Chapter 174, self-defeating

174

In the next two years, Yuan Yilin would come twice a year, and after making sure that he was okay, he repeatedly explained and left again, while Ji Xi was obsessed with visualization and couldn't extricate himself.

At this moment, Langya Pavilion has established its headquarters, which is in the south of Laoshan Mountain, that is, Qingdao on the earth!

From the beginning to the present, in the past 19 years, the powerful and most favored in the family have been spurred to continuously improve their strength all day long, while the unfavored have proposed to contribute to the family, hoping to get a sum of money and exercise their abilities, so as to concentrate funds and buy the entire Qingdao and the land around Laoshan Mountain.

Since it is saline, the price is quite cheap. However, some of the fields surrounding Laoshan have become fertile fields through streams and waterfalls, about 1,000 acres.

The total population of the world in the seven countries is more than 8 million households, calculated by five people per household, that is, more than 42 million people, which is equivalent to one out of 85 people is extraordinary, this proportion is not low, the main thing is that most of the elite transcendents accompany their families on vacation in the Great Qin World (Yaluo + Daqian).

Zhenguo, located in the southwest of the world, is located in the middle of the pass, and Hangu Pass is the front line, similar to the Qin State of the earth.

Due to the surrounding alien race, the Zhen ** team is excellent, the style of martial arts is rampant, and its generals are generally stronger than the generals of other countries.

Nowadays, all countries respect each other's thrones, and the supreme ruler of Zhen is naturally Emperor Zhen, and Emperor Zhen is divided into two parts, which are prime ministers and imperial historians.

Among them, the prime minister inherited the emperor's edict, commanded hundreds of officials, and took charge of government affairs, but because Emperor Zhen reprimanded Huaxu God as obscene, the prime minister told the old man to return to his hometown, and at the same time, Jiuqing was also idle and temporarily replaced by a deputy.

And the Imperial Doctor is in charge of supervising hundreds of officials, as the Prime Minister of Zuo, and the Imperial Doctor has not been entangled in the struggle for the throne, and has been watching coldly and abiding by his duties.

In terms of military power, Emperor Zhen is the supreme commander of all soldiers, personally leading 20,000 forbidden troops, but they are generally managed and trained by the deputy commanders appointed by him, and there are also lieutenants who lead 5,000 city defense battalions to be responsible for the security of the imperial city, but the attitude has been very clear to the prince.

At the same time, there were six generals outside the city who were in charge of an army of 30,000 to defend the imperial city.

And now, Emperor Zhen has thirteen sons, who are born to the queen and the concubine, the concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the Ning concubine. Among them, the queen gave birth to the crown prince, the third prince, and the ninth prince, of which the third prince died young, the third son of the concubine, only the sixth prince survived, the concubine gave birth to four sons, only the fifth prince survived, two sons of virtuous concubines, eleven princes, twelve princes, and Ning Concubine gave birth to thirteen princes.

That is to say, at present, there are only the crown prince (empress, 31 years old), the fifth prince (Concubine De, 26 years old), the sixth prince (concubine, 26 years old), the ninth prince (empress, 23 years old), the eleventh prince (virtuous concubine, 20), the twelfth prince (virtuous concubine, 18), and the thirteenth prince (Ning concubine, 18 years old).

At present, there are powerful princes, five princes, and six princes, and the rest are powerless, of course, this powerlessness is viewed at a higher level, for the people, the status is still noble and extraordinary, but no one will offend them for no reason.

And at this moment, it is March 12, 119, in the early morning of Zhenguo.

On this day, Emperor Zhen Qi rarely took time to call the only remaining seven princes, planning to test them for the school, he glanced over the seven sons, and swept his eyes on the figure of the prince, his eyes sighed a little that time has passed, and the eldest son, who was cute and well-behaved in his childhood, has now grown up.

He groaned slightly, and then said: "Governing the country is naturally equal to civil and military, and you are the prince, and force is the most secondary, the first is to have a certain ability to govern the country, and second, it is naturally the ability to lead the army to fight, unless you have the power of a dragon." ”

As soon as these words fell, the face of the sixth prince was a little more unnatural, he is the kind of supremacy of force, as long as there is force, everything else is a chicken, and the emperor's words clearly cut off the possibility of him competing for the throne.

"Today, I will take the school examination for you, if you are given a county town, and you are given three years to make it prosperous, and the people do not complain in the slightest, what will you do?

Prince, you are an example, tell me what you think. ”

The prince pondered for a moment and then said, "If I rule a county and make it prosperous...... Naturally, it is to lower agricultural taxes, attract people to come, improve public order, build waterwheels, dig ditches, build bridges for the benefit of the people, and stabilize grain prices, so that in this way, it will naturally prosper in less than three years. ”

The Emperor nodded and looked at the Five Princes.

The fifth prince muttered: "I naturally have no objection to His Royal Highness the Prince's words, but I need to add a few points, first, attract merchants, encourage production, attract merchants with special products, and naturally build a port if it is near the river." ”

"Hmm." The emperor fell into deep thought, and then nodded as well, and did not comment, but looked at the six princes.

"Of course, it is the first martial arts competition in the world, and there must be a lot of people who come to my county, isn't this prosperous?" The sixth prince said triumphantly.

The crown prince and the fifth prince lowered their eyes and did not speak.

