Chu Qing didn't know how to tell Huang Laosi, and even if he did, Laosi might not understand.
He felt that ancient people did not understand and did not understand his own concept of love.
There is no denying that Tao Ruolin is a monster, and she may be even more monster than she imagined.
But what about monsters? Aren't monsters still women? They are mental monsters, not just like monsters in appearance.
If he wanted to, Chu Qing could marry three wives and four concubines now, and act like an uncle every night. Someone would serve tea, someone would wash his feet, someone would make the bed, and someone would feed him.
But everyone does this, including family members and courtiers. Women are just tools, tools for exchange of interests, tools for reproduction, and have no other role.
Chu Qing felt that this was very boring. The two of them, leaning on each other and supporting each other, slowly grew old, and experienced dull or magnificent things together. As the years went by, as time went by, parents would grow old and leave, and the children would They will grow up, form new families, and they will also leave, and the only one who can accompany him to the end of his life is his wife.
Laugh together, be noisy together, be noisy together, be happy and sad together, and grow old together.
If the only person who accompanies him is one or a group of "tools", Chu Qing would rather be single until death and die alone.
"Let me tell you this, three wives and four concubines were brought into the family, but there was no communication. They went out to work hard on their own. There were intrigues in the court, swords and swords in the capital. When they returned to the house, they ignored them, and I didn't care. Say, are you satisfied?"
Huang Laosi shook his head, not quite understanding what Chu Qing meant.
Chu Qing looked at Fu San, eager to get a sense of recognition.
"Master, I seem to understand what you said."
Chu Qing's eyes shone: "I know you understand me."
"Just like the Liangrong nobles in Beibianguan, in winter, they walked out of their tents, rode horses, braved the wind and snow, wielded machetes, and fought with the sky, people, and wolves, but the old women in the tents didn't use anything. No matter what, as soon as you lie down on the bed and spread your legs, you will be fed, drank and taken care of. How can there be such a reason in the world? Is this fair?"
After a pause, Fu San chuckled: "I think this is fair!"
"Third brother, we are not talking about the same thing, okay." Chu Qing was extremely helpless: "I am talking about the interesting soul, communication, and the relationship in which both parties are equal and help each other in adversity, including three views, do you understand. "
Fu San shook his head: "I don't understand, who is San Guan?"
"Forget it, stop talking. When you understand, you will know why I want to marry Tao Ruolin."
Huang Laosi drank a glass of wine and looked like he was gloating: "Bish your own luck."
Chu Qing was too lazy to respond.
I can't say that I am confident about getting Tao Ruolin, at least half and half.
Because Chu Qing knew very well that he did not need to be better than Tao Ruolin, he only needed to be better than the man who appeared next to Tao Ruolin. If someone better than him appeared, he would not be afraid. After all, he was the deputy commander of Qianqi Camp.
"Let's talk about official affairs with brother Wei." Huang Laosi was very interested and said seriously: "The country has many ills. If we have money and food, at least 70% of these ills can be solved. Tell me about it in detail. .”
"It's not an official road, it's a road. It's about transportation, about exchanges, and about the loss and reduction of losses that the old man who rowed the boat said when he just came here. Do you understand?"
Huang Laosi seemed to understand: "How to do it?"
"The first step is money."
"If I had money, what else would I tell you?"
"Yeah, what can I say if I don't have money?"
Huang Laosi lowered his head and thought.
He didn't understand what Chu Qing said.
He knows the value of roads better than anyone else. From a general's point of view, soldiers are valuable and speed is important. Official roads are well cultivated and cultivated a lot. Wherever there is rebellion and where troops need to be sent, it is enough to gallop over with horses and whips raised. But from a From the emperor's point of view, the more official channels there are, the faster and more timely the goods can be transported, and the faster the materials needed by each channel or in the capital will move.
Gritting his teeth, Huang Laosi asked: "How much food do we need?"
Chu Qing laughed dumbly: "Your question is too general, and road construction is not something that happens overnight. It is a process, and the benefits will not be seen in a short time. But if you ask me, we should start in the capital first."
"The capital?" Huang Laosi was puzzled: "The capital is connected in all directions, why do we need to build another official road?"
"Build roads, build roads, build roads. Do you understand? It's not official. There's something you may not know. At the four gates of the capital, at 9 o'clock every morning, people who come to the capital have to queue for at least half an hour to enter the city. This is spring, if it is the rainy season, or if it rains in winter, the road may be muddy for more than an hour. Do you know what this concept represents?"
Huang Laosi lowered his head and thought for a long time, then nodded slightly: "You mean, if the four gates are crowded, we should not leave the gate behind?"
"Yes, no, alas, people only go to work for five or six hours a day. If you delay one hour, it is equivalent to wasting an hour of labor force. It doesn't matter if you have one person, it doesn't matter if you have a hundred people, but it doesn't matter if you have a thousand people. As for ten thousand people, you know how much value these ten thousand people can create in one hour. Besides, there is one thing I have never been able to figure out."
Chu Qing frowned and asked: "What's the point of closing the four gates when they arrive and opening them again when they arrive? If foreign enemies can really attack the capital, what difference does it make if these four gates are closed or not? Besides, the imperial court is far behind." After realizing it, foreign enemies are about to attack the capital and we don’t know yet. If we take ten thousand steps back, even if an attack comes, wouldn’t it be enough to close the door in advance?”
Huang Laosi smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with this. Changjing is at the foot of the emperor. If you don't leave the gate, then all kinds of ghosts and snakes can sneak into the capital. Furthermore, the people are crowded, and the court doesn't know about it. But entering the city requires inspection, and there is no inspection." , what if you secretly hide knives and strong bows, transport them to the capital, accumulate a few, and cause trouble, with disastrous consequences."
"So, the road needs to be built!" Chu Qing snapped his fingers: "The road into the fourth gate should be extended, and roadblocks should be set up along the way to widen the road. The imperial court has invested some manpower to conduct inspections, but not at any one place. "
"It's a good idea, but it's against etiquette. Besides, it's just talk on paper now. How to handle it is not a simple matter."
At this point, Huang Laosi's face fell again: "After all, I still have no money."
"If you don't have money, just find a way to make money. Besides, if you're in the capital, it won't cost much. Zhang Songling, Zhou Youwei, and Li Wenli, aren't they all barbies? They ransacked their homes. Although I don't know how much money these three bastards have. , but if it’s just to build roads and confiscate their homes, the money will definitely be enough.”
Huang Laosi smiled bitterly: "Brother, how can you not know what you said? It's just that most of the courtiers' names are shops and land. Aren't you still holding the post of Chief of Department in the Ministry of Household Affairs? You will go to the Yamen Office of the Ministry of Household Affairs tomorrow. A casual inquiry will tell you which courtiers have been imprisoned in the past. Even if their homes were ransacked, twenty to thirty thousand guan would be enough."
"Isn't it possible? The court minister only has these few cents?"
"How much do you think it will be? Twenty to thirty thousand guan, sometimes including land."
Chu Qing's eyes changed, looking at Huang Laosi as he looked at Fu San half a year ago.
