Chapter 77 Professionals Do Professional Things

The people of the entire Song Dynasty were in an uproar.

People on both sides of the Yellow River cried together.

People in other places couldn't help feeling sad when they thought of the various exorbitant taxes they had to bear over the years.

They had never dared to complain before, and many of them accepted their fate.

But now that Tianmu has said so, they can't help complaining.

"The fairy is right. The Zhao family treats scholars preferentially for the sake of the country's stability. The scholar-officials don't have to pay taxes, but such a big country has no money, so the money will be allocated to us."

"Whose country is the country of the Great Song Dynasty? It is the country of scholars."

"No wonder those scholars who sing praises all day long have taken such a big advantage."

"The Yellow River has changed its course. The Yellow River has changed its course. Is this a joke? It's simply whimsical."

"The officials and the ministers in the court are whimsical, but it is us ordinary people who suffer."

Today, you may want to divert the Yellow River and drown half of Hebei, but in the future, who knows what will suffer?

Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin sat dumbly for a long time. His eyes were slightly red, and he said sadly: "How could the soldiers and people of Hebei deserve this?"

Wuyou thought so too.

In fact, she still liked the Song Dynasty before, thinking that the Song Dynasty was prosperous, stable and commercially developed, so the people here must have a very good life.

After all, the people of Bianliang City are still called arrogant people.

But when she read a lot of books and really understood this dynasty, she didn't think so.

Yes, the Song Dynasty was a paradise for scholars, but it was also a hell for many common people.

There were so many exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes in the Song Dynasty that she felt a headache when she read the book.

The people of Bianliang City are living a good life, but why?It's because one country is supporting one city...

There is also the weakness and timidity of those in power in the Song Dynasty, which made Wuyou feel uncomfortable after knowing it.

When she saw an article mentioning Sanyi's return to the river, her three views were broken.

At that time, she was thinking about how miserable the people living in the Song Dynasty were, and how miserable the people in Hebei were at that time...

It is said that it is better to be a peace dog than a person in troubled times, but the Song Dynasty was considered a peaceful and prosperous time, but it did not make the people live any better.

The more he thought about it, the angrier Wuyou became.

She couldn't help but bring up some pictures she saw on a certain website.

"When we recite the songs of dynasties, we often talk about the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, but in my opinion, the Song Dynasty was not a unified dynasty at all. Later generations even added a few pictures to the Song Dynasty. Let's take a look."

A very simple stick figure that everyone can understand at a glance.

Even people who have never read a book can understand what's going on after reading it.

The first picture has the word "strong man" written on it. The picture shows a very tall man with his hands on his waist and a proud look. There are many little people kneeling around him, and each of them has the words "strong man" written on it. The words "Xiongnu", "Wusun", "Jiaozhi", "Nanyue", "Yelang", etc.) all looked up at the tall man with "big man" written on it, and shouted "Dad".

The second picture is similar to the first one, except that the tall man has become Tang Dynasty, and the small people around him have become Turks, Tubo, etc.

And the third picture is Da Song. This time Da Song in the picture has become a kneeling villain, surrounded by many taller than him, with Liao, Xixia, Tubo, Dali, Jin and so on written on it.

And the little man with Song written on it calls these people daddy.

It's really murderous.

As soon as these pictures of Wuyou came out, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were completely embarrassed.

Especially the officials of the Song Dynasty, all of them had burning faces, feeling like they had been slapped countless times.

Zhao Kuangyin even spat out a mouthful of blood. His whole body trembled, his face was bruised and purple with anger: "Why is this? Come, pass on my will, take away the title of King Jin, and demote him to a commoner..."

However, the emperors of the Han and Tang dynasties looked complacent.

Liu Che laughed, pointed at the picture and said to Wei Qing: "Did you see that one day I will make the Huns kneel down and call Dad?"

Wuyou added another sentence: "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, there were constant disputes. When all countries fought to the death, they did not allow foreigners to invade the Central Plains, nor did they bow their heads to others, but what about the Song Dynasty?"

It really destroyed the last bit of dignity of the Song Dynasty official family.

After releasing the three pictures, Wuyou continued: "Everyone thought they flooded half of Hebei after changing the course of the Yellow River, and drowned so many people, it's over? No, it's not over yet. After Renzong's death, when we arrived at Shenzong , this man suddenly had a whim and wanted to divert the Yellow River back, what happened? This time the Yellow River directly took the Huaihe River into the sea, flooding 45 counties and counties and destroying 30 hectares of land..."

"As for the third time, Song Shenzong admitted that he would stop messing around, but his son Song Zhezong was not convinced and wanted the Yellow River to return to its old course. As a result, there was a huge flood this time, and even the Temple of Yu on the mountain was destroyed. After these three times of tossing, Hebei, Shandong, and northern Jiangsu have almost been washed into white ground."

"What's more serious is that after several times of messing around, the water system of the lower reaches of the Yellow River was directly damaged. The lower reaches of the Yellow River began to flow turbulently. In later generations, it became more difficult to regulate the river."

After Wuyou finished talking about this matter, he couldn't help saying: "Nothing is taken for granted. If you are not a water conservancy expert or a river control expert, don't make a decision all at once. Leave professional matters to professional people. When professional people strongly oppose it, it means that this matter is not feasible, we must humbly accept other people’s suggestions, instead of messing around and causing so many natural and man-made disasters, which will not only harm the present, but also bring disasters to future generations.”

宋朝
Zhao Kuangyin's heart ached unbearably.

These descendants messed around, making him, the ancestor, almost pissed off.

And if someone else messes up, I'm afraid he will have to take the blame.

Some people don't mention which emperor did it at all, but will say that it was done by the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

There were so many emperors in the Song Dynasty, and many people would think of him.

Just like Qin Shi Huang also took the blame for many Qin kings.

Of course, as the founder of the country, he still loves the people's power. He has flooded the three provinces, how much people's power and food have been flooded. If the money and food are given to him, he has already taken back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

Emperors like Shihuang, Liu Che, and Li Shimin focus on the professional things that Wuyou said to be done by professionals, and non-professionals should follow other people's suggestions.

Thinking about it carefully, although these words are simple, the truth is very profound.

Professionals do professional things.

Those who know how to farm land, those who know how to forge iron, those who can fight wars...

If a country can make the best use of its resources and its people, why should it not prosper.

Many emperors bowed towards the sky: "Thank you fairy for your enlightenment."

In addition to the emperors, there are many people who remember this sentence.

In time and space, Wang Yun had already met Bao Chuan, and the father and daughter discussed letting Bao Chuan secretly pick up the martial arts she was practicing, and asked her to put on men's clothes to train soldiers.

In the Red Mansion plane, Daiyu and Lin Ruhai were also thinking about this sentence.
