Qiming 1158

Chapter 989 The problem lies in whether it can be accepted
On the way, Lu You was on the land of the Ming Kingdom and followed the road in the carriage of the Ming Kingdom.

They soon arrived in Oze Township, Miyun County, and arrived at the destination of their trip.

This is the place designated by Yu Yunwen. Yu Yunwen believes that it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to know where he wants to come, and there is no way to prepare everything in advance. If they can really prepare everything in advance, it is better to let these farmers live a better life. The day is over.

If you do a face project for such an uncertain thing, it is really worth the loss.

Therefore, Yu Yunwen felt that what he saw now must be the most real Ming country countryside.

Anything that Wang Qi has concealed before will be clearly exposed here, and any tragic situation in the countryside of the Ming Dynasty will be exposed.

And this is also the redemption for Lu You.

Some time ago, Yu Yunwen was keenly aware that Lu You seemed to have an inexplicable affection for everything in the Ming Kingdom.

This is not what he claimed to be [inquiring about the intelligence of the Ming Kingdom], but if he was just inquiring about the intelligence, he did not need to have the conversation that night, but Lu You still did it.

Yu Yunwen suspected that after reading Hongwu's political theory, Lu You had already developed a special sense of some things in the Ming Kingdom, and his thoughts were undergoing some dangerous changes.

If this kind of change is only limited to some losers, Yu Yunwen doesn't care.

Yu Yunwen doesn't care what those losers who are muddy or fail to pass the imperial examination think, they can't master the army anyway, no matter how they think, they will be suppressed by the winners in life who master the army.

But if Lu You, who is also a winner in life, is also bewitched by this kind of thinking, then it will be dangerous for the Southern Song Dynasty.

If there is the first Lu You, there will be the second, and then there will be the third and the fourth, which will be very dangerous, so this possibility must be eliminated at the source.

The way Yu Yunwen thought of was to pierce all the cover-ups of the Ming Kingdom face to face, and tore open the hypocritical mask of the Ming Kingdom. In this way, Lu You could be enlightened and return to the right path.

How could such a country that has completely abandoned Confucian ideals be better?
However, Yu Yunwen didn't see what he wanted to see.

In the village of Ozawa Township, he saw the fertile fields that are about to be harvested in the golden autumn season, the golden waves of wheat, and the farmers working hard in the fields.

He saw the smiles on the faces of these farmers when they harvested a lot, and the hard work of the farmers waving their farm tools and sweating.

He saw the way they were sitting beside the land chatting and laughing in twos and threes between work, and the warmth of the women bringing their children to the farmland to deliver meals to the men at home.

Those peasants were all clothed, and they were not naked.

As far as I can see, the peasants' clothes are not gorgeous, and even a little dirty. The men are working in the fields with their upper bodies naked, which looks very indecent.

But they were clearly laughing.

They were laughing while they were reaping a sheaf of wheat and stood up, holding a sheaf of wheat in their arms.

They wiped the sweat from their faces, wiped their faces with a towel, and then they smiled too.

There was a satisfied smile on his face as he ate a big mouthful.

Many things can be faked, but a smile from the heart cannot be faked.

This point, Yu Yunwen, who has been ups and downs in the Huanhai for decades and has seen countless people, can guarantee it with a pat on the chest.

Not everyone can laugh like the real thing.

At least he would never believe that this group of idiots who don't know a lot of characters can master such exquisite acting skills.

They don't need the opportunity to use this kind of acting skills, and naturally there is no need to master acting skills.

So is this true?

That relaxed, unhurried vibe can't be faked either.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, Yu Yunwen became an official in many places. He saw how many farmers in the rural areas of the Southern Song Dynasty struggled to survive. That special atmosphere mixed with resentment, pain, self-pity and despair, and the atmosphere I feel today. completely different.

They are laughing!
lol!

Scenes can be faked, but how can this smile and atmosphere be faked?
So this is also true?

If it's all true, then...

I was wrong?
Yu Yunwen was stunned and stood motionless beside the golden wheat wave, like a sculpture.

Lu You and Wang Qi didn't care about Yu Yunwen, who was stunned and motionless. Seeing the golden wheat wave and the harvest scene, Lu You was very happy.

"Although there are scenes of such a bumper harvest in the Song Dynasty, there are often not so many smiling farmers."

"Of course, because in the Southern Dynasty, these harvests of grain often did not belong to the farmers."

Wang Qi stood beside Lu You and said with a smile: "I've heard that the rent and taxes of tenant farmers in the Southern Dynasty are often very high, and most of them are not their own, but the owner's family, and the number of tenant farmers in the Southern Dynasty is very large. I am afraid it is the scene of harvesting grain under the supervision of the Lord's family.

Farmers know that the harvested grain will not belong to them, and how much they can get depends on whether the host family has shown kindness, and if they show kindness, they can get more according to the contract. What is it? "

Lu You was silent for a while, with a heavy heart.

"Master Wang, is all this true?"

Wang Qi was also silent for a while.

"If you still don't want to believe it, you'll never believe it's true. Deputy Ambassador Lu, don't ask me if it's true or not. You know it clearly in your own heart."

After Lu You heard this, he lowered his head and remained silent.

Yes, he knows, he knows it all.

The voice in his heart was telling him that it was all true.

But there was another voice in his head telling him not to believe it, even if it was true.

Lu You can already be [-]% sure that what is written in "Hongwu Political Theory" and what the grassroots of the Ming Dynasty saw are all true.

Ming's grassroots line and Su Yonglin's heart for the people are all true.

The Ming Kingdom is embarking on a path that is completely different from the Confucian concept of governing the country, and it is developing at a high speed, becoming stronger and stronger, and is transcending all his cognitions.

There is no doubt about that.

It's just the kind of education he's had, that kind of exclusive education that's preventing him from accepting that fact.

Yes, he didn't doubt that it was all true, but he was still suffering.

A solid ideological line of defense built by his childhood education is being tormented by the pain of a powerful attack.

Whether it is true or not is no longer an issue.

The question is whether it can be accepted.

Lu You took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and let his emotions gradually calm down.

"Master Wang, let's go inside. I want to see how the peasant association works."

"can."

Wang Qi nodded and was about to take Lu You to the village to visit the peasant association.
