If Song Shidao was a handsome and elegant young man before, now he shows a somewhat unusual aura. Although his demeanor is still calm and gentle, his eyes have become a little colder and sharper. , the whole person has quite the aura of looking forward to Zixiong.
Song Shidao said, neither humble nor arrogantly: "Song Shidao, the younger generation of the Song family, has met your Majesty."
He nodded casually and extended his hand to signal him to sit down.
Master Song thanked you, then he bowed his head and sat down, and said: "My father ordered Master to come here. Firstly, he is waiting for the emperor by your side, and secondly, he is to report to the emperor that the Song family's soldiers, horses, food and grass have been fully prepared. Why do you ask? At that time, we can go north to recover the mountains and rivers of our Han people."
He added some wine by himself, took a sip and said: "Huangcheng controls all the business and trade in the world, and is guarded by eighteen knights. No one dares to challenge Huangcheng's ideas. Your Song family has the help of Huangcheng, even if I don't do what I want, the Song family It is not difficult to seize the world and take back the Han people, so why should I tell you how to do it?"
This is absolutely true. Since the Jin Dynasty, Huangcheng has connected the north and the south. It can be said that merchants from all over the world have gathered in Huangcheng. All business and business can be settled in Huangcheng. If Huangcheng supports the Song family and still cannot win over the world, then it can only be said that the Song family is incompetent and cannot blame anyone.
Song Shidao suddenly regained his composure and said, "Shidao, I have a question. Please forgive me for being rude."
Ranran said calmly: "Ask."
Song Shidao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If the Song family really wins the world in the future, then how should our Song family treat Tianjun, how should we treat Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry, and how should we treat Huangcheng?"
Hearing his words, he was stunned for a moment, and then cast his admiring gaze over him: "You have indeed changed a lot."
Song Shidao bowed his hands and said calmly: "Please teach me."
Ran Ran took a sip of his drink and said slowly: "Zi Yi has always been a Jianghu person. Jianghu people don't care about the affairs of the court or the suffering of the people. Jianghu people only care about gratification and grudges. If it wasn't for me that I couldn't bear the humbleness of the Han people, it would be the same. I will not meddle in the world. I will take back the knife."
The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun can be passed down for more than two hundred years precisely because of the existence of the Miaoyun Sword; he has promised not to interfere in the world, let the court go, and the sword is taken back, there will no longer be anyone in the world who is not ruled by the emperor. The first city, the eighteen knights who threaten the imperial power, and the transcendent heavenly king.
Until this moment, Song Shidao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his forehead was inadvertently covered with cold sweat.
Ranran chuckled lightly and said, "It seems that your father wants to make you the crown prince."
Song Shidao smiled bitterly and said: "I am not afraid of your Majesty's jokes. Shidao just feels that the burden on him is heavy and miserable. If he has a choice, Song Shidao would rather be the Song Shidao he was before than the young master of the Song clan now."
Ranyi said calmly: "People are always forced by God, others, and the world. Even I am no exception. If God didn't want to kill me, I wouldn't be as arbitrary as I am now."
Song Shidao saluted and said: "Boy, you have learned a lesson!"
Ran Ran glanced at him and asked: "If you were a king, how would you avoid making the same mistakes again and not end up like Yang Guang?"
Song Shidao frowned and said: "Blessings and favors, light corvee and small gifts. Although Emperor Yang had lofty aspirations, he was eager for quick success and short-term gains. In order to achieve his far-reaching ambitions, he imposed tyranny, which made the people worse off and unable to survive."
Randomly smiled and said: "Doing good deeds and giving favors, but doing light corvee and receiving small gifts? It's easy to say, but how can you do it? Even if all the wealth in the deserted city goes into your treasury, there will be a day when the wealth will be exhausted."
Song Shidao opened his mouth, and finally asked for advice as a descendant: "Please teach me, young man."
Ranran sighed and asked, "If there are ten sons in a family, and all ten of them are working in the fields, and they are not richly endowed, do you think they will starve?"
Song Shidao shook his head and said: "They must be rich."
Ranran asked again: "What if only five of the ten sons support the family?"
