Chapter 641: Enemies of the World!

Izumo Bo is not a mediocre person, in Izumo Province and even in the Southern Wilderness countries, he is famous for his wisdom and ability.

In view of the status of the king of a country, it is not easy for Izumo to travel to the country of Xi and enjoy the scene of the country that was praised by the ministers of the country, but in the description of the ministers, he has a basic impression of the country of Xi.

I have to say that it is reasonable for the courtiers to visit the Xi Kingdom and observe the knowledge sought by the Xi Kingdom, but the ministers have a common problem, that is, they are too small to focus on the blindness, and the suggestions they put forward seem to be insightful and good prescriptions for governing the country, but they are untenable when they think about it carefully.

Not to mention the military merit system, let's just say that it pays attention to farming, looking at the summer dynasties, which vassal state does not pay attention to agriculture and does not encourage the people to farm?

The question is, how to attach importance to farming, how to persuade farmers, and how to encourage the people to work?

Another example is animal husbandry, which sounds wonderful, but it is a fluke that most of the common people of Izumo Province can have enough to eat, so how can they have extra food and effort to engage in animal husbandry.

Another example is to engage in water conservancy, build dams, repair canals, and irrigate farmland, which is also a decree to strengthen the country and enrich the people, but the problem is that this move requires a large number of levies and levies, and the people are injured and money, which is originally a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but often turns into a bad thing in the end, and the people are full of complaints.

Proposals such as the above, Izumo Bo agreed, but he was not satisfied, this was not the strategy he wanted to strengthen the country!

When the ministers of Izumo heard that Izumo refuted one by one, they were speechless and speechless.

Many people were eager to try and want to come forward to talk, but the hesitation on their faces seemed to have some taboo.

Izumo Bo was high up, and the changes in the faces of the ministers below were all in his heart, and immediately, he sighed and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any suggestions, but it doesn't hurt to say it, although Izumo Country has the support of Wu and Yue behind me, Xiguo will not dare to attack us for a while;

However, people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, and with the current climate of Xiguo, I am afraid that it will be difficult to imagine in the future, if I fail to enter the ranks of the overlords, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect myself in the future. ”

What Izumo said was from the bottom of his heart, and this is also the hidden danger that Izumo is most worried about in the court today.

The power of the Izumo aristocracy was given by Izumo Bo.,If the Izumo country is destroyed,,The nobles in the country can't die well.,Not to mention the destruction of the other Xi country.,It's gradually declining.,The two bloody examples of the Mo country and the mountain country are right in front of you.,When the ministers think about it.,All of them are afraid for a while.。

For a while, there was a commotion in the Crane Temple.

And at this moment, the crane in the clouds of Izumo Province was in a state of mind.

"King Qiyu, the ministers have contempt, and I don't know what to say. ”

When Izumo Bo saw his country's prime minister speak, his spirits perked up, and then he pretended to be unhappy and retreated, leaving only the country's minister Yunzhonghe.

"Prime Minister, please tell me quickly, in your opinion, how did Xiguo change from weak to strong in just a few years and become a hegemon in the Southern Wilderness?"

"King Qiyu, there is no him, only slaves. Without the slightest hesitation, the crane in the cloud blurted out.

Izumo Bo was quite interested: "I heard that the Xi Kingdom wantonly emancipated slaves, made slaves commoners, and encouraged them to work, and the Minister of State thought that the rapid rise of the Xi Kingdom was due to slaves?"

"Exactly!" Yun Zhonghe was very confident, and said: "King, if you travel to the Xi Kingdom in person, the most amazing thing is that the slaves of the Xi Kingdom are very industrious and hardworking, even if there is no overseer to supervise, they can often do their jobs, farm and work, and will not waste time." ”

Izumo Bo bowed slightly, he had heard of this, he didn't pay attention to it before, but he used to joke that he let go of his slaves, he was a complete loser, but until today, he didn't know that he had lost his eyes, and he didn't see Yao Yun's foresight.

