Someone once commented that China's thousands of years of imperial history was full of struggles between royal power and official power, but in fact it was the difference between the ruling party and the opposition party, which together controlled the largest social capital, 'land'. Power is the mother, capital is the cub, and the son is naturally close to the mother, so the land is always more and more concentrated. Once the game between the two affects the process of capital gathering, it will cause ****, so that the inferior official power will have the opportunity to overthrow the royal power, and then PK out a new royal power again and re-divide the cake. When capital is not limited to land, smooth logistics, sufficient population, developed trade, and a favorable policy environment make commercial interests gradually rise, which can attract capital more than the fixed interest rate of land. If it happens in Europe, then there will be a bourgeois revolution or a glorious revolution, while in East Asia, a strong royal power will draw a line for the new capital, such as the red-topped merchants in the late Qing Dynasty and the thirteen branches of government-run commercial houses, etc., and use administrative means to interfere with the accumulation and dispersion of capital.

Although the current Dayu is also making rules for commercial capital, at the level of royal power, it is to fully support and guide the flow of new capital with a giant government-run trade body, and the group of businessmen who feel the bonus of the golden finger will soon rise and lean towards the center of power. The capital that comes alive seems to have magical powers, and can unearth treasures in the poorest places, and many counties that were originally difficult to grow their crops have become Wangxian counties because of the discovery of minerals or special crops.

The impact on the bureaucratic system based on native land can be imagined, and land was once their greatest guard of honor, but it was only a link in commercial capital. The Tian family, one of the veterans of the Industrial Construction Bureau, although there is still no inch of land to this day, but the dividends obtained every year are not less than the net worth of Li Fang, the head of the household department. Not to mention Xiao Jiu, as soon as the Northeast field was open for subscription, he immediately bought a thousand hectares of land outside Yilan City, such a stroke could not even be compared to Zhang Guibai, the political envoy of Buyeo Bu, who was in the third grade.

This sense of imbalance and disparity has gradually formed an undercurrent of opposition, and they have quietly emerged in the heated discussion of 'great unification' and have a critical attitude towards it, saying, 'If you want to maintain only great unification, you have to rely on the centralized central government to cut down the differences between the provinces and take backwardness as the benchmark; The evil **** of the Chinese people and those who love the great unification are tantamount to loving slim and reluctant sweets', this argument has resonated with many people. When the national prestige was demonstrated, and another mine was opened in Dongzhou, the opposition parties who were worried about 'fighting for many years and being tired of farming' stood up.

This' The composition of the opposition party's group is very complex, including the uninhabited clans who can live only on the land, the Qingliu families who pay attention to the style and tradition, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who find that their own land annexation is increasing but the output is getting less and less, but still refuse to let their clansmen go out to make money and only read the books of sages and sages, the rich gentry in the countryside who refuse to raise their wages and let their farmland go barren for three years, and the land is repossessed by the government and are fined, tenant farmers who only serve rice but change their fields to grow herbs and lose their jobs, and even veterans who do not want to change the land in the northeast for their hometowns and find that they have become barren with weeds, and many people who want to secretly find a way to go to sea to pan for gold'Displaced people' and disgruntled coastal city officials. Enthusiastic students are not allowed to become spokespersons, and they are excited about the chaos of 'the imperial court chasing profits and destroying the peasants, the number of displaced people has increased greatly, and the people have unrested'.

The newspaper did not hide it deeply, but truthfully selected an 'article' to be published, suggesting a 'public debate' on the issue, and ensuring that the selected article could reach the heavens.

Many anonymous people have counted the number of people who have been approved to go to the East China Sea port and the number of people who have returned to the East China Sea port every year, and they have never returned. In addition, the number of people from other places in the county has exceeded the original number of people in the county in a year, and the number of criminal cases has increased more than ten times compared with before the opening of the sea, which proves how much social problems the imperial court's attitude towards the 'displaced people' has caused more and more social problems. There is also written in the name of King Huixin, his family is more honest than King Wunian, but it is the same as the Xichuan Wang family who has made meritorious contributions, because the servants were laid off and the farmers were insufficient, and they have sold their land for a living in the past few years, not to mention those Feng'en generals, Emperor Ji and the like, all of whom are of Taizong's blood, how can we be so miserable? !

With a battlefield on the surface, most of the opposition began to rack their brains to gather and write articles, and those who really had other plans could only turn to private actions, which allowed Jinyiwei to find out the clues. King Huixin, who was elected as the leader of the 'anti-imperialism', has been silent and has not come out, and some people in the prince's family have asked the emperor to 'consolidate the people's livelihood first, and then push the Northern Expedition'.

