Chapter 497: Checking the Father with the Son

Han Hee-jae appeared for the first time at the Imperial Council, and he was talking eloquently.

"Your Majesty, the minister returned to the Central Plains from Jiangnan, traveled for decades, and did a lot. Jiangnan is prosperous and rich, since the Anshi Rebellion, the family moved south, the cultural context is prosperous, the merchants are prosperous, and the market is shoulder to shoulder, which is extraordinary...... But the old minister often asks himself, can he strengthen the country in this way, and he can make the world a country? ”

Han Xizai shook his head and said: "No, no, no, there are many heroes and powerhouses in Jiangnan Tianlianqianmo, but ordinary people have no place to stand." In Jinling City, there are homeless people, not to mention how many of them serve dignitaries in the Qinhuai River, some carry goods in Pukou, and some simply beg in the city...... What's more, forming gangs, doing mischief, fighting and killing every day, and corpses are common by the river, can it be regarded as strong and rich? ”

His description immediately moved Chai Rong.

A few years ago, Kaifeng was not like this, begging everywhere, and the people were poor and unable to make a living. Wars are frequent, social chaos is frequent, the ground is the court, and the underground is the pound...... I am afraid that the situation is much more serious than Jiangnan.

After Guo Wei ascended the throne, in response to these circumstances, issued a decree granting land, after five years of governance, the Central Plains initially recovered, and when he succeeded to the throne, he implemented a stricter Qingzhang field and divided the land equally.

Chai Rong can proudly say that in Kaifeng, there are many cities, including ordinary county seats, where there are no groups of beggars, Hebei, Hedong, Gyeonggi, these places, even bandits and bandits have been exterminated.

There are also the Bianshui River, the Yongji Canal and the Caoyun, these places where gangs are most likely to breed, all of them are under the direct control of the imperial court, and some small hooligans still have them, but they can spread the entire canal, and there are hundreds of thousands of gangs at every turn, and there is no gang!

The imperial decree of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a will, can be implemented to the vast majority of the people.

This is the power of the state!

Han Xizai observed the situation in the Central Plains along the way, and spent a lot of time reading official documents and decrees these days to understand the strategies of the imperial court. He was sure that he had come back in the right place!

In the year of the sixtieth year, I finally stood in the right direction!

When I was in Jinling, I listened to the scholars who escaped and scolded the Central Plains as hell, but through Han Xizai's observation, it was indeed hell, but it was just the hell of the scholars!

All of their privileges and advantages were deprived, and the whole society became unprecedentedly fair and just, which was also the realm pursued by Confucians throughout the ages.

But the problem is that fairness is not written in the law "the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people", this is a very low standard, the real fairness is the fairness of property, it is the equality of opportunity...... Throughout the ages, all kinds of games, whether they are chess and Go, Contra Xiaobawang, or online mobile games, have a common feature, that is, a fair starting point.

How many pieces do you have, how many I have, how many lives do you have, how many lives do I have, what equipment do you have, what equipment do I have...... As for the extent of later development, it depends on the ability, or simply charge the money directly to exchange, of course, there are also people who open the hanging, this should be careful of being stone hammered.

This is true in the field of gaming, but what about the reality?

It's really a lot scarier than the game.

Born in the family of scholars, but also born in the family of tenant farmers, born is the difference between cloud and mud, not only in his own life, but even in life and life, there is no chance to change his fate.

The so-called poor can only be three generations, because three generations are poor, they have no money to get married, and they can't find a daughter-in-law, so naturally there will be no next generation......

Da Zhou is by no means perfect, and it can even be said that it is not good, and there are many problems...... But there is a premise, Da Zhou is trying to build a fair and reasonable environment, everyone, without discrimination, can all get a small piece of land, how to operate next, whether to make a fortune, or not to eat, depends on your own efforts.

"Your Majesty!" Han Xizai said emotionally: "The minister thinks that what Jiangnan has done is certainly worth guarding against and needs to be dealt with carefully, but it is still in Juntian at all, as long as this national policy is implemented and maintained." Otherwise, in a few years, the Central Plains will be completely different, when the people are rich and the country is rich, the horses are strong and the army is strong, and Your Majesty will dominate the country, just around the corner! ”

Han Xizai's words, Chai Rong's face turned red, and he nodded frequently.

"I didn't hesitate to offend the gentry and wealthy families, and promoted the Qingzhang Juntian, and my hard work was all said by Han Qing." Chai Rong muttered: "Add the young master of Prince Han Qing, the title of direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, among the Qingzhang fields in various places, you have to be fully responsible, I will give an order, let the supervisors of the imperial history in various places, as well as the embroidered messengers, assist Han Qing together, and be sure to do things well!" ”

"Minister...... Obey! ”

Han Xizai was excited, and knelt on his knees, "When the old minister was young, he was confused for a while and strayed into Jiangnan, but now his gray hair is born early, and he is drooping and old, I don't know how long he can live!" Even if the old minister still has a breath, he must repay His Majesty's kindness and do his best to die! ”

……

This pair of monarchs and ministers who met not long ago staged a moving drama, and Li Gu's cheeks next to him were bulging, he was angry and hateful!

Unexpectedly, I really can't imagine that this old life of mine is actually in the hands of Han Xizai!