The emperor also nodded, and immediately looked at the Nine Emperors, who said without hesitation: "I agree with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words, businessmen are profit-seeking and mercenary, and their existence will only make people's hearts impetuous, unable to cultivate quietly, but will cause the people to leave the fields." ”

The eleventh and twelfth princes agreed with the words of the five princes.

When I got here, the factions were clear at a glance, and the six princes were a little anxious, seeing that the two elder brothers all met, but none of them met, didn't this make it clear that their own methods were not possible? Obviously, he came up with it in a flash of inspiration, and he stared at the thirteenth prince with a threatening gaze at the moment.

The thirteen princes are naturally Yuan Yilin, but in this life his surname is Ji and his name is Pheasant, and he is in a dilemma at the moment, the first is to echo the six princes, but obviously tells them that he supports the six princes, and second, if he supports other princes, he obviously offends the six princes.

After much muttering, under the emperor's gaze, he decided to express his opinion:

"Father, if a county town is prosperous within three years, the sons have a shallow view."

The emperor was a little surprised, he originally thought that his youngest son must also support one of the statements, and in the emperor's heart, he really didn't care about his youngest son, and he just stared at it, but he felt that these thirteen sons looked more like what he looked like when he was young.

"Well, tell me, I listen."

"First of all, reduce agricultural taxes and commercial taxes, it doesn't take too much, half of it is enough, I want to ask my father, how is the road condition?"

"Road conditions?"

"Is it the road, is it flat and wide, or is it a muddy trail in the mountains?"

"What do you say about flat and wide? What about muddy trails? ”

"The former doesn't need to build roads, just send soldiers to patrol back and forth, and if there are bandits, they will be leveled. If it is the latter, it is natural to build roads. May I ask my father, are there any displaced people? ”

"So what? What if not? ”

"Yes, in exchange for work, let the displaced people build roads, if not, let the soldiers pave the roads in the name of training, if there is money and food, then hire the people, first threaten with forced labor, and then take out a little money and food to hire, and the people will naturally rejoice. May I ask my father, there is spare land in the county. ”

The emperor had already sat up straight at this moment, leaned forward slightly, and leaned sideways to Yuan Yilin: "What if there is?" What if not? ”

"If so, nature tempted the people to build watermills, ditches, and markets, or to plant designated crops, and after three years gave them ten acres of land. If not, they will build workshops, recruit landless people, engage in processing, handicrafts, produce high-quality and low-cost products, and use these products to attract merchants to come, and at the same time solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.

In addition, if there are many landless people or if the harvest is not good, the price of grain will be suppressed, and if there is a large number of landed people and there is a bumper harvest, the grain will be absorbed as a reserve and the price of grain will be raised.

Of course, while encouraging merchants, it is also necessary to suppress and restrict merchants, and each person per household should control about 100 acres of land, and at the same time encourage the people to engage in farming. ”

After Yuan Yilin finished speaking, he stopped with his head lowered calmly, although he revealed a lot of things, but he didn't say more, before he entered, he redeemed a guide, which was about how to start from scratch in the feudal empire, which contained a large number of industrial development guides, as well as the production of some daily products.

The emperor looked at Yuan Yilin in a daze, came back to his senses in a half-ring, and asked, "Finished?" ”

"That's it."

The emperor nodded, recovered his previous look, and immediately commented: "Among the seven people, the thirteen sons said the most, but I Zhenguo, one of the agricultural wars first, is good, but I am still too young, I underestimate those merchants, they can even sell the country for money, the lessons of the Xia Kingdom, have you forgotten?"

Well, this time for the school examination, the prince said well, okay, you can go back. ”

Yuan Yilin's face was not the slightest different, he did this after careful consideration, his foundation was shallow, and he couldn't cause any harm to the prince and others, but he emerged and brushed his sense of existence.

Out of the Qinzheng Palace, the prince turned to Yuan Yilin and said with a smile: "What the old man said today is quite exciting, I was fascinated by it, and it really inspired me a lot, speaking of which, our brothers haven't spoken for several years, and they must come to my palace outside the palace another day." ”

The fifth prince also showed a friendly expression, patted Yuan Yilin's shoulder affectionately, gave an extremely exaggerated thumbs up, and said: "Ten years without a sound, a blockbuster!" Wonderful! It opened my eyes, I have time to go to my house to sit, or I will go to your house to sit, haha, I still have something to do, go first! ”

Saying that, the two led more than a dozen people to be "friendly" to each other, with "smiles" on their faces, and after greeting each other without being salty or indifferent, they parted ways and left.

The sixth prince looked at Yuan Yilin with a strange face for a long time, nodded constantly, squeezed out several consecutive "good" words in his throat, and then turned his head and left.

Yuan Yilin shook his head, he naturally saw that the six princes were just a reckless man, and the crown prince and the second prince might be able to succeed to the throne, but he was the only one who had no chance, and said secretly in his heart: "Don't do anything stupid, otherwise you will kill yourself, according to the plan planned by the family leader, you can still live for a few years." ”

And the six princes snorted angrily and returned to their mansion outside the palace, entered the door without saying a word, with a gloomy face, picked up a large bowl and drank the prepared wine, and then threw it on the table casually.

At this time, a dusty black and thin man walked in, and when he saw the sixth prince bowing his head, he said: "Your Highness, the people below have seen the carriage of the thirteen princes in the south of Lishan, and they sent someone to quietly inquire and found that the thirteen princes seem to have raised a six-year-old child there, and several slaves are taking care of them. ”

Yesterday I worked overtime!! It's crazy.
