Chapter 497

Han Xizai made his first appearance at the imperial meeting, and he talked freely.

"Your Majesty, I have returned to the Central Plains from Jiangnan and traveled for decades and have done a lot of work. Jiangnan is prosperous and prosperous. Since the Anshi Rebellion, aristocratic families have moved south, their cultural heritage is prosperous, and merchants are prosperous. The market is full of shoulders. It is extraordinary... But the old minister often asks himself, can this be a strong country and a prosperous world?"

Han Xizai shook his head and said, "It's not true. There are many powerful people in the fields and Qianmo in Jiangnan, but ordinary people have no place to stand. In Jinling City, there are not many homeless people. Some of them serve the nobles in the Qinhuai River, some carry goods in Pukou, and some just beg in the city... Some of them form gangs, do whatever they want, fight and kill every day, and corpses are common by the river. In this way, can they be considered strong and prosperous?"

His description immediately moved Chai Rong.

Several years ago, Kaifeng was the same, with beggars everywhere, and the people were poor and unable to make a living. Frequent wars and social chaos, the court on the ground, and the underground... The situation is probably much worse than that in Jiangnan.

After Guo Wei ascended the throne, he issued a land grant order in response to these situations. After five years of governance, the Central Plains initially recovered their vitality. When he succeeded to the throne, he implemented a more stringent land clearance and evenly divided the land.

Chai Rong can be proud to say that in Kaifeng, there are many cities, including ordinary counties, where there are no groups of beggars. Hebei, Hedong, Jingmin, and even bandits and bandits were killed.

There are also the places where the Yongji Canal canal transport is most likely to breed gangs, all of which are included in the direct control of the court. Some small hooligans have them, but they can spread the entire canal, with hundreds of halls and hundreds of thousands of people, and there is no gang!

The imperial decree of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a decree, can be implemented on the heads of the vast majority of the people.

This is the power of the country!

Han Xizai observed the situation in the Central Plains all the way, and spent a lot of effort reading official documents and decrees these days to understand the strategies of the court. He was very sure that he was right to come back!

In his sixties, I finally got the right direction!

When he was in Jinling, he heard the scholars who escaped and cursed and called the Central Plains a hell. However, through Han Xizai's observation, it was indeed hell, but it was just a hell for scholars!

All their privileges and advantages were deprived, and the entire society became unprecedentedly fair and just, which was also the realm pursued by Confucians of all generations.

But the problem is that fairness is not the "prince breaks the law and the common people" written on the law. This is a very low-level standard. True fairness is the fairness of property and the equality of opportunities... Throughout history, various games, whether it is chess or Go, Contra Little Overlord, or online mobile games, have one common feature, which is fairness in the starting point.

How many pieces do you have, how many lives do you have, how many lives do you have, what equipment do you have, what equipment do I have... As for how much development you develop later, it depends on your ability, or simply recharge money to exchange it. Of course, there are also people who cheat, so you have to be careful of being hammered by stones.

This is true in the gaming field, but what about reality?

It's really much scarier than the game.

Born in a family of scholars and tenant farmers, he is born to be a clique. Not only does he have no chance to change his destiny in his lifetime, but even for generations.

The so-called poor for only three generations is because three generations are poor and have no money to get married. If you can’t find a wife, you will naturally not have the next generation...

The Great Zhou is absolutely imperfect, and it can be said that it is not even good. There are so many problems... But there is a premise that the Great Zhou is working hard to build a fair and reasonable environment. Everyone can get a small piece of land equally. How to operate it next, whether to make a fortune or not be able to eat depends on your own efforts.

"Your Majesty!" Han Xizai said emotionally: "I think what Jiangnan does is worthy of guarding against and needs to be dealt with carefully, but it is still in equalizing the fields. As long as this national policy is implemented and maintained, the Central Plains will be completely different in a few years. At that time, the people are prosperous, the country is strong, the troops are strong, and the country is strong, and the country is unified, and the country is just around the corner!"

After Han Xizai's words, Chai Rong's face turned red and he nodded frequently.

"I have no hesitation to offend the gentry and the tyrants and the implementation of the Qingzhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-Zhang-

"My memory... obey the order!"

Han Xizai was excited and knelt on his knees, "When the old minister was young, he was confused and mistakenly entered the south of the Yangtze River. Now he has gray hair and is old. I don't know how long he can live! Even if the old minister has a breath, he will repay His Majesty for knowing his favor and devote himself to his death!"

...

This pair of kings and ministers who had met for a while, staged a big drama that moved the world. Li Gu's cheeks next to him were full of bulging cheeks, and he was both angry and hated!

I never thought that my life was actually in Han Xizai's hands!