The 'reformers' who are choking the opposition are also very tough. If we want to take the outflow population statistics as an example, we can directly list the current tax revenue and population of the county, which have increased compared with those before the opening of the sea, indicating that there are many people who leave and many people who come. If we talk about the influx of 'displaced people' into the coastal areas, it is a fact that the number of cases has increased, but it has been decreasing since the opening of the sea, which shows that the government is increasingly able to cope with this situation, and even if it does encounter a large number of real refugees who fled in a disaster year, it can completely deal with it, which is a good thing, not a bad thing. Princess Xi Chuan herself took the initiative to refute the sale of land, after they laid off the servants, they relied on the purchase of farm tools and new machines to plough the fields, and there was no need for so many hired farmers. The money given by the people only made up for the rent of these years, and it was not considered to be purchased, but in truth, the things that the royal palace had rewarded them were worth a comparable amount. King Zongzheng Runan even listed the total number of fixed salaries given by Sejong to these supernumerary clans over the years and compared with what Shenzong gave, which will be twice as much as before, as for why it is still called poor, people with brains understand that if you don't work for nothing, in addition to having children at home, what else will you do, it's strange if you are not poor. The unlucky King Wu Nian was pulled out again to make a negative teaching material, and before the arson slaves killed people and lost more than 200,000 taels of silver, the royal gifts could not be realized, but could only sell the land. is still very poor, because he currently has forty-four concubines, twenty-seven houses, plus the princess who loves gold ornaments, how can he have spare money to open source and hire farmers, and naturally the income is getting less and less, and he continues to sell land.

Not surprisingly, the result of the controversy was skewed in the direction of 'tax-free assistance to farmers for those who insisted on cultivating and cultivating the land, and imposing heavy taxes on merchants who made easy profits', and from the anti-imperialist movement to 'the emperor is not bad, it would be more perfect if we could protect a little more of us small peasant landlords who only want to be self-sufficient', and more people discovered the business opportunities of agricultural machinery from it, and asked what the 'tractor' used by the wealthy clansmen of Zhenglong, such as the king of Xi Chuan or the three princes' mansions, was.

***********************

At this time, the queen who was preparing a small schoolbag for the three-year-old Ah Wei had not read the newspaper for several days, and did not know the secrets outside, and the other two boys were now desperately practicing martial arts to learn foreign languages in order to be able to make appearances to the world in the future.

Gu Xian is Gu Ao's new youngest son two years ago, born in the expectation of the Gu family, but unfortunately he is still not the youngest granddaughter. Gu Yaoding's thirteen grandsons have been exceeded, Gu Xian's ranking is fourteenth, nicknamed 'Ah Xiao', quiet and obedient, so that Gu Ci's sisters-in-law often sigh why they are boys.

After sending his youngest son away, Gu Ci planned to flip through the newspaper, but found that the newspaper was empty, and strangely pointed to the vacant place and asked Yiqing, "Is it broken?" ”

"It'll be delivered soon, do you want to read the prince's letter first?"

The people whose attention was quickly diverted immediately did not remember the newspaper and began to discuss the canal with Yiqing, and also arranged for the Industrial Construction Bureau to design various mechanical lathes, prepare to build factories in places where agriculture is not developed but there are minerals, mass produce different types of parts, expand the scale of the industry, and the students of the technical college can generally start work half a year in advance, and can also create many employment opportunities in the local area.

After dealing with the business, the twins came to entertain their relatives, Gu Ci pulled one in one hand, sat on the soft couch under the large glass window, looked at the red maple in the yard like fire, drank milk tea and ate small cakes.

"Your eldest brother can be home before the winter solstice."

"Can we pick him up?" Ahsan has been looking forward to going out for a long time.

"No, how can the whereabouts of the eldest brother be known casually, and I don't know where they will go ashore." Ah Sheng is not there, Ah Shuang has consciously become the boss, and he has taught the third brother who was born half an hour later than him very smooth.

"If there's anything you can't know, when they're on the agenda, I'll talk to your father."

Two almost identical handsome faces came together, and Ah Sang complained a little aggrievedly, "The second brother always thinks that we should stay away from the eldest brother." ”

"Why?" Gu Ci asked in surprise.

Ah Shuang, who was beaten and reported, said in a whisper, "Big brother, it's the prince!" It's not the same with us! ”

"Good Ah Shuang, why is it different to sue sù mother?"

"Everyone praises him, as if he does everything right, and we are, always, inappropriate, dispensable......"

When the mother was completely shocked, it seems that the boys have their own ideas, and they are a little unconvinced by their brother.

"Does Ahsan feel the same way?"

"No, there are some things, big brother is indeed more thoughtful than us." Ahsan is a practical child.

