Zhao Chongyi and Liu Jingyuan looked at Liu Yan and couldn't help asking: "Mother's hatred?" How did we not know? ”

Liu Yan smiled coldly: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already reached an agreement with one person, and when I achieve great things, I will naturally be able to get my wish." ”

Zhao Chongyi thought to himself, this must be a palace secret, hey, it's also a poor baby.

Liu Yan continued: "However, since I arrived in Jiangnan and became the governor of the three provinces, I have seen more people's feelings, and I feel that it is too difficult to achieve our wishes. Now that the gap between the rich and the poor is so big, there is only so much land in our Dachu, and the land is in the hands of rich businessmen and officials, and the people have no land in their hands. ”

Liu Jingyuan said: "Do you think the emperor doesn't know about this problem? But what's the solution? It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. ”

Zhao Chongyi's heart moved, and he couldn't help but repeat what Chen Wenhui said at the beginning.

Liu Yan and Liu Jingyuan were stunned for a while, and Liu Jingyuan laughed and said: "Wen Hui is really a genius, I have to say, what she said is very reasonable." In fact, we have already experienced these things in Jiangnan. There is also little land in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of it is in the hands of landlords. Some of these landlords are officials, some are small families, some are wealthy businessmen, and some are directly ordinary people, hardworking and capable, saving money and saving money for several lifetimes. With such a land, how can you say that people are not good? But the land is in the hands of these people, and naturally the people will go hungry. Later, the sea trade began, and the Chen family was in charge of Huzhou because Chen Yuanheng was in charge of Huzhou, so they were the first to persuade people to go overseas. Some of those who went to the first batch went to the Wa Kingdom. Some went to Yizhou Island. After going to the Wa Kingdom, the people of Yizhou Island have made some money after so many years. They returned to Gangnam. Take your relatives and friends over to live. The people said, "Overseas." The land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a lot of land, but most of it is uncultivated wasteland, as long as you borrow money from the bank and survive the first year of reclamation, you can lay a lot of grain in the second year, and you can not only repay the loan. You can also develop more land, and some of them have good families, and they bring money with them, and they don't need to borrow money, they can develop it directly, and they can also buy slaves, or hire people to farm, and after the first year, they can get rich in the second year. I know a small landowner. The family only has more than 400 acres of land, but in fact, it is okay to live. However, he is greedy and lustful. After marrying a few concubines, the natural expenses will be large, but the sons are all born, this son is big, he is worried, four or five sons, if it is a share of land, then his family business can not be more than 400 acres, it will become 100 acres. Even less, seeing that the ancestral property is going to be reduced. Moreover, the son of the concubine was unwilling. I don't want to divide the family property, and I make a lot of trouble. He had no choice, and when he was anxious, he heard that the Chen family was recruiting people to go to Nanyang, so he took out some money and gave some money to the four sons who came out, and gave some servants to send these sons to Yizhou Island. These sons, in Yizhou Island, are buying land, hiring people to farm, and their own families are also farming, so two years down, some time ago, I heard that the sons of their family are rich, and they want to go home and take their aunts back to Yizhou Island to enjoy happiness? made the old man old, but there were no more concubines. ”

Liu Yan and Zhao Chongyi laughed.

Liu Jingyuan said: "It is also the sons of those concubines who are familiar with each other on weekdays and have more contact with banks, so when they arrived on Yizhou Island, they not only used their father's money to buy land, but they also boldly took out loans to buy land." In this way, they started faster than others, and in two years, each person already has a big village with more than 2,000 acres of land. Among them, the third child is even more shrewd, he already has more than 3,000 acres of land, and he also bought a shop with a loan in Xinguang City, sitting in business, not to mention how prosperous his life is, and he is far compared to the eldest brother. is really a return to his hometown and killed the eldest brother who came out of the country. The old man was happy when he came, and his sons were all out of the way, but he was also worried, and now the aunts and aunts relied on their sons to be richer than him, so naturally they didn't take him to heart as a bad old man, so that he had no one to serve. ”

Liu Yan also said with a smile: "This kind of thing, when I was in Jiangnan, I often heard that those who became rich first often returned to the township, first, to return to their hometowns, and secondly, to bring more people, and now the land prices in Jiangnan have dropped." ”

Liu Jingyuan said: "Yes, an acre of land in the south of the Yangtze River costs more than ten taels of silver, if there is a thousand acres of land, sell this, take the money, and you can buy more than 10,000 acres of land on Yizhou Island, which is not equivalent to a tenfold increase in wealth, but it is a little harder in the two years of reclamation, but after two years of hard work, the property has increased tenfold, or even more than ten times, which of those rich people is unwilling." Therefore, everyone is competing to sell land, and the price of land in Jiangnan has been declining. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "It can be seen that these problems are not unsolvable. It's just that Wen Hui said that in the future, when Yizhou Island is used, the land in the South Seas will be used up, and there will be other continents, and when these are also used up, there will still be a situation like today. But it could be hundreds or even millennia from now. ”

Liu Yan smiled: "Can we live another hundred years?" We have no way to do anything in a hundred years, let alone a thousand years? ”

Zhao Chongyi also smiled.

