Stimulated by money, land was no longer the only pursuit, and the aristocratic gentry, who owned the most land, were willing to sell a part of the land to commercial opportunities, and wealthy merchants would in turn occupy the land. In terms of national tax revenue, there is not much to lose by taxing land and merchants, but the status of merchants without land has been slowly rising, and in some places land will even bring less income than commerce.

When this contradiction has not intensified, with a little experience of Gu Ci, he only knows that it can be transferred by expanding the territory, so that those with capital can focus on fighting for territories other than the mainland. And for the sake of wealth and land, the local magnates will also be more willing to change from those who control the land to those who control capital.

Stimulated by the sea trade, the powerful people who had enough benefits did not get along with the Divine Sect, but were willing to compromise in exchange for huge maritime benefits.

When the news of the spread of the Black Death came, the merchants of the organic spirit have moved their attention from overseas to the newly occupied areas of Dayu, and the relatively safe Nanyang and East China Seas, the ancient tea horse road must be restored, the reconstruction of the Western Regions is lacking, and the northeast reclamation needs from livestock to cotton clothing, plus epidemic prevention medicinal materials, there are many business opportunities. The most hurt people are those who only know how to follow the venture to invest money, and even borrow money to join the gang, once they lose, it is good to be able to return the capital, but they are afraid that as soon as the principal and interest are repaid, they will have to take their own money. In fact, real businessmen will not all bet on sea trade, the news is known early, and they will not lose much. Merchants who specialize in maritime trade not only take the western road, but also sell elsewhere, but sell less, after all, the majority is in the trading company. However, seafood is rarely something that cannot be sold after the next year, and the raw silk that has aged and yellowed can be sold, at most the price is worse.

When the second year of the Black Death caused a serious reduction in the profits from the sea, the nobles who had suffered losses naturally refused to give up, either turning back to pursue a stable income from more land, or trying to follow the old routine and take this opportunity to swallow up the merchants who had a shallow foundation in the lifeblood of commerce. At this time, the role of civil law is reflected, the government protects equivalent transactions, taxes are levied according to the transaction amount, and merchants are registered as shares. Even if the businessman's family is killed, the shares are also owned by the state, if you want to buy and sell, how can a wealthy businessman who has a lot of money resign himself to fate? Once poked out and targeted by the imperial history, the entire family may have to go to Penghu to plow the fields.

There is a lot of everything in Beijing, the most relatives of the emperor, and the Maiko princess of the Wunian royal family took a fancy to a newly opened Tianzhu spice shop, and hinted that they would automatically offer dry shares a few times, and the shopkeeper only gave a thin gift, and they didn't understand. So she blew the pillow wind and asked Yuan Nian to go out in person and talk to the master behind her. Knowing that this was the prince, the owner who felt bad luck planned to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, and the right to sell a shop was a big deal, and it was a big deal to rent other places and not sell spices, and opened a normal price. How do you know that Yuan Nian and his wife are thinking about it in vain, they don't bargain at all, and they send people to make trouble every day. The shopkeeper sold the shop, preparing not to do business in the capital for the time being, and they found the inn to make trouble, not saying that he was a fugitive slave from the palace, and dragged people back to the palace directly. Jing Zhaoyin didn't come out directly, but only asked Yali to hurry up and notify a certain person he was familiar with. At this time, Gu Yi took the inspection department to seal the mansion for inspection, saved the dying steward and the shopkeeper who had lost his breath, and took a cadre of nursing home stewards to prison.

It's a FLAG, a big case!

The stolen goods were all obtained, the evidence was conclusive, and the Dali Temple was directly sentenced according to the civil law, and the injured and evil slaves were all cut off their left three fingers, and the excess slaves were sent to Talas to move bricks. Shenzong personally issued an order to reprimand King Wu Nian, fined him for three years, and demoted him to the king of the county, and the palace sent the grandmother to hold the queen's decree, and ordered the princess of Maiko to kneel in the main hall every day and recite the "Female Commandment" for two hours, so that she had no strength to come out again. In order to respect the old and love the young, the criminal department thoughtfully left the old and the young in the palace, and the young men and women were escorted to the torture car.

