After listening to Jia Quan's words, Huang Qiong fell silent. As for his original Chen, what kind of attitude the old man would have, he is really not sure now. Huang Qiong asked himself if he was not a very open-minded person, the old man's words that provoked the relationship between him and the prince that day were reprehensible, Huang Qiong still remembers it quite clearly.

If the follow-up is really like what Jia Quan expected. If you hand it over, the consequences are really unpredictable, and you will even be implicated. I've never been in contact with politics, and I really underestimated the articles in it. The book says it is the book, but the reality is the reality.

The old man gave himself an errand for the first time, and he really carried himself away. really regarded the old man as an enterprising reformer, but he forgot the old man's conservatism. It is better to believe in books than to have no books, and the ancients really did not deceive me. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong was even a little suspicious of the real intention behind the errand that the emperor gave him.

After being silent for a long time, Huang Qiong smiled bitterly: "Then according to Mr. Wang's opinion, what should we do about this matter?" This matter was personally explained by the old man, and we can't fool the old man with such a pinching of the head and the end. Besides, with the shrewdness of the old man, it is difficult to fool him. ”

Regarding Huang Qiong's concerns, Jia Quan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, our revised article Chen is not a pinching of the head and the end." It's just a matter of delaying the war and changing things to a step-by-step approach. Lord, at this time, it is probably the most taboo thing for the emperor. ”

"Right, it's still the same sentence. In the past two years, the emperor's administration has been mainly based on seeking stability. It is difficult for the emperor to accept the big fight. On the contrary, this kind of slow simmering is in line with the emperor's policy. Therefore, it is easier to pass this amendment to the emperor. If you are really unwilling, then add the spread into the mu and the ban on opening the sea. ”

"Lord Wang, you also have to experience the emperor's holy will. The emperor's move is nothing more than two ideas, one is to solve the increasing scarcity of imperial court revenue, and the other is to alleviate the contradictions between the people and the court caused by the general trend of the clan encroaching on the people's land. When the emperor made this decision, I am afraid that he has already made a careful investigation into the number of displaced people in the world due to the occupation of people's land. ”

"There are more and more displaced people, not only will the Ding silver of the imperial court not be able to collect it, but once these displaced people gather in the mountains and forests, I am afraid that it will cause local turmoil. Once this situation occurs, I am afraid that the imperial court is trying to find a way to suppress it, not only disrupting the deployment of the imperial court in terms of military strength, but also creating an opportunity for the Northern Liao to enter the Kou. In terms of military spending, I am afraid that it will take a large amount of expenditure to maintain it. ”

"Although the emperor said that in his governance, he mainly sought stability. But if you want to underestimate the emperor's vision, then you really look at the emperor wrongly. Conservatism does not necessarily mean short-sightedness. In fact, on some issues, the emperor understands better than anyone else. But as the king of a country, the emperor must consider things comprehensively. ”

"It is estimated that the emperor is now considering transferring the princes back to the capital, and the sub-feudal system is the Yulu system. It's just that this determination will take a long time. After all, this kind of change of the ancestral system is impossible for the emperor to make a decision immediately. The emperor's side now needs a support, even if it is nominal support. ”

"This is also the right, I hope you will add this, and even take the lead yourself in proposing the abolition of Yongyetian and the change to the Yulu system when necessary. But there is one point, the prince must not propose to abolish the sub-feudal system. Even if the emperor thinks so, you must not bring it up. In a word, the feudal territory is going to go, and the Yulu system can take the lead in implementing it. ”

"Abolish the feudal system, this can only be mentioned by the emperor. Because you are also a prince, you stay in the capital and don't want to go to the domain, what do you think? Once this matter is brought up through your mouth, it is either private or private, and it is not public or public. Therefore, whether you are in the article or in the face of the saint, you can only propose to change the system, and you must not mention anything else. ”

Regarding the emperor's true intention to hand over this errand to his master at this time, Jia Quan roughly guessed the emperor's thoughts. It's just that some of these ideas, Jia Quan is still a little unsure. At least he wouldn't exaggerate that the emperor gave his master an errand and thought that the emperor had the idea of Yi Chu.

After many years of wandering life in the capital, although he was unable to make friends with dignitaries and dignitaries, some lower-level officials that Jia Quan came into contact with also gave him a certain understanding of the emperor's character and personality, especially the policies and strategies of governance. Again, among the people he came into contact with, although there were no important ministers with power to lean towards the government and the opposition, there was no shortage of well-informed people.

As the saying goes, there are seven officials in front of the prime minister. Although they are also minions, they are still different from minions. A personal servant of a first- and second-rank official in the DPRK knows even more things than some sixth- and seventh-rank officials. Even if they don't know the core secrets, some gossip can be grasped faster than anyone else.

Especially when some minions compare with each other, as long as you have the heart, you can master a lot of useful things. Jia Quan is different from his father, who is dedicated to fame, as early as after his father failed for the first time, he died of the idea of entering the official career through the imperial examination. He is a good sword and goes sideways, which means going sideways.

Since he had this mind, he didn't put too much energy into reading at all. After arriving in the capital, he put more thought into deliberately making friends with some people. Carefully pondered the character of the current emperor, as well as the guidelines and policies of the past years.

