Chapter 639 Are You So Happy?

Father Xie looked at Shen Liuzhen and said helplessly:

"I wanted to tell you at the time, and I mentioned you to the governor of the military town, but they said that you were in the Song Dynasty, and you reported a Wei Guo spy, and you have become a traitor..."

Shen Liuzhen froze for a moment, his eyes flickered, and then he remembered that it probably happened when Yishan was arrested.

He was silent for a while, lowered his eyebrows and said guiltily:

"Teacher, I'm sorry, it's because I didn't think carefully that I hurt you."

Father Xie gave a disapproving "Hey~" and said:

"How can this be blamed on you? People are humans, not gods, so they can't think about everything. Besides, this tax chaos has been going on for a long time, and it's not your fault. Our family has already been affected because of you. A lot is gone, don’t blame yourself.”

The two of them were sitting in the back hall of the yamen at this time, there was no one around, and it was very quiet, but Father Xie still leaned forward, approached Shen Liuzhen, and asked mysteriously:
"Has the emperor thought about reforming the taxation? How many years have passed, and it can't be like they robbed on the grassland. They are Xianbei nobles, and they will scrape a layer after a trip. For these years, Han people everywhere have rebelled. Things are happening one after another, so the emperor didn't think about doing something to stabilize his imperial power?"

Shen Liuzhen replied:
"He thought about it. He couldn't afford the money and food during the war last year. It was my idea to borrow food and grass from the Xianbei nobles. He later said that he would find a way to reform the tax system to fill the treasury. But you know... Wei Guo is counting on The Xianbei nobles are fighting everywhere to guard the country. If they take away their right to collect money, they will offend all the Xianbei nobles. At that time, I am afraid that His Majesty will be knocked down from the throne by his own people..."

Shen Liuzhen paused, and Father Xie also fell silent.

After a while, the two sighed one after another, both feeling that it was difficult. Shen Liuzhen said:
"Your Majesty has great ambitions. He not only wants to reform taxes, he also wants to promote the equality and peaceful coexistence of Hu and Han. But the ideal is good, but it is impossible to implement it... We have been worrying for several years..."

Father Xie heard that he had put his sleeves on, and said with emotion:
"It's not easy. As a Xianbei, he still wants to promote the equality of Hu and Han. This kind of mind has surpassed many emperors. However, the conflict between Hu and Han has been going on for a long time. How can it be said that he is equal... Throughout In history, there is no such chaos as now, even a..."

Father Xie originally wanted to say that there was not even a precedent for reference, but he stopped talking suddenly, and said to Shen Liuzhen as if discussing:
"Do you think that the example of Qin Shihuang's unification of the six countries and the same track of books and text cars can be used in the fusion of Hu and Han and peaceful coexistence? Although it is said that the six countries in the Warring States period were of the same species, there was no hatred between the countries. Not less than now. And their languages ​​are also different... If, at this stage, there is no way to start, why not, first try to start with these trivial details that do not harm the overall situation?"

Shen Liuzhen was stunned when he heard it, and then fell into thinking. After a while, he murmured:
"That's right... If it's just these reforms that don't involve specific interests, they won't arouse their strong resistance. Besides, once concepts are deeply rooted in people's hearts, it is difficult to change. These things seem to be nothing, but they have far-reaching effects. , This is also why since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Han people in the land of China have considered themselves to be a family, and they should be united..."

The more Shen Liuzhen spoke, the more excited he seemed to have found a bright future. He left his seat and walked around, his wide sleeves swaying with his movements, and his demeanor was quite reckless.

Suddenly, he stopped, turned around and looked at Father Xie, his sparkling eyes were full of joy, he raised his arms solemnly, bowed to Father Xie, and said:

"Thank you teacher for the pointer!"

Seeing him like this, Father Xie was also quite happy. He stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"It seems that the old man can still be useful, as long as you young people think it is useful."

Shen Liuzhen excitedly said in a melodious tone:

"Teacher is too modest. You are truly a great talent in the world. If one day Hu and Han coexist peacefully, future generations will thank you, oh yes... thank you also to Emperor Shihuang!"

His praise was sincere, but he was a little embarrassed to praise Father Xie.

Shen Liuzhen didn't realize it, he was just immersed in the joy of finally having a place to start, and murmured:
"I have to go back and discuss this matter with Wu Lei quickly... Teacher, I will go back to Pingcheng with A Yuan tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned around and left, raised his foot and crossed the threshold, and after a while there was only one figure left.

Father Xie's eyes widened, and he shouted at his back:

"Why are you in a hurry? Wouldn't it be better to stay at home with Xie Yuan for a few more days?!"

But Shen Liuzhen had already gone far away, without a trace.

Father Xie withdrew his hand desolately, sighed after a while, and muttered to himself:

"Maybe it's getting older, and I can't stand loneliness anymore... I just want my children to look at me more at home. But after all, children are old and promising, so how can they be by my side..."

……

……

Angrily, Shen Liuzhen went to find Father Xie for a theory, and when he came back he was in high spirits, for a moment he had forgotten why he went to find Father Xie.

It wasn't until he found Xie Yuan excitedly and saw the children who were about to leave school that he remembered what was going on.

When the children met him, they greeted him politely, greeted him and prepared to leave.

Shen Liuzhen grabbed the child in red and asked:

"Is Master Xie good at archery? How is it better than your father?"

The child pursed his lips, looked up at Shen Liuzhen stubbornly, and said reluctantly after a while:

"My father has guards to protect him, but he doesn't know it himself."

Shen Liuzhen said directly: "Don't worry about it so much, I'll just ask if it's your father who is stronger, or Master Xie who is stronger?"

Although the kid in red was reluctant, he had to admit, honestly:

"Thank you, Master Qiang."

After hearing this, Shen Liuzhen finally calmed down, and said like dropping beans in one breath:

"Your father is a man, Master Xie is a woman, and Master Xie is stronger than your father, then it means that your father said: Men must be stronger than women is farting! In the future, judge people in different ways. Strong is strong, and weak is weak. So that you don’t lose your eyes because you don’t know right and wrong. Go back and teach your father this sentence, and say that Shen Shizhong, who is beside the emperor, said it, let’s go.”

After finishing speaking, he unceremoniously pawed him and told him to leave quickly, with all the disgust on his face.

Xie Yuan was packing up his bow and arrows and putting them on the weapon rack.As soon as he turned his head and saw Shen Liuzhen's move, he couldn't help but laugh, and waited for Shen Liuzhen to come over with his waist inserted.

Shen Liuzhen looked at Xie Yuan smiling at him, his already good mood got better and better, his smile was so sweet that he almost squeezed out honey.

Xie Yuan asked him with a smile: "Why are you acting like a child? Are you so happy that you won a fight with a six or seven-year-old child?"
