Chapter 806 What do you want
Xu Fu really did not expect that after Zhong Changtong heard his words, not only did he not intend to release him, but he even directly led people to deploy checkpoints throughout Liangzhou to arrest Hu merchants and destroy statues, but for telling himself the news Zhong Changtong respected Xu Fu very much, and invited him directly to his mansion. Xu Fu became Zhong Changtong's accomplice invisibly.

This was something that Xu Fu had never thought of. Inexplicably, he felt the malice towards him from the people of Liangzhou. Zhou came to serve as the prefect, Xu Fu really didn't know what Shang Shuling thought, of course, Zhong Changtong's talent was absolutely top-notch.

Zhangye is already the most prosperous area in Liangzhou, surpassing the Liangzhou government, and it is also the area with the most Hu merchants outside the Great Wall. If it is not for the reason of the prefect, perhaps the number of household registrations here will be more. Few common people fled in panic, and the Hu people did not dare to come here. Most of them had heard of Zhong Changtong's notoriety.

Xu Fu was forcibly taken back to the mansion by Zhong Changtong, but he himself went out to arrest Hu Shang. After three full days, Zhong Changtong appeared in front of Xu Fu with a smile on his face, who was studying and having tea in the courtyard Xu Fu hurriedly got up, the two greeted each other, and then sat down respectively, Zhong Changtong said with a smile: "Thanks to Xu Jun, if Xu Jun hadn't reminded me, I would have almost let those liars go!"

"This is Zhongjun?"

"Hahaha, I stopped all the statues that were transported to Yanxu. There were also many liars, barbarians' alchemists, and those who talked about gods and gods. I also executed them according to the Han law." Zhong Chang Tong said proudly, Xu Fu looked at him helplessly, and asked: "Mr. Zhong, there seems to be no such thing in the laws of the Han Dynasty?"

"Of course, Xu Jun doesn't know the dangers of these people. First of all, in terms of treatment, they reject doctors, use some charms, or simply pray to those statues to cure diseases. Hehe, after I arrived in Zhangye, I found a very strange thing”

"what is the problem?"

"The household registration issue in Liangzhou. Ever since Emperor Renzong Xiaokang rejuvenated, the household registration in the whole country has continued to increase. In a county like Luoyang, almost a million people have settled down, but Liangzhou is very strange. The territory is not small, but the number of people has always been very small, if it was because of the war before, then after Emperor Xiaokang, it was a peaceful and prosperous age, why are the household registrations in Liangzhou always so rare?"

Xu Fu is so clever, he already understood Zhong Changtong's meaning, but he didn't speak.

"It's these liars. They beat doctors and deceive the people. There are no decent medical clinics in Liangzhou. There are liars everywhere. These thieves cheat money. People are not allowed to receive medical treatment. They can only drink talisman water. Begging to gods, all kinds of tricks, seeking wealth and killing lives, because of this, countless people in Liangzhou die of illness every year!"

"Just say that Liangzhou Mumaojie is also a fool. After I arrived in Zhangye, I played to him several times, but he ignored it. Hehehe, I simply arrested hundreds of liars in Zhangye County. Take off their clothes, let them stand outside in the cold winter, let them catch diseases, then give them amulets to drink, let them bow down to statues!"

"Hahaha", Xu Fu couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and said, "Mr. Zhong is really a wonderful person."

"Mr. Xu, don't think I'm cruel. These people are worthless, and countless people have been killed. Isn't this poisonous death considered killing? They deserve to die, and the gods they worshiped didn't protect them. All of them are dead."

Mr. Zhongchang's face gradually became solemn, and he said: "Besides, there are some alchemists who are extremely cruel, demanding living sacrifices, using living people as sacrifices, and some even using women and children as sacrifices, as well as bewitching the people and killing their parents and children. Yes, what time do you say that a child born at a certain time will definitely bring disaster to the family, and all kinds of rumors will ruin the family, and the crimes are simply too numerous to list!!"

Xu Fu also gradually frowned.

"There are also those so-called temples, hehe, occupying the cultivated land, not doing any work, and asking the common people to offer sacrifices, damn it, and there are temples dedicated to the champion. They need the people to provide money and food every year. The champion has never Ask the people for a little money, do you still need the people to support you after you die? I demolished the temple of Champion Hou, and many fools in the Southern Army actually said they would kill me. Hehe, if Champion Hou came back to life, he must be killed first Drop those idiots!"

Listening to Zhong Changtong's words, Xu Fu nodded and said, "I understand."

"Between heaven and earth, how can there be any gods? People can only rely on people in this life." Zhong Changtong said disdainfully. Xu Fu was shocked when he heard the words, and after a moment of silence, Zhong Changtong said again. I just remembered something, and said: "Hey, I have been busy these days, but I have delayed Xu Jun. Xu Jun is here to visit Liangzhou? I'll take you around!"

Saying so, ignoring Xu Fu's refusal, Zhong Changtong pulled him out of the mansion.

