When Yang Ming received the news, he was still taking a nap, and it was the crown prince Xian Ma Liu Xuan who ran out of the palace to tell him.

And today's court meeting is very brief, just this one thing, so Yang Xiong and they have already asked to see them outside the gate of King Qin's mansion.

Yang Ming sat on the bed and muttered for a moment, and said to Xu Jing: "Lead them all to the front hall, and I will go to meet them after changing my clothes." ”

The five and a half bigwigs are sitting in the hall in the front courtyard of the Qin Palace, among which Yang Xiong and Yang Hao are the most high-spirited, and the other four are Yang Yue, Xuan Gan, Pei Ju, and Lu Chu.

Yang Hao can only be regarded as half a big man, when he doesn't love money, he can make up for the other half.

"Prince," everyone got up one after another to greet Yang Ming, who came in from behind the screen.

Yang Ming raised his head: "Everyone sit." ”

After Yang Xiong sat down, he first smiled and said, "The prince should already know about the matter, right?" ”

Yang Ming smiled: "That is, half an hour before you came, I just knew." ”

Yang Xiong said: "Is it the crown prince who is persuading Your Majesty behind his back?" ”

He wouldn't believe that Yang Guang took the initiative to do this, because Yang Guang was indeed not that person, so he naturally thought that Yang Ming was behind the scenes, and others thought so too.

"Don't think so," Yang Ming said with a smile: "This matter has nothing to do with me, I know it later than you, and the surprise in my heart is no less than yours." ”

Yang Hao frowned and said: "That's strange, Your Majesty is a little abnormal today, he sealed a group of people in one go, I have never seen such a seal since the founding of the Great Sui, and we can't understand it, so we came to the prince to solve my doubts." ”

You don't understand, I don't understand, Yang Ming smiled: "What's not understand?" Isn't it very reasonable for Your Majesty to cherish the clan and miss the feelings of the clan? ”

Reasonable fart, many of these people were almost killed by him, Yang Xiong smiled and nodded:

"It should be so, the road is simple, we really shouldn't speculate about the holy will."

Yang Yue lowered his head and rubbed the rim of the cup, and sighed: "There are too many seals, and the treasury can't bear the weight." ”

The prince's food is very terrifying, 10,000 households, Yang Guang today is equivalent to adding eight new princes to the Great Sui, four county dukes, and the county duke's food is 1,500 households.

In other words, starting this year, 86,000 households will have to pay taxes to them, and they will no longer have to pay taxes to the state treasury.

More than 80,000 households, according to the total number of 6.5 million households in the Great Sui, it may not sound like much, but don't forget, this is just the beginning, these people will also annex land in the future, and more acres of land will be included in their own names in the way of evading policies.

If you count the total number of clans and food estates now, it basically exceeds 500,000 households, accounting for 13 of the total registered population of the Great Sui.

Coupled with the words of the national duke, the county duke, the county duke, and the county marquis, I dare not imagine it.

Therefore, Yang Yue's sigh made Yang Ming feel very heavy, the big feudal clan, there are pros and cons, the imperial power can be stabilized, if others want to rebel, the difficulty will be doubled, but the disadvantage is that the income of the treasury will be reduced.

What happens when the revenue of the treasury is reduced? plundered by the family, plundered by the family, and passed on layer by layer, and in the end it was the common people who suffered the consequences.

Therefore, the feudal dynasty was carried on the shoulders of the people.

Xuan Gan smiled instead: "The treasury is not short of this money, right?" ”

Yang Yue looked up in astonishment, yes, the treasury is not short of money, because it will look for you when there is no money, how can the country do a loss-making business?

Pei Ju smiled on the side and explained: "This is not a small amount, the prince's food is Yongye Field, that is to say, in the next few decades, the treasury will reduce the tax income of 86,000 households, and it will be 860,000 households in ten years, you calculate, it is a lot." ”

Xuan Gan said with a smile: "If Chengping is today, it is an opportunity to open up sources and reduce expenditure, once the refined steel in Hedong is promoted throughout the country, it is convenient to reclaim wasteland, and the grain output will be greatly increased, and this deficit will be easily made up." ”

"Well said!" Yang Ming patted the table and said with a smile: "Xuan Gan's words are very much in line with my wishes, I have been established in the Sui Dynasty for 30 years, and the system of acres has never been changed. ”

Hiss~~~ Did you misunderstand my words? I don't think I meant that, did I? Xuan is a little confused, I didn't say that I reformed the field system?

As soon as Yang Ming said this, everyone was stunned, and they felt a little shocked.

Reform of the field system is not just a joke, once it is not corrected, it will be a fatal thing, and the current national strength is still stable, not a good opportunity for reform.

Lu Chu shook his head and said: "The field system can't be changed, today's people have grain in every house, every household has land, and people's hearts are at peace, it is the image of the prosperous age, the sage has a word, the country is prosperous, when the country is governed by inaction, the settlement of the country, and the need to make good governance, there is no need to reform the system at present." ”

Everyone agreed.

Yang Ming observed everyone's facial expressions, and he could see that when everyone's interests were the same, they were their own people, and if their interests were contrary, it would not be so.

With one sentence, he tested how difficult it would be to reform the field system, and basically everyone opposed it.

