Chapter 60: I won't tell you

Chapter 60 Will Not Tell You
The scenery along the way didn't change much, but I don't know what happened. After leaving Hedong-do and entering the area of ​​Gyeonggi-do, Fang Jie always felt that he had found something different on his senses. The capital of Chang'an is the heart of Da Sui, and Gyeonggi Province is the rib that protects the heart.
Twenty-four Dao Sui, all governors except Gyeonggi-do are second-ranking officials. The governor of Gyeonggi-do, however, is a master from Yipin.
Perhaps in the perception of ordinary people, a big product is nothing more than a very big official. However, we must know that this very large official represents the trust of His Majesty. Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the governors of Gyeonggi Province have all trusted the doubtless people. How can the emperor hand over this large area to his uneasy people?
Just like, how could soldiers dare to put their backs in front of the enemy's eyes when fighting in battle?
Gyeonggi-do is the smaller of the twenty-four Dao-Sui divisions. Even so, the area of ​​Gyeonggi-do is larger than that of Dongchu.
When Fang Jie and his party entered Gyeonggi-do, the weather was already warm and people became obsessed with the afternoon sun. Whenever they passed by a village, they saw the elderly sitting quietly and peacefully on the firewood and chatting in the sun. Miss the feelings of past lives. Older people tend to be a little lazy, preferring to enjoy the warmth under the sun for a longer time than young people.
The content of their chats may not involve any major national events, often more about their young memories.
When Fang Xie looked at the old people, he couldn't help thinking. Among these old-fashioned villagers, some people may have been veterans who survived countless battlefield killings, and some may have been rich. Although they are not rich in their old age, they are very peaceful.
Da Sui's social system has been gradually improved after a century, and there are certain written regulations for the care of the elderly. For example, an elderly person over the age of 50 can receive ten copper coins each month from the village's forehand. An elderly person aged 60 can receive fifteen copper coins. Every winter, there will be cotton clothes and quilts. If they can live to the age of 70, not only can they get more subsidies and care, but even county-level travel to see elderly people over the age of 70 must avoid.
Especially with this generation of emperors, the concern for the elderly makes people feel warmer. Therefore, the Emperor Yang Yi was also called by the people as the emperor's most honorable emperor in the century.
Although there is a story that is not true, it is very popular in folk. It was said that when the emperor was the fourth prince, he once visited the south as a mission inspector. When the guard of honor passed a stone bridge, an old man with a cane or was tired, he sat in the middle of the bridge and rested. I wondered if the afternoon sun was too warm. The old man sat on the bridge for a while. Fell asleep.
The fourth prince, Yang Yi, stopped his hand from going down to wake the old man away and walked over personally to take off his big sister to cover the old man. Fearing that the old man could catch cold, he deliberately asked people to remove the cotton pad in his carriage and put it under the old man, and gently supported the old man to lie down on the cotton pad. Then he sat down beside the old man and took a pufan to drive away the mosquitoes for the old man.
At that time, the accompanying officials were very amused. After sitting there 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 that he was 72 years old. Yang Yi immediately sealed a big red envelope and gave it to the old man, saying that it was the court's respect for the old people over 70 years old.
He used the word filial respect, not gift.
After the old man woke up, Yang Yizhen helped the old man cross the bridge, and then the team set off. Just when people thought this episode was over, Yang Yi did something that had to be admired. He ordered someone to find out where the old man lived, and then arrested the old man's son-in-law, grandson, grandson and grandson, and scolded him in the presence of the people in the village.
Let an old man in his seventies go out alone, and no one is there to support him. This is filial piety, especially ... the old man is going to walk for ten 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.
With a whip, the grandson's son and grandson cried and pleaded guilty.
This incident has been chanted by the people, and of course it soon reached the ears of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty at the time. His Majesty was silent for a long time after he knew it, and then he dispelled the idea of ​​setting the three princes as princes for a while.
It was later said that the old man lived to his nineties and died without illness.
Before dying, the old man held his 80-year-old son's hand and said he was wronged, leaving you to raise your head in the village for half a lifetime. However, it was worthwhile to get a whip for our family forever. Isn't there such a heavy penny? I'm dying now. I can take this money out and buy a house in the city. Let the children go to the city. I can't let them follow you again People in there should be laughingstock.
Of course, no one else knew this.
Fang Xie heard the story before entering Gyeonggi-do, when he just smiled and whispered a word. Although Big Dog and Mu Xiaoyao and Mr. Zhuo heard it, no one understood the meaning of the word. Mr. Zhuo quietly moved his mind, only to realize that this young man who seemed to be dangling from the ground was shocking.
Fang explained the words: "show"
...
...
Seven counties of Gyeonggi-do, Fangjie went from Hedong-do to Gyeonggi-do and walked through Xiping-gun. After passing straight through Xiping-gun, they went to Bukdi-gun, and after passing Sanshui, Sanyang, and Sanwon, it was the capital of the Great Sui, Changan .
I have to say that the peace and order after entering Gyeonggi-do is amazing. Fang Xie and his party were on Hexi Road and Hedong Road, and they encountered occasional robbers through the mountains. After entering Xiping County, Fang Jie suddenly realized what was the difference that he had always felt. In each city and even in each village, let alone strong men and gangsters, he didn't see one.
After walking a few hundred miles in Xiping County, he didn't see a beggar who asked for food. This is a difficult event to achieve even in the previous life. This shows that the officials in Gyeonggi Province, which is closest to the imperial capital, did not dare to do nothing.
