Once the alliance with Liang Fuchen is formed, Zhao Junchen gets a strong ally, which will be much more convenient in many things, but at the same time, as the cooperation between the two sides deepens, many of Zhao Junchen's things and plans will inevitably be seen and guessed by Liang Fuchen, and after Liang Fuchen knows Zhao Junchen's affairs and plans, it is equivalent to Emperor Deqing knowing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, Zhao Junchen has always regarded Liang Fuchen as the representative of Emperor Deqing, and has always been on guard, many times Zhao Junchen seems to be frank, but he just wants to convey some of his thoughts to Emperor Deqing through Liang Fuchen, for example, Zhao Junchen told Liang Fuchen about his future goals at the banquet, that is, he wanted to show Emperor Deqing that his ambition was only here, and he wanted to make Emperor Deqing feel at ease.

From this point of view, the disadvantages after forming an alliance with Liang Fuchen may not be able to turn into benefits, so that Zhao Junchen can convey some true or false information to Emperor Deqing through Liang Fuchen, but he needs to be careful and cautious, after all, Liang Fuchen is by no means a person who is easy to fool.

However, before preventing the drawbacks of the alliance, Zhao Junchen first enjoyed the benefits of the alliance.

At the court meeting the next day, with the great eunuch Zhang De's "something to play early and nothing to retreat from the court", Zhao Junchen once again came out of the list.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play!"

Seeing Zhao Junchen's statement, Emperor Deqing looked helpless and shook his head lightly, but still said: "Zhao Aiqing has something to say." ”

Zhao Junchen's expression was serious, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, the autumn harvest is coming soon, and after the autumn harvest is the autumn planting, which is the most important period for private farmers, and the autumn grain collection of the imperial court during this period is also related to the overall situation of the imperial court for the whole year in the future!" But now, the support of the frontier military towns, the relief of disasters in various places, and the consumption of soldiers' salaries and salaries have made the imperial court's grain storage more and more embarrassing.

However, the imperial court attaches great importance to the collection of autumn grain every year, but the amount of grain collected is still decreasing year after year, and I am afraid that this year is not optimistic! The minister believes that this is also the reason why the people are indeed also short of food! In order to reverse the dilemma of food shortage between the court and the people, the minister believes that the agricultural reform is imminent! ”

Seeing that Zhao Junchen was still grasping the matter of agricultural rectification, the officials habitually planned to refute it one after another.

However, Zhao Junchen's next words made them stunned.

I saw Zhao Junchen continue: "Your Majesty, the minister believes that Jiangnan and Huguang and other places have always been the primary places for the imperial court to collect grain, and the people in these two places must not be allowed to blindly cultivate tea, cotton and other crops.

In addition, the imperial court also needed to allocate 300,000 taels of silver for the construction of irrigation facilities in various places! In this way, by the time of next year, the grain production in various parts of the imperial court can increase by about one percent, although it is not much, but it can always slightly alleviate the dilemma of food shortage in the imperial court, and the ability to resist natural disasters has also been enhanced a lot. ”

Zhao Junchen's previous agricultural reform plans were often very radical, not only requiring the southern peasant households to completely abandon the cultivation of tea, cotton and other things, and most of the arable land to grow grain, but also requiring the imperial court to allocate at least 700,000 taels of silver to build irrigation and water conservancy facilities in various places.

But now, Zhao Junchen only asked the people to use forty percent of the cultivated land for cultivating grain, although he also asked the imperial court to allocate money to build irrigation and water conservancy facilities, but the figure was reduced to 300,000 taels!

Such compromises and concessions are not insignificant!

"Zhao Junchen is finally enlightened?"

For a while, such thoughts flashed in the hearts of the officials.

However, the officials still did not intend to agree to Zhao Junchen's proposal!

Today, the land annexation of the Ming Dynasty has been very serious, at least more than seventy percent of the land in the south of the Yangtze River has fallen into the hands of the big landlords, and the ministers in the Imperial Palace are not only the spokesmen of the big landlords, they are also one of the big landlords! Zhao Junchen's request for forty percent of the arable land to be used to grow food is still harming the interests of everyone! Although the benefits of this damage are not much, it is still damage!

In addition, the irrigation and water conservancy facilities in various places are already perfect enough in the eyes of the officials, and it is a waste in the eyes of the officials to spend 300,000 taels to enhance them!

As a result, the officials adhered to the idea of not giving an inch, and they still came out to refute one after another!

However, this time is different from the past, Zhao Junchen has already made up his mind to pass the agricultural reform plan as soon as possible, and naturally he will no longer argue with the officials alone as before, so the "Zhao Party" everyone under Zhao Junchen's hint also came out to express their support, so the palace of the emperor suddenly quarreled!

Just the support of the "Zhao Party" officials is naturally not enough to suppress the opposition of the officials, but Liang Fuchen is also on Zhao Junchen's side at this time, and his attitude is firmly expressed his support, and now Liang Fuchen has initially established the prestige of the cabinet elders, and everyone knows that Liang Fuchen is the hardcore confidant of Emperor Deqing, and Liang Fuchen's attitude may be the attitude of Emperor Deqing, and it is inevitable that there are some scruples.

So, the situation is not one-sided.

