Li Huaiyun looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then said softly, "The Great Zhou Dynasty seems to be peaceful and peaceful, but this is just an appearance!"
"That's not what's going on inside!"
The old man asked with great interest, thinking that this man looked very knowledgeable, "Inside? Please tell me carefully, what's going on?"
"It's very simple. Throughout history, people in every dynasty actually lived a poor life. Those in power thought they had done a lot for the people, but why are there still so many people living a life of hunger?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
"My aunt is a doctor at a medical clinic. She has been in contact with many people and understands their situation very well."
The old man still didn't believe it, "That doesn't mean everything. Besides, it's not like the court didn't do anything."
"In fact, over so many dynasties, very few people in power have been able to consider the people at the bottom of society, and this is definitely not something that can be solved by simply reducing taxes, renting less land, etc. and a series of measures!"
"The farmers at the bottom of the Zhou Dynasty do not have their own land, and they have to pay taxes and turn in grain. This means that they just have to eat a meal every day. Think about it, is this so-called peace of the country and the people of the country real?"
The old man's face became obviously gloomy, and he obviously had nothing to say about it.
Li Huaiyun glanced at the dazed old man and said, "You may live in the palace and don't know much about the outside world. Look at the rich meals in the palace, but not a lot of them are eaten. The waste caused by this is not good for the poor. It’s simply unimaginable.”
A look of admiration appeared on the old man's face. He didn't expect to meet a young man with such insight here, "What you said makes sense!"
"Actually, these principles are useless, and some people know it in their hearts!" Li Huaiyun said, "Why I am saying it here is because I want to tell you that the foundation of Dazhou is not as solid as imagined, and I want to bring down Dazhou. , you can completely start from the inside and disintegrate!"
"collapse?"
"Yes! As long as it is used by someone with intentions, Da Zhou will suffer internal and external troubles!"
The old man asked hurriedly, "I wonder if you have any way to deal with it."
Li Huaiyun pondered for a moment and then said, "Throughout the ages, the most important thing to ensure the interests of farmers is land reform!"
"Land reform?"
Li Huaiyun nodded, "Yes! The reform measure is to let the common people own land and let them grow their own food. Part of it belongs to themselves. Only in this way can they live a better life."
He actually knew very well that it was impossible to carry out such a reform under an institutional background like the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty was very similar to the dynasties he was familiar with. Unless there were capable people with iron fists who could implement such reform policies, and he was so In other words, it is just a vision.
When the old man heard this, he was still a little touched in his heart. However, at this point, he felt that this young man still thought too simply. He also felt that it was because this young man had not been exposed to this era.
"Young man, your idea is indeed from the bottom. However, if you think about it conversely, it will be very difficult to implement this idea because it will touch the immediate interests of some people!"
"And once implemented, there will definitely be strong opposition, and even for you, the person who proposed this reform, your life is likely to be in danger,"
"Reform without bloodshed will never succeed."
“That makes sense!” The old man thought for a moment, “However, land reform did not happen overnight.
Although the internal situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty is now stable, several borders are often attacked by monsters. In addition to natural and man-made disasters in recent years, food problems have also emerged. Risky implementation of reforms will inevitably aggravate the instability of the regime. "
When Li Huaiyun heard these words, he looked at the old man who was cleaning the table in a different light. He didn't expect that he had such a vision. "Hey! You are a very old man and you are still doing these groceries in the palace. I didn't expect that you are quite analytical." capable."
The old man raised his head slightly confidently, "It goes without saying that living for so many years is not in vain. However, your understanding and suggestions are also very unique, but it is too difficult to implement!"
He picked up the cloth to clean the table, cleaned it briefly, and then said respectfully, "Okay, the table has been wiped. If I have something else to do, just wait here for the princess!"
Something's wrong? Cleaning tables elsewhere? Li Huaiyun stretched out his hand to say hello, and then sat there with a contented look on his face, enjoying the heroic spirit of pointing out the country just now.
The old man's back gradually faded away.
At this moment, Mu Yuan walked out of the inner hall of the imperial dining room, followed by an old man in plain clothes. The man was holding a coarse cloth for wiping the table.
She looked around, looking a little nervous. When she saw no one was around, she walked directly to where Li Huaiyun was sitting.
Li Huaiyun saw Mu Yuan coming out of it, and there was an old man behind him, dressed up and holding something, which made him feel very strange.
Mu Yuan walked up and saw the things that had been cleared away on the table, "What's going on? Someone came here to clean it up?"
"Ah!" Li Huaiyun was stunned. He never thought that what Mu Yuan brought was the servant who wiped the table.
"How could it be?" Li Huaiyun shook his head, puzzled, "Didn't someone just come and wipe it?"
"who?"
