Chapter 7 I don't know what my father-in-law thinks?
The two followed the sound and found that it was Xiao Xian who was laughing.
Seeing that Gao Zongxian's face was not good, Mu Qingfeng just vented his dissatisfaction:
"You eunuch, it is an honor for Your Highness to let you listen to politics, how dare you interrupt?"
Gao Zongxian thought so, thinking that he could finally make Xiao Xian deflated, but Xiao Xian stepped forward with a smile:
"I'm sorry, it's so ridiculous, I can't help but laugh out loud."
In his previous life, as a Chinese medicine practitioner, Xiao Xian also read a lot of ancient texts in order to be able to understand medical books.
Coupled with the learning insights of later generations, he thinks he has some suggestions for this kind of thing.
That Mu Qingfeng's strategy seems to be good at first glance, it is a good thing to kill three birds with one stone!
But is that really the case?
If you want to change rice to mulberry, you must require that the court at that time was highly centralized, and the ruling emperor could be ruthless, and in addition, the people had to agree.
These three points are indispensable.
And today's Emperor Chu, when he founded the country, he had some iron-blooded means, but now that others are in their twilight years, they are already heroes in their twilight years, and they have more than enough strength but not enough strength.
In addition, Da Chu has just been founded, and it is a time when internal and external troubles are constantly occurring and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, let alone the prosperity of centralized power.
It would be nice to be able to quell a local rebellion, and change rice to mulberry? Joke!
At this time, Mu Qingfeng was really angry. Xiao Xian's words undoubtedly trampled the results of His Majesty's and their ministers' hard thinking!
"I wonder what this father-in-law thinks?"
Mu Qingfeng thought that it would embarrass Xiao Xian, but he didn't think about it, Xiao Xian asked directly:
"Dare to ask Lord Mu, this plan was proposed by His Majesty? Or did the ministers propose it? โ
"It's the right side."
Mu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and said: "The right minister is the head of the Great Chu Qunchen, you dare to question it?" โ
"Okay, then dare to ask if there is any official controversy after this plan is proposed?"
"It is normal for the ministers to have different political opinions, and it is normal to have disputes, if the father-in-law wants to ask something, he can directly find out."
"Okay." Xiao Xian nodded helplessly, it was really the same as he guessed, and the one who made the plan was also a second goods.
"Then let me ask again, the initially selected implementation site is a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River?"
"How do you know?"
Mu Qingfeng was shocked, did this eunuch deduce it by himself? Or did someone leak it to him?
As early as the time of the dispersal of the dynasty, he came to report on the first time he returned to the palace, and even if there was a leak, it was impossible to be so fast, and it was still known to a eunuch of the East Palace.
Xiao Xian didn't answer, but continued to ask, "Master Mu was born poor, so he must not be able to fully integrate into the circle of courtiers, right?" โ
"At present, most of the courtiers of Great Chu are from the gentry and wealthy families of the previous dynasty, and they have influence in various places."
"Do you believe it, as long as Your Majesty decrees, those officials will buy fertile land in various parts of the Chu State in advance, and even conspire with merchants to lower the price of land and seize it?"
"Even in order to accomplish political achievements, he did not hesitate to destroy dikes, flood fertile land, and put thousands of people in dire straits?"
"The Great Chu Dingguo is short, and the people of the world are not yet at peace, and they will suffer this change again. You guess...... Will it cause a popular unrest to the point ofโ"
"Enough!"
Mu Qingfeng trembled, and his back was covered with cold sweat.
Xiao Xian's words reminded him of back then, why did he follow Emperor Chu to rebel, wasn't it because local corrupt officials were rampant and he couldn't survive?
And Xiao Xian's calculations can be said to be in the minds of those officials, and it may not even be enough, driven by interests, they will not care about the life or death of Da Chu!
It was precisely because of this that he didn't dare to underestimate Xiao Xian at the moment.
The two seemed to collide in their minds, and after looking at each other, they could see the shock in each other's eyes.
Especially Gao Zongxian, his eyes were full of surprise when he looked at Xiao Xian.
Just a eunuch, like a hooligan, how can he have such vision?
Especially a fake eunuch, who sent it in?!
