Surname...

It was a controversial dynasty, and it can be said that it seemed to some as if it were their dream era.

But also in the eyes of others, or most people, the name represents humiliation and unwillingness.

Because there are many dynasties in the Central Plains, but they are as aggrieved as the Great Song Dynasty.... I dare not say that it is unique, but it is definitely not normal.

But... It is such a humiliating dynasty, but it also has some unpredictable places.

For example, the Great Song Dynasty is a magical place, before him, there was a milk is a mother, and a soldier is a father, and it was an era when the table was overturned at every turn.

There is no politeness and shame in all people, and no one ever pays attention to loyalty or not.

Countless eloquent monarchs eventually lost at the hands of their own people, and jealousy and suspicion pervaded every inch of the land of that era.

But after the Great Song Dynasty, 100,000 heroic souls were buried in the sea in the Battle of Yashan, and loyal people emerged in endlessly.

Although the result of this battle was really sad, in the end, the Yuan army won more with less, and the Song army was completely annihilated.

However, the famous minister Lu Xiufu committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea with the young emperor Zhao Yu on his back, and many loyal ministers followed him, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians jumped into the sea to die in the country, and this loyalty and integrity seemed to have returned to the land of the Central Plains again.

After that, although the inheritance of the Central Plains was broken a lot, many things happened later.

But the two most important words in the land of China - integrity!

Finally, I let people continue it!

This is a very helpless thing, a disgraceful dynasty but it has kept the most important thing in the Central Plains.

Similarly, there was another thing that happened in the Great Song Dynasty that was equally unpredictable, but very surprising, and that was the matter of land!

Since ancient times, or in the world where Yang Wan once was, the land of China where he was located for more than two thousand years or even a few years ago has been a standard agricultural country.

What is most important to them as an agricultural powerhouse?

Land, of course!

Because of the land annexation, the dynasty eventually collapsed, and that is innumerable.

Therefore, the various dynasties were even more cautious about the affairs of this land, and tried all kinds of methods.

Whether it's a hard soft or a conspiracy, I've thought of all the ways I can think of anyway, but.... The result is really... Quite helpless.

Perhaps, just like today's Wu Dynasty, it can treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

It can even be said that even the symptoms cannot be cured, because this can only be governed for a while, and population and land are always two opposite things....

But in thousands of years of history, there is still a dynasty that has really solved this matter!

His land was dwindling, but its population was slowly increasing, and most importantly it had no problems at all.

It can't be said that there are no problems, only that ... It didn't collapse because of the land issue, and even... It is slowly ceasing to be dependent on the most important thing like land.

Among all the dynasties in ancient and modern times, only the Great Song Dynasty never suppressed land annexation, and even more so did not care about it at all.

It has its own solution to this problem, which is to make the people no longer dependent on the land.

Yang Wan had heard such an argument that was a little ridiculous, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"The land of a dynasty is certain, and the grain that can be produced from these lands is actually certain, but the question is whether this grain can be collected.

In other words, as long as the land owned by the dynasty grows enough food to feed the people of the dynasty.

Then it doesn't matter whose hands the land of this dynasty is.

Because even if they put it in their own granary... It's not for this grain to give birth to children! ”

On the contrary, the population of this dynasty was not fixed, because natural and man-made disasters and wars would continue to decrease, and even could not support the normal operation of the dynasty.

Because of the relative stability of life and the decrees of the imperial court, the population increased dramatically, so that the dynasty could not support these populations.

This is all the reason for the chaos of the dynasty.

And if a dynasty wants to develop steadily, what it needs is to ensure the number of people at the same time, but also to ensure that these people can have a mouthful of food, or have a job that can allow them to eat a mouthful of food.

And this is the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty!

Replace agriculture with light industry! ”

How this argument came about in the first place, Yang Wan has forgotten.

However, of course, he knew that this argument was very shallow and there were many problems, but now Yang Wan really suddenly felt that this matter could be talked about.

At this time, Yang Wan looked at Gu Juntong in front of him, and after a short period of thinking and clarifying his thoughts, he also said his own set of theories obtained from the story of the Great Song Dynasty.

With light industry... In other words, merchants are used to drive the circulation of money and silk, and then the money is used to buy enough grain for hoarding.