Liu Jingyuan continued: "In addition to this method of going overseas to get land, I think what Wen Hui said about developing industry and commerce is also very reasonable. Don't we have a deep understanding in Jiangnan? ”

Liu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, back then, when we were in disaster relief, I had a deep understanding. Originally, it was a very tragic thing for the people to suffer a disaster, not only did the people have no way to live, but the government also had no tax revenue. However, you see, at that time, we took the opportunity of disaster relief to promote new species and loans, which suddenly increased the tax revenue of Heyangzhou, Huzhou, and Suzhou. In the next few years, the people not only changed the loans, but also thoroughly understood the benefits of the new seeds, and now Jiangnan is the best area for the promotion of new seeds, producing a lot of grain and cotton. Especially in Huzhou, the life of the people has become better than that of the people in the capital. It is to have clothes to wear and food to eat. If only the people of the world could be like the people in Jiangnan. ”

Liu Jingyuan said: "Yes, when I went to Deqing, I saw that there were people, men and women were working in the workshop during the slack time, and they usually had to farm the land, but the family worked harder, and the money earned could buy two acres of land in a few years, and there was no need to farm other people's land." That's a good life. ”

Liu Yan said: "Because industry and commerce have also developed, there are more workshops, so the people can go to work, can plough the fields, although they are tired, but they have more money in their hands, they can eat enough, they can wear warm, this is the change." ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "I don't know much about this, but I know that over the years, the officials of the imperial court have been busy with political party disputes, and only Chen Yuanheng's family is thinking about how to contribute to the imperial court and how to improve the lives of the people." You see, their family has provided disaster relief twice, developed the economy, and made Huzhou rich and prosperous, becoming a land of fish and rice. There is also the development of sea trade, so that the country is rich and strong, if there is no money earned by the sea trade in Shanghai City, where can our Northwest Army win the war, if the Chen family does not have the support of Shanghai City's money and grain, it is impossible to contain the barbarians for so many years, it has fought several big victories, and expanded the land for thousands of miles. ”

Liu Yan couldn't help but think of the girl she had always liked, and said, "Yes, it would be nice to have more people like Chen Yuanheng's family." If I am in power, I will definitely appoint Chen Yuanheng as the prime minister to develop industry and commerce and maritime trade. ”

Liu Jingyuan said: "But, King Jin, this is not such a good development. Have you forgotten our experience in Gangnam? To develop industry and commerce, those Confucian scholars were very disgusted, saying that the fields were barren. And to carry out maritime trade, if everyone can build a city overseas, isn't it the same as occupying the king? How can we rule in Da Chu? Then it's not about expanding the territory, it's about creating enemies one by one. ”

Liu Yan suddenly frowned. Zhao Chongyi laughed, and Liu Yan asked, "Chongyi, what are you laughing at?" ”

Zhao Chongyi said with a smile: "If the emperor of Great Chu can't even accommodate an overseas city, and he is afraid of this and that, then how can he rule the whole world?" ”

In a word, Liu Yan's pride suddenly rose.

Liu Yan said: "Actually, the question about this issue is the same as the question about the four major families. My father and the successive emperors of our Liu family are very wary of the four major families, but I don't approve of this. You see, Emperor Guanglie established five major families, and it was precisely because of the protection of these five families that the Great Qin of the previous dynasty was able to persist in ruling for more than 400 years. What kind of rule has it been for more than 400 years? The emperors of the winners are all the best, I don't think there are so many ridiculous emperors in all dynasties and dynasties gathered together. There are also a few wise emperors in the middle, but there are too few, and in general, they are all dark reigns, but in such a situation, the winner can still hold out for four hundred years, which has a lot to do with the defense of the five major families. ”

Liu Jingyuan nodded.

Liu Yan said: "But, you see, the emperor of our Liu family has been guarding against the four major families since he got the world, but what is the result of prevention? The iron wall can't stop the pace of the barbarians, and our Central Plains has been harassed. And, is it really blocked? Isn't the harem still full of women from the four major families? Aren't the courtiers of the previous dynasty still being co-opted by the people of the four major families? So, I think, it's better not to be able to prevent it. (To be continued)
