Zhao Xing's reform in grain is actually not a reform, but in principle it is called retrogression.

That is to implement the national reserve system and set up reserve granaries in various places, especially in Daiyi.

The Zhou Dynasty already had a reserve system of granaries, and the "Book of Rites" said that those who did not have a good year would not be in place for four years, and the country would not have a reserve for nine years, which would be insufficient, and if it was not stored for six years, it would be urgent, and if it was not stored for three years, the country would not die without a country. It can be seen how much the Zhou people attach importance to the reserve of grain.

Almost all the officials rejoiced at the fact that the lord had suddenly had to store grain again.

At the beginning, these officials did not mention to Zhao Xing the establishment of their own grain reserve system, and at the same time, they all moved out of the "Book of Rites" to convince the lord.

As a result, Zhao Xing's concept has greatly leapt forward with them. His philosophy is to hide the wealth from the people, since the wealth is hidden from the people, what is hidden? According to the representation of wealth in this era, that is food.

Zhao Xing argued with them that storing the grain in the hands of the people themselves would make them more careful and save the government additional economic expenses.

In terms of sophistry, in this era, there are really few opponents of Zhao Xing, even those who are incomparable.

So that debate ended with Zhao Xing's complete victory. Although the officials who failed in the debate finally agreed with the lord's views and practices, although they felt that there was still something wrong, Zhao Xing's territory, Zhao Xing, was in charge, and since everyone couldn't debate, they could only agree.

As a result, this time it suddenly turned around inexplicably, although there was a suspicion of beating himself in the face, but since the Lord has the consciousness of spitting on his face, everyone just can't ask for it.

As a result, this time, everyone really felt that something was wrong with Zhao Xing, because the purpose of these is to reserve and prepare for war, and the other is to raise prices and stimulate the market economy.

"However, I still refuse to implement the tax policy of collecting grain directly from the people, and we must eliminate the possibility of waste and exploitation at this point, and we still collect money from the hands of the people. Then, we set up liquidations in major cities around the world, and then we squatted down to price acquisitions, which I call the market protection price. In the harvest season, we buy grain from the people at a price higher than the market price, and when the harvest is scarce, we release a batch of grain appropriately to stabilize prices, and then ensure that each warehouse has sufficient war reserves. ”

This is a very good half-law, but at the same time, everyone also heard the word war, so they immediately became vigilant.

Yin Qi immediately asked, "Lord, where are we going to fight?" ”

Yin Qi is not from Zhao, so he is disgusted with war.

Zhao Xing stood up to stabilize the army's heart: "Now, there are many places where we should fight, such as Zhongshan, for example, we want to take back my fiefdom Hexi County, and so on." However, now I have decided that even if the enemy takes the initiative to provoke a war, we will take a calming attitude. Three years, three years, we will bury our heads in development, and we will never fight. ”

At this time, everyone finally quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"This year, our first task is to implement this food policy. At the same time, in order to quickly fill the shortage of our granary. Then he said meaningfully: "We must follow the weekly rites of the Book of Rites, and we must store grain for at least four years, otherwise, I will be flustered." ”

The government's purchase of grain is a good policy for the common people to tell each other, but as long as the government handles the storage and sale of such materials, corruption will inevitably occur.

At this point, Zhao Xing was psychologically prepared, and he also took strict precautions, after all, the separation of the family and the country was verbally shouted, but subconsciously, Daijun was his own fiefdom and his own. If the officials embezzle the monarch's mansion, they are equivalent to embezzling themselves, so can they pay it back? see

As a result, Zhao Xing traveled around the country day and night, investigating and secretly arresting thieves who embezzled his money.

Fortunately, people in this era are still ethical, they are not corrupt, but they like to accept gifts. For example, they like to accept gifts from grain merchants, and they rightly believe that since the government treasury needs to store grain, then from the hands of the people, the east and the west, why not directly from the grain merchants to buy large quantities directly, saving time and effort.

Policies are often interpreted in this way.

It's just been done here, and it turns out that the cool officials who bought it have problems again. Although Daijun took Zhao Guo and had the unity of weights and measures, so that the big fights would not go in and out, but the hidden various means, that is called the endless renovation of tricks.

Therefore, Zhao Xing had to set off a battle of wits and courage with the cool officials again.

The Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department is also busy, but unfortunately, this is not a good one.

However, through Zhao Xing's running, he also roughly figured out the current family background, and in general, he was very relieved and satisfied.

However, when Le Yi was full of Zhao Xingzhi, he once again gave Zhao Xing a problem, and now, Le Yi is the maker of these problems.

Le Yi stood in front of the 50,000-strong army and said to Zhao Xing: "We attacked Zhongshan from the north, and we were faced with the passes along the way, and we needed to fight through layer by layer. Then out of Taihang Mountain, you will face the fortified cities built by Zhongshan.

Zhongshan, born in Bai Rong, has strong blood and courage in their bones, and they have learned the technology of building a city in the Central Plains and the method of defending the city. In this way, if we want to completely occupy Zhongshan, we cannot but carry out arduous siege warfare. Then he pointed to the cavalry with expensive equipment: "However, these cavalry are not suitable for siege warfare, and those conscripted infantry are the main force of siege warfare." So, my clever big brother, now, you have a single cavalry that is not good at siege, but you have given the order to no longer recruit levies who are good at siege, that is, you have no more infantry. From now on, you will only be able to see the cities of Zhongshan but not conquer. ”

Then he gloated and looked at Zhao Xing, who was already pale: "I don't know, what will you use to occupy the city of Zhongshan in the future." and not take possession of their cities, and to destroy the kingdom? ”

Zhao Xing was very depressed, and then he lowered his head and walked towards his home: "I wondered, for thousands of years, the nomads of the grassland have occupied the Central Plains several times. They are all cavalry, not as good as my current cavalry, how did they occupy the cities of the Central Plains? ”

But then he was relieved: "The cavalry of the ancient steppe people are all herdsmen who have been temporarily reorganized, they are not as expensive as themselves, their lives are like grass mustard, and they are in the field front, but they are also desperate to attack the city." But Le Yi is right, using my precious cavalry to attack the city is a waste, and I am reluctant. ”

Then he smashed his head while walking, and the sound of jumping made even the inseparable Xu Jie look painful.

"At your own peril, I dissuaded you from abolishing the recruitment system in the first place. Now, those countrymen have happily paid the money for the soldiers. Haha, if you recruit them again, you will be insincere. If the superior is not sincere, your rule will collapse. ”

Zhao Xing asked curiously: "Have you reminded me?" ”

Xu Jie replied proudly: "Didn't I remind you?" ”

Zhao Xing opened his mouth and stammered, it had been too long, and he had forgotten it.

But after returning home, seeing his daughter's adoring gaze at him, Zhao Xing thought that he must be an omnipotent person.

So, he began to meditate, he had to find a solution.
