After demonstrating the horse farming skills, Sima Shu said goodbye to the Pei family and returned to the East Palace accompanied by Zhang Hua. Along the way, Zhang Hua kept asking him questions related to horse farming.

Sima Shu knew that the other party was worried that the time was in a hurry and he would not be able to catch up with this year's spring ploughing, so he comforted: "Master Taifu, don't worry, about the heavy ploughs, horses and other materials needed for horse ploughing, Gu has already made people ready. As long as an agreement is reached with the family, Lone will let people send things, so Taifu doesn't have to worry about this year's spring ploughing! ”

"Since this is the case, the minister is relieved!" After receiving the prince's personal assurance, Zhang Hua finally put his mind at ease.

Early the next morning, Luoyang Jingshi, Taiji Palace, the prince Sima Shu was discussing state affairs with the ministers, this was the first court meeting after Sima Shu supervised the country, and no one dared to slack off.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

The Taiji Palace, which was still noisy just now, suddenly fell silent, and since the successful coup of the crown prince, no one in the court and the central government despised this young imperial prince.

"If you have something to do, you can play early, and you have nothing to retreat!" The attendant on duty shouted at the top of his throat.

"Your Highness, the minister Pei Wei has something to do!" As soon as the words fell, Pei Wei immediately went out of class to play.

"Master Pei, please speak!"

At the beginning of the court meeting, Pei Wei staged a double reed with the prince in the main hall according to the prior arrangement.

"Your Highness, after trying the horse farming technique yesterday, I feel that this technology can greatly promote the development of agricultural technology in our dynasty. Our Pei family is willing to release most of the tenants, subordinates, and slaves to be taken care of by the imperial court, but we just hope that the imperial court can provide the Pei family with the farm tools and technical guidance needed for horse farming techniques. ”

Pei Wei's recital to the court caused the ministers of the family to exclaim! The hall, which was still quiet just now, suddenly boiled, and everyone talked about it one after another.

In fact, it is not surprising that the Pei family made such a choice, although the other families were surprised, they were not unprepared. Yesterday, everything that happened in the Pei family grange has been known to the family through various channels, and the Pei family has always been very close to the royal family, so it is not surprising that the Pei family made such a choice.

But other families such as Jinyang Wang's family, Fanyang Lu family, etc. are still suspicious, they are afraid that this is a trap deliberately set by the prince and the Pei family.

Sima Shu stood on the steps, and at first he looked eagerly at the ministers of the family with different faces, hoping that they would obey the 'will of the people' and hand over their subordinates, tenants, and slaves. But Pei Wei was silent for a long time, and he also praised the big farm to the sky.

But those big families were still unmoving, and the smile on Sima Shu's face became more and more stiff, but he quickly reacted. These great families have long lost their enterprising spirit, and now they are just maggots attached to the common people!

"Your Highness, is this horse farming technique reliable? It can't be fooling, right? ”

Horse farming technology, for some families in the Western Jin Dynasty who advocate Qing talk, this technology is too rare.

In fact, they don't know that China's horse farming technology appeared very early, which can be seen in Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, but there is an exact historical record in the Han Dynasty.

However, due to the long-term shortage of horses in China, it really cannot meet the needs of private farming, and horse farming cannot be cultivated in paddy fields, so this excellent farming method has not been greatly developed in China.

On the contrary, in distant Europe, due to the ravages of diseases such as the Black Death, the number of people was small for a long time, and horse farming technology was fully developed.

"Horse farming?" Wang Rong smiled and wanted to express some lofty opinions, "Your Highness is really a saint, this implementation of horse farming can be described as hiding horses from the people, and it will be ...... when the time comes."

Sima Shu glanced at Wang Rong, one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", "The wish is very good, but it is difficult to come true." Seeing that Wang Rong was puzzled, he continued, "War horses are different from horses that plough the land, even if they are good, they will become waste if they go to plow for two years, and they will never be able to go to the battlefield again." ”

Wang Rong's face turned red when he heard this, and he hurriedly returned to his seat.

Sima Shu was not too concerned about himself, and then explained to the crowd, "Compared with cattle, horses eat more feed, but the efficiency is higher than that of oxen ploughing. In addition, horse farming technology may not be easy to promote if it is left in the previous dynasty, but now the population of our dynasty is much smaller than that of the previous dynasty, and most of them are vast and sparsely populated and lack of development, so the promotion of horse farming technology has the greatest advantage. ”

Sima Shu pondered as he said that once the horse farming technology was successfully popularized in the Central Plains, a large number of ordinary people who were bound to the land by the great families would be completely liberated, which would provide him with a large number of human resources for the revitalization of commerce, handicrafts, and machinery industry.

Perhaps the Western Jin Dynasty would be able to achieve the primary industrial revolution without going through the 'sheep eating man' movement, and China might go the other way, and Sima Shu would never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

Zhang Hua, the supervisor of the Central Committee, thought about it and felt that he still had to cooperate with Sima Shu, so he stood up and asked, "Your Highness, have you prepared the new harness and farming tools needed for horse farming?" ”

Horse farming is an invention that Sima Shu relied on a lot, and he had his subordinates develop a full set of horse farming techniques that fit the current reality as early as in Xincheng.

"Don't worry about this, Master Taifu, Lone has prepared enough new farm tools, in fact, horse farming technology is not the point, and then Lone will give you a detailed introduction to how to use new technologies to carry out a large farm plan!"

