Article 168 Party Struggle 2
As long as the officials sent down had enough cash in their hands, they could harvest a large amount of grain from these people.
When the people saw the cash, they would naturally dispel the doubts in their hearts, enhance the credibility of the government in their hearts, and build a good mass foundation for Cai Dao to implement his 'plan to hide wealth from the people' in the future.
The most important thing is that Cai Dao's plan can be implemented according to the actual situation.
If there is a good year, it can be completely formed into a practice and implemented vigorously in the Central Plains. And if it is a year of great disaster, it is enough to continue the previous practice.
Moreover, if there is a continuous year of famine, a large amount of grain is stored in the treasury, which can completely reduce the losses of the people in the disaster year.
This is called having food in your hands and not panicking.
The above plan is to make the Great Song Kingdom truly have a three-year reserve for the state.
And Cai Dao's 'plan to hide wealth from the people' is to achieve another purpose - the people have a three-year reserve.
Only the people of the Central Plains, if they can keep three years of grain reserves, then no matter what disaster year they encounter in the future, the people will be able to carry it through.
……
And what about Dean?
He himself did not have the qualifications to go to the court, and the imperial mission was not completed, so there was no reason to enter the palace to meet Song Shenzong at this time. Therefore, he went to Genyue first, and the focus was to see the specific situation of the harvest of farmland in that area.
This is a task assigned to him by Cai Dao. After all, Cai Dao, as the main person in charge of presiding over such a large experimental field, did not appear in front of Song Shenzong at the critical harvest moment, how confident he was, how big his heart was, and he still wanted to know if he could make some achievements in the north, and this large piece of land in Genyue was his touchstone.
As a result, nature is very good.
After Di'an arrived, the grain grown in this area of Genyue was harvested early, except for soybeans, which took a month to harvest.
According to Cai Dao's planting method, sorghum and early rice not only mature earlier than other places, but also have an average yield per mu that is much higher than that of any other place in the Central Plains. Of course, it is simply unrealistic to achieve the average yield of six to eight stones per mu like Cai Dao in Xiaoci.
Dean asked the people who were busy in the fields, and they couldn't tell the average yield per mu of Genyue, but whoever asked about it, the land they cultivated, whether it was sorghum or early rice, was basically more than four stones per mu. This achievement has reached the average of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and even Di'an, a martial artist, knows what an amazing achievement this is!
After that, Dean didn't visit the nursery because he had sensed that it wasn't just a group of people who were following him.
Therefore, after taking a turn around Genyue, Dean went directly back to the inn. First, he has to wait for Cai Qu's news, and second, he has to run in with his two BMWs.
Besides, Cai Qu, after discussing with his subordinates, he tested the opinions of several other law-changing generals, Zhang Dun and Cai Jing, who were all taken aback when they learned of this plan. After the two thought for a while, Cai Jing made it clear that he didn't want to get involved in this matter, and Zhang Dun's attitude was a little intriguing, and he actually left noncommittally.
You must know that now in the capital, the two of them have the largest official positions in the Fa-changing faction, Cai is indeed the right servant of Shangshu and the servant of Zhongshu, second only to Wang Qi, and Zhang Dun is the servant of the door, second only to the two. Therefore, there are also some signs of disagreement between the two of them, not to mention, Zhang Dun is even more arbitrary than Cai Qu, how can he be willing to be subordinate to the two.
Therefore, Cai did guess that the reason why Zhang Dun didn't answer him a word and left like this. It's not that he doesn't want to be involved in this plan, he just doesn't want to be involved in the plan he executes.
If this was the change of the former prince Anshi, Zhang Dun would definitely not oppose it, and would even actively participate in it.
However, Cai was still full of confidence at this time, although this plan would offend most of the magnates and officials, but, don't forget, this Jiangshan is surnamed Zhao. Song Shenzong hopes that his country can be as solid as a rock more than anyone else, and after so many years of changes, the official family should have deeply understood that grain reserves are really the top priority of a country.
In the early dynasty, it was Wang Qi who spoke first, the prime minister of the three decrees was not covered, he still did his duty, and there was nothing superfluous to report.
After that, it was Cai Qu, who was just about to go out of class to speak. Zheng Xia suddenly stepped forward first.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has a book. Yesterday, Chen's family met Di An in the outer city, the little general of Di Mansion entered Beijing at night, neither returned home, nor immediately reported to the forbidden army, but directly entered Cai Qu's mansion. Vice Prime Minister, I don't know if you had any important matters to discuss with the Di family last night? Zheng Xia said it lightly on the surface, but in fact, there was a murderous motive hidden in his words.
At this time, Di Yong was not on duty, and when he heard Zheng Xia's words, Di Yong hated it so much that his teeth itched. I have long heard that this literati of the blessed Qing Dynasty is not a thing, and he has the same backbone in the back of his head as Wei Yan.
At the beginning, Wang Anshi was also blind, and actually recommended this thing to the court. As a result, Zheng Xia turned around and took refuge in the conservatives, becoming the vanguard of his own first resignation.
If Zheng Xia only impeached Dean himself, there was nothing to blame. However, this anti-bone boy began to talk nonsense. Dean entered Beijing last night, and apart from intersecting with Cai Qu and the people at the inn, he had no contact with his family at all. How to talk about it well, it was pulled to the head of the Di family.
Song Shenzong is not a fool, although he took measures to temporarily dismiss Di Yong's errand, of course, there is also suspicion of the Di family. However, this was just a measure taken by the Emperor of the Zhao family to guard against his military ministers. Even Di Yong himself was uncomfortable, he didn't see that when he entered the palace, not only did he not bring his weapons, but also directly stated that he had received the news that his eldest nephew Di An suddenly entered Beijing without saying hello.
Song Shenzong himself can be suspicious, but it doesn't mean that he allows others to talk nonsense.
What's more, Zheng Xia is now a person with officials and no position, and he doesn't have much power in Bianliang City at all. His subordinates can be said to have met Dean into the city by chance before, but one of his subordinates dared to follow an official, and also followed him to the vice minister's mansion, who gave this subordinate the courage, or rather, who gave Zheng Xia the right to spy on the minister.
This kind of thing can only be done by the Imperial City Division, and he, a civil servant, dares to let his subordinates act like this.
Song Shenzong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, took a deep look at this Zheng Xia in front of him, in his opinion, it was the nursery rhyme that suddenly spread in the capital that enhanced Zheng Xia's reputation among the people, which made him so unscrupulous.
