"What?"

"What do you mean?"

"If the main reason for the change of dynasties is not land annexation, then what is it?"

Song Huizong and everyone looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

"It is the farmers and the people who are forced to survive!

If the people work hard but still cannot eat and wear, they will question the court and officials, and thus develop resentment!

Once a rebel like Fang La leads the incitement, the people will fight to survive, kill officials and rebel, vent their resentment and dissatisfaction in their hearts, and attempt to overthrow the court."

Jiang Chen's answer was so sharp that he did not forget to continue to blacken Zhu Jie.

Well--

Will you die if you don’t mention Zhu Xie?

How big avenge is it?

Wang Fu, Cai You and others couldn't help but rolled their eyes at Jiang Chen.

Cai Jing was even more angry and felt ache, and said to Jiang Chen with a bad expression: "Your answer seems a bit sensational, right? Isn't it a causal relationship between people's inability to live and no land to cultivate? What's the difference?"

"Is there no difference in Cai Xiang's eyes?"

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "Cai Xiang, do those people who work in the city have land to grow? Do the cooks and vendors selling oil on the street have land to grow? Do the tens of thousands of sects in Yuqing Villa have land to grow?"

this……

Cai Jing was stunned and speechless when asked.

Song Huizong and the other ministers looked thoughtful. After a few seconds of silence, Wang Fu spoke out to rescue Cai Jing and said, "Jiang Chen, please make your words clear!"

"Did the officials not understand enough? The role of land is to produce enough food for the country, and it is by no means the foundation of the people!

No matter who is in the hands of the land, as long as the court can keep the people of the world full and well-dressed, they will have no reason to rebel, and the country and the country can continue to operate safely!"

After Jiang Chen said that, he took a leisurely sip of tea.

"It makes sense!"

Li Gang, Zhang Shuye and others nodded in approval.

Song Huizong, Crown Prince Zhao Huan, and Yun Prince Zhao Kai also had a bright look, and Jiang Chen opened a new door to thinking.

But Kong Duanyou sang the opposite tune and said, "Jiang Chen, what do you mean is to let the people of the world join the Li family and do business for the Royal Chamber of Commerce?"

Can the Royal Chamber of Commerce accommodate and feed so many people?

Besides, if all the people of the world join the Li family, who will let the land be cultivated? Could it be that we literati and wise men will do it themselves? It’s simply a whimsical idea and don’t know what’s wrong!”

After saying that, Kong Duanyou glanced at Jiang Chen with contempt.

"It's not that I'm whimsical, but that you're too ignorant!"

Jiang Chen curled his lips to Kong Duanyou.

"What? I am ignorant. I am the dignified King Yan Sheng Gong of the Kong family! How dare you say I am ignorant?

Haha, this is such a big joke!" Kong Duanyou laughed in anger.

Jiang Chen also smiled and said, "Of course, the Royal Chamber of Commerce cannot support the refugees in the world, but did Lord Kong forget it?

You and many wealthy families have signed contracts with the Royal Chamber of Commerce. Will you increase the treatment of the people under your rule as required and make them feel full and well-dressed? In this way, why should you worry that no one is available?"

Um?

Kong Duanyou was stunned, but then retorted: "In addition to the wealthy families, there are countless landlords and gentry in this world.

If the people under their rule see that we are treated well and make a big move and flee slavery, who will cultivate their fields?"

"Not bad! If this happens, will the world be in chaos?" Wang Fu immediately echoed Kong Duanyou.

"Hmph! You are still a minister of the Ministry of Revenue. How could you ask such a stupid question?" Jiang Chen shook his head in a funny way.

"Jiang Chen, how dare you insult this Shangshu?" Wang Fu's face turned pale and glared at Jiang Chen in anger.

"Did the official said it wrong?"

Jiang Chen glared back at Wang Fu and sneered: "If a smart landlord and gentry, in order to retain labor, he would naturally improve the treatment of the people under his rule!

When the people have money, they will buy houses in their lives, even in towns. At that time, will the products of the Royal Chamber of Commerce and the houses you are about to build have a larger market?

This move can not only promote currency circulation and economic prosperity, but also eliminate public grievances and stabilize the country!

If everyone in the world benefits this, who can't praise the kindness of the official family? Who will follow the thief to rebel?"

"It makes sense!"

"If things can develop as Lord Jiang expected, it will definitely be a grand occasion!"

Zheng Juzhong, He Zhizhong and others heard his eyes lit up and were full of anticipation.

Song Huizong became even more excited and couldn't help but imagine a beautiful painting of the prosperous era in his mind.

Wang Fu said sarcastically: "Jiang Chen, are you thinking too beautiful? What if the gentry and landlords are unwilling to increase the treatment of the people?"

"As long as the official issued an imperial edict: Anyone who has wasteland will remeasure the land and recover the abandoned and excess land at the market price! They will find ways to retain the labor force of farmers!

If the people get benefits, they will love you and the country more, and the world will be safe and peaceful!"

"Yes, this plan is very good!"

He Zhizhong, Zheng Juzhong and others agreed with each other, and Song Huizong nodded with approval.

But the rest of the people all twitched!

In order to evade taxes, their families all falsely claimed the land. The actual land was several times more than the tax-paying land, and they could not accept the terrifying punishment of re-measurement of land.

But they felt it was unnecessary to object to them, because the families behind them, even the gentry where the Cai family and Guo Haochu were located, signed a five-year contract with the Royal Chamber of Commerce.

According to the contract, the money to increase the treatment of the people under their rule was borne by the Royal Chamber of Commerce, so Jiang Chen's proposal was simply beneficial to them.

After figuring this out, most people put on an attitude of not being concerned about their own affairs.

In order to offend the irrelevant squire and landlords, the head of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, Jiang Chen, the boy who attracted wealth, was a fool who was simply unable to get along with money.

But Cai Jing, Kong Duanyou, Wang Fu, Cai You and others couldn't help but change their faces!

Cai Xie stared at Jiang Chen with disbelief and said, "No wonder you are so kind-hearted and willing to use the money from the Royal Chamber of Commerce to improve the treatment of our tenants. We have to force us to sign a five-year contract with you.

Is it actually to differentiate the wealthy families and the squire and landlords below, and to plan for today's affairs?"

"Is Mr. Cai questioning the officials?

Don’t you want to see the people live and work in peace, the Song Dynasty has a stable country, and the wealthy families have flourished and prosperous?"

Jiang Chen asked back with a funny look, glanced at Song Huizong's face, and said proudly: "To be honest, these are all unparalleled tricks arranged by the officials for the sake of the people of the world! The officials are just obedient to their orders!"
