In the hustle and bustle of the city, Zhongli used charcoal fire to burn tortoises for divination. Li Chuyun looked at it for a long time, and was puzzled by what this meant, so he asked him. Zhong Li said in a serious way: "How does the water flow in low places, why does the sun and the moon rotate? There is one thing everywhere in the heavens and the earth, like fate. It can be as big as the sun, the moon and the stars, the sky is yellow, and the tortoise shell cracks and the disaster of man. Fu, there is a relationship in the dark."

Li Chuyun stroked his beard and didn't understand at all, and said: "Mystery matters, you can't tell the truth."

Zhong Lidao: "Exactly, no one can understand the falsehood."

Li Chuyun was stunned, unable to argue with him, but instinctively felt that this old man might not be reliable.

However, after Zhongli's divination, he agreed to Li Chuyun's invitation.

Speaking of this, Li Chuyun also came in person. Since Zhongli agreed, Li Chuyun was still ready to talk with him.

The two of them left Dongshi in the same car and came to a place of drunkenness and gold on the bank of Bianshui: Zuihonglou.

This place is also a prosperous place. When a group of people came into the building, a bustard asked Li Chuyun if he was a good lady. Li Chuyun said not to find a young lady, and asked the bustard to arrange a boat and get a small table of wine and food.

At this time, Li Chuyun asked casually: "I heard that there was a disturbance in your place a while ago, and there was a lot of movement?"

The bustard looked at Li Chuyun's appearance with a watchful look, and said: "No, it was later captured by the Kaifeng Mansion officers and soldiers."

Li Chuyun said again: "How to deal with it?"

The bustard said: "The old man inquired about it. The general was locked in Kaifeng Mansion first, and then taken away by the forbidden army. He was fined for a month of military pay..." The bustard groaned for a moment and then deliberately said. "But the general was stabbed in the thigh, and a lot of blood was shed. Because of his arrest, the stabbing was a vain stabbing!"

Li Chuyun smiled at the bustard and said, "Don't worry, I won't make trouble."

The two came to the backyard and boarded a boat. The commoner guards wandered in the corridor of the yard, watching the surrounding scenery.

There is nothing special about this place. The boats in the yard are like elegant rooms, but they are just arty. But after Li Chuyun paid attention to this place, he discovered its benefits...

There is no other kind of fun place. In this backyard, there is only the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, which is just to quiet the noise. And this water mooring is very shallow, each boat is alone, no matter in the water or outside, there will be no ears on the wall. As long as you speak quietly in the cabin, absolutely no one can hear...More than a secret discussion in a secret room, It's much more casual.

In the narrow and elegant cabin, the two sat opposite each other. Li Chuyun poured wine and had a drink with Zhong Li, and laughed: "Mr. Yaxing, can you ask a little girl to accompany you?"

Zhong Li said helplessly: "I'm afraid he has more than his heart and lacks strength."

The two looked at each other, their shoulders shaking with laughter.

Zhong Li calmly said: "It's still a good young man, now I go..."

"Oh?" Li Chuyun looked at him.

Zhong Lidao: "A gentleman is less than 30 years old, what do you want most?"

Li Chuyun was asked and was seduced into the memory. Thinking of his youth, he muttered: "Power, status, wealth? There are all of them today."

Zhong Li shook his head: "Prove what he can."

Li Chuyun listened thoughtfully.

Zhong Li said: "Before you and I talked about retreat. Li Gong knew about the'Zhongnanshan shortcut'? The old man lived in seclusion before, the body was hidden but the heart was not hidden. It is really suspected of being fame and fishing, and now living in seclusion in the city. It's not the same. Even people like the old, want to show off their talents when they are young, and have the emperor of the world in mind?"

Li Chuyun listened and said: "Mr. puts his heart to his heart."

Zhong Li smiled and said: "Gong Li specially invites the old to come to this good place, and it is meaningless to fight again. How can Li Gong be troubled?"

Li Chuyun stroked the beard of his chin, pondered for a long time, and then said: "The Han and Tang dynasties rule the world, and the world will rest and rejuvenate. It is your majesty's intention to open up territory and show your prestige. The ministers of the court will not agree; your majesty also has doubts." /

Zhong Li kept nodding, but said nothing. So the two of them raised their chopsticks to serve the wine, and fell silent. Outside, the voice of a little girl invited by someone else played and sang.

"The old man can sit down and drink and eat meat. It's better than many people. Many people still don't have enough to eat." Zhong Li suddenly sighed.

Li Chuyun also sighed.

Zhong Li asked again: "Why is there a famine in the world?"

Li Chuyun said: "Natural and man-made disasters are hard to escape."

Zhong Li shook his head and said: "No, natural disasters and man-made disasters are only appearances, like water flowing underneath it is also appearances. With natural disasters and man-made disasters, droughts, floods, and wars, the number of people can be reduced, and the land is large and the population is small. , There are too many people."

Li Chuyun said: "Hey, gentlemen in the court, all regard the number of households as the foundation of the country. Sir, this is contrary to common sense."

However, Li Chuyun suddenly thought of the very congested situation in the East Market, which was too crowded and narrow, which was really uncomfortable.

Zhong Lidao: "The more people there are, the more taxes, the stronger the country. But the people live, the more people, the land is merged, the land is less...When the old heard of Yao, Shun and Yu, beasts appeared and trees were dense. The men hunt and the women gather. If today, there are beasts and fruits everywhere, and the population is sparse with strong bows and crossbows, will there be famine?"