"Just an old man with a rag in his hand?"
Mu Yuan turned around and asked the servant who was cleaning the table. The man said that he was the only one there at this time and there was no one else.
"Who...who is that guy?" Li Huaiyun was a little confused. He even asked him to clean the table and said so many words.
Mu Yuan asked, "Are you fainting from hunger?"
Li Huaiyun patted his forehead and said helplessly, "Probably!"
"I've asked the chef in the imperial dining room to make lunch. It should be served soon!"
After the man spent some time clearing the table, someone soon brought the food to the table. Li Huaiyun, who had been hungry for a while, immediately started eating.
"What were you doing just now? I was behind you and heard your voice, which was quite loud."
"Nothing, just sharing my experience with others!" Li Huaiyun said.
"Ah! My thoughts, who are you following?"
"A person I don't know is the person who was cleaning the table just now."
Mu Yuan was a little curious, "Then what are you talking about?"
"How to manage Dazhou well!"
Mu Yuan responded with some disdain, "Is this your business? You are not a monster hunter, as long as you are responsible for catching monsters!"
"Of course that won't work. As a man, you must have a high level of political consciousness and you shouldn't just rely on your fists."
"Hmph!" Mu Yuan looked at him with a surprised expression, "I really didn't expect that you actually understand this."
"There are many things you can't think of!"
Before Li Huaiyun could continue, Mu Yuan immediately interrupted, "Eat quickly, we have to leave early,"
"What's wrong?"
"I heard from people inside that the Hunjun may have come near here! I don't know when,"
ah! Li Huaiyun was very surprised by this, "What do you mean? The emperor is here?"
"Yes!"
"What are you doing here?"
Mu Yuan shook her head, "How do I know this? I don't see him a few times a year. Whenever we meet, we break up on bad terms."
"You two are destined to conflict with each other! This time I believe in those fortune tellers."
Mu Yuan glanced at him, and then said loudly, "The people from Dali Temple should already be at Qihua Palace. We can just go and see what special opinions they have."
"Um!"
After they finished lunch, they drove a carriage to Qihua Palace.
At this time, there were already fully armed guards guarding the palace gate.
Mu Yuan walked up, and when the guards saw it was the Fourteenth Princess, they let her go directly. They entered the palace. At this time, Uncle Long was standing next to the locust tree.
The person sent by Dali Temple this time was Dali Temple Shaoqing Yan Zheng, a man in his forties with a mustache and sharp eyes. He was leading his men to investigate the condition of the corpse.
When he heard someone coming in, he looked there. He had a vague idea of the purpose of the Fourteenth Princess' return, but he was not sure who the man beside him was.
However, he had heard in the past two days that this man was from the Demon Slaying Department. Before coming to the palace, he had solved several cases of monsters causing trouble, and he had proved his innocence in a special way.
This guy cut open the body and discovered the problem. Is he really not afraid of retribution?
Yan is quite prestigious in Dali Temple. He has solved many unsolved cases and made many people guilty. Therefore, he despises Li Huaiyun's method and believes that it is a kind of contempt for the dead.
Li Huaiyun stood behind Mu Yuan, "Can this person do it?"
Mu Yuan explained, "That guy is Yan Zheng, the young minister of Dali Temple, and has solved many cases! He can catch the murderer without dissecting the body."
Li Huaiyun didn't care about this. As long as he could solve the case, it didn't matter what method he used! "But once a monster is involved in this case, I'm afraid there's nothing he can do!"
"Probably!" Mu Yuan responded.
They walked to the locust tree. Except for Uncle Long, everyone else saluted Mu Yuan, "Princess!"
"What did you find?"
Yan Zheng stepped forward and said, "My subordinates are investigating. Judging from the degree of decomposition of the body, the time of death should be about ten days. The blood in the body of the deceased has dried up. At the same time, a jade object was found on his body. "
Jade! When Li Huaiyun heard this, he immediately leaned over and said, "Is this jade like the fingers and the carvings like the dead branches?"
Yan Zheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to take out the problematic thing inside. What he didn't expect was that it was almost the same as what the man described. He frowned, "Who are you! Why did you know that there was something like this on the body?" Planting a jade carving? Could it be that you have checked the body before?"
Li Huaiyun cupped his fists and saluted, "I am Li Huaiyun, a D-level demon hunter from the Demon Slaying Department. I know about the jade sculpture because I have dealt with several cases of demons causing trouble before."
"It turns out that you are just the lowest level monster hunter. I'm afraid the cases you handle will not be difficult for you!"
"What Yan Shaoqing said is absolutely true. I just took a look at the jade sculpture to see if it is any different from the previous cases."
Li Huaiyun said, "If so, please leave the case to me. Ordinary people cannot handle this kind of case!"