Song Shidao pondered for a moment and then said: "If this is the case, Shidao still believes that they will not suffer from hunger. Even if they encounter a natural disaster, as long as the five sons are safe, I believe they can survive it."
Randomly asked again: "What would happen if only one of the ten sons worked? What if there were heavy taxes?"
Song Shidao frowned and was speechless for a moment.
Randomly said calmly: "This is exactly how it is in today's world. One person works and nine people sit back and enjoy."
Song Shidao hissed: "The world."
He nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, it's the world."
Song Shidao suddenly said in shock: "Your Majesty, do you mean to take action against the world?"
"I'm not the emperor," he said with a smile, "it's Song Que who should take action, it's you."
Song Shidao lowered his head and fell silent, seeming to be thinking about the pros and cons.
Ranran continued: "In fact, since the Shang Dynasty, royal power has always been in the hands of the family. The so-called king, emperor, and emperor are just figures who represent the interests of the family. Emperor Xin was a brave young man. He conquered Laiyi in the east and conquered Jiu in the south. Miao, expanded its territory to the East China Sea and the Yangtze River Basin, but its successive campaigns greatly consumed the national power and harmed the interests of the family. In the end, it was not only criticized by the princes, but also became infamous all over the world. "
Song Shidao was stunned, and after thinking carefully, he suddenly discovered that the end of the dynasties in the past dynasties could not be said to be all caused by the family, but the downfall of the dynasty all had the 'shadow' of the family.
Ran Yi said quietly: "The reasons why dynasties in the past were overthrown can be roughly divided into two points. The people have no way to live, and the family has no profit to fight for."
Song Shidao nodded and said: "What your Majesty said is true, but Shidao is afraid that taking action against the clans will lead to a situation like Qin destroying the Six Kingdoms and the clans of the Six Kingdoms resurrecting."
Randomly said: "All aristocratic families have private slaves, and private slaves are all private slaves. These private slaves are only used by the family, not the king or the people. Even if the world is in chaos now, the armies of the powerful families in various places are first composed of private slaves. "
Looking at him randomly, he asked: "Let me ask you, if your private slave of the Song family had to choose, would he choose to regain his freedom and become a subject of the emperor, or would he choose to be a slave in your Song family?"
Song Shidao smiled bitterly and said: "Although I am not them, I know that they will be willing to be slaves in my Song family rather than regain their freedom and become good citizens of the emperor!"
Ranran said calmly: "Why?"
Song Shidao responded: "Because living is better, good people are not as good as private slaves."
Randomly smiled and said: "If I take back the land of the family, deprive the family of food and towns, divide the land among good people, and reduce taxes and levies, will the private slaves be willing to become good people?"
Song Shidao shuddered and immediately understood the key. The family kept numerous private slaves in captivity, and the private slaves were hidden households, not subject to the control of the king, and did not need to be taxed. The saying that one son raises nine people means that the people not only support the family, but also the private slaves of the family. If the benefits of the family are distributed and their food is cut off, and the people all have good land and no heavy wealth, then How can a private slave not want to serve the people?
If a noble family has no slaves to use, can a noble family still be a noble family?
After everything came to light, Song Shidao immediately stood up, lowered his robe, knelt down and performed the nine-kowtow ceremony: "Shidao thanks you for your teachings, and on behalf of all the people in the world, I want to thank you for your kindness."
Xuanyi shook his head and said: "Yiyi is a self-centered, selfish, and self-interested person. I am telling you this just because I don't want you, Master Song, to be inferior to Li Shimin. If the Song family can't compare with Li Tang, won't I be embarrassed?"
Song Shidao still didn't stand up, he knelt down and clasped his fists and said: "Song Shidao swears this, if I become king in the future, I will pray for the blessings of all the people, dedicate myself to the country, seek benefits for the people, and do my best for the country and the country of the Han people, and for the foundation of the ancestors of the Han people. Full strength!"
Ran Ran smiled lightly and said: "Who can't speak if she is not a mute and has no oral problems? You, the Song family, just take care of yourself. Don't let me regret today's decision in the future."
Song Shidao said in a deep voice: "The Song family will definitely live up to Heavenly Lord's high expectations!"
