Lu You was in a panic for no reason and didn’t know how to answer Yu Yunwen’s question.
Reasoning, he felt that he had done nothing wrong, but chatted with Wang Qi and didn’t disclose the news of the Southern Song Dynasty. Instead, he got a lot of news from him.
So he calmed down.
"We told us to explore the real situation of the country a lot, so I just found the king and beat about the bush and asked some news about the country."
"oh? Is this the case? "
Yu Yunwen deeply looked at Lu You and stared at him and stopped talking.
For a long time, when Lu You felt weak, Yu Yunwen finally spoke.
"It’s good that you can remember yourself. I don’t think your court official should make mistakes with him … don’t get too close to the Chinese. I’m done here."
With that, Yu Yunwen turned and walked to the door of his room. At last, he took a look at Lu You and pushed the door and entered his room.
Chapter 9 The construction site in China is different from that in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Yu Yunwen left the back land corridor for a while, and after a pause, he returned to his room and opened the door.
He is not sure whether Yu Yunwen just saw himself sitting and chatting with Wang Qi or heard the chat?
If you see it, it’s so-called asking for information to prevaricate the past.
But if he hears the chat …
He has heard that Yu Yunwen Privy Council officials have a tough stance on China, and they are very tough and very disgusted with China. It would be a bit bad for him to know that he is talking to Wang Qi.
I don’t know how he will report what he has done with Chen Kangbo and the court.
Will the imperial court therefore examine itself and investigate itself?
Lu you is a little uneasy.
But he also felt that if Yu Yunwen knew that he had just talked to Wang Qi, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be so easy for him to pass Yu Yunwen, and he wouldn’t give himself a piece of advice after that: "Don’t get too close to Chinese people."
If he is going to report himself, there is no need to give himself such a warning
So he probably didn’t hear anything because he saw himself talking to Wang Qi and had some doubts about himself.
No real hammer
So comfort yourself Lu You, and then lie on the bed with complicated emotions.
When he was lying in his head with all kinds of emotions, he bumped his head in a short time, dizzy and exhausted.
So he fell asleep as soon as his eyes closed.
In the next few days, Lu You didn’t have any chance to meet and talk with Wang Qi alone, but Yu Yunwen didn’t seem to have any special reaction. As always, when the three of them got together to talk about things in China privately, there was nothing special.
Lu You gradually became convinced that Yu Yunwen really didn’t hear himself talking to Wang Qi, but only after seeing that scene did he react.
He was relieved not to continue observing Yu Yunwen, but to focus his attention on the observer country.
When they went to Jinan, they passed through the renovation site of the old Yellow River. Both Chen Kangbo and Yu Yunwen were very interested in asking if Wang Qi could go and see it.
Wang Qi nodded and took them to visit the Yellow River renovation site.
Renovation sites come and go from farmers’ labor organized by farmers’ associations in the surrounding areas. They are very busy carrying all kinds of building materials to and from the construction sites.
"This is the old course of the Yellow River in the post-Han period. After several diversions, it has been abandoned. After renovation, it is ready to restore the Yellow River to the state of the post-Han period, avoid the Huaihe River, avoid the Yellow River, seize the Huaihe River again, and restore the Huaihe River area to life."
Wang Qi pointed to the towering river embankment project at the construction site. "It costs tens of billions of dollars to make the Yellow River no longer harm the Central Plains, and let Hebei, Shandong and Henan return to their original grain production and farming."
Such a large fiscal revenue will be further increased, and the lives of the people will become better. Huaibei is suitable for grain production, and once the grain security is restored, more protection will be obtained. "
Say that finish Wang Qi meaningfully looked at Chen Kangbo and other three people.
"When the Southern Dynasties failed to get things done, they have made up their minds to replace the Southern Dynasties and never let the Yellow River continue to harm the people of the Central Plains. Once the Yellow River project is successfully completed, the emperors of the Southern Dynasties will be pleased, right?"
Chen Kangbo felt that Wang Qi was secretly poking and cursing them after listening to the color behind him.