Speaking of which, it is true that Xu Fu hadn't been able to take a good look at this place yet. He was pulled into a carriage by Zhong Changtong just as he arrived at the gate of the city, and was locked up in the mansion for three days. This time, the two of them did not take the carriage and walked on foot In Zhangye, looking at the surrounding situation, Zhong Changtong personally explained to Xu Fu, Xu Fu was dumbfounded.

"Look, in this county, I have adopted drainage facilities. Although there is not much rainfall here, but, with the increase in the number of people, the county is extremely smelly, so I found a batch of Skilled craftsman, it’s actually very simple to build these drainage facilities, anyway, it’s just to make the county look better, and besides, we don’t have a curfew here.”

"I set up a night market here, Mr. Xu doesn't know what a night market is? Hahaha, wait a little later, I'll take you to visit one or two."

The two walked for a while, listening to Zhong Changtong's introduction, Xu Fu was dumbfounded again, he felt something was wrong, looking around, he suddenly asked: "No, Zhong Jun, why are the hawkers here still like this?" There are a lot of women?" On the streets, women selling goods can be seen everywhere, and there are a lot of women on the streets.

"So what? Aren't men and women all human? I allowed it."

"Let me tell you, what's wrong with women going out to do business? I think women should be admitted in this assessment."

"Mr. Zhong!" Xu Fu yelled, eyes full of horror, seeing that he had frightened Xu Fu, Zhong Changtong grinned and said, "Mr. Xu, listen to me, let go of the so-called ancestors!" Don’t pay attention to Zhou’s etiquette, no matter what system or concept, it will change with time, even if the system of the princes in the past is suitable for the time, it may not be suitable for the present.”

"Always cling to the ancestral system and stick to it."

"You see, when I govern here, I never stick to any system. I will use whichever is the best. Everything will change. There is no most suitable policy system, only a more suitable one," Zhong Changtong said with a smile .

Xu Fu didn't say anything, he heard that this Zhongjun, Zhongjun's reputation in Liangzhou is not small, although it is notorious, it is said that the whole person is a villain who does not respect noble gods or ancestors, but with After he met, Xu Fufang found out that Zhong Changtong didn't even pay attention to all the system and etiquette besides disrespecting ghosts and gods. In his eyes, everything should change with the trend
This is a lunatic who ignores the theory of destiny, disregards etiquette, is extremely serious, and tries to revolutionize everything!

Zhong Changtong ignored it, and took Xu Fu up to a building. Zhong Changtong introduced that this is a place where drinking, eating, and a series of entertainment activities are concentrated. Although Xu Fu felt very uncomfortable, he couldn't hold back Zhong Changtong. Chang Tong, who was dragged into the courtyard by him, frowned, looking at the situation of Ying Ge Yan Wu around, and listening to the noise, Xu Fu frowned tightly.

"Mr. Xu, don't frown. The tax paid to the temple here for a year can enable Jimin Mansion to feed [-] disaster victims." Zhong Changtong smiled, and the two looked at the street, "Mr. Xu, look Ah, how prosperous Zhangye is, there are merchants everywhere, but the life of the people is better, and they can bring some money, take a walk around the streets, and have a look.”

"I came here to emphasize agriculture and suppress business. Of course, that was the right thing to do at the time. Because farming is unfavorable, it will lead to very serious results. Food is the most important thing for the people. But ah, it is different now. The Han Dynasty has a vast territory. Years of farmland, countless arable land, and a huge field outside the Great Wall and overseas, Guishuang transports countless grains to Xizhou every year."

"It's time to make a change. Merchants can no longer be restrained. On the contrary, business should be encouraged to promote its development. Dahan has the largest production site, the most labor, the most raw materials, and an extremely broad market. From Anxi to Overseas. Over the years, how much wealth has the big man accumulated through overseas? This wealth cannot be rotten by the big man."

Xu Fu just sat quietly, without saying a word, listening to Zhong Changtong talking nonsense to himself, the more Zhong Changtong said, the more excited he became, and sometimes he just danced, "Mr. Xu, what do you think?" Think about it, a huge empire uses the raw materials sent from all over the world to make countless Chengping and sell them back at expensive prices. The whole world uses the big man to produce, and the big man controls the world.”

Xu Fu shook his head, alas, what a wonderful young man, what a pity.

Before he knew it, the sky was gradually getting dark.

Xu Fu looked at Zhong Changtong who was still excited in front of him, "Mr. Zhong, why are you telling me this? Why?"

"I want to be a minister. I need help. I want you to help me."

Xu Fu smiled lightly, looking at Zhong Changtong who was very serious in front of him, "Why should I help you?"

"For the sake of light." Zhong Changtong said, looking towards the street.

Following his gaze, Xu Fu also looked at the street. Immediately, one after another lanterns were lit up on the street, the whole street was lit up, and the voices of people gradually rose, just like the bustling daytime.