"After the capture of the two kingdoms of Mo and Shanyuan, the slaves in the country were either confiscated or purchased from the large, medium and small clans, and the slaves in the country were classified as Xiyun Hou, or state-owned, and the Xiyun Marquis then encouraged slaves to work in agriculture with a decree, and provided promotion channels for diligent slaves to become commoners, so that Xiguo unconsciously had a large number of more people, and the national strength increased greatly, which is the policy of Xiguo to strengthen the country!"

Izumo Bo asked the head, and among all the people, only the prime minister hit the nail on the head.

"Prime Minister, you tell me in detail!"

"Whew!" the state minister Yun Zhonghe has a strategy, and as soon as he speaks, he is gushing.

"Xiyunhou once gave a lecture at Tianwen College, talking about the 'people-oriented' way of governing the country, the people are the foundation of the country, the people are strong, rich, the country ~ the family will naturally be strong, the minister thinks, Xiyunhou is reasonable;

More than sixty percent of all the people in Izumo are slaves, and these slaves are lazy and stupid, and they produce very little from ordinary slave farming, and the yield per mu is less than half that of ordinary people, while in the country of Xi, slaves are almost the same as ordinary farmers, and they produce three or four koku per mu;

Izumo is not as good at farming as Hee, but the truth is the same, if Izumo can follow the example of Hee and give slaves a channel to rise to become commoners, encourage slaves to produce and work, and slaves actively work and cultivate, food production will naturally come up.

The yield per mu is more than one stone, and the million acres of fertile land is to increase the output of one million stones, the king, what an amazing amount!

As long as half of the slaves are promoted to the common people, the national strength of the Izumo country will be increased by several percent, and at that time, the promotion to the rank of the princes will be like a treasure in the bag. ”

"Good!"

After listening to the rhetoric of the Prime Minister Yun Zhonghe, Izumo Bo's spirit was greatly lifted, as if a broad road suddenly appeared in front of him.

"The Prime Minister's words are very reasonable, this is indeed the way out for my Izumo country to change the law and innovate, however, this matter needs to be considered in the long run, slaves are the private property of the people and their relatives, and it is not easy to let them give up the slave belonging, even if the slaves are in control, but the land is not enough, the land is divided into the Zhongqing family, how to place the slaves, how to let them work hard!"

Izumo was a shrewd man, and although he was very pleased with the advice of the Minister of State, he also thought about the many difficulties in implementing this decree.

The implementation of this decree was bound to conflict with the interests of the nobles of Izumo Province.

"The king is wise!" Yun Zhonghe bowed his head and said: "This has to mention the land decree of the Xi Kingdom, the land in the world is owned by the Son of Heaven, and the Jingtian system is implemented, but in the Xi Kingdom, the Xiyun Marquis Juntian system, the land is distributed to the common people, and then the Xi State collects rent and taxes in a unified manner, and the upper is for the Son of Heaven to pay taxes, and the lower is given to the Shi clan to eat."

In this way, the Xiguo has formed a centralized system dominated by the Xiyun Hou, the huge Xiguo, only the voice of the Xihou alone, I am the only one, the law is followed, the power is monstrous, and the emerging scholars in the Xiguo country dare not obey!"

In the end, the crane in the cloud was very excited, and there was a trilling voice in his voice.

Izumo Bo was excited, his face flushed, and his eyes were full of heat and madness, some were ecstatic, and some were afraid and worried.

As the ruler of a country, Izumo Province naturally understands the benefits, disadvantages and hidden dangers.

"The Prime Minister... If this reform is successful, Izumo Province will be able to soar into the sky, but this matter touches the interests of all the nobles of Izumo large and small, and it is not trivial, if you are not careful, I am afraid... It will be shattered. ”

By the end, Izumo's voice was a little hoarse.

"The king, even if he is the enemy of the world, the minister is willing to defy the law, if the big thing can be done, the country is strong and the people are rich, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the big thing can be done, if the law fails, the minister will bear it alone!"

The crane in the cloud took a deep breath, knelt down on his legs, and prostrate on the ground.

The north wind outside the hall blew into the main hall, and the snowflakes were flying, icy and snowy, but the hearts of the two monarchs and ministers were hot.