Yu Yunwen bowed his head and didn’t know what to think.
Lu you looked around at the site and looked at this orderly state. There were quite some feelings in his heart, but looking at him, he found another flashpoint.
"Master wang site supervisor? Or the army? What didn’t you see? "
Wang Qi looked at Lu You and then looked back at the construction site.
"The supervisor didn’t look at probably go to the site to work? In the army … What should arrange the army site? The army has its own arrangement. The migrant workers at the construction site can take turns to guarantee the safety. What can the army do? "
"What? No army? "
Lu you was quite surprised.
Yu Yunwen and Chen Kangbo’s complexion has also changed, which is incredible.
Chen Kangbo even asked, "What can I do if there is a riot on the construction site without arranging troops?" Aren’t so many people gathered in the North Korea worried about riots? "
Yu Yunwen is also very interested in this problem staring at the king qi.
It was not until this time that they found that the national construction site was not the same as that of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Farmers in the Southern Song Dynasty had the obligation to be forced to work during the slack season every year, which was a matter of course. The imperial court contributed that they were born with responsibilities and were not paid.
They say it’s a meal, but they all know what they eat.
The basic meals have been corrupted by big and small officials, and those who can be forced to eat for these migrant workers are normal people who can’t eat, even if they can’t eat, they don’t have enough to eat.
Hunger, a full meal, and a lot of physical labor work. Starvation, fatigue, and death at the construction site are common things. It is not surprising at all.
It is precisely because of such harsh conditions that farmers who are forcibly recruited will always try their best to escape. In order to curb the escape, the government in the Southern Song Dynasty will move troops and armed supervisors. If anyone dares to make trouble, they will face serious consequences.
Moreover, even if the site officials don’t embezzle migrant workers’ food to feed them, the court will send troops to supervise the site to prevent accidents.
The reason is that the court does not believe that the people are guarding against the people for fear of chaos.
In this era, transportation is inconvenient, and people are far away. Some people want to rebel. The foundation can be limited to one area and one county, but it is very difficult for the government troops to settle down with little manpower.
If you want to make a big uprising, you must have the ability to link multiple regions and launch a rebellion together. This ability is not available to everyone.
This greatly increases the difficulty of the bottom people’s uprising and rebellion, and also reduces the difficulty of the government to contain the rebellion.
But once the labor force comes to work, it is different.
Farmers in various regions are gathered together, so many people, so bad working conditions and so cruel officials supervise the work, and grievances in the hearts of farmers will continue to accumulate.
Once this anger reaches a critical point, it will lead to riots.
At this time, there are so many people on the construction site that tens of millions of people are prone to riot. Once there is a riot, it is a large-scale uprising. Ordinary security forces can’t control themselves and put themselves into the army to guard against the rulers.
Therefore, whenever the feudal dynasty wanted to carry out a big project, many officials would always jump out and object, and the reason for each objection was definitely not just that it was too much money.
Their strongest objection is that they are worried that the mass gathering will be difficult to control in the event of riots.
There are many such cases, from the Qin Dynasty to the later dynasties, and there have been no fewer peasant workers rebelling at the construction site, and some of them have made a big noise, which can even be a direct trigger for the collapse of a dynasty
When a feudal dynasty wants to carry out large-scale projects, it must pay more than just building and manpower.
The biggest achievement they need to pay is to spend money to prevent people from rioting.
This kind of success is that a dynasty can’t cope with it rashly because there is a risk of the collapse of the dynasty at any time.
A veteran of the Song Dynasty experienced many site rebellions and knew this truth well.
When China started the Yellow River Project, many senior officials, including Zhang Jun, directly asserted that China would no longer have the power to wage war, because most of them had to guard against the rebellion of migrant workers on the Yellow River construction site.
However, it is strange that there has been no riot in the Yellow River construction site in China for more than two years since the project was launched, which makes the Southern Song Dynasty monarch and ministers quite understand.
Why isn’t there a riot?
This is unscientific.
