
"Why did you stay in the court and would be willing to help the emperor?"
Pei Yuanfeng's face shook slightly.
This is something I do n’t understand for a long time. Pei Yuanfeng is the child of Empress Yin. According to relatives, he and Pei Yuanxiu are more close to each other. However, after the war of defeat, Pei Yuanzhang ascended the throne, but he did not resist. Even after knowing the whereabouts of Empress Yin and Pei Yuanxiu this time, he still returned and continued to assist Pei Yuanzhang!
Seeing me solemnly looking at him, Pei Yuanfeng was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, and said, "You, Qingying, I have always been like a child, but in fact, I have my own ambitions."
"..."
"I also hope that we can abolish the inferior citizenship in the south, integrate the Han people with those outside our borders, and integrate the north and the south in the sky. Only in this way can the Central Plains usher in a real prosperous age. To fight, but because I have my own ambitions and ideals. "
"..."
"Although I am closer to my mother-in-law, but-the ambition of the emperor and me is the same."
...
I looked at him stupidly, shocked and speechless for a while.
Maybe, it's really because he has always been like a child in front of me, which made me forget. In fact, he is the most brave and warlike general in the dynasty. He is an aspiring, man!
It turned out that he had the same ideals and ambitions as Pei Yuanzhang!
Only then did I remember that when I first met him, it was actually in Shangyang Palace!
Pei Yuanzhang may not be a friendly brother, so Pei Yuanfeng is not enthusiastic about him, but two people have the same ambition, which is why they have not forsaken each other.
In the men's world, emotions may occupy a very heavy part, but in addition to emotions, there are more and more important things that guide their lives and make them fight, struggle, and even regret it!
My eyes were slightly red, and Pei Yuanfeng said immediately, "You, are you angry at me, Qingying?"
"what?"
"At that time, I actually told you--"
He didn't finish his words. I already smiled slightly, preventing him from continuing to say, and then said: "Master, I am not angry, I am admiring you!"
"what?"
"Only the person who insists on his ambitions and ideals is a real man. In my eyes, you are a man of ingenuity!"
He froze and looked at me with joy.
I slowly looked into the distance again, and in the already dim sky, the south was close.
Your ambitions, ideals, who will you meet in the South and what kind of future will you meet?
