A condition that can't be refused? Kou Zhun couldn't imagine what such a condition would be. For officials, there are only a few conditions that can impress them.

Add officials to the knighthood, reward silver, seal the wife and son, leave the name in history, and benefit the people. Every official has different pursuits, but the ultimate goal is nothing more than one of a few.

Kou Zhun thinks that Zhao Weiji may not be able to open these conditions, even if they are offered, will it be a condition that cannot be refused? Kou Zhun wasn't sure.

However, despite thinking so, Kou Zhun still found all the officials who could be wooed together and proposed to them Zhao Weiji's banquet for them.

Out of respect for such a prince who had made outstanding achievements, and at the same time wanted to see what kind of medicine Zhao Weiji bought in his gourd, the officials of all sizes finally attended the dinner set by Zhao Weiji.

It's just that they didn't expect that not long after the dinner started, the host Zhao Weiji directly skipped all the polite greetings and got to the point.

Although everyone who came to the banquet knew that the prince would definitely discuss the ownership of the throne during the banquet, it was just too fast.

"I hope that the throne here today will support this king to inherit the throne." As soon as Zhao Weiji spoke, there was an uproar below.

Is this prince stupid to fight, I know that you are inviting everyone here today to win over people to support you, but you didn't express it so directly.

The officials who were still complaining in their hearts couldn't have imagined that this was just the beginning, and then one bombshell after another was thrown down by Zhao Weiji one after another.

"I know you have doubts in your hearts, whether this prince is stupid to fight. How can there be such a straightforward pull? Here I can tell you clearly that the reason why I am so straightforward today is to not waste time.

Now what our Great Song looks like, I think you know better than me. Although the Khitans were defeated, it is not necessarily that they will not make a comeback.

What's more, in addition to the Khitans who came out to the north, there are also Dangxiang people in the northwest, Tubo people, and Dali people in the southwest. Our Great Song Dynasty has no time to spend on choosing a new emperor. ”

Zhao Weiji was just saying this, when he was interrupted by an official present: "According to the meaning of the prince, you are the best candidate to inherit the throne?" ”

This person's words are very heartbreaking, although you Zhao Weiji made it clear from the beginning that it was a puller. But do you dare to say that you yourself are the most suitable?

If not. So it's useless for you to say so much nonsense, but what if it is? In this country where modesty is a traditional virtue, will your swagger cause dissatisfaction among the officials here?

"Yes, I am the most capable of those who are now eligible to inherit the throne. It is also the one who deserves to inherit the throne the most. After saying this. Zhao Weiji didn't even look at the reaction of the officials below and continued: "I have made outstanding achievements. There is great influence in the army.

I have good experience in governing places, and I think you all know what Huating County and Xinhua City are like.

Now the country's largest chamber of commerce and money banks have my shadow behind them, and I don't think I need to go into detail about how capable they are.

Also, I have introduced a lot of high-yielding crops. I don't think the peasants will be disgusted with me.

I also founded the Shilin Daily, which I guess is still a little famous among Shilin.

I don't think your town king can compare to me in these aspects, right? ”

After Zhao Weiji said this, the officials below discovered that there was actually this prince in all aspects of the country. His influence has actually spread all over the Shinong industry and commerce. Coupled with the fact that he still holds military power, in comparison, the town king can really only be described as useless.

But all this is still not a reason for these officials to turn to Zhao Weiji, they are waiting to see if something more important can come out of Zhao Weiji's mouth.

They didn't have to wait long, and more important news followed.

"If I become emperor, I will let go of land annexation." As soon as these words came out, the people at the banquet were completely boiling.

Land annexation, this problem has always been the Achilles heel of feudal dynasties, every dynasty has to face this problem, and the rulers of each dynasty undoubtedly oppose and inhibit land annexation.

Because once the land is annexed in large quantities, the landless peasants will become the root of the country's unrest.

The officials present would never have thought that the condition proposed by Zhao Weiji was to let go of land annexation, and to be honest, this condition was indeed extremely tempting.

Although the officials are ruling the country, to put it bluntly, they are all landlords behind them. They are all landlords, and as a landlord class, they naturally want to own more land.

But on the other hand, they are also afraid that if they really let go of land annexation, the consequences are not something they can afford.

"Lord Wang, you said that if you ascend to the Great Treasure, you will let go of the land annexation, is this true or false?" Some of the officials who found it all incredible had the courage to ask such a question.

"Nature is true, it's just that I need a buffer time, and I'm here to promise that when I ascend the throne for three years, I'll let go of the land annexation."