If someone is negligent, how can the prince be convicted of a wicked servant, he should be humbled and respected, and he can be reprimanded, and there is no need to punish more, and another domestic servant should also be punished by one degree.

The Divine Sect replied with the law of the people, "The Dharma is a thing that the people believe in." The law is clearly written, and it is known what should be done and what should not be done. Whoever kills a murderer shall be sentenced to death, first-degree mutilation, or exile of the fifth degree. A person who instigates others to commit a crime shall be guilty of intent and shall be punished in accordance with the example of the principal offender. He also ordered that the case be taken as a typical example, and that the process and evidence should be published in the newspapers and publicized all over the world.

As for King Wu Nian's great loss of face and the exposure of the identity of Princess Maiko, 'the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people', not to mention that he is only the most hated younger brother of the Son of Heaven? Anyway, King Xi Chuan waved his flag and shouted, and King Huixin also folded and asked for slaves, how does a prince who can only drink and gamble and sleep with women feel, who cares?

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

Killing chickens is an example to the monkeys, but it is also possible to make the monkeys more united. Although Yuan Nian is the 'chicken', the monkeys are not necessarily willing, but they are no longer hard-hitting, hoping to get through the shortcut to the core of power.

The core of Dayu is naturally the emperor.

The person closest to him was the queen first, followed by the chief administrator of the secretariat, Mingzhuang, and then the high-ranking officials of the Chongzheng Yuan and the Privy Council.

The queen's road has always been difficult, she herself is practical and difficult to socialize, and she has greeted her in three sentences, either she has something to say directly, or you have to explain your intentions. If you make any witty hints, the queen doesn't want to pay attention to it, so she doesn't understand, and if you want to ask clearly, you have to be prepared to speak out, otherwise, I'm afraid that the next time you enter the palace will be far away.

The chief manager of Mingzhuang once served the first emperor, and he can still be the first person in front of the Divine Sect, which shows that it is not easy to get along. What's more, at present, it is extremely difficult to buy the palace maids under the training of the head of Yiqing, and there is no faction, who doesn't want to stay in An'an until they leave the palace?

It is said that when the deliberation is indecided, it must be voted for the record, the minority obeys the majority, and the seven Chongzheng Yuan scholars have to buy four, which is more difficult......

Shenzong, who has been in the palace for many years, is no longer a prince who is easy to talk to, or a new emperor who feels that there are many constraints due to limited manpower, and he is a whip in the examination, a knife in the Imperial Procuratorate, a dagger in Jinyiwei, and a radish in the royal industry, as well as the Privy Council and the four armies and a battalion under his control, and the most important thing is that after standardized education and examinations, a steady stream of talents can be replenished to the local government and court, so that he can update the officials and nobles at any time.

It's not that no one has ever beaten the idea of sending a woman directly to the emperor to blow the pillow wind, and the emperor was always slapped in the face on the spot with unpleasant words such as 'the son of a concubine is born inferior', and he was far away afterwards. What's more, the queen's father and brother are the pillars of the country, and it is really done, and it is too difficult to deal with the aftermath.

So, the one who was beaten was the prince Yuan Yin, who was going to tie his hair in a few years.

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

In the heat wave of midsummer, the queen who can't use ice to cool her with a big belly, salty and eating radishes, worrying about it, while worrying about the spread of the Black Death, she looked at this year's financial report budget very depressed, which was less than expected, and the Black Death could not be counted on for two or three years to pass, and the year after tomorrow will definitely not be able to count on Europe and the big food.

We have to find a way to open up sources and reduce expenditure.

Many of the translated books obtained from Da Shi have become textbooks at the university, but they have always been regarded as 'craftsmen', and the mainstream is still the academy that focuses on the imperial examination, such as Heming and Lingde. However, the decline of the European population means that it is more necessary to replace manpower with the help of tools, and the future export of large equipment can start to prepare now.

