Chapter 188: The Dispute over Tuntian
Speaking of Shi Zhan's father and son, Shi Zun couldn't help but be a little worried. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info although he was not convinced by Shi Zhan, but the strong combat effectiveness of Shi Zhan's subordinates really made him a little afraid.
If he is equal to Shi Zhan's strength, Shi Zun knows that he has no chance of winning, Tan Yuan's words are right, with Shi Zhan's father and son, even if he gets into trouble, he will have no chance of winning.
"Your Highness, don't worry so much! There is no endless road, and this time it will definitely be able to turn the danger into a disaster! ”
Shi Zun sighed helplessly and drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Since learning the news of Wang Shicheng and others, Shi Hu has been in a better mood for most of the time, as the saying goes, heart disease still needs heart medicine, Shi Hu, who was originally sick, has been in a lot of energy in just a few days.
"Father, I don't know if you think your son's plan for Tuntian is feasible?"
Shi Hu flipped through a copy of the report, and said impatiently: "Look at it, I am dazzled!" ”
After speaking, he threw the report to Liu Yuanzhi. Liu Yuanzhi took the report, read it in detail, and then handed it to Shi Zhan, and everyone roughly circulated it.
"How's it going, have you read it all? Let me know what you think! Shi Hu closed his eyes and said lazily.
Liu Yuanzhi looked at everyone, and no one seemed willing to speak first, so he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the plan for Tuntian prepared by His Royal Highness King Yan is feasible, which is a good thing for Sheji." ”
"Tell me, how is it beneficial to the community?" Shi Hu opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Liu Yuanzhi.
"Garrisoning the border fields can reduce the burden on the state and achieve self-sufficiency to a certain extent. On the other hand, by using the people's fields, we can gather the displaced people, so that these people can have a home to return to and food to eat. As the old saying goes, you know honor and disgrace when you have enough food and clothing, and you know etiquette when you have enough food and clothing......"
"Okay, let's put it simply, I hate you biting words the most!" Shi Hu impatiently interrupted Liu Yuanzhi's words.
Liu Yuanzhi swallowed his saliva, paused, and then said: "When the people have food to eat, people's hearts will be stable, which is conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the country. ”
"Rebellion? If these people dare to rebel, they will kill them all! Shi Hu said with a glare.
Liu Yuanzhi was immediately speechless when he was refuted by Shi Hu's words, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say stupidly: "The minister is finished." ”
"Father, the son has something to say!" Shi Zhan suddenly stood up.
Hearing Shi Zhan's voice, Shi Hu sat up slightly, raised his hand, and said, "Tell me about it." ”
"The son thought that his father wanted to plot the world, so he needed to develop production and store gold and grain. Tuntian can be divided into military tun and min tun, His Majesty can collect a certain proportion of the annual harvest, increase the income of taxes, once with the Xianbei Xiongnu long-term war, do not have to worry about the lack of grain and grass. Second, as Lord Liu said, the people can be reined in, so that they have food and clothing, then the people can be at ease, and select those who are physically strong and free of disabilities from the homeless people, which can be used as a source of reserve soldiers, and in the event of a war, they can be conscripted into the army at any time. When the people are stable, it is conducive to population growth, which is also a way to replenish the military resources. At that time, the Qin State had to get the land of Badi Shu, on the surface, it was to get the granary, but in fact, it was precisely because of the alleviation of the grain and grass problem in Guanzhong that it promoted the rapid increase in the population of Guanzhong to a greater extent! Therefore, Qin Shi Huang was able to draw so many troops by unifying the six countries. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that our Qian people are mainly nomadic herders, and we don't need these Han things, who eats food? We all eat meat! The Han people are all sheep that eat grass, and the meat is not enough to eat. You Jian scoffed disappreally.
"Lord You, what did you just say?" Shi Zhan said coldly.
"It's nothing, I mean that Han women can be used as military rations......"
Before You Jian finished speaking, he saw Shi Zhan's knife-like gaze staring at him, and quickly changed his words: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of Tuntian is purely a trick of the Han people, so why not turn the Central Plains into a grassland?" Wouldn't it be better for us to graze cattle for a living, so with enough pasture, we can raise more war horses, more cattle and sheep. ”
"Well, you have a point!" Shi Hu stroked his beard and nodded.
