Tang's dining table

Where did the confidence come from?

Of course it was given to him by the education he had received and his experiences.

It is his instinct to overthrow an old, dark, and decadent regime, because although doing so will bring great suffering to people, it is worth it in the end.

However, today's Tang Dynasty is in the most prosperous period of its feudal dynasty's life. Looking around, it is also the most reasonable way of governance under current conditions.

Faced with this situation, what he should do is fix the deficiencies, fill in the blanks, and set a lofty goal.

This approach still has great limitations, but this is already the best result that Yun Chu thought.

Who gave Yunchu such confidence?

Of course, the blood-stained history books from the Tang Dynasty were given to Yun Chu.

Yunchu had no interest in changing dynasties.

After the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were the barbaric and dark Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties.

No one can surpass the current Tang Dynasty, which has clear politics and peaceful people. So, why do we need to change dynasties?

Yunchu himself established a dynasty that transcended the times?

This was a false proposition for Yunchu. He didn't think he could compete with the teacher and create a new era from the ruins.

Looking at the group of people around the teacher, and then looking at the group of people around himself, Yunchu understood that there was no such possibility.

Gentle and Di Renjie are firmly part of the feudal society, and Zhong Kui is a wise man who believes that gods are more important than people.

If we can't build a society built by teachers and a group of people, just changing dynasties will be meaningless to Yunchu.

Yunchu also envied Li Zhi's current social status and the power he held. He could not guarantee that after taking that position, he would still maintain a clear mind and be wiser than Li Zhi.

The most important thing is that he doesn't have this ability.

After hundreds of years of development of the Yun family, this may be possible, but as of now - it is absolutely impossible.

However, all this does not affect Yunchu's determination to move forward and strive for good.

To be honest, if the emperor becomes bad, what does Yun Chu have to do with him? Regardless of whether the emperor is good or not, he must do what he must do.

To be a good official, to do what an official should do, to save a city that is bound to decline, to light up a city in the dark river of history, and to set a benchmark for eternity, is the limit of Yunchu's ability.

Knowing what the future of Chang'an looks like in reality, and knowing how to turn Chang'an into what it is in dreams, is the difference between Yunchu and the first-class talents of the Tang Dynasty such as Wen Rou, Di Renjie, and Zhong Kui.

So, don’t think too much, just do it with all your strength.

In the history books, the exchanges between the people of the Tang Dynasty and the Cannibals were scattered and not large-scale. Even the officials of the two countries were very vague about what kind of existence the other party was.

Now, it's different. Yunchu and Da Shiren have reached a preliminary official recognition, which can be regarded as the opening of trade.

The cannibalism is very important. Through the cannibalism, the Tang Dynasty has a connection with the Byzantine Empire and even the far west.

Only in this way can the Silk Road truly become an important trade route around the world.

With this business road, the people of the Tang Dynasty no longer have a narrow understanding of the outside world, and can truly open their eyes and look around the world.

Given the people of the Tang Dynasty who like to absorb good things from outside and the habit of actively exploring the world, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be able to have a basic understanding of the world in which they live within a few generations.

When these cognitions came about, Yun Chu thought that the Tang Dynasty world would usher in a new era.

No one could glean the true meaning of these things Yunchu did. The emperor and queen thought that Yunchu was coveting the treasure of Sasanian Persia for the restoration of the country.

The prince thought that Yunchu was reorganizing and dredging the Silk Road.

Wen Wen thought that the reason why Yun Chu came to the Western Region was to build the Western Region into the back garden of Chang'an City, so that he could continuously inject blood for the prosperity of Chang'an.

They knew that when Yun first came to the Western Regions, the most important thing was to connect with the big food country, and then use the big food country as a bridge to pass through various obstacles and finally connect with the whole world.

The ultimate goal is to make Chang'an City the true center of the world.

Sometimes, it is not necessary for a politician to say everything he wants to do, because as long as he does say it, there will inevitably be opposition.

These opposing voices may not necessarily be serving the country; they are just opposing for the sake of opposing.

Just do it quietly. Over time, driven by countless small things, qualitative changes will eventually occur.

Time will soak everything.

The clouds are sinking at the bottom of the bathtub. Through the rippling water, you can see some sunlight. When the water light enters your eyes, there will be some slight deformation. The result of the deformation is that the things outside will be slightly deformed.

Yunchu's breath was long, so when he raised his head, it was already half a stick of incense later.

This time, he washed his body carefully. The previous body was stained with too many sins and had to be washed clean with a pool of water in the Buddhist kingdom.

Although the water in the Buddhist Kingdom is no different from the water outside, Yunchu still hopes that the light of civilization that has just appeared here can help him.

It took a whole hour to wash up. After an hour, when Yun Chu stepped out of the bathing room, he once again became a handsome young man.

The sins and bad things done in the Western Region have been borne by the earth along with the sewage.

