The court has already become an extremely accustomed job for Ganqi, so he got up early in the morning to wash and dress, and walked to the left door with the wat board to stand and wait.

It's just that now no one can stand in front of Gan Qi anymore, and Gan Qi, who has nothing to do, will look back from time to time, look at the dozens or hundreds of people behind him, and then squint slightly, and yawn in his mouth.

Obviously, Gan Qi was not in a good mental state, and he didn't do anything "bad" last night, but discussed it with a group of people for a long time, and it was also to prepare for today's court meeting.

When the chamberlain and guard opened the left door, Gan Qi patted his yawn with his hand and walked inside.

This imperial city, the sun sets, more than a hundred years, still standing, the emperor has changed a few terms, these emperors have not yet appeared any really unlearned and unskilled faint monarchs, one is more diligent than the other, Zhao Ji naturally does not need to say.

There was some shade in the vertical arch hall, and Gan Qi went straight to the front and led many officials to greet the emperor.

Next, the emperor is going to listen to the music, this is a little something, that is a little thing, and there is a discussion and discussion.

After everyone else had said about it, Wang Anshi stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to propose an innovative strategy today." ”

"Come on!" The emperor is now familiar with the court.

"Please open the sea, encourage the people to go to the sea to make a living, open up the territory, open up the wasteland to grow grain!" Wang Anshi said this, apparently arranged by Gan Qi last night.

The reason for this arrangement was also to anticipate that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would inevitably be in an uproar, and sure enough, there was a buzz in the court.

Why didn't Ganchi bring it up himself? Because he knew that he was going to fight in the ring, and that he was going to fight in the ring, Ganchi couldn't go down and fight in person, lest he directly become the opposite of many people.

What Gan Qi has to do is the referee after careful consideration and consideration, so that Gan Qi will not become the opposite of a certain part of the people, and Wang Anshi is the opposite of these people.

When Gan Qi heard this, he also pretended to be a little surprised and looked at Wang Anshi.

Sima Guang immediately came out: "This matter is not possible, how can Wang Xiang easily come up with such a strategy?" Do you know how big the impact will be if this strategy comes out? ”

Emperor Zhao Ji actually knew that today's meeting would discuss this topic, because Gan Qi had spoken to him in advance, so he raised his hand: "Wang Xiang, let's talk about a reason, why do you have to come up with such a strategy?" ”

Wang Anshi nodded: "Your Majesty, everyone, now there are more than 10,000 people registered in the household department of the imperial court, the imperial court has been diligent in water conservancy over the years, and constantly encourages the people to open canals and open up wasteland, but this grain production still can't keep up with the speed of population growth, which also directly leads to the fact that the imperial court is becoming more and more difficult to deal with disasters." This population has to continue to grow, but the growth of the output of this acre is getting less and less, although Gan Xiang has made the Hetao public, it is also a drop in the bucket. If you want to avoid social turmoil in the future, opening the sea is the best policy, there are a lot of fertile land overseas, just occupy a place, you can raise tens of millions of people, open the sea policy, a hundred benefits and no harm! ”

What Wang Anshi said is not new, Gan Qi said this truth in Taixue more than ten years ago, and there are also Gan Qi's disciples who wrote books for Gan Qi, and there is also this truth in it, which is widely spread.

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi are bound to get along, and it is not the first time, he immediately replied: "Once the sea is opened, the household registration system will inevitably collapse, the land will lose the people, the government will not be able to hold the bandits, and the coastal security will be disturbed, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Sima Xianggong, now that the imperial court has promoted the policy of apportioning the land into the mu, the household registration system is not so important, as long as the tax is not reduced, why should the people be so controlled? As for the bandits, wouldn't there be no bandits if the sea was not opened? The only way to deal with bandits is to strike at bullet pressure. How can you give up food because of choking? ”

Wang Anshi's words have been prepared for a long time, or Gan Qi has been prepared for a long time, many things are one ring after another, the tax is changed, there is no longer a poll tax, and there is no need to use the registration system to confine the people in their hometown to collect taxes, and then open the sea, and the good people will have no worries about going to sea, and they don't have to worry about becoming black households because they can't pay taxes.

Cheng Hao, the superintendent of the imperial history, came out and spoke: "Wang Xianggong, your move will definitely cause unrest among the people, if the people are not among the fields, then there will be chaos in the world." ”

Cheng Hao is Cheng Yi's elder brother, one of Cheng Zhu Lixue's two Cheng, Cheng Hao and Su Shi are the same Jinshi, and now they are transferred to the Yushitai by Sima Guang, and this is also the case in history. Gan Qi didn't stop this, firstly, to show that he trusted Sima Guang, and naturally trusted Sima Guang's people. Second, he also seems to be willing to be generous, after all, Gan Xianggong and Cheng Yi have a grudge, but they can still reuse his brother, what kind of open-mindedness is this?

