What's more, even if you are caught, can you still give money? A big thing has turned into a trivial matter. If you really can't find a substitute, you can hide it, and maybe it will be over, right?

Zhuge Liang watched silently, with deep eyes.

The snow has melted to some extent now, and although the wind is not strong, it seems even colder.

This is just the end of October, and there are still November, December, and even late spring.

In the land of Guanzhong, just like this weird and cold climate, turbulence is surging, and even some inexplicable things are quietly brewing.

Zheng Xuan announced in a high-profile manner that those corrupt local officials were taking the name of Zheng Xue to smear the people, covet the people's money, and neglect local politics. He then said that as a disciple of Confucianism and to inherit the articles of benevolence and virtue, he must behave uprightly.

, not to be dazzled by the prosperity, not to be blinded by the smell of copper, and finally put forward the three points of Hussar...

For a moment, everyone was in an uproar.

On the surface, everyone praises it, but behind the scenes, only the person involved knows.

Ordinary people naturally applaud and praise, not because they really understand the harm of corruption to the court and the country. They just understand that less corruption will be more beneficial to their lives, and they will have to pay less taxes.

The various expenses are also low, so naturally I support and praise it.

Of course, the noblemen also praised him on the surface.

hehe……

The sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and a group of cavalry came here in a hurry.

Zhuge Liang turned his head slightly and saw a somewhat special figure in the queue.

After a while, Pang Tong wandered to Zhuge Liang's side, breathing heavily, "Haha... It's like a nest..."

"Moving around more will be good for your health..." Zhuge Liang glanced at Pang Tong and said, "My lord said so."

"..." Pang Tong blew his lips, like a war horse snorting, and seemed to mutter a few words, but it was unclear what he said.

After waiting for a while, Pang Tong's breath gradually calmed down. He walked around twice with his hands behind his back and his belly hunched, then came back, "What's so interesting about this tomb? What are you doing? We don't lack the money..."

Zhuge Liang snorted and then said: "There are some things I don't quite understand..."

"Hey..." Pang Tong chuckled twice and came to Zhuge Liang's side, "Tell me what you want to hear?" He just took out a small bench and held a small wine glass.

"Are you really confused about Xiaowu's witchcraft in Han Dynasty, or are you pretending to be confused?" Zhuge Liang looked at the big fight in front of him, and then looked at the small mound in the distance, "Is the Wei family really wronged, or is he pretending to be wronged?"

』

"Tsk..." Pang Tong jumped to the side like a deflated rubber ball, "It's boring, I thought it was something about you... Why do you think of this suddenly?"

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Corruption."

Pang Tong also fell silent. The two of them stared at Da Fu Dou with bright eyes. Then they didn't know whether Liu Che was sleeping peacefully or not...

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qin Dynasty, the Longyou area of ​​Guanzhong was all martial arts. Over the course of hundreds of years, this area may have experienced wars, but it also had strong and pragmatic folk customs. However, since the large-scale migration of people in the Han Dynasty,

With the continuous addition of sand, this place no longer advocates martial arts, but instead advocates scriptures.

This doesn't seem wrong.

After all, under the background of the great unification of the Han Dynasty, isn't it also the ruler's normal needs to make the people more peaceful, less energetic, obey management, and pay taxes honestly?

Of course, this change did not happen overnight. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, many people were still proud of going to the battlefield and valued their military exploits. What a pity. Those who started their careers with military exploits became the most prominent families in the dynasty. In the following years,

Just like a flash in the pan, it was destroyed, and all the families were killed, and the nine tribes were killed.

Zhuge Liang knows why this is, and even knows why the Hussars General is now trying to stamp out corruption...

Just like the moves on a chessboard, maybe at first glance they seem to be thrown randomly, but when the situation develops to a certain extent, you suddenly realize that it has already been arranged.

On the surface, the witchcraft disaster was caused by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty trusting Jiang Chong, and then Jiang Chong framed the prince. However, if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are many problems.

Jiang Chong was able to gain the trust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty because Jiang Chong first risked his life to go to the desert, and then after returning, he risked his life to recruit the powerful people at that time for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and monitor the tyranny of the powerful people. At that time, the noble relatives

Many of his ministers were extravagant and arrogant. Jiang Chong reported and impeached them one by one. He also petitioned to confiscate their carriages and horses and send them to the Northern Army Camp to stand by to fight against the Huns.

These nobles and relatives no longer had the bravery of their parents and ancestors, and only had the instinct of greed for life and fear of death. So they all went to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to cry and plead guilty, expressing their willingness to pay for atonement, and then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty agreed.

That year, the central government had tens of millions of dollars more for just this one item.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty laughed and laughed, and his relatives and ministers felt numb.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty played politics all his life, but when he was old, he was played back by the superiors and subordinates. It was not until he killed his son that he figured it out, but it was too late...

"So, have you figured it out now?" Pang Tong asked.

Zhuge Liang nodded, shook his head, and said, "I understand somewhat, but I still don't understand..."

Pang Tong exhaled, "Me too."

The two stood there for a moment, and Zhuge Liang took a few steps forward, looking for something in the ruins.

Pang Tong was curious and moved forward. He looked at Zhuge Liang and looked around, then looked at Zhuge Liang and picked up a stone from somewhere...

"What are you doing?" Pang Tong asked.

Zhuge Liang weighed the stone and looked around, "Take it back and have someone make an ink stone..."

"Oh?" Pang Tong pinched his fat chin, "Well, it's interesting... Then I'll find a piece too... How about you give me your piece first? Forget it, you'd better find it yourself... Where are you going?"
