Chapter 20: The Right Thing at the Wrong Time
"Are you doing it for the world?" Yang Qian looked at Gu Juntong in front of him, and was stunned for a while and didn't react for a while What this guy was saying just now, "Isn't Gu Xianjun's hangover yesterday still sober?" ”
"The lower official doesn't dare, but what the lower official said is true!"
"It's true, but you can tell me, how can you be true!" Yang Qian saw that this Gu Juntong was still talking nonsense at this point, so he was really a little angry.
"You'd better give me an explanation today, or else... You're afraid you won't be able to get out of here. ”
After hearing Yang Wan's words, Gu Juntong didn't feel any fear, he just looked at Yang Wan in front of him very indifferently, and then bowed slightly and asked a series of questions.
"Can the envoy know how many ridges can be used for cultivation in this northwest land, and what is the annual yield?"
"The imperial court calculates the population every year, how many people did this northwest land have in previous years, and how many people are there now, since the envoy is from the imperial court, then he thinks he has a number in his heart, right?"
"In addition, the envoy knows how much the people in the northwest need to eat every day..."
"That's it!" Yang Wan directly raised his hand to interrupt these words, it was not that he couldn't listen to it or was annoyed and angry, but he didn't know these at all.
Before coming.... Before he came, he was still thinking about the emerald flowers of the Yi Red Mansion!
Looking at Yang Qian's gloomy face, Gu Juntong seemed to understand something, and his face was a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed at the same time.
But soon he let his face return to normal, he didn't know what kind of virtue Yang Wan was in Kyoto, but he had been preparing for today for a long, long time.
"The envoy, the subordinate has now prepared a list of all the accounts required by the envoy, and please take a look."
With Gu Juntong's words, several thick accounts appeared in front of Yang Wan, and when he looked at it casually, he saw a bunch of numbers that made him dizzy.
But fortunately, this world has been taught by the scribe, and there has been a lot of progress in this record book, at least the form is quite good.
Although Yang Yi couldn't tell if there were any fake accounts in this account book, he really saw something different from it.
"This..."
"I think the envoy has already discovered that there are already problems in the fields of my northwest land in the past few years.
In that year, Wen Zhaogong helped His Majesty to sit firmly in the world, and in order to win the hearts of the people of the world, he began to divide the fields, directly measured the ridges of the fields in the world, and then forcibly distributed them to the people of the world.
Even in order to allow the people to have land in their hands in the future, it will not be seized by others, following the system of the first Zhou Dynasty in those years, and all the fields and ridges will be assigned to the state, and the people are not allowed to buy and sell at will.
The Envoy thinks this is a good thing? ”
"That's a good thing!" When Yang Wan replied to this sentence again, it was called a pleasure!
Although he is the one who is evil now, he still thinks that this is a good policy, after all, their old Yang family did not start from many fields.
If they want money, they have money, if they want food... They don't rebel, why do they save so much food when they are idle?
As for the wealthy family .... What should exist is still there, what doesn't exist has been cleaned up, and this thing itself is constantly being updated these years!
Therefore, the ridges under the sky are given to the people who should be given the most, which is of course an excellent thing in Yang Wan's eyes, even if he is not a saint for the country and the people, he thinks so!
It's just that when Yang Wan finished speaking, Gu Juntong couldn't help but shake his head.
"I understand the meaning of the envoy, and even this is the original intention of the copyist back then, but after so many years, things are wrong!
It is only in this northwestern land that the people were given ridges of fields, they could grow food, and in the first few years, without the oppression of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, they could even eat a meal of meat around the winter festival.
What a happy day it was, but how long could it last? ”
"That's naturally going to be able to be..."
"Does the envoy also think that the things of this world are immutable?" Gu Juntong directly interrupted Yang Wan's words with a loud shout, "How has Your Majesty done all these years?"
Although the world is not so stable, for many years, His Majesty has not built palaces, not conscripted many levies, and has not used troops to recuperate so that the people can live better.
I don't know if such an emperor can be regarded as a Ming monarch? ”
"....." Yang Wan heard these words, thinking of the policies of the world over the years, and after his last short silence, he nodded slowly, "For the people, Your Majesty is indeed a Ming Jun!" ”
For the copyist, it may not be the case.
"Such a Ming monarch governs the world, and there is farmland in his hands, God has blessed my Wu Dynasty over the years, I dare not say that the wind and rain are smooth, but it can be regarded as giving hope to the people of my Wu Dynasty.
I don't know what the envoy thinks, in this case .... The people of my Wu Dynasty and the people of my northwest eat some good food, build a good house, and have a few more children to strengthen the family.
Is it really unforgivable, and it is really a heinous sin?"
"Nonsense, you don't want to talk nonsense here!" Yang Wan almost jumped up directly after hearing Gu Juntong's words, "This is just human nature..."
"But it's this person's nature that makes them unable to live!
Twenty years... Twenty years have passed since the first division of the field!
In twenty years' time, the children of those people have grown up, and they now need a livelihood, a living livelihood to support themselves!
I wonder what method the envoy thinks the official should use to support them?
If it is the heir in the government-run workshop, they can also take over their elders and continue to go to the government-run workshop to learn a craft.
But will this ruler divide their father's and mother's land?
A few years ago, the official did not think of other ways to reclaim new land, and even took out the Shace of the Northwest to govern this place.
Let the people in the northwest go to cultivate anti-sarin to alleviate it, but how to calculate the cost, how to calculate the cost, the children of those people have not experienced the misery of their ancestors, and they can't stand this.
They don't want that, so what?
Wen Copying Gong created a dream for the people of the world, but now, this dream.... It's just broken.
Envoy, please also tell the lower officials what we should do at such a time to let their dreams continue. ”