Speaking of this, Sima Shu's eyes wandered back and forth on Wang Rong, Wang Yan, Xun Kai, He Yu and other representatives of the family, and everyone couldn't help but bow their heads as soon as they met the prince's gaze, not daring to look at the prince.

It's really a hot face and a cold ass! In the end, only the Pei family accepted the olive branch handed by the prince.

Seeing this situation, Sima Shu sneered in his heart, he didn't care, and said with a chuckle: "This big farm plan is to let everyone use a small amount of manpower to cultivate more land than before, if everyone is willing to join this big farm plan, Lone can assure everyone that in the future, everyone's income will not be much less than before!" ”

"Your Highness, once this big farm plan is implemented, how should we arrange the excess manpower of our various families?" Wang Rong opened his mouth and asked the question that the family was most concerned about, which was the most advantageous weapon that the family could use to threaten the imperial court.

"Hehe, Lord Wang asked well, the excess population can be sold to the imperial court, rest assured that the imperial court will not lose you. As long as you are willing to accept the Big Farm Plan, Lone is willing to buy the surplus population from you at market price. ”

Wang Rong and other ministers of the family were in their hearts, if they didn't have a huge population in their hands, wouldn't they just be a rich man. Once they commit a crime, as soon as the imperial army arrives, they have no other way out but to tie their hands and capture them.

Now they are emboldened not because they have money and people. If the crown prince is allowed to cut off one of their arms, I am afraid that in the future, it will no longer be their family that has the final say!

In the end, the other families did not compromise with Sima Shu, no matter how clever Sima Shu was, the Wang family, the Yang family, the Chen family, the Xun family, and the He family were still unmoved, and finally Sima Shu left the hall in a rage, and the court meeting was interrupted.

Sima Shu expressed his great disappointment in this, and originally planned to turn the land occupied by the great family into private large farms and pastures through the big farm plan, just like the enclosure movement adopted by the emerging bourgeoisie and new aristocracy in England in the 15th and 18th centuries during the dissolution of feudal serfdom.

However, Britain expelled the peasants from the land by violent means, forcibly occupied the peasants' share of land and public land, deprived the peasants of their land use rights and ownership, restricted or abolished the original common right to cultivated land and animal husbandry, and enclosed the forcibly occupied land and turned it into privately owned large pastures and farms.

This is the "enclosure movement" in British history.

Sima Shu, on the other hand, wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Chinese population was at a low ebb and part of the land was concentrated in the hands of the big families to complete the land enclosure movement with Chinese characteristics. In this case, the population liberated in the Central Plains can be consumed by the extra factories in the Guanzhong area.

Britain realized the transformation of the feudal system into capitalist production relations through the enclosure movement, and finally established the capitalist social system through the bourgeois revolution in the mid-16th century.

So could Sima Shu liberate the Chinese peasants from the land and invest in the emerging handicrafts, industries, and commerce through the big farm plan, so as to promote the economic development of the Jin Dynasty.

Who knew that before this plan was launched, it was given a blow to the head by the family!

Seeing Sima Shu leave angrily, those big families were a little uneasy in their hearts, and from the prince's past behavior, it could be seen that this lord was by no means a master who easily admits defeat. Who knows what else the prince hasn't used yet?

Zhang Hua shook his head and sighed, to be honest, since he saw the prince's performance in the Pei family, he was very optimistic about the big farm plan proposed by the prince.

However, Zhang Hua was not optimistic about the big industrial and commercial plans proposed by the prince, because he felt that since fewer people could manage more land, the extra people could completely cultivate more land instead of engaging in some unpromising handicrafts.

"Your Highness, you don't have to be too angry, these families have not seen the benefits of the big farm plan, and I believe that as long as it is the end of the year, when the advantages of the big farm are reflected, those families will naturally agree to His Highness's plan!" Zhang Bin followed Sima Shu to the side hall, and when he saw the still angry prince, he couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade.

Sima Shu glanced at Zhang Bin, shook his head and said, "Meng Sun, it's not that Lone is sad about this, but that he feels cold for the selfishness of the family. These so-called families claim to be the elite of the imperial court, but they don't have a long-term vision! is always staring at his own one-third of an acre, and he will not do anything for the country and the court at all! ”

"Mr. Mengsun, looking at the history of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, we can always find that in the last years of the dynasty, the reason why the dynasty collapsed, in addition to natural disasters [***], is that the land is too concentrated is a very important reason. Lone proposed this big farm plan this time, just to explore a new way! ”

"But Your Highness, isn't such a big farm plan to encourage the centralized use of land?" After all, Zhang Bin was an ancient, and he couldn't fully understand what Sima Shu meant, since the prince was worried that the land was too concentrated, why did he encourage the large farms to concentrate land.

Mr. Mengsun is right, the big farm plan does encourage the centralized use of land, and if there is no auxiliary means such as large industry, handicrafts, and commerce, the extra population will definitely cause social unrest. Therefore, we need to attract the people who have been liberated from the land to other places, so that the country's economy will develop and the society will be stable! ”

"Big industry, handicrafts? What is it? Zhang Bin didn't quite understand this, "Is this possible?" ”

"Yes, of course! Lone is not a momentary idea, Lone has been experimented in the new city area, and such measures are indeed very effective! ”

"Your Highness, since the family doesn't know what to do, then we might as well be ruthless! It's really not possible to uproot them, we have the foundation of the center, and we don't need to look at the faces of those big families! ”

"Alas! Wait a minute, if it's just a big family, it's easy to do, but there are also princes and kings eyeing each other, and the grassland aliens who are about to move, so you can't be in a hurry! ”