I can't help but say that this guy still has a certain talent in this area. Although he has not been in the capital for a few years, through his deliberate acquaintances, he has met a large number of officials who are not expected by the central yamen. The news obtained from their mouths figured out the thoughts of Huang Qiong, the emperor Laozi.

Of course, after all, he was in the opposition, and he couldn't get in touch with this emperor at all. can only be scrutinized through the lower-level officials he has befriended, some of the tone revealed, or some evaluation of the emperor's governance. It's not easy to do this.

Jia Quan's thoughts, Huang Qiong naturally couldn't see it. It's just that after Jia Quan finished saying this, Huang Qiong said: "Sir, according to what you said, it is useless for the imperial court to impose the maximum land rent, and to abolish the Zhulu Craftsman's Governor's Mansion and allow craftsmen to open their own workshops. This can't be offended, that can't afford to offend, whether these things are or not is useless. ”

Seeing that Huang Qiong was somewhat depressed, Jia Quan pondered for a while and said, "Lord Wang, it's better to keep these two items." The mandatory stipulation of the maximum land rent, although it is not enough to make up for the imperial court's annual income, is in line with the emperor's second thought. Alleviate the contradictions between the clan and the common people, which have become increasingly acute at present. ”

"As for the abolition of the Governor's Mansion of the Craftsmen of the Roads, in fact, it doesn't matter whether these things are dissolved or not. Lord Wang, the mansion set up by this dynasty is actually only made of ironware, papermaking, and some imperial products. Since the founding of the country, the iron tools of this dynasty have been sold by the government, and the private sector is not allowed to operate them by themselves. ”

"As long as the craftsmen who make weapons, armor, and ** are controlled in their hands, the rest of them make hoes, sickles, plowshares, etc., and the people have already had their own workshops. It is papermaking, and there are also many folk workshops. Even the paper produced is much more exquisite than that of the government-run workshop. ”

"This mansion of the craftsmen of all roads has not only failed to play the role of the beginning of the founding of the country, but has become a profit-making place for some officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households. The dissolution of the Zhulu Craftsman Governor's Office is at most to offend some officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, which does not matter. ”

Speaking of this, Jia Quan looked at Huang Qiong's somewhat unpleasant face, and adjusted his wording slightly before he spoke again: "Lord Wang, thinking about the people of the world, he always wants to cut through the chaos quickly, and wants to deal with this matter in the shortest possible time. It is natural that the right to give justice to the people of the world is clear. ”

"But Lord Wang, the ancients ruled a big country like cooking a small fresh, and this sentence is not without purpose. As a person in a higher position, he thinks about things in every move and decides that he can't act rashly. The prince is full of history books, and if he wants to hurry, he can't reach it, and there is no need to tell the prince about this truth. Being more stable, separating everything, and doing it step by step, is the fundamental way to solve the problem. ”

"Now it has been more than 100 years since the founding of the country, and after more than 100 years of reproduction, the clan is now flourishing. Quan looked at the file, and as of last year, the number of sects in the world had reached more than 10,000. Although these more than 10,000 people have no power and no soldiers, after all, where is their status? ”

"Even if the emperor is strong-willed, when he solves these people, he has to throw a rat trap. If you take the method of redemption, the right or that sentence will not work at all. It's not just that the imperial court can't come up with such a large amount of money at the moment, and even if it can come up with it, it can't be solved through this method. ”

"Even if it is solved by this means, I am afraid that the imperial court will be greatly damaged in a few years. Lord, the imperial court is not only responsible for the salaries of the officials and the army, but also the salaries of the officials. There are also river works of the Yellow River and Huai River, and the maintenance and repair of the Great Wall. When the price of rice is low, it is necessary to allocate a large amount of money to purchase grain, so as not to hurt the peasants. ”

"When the price of rice is high, we have to sell some grain at a fair price to balance the price of food. It is also necessary to prepare food for the possibility of famine at any time. If all the money is spent on this place, judging by the amount of land currently in the hands of the clan, the imperial court will not do anything. ”

Therefore, through redemption, not only can not solve the problem, but it is easy to have more problems. As for how to solve this problem, the meaning of the right remains the same, or in a word, it is unprofitable for these clans to hoard land, which is the best way to solve the problem. ”

"Lord Wang, a moment of radicalism can certainly cut through the mess quickly, but it is easier to produce more problems. Even if these problems do not erupt for a while, once they accumulate, they may be uncontrollable when they really erupt. Slowly and slowly, step by step, is the way to solve the problem. ”

Regarding Jia Quan's words, Huang Qiong has not answered. The door of the study was suddenly opened, and at the same time, there was an extremely familiar applause from Huang Qiong: "Okay, it's well said, the analysis is extremely thorough, this is what Lao Cheng said about the country." Joan, you're still a little too young. ”

Huang Qiong, who was awakened by this voice, hurriedly looked up and saw that his emperor Lao Tzu didn't know when, and he had already stood at the door of the study. And from the applause of his emperor Lao Tzu, it can be heard that he has heard a lot of things outside the door.