The recovery of the epidemic area was not an overnight thing, but after the Black Death in the West, the original social structure was broken, and many farmers and traders who were more physically fit and occupied the fields of the dead aristocracy would be promoted to the ranks of the rich. Dayu's side is too far away from capitalism, and it is never so easy to change the dynasty. However, as long as the East is not closed for more than ten years, let alone catching up, at least it will never fall to the point where people can be bullied. There is also the development of the black soil in Northeast China, how the monks of Tibet divided the feuds, the mediation between Siam and the Khmer, how to advance into the Xianbei wilderness, the repositioning of Chenla, Srivijaya, Johor, Java and other places, how to clean up Dongying, etc., and what national plans need to be supported by scientific and technological development. It's just a pity that the plan to open the Suez Canal is not a good time to hire people to do heavy work in the West, where the cost of manpower is so precious. By the way, shouldn't the plan to explore the Americas and Australia also be launched? Wouldn't it be a waste of so much ownerless land, on a first-come, first-served basis, if you don't occupy it?

So, as a 30-year-old 'old' pregnant woman, all she can do is give GL a project!

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

In view of the outbreak of the Black Death in the tenth year of Shenzong, in view of the unsmooth sea trade in the West, under the instructions of Shenzong, the royal fleet and the Andong Army sent two expeditions to prepare to expand the territory to the east and south. In addition to exploring, you also have to occupy the borderless islands along the way as transit supply points. The eastern route will go east from the country of Liugui, along the iceberg frozen sea in the north all the way to the Americas, and the southern route will start from Penghu and go south to Luzon, Johor, Java, and finally to the Australian mainland. Of course, no one else knows about the existence of these two continents except the emperor and queen now, and the purpose of sending people this time is to find them, and then formulate a strategy to determine whether it is necessary to defend such a vast borderland.

As for the natives on the island, Gu Ci's advice is to show goodwill as much as possible and barter. But from the emperor to the people, they all felt that it was a reproduction of the scene of the prosperous Tang Dynasty of 'Kunlun slaves and Silla maids', and also found out the records from historical materials, "south of Annam, cold sea for several months, to Kunlun country, many savages, like black lacquer hair, tempted to eat and captured, sold to the big food country as slaves, and the price is very thick", indicating that the south is the origin of Kunlun slaves. Strong as a cow with a gentle temperament, no language barrier and nowhere to go, and generally have been 'gelding', what a good labor force!

Since the news was published in the newspaper, the whole country has been enthusiastic, and many wealthy families who have become slaves and maids have become hired workers hope to buy in large quantities, and even Xiao Lu and Gu Yao are very interested in the reappearance of Kunlun slaves.

Gu Ci was very anxious, so he had to repeatedly tell Yuan Yi about the relics of the 'Mayan civilization', and tried to treat the civilized natives differently. Fortunately, Yuan Yi couldn't bear her to worry, and agreed that she would make a decision according to the situation and try not to cause bloodshed.

It was Yuan Xian and Cui Fang who went to the Eastern Front, and Professor Xu Hongzu of the Department of Kanyu of Grali University led the team to accompany the ship, and Cui Fang let Shan Gui take over in the army of Kuwu. Professor Xu's disciple Lu Quhai, the youngest son of the prince of De Bo, Xing Chongchong took other senior brothers and went to the southern line with the old partners of Ming Ting and Zhou Ting. For this reason, Lu Quhai deliberately took the word 'Xianting'.

Gu Wenkai, who thought that he could take at least one trip to the eastern front, was kind-hearted, and he was awarded the title of 'Donghai Bu Political Envoy' half a month later, although he was limited to his fellow Jinshi background, only five products, but he ruled Goryeo, Dongying, Ezo and Kuwu four places, and his authority was much greater than that of a city prefect in China. His mansion was located in Hangyong in the Han River valley of Goryeo, renamed Gohan City, and Shan Gui took part of the Andong army to garrison with him, and slowly cleaned up Dongying by the way. Now this long-awaited opportunity to 'expand the territory and leave a name in history' has been snatched away by the stinky and shameless Yuan Xiaobai, and he can only reluctantly join Shan Gui, and send away this group of proud nasty guys with envy and jealousy on Kuwu Island

Hum! I won't freeze you to death!