After that, food is used to relieve the pressure on the people, and more people are freed up to do what they have to do, and then an orderly cycle is slowly formed.

This theory doesn't sound problematic, and it's not all that sensational.

At least Gu Juntong didn't feel any "shocking" thoughts after listening to it.

It's just that after a short period of contemplation, Gu Juntong still looked at Yang Wan with some doubts, and that familiar doubt had already made Yang Wan reluctantly ignore it.

I continued to ask what I was thinking.

"Well... But it's not good! ”

"Huh?" Yang Qian didn't seem to understand the meaning of this sentence, "This is good, this is not good, what is not good, what is not good?"

Brother Gu's words made Yang have a... Feel like listening to nonsense! “

Yang Wan thought about it for a long time, but finally didn't say the sentence "Listen to your words... I just listened to the words," he said.

However, this face was also a little unhappy, and he felt that this Gu Juntong seemed to be a little excessive.

Although he doesn't know where this guy makes himself feel excessive....

And Gu Juntong couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Yang Wan, whose face had changed, as if he saw Yang Wan's displeasure, so he immediately explained.

"Brother Yang misunderstood, Gu didn't mean to prevaricate just now.

It's just Brother Yang's words.... To be honest, Brother Yang's words are not something that no one has thought about, even his father is thinking of a similar way because of the current situation and his miserable life.

Although it is not as specific as Brother Yang, it can be regarded as a similar method.

Merely.... This was ultimately ignored by my father.

Does Brother Yang know why? ”

"This.... How do I know this? ”

Yang Wan couldn't help but pouted at this time, although he was no longer the son of the capital gentleman he used to be.

But he is not a wonderful and glamorous resourceful person, how does he know what Mr. Gu thinks, if he knows... So he can still mix here?

However, Yang Wan didn't understand, but Gu Juntong wouldn't pretend to be deep here.

"Brother Yang, of course your method is good, you can quickly give the imperial court a way to alleviate the excessive number of people.

There is no need to worry about whether this method will succeed, because there are a lot of people in my Wu Dynasty, and there are many talented people and talented people who have never met each other.

There are even countless people who feel that they have talents.

As long as the imperial court gives a few promises and guarantees, they will flock to it, and it doesn't matter if these people succeed or not.

But as long as they appear, those idle young people can have a removal, at least this time will not make the court continue to be embarrassed.

Of course.... The imperial court can also relieve the pressure and have more time to settle them.

This is certainly good. ”

"Hmm...."Yang Qian also nodded slightly at this time, and couldn't help but sigh a few words in his heart, there is really a gap between people.

I've been in this world for so long, and I still have some thinking that can't adapt to this world, but after listening to my own words, this kind of idea that can be said to be "cross-century" has already understood.

And also the ability to draw inferences...

What is it called?

This is called a profession!

But after talking about the benefits, Gu Juntong naturally has disadvantages waiting for him.

"Brother Yang, although your method is good, it is the same as what the copyist planned back then, and it also has troubles.

One could even say .... There are uncontrollable aftermaths, and they are even more serious than they are today! ”

As soon as Gu Juntong's words came out, Yang Wan's brows, which had just been soothed, frowned again, and at the same time, his face changed again.

"Brother Gu, isn't there some... Alarmist! ”

"Brother Yang, please don't get angry yet..."

"I have a good temper and don't get angry!"

"That's... Why don't Brother Yang put down the teacup first? Gu Juntong looked at the tea cup that had appeared in Yang Wan's hand at some point, and his face couldn't help but twitch a little.

In this posture of holding the tea cup, the last time he saw his life was when his father directly picked up the inkstone and threw it at himself.

Looking at Yang Wan in front of him, he always felt that something was about to fly to his face in the next moment.

This feeling made him a little worried.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem.... Sorry, get used to it! Yang Wan put down the teacup with his hand, and then put his hand on the table beside him.

That's also very skillful!

Yang Wan swore that this was definitely not his intention, and the series of actions just now seemed to have been engraved in his body.

When I'm in a bad mood, I seem to want to pick up something from my side and find an opportunity to drop it on the other person's face...

Yang Wan swore again that he really didn't mean to do this... Definitely not!