In the end, because of the support of Liang Fuchen, the hundred officials agreed to the proposal of the imperial court to allocate 200,000 taels of silver to build irrigation and water conservancy facilities in various places, but they still resolutely opposed the matter of planting grain in forty percent of the cultivated land in various parts of the Yangtze River.

As a result, the situation remains deadlocked.

At this moment, Zhou Shangjing, who had always avoided talking about agricultural reform, suddenly came out of the list.

As Zhou Shangjing stepped out of the ranks, the officials stopped arguing and quietly listened to Zhou Shangjing's opinions.

I saw Zhou Shangjing said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has never supported Lord Zhao's agricultural reform plan in the past, because Lord Zhao's previous agricultural reform plan was too radical, and most of the cultivated land must be cultivated for grain, but tea, fruits, cotton and other things are also indispensable and important materials, once it is implemented in accordance with Lord Zhao's proposal, tea, fruits, cotton and other things will inevitably be in short supply, and then prices will skyrocket, and in the end, the people will suffer!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Shangjing changed his words and said: "However, Lord Zhao's new proposal is no longer so radical, just forty percent of the arable land will be replaced by growing food, although the supply of tea, cotton and other things will be reduced, and the price will increase a lot, but the people can still afford it, and the grain reserves of the court and the people can increase a lot, which is the best of both worlds!" Therefore, the old minister supports Lord Zhao's agricultural reform plan this time! ”

After hearing Zhou Shangjing's statement, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing why Zhou Shangjing changed his position.

But everyone knew that Zhou Shangjing would never be untargeted, and they were all secretly thinking about Zhou Shangjing's statement.

Then, many smart people immediately found the key sentence in Zhou Shangjing's words - when the cultivation of fruits, cotton, tea and other things is reduced by 40%, the price of these crops will increase!

There is no doubt that if Zhao Junchen's agricultural reform plan is passed by the court, the first people to be affected must be ordinary people, who have no backing and no money to bribe the government, so they can only abide by the imperial decrees, give up the cultivation of tea, cotton, fruits and other things, and turn to grow grain.

That is to say, after the cultivation of fruits, cotton, tea, and other things is reduced by 40 percent, the magnates and landlords will not be greatly affected, they only need to replace one or two percent of the arable land with grain planting, and deal with it a little.

However, although they have lost one or two percent of the output of fruits, cotton, tea and other things, the price of these crops will increase by two or three percent due to changes in supply and demand! In this way, the magnates and landlords will not only not suffer losses, but their interests will increase a lot!

The world is bustling, all for profit! The world is crowded, all for profit!

Under Zhou Shangjing's reminder, after the officials found that their interests would not only not be lost, but would increase, the officials immediately changed their attitude!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Zhao said is reasonable, the predicament of the imperial court must be reversed, and the cultivation of fruits, cotton and other things by the common people must be restricted!"

"Your Majesty, the ministers also support Lord Zhao's agricultural reform plan, most of the people are short-sighted, they only see a little silver, and the court must guide and control it!"

"Your Majesty, what Elder Zhou Ge said is reasonable, Lord Zhao's proposal is indeed a two-way street!"

"Your Majesty......"

Suddenly, the hundred officials who had just fiercely refuted Zhao Junchen's agricultural reform plan changed their positions without any hesitation, forgetting their previous opposition and becoming staunch supporters of Zhao Junchen's agricultural reform plan!

In the end, the agricultural reform plan, which had been debated for many days, was quickly passed with the unanimous support of hundreds of officials.

However, after the next dynasty, Zhao Junchen did not have any happiness, but had a serious expression.

Because of Zhou Shangjing's sideways, Zhao Junchen's plan was successful, but it also failed!

According to Zhao Junchen's original idea, every household in the south of the Yangtze River took out forty percent of the arable land to grow food, whether it was a powerful landlord or an ordinary family! But because of Zhou Shangjing's sideways, ordinary people will be greatly affected, but the powerful landlords will not have much impact!

In this way, although the agricultural reform plan was successfully passed, Zhao Junchen will inevitably be scolded by the people of Jiangnan!

From this aspect, Zhou Shangjing calculated Zhao Junchen once, not only to hit Zhao Junchen's reputation, but also to sell a favor to hundreds of officials!

However, Zhou Shangjing seemed to take advantage, but after all, he didn't know what kind of harm the Xiaoice period would cause next! I asked the people to give up planting fruits, tea, cotton and other things, and turn to cultivating food, not only to reverse the dilemma of food shortage in the imperial court, but also because most of the fruits, cotton and other things are not cold-resistant, once the temperature drops, the crops will freeze to death in large numbers, and then the people will suffer heavy losses, now because of Zhou Shangjing's proposal, the people can only cultivate grain, and the planting of fruits, cotton and other things is concentrated in the land of the magnates and landlords, as long as there are several large-scale cooling in the future, the magnates and landlords will not be able to laugh, and the people benefited, and at that time, my reputation was naturally reversed! ”

If you think about it this way, Zhao Junchen is not a loss.

After the court meeting ended, when Zhao Junchen stepped out of the Imperial Palace, he thought of this, and Zhao Junchen's complexion finally improved slightly!

Well, the second update!