"The prosperity of the Great Sui Dynasty is rare in the world."
When looking for the inn in Lulai County, Fang Xie couldn't help expressing his emotion.
After listening, Mr. Zhuo only smiled, saying that this was because officials in Gyeonggi Province knew the truth well and did not dare to slack off.
What is the reason for Fang Xiewen, and Mr. Zhuo smiled that since the founding of Sui Dynasty, the emperor has killed the most officials in Gyeonggi Province. Because here is too close to the emperor, and officials do not trust each other well, if anyone makes a mistake, I am afraid that it will not take long to impeach his memorial will be placed on the emperor's case.
Officials need to be wary not only of the so-called people who dare to sue into the capital, but also to guard their colleagues. No one knows if it was a good friend who had been drinking and tea with himself before, and the next day he made a mistake and put his fault on the court.
"Officials don't protect each other or even trust each other ..."
Fang Jie murmured and sighed: "I don't know if this officialdom is good or bad for Da Sui."
Mr. Zhuo became interested when he heard this sentence, and sat down and asked, "What is luck? What is misfortune?"
Fang Xie sat on the bed with his and lay down with his arms on his back and said, "Fortunately, because officials don't protect each other, the people will naturally get a lot of benefits. Because of this, Her Majesty the Emperor does not have to worry about any official or private affairs Courtiers, local officials do not collude with each other, Jiang Sui in Da Sui is stable. Her Majesty is afraid of such a situation, and even moved a lot of thoughts on it. Anyway, I have never met, officials Beware of each other to this extent. "
"As for the unfortunate ... I mean, in case of any dangerous situation in Sui Da, there is a total mistrust between officials and generals. This is a huge hidden danger. For example, if foreign enemies enter the territory of Da Sui, it will not be guaranteed that officials will The private grievances are not cooperating with each other. Once there is such a crisis, Da Sui is afraid that the biggest problem he will face is from the inside. "
Hearing this sentence, Mr. Zhuo only smiled slightly and asked, "Then, do you think there are soldiers from any country in the world who can step into the territory of Da Sui? Meng Yuan? Or Dong Chu, weak as a sheep, Nan Yan? "
In the tone of this sentence, the pride and self-confidence of the Sui people are vividly displayed.
Fang Xie thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "I really can't think of any country in this world where soldiers can run wild on the territory of Da Sui."
"but……"
He paused and said, "If it were not for the eternal Mingjun, I was afraid that the officials below would not dare to engage in such a fight. Otherwise, the emperor would have to vomit blood?"
"Disrespectful"
Mr. Zhuo said blankly, Fang Jie.
"Respect and disrespect are not on the surface, but on the heart."
Fang Xie said seriously.
Mr. Zhuo sighed suddenly after looking at Fang Jie: "I haven't seen from your heart how much respect you have for His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor."
Fang Jie was stunned, and then angrily said, "You are cheating!"
Mr. Zhuo smiled and groaned for a while and said, "Since you also said that you can't control such a game unless you have a long history, then I can tell you seriously. Your Majesty can change the game like this in one hand, so naturally Turn the DPRK into another look with one hand. When Her Majesty wants to make officials ununited, none of them dare to unite. When Her Majesty wants to make officials unite, who dares not to unite? "
Fang Xie stunned, and then said sincerely: "Domineering."
...
...
Mr. Zhuo looked at Fang Xie and asked seriously: "Why do I always feel that you are full of doubt, uncertainty, or even a sense of crisis in everything? I have never seen this kind of thought in any young man, even if It ’s the old man with a stale candle. I ’m afraid it ’s not as thorough as you can see in some things. UU reading books www.uukanshu.com You live in worry every day like this, are n’t you tired?

Fang Xie thought about it and answered, "Maybe it's a habit."
Mr. Zhuo said, "I'm more curious. What kind of experience made you develop such a habit?"
Fang Xie smiled: "Aren't you able to see it yourself?"
Mr. Zhuo glared at him and said, "Do you think that reading the mind is omnipotent? I said before that for a person with a firm mind or a strong defense, it doesn't make any sense to read the mind. I don't see the deepest thing in your heart Hidden things everywhere, that's why you are wondering how old a city like this is? "
Fang Xie said seriously: "Is this talent?"
Seeing him reluctant to say more, Mr. Zhuo is not good at continuing to ask. He was silent for a while and said, "Actually ... I'm even more curious, although you have been saying that you don't have any certainty about being admitted to the Yanwu Academy, but no matter the tone or the heart, you seem to have nothing too much to enter the Yanwu Academy. A lot of worry. What kind of ability are you hiding ...? "
Fang Xie asked: "Mr. Want to know?"
Mr. Zhuo nodded.
Fang Xie looked at no one left and right, leaned in Mr. Zhuo's ear and said very softly, "I won't tell you ..."
Seeing Mr. Zhuo's expression of eating crickets is so cute, Fang Jie smiled and said, "In fact, I'm really not sure whether I can enter the martial arts court, but I seem to be a bit confident that I can get into Da Sui officialdom. Maybe ... I am more suitable Civilian? Because the method I can think of up to now, although it is ridiculous and naive, it is novel and effective after all. Maybe it will really make our masters and scholars in the court of the Great Sui Dynasty look at me, and even the emperor will look at me. Then. "
Mr. Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Perhaps you will find out after you have really become a civil servant ... It turns out that the smell among literati is even stronger than that between military commanders."