Seeing that what Zhao Weiji said was so true, the man continued to ask just now: "The prince should know what the consequences will be if you let go of the land annexation, do you really want to do this?" ”

"Since I have raised the issue of land annexation here, I naturally know what the consequences will be after liberalization, so I will use three years as a buffer, and with these three years, I can completely minimize the impact of land annexation."

Under Zhao Weiji's instigation with such confidence, the officials below were all moved, although they did not know what Zhao Weiji had to solve the problems arising from the land annexation, but since the consequences could be solved. Why don't you support Zhao Weiji?

Having the right to buy land at will is much more practical than adding officials to the knighthood or bounty silver, after all, the promotion of officials is not up to the emperor alone, and with land, gold and silver are not rolling in.

In this way, under Zhao Weiji's very tempting conditions, the officials who came to the banquet defected one after another and became a member of Zhao Weiji's camp.

And this basically announced the end of the struggle for the throne, with the support of nearly two-thirds of the officials in the DPRK and the queen mother, Zhao Weiji can basically be declared the next emperor, not to mention that he still has a small army of 100,000 outside the city behind him.

Although the problem of the throne was basically solved, Kou Zhun was very disappointed that Zhao Weiji did not hesitate to sacrifice Sheji for the throne, and when he finished the banquet, he did not find Zhao Weiji immediately, but as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhao Weiji was making tea in the study, and after seeing Kou Zhun coming in angrily, he said to him with a smile: "Come and come to Pingzhong, accompany me to have a cup of tea, I drank too much wine at night, drink a cup of tea to relieve hangover." ”

Seeing Zhao Weiji's smiling expression, Kou Zhun's fire was even more soaring, he did it in front of Zhao Weiji, stopped Zhao Weiji's hand pouring tea, and asked unfairly: "Doesn't the prince know how much disaster the land annexation will bring to the country?" Does the prince really want to exchange the society for the country? ”

Zhao Weiji, who seemed to know that Kou Zhun would have this question, pushed Kou Zhun's hand away unhurriedly, poured the tea into the small teacup in front of Kou Zhun, and then said: "Didn't I say it, give me three years of buffer time, and I will have a solution." ”

Hearing that Zhao Weiji actually used the perfunctory words of other officials just now to perfunctory his own Kou Zhun, this moment was completely explosive, he poured the tea in front of him out, and then said sharply: "If the prince doesn't give a reasonable explanation today, don't blame Zhun for cutting the table with the prince." ”

Seeing that Kou Zhun already looked like he was about to eat people, Zhao Weiji finally put away his smile, and after he picked up the tea in front of him and drank it, he said slowly: "Pingzhong, let me ask you, what is the biggest consequence of land annexation?" ”

"Naturally, the peasants lost their land and became tenant farmers or had no place to stand."

"Actually, to put it bluntly, either you have to accept the exploitation of the landlord, or you won't have a way to live, right?"

Kou Zhun nodded nondeniably.

"So what if I could find a way to survive for the peasants who had lost their land?"

Kou Zhun felt fresh when he heard it, looking for a way to live? How to find it? What is the way for a peasant who is incapable of doing business and has no skills to work?

"Compared to Ping Zhong, you've also heard of those things I made in Xinhua City, right? What happens if I transplant them all to the Central Plains? ”

The things in Xinhua City that Zhao Weiji is referring to here are undoubtedly factories, unlike the indifference of the Zhao and Song royal families to Xinhua City, Kou Zhun has been asking the merchant ships coming and going from Xinhua City about everything here.

He has always had a great curiosity about Zhao Weiji's departure, and he wants to know how Zhao Weiji lives overseas.

In many inquiries, he naturally learned some information about the workshop in Xinhua City, and in his cognition, the workshop relied on some of the tricks made by Zhao Weiji so that many people without any skills could produce products that met the standards in the factory.

It seems that the artillery and rifles that Zhao Weiji brought back this time are all products of those workshops.

"What does the prince mean is to establish a similar factory in the Central Plains, and then let those peasants who have lost their land enter the factory to work?" At this time, Kou Zhun had gradually calmed down.

"That's right, one of the great features of the factory in Xinhua City is that it doesn't need the kind of craftsmanship that needs to be accumulated for many years to be able to produce, and our factory will pay the workers."

When Kou Zhun heard this, he finally understood that Zhao Weiji hoped that all the peasants who had lost their land would become workers, so that the peasants who had a new way to live would naturally not become a hidden danger to the state, and the development of land annexation would instead become a trap for the landlords.

Seeing that Kou Zhun finally understood, Zhao Weiji poured another cup of tea into Kou Zhun's teacup, and then Kou Zhun drank it happily. (To be continued......)