Cheng Yi spoke, but Li Ding, who was also the supervisor of the imperial history, said: "The minister thinks that this matter is not impossible, raising thousands of people, for the future, it must be done to expand the territory, and now I am in the Great Song Dynasty, to the north is the grassland, not suitable for farming, to the west is the Gobi Desert, not suitable for farming, to the south can be cultivated The land has already been developed, and then I want to have a cultivable land, not to go to sea, I am afraid that it will not be found." The kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the whole world is not the king's land, as long as there is fertile land overseas, how can it not be used? ”

Li Ding's imperial history was arranged by Gan Qi, at this time Li Ding said such a thing, Sima Guang glanced back at Li Ding, there was a traitor inside! In fact, Li Ding was a conservative in history, but now he has been taught by Ganqi for more than ten years, and he is no longer so conservative.

Wang Anshi immediately continued: "Well, what Li Yushi said is reasonable, my Heavenly Empire is in the upper kingdom, and I can no longer find extra land for cultivation, and the population is growing more and more, how can I raise it?" If it can't be raised, it is the root cause of the chaos in the world. ”

Sima Guang thought about it and hesitated, mainly because Wang Anshi's theory is very reasonable, the reason is reasonable, but this moral concept is wrong, he said again: "Let the people leave their hometowns and go to sea, and the sea is full of dangers and dangers, this is not benevolent government!" ”

Wang Anshi said: "It's not to force the people to go to sea to make a living, but to let the people choose for themselves, what's wrong with this? Is it benevolent government to let the people starve at home? ”

"Prime Minister Wang, once the sea is opened, the majesty of the law will be lost, and no one will be afraid of the law. Sima Guang's words are obviously reasonable, in such an era, the Ming Dynasty that does not open the sea will have a rebellion of the Japanese Invaders, and there are countless Han people among the Japanese Invaders. If the sea is opened, wouldn't it be even more chaotic?

"The imperial court has built a water division and controlled all the land on the islands near the coast, so how can the bandits hide?" As soon as Wang Anshi said this, seeing that Sima Guang was still going to speak, he immediately continued: "Wouldn't it be a good thing that you can even take the initiative to exile the traitors to the open sea, so that you can expand your territory and set an example?" ”

This strategy was obviously thought up by Gan Qi, and the Song Dynasty itself would exile criminals to offshore islands, such as Salmon Island (near Yantai), and this matter also had a reference, for example, Australia was the place where the British exiled criminals in later generations, and the Great Song Dynasty could also do the same, of course, Australia would no longer be called Australia, and it would have to be named the Great Song Dynasty.

In the early stage of the Great Voyage, there were three things, the first thing was to plunder, the second thing was to open a large farm and a large estate, and the third thing was to pan for gold and treasure and so on.

Gan Qi opened the sea ban, and these three things were also in the early stage, the most important thing was to open a large farm manor. Let the people of the Great Song Dynasty desperately give birth to children, and they can support as many as they want.

Giving birth to a child is actually for one purpose, or the saying that the whole world is not the king's land, desperately giving birth, living everywhere, living in all the fertile places in the world.

Sima Guang naturally had something to say, but at this time the emperor spoke: "What is Gan's opinion on this matter?" ”

Gan Xianggong is about to go out, but before speaking, he has to pretend to be thoughtful and thoughtful, and the expression on his face must be extremely complicated, and he will make a judgment in embarrassment, hesitation, contemplation, frowning, and helplessness......

Everyone turned their eyes to Gan Xianggong, obviously Gan Xianggong was already the referee in their hearts.

The referee spoke: "Alas...... The matter of opening the sea will inevitably be chaotic, so we must be cautious. ”

Sima Guang's face was overjoyed.

But Gan Qi said again: "But...... In the long run, the pressure of this Ding Kou is getting bigger and bigger, what Wang Xiang said is not unreasonable, I have been fighting for many years, nothing more than to expand the territory, millions of people moved to the river to open up wasteland, nothing more than to grow grain. Now only the land of the Liao people in the northeast has not been appeased, and this war still has to be started, because the land in the northeast is also fertile land and can become a granary. Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, what is Sheji? What is Jiangshan? It is nothing more than planting grain for the people, providing food and clothing for the people for generations. ”

Sima Guang was immediately anxious and said: "Xianggong, Wang Jiefu said that there is fertile land overseas, how can he take it seriously? What if there was no fertile ground overseas and the sea was opened so casually? ”

Gan Qi said with a smile: "This matter is not difficult, and send someone to the sea to explore, I have heard in Quanzhou that there is a lot of fertile land overseas, but the natives there do not know the way of reclamation, slash-and-burn cultivation is extremely primitive, it is really a tyrannical thing." However, this is not accurate, and it is foolproof to send someone to find it in person. In this way, send someone close to Your Majesty to lead the fleet to the sea, not only to explore the way, but also to promote the prestige of the country, and to find out if there is a fertile place overseas. In this way, if overseas is a wild land, then this sea will not be opened, what do you think? ”

Gan Qi is really killing several birds with one stone, Li Xian's matter of going to sea is justified, otherwise such a costly matter of money and food would have to be argued in the court.