It's useless to say anything now, Wang Pu is called the prime minister, but in fact, he has no intention of government affairs, his current energy is focused on reform and education, this is something he has discussed with Ye Hua a long time ago, but Wang Pu has not made any progress over the years, until the Great Zhou School, a new army has sprung up, so that Wang Pu sees hope.

He wanted to refer to the Great Zhou School, reform all schools, and reshape the entire education system.

This incident alone is enough for Wang Pu to keep busy.

As for Wei Renpu, it's good if this old thing doesn't sell himself, Xue Juzheng is even more useless, Zhao Pu returns to the court, his privy envoy will be taken out at any time, and he can't help himself...... Li Gu is also an old fox for many years, how can he be a person who is willing to ambush him!

It was easy to wait until the end of the imperial meeting, and Li Gu went straight to the Huagai Palace.

"Master Hou, Han Xizai was arranged by you?"

He went straight to the point, Ye Hua didn't deny it, but he didn't admit it either, he just smiled faintly, "Li Xianggong, do you think what Han Xizai did is inappropriate?" ”

"Of course not!"

Li Gu leaned over and said: "Master Hou, the old man and you have known each other for so many years, let's just say two truths from the bottom of our hearts, do you really want to implement Juntian?" Or do you really take clearing the acres of land as your ultimate goal? ”

Ye Hua took a deep breath, "Li Xianggong, a few years ago, the price of shops in Kaifeng plummeted, I went to the countryside to buy agricultural products, and you also followed me, and it took half a month of hard work!" Ye Hua sighed: "You and I have a deep understanding of how difficult it is to deal with small farmers!" ”

Li Gu bowed his head, "But it's not!" At that time, the people had just divided the land and urgently needed a little money to improve their lives, and as long as the price was fair, they were willing to take out the grain. But now, many wealthy people have food in their homes, and they don't want to sell it! Even if the price is raised by one percent, they are still unwilling, Diao Min has always been insatiable! The old man really didn't dare to think, if the whole world was like this, how should this third envoy be? Who else has the ability to manage the country's finances! ”

Li Gu sighed: "I am the Qingzhang who presides over Gyeonggi, maybe even the Hou Ye, I feel that the old man has released the water and connived at it, and the old man is extremely evil!" But the old man wants to say, you have all misunderstood, I am really wronged! ”

When this Li Xianggong said this, his nose was still red.

"Master Hou, there are many rich landlords, and their families are engaged in trading, including dyeing workshops, looms, blacksmith shops, crude medicine shops, grocery stores, as well as chariots and horse shops, trading houses, warehouses, and grain stores...... Wait for these businesses, the old man can divide their fields, but can the old man divide all these businesses? You asked me to hand over a blacksmith shop to dozens of ordinary people, your stove, my iron pot, will it work? ”

"If the old man does this, believe it or not, the industry and commerce of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be ruined immediately, in the past few years, how much thought has Hou Ye put into the development of industry and commerce? Is it going to be ruined too? The old man also has no choice, he has to release water, and he has to compromise with some big households, and it is difficult for me! ”

Ye Hua listened to Li Gu's complaints, and suddenly said quietly: "Li Xianggong, so you connived at the gentry, colluded with the officials of Qingzhang, and slaughtered a village?" ”

"The conscience of heaven and earth!"

Li Gu suddenly stood up, pointed to the top of his head and swore an oath: "Master Hou, if the old man is even a little involved in this matter, I am willing to cut off this head for you!" ”

"What do I want Lee Sang-gong's head for!"

"Master Hou, no matter what you do, it is inevitable that you will be a black sheep, the old man really doesn't know, this, this account can't be counted on the old man's head...... Han Xizai wants to dye his official robe red with my head, and he is vicious with his intentions, Master Hou, you can't help but say a fair word! "Lee Sang-gong was about to cry.

Ye Hua pondered, what Li Gu said was indeed reasonable, Juntian and the development of industry and commerce, these are the two roads to be taken by the Great Zhou, and they cannot be abandoned, just one thing, it is absolutely impossible to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and it cannot be maintained at all.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to maintain a stable small-scale peasant economy, even came up with the most perverted household registration system, which is not allowed to change from generation to generation...... But what was the result, when Zhu Laosi became the emperor, he had to go to the West to develop trade and fill the financial gap.

Ye Hua can understand Li Gu's method very well, of course, to say that this old man has no selfish intentions, Ye Hua is extremely unbelievable. However, he also said at the beginning that as long as Li Gu could sincerely push Qingzhang, even if something happened, Ye Hua would pull him, but he didn't expect this to come true so quickly.

"Lee Sang-ko......"

Ye Hua was about to say something next, when Hanlin Scholar Li Xi walked in from outside, and as he walked, he sighed: "Senior brother, this Huagai Hall is really good, Your Majesty specially repaired it for you!" If you want to say that Han Xizai is also mediocre, he actually asked the superintendent Yushi Li Ji to investigate the case of destroying the village, is he going to release the water? ”

He shouted and turned the screen, and suddenly saw Li Gu, very embarrassed, "Li Xianggong, it's Ling Lang who went to check, it should be fine!" ”

Who knew that Li Gu suddenly shouted, "The old man is resting and slumped directly on the chair." ”
