Hua Manting had no answer in his heart.

He knew the predicament faced by Ning Guo, and Wen Zhuan Yu also knew it.

Internal and external troubles still exist.

But whether it is he spending a lot of money or boiling rain, he clearly knows the predicament that Ning Guo is facing now, but he has not thought of a way to break the situation!

Some innings are not easy to break.

For example, lack of food.

There are too many implications for this issue.

Ningguo has the smallest population of the three countries.

In those 20 years, when Ji Tai was in power, due to the heavy taxes, the people could not bear it, so many people from all over the country went up to the mountains to become bandits, and there were countless villages that were deserted.

Even many counties and counties have ten rooms and nine empty rooms.

There is no shortage of land in Ningguo.

What is lacking is the people who farm the land!

But how many people Ningguo has lost in the past 20 years, there is only an approximate figure for the household department.

Just this number makes it difficult to sleep in the warm boiling rain!

Although the imperial court has abolished many taxes, the base of the common people's population has become smaller, and the common people have no extra silver in their pockets.

In many of the poorer places, there is no commercial coverage and no merchants to build workshops.

The people in those poor and remote places, they can't even feed themselves, they don't have the conditions to give birth at all.

After all, it fell on the silver.

Nowadays, although industry and commerce are vigorously promoted throughout the country, the goods produced by merchants need someone to buy them in order to recover their costs and make money.

For a country, the common people are always the largest group.

They don't have the silver to consume, so it is not so easy for commerce to really prosper, which in turn restricts the willingness of merchants to open workshops.

Or did it fall on the silver!

Wen Zhuanyu couldn't think of how to break through this dilemma until the two countries of Wuning were reconciled, and Chen'an proposed to open up the endless pass to promote the flow of commerce and trade between the two countries......

In this regard, there are many discussions in the DPRK and China, and the concern is naturally that the merchants of Wu State will come in with their goods in a big way, whether it will squeeze the living space of the merchants of Ning State.

Wen Zhuyu was also worried, but he still sent Li Wenhou, the secretary of the household department, to Wu to discuss the issue of commercial taxes.

I can only hope that Li Chenan will do something after returning to China.

Chen'an ......

This kid originally just wanted to be a rich man, but now it seems that his ideal is the best.

In life, it is rare to be relaxed and happy.

Now he is coming back to be the emperor of Ningguo......

This emperor is not easy to be!

However, it is not all difficult, Chen An ascended the throne as emperor, and he also had a great advantage.

Hua Manting drank wine and looked at these people in front of him.

In the hearts of these people, the emperor of Ningguo should be Li Chen'an!

I planned so much for Li Chen'an at the beginning, didn't I think Li Chen'an could ascend the throne as the emperor?

Xi Wei has been looking for his ideals all his life, doesn't he just want to find a person with farsightedness and lofty ideas like Li Chenan to be the emperor of Ningguo?

Wen Zhuyu was originally an idle cloud and wild crane, he can be the head of the cabinet with all his heart, isn't he just waiting for this day?

When Su Yi'an was still teaching at the Sanwei Book House in Jingning County, wasn't it precisely because of Li Chen'an's words that he was moved by the words of the peasant businessman that he returned to Kyoto to find his ideals again?

Even many officials in the court asked them to return to the temple because of Li Chen'an's destruction of the Ji Tai line.

Therefore, Li Chen'an becoming the emperor of Ningguo is the real expectation!

Even if he is a happy day, he thinks that it should be so!

"The old man is here to preside over the regent enthronement ceremony!" Mei Fangxi flicked her sleeves, and said very excitedly: "No one is allowed to fight with the old man!" ”

Wen Zhuanyu looked at Mei Fangxi and muttered: "Old Master Mei...... Autumn is not far away. ”

"The regent said that the enthronement ceremony will not be held, please come, just to tell you the regent's entrustment!"

He said...... Talent selection is the key at the moment! ”

"We can still drink, but we are all old."

"But the regent is still young...... He needs more talented young students to accompany him, take Ning Guo, and move forward! ”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

The enthronement ceremony is a big deal!

This is a change in the identity of the regent announced to the world!

It is a clear symbol of Li Chen'an becoming the emperor of Ningguo!

It also means that he has the rightful identity to rule the Ning Kingdom!

"Don't hold an enthronement ceremony?" Mei Fangxi's eyes widened and she looked at Wen Zhuyu in disbelief: "This is not in accordance with the rules!" ”

Wen Boiled Yu grinned:

"Old master, you still don't know much about the regent after all!"

"Rules?"

"What are rules?"

"The regent said that the so-called enthronement ceremony, inviting envoys from various countries to come, that is, spending a lot of taxes and silver paid by the common people to invite people to come and see the fun!"

He said he wasn't playing monkey...... The monkey can also recover a few copper plates! ”

"Don't do this thing that costs money but doesn't do it good!"

"He said that whether he is the emperor of Ningguo or not, it doesn't matter to people from other countries at all!"

"The important thing is that during his reign, he can bring tangible benefits to the people of our Ningguo, so that the people of Ningguo can really be fed and clothed, and there are still dozens of taels of silver left in his pocket for a year......"

"In this case, will the people not support him as an emperor?"

"The people are happy, the merchants are happy, the craftsmen are happy, and everyone in Ningguo is happy...... Such joy is the only way to stop the whole country from celebrating! ”

He said that the material resources of Ningguo and the joy of the country will not be available from now on, and the future will ...... Nor can there be! ”

He said that in order to win the respect of the world, after all, it is necessary for the country to be strong, the people to be rich, and the army to be invincible.

"The rest...... It's all vain! ”

"Inviting envoys from other countries to come and have fun is just putting gold on your face, but it is just working hard and hurting money to satisfy your greedy and vain heart!"

In conclusion, he said that pragmatism for the people is the most basic ethics of every official...... Let's not play those imaginary ones! ”

After Wen Boiling Yu sprinkled his words, Mei Fangxi was silent.

Everyone else was silent.

But there was a voice still echoing in their ears—

Measure the material resources of Ningguo, and form the joy of the country, Ningguo cannot have it from now on, and it cannot have it in the future!

Pragmatic for the people!

Don't play those imaginary ones!

Su Yi'an got up suddenly.

A slap on the table.

"Good!"

"The old man didn't look away!"

"The Future of Ningguo...... Promised! ”

"Drinking...... For the future of Ningguo! ”

It was night, June 24, 24th year of Zhaohua.

Quietly living in the Lingyan Pavilion.

The four old men were drunk together.

Only the flowers are slightly drunk.

He just sat in the Lingyan Pavilion and boiled a pot of tea.

He didn't look at the four people lying on the table.

He kept looking at the lotus pond in the night in Lingyan Lake.

His face was indifferent.

Indifferently is five points of relief.

He seemed to remember something, got up, and picked up the wine jar, only to find that the two jars were empty.

So he picked up the teacup.

Spilled the tea on the floor.

Whispered:

"Forty years is like a dream."

"Xi Wei, you have been chasing your dream."

"It's a pity you died a little younger."

"If you're still alive...... Actually, it's better that you're dead. ”

"You are not as pragmatic as Chen'an!"

"Although your thoughts are high, but now it seems that your so-called thoughts are just flowers in the mirror."

"One country, people-oriented!"

"Chen An is right, the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light...... You're not as good as Chen'an! ”

"I salute you with a cup of tea, and you can watch it from the sky."

"Look at him writing a splendid scroll!"