As for whether there is fertile ground overseas, how can Gan Qi not have points in his heart? This earth is like this, as long as it is a little south, the more sunny the land, the more suitable for farming, and there is a lot of rainfall, and the water system is developed, just find a tree and shake it can drop wild fruits, is it not a waste not to use it for farming?

Looting and looting are not in line with the moral values of these conservatives. Going to sea to colonize, and even enslaving others, these things need a justifiable name to fool people like Sima Guang. It's not that Confucianism is morally bad in this regard, but that civilization is too advanced, and in this era, compared with other human civilizations, this moral concept is seven or eight hundred years ahead of it.

You have to go back to eating the weak to get the most out of it.

Sima Guang couldn't say anything when he heard this, but he felt that Gan Qi was very fair and impartial, and said: "Then send someone out to take a look, I think I am a great Song Dynasty, the land is vast, the treasure is Tianhua, the place of the Heavenly Empire, the country of the Heavenly Empire, the country of the blessed nature, where can it compare to the land of my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Blessed is the only favor from God. This cannot be blamed for Sima Guang's lack of knowledge, but can only say that the ancient Chinese were confident in their own civilization.

With such an operation, as soon as Li Xian comes back next year, the matter of opening the sea will be a certainty. It's called Slow Tuzhi, a boiled frog in warm water.

Gan Qi waved his hand as if he didn't care: "Then this matter is discussed here, it's not a big deal, I happen to have some ships in Quanzhou, so I ask Your Majesty to send someone." ”

Emperor Zhao Ji also looked indifferent, and raised his hand to make a move: "Li Xian, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

Li Xian stepped forward and saluted: "The slave and maid must do this errand for Your Majesty." ”

The emperor had already gotten up: "If you have nothing to do, you will retreat." ”

There was nothing to do, and the emperor didn't wait much.

Gan Qi turned his head out with the wat board, and Sima Guang walked up to Gan Qi, as if he had something to say: "Xianggong ......"

Gan Qi waved his hand to interrupt Sima Guang's words, and said: "You go to Zhongshu and prepare a text to discuss Liao, the northeast is fertile and thousands of miles away, and it is necessary to win it, and you can raise tens of millions of people, which is more convenient than opening the sea." ”

Sima Guang saw that Gan Qi knew what he was going to say, and immediately replied: "Xiaguan will go to draw up an edict, seize the land of Liao, and open up the acres of land, this is the best policy, and the prince is wise!" The lower officials must have written this article to convince everyone, and bitterly Chen Liao people and my Great Song Dynasty have a hundred years of grievances, and it is not enough to calm the hearts of the people in the world. ”

Sima Guang has no rejection of the war at all now, mainly because Gan Qi is too reassuring to fight, and if Gan Qi wins the battle, it will be like a gesture.

It is time to fight, and when the weather warms up in spring, the Liao people must be completely pinched to death, and the basic territory of this huge country since ancient times must be completely determined, from Siberia to the South China Sea, from the coast of the East China Sea to the Western Regions.

The destruction of Liao is for Siberia, but after the destruction of Liao, there is still a Jurchen in front of Siberia, which is also not a big trouble.

I have to give Jurchen An a name, the name of Huaxia, think about it, or the descendants of Yin Shang, Donghu has been a remnant of Yin Shang since ancient times, used to fool the Jurchens, and also used to fool the Song people. If you want the Jurchens not to resist, the Song people can't bully the Jurchens like the Liao, and if you want the Song people not to bully the Jurchens, you have to give the Song people a reason to accept the Jurchens, and the remnants of Yin Shang are this reason.

If the Jurchens are unwilling to accept it, then they have to conquer it first.

Peace and unity within this vast territory have to be done like this.

It's going to be war again, Gan Qi is still ready to go in person, personally end the last big war in the territory, there is a beginning and an end, in the history books, when Gan Qi personally unified the world, in the mouths of the people, it should also be Gan Qi who led the Great Song Dynasty to sweep the world step by step.

Gan Qi has been selling his reputation all his life, and he has a bigger mind in his heart, but this mind cannot be said to others, but he must be prepared for everything and cannot cause social turmoil.

If you want to avoid social unrest, you have to keep selling your reputation and reputation, and you have to choose a time when no one can say anything.

Yes, Gan Qi wants to be a referee, a referee in the name of justice.

Being a referee is just for the better implementation of those big strategies in his heart, and he doesn't have to make everything so cumbersome like today.

Everything is decided in one word, and the real one word is decided!
