Chapter 325: Formal Debriefing (Part II)

Fanning bowed slightly: "The land allocated to the immigrants is actually contiguous and suitable for planting patches of wheat, if each peasant household grows grain, vegetables, and mulberry hemp in their own land, the whole wheat field will become broken and messy, and irrigation and harvesting are inconvenient, so while the lowly post is distributing the grain field, it is also their living needs to grant vegetable fields and mulberry fields elsewhere." ”

"But you can give less grain fields, and count vegetables and mulberry fields into the quota of two hectares of land."

Fan Ning was silent for a moment and said: "Kunzhou is vast and sparsely populated, rather than being barren and wasteful, it is better to give it to the people, which can be regarded as making full use of the land, not to mention that they reclaim the wasteland to grow vegetables by themselves, ten years later, the land will still belong to themselves, it is better to be favored by the government, this is a humble idea." ”

Fu Bi nodded and said with a smile: "Fan Zhizhou has the suffering of the people in mind and has done a good job, I completely agree, I don't have any other problems." ”

Wen Yanbo looked at everyone again, "Which one should continue to ask?" ”

Seeing that no one agreed, he said to Fan Ning: "Then let me ask a question, it is about brothels, I personally think that the government first opened a brothel in Kunzhou, which is very unseemly, which I can't accept, can I please explain Fan Zhizhou?" ”

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "First of all, I want to correct Xianggong Wen's statement, the government has never opened a brothel in Kunzhou, I mean that there are three brothels in Kunzhou, but they are not opened by the government, all of them are Nagasaki Song Dynasty merchants found business opportunities, not only brothels, but also restaurants and grocery stores, all of which were opened by themselves, and have nothing to do with the government." ”

"But it's also encouraged by the government, right?" Wen Yanbo was not satisfied with Fanning's answer.

Fanning did not mention the brothel in his report, and Wen Yanbo apparently got the news from some source.

Fanning knew that Wen Yanbo's question could be answered with just one sentence of business behavior, but it would definitely have a bad impact on his debriefing, after all, brothels could not be put on the table, and Wen Yanbo's question represented the thoughts of a large part of the officials.

Fan Ning thought for a while and said: "The Kunzhou government has never encouraged the opening of brothels, from the beginning of the appearance of three, to now two years later, there are still only three, you can see the attitude of the government, the Kunzhou government is just good, and there is no opposition to businessmen opening brothels." ”

"What is the reason for being so good?" Wen Yanbo continued to ask.

"Returning to Wen Xiangguo, there are two reasons for this, one is the customs of Japan, Japan's pornographic customs are strong, and brothels can be found anywhere, of course, Kunzhou is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with Japan, but those businessmen have been doing business in Japan for a long time, and they have more or less accepted Japanese customs, which is one thing, but it is not the main reason.

The real reason is the need for navigation, living at sea for a long time, whether it is a crew or a soldier, there will be a huge sense of depression in the heart, so after arriving on the shore, the first thing seafarers and soldiers do is to release the inner depression, otherwise it is easy to appear manic, crazy, cannibalistic behavior, the reason why pirates are bloody and cruel, has a certain relationship with this repression.

One way to release inhibitions is to go to a drunken drink and the other is to go to a brothel, which is the main reason why there are so many brothels and taverns in various harbors.

Many long-distance merchant ships had prostitutes, but our fleet did not, and the army strictly restricted soldiers from drinking, so in order to relieve the mental depression of soldiers and crew members at sea, the Kunzhou government did not object to the merchants opening brothels in Tang County, which is the reason for being good. ”

Wen Yanbo didn't mean to target Fanning, but he was personally more anti-Senses Mansion to open a brothel, and now Fanning gave him a convincing reason.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I can accept it!" ”

"I'll ask a question too!" Han Qi, who knew the privy council, said with a smile.

"Han Sang-kook, please!"

Han Qi sighed and said: "There was a battle in Kunzhou last spring, and it was also written in the report that the fleet of the lord of Nagasaki, Hirano Yoshi, was completely annihilated, but I found a strange thing, there was not a single prisoner, that is to say, the Song army drove them all out, I don't sympathize with these Japanese samurai, I just want to know why Zhizhou didn't accept surrender and wanted to kill them all?" ”

Fanning nodded and said: "It is indeed my order, there are two reasons for this, one is the identity of these samurai, they are nominally the local army of Nagasaki, but their other identity is pirates active in Japanese waters, everyone has the blood of innocents on their hands, it can be said that they are innocent, if they are released in the future, they will only continue to plague merchant ships, and even bring a huge threat to the Great Song fleet."

Another reason is that these samurai are extremely lethal and do not surrender to the death, we fought fiercely with them when we captured Tamna Island, and in the end, none of them surrendered, they fought to the death.