The two little guys were talking about Ah Sheng asking them to help draw up and notify the children of the clan family to participate in the selection of deputy envoys before he left, Ah Shuang didn't want to let the cousins of the Huangling uncle's family who had bullied his father and mother participate, Ah Sang felt that Yuan Xian's cousins could all enter the ranks, and there was no reason to exclude these people. Ah Sheng adopted Ah San's opinion and sent a notice to everyone in the clan family, even Yuan Jin, Sui Zhangzhu and others who were locked up. In the end, no one from those families participated, but outsiders felt that the prince seemed to be more 'humble and open-minded' than Shenzong.

"Big brother doesn't have to be so troublesome at all! It also gave those people an excuse to arrange us! If I ......" Ah Shuang was stabbed in the waist by Ah San, only to realize that he had lost his words, and immediately shut up, but seeing his straight back and tense little face, he obviously didn't care.

This is a bit of a big problem.

“…… If you are the crown prince, do you think that you can do whatever you want according to your own wishes? ”

Gu Ci tried his best to maintain his expression, gently pinching his face that was still a little baby fat, and saw him nod his head slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

"Do you remember what my mother said, in what position you consider the problem from your current situation, so, you are not the prince, this premise does not exist."

Although "......" Ah Shuang did not refute it, he obviously disagreed.

"Mother knows, someone must sue you, if Ah Sheng is not the prince, you must be the prince."

"But these people didn't tell you the whole situation," judging from Ah Shuang's expression, someone was really trying to instill the idea of 'if he became the crown prince' to him, the second in line to the throne. Gu Ci said more cautiously, "Whether this position belongs to you or not is not something you can decide alone." There are many prerequisites, for example, Ah Sheng dies, your father dies, and before you can become the crown prince, your mother will die of excessive sadness......" Seeing Ah Shuang's face pale, Gu Ci couldn't bear to continue, hugged him into his arms, and whispered, "Others are hiding these because after the incident really happens, they will not be sad, the life or death of our family has nothing to do with them, and they will even profit from our death and injury." And you're different, aren't you? ”

Ah Shuang immediately figured it out, his face as white as paper suddenly turned red, and he almost cried.

Gu Ci kissed him comfortingly, several boys hadn't let her be so close since she was seven years old, "Don't be afraid." In the future, before judging whether what others say is true or false, you must first figure out who will be most affected. You know what? ”

Ah Shuang nodded his head, leaned on her shoulder and choked up, "I didn't think about ......"

Gu Ci patted him on the back and touched Ah San's face, "Mother knows that you don't." Besides, if there is a problem, you can find a way to solve it, you don't need to talk about your identity, even your father can't do what he wants. ”

“…… I apologized to my eldest brother when I turned around. ”

"What a good boy!"

Gu Ci kissed left and right with satisfaction, sent the two red-faced sons away, waited for her husband to return to the room, and talked to him about his son's education.

***********************

"Brother, who do you say Ah Shuang's temper is with?"

Ah Sheng has listened to the truth of others since he was a child, and he almost never got angry, Gu Yao said that it was like Xiao Lu. Qiang Qiang was bright and bright, and Yuyi felt that she was carved out of the same mold as Empress Dowager Xiao. Ah Sang is calm and cautious, loves to think about things, and is recognized as similar to Gu Yao. Although Ah Wei is still young, he is very eccentric, so that people can know at a glance that his nephew is like an uncle, exactly the same as Gu Xi. Ah Shuang is special, it seems that his brother and the royal family have no such arrogant and extreme children.

Yuan Yi was embarrassed to say that Ah Shuang, the bear child, was no different from himself in his previous life, so he changed the topic, "When are you going to give Qiang Qiang a family?" ”

"Let her choose."

"Don't marry back to your uncle's house?"

Gu Ci hesitated, but still shook his head firmly, "It's good not to want to." "The nephews can choose not to join the ranks themselves, but they can't be affected by Qiang Qiang.

"It's okay, her surname is Xiao."

"But she didn't want to marry herself." Qiang Qiang has a good relationship with his cousins, and he is obviously unfeeling.

"It's okay, let it be!"

Yuan Yi is the kind of father who thinks that it doesn't matter if his daughter doesn't marry and raise noodles for the first time, and she can definitely marry if she wants to marry in the future. As for Ah Shuang's desire to be the prince, it is not a bad thing, and Ah San, who is the most strategic, was not without careful thinking before, but he understood earlier than Ah Shuang, and his temperament was not stubborn. If the twins were willing to surrender because of people's words from the beginning, I am afraid he would feel disappointed, this matter just let the three brothers run in by themselves, and Ah Sheng can also practice his hands. As for the youngest son who has just learned to hold a pen, it can be free-range.
