Xiao Yun nodded and said, "when it comes to the kettle, you understand, but why don''t you understand the river?"
The woman pretended to be a man and turned to look at the river.
Xiao Yun continued: "There are not many ways to control or prevent floods, and there are not many things we can do. We can''t control whether it rains or raise the terrain of the river. The only thing we can do is to make the river wider as much as possible. The easiest way to broaden the river is to deal with the silt of the river. This must be done and improved Do it often and can''t stop. Once it stops, there will be more and more silt. It is even possible to block the river and let the river overflow the river embankment. "
Speaking of this, he sighed and asked, "do you know how much money Daqin spends on cleaning the river every year?"
The woman pretended to be a man and shook her head.
"It''s enough to repair the whole palace! Your majesty, over the years, if you don''t bear the water leakage in the East, you have to watch the collapse in the West. The palace is not as magnificent as people see outside. It can be said to be full of holes, especially the green bricks on the ground. Sometimes if you are not careful, you will trip pedestrians. He wants to repair it, but he just doesn''t have money, because even if the state of Qin spends so much money on it All kinds of places, but not enough. Do you know how many canals in the state of Daqin are completed every year even with so much money? You must not know, I tell you, 20 percent! Your majesty lives frugally and levies exorbitantly among the people. Everyone is working hard. Everyone is not doing well. The money saved is used everywhere. If it is distributed to rivers and canals, it can only be repaired by 20%. "
Women disguised as men were startled by this number.
Twenty percent?
It''s too short!
When she understood the harm of flood, what people can do and how this practice can save lives, she naturally knew that 20% was too little.
Xiao Yun sighed and looked at the prisoners who were still working, say: "Now the state of Qin has used my method. When this method is implemented, I have skipped your majesty and all decision-makers. I made this matter a reality by letting the cabinet directly through relations and making use of the complex relations of local officials. Only this year, the cleaning degree of rivers and canals has reached 50%. Although it is not a figure I am satisfied with, I use the same method With the same amount of money and the same national strength, I have achieved the ultimate. "
At this point, he gave a wry smile, then tilted his head, looked at women disguised as men, and asked seriously, "I did this in exchange for the name of a devil among people. Do you think it''s too much?"
The woman disguised as a man was stunned.
Half a ring can''t speak.
Xiao Yun didn''t wait for her reaction, Continue: "There are two other advantages. The second advantage is punishment. They are sinners. Many of them are not serious crimes and do not need to cut off their heads. If they do bad things, they will always affect some ordinary people, or be hurt or indirectly hurt. If you are a victim, you can only see that these prisoners don''t do anything in prison, they can eat, drink or even be locked up After a few years, all of them have gained weight. Can you bear it? "
The woman disguised as a man frowned and said, "it seems a little intolerable."
"So letting these sinners work is waste utilization, and it can also give some comfort to the ordinary people who have suffered."
"But... The prison has punished them. Now there is more work that is easy to die. Is it too much?"
"Too much?"
Xiao Yun smiled gently and said, "this is the third advantage of doing so."
"Oh?"
"What do you think these prisoners will face when they are released?"
"This..."
Women dressed as men obviously didn''t think about it.
Xiao Yun said with a smile, "maybe you''ve never met such a person."
The woman pretended to be a man and nodded.
Xiao Yun said: "After these people are released, if they have farmland at home, they can live well, but in fact most people don''t have these. They need to work, but few shopkeepers use people who have committed crimes like them. What they have done and committed, obviously, have been in prison, but will also accompany them all their lives. People won''t forgive them, They will not understand them. They will only discriminate against them and crowd them out. In the long run, they will easily embark on a road of no return. "
"Will it be so serious?"
"It''s only more serious than this. Why do you think there are bandit strongholds everywhere? Many people don''t want to go, but are forced to go. They can''t survive except doing some business of licking blood with a knife. Especially these powerful guys try their best to get recognition from others, and nothing is more respectable than putting a long knife on each other''s neck The way to do it. "
"That''s quite complicated."
Xiao Yun smiled bitterly, say: "So if you let them do this, you can see that they are pitiful, and the people can see that those who have enemies with them will say something like they deserve to die at the beginning, but at the same time, they also know that they are punished enough. When they finish their sentence and get out of prison, the people will be more likely to accept them. After all, even the slightest bit can be accepted Pity their thoughts can give them a way out in life. "
The woman disguised as a man was surprised again, and the whole person was stunned there.
Xiao Yun said calmly: "Human nature is like this. To put it bluntly, most people don''t know the words of saints, can''t be self-cleaning, and can''t live by themselves. Just as in your eyes, I''m bullying them and harming them, but I don''t understand that I do all this from the overall situation, not only for others, but also for them. Not like you, just with a cavity of blood, I do something to make my heart In a sense, your behavior is called selfishness. "
A woman disguised as a man was speechless.
With his mouth open, he looked at Xiao Yun and couldn''t say a word for a long time.
After a long time, he said slowly, "I won''t save it, will I?"
"Yes, it can''t be saved, and ah, whenever you want to break some things or rules in the future, you should think about it first."
"Hum! Are you teaching me a lesson?"
"No, no, I''m just an excuse. Anyone who is said to be a devil in the world always wants to defend himself. I didn''t want to. I said it when I said it. Many people said it, and many of you, but you have to destroy the balance that was hard to build, and it may lead to death. I have to argue well Untie it. "
"Ha ha, so if you scold me like this, I still want to thank you?"
"That''s not necessary. As long as you don''t destroy it, we meet by chance. It''s fate to meet each other. I''m afraid it''s difficult to meet again in the future. The words are open and there are fewer misunderstandings."
"Hum!"
The woman disguised as a man scraped Xiao Yun hard, then turned angrily and walked away, and soon disappeared into the night.
Xiao Yun looked at that direction, frowned, subconsciously raised his head and sniffed the residual aroma in the air.
With a bitter smile, "this is the most unprofessional disguise I''ve ever seen in my life, but a woman dares to shout to save people in the hands of a group of cruel officials. It seems that she is also an expert... Her body, voice and martial arts should be good, but her brain... Is a little worse."
With a grin, Xiao Yun turned and walked home.
To tell you the truth, he''s a little sleepy, too.
In fact, he had a full day today.
In addition to exercising in the morning, after breakfast, Wu Xi rushed into the room. 70 people can walk fast and spit at all kinds of books.
There are too many things to deal with in Cunjin mansion and Cangjin Pavilion. Xiao Yun should at least give him a direction.
The small piece of land in the Xiao family''s ancestral home needs to be built now. How to build it? Wu Xi was going to get it by herself, but Xiao Yun stopped him.
Xiao Yun is going to do some big moves there!
