A brief introduction to the review of Han Jiang's General Service Law and Young Crops Law and the problems exposed during the practice took almost a quarter of an hour.

After listening to this, the two palaces looked at each other, their heads feeling a little buzzing.

Obviously, they have not fully understood what Han Jiang said.

We can't blame them.

They don't know what suffering is in this life.

As far as Empress Dowager Yi Tai is concerned, the most difficult time in her life was probably when she had just married Yingmiao and was working as the training wife of the Thirteenth Regiment in the small courtyard of Prince Pu's residence.

And what were the living conditions like when Yingmiao was a regimental envoy?

In Zhao Xu's previous life, he was asked by the officials around him to read "The Precepts of the Three Dynasties".

I saw a story from the Three Dynasties Sermons.

When Yingmiao was in the domain, one time when he went to court, a rhinoceros belt worth 300,000 yuan was lost due to the carelessness of the attendants in the palace.

The waiter apologized, but Yingmiao did not blame him, but comforted and encouraged him.

The original intention of this story is to teach Zhao Xu to be a generous and loving king.

However, he accidentally exposed Renmiao's living standard when he was at the feudal residence.

A rhinoceros belt is worth 300,000 yuan.

Then, the total number of clothes he wears is worth at least a thousand guan.

Therefore, it is a dream to expect a woman like Lianggong, who has lived in a palace all year round, to understand and feel the hardship and hardship of ordinary people's lives.

On this point, Zhao Xu has the right to speak.

Because his previous life was essentially the same.

Fortunately, he studied abroad in Modern Times for ten years, which completely made up for this shortcoming.

During those ten years in the modern era, although he spent most of his time in a comfortable ivory tower.

But in the end, his identity became an ordinary person.

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea began to surround him, forcing him to come into contact and face it.

So, while the two palaces were still confused, Zhao Xu began to take the initiative.

He sighed with emotion: "No wonder Huang Kao often taught me that the shortcomings of the Five Dynasties were deeply rooted, and the disasters of the late Tang Dynasty continue to this day!"

"I didn't understand it in the past, but now, after listening to Xianggong's words, I know that the emperor's holy teachings have been punished by whipping!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu looked at each other and immediately bowed their heads deeply.

The two palaces in the curtain were even more confused.

How did the labor method and the young crop method become the disadvantages of the late Tang and Five Dynasties?

what's the situation?

Therefore, the Empress Dowager asked: "In the official family, how can this war method and the Qingmiao method be related to the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties?"

It was clearly invented by Wang Anshi and was a disaster to the country and the people.

How come there is contact with the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, which are beyond reach?

Empress Dowager Xiang was sitting there, deep in thought, remembering the allusions to her father and brother about the country and dynasty that they had told her when they were in the boudoir.

Zhao Xu turned around, lowered his head, and replied: "I'd like to inform my mother-in-law, it's a long story..."

"Based on what Sun Chen knows from the Sutra Banquet and what he gets from reading in the East Pavilion on weekdays..."

"In general, we have to start with the appointment of Yang Yan by Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, and the change of renting and mediocrity into the Two Taxes Law."

As he spoke, Zhao Xu used brief language to introduce the history of the Empress Dowager.

Naturally, the bloody process in this process is skipped, and the hard work of countless people is also omitted.

I just briefly introduced the experience of successive dynasties that after the Two Taxes Act, in order to make money, have continuously increased the burden on the people and sucked out the marrow.

So, the final result is: ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes.

Including the current exemption law, it is actually a tax increase to some extent.

As a result, the burden on the people after the mid-Tang Dynasty increased several times out of thin air.

After Zhao Xu finished the introduction, he said to the two palaces: "Therefore, the emperor has taught me many times since the founding of our country in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and the whole world has suffered from this."

This is exactly the reason why the Song Dynasty gives many people a hard time.

Because the Song Dynasty was not a new dynasty established by smashing the old dynasty like the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The Song Dynasty grew out of the remains of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties.

It seems that the founding of the country was only a hundred and thirty years ago, which seems very young for a dynasty.

But in fact, many organs of the Song Dynasty are already two to three hundred years old.

They are just like the jade chariot that Zhao Xu rode on when he went to Jingling Palace to worship his ancestors. They look bright and beautiful on the outside, but in fact they have long been decayed and corroded on the inside.

If you walk a little faster, there will be a crunching sound.

Maybe one day it might fall apart on the spot.

After hearing this, the two palaces looked at each other.

Even the Queen Mother, this is the first time she has heard such an argument.

The two prime ministers in the palace had already held the talisman and bowed again: "The late emperor has seen thousands of miles, and your majesty left you with wisdom, and I will congratulate the world."

In my heart, the shock of these two prime ministers is indescribable.

Although, they have long been accustomed to and accepted the maturity and wisdom of today's young people.

I have almost accepted the setting that "the late emperor gave many private teachings and exhorted the present".

Because many things cannot be explained if we do not accept these settings.

But at this moment, they were still shocked.

In the past when the late Emperor was in the palace, would he even break down such a thing and tell it to today?

Does he have so much time?

The two prime ministers looked at each other, then looked away.

Because they already know the answer - if the late emperor had been around, he would have been as mature and wise as he is now.

Then the late emperor would definitely devote most of his energy to teaching this eldest son.

Especially when the late emperor felt unwell seven years after Yuanfeng and began to make arrangements for his funeral.

He will definitely spare most of his time to train his successor.

Think about it carefully!

Before the late emperor passed away, he had already moved into Qingning Palace and lived there for almost half a year.

Outside Qingning Palace, the late emperor used all his confidants and minions.

In Qingning Palace, the selection is even more careful.

This shows that the late emperor attached great importance to today!

So, I am afraid that this person has long been committed to revitalizing the career of his father's generation, right?

When Lu Gongzhu thought of this, he felt somewhat bitter in his heart.

He began to worry about the future after Han Jiang and Zhang Dun came to power.

"Sima Junshi's worries are not unreasonable." He sighed in his heart.

…

The two palaces inside the curtain are still buzzing in my head.

It took them a lot of effort to finally digest the new knowledge points they learned today.

From the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties and then to the Song Dynasty, from the two tax laws to miscellaneous labor, force labor and sex labor.

People around them would not tell them these things, and even if the ministers did tell them, they would just brush them off.

Now that I suddenly know it, I am naturally upset, and some don’t want to get involved in this mess.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager asked tentatively: "Officials, the law has been changed over and over again, but it is always unsatisfactory. Why not restore the old system of Renmiao Jiayou?"

Zhao Xu hasn't answered yet.

Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu had already stepped forward with their hands in hand: "Your Majesty, you can't do that!"

"Why?" The Empress Dowager was not very happy: "Restoring the old system of Jiayou will only cause first- and second-class households to suffer some losses."

"It's not like now, the states and counties all over the world are in a state of chaos, and the people are in dire straits!"

Renmiao Jiayou's system has a very high status in her heart.

The two prime ministers paid their respects again, and Han Jiang added: "I told the Empress Dowager that Jiayou's military service was actually difficult to maintain during the time of Jiayou!"
To be continued...