Therefore, rushing them to the ship would only cause harm to our soldiers, so I ordered that they should not be rescued on the ship, but not that they should be exterminated, and most of the Japanese samurai were drowned in the sea. ”

"Well said!"

Han Qi praised: "War has always been your life and death, you can't tolerate too many bodhisattvas, forgiving the most vicious enemies is a crime against your own soldiers and good people, I have always advocated killing the enemy, Fan Zhizhou's answer makes me very satisfied." ”

The debriefing has passed three phases, and there are two deputy ministers who have not asked questions, and Zhao Zhen, the son of heaven who is sitting in the back, just listens and does not interrupt Fan Ning's debriefing.

Wen Yanbo looked at Deputy Prime Minister Cheng Lin and Wang Yaochen, and asked with a smile: "Can Cheng Xianggong and Wang Xianggong have any questions?" ”

Cheng Lin smiled; "Fan Zhizhou did a good job, I have no doubt."

Wang Yaochen also smiled: "There are a lot of praises, and I will say them slowly in the future." ”

Both of them said that they did not question it, so that the inquiry of the five prime ministers could be over.

Wen Yanbo nodded, and was just about to report to the Son of Heaven, but at this moment, the university scholar Gao Ruone said: "I have a question to ask Fan Zhizhou." ”

Gao Ruone is the former vice minister, but because of his advanced age, he resigned from his post and is now a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Generally speaking, the state officials do not need to be present at the debriefing, but today, because the Son of Heaven is present at the debriefing, a scholar is required to attend the debriefing.

Han Qi and Fu Bi glanced at each other, their faces became solemn, this Gao Ruone was Lu Yijian's lackey back then, he strongly opposed the Qingli innovation, and attacked Fan Zhongyan frantically, after Lu Yijian's death, he hugged Zhang Yaozuo's thigh again, and he was actually the deputy prime minister, and this person resolutely opposed the overseas opening of Xinjiang, and severely criticized the overseas opening of Xinjiang at several court meetings as a waste of labor and money.

However, his opposition to overseas frontier is only an appearance, and fundamentally he is opposed to the predecessor of the overseas economic strategy Zhao Zongshi to inherit the unification, and supports Zhang Guifei's righteous son Zhao Wenyun to be established as the emperor's heir.

Gao Ruone also knew that he was not qualified to participate in the Zhizhou debriefing, so he said to Zhao Zhen, the son of heaven: "Please allow Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, "Gao Aiqing can ask if you have any doubts!" ”

Gao Ruone said to Fan Ning: "I haven't seen Fan Zhizhou's debriefing report, so I don't ask about Kunzhou, I just want to ask Fan Zhizhou, did you lead the army to attack Goryeo on the way back?" ”

As soon as this question came out, there was an uproar in the court, and Zhao Zhen's brows were furrowed, and he secretly wondered in his heart, 'What's going on?' ’

Wen Yanbo asked anxiously: "Fan Zhizhou, is there such a thing?" ”

Fanning was also surprised in his heart, how could Gao Rune know about this? The soldiers who participated in the war were all in Jiangdu and did not follow them to the north.

He reported this matter to Di Qing, obviously the Xiangguo didn't know about it, and it was definitely not Di Qing's report.

Fan Ning thought that when he reported to Di Qing, there were two counselors next to him, and Fan Ning immediately understood that one of these two counselors must be Zhang Yaozuo's eyeliner in the Overseas Economic Strategy Mansion.

But Wen Yanbo's question he had to answer, so Fan Ning bowed down and said, "Is this true?" ”

Wen Yanbo was suddenly displeased: "Then why didn't you report to the imperial court, why didn't you write this matter clearly in the debriefing report?" ”

Fan Ning said unhurriedly: "Qi Wen Xiangguo, the report on the lowly post was written in Kunzhou, and the incident in Goryeo happened on the way back, and the lowly post is to exercise the duty of the deputy envoy of the Economic Strategy, I don't think this belongs to the content of the report."

Secondly, the humble post has already reported the matter to the envoy Di Jingluo, and the envoy should report to the Privy Council and the imperial court, and the humble post cannot exceed his authority, not to mention that the humble post just came back yesterday and has not had the opportunity to formally report this matter to the imperial court. ”

Wen Yanbo's face softened slightly, it was the right thing for Fan Ning not to mention this matter in front of the Son of Heaven yesterday, this matter was not an idea or some kind of suggestion, but a matter of state affairs between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo, and it was reported to the Son of Heaven without going through the imperial court, which was a taboo in the court, even the Son of Heaven could not accept it.

Wen Yanbo said again: "Then you will now explain in detail the causes and consequences of the attack on Goryeo!" ”

Fan Ning said lightly: "First of all, I want to say that the high scholar is a bit exaggerated, and the statement of attacking Goryeo is really unaffordable. ”