I saw him smile and said: "Lu Zhongshu misunderstood, I mean that we should increase the intensity of reclamation of wasteland, as for how to distribute the reclamation of wasteland, it should be legislated to standardize, and a few systems should be added, which is also slightly changed." ”

"So that's what it means, it scared me," Lu Chu said with a smile: "The prince's idea is good, I have a vast land in the four seas of the Great Sui and Kyushu, and some places used to be really unable to reclaim and hoard land, but now that there is refined steel, reclamation should indeed be encouraged, which is a move to enrich the people and enrich the country." ”

Rich people and rich country? You're the ones who got rich first, right? And if you are rich, you will not bring with you those who will become rich.

In the past, the Great Sui was subject to the relatively backward smelting process, and some places were indeed difficult to cultivate, such as Shanxi, where many places in Shanxi pulled down two feet of soil, which was a stone and could not be cultivated.

If you want to reclaim farmland, you have to dispose of the stone first, this is a big project, you can't really do it without good tools, it's not an ordinary stone, it's a big guy weighing several tons at every turn, or even directly a part of the mountain, even if there are tools, it takes a lot of effort.

In addition, even if it is subject to the flooding of rivers, some places are flooding areas, and there is no way to grow food, and this can only be solved by building water conservancy projects.

This is the trouble of having water, and what about the place where there is no water? Without water, it is impossible to farm, so water storage and diversion projects must also be built.

Therefore, it has never been an easy task to reclaim wasteland, which is a national strategic plan.

Yang Xiong's mood is more complicated at the moment, today is a good thing, why did you come to this trip, I can't be happy? Do you want to learn from your dad too, toss?

Now, what kind of reclamation do you encourage?

"It's just a casual remark of improvisation, you don't have to worry too much," Yang Ming can see that the six people in front of him can't be counted on in the future reform of the field system.

This also made him realize that if he wants to reform, he must reuse those children from poor families, and he can only rely on them.

Pei Ju said with a smile: "It can also be mentioned at the court meeting, but if you want to make it, I'm afraid it's not easy, Lingnan is still a variable at the moment, Feng Ang and they are about to enter Beijing, Your Majesty has always intended to implement my Great Sui Law in Lingnan, the resistance is not small, let's take a look at the problem of Lingnan this time, how it will be solved, if the Juntian system can be implemented in Lingnan, the deficit of the king will be made up, and it will be richer." ”

"Impossible, if Lingnan wants to change, it can only use force," Yang Yue frowned and said: "But at the moment, my country's strength is not enough to use troops against Lingnan, at least for ten years, not enough." ”

The topic was smoothly transferred by Pei Ju, and Yang Xiong also got involved, saying:

"It is not necessarily only by force, if the policy is appropriate and Feng Ang is willing to cooperate, the imperial court can also gradually divide, weaken its local forces, and then use strong officials to pacify, over time, the problem of Lingnan can be solved."

Yang Yue smiled: "How long is it about to watch the king?" ”

Yang Xiong said: "The national policy is not something that can be achieved overnight, as short as ten years, and as long as twenty years. ”

"Isn't that right?" Yang Yue smiled and said, "With Your Majesty's ambition, how can you tolerate Lingnan for twenty years. ”

Yang Xiong was stunned for a moment, and fell into a deep groan, you are right, His Majesty does not have that patience today.

Pei Ju frowned and looked at Yang Yue: "What do you mean, Ning Changzhen entered Beijing this time, and the problem is very big." ”

He was worried that the emperor would kill Ning Changzhen, and then directly use troops against Lingnan, with the emperor's character, he really came out, but at the moment, he really can't use soldiers.

Yang Yue nodded: "I don't look down on Ning Changzhen, but for the sake of the country, no matter what this time, you have to let this person come safely and return safely." ”

At this moment, except for Yang Hao, everyone else understood.

Yang Ming clapped his hands and said: "That's what I mean, this person can't have an accident, everyone must understand this, and when it is time to persuade, try their best to persuade." ”

Persuade whom? Everyone understands in their hearts.

Yang Xiong nodded and said, "Your Highness, rest assured." ”

At this time, a document was sent in from the outside and directly handed to Xuan Gan, and after Xuan Gan read it, he said to Yang Ming:

"Sent by the province of Menxia, Feng Ang and they will arrive at Chang'an Post in three days, according to the regulations, such a feudal official, the Ministry of Rites should send someone to greet them, but Your Majesty means that they are not allowed to welcome."

Good guys, get off the horse and come directly.

Pei Ju frowned and said, "Feng Ang was implicated this time, isn't it a bit inappropriate to do this?" ”

His words must be with a question mark, without a question mark, it is equivalent to directly denying Yang Guang.

Yang Ming smiled: "There is no way to be lucky or bad, but people call themselves, Feng Ang really suffered a loss from Ning Chang this time, if you don't welcome it, you won't welcome it." ”

"The point is, no one greets them, how can they enter the palace?" Xuan Gan smiled bitterly:

"Local officials have to be introduced by Shangshu Province to enter the palace, and the prison gate doesn't care whether you are a general or not, people only recognize the citation document issued by Shangshu Province, Your Majesty is deliberately hanging them first."

Yang Hao said directly: "Then hang them first, what kind of thing, a southern barbarian, what are you doing with him?" ”

Pei Ju immediately raised his eyebrows, he has to be a young man, it's not a big deal to see the excitement.

If only I could have a big heart like you.