Looking at Yun Chu who came out tenderly, he said, "He has become handsome again."

Yun Chu nodded and said, "That's right."

Zhong Kui said: "There is a big difference before and after taking a bath."

Wen Wen turned back to look at Zhong Kui's ugly face and said, "You should take more baths in the future, maybe you will become more beautiful."

Zhong Kui stroked his beard like a steel brush and asked Rou Wen, "How long do you think it will take for it to take effect?"

Gentle said: "A hundred years later, when you are cleaned by Po Wen and handed into the arms of your parents in the next life, it is time to test the effect."

Yun Chu said from the side: "Great kindness."

Zhong Kui said: "After ten years of collecting the taxes from the Persian Protectorate in one go, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"

Wen Wen said: "When the Three Eastern Kingdoms were destroyed, taxes from many places in Hebei had been collected for twenty years. Since their officials there are all alive and well, there is no reason that Yunchu would be struck by lightning."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "It may seem cruel to collect taxes in one go after ten years, but in fact it is for the benefit of the people of the Persian Protectorate."

Zhong Kui laughed at Yun Chu's disgusting statement. He stroked his beard and said, "I really want to know how to do it for their own good."

Wen Wen smiled and said: "We have collected taxes for ten years, which means that in the next ten years, no Tang Dynasty officials will be willing to work in a place without taxes. Everyone knows that the Persian Protectorate has been wiped out by me." If it is three feet high, the people there must be extremely poor.

In other words, although the people of the Persian Protectorate are currently suffering great hardships, the next ten years will be a relaxed and satisfying decade.

After all, we are taxed according to the ten-year tax rate of Datang's commercial tax. You also know that Datang's commercial tax is only one of ten taxes. "

Zhong Kui sneered and said: "What you collect is commercial tax, not rental servants. Later generations may not collect commercial taxes and only collect rental servants. In the end, the people here will still be living in poverty. I'm afraid they can't even farm and herd. This way A living..."

Zhong Kui stopped immediately after he said this. He looked at Yun Chu in horror and said, "Do you want to use this kind of exploitation to get everyone in the Persian Protectorate to participate in business?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "The Persian Protectorate is located on the border between the Tang Dynasty and Dashi. If you don't do some buying and selling things properly, what kind of land can you plant and what kind of pasture can you graze?"

Wen Wen added: "Their status is really advantageous. On one side they are the common people of the Tang Dynasty, on the other side they are members of the same clan, and at the same time they are the common people of the Dashi Kingdom's original conquered area.

With these three identities, they can take advantage of both Dashi and Datang. Although all their money has been plundered by us, they will soon become rich again and their lives will be easier. Several wealthy businessmen appeared. "

Zhong Kui sighed and said, "Is this your blessing to the people in the Persian Protectorate's jurisdiction?"

Yun Chu said: "Time flies so fast, we don't have time to think about it carefully."

Zhong Kui looked at Yun Chu and said, "Take another bath, so that you can become more handsome, and people will forgive you for your mistakes because you are good-looking..."

Wen Wenwen smiled on the side and said, "As long as you are paying for the sins of the two of us and eliminating our sins, the outcome of the two of us in the future will not be too bad."

Zhong Kui said: "Not two, but three, and Di Renjie."

"A man of God can bear thousands of sins, just like an old monkey. He has carried such heavy sins, but he preaches that hell is not empty and vows not to become a Buddha. In the end, he will definitely be recognized by ten thousand Buddhas.

You are building hell, in fact, to give people a place to atone for their sins. It is only a trivial matter for you to bear the sins of the three of us. "

Zhong Kui listened to Yun Chu's words and said disapprovingly: "The sins of mortals are no more serious than the slightest. If the sins of the three of you are accumulated, they will be heavier than those of Taihang, Wangwu, and Taishan..."

Of course Yun Chu and Wen Wen don't think so. They stubbornly believe that they have been doing altruistic things.

Even in the process of making mistakes, he never thought about how to gain benefits, but only focused on doing good for the world.

If such people still have to bear the burden of sin, there must be something wrong with the world, not the three of them.

Zhong Kui's butt must be sitting crookedly. He sits on a human's point of view, regardless of standpoint, only talking about right and wrong. This is obviously wrong.

At this moment, the lives of the people in the Persian Protectorate are indeed not easy, but their future will definitely get better.

The disadvantages are in the present time, but the advantages are in the future. At this moment, it is too early to say whether it is right or wrong.

Taking my son on a blind date is actually a process of taking my son to show him to old friends and allowing my son to pursue his daughter.

My old friend has strict rules in running his family and has strict requirements for his two daughters. Only with the approval of the couple can my son have the possibility to pursue his daughter.

The wine party last night was very good. People who don’t drink made an exception and drank two taels. They accepted the thangka I gave to others. While they were drinking, my son and his daughter disappeared.

It looks like there's something going on.