Li Chuyun did not refute. First, he felt that his sophistry was not Zhongli's opponent at all. Second, he had vaguely guessed Zhongli's view. This view was consistent with the views of Li Chuyun and other martial artists. Why did he refute?

Zhong Li continued: "The Emperor Zhou ruled the world for eight hundred years. At the end of each dynasty, there were natural disasters and man-made disasters. The people died of hunger and cold, gangsters were everywhere, domestic disasters rose, and they competed in the Central Plains. Those who live and losers die, there are fewer people. When the Han Gaozu founding the country, there were a few people in the country. After the end of the Han Dynasty war, there were ten rooms and nine empty spaces. Before that, if there was a rich land outside, the people of famine moved to seek If people are not hungry, they will not turn back."

Li Chuyun said: "It seems reasonable, but it's a bit far-fetched. Emperor Yang of Sui has lost the world with military force. He wants to open up territory and consume the national treasury. Now the national treasury is empty..."

Zhong Li said: "If you don't have money to raise soldiers, why don't you go to Fusang Country to dig silver mines? Why don't you go to Cozhi to transport grain if you don't have food?"

Li Chuyun stunned: "Fusang National Bank?"

Zhongli said: "Of course there is, and there is gold. I heard that the Japanese people from the East China Sea use yellow and white things for their business. The gold and silver mines in Fusang state. Cochin Champa, rice is ripened five times a year, and it is in the south. , But there is no shortage of food."

Li Chuyun said: "The mountains are high and the roads are far."

Zhong Lidao: "It is Li Gong's intention to persuade His Majesty to open up territories with strong troops. If the sea is too wide, the soldiers are not strong yet."

Li Chuyun thinks that Zhongli is too far away, but the matter of Fusang state-owned gold and silver can really be said...The dragon army only has a few ships, but the sea ship system is owned by Hu Ben, crane control, etc. The status of tens of thousands of elites is the same! If the emperor wants to form a division on the sea, what can he do with no profit?

The most important thing is that when the mine is dug out, it will be used as a money maker. The benefits are very straightforward.

Li Chuyun looked at Zhong Li and said, "If you don't give up, you will go to the Guogong Mansion and walk around frequently, and you will be the doorstep. Let's meet each other."

...Li Chuyun and Zhong Li discussed and deliberated, and wrote a memorial called "The Famine Theory." Take out some of Zhongli's statements, such as the scarcity of land, more people, and famine, and elaborate on them. He also boasted that it was an empire that he would fetch horses from the grasslands, take food from Jiaozhi, and take gold and silver from the East China Sea. The world is rich, and the country is forever... The word empire is Li Chuyun who specially used Guo Shao’s previous remarks in Jiangning Mansion. Say, first brag for the emperor... At that time, Guo Shao fooled Jiangnan scholars in Jiangning Mansion and planted an empire tree!

Of course, all these dreams must maintain the number and power of the martial artists, and they have to give them a lot of money! This is what Li Chuyun and other martial artists are saying.

Li Chuyun's memorial was immediately ridiculed by the Chinese officials. The "famine theory" in the memorial was ridiculed as "whisperous without reading the scriptures".

But what people didn't expect was that this kind of strange talk came to Guo Shao's heart all at once.

Guo Shao repeatedly read this memorial several times, seeing the blood surging, and there is a kind of urge to try. For several days, his mood could not calm down.

There is an intuition that he is a very special person in this time and space, as if there is destiny in the sky. The question is how to prove that you can run the universe? This memorial made Guo Shao as pleased as having found a "theoretical basis."

However, Guo Shao is still calm, and the complex and chaotic reality is in front of him. It is too difficult to implement, at least not in a hurry. After thinking about it, the most important thing is to sit firmly on the throne, otherwise you won't be able to survive.

He has been tossing the Forbidden Army over the years, and the military system has also changed...The purpose is like Fu Yanqing's grandson's name, Shengwu! If Wu is not a rope, the rivers, mountains and flowing water seats of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are a living example.

Can the military system be used now?

Guo Shao wants to launch another war, first verify it... But the wealth accumulated by the treasury was quickly consumed in the previous wars, and the dragon army has not formed, and cannot go to sea to grab it; in order to maintain the current household Ministry revenues and expenditures are normal, and the scale of the war cannot be too large, otherwise the finances will collapse and face immediate urgency.

Li Chuyun's joke memorial was not refuted by the emperor.

The ministers seemed to smell a certain kind of breath. Wang Pu said that if he wants to revitalize his army, he should deal with Xiazhou first. He believes that Xiazhou party affairs are the biggest hidden danger outside of Liao.

All the six grandpas agreed. They don't care where the court is fighting, as long as there is a war!

The Hall of Yangde was again full of maps, and Guo Shao sat in front of a pile of maps when he had time. The drawing in the middle this time is not Youzhou, but the land of Xiazhou and other states.

There is more than one piece of land, these things will affect the whole body, Xiazhou party is attacked, I am afraid that it will immediately tie up with the Liao Kingdom! Guo Shao looked at Goryeo again. Goryeo sent an envoy last time to jointly take the old land of Bohai... But the sea route between Goryeo and Fusang was the nearest, and Fusang could grab money.

Guo Shao didn't dare to act rashly. He did a trivial matter first. He sent people to preach Wang Pu, and Bingcao Sijia sent me to the East China Sea, and promoted the Waguo branch to one of the important branches of Bingcao.
