The officials of the family who followed Kou Zhun slowly became timid, they didn't expect the attitude of the official family to be so resolute, this is an unprecedented resignation since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, even if the Taizu Taizong period has not experienced it, but the young official family can withstand such pressure, it is really unthinkable to them.

At this time, Wang Sui followed Kou Zhun closely, raised his head and said: "The official family has also seen it, we really have no place to stand in the court, and the official family is about to change the law, as courtiers, of course, we must adhere to the law of our ancestors, and resigning from the official position is the last resort!" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, Wang Sui's words were right, there was almost no possibility of reconciliation between the conservative family officials and the changes he was about to implement, they had to insist on their own interests, and they had to consider the future of the Great Song Dynasty, either compromise or resist.

Zhao Zhen is an official family, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor can not compromise This is a well-known fact, and the officials of the family can only resist and use their resignation to admonish.

"Excellent! I understand what you mean, but what's the point of doing that? I don't understand! You know that I will not compromise, but what is the point of threatening me with resignation? ”

Zhao Zhen's words suddenly made the officials stuck, yes! Everyone knows that the character of the official family will not be compromised, even if it is admonished, what is the use?

Wang Sui and Kou Zhun glanced at each other, and the two of them seemed to have made a lot of determination and nodded: "This is just a bargaining chip for trading with the official family, if the official family wants to change the law, we will also support the official family, but please keep the existing land of our family......"

Zhao Zhen opened his mouth in surprise: "Did you take the wrong medicine or what?" So many people resigned just for the land that their families had annexed? ”

Obviously, Zhao Zhen's surprise was unexpected by the officials of the family, in their opinion, the officials would refuse with righteous words, and even scold, but no surprised expression would appear in any case.

Kou Zhun said tentatively: "The land is the last reliance for the family, if it is lost, it is equivalent to having no way out, and even the capital to make a comeback is gone." ”

His words are right, the reason why the ancients attached so much importance to the land was because they had to rely on the grain in the field to eat, and with the surplus grain, they could exchange it for money to buy other things.

Even though factories have begun to rise under Zhao Zhen's small experiments, land as the main economic source still occupies an important position in people's hearts, and people basically live by relying on the sky and the earth for food.

And land is also a symbol of rights, at this time the Great Song Dynasty is private ownership of land, that is to say, how much land, how much local right to rule, the ancients for the land is "not an inch of land".

Some wealthy families even have a county area on their land, and the local officials dare not offend them, and even need their support to manage the local people and collect taxes.

It is no exaggeration to say that the wealthy family is the emperor of the soil in the local area, anyway, the emperor is far away, even if the hands of the imperial court are long, they can't reach their heads.

Zhao Zhen thought about it for a while, and then he made their thoughts clear, and said with a smile: "I will never touch the land in your hands, these lands are your own and private, not only will I not move, but I will also protect your land!" ”

Wow~ The ministers kneeling on the ground were stunned, they didn't expect the official family to agree so happily, which made their previous preparations like punching into the cotton without strength, and many people showed ashamed looks, and slowly some people stood up and left with their heads down, from threes and threes to groups of twos.

Under the scorching gaze of the officials, Kou Zhun and Wang Sui were not easy to stop.

Sancai sneered at this farce on the side, these bastards actually dared to embarrass the official family, and they didn't look at their own identity, the official family pinched you to death is as simple as pinching an ant to death, even if the ants are grouped?

It's just ants!

Sancai stood at the door of the side hall and wrote down everyone who participated in the admonition, in case the official family wants to settle accounts after the autumn, he might as well be prepared, right?

Wang Sui didn't believe that the official family would be so kind, he had previously found out from Wang Zeng the official family's aversion to land annexation and the form that must be cracked down, but the official family in front of him had changed his style to protect his land, which made Wang Sui, who had been in politics for many years, mention twelve points of caution.

The reason why Zhao Zhen said this is because he has the confidence that the Huguang Plain, the grain base of later generations, has not been developed in this era, and even the Jinghu South Road near Dongting Lake is a barren Lingnan land, so you can imagine how much land there is in the Great Song Dynasty at this time.

Zhao Zhen's best way to crack down on the family's land annexation is not to engage in large-scale development, but to make food and land relatively less important, and when the business prosperity reaches a certain level, the domestic market of the Great Song Dynasty is slowly saturated, and the factories that produce too many goods will consciously find a way for the factories with overcapacity, where is the best place?

Of course, it is a foreign country with a lot of people and money......

The best way to go abroad is not to go to the Western Regions, because the passage to there is monopolized by the party, then the only way to go is to take the sea route, and taking the sea route will inevitably promote the development of ocean trade and shipbuilding technology, and the prelude to the great voyage will be opened unconsciously, as long as you can pass through the Kuril Islands along the coastline and go north to see the bridge connecting the new world Bering Strait!

The fleets that arrived in the Americas would bring back potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, tomatoes, onions, and other crops that were surprisingly large and easy to feed, and by the time the land would have broken the population ceiling, and the agriculture of the Great Song Dynasty had reached the point where it could domesticate and detoxify new species.

Not enough land? The land in the south is full of lazy people, the land is fertile but they don't know how to cultivate, and even have the habit of turning their faces and not recognizing people, that self-defense counterattack made Zhao Zhen see through the shamelessness of the Yue people, and the fertile land should be left to the kind and hard-working Chinese people to plant!

At that time, will the grain in Guanzhong still be worth it? What is land when food is worthless?

Farmers can go to the city to work to support themselves, and the current Kaifeng Province is a good example, and factories have sprung up all over the city outside of Tokyo, and various industries have sprung up.

As long as Wang Weiwei and the others returned, he would announce in the court that the large-scale development of the Xiangjun army organized by the government would turn the Lianghu Basin into a big granary to lure the people, so that more people would move to the Huguang Plain in the south, if the land was not enough...... Then hit the attention of the Yue people in the south, there will always be a way!

Zhao Zhen slowly stood up and walked towards Kou Zhun and Wang Sui: "The two ministers get up quickly, to be honest, I don't look down on your land!" I now tell you that I will not take back your land, but you two will be punished for taking the lead, otherwise what will I do with my face? ”

Wang Sui was already shaking like chaff, originally he thought that the official family would be suppressed by the civil officials, but who would have thought that the official family would unexpectedly resolve the threat and dismantle the entire admonition team, and in the end, only himself and Kou Zhun stayed.

Zhao Zhen smiled and helped Kou Zhun up and said, "I'm tired of Kou Xianggong this time!" You should resign when you are old, if I am not allowed, I really don't want to go, if there are talented and skilled juniors in the family, I will recommend it, after all, Kou Xiang's achievements are obvious to all! ”

Kou Zhun smiled bitterly and looked at Zhao Zhen in front of him, and then glanced at Wang Sui, who was glaring at him on the ground: "Old minister, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Wang Sui closed his eyes in despair, it turned out that all this was arranged by the official family and Kou Laoxi!

Only I am still in the dark!

Laughing miserably, Wang Sui couldn't help but say: "The official family is really a good means, and they can actually turn over the clouds and cover the rain!" The old minister admires! ”

Zhao Zhen sneered: "Don't be in a hurry to admire, I will spare your life, but I will not bypass the Sanhuai Wang clan, and from now on, the children of the Sanhuai Wang clan will not be allowed to enter the ranks!" ”

Wang Sui's face changed, this is cutting off the future of his Wang Sui in his Sanhuai Wang clan! This also means that he is about to decline and decay, and he knows that in order to firmly control the land in his hands, someone must gain a foothold in the court, and the family's land without protection is equivalent to a lamb into the wolves.