Nothing is useful now. Wang Pu is named Prime Minister, but in fact he has no interest in government affairs. His energy is now focused on reform and education. This is something he had discussed with Ye Hua for a long time. However, Wang Pu has made no progress in recent years. Until the Dazhou Academy, a sudden emergence of the army, Wang Pu saw hope.

He wanted to refer to Dazhou School, reform all schools and reshape the entire education system.

This matter alone is enough for Wang Pu to work hard.

As for Wei Renpu, it would be good if this old thing didn't sell him, and Xue Juzheng was even more useless. Zhao Pu returned to the court and his Privy Councilor would be removed at any time, and he could not help him... Li Gu was also an old fox for many years, so he was not willing to be punished!

After finally waiting for the imperial meeting to end, Li Gu came straight to Huagai Palace.

"Marty, did Han Xizai arrange it?"

He went straight to the point, Ye Hua did not deny it, but did not admit it, and just smiled faintly, "Gong-in-law Li, do you think what Han Xizai did is inappropriate?"

"Of course not suitable!"

Li Gu leaned forward and said, "Mr. Marquis, I have known you for so many years. Let's tell the truth with all your heart. Do you really want to implement equal land? Or do you really want to clear the land and acres of land as your ultimate goal?"

Ye Hua took a deep breath, "Mr. Li, a few years ago, the prices of shops in Kaifeng plummeted. I went to the countryside to buy agricultural products, and you followed me. Thank you for half a month!" Ye Hua sighed, "You and I have a deep understanding of how difficult it is to deal with small farmers!"

Li Gu nodded, "It can be said that's not! The people had just divided the fields and urgently needed some money to improve their lives. As long as the price was fair, they were willing to take out the food. But now, many wealthy people have food in their homes, and they are unwilling to sell it! Even if the price is increased by 10%, they are still unwilling. The troublemakers have always been insatiable! I really dare not think about it. If there were such troublemakers in the world, how should they be the Three Divisions? Who else can have the ability to manage their finances for the country!"

Li Gu sighed: "I presided over the Qingzhang in the capital. Perhaps even the marquis, I feel that I have let go of the water and condoned her. I am very guilty! But I want to say, you all misunderstood, I am really wronged!"

When Mr. Li said this, his nose turned red.

"Mr. Marquis, many wealthy landlords, their families run business, including dyeing workshops, looms, blacksmith shops, raw pharmacies, grocery shops, as well as carriage shops, shops, warehouses, grain shops, etc. I can share their fields, but can I divide all these businesses? You ask me to hand over a blacksmith shop to dozens of ordinary people, your stove and my iron pot, will it work?"

"If I do this, believe it or not, the industry and commerce of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be destroyed immediately. In recent years, how much effort has the Marquis put into development of industry and commerce? Will it be destroyed? I have no choice but to let go and compromise with some big players, and it is also difficult for me!"

Ye Hua listened to Li Gu's complaints and suddenly said quietly: "Grandpa Li, so you indulge the gentry and collude with Qingzhang officials to massacre a village?"

"The conscience of heaven and earth!"

Li Gu suddenly stood up and pointed to the top of his head and swore: "Marty, if I have any involvement in this matter, I would rather cut this head off for you!"

"What do I want Mr. Li's head for?"

"Marty, no matter what you do, it is inevitable that you will be a bad sheep. I really don't know that this is not enough to settle my head... Han Xizai wants to dye his official robe red with my head, and use his evil intentions. Martyr, you must say justice!" Mr. Li was about to cry.

Ye Hua pondered and thought, what Li Gu said was indeed reasonable. Equalizing the fields and developing industry and commerce are the two paths that the Great Zhou Dynasty must take. It should not be neglected. Just one thing is that it is absolutely impossible to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and it cannot be maintained at all.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang even developed the most abnormal household registration system in order to maintain a stable small peasant economy. There were private households, military households, and craftsmen, and they were not allowed to change for generations... But what was the result? When Zhu Laosi became emperor, he had to go to the West to develop trade and fill the financial gap. Later, civil servants and gentry simply abolished the official trade and took it aside. For this reason, he burned all the charts.

Ye Hua could understand Li Gu's approach very well. Of course, Ye Hua would not believe it if this old man had no selfish intentions. However, he also said at the beginning that as long as Li Gu could truly express his gratitude, even if something happened, Ye Hua would pull him. Unexpectedly, this statement would come true so soon.

"Mr. Li..."

Ye Hua was about to say something, when Hanlin scholar Li Si walked in from outside, and while walking, he said, "Junior brother, this Huagai Palace is really good. Your Majesty specially built it for you! If Han Xizai is also mediocre, he actually asked the Censor Li Ji to investigate the case of the village destruction. Is it necessary to let the water go?"

He yelled and turned the screen, and suddenly saw Li Gu, very embarrassed, "Mr. Li, it's the son who went to check it out, it should be fine!"