"Your Majesty, the minister supports the idea of His Royal Highness King Yan, the Central Plains is different from the outside of the Sai, there are mountains and rivers, and it is not suitable for large-scale grazing in the pastures. The land of the Central Plains is fertile and suitable for farming, and agriculture is the foundation of the country. What Lord You said is really short-sighted, and Your Majesty must not be deceived by it. Zhang Bao said, glancing at You Jian.
"Lord Zhang, things can be eaten indiscriminately, words can't be said indiscriminately, I am loyal to Sheji, loyal to Your Majesty, you and I just have different opinions, how can I say that I deceive Your Majesty!"
"You-sama! If it weren't for you and me, I would have thought that you were a god in the sky and didn't eat the fireworks of the world, otherwise what you said would be unrealistic and like a fantasy? Zhang Bao sneered coldly.
"Lord Zhang, you don't have to bite the words and sneer at them, the words of this official are worthy of your conscience, and you are also loyal to Your Majesty, why do we Qian people want to engage in the Han people's set? If the words of the so-called sages of the Han people really want to be so effective, how can they lose their country? ”
"If you are stupid and don't listen to the words of the sage, you will naturally not be able to keep the country, Lord You, if you don't have three taels of ink in your belly, don't make an axe to confuse the public!" Zhang Bao sneered.
"Zhang Bao! I have repeatedly endured, don't think that you can see no one after three days of being a scholar! You Jian was annoyed and ashamed.
"That's it! Shut up! Shi Hu scolded impatiently.
The two of them glared angrily and obediently shut up.
"Prime Minister, tell me, is this Tuntian matter reliable?" Shi Hu looked at the silent noble and asked.
Gao Shang stood up and said, "The old minister thinks that there is some truth in what Lord You said......
When You Jian heard Gao Guizhi's words, he sneered and glanced at Zhang Bao, who glared at You Jian fiercely.
"However, Lao Chen thinks that if he is planning for the long term, His Royal Highness King Yan's idea is also feasible......" Gao Shang said ambiguously.
"When will you be able to speak more cheerfully! The sun is really coming out of the west! Shi Hu looked at Gao Shangzhi with some displeasure, and said: "You should tell me why in the long run, Tuntian is beneficial!" ”
Gao Shangzhi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "The outside of the plug is poor, so I can only graze, and the land in the Central Plains is fertile, if it is used as a pasture, it may not be a bit tyrannical...... In addition, the salt and iron of our Zhao State is the lifeblood of the country, but if there is no agricultural support, how can it develop? In the long run, the country's financial strength will decline, and not only the people will suffer, but even His Majesty's fine clothes and food will be affected. ”
There are only a few words of noble people, but what he said is very reasonable, Zhang Bao even looked at noble in his heart, Shi Shi nodded again and again after listening to noble words, and said: "Father, the words of the prime minister are exactly what the son wants to say, the current people of the Qian people are no longer the era when they lived under the hands of the Huns, if they want to sit firmly in the Central Plains, try to plot the world, and develop production, so as to enrich the country and strengthen the army." ”
"Father, what His Royal Highness King Yan said is that in the Battle of Changping, the Zhao State was defeated, there is a very important reason is that the grain and grass are not enough, and now it is a troubled time, the Xianbei Xiongnu and the Jin State in the south are eyeing us, and there is a possibility of a resurgence at any time, and the matter of Tuntian should be as soon as possible. With 40,000 soldiers and horses under his command, if there is no war, wouldn't he be waiting every day to sit and eat? Our Zhao State has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and we eat dry rice every day, even if we have gold and silver, we can't stand it! Once the money and food are insufficient, the soldiers are hungry, and when they really want to go into battle to kill the enemy, how can they still have a chance of winning? Shi Zhan also chimed in.
Shi Hu got up and paced back and forth in Hongguang Pavilion, thought for a long time, suddenly stopped, and said to everyone: "Since you all agree, let's implement it like this first." ”
"Father is wise!" Shi Shi hurriedly flattered excitedly.
"Second brother, since this matter is your leader, you are responsible! However, the Tuntian matter is also within the management scope of the household department, so you and Yuanzhi can do it together! I just need to see the results! Shi Hu ordered the two of them a little harshly.
"Obey the order!" Liu Yuanzhi nodded and said.
"You all step back first, second and fifth, you two stay, I have something to discuss with you." Shi Hu commanded everyone.
"Wait for the resignation...... noble and others saluted wisely, and then withdrew.
