Su Jinghong, Duke of Zhao and Qin, was preparing to leave the cabinet.
Through this conversation, he already had a rough idea of the attitude of Prime Minister Cheng Deyou.
The cabinet is also troubled by the economic crisis, and his status is not affected.
The Duke of Qin, Su Jinghong, was in charge of Zhao's foreign trade. Due to the chain reaction caused by the empire's economic crisis, he made many decisions that are now considered wrong.
Even though many vassal states have been warned about the economic crisis of the empire, none of them have.
It can rely on its own capabilities to resolve the spreading economic crisis.
Su Jinghong believed that Cheng Deyou, the very talented Prime Minister, did not have a good way to deal with the economic crisis.
The empire has introduced numerous policies to improve the economic crisis, and before the New Year, it has introduced major new policies.
Because the conditions of each country are extremely different, the relevant policies of the empire cannot be directly applied to the country.
They must study a certain policy of the empire. After Zhao adopts it, will it have any effect? Will it have any impact on the country?
Su Jinghong looked relaxed and walked out of the cabinet after saying goodbye.
He positions himself as a middle-of-the-road person.
Su Jinghong knew that his father only wanted a conservative king.
After he came to power, his father was very satisfied if he could defend the Kingdom of Zhao.
As long as Su Jinghong doesn't act stupidly, he has a great chance of rising to power.
My father has already witnessed the civil strife that broke out in the Xiang Kingdom because of the suspicion of the young master.
As a result, Xiang State, which was originally about the same strength as Zhao State, may now be annexed by Zhao State at any time.
Zhao State only needs to send a part of its troops to guard the border, while Xiang State needs to mobilize the entire country's troops to respond.
His uncle, the emperor, did something even more extraordinary regarding the issue of the crown prince.
The emperor's uncle first asked the princes to compete for the position of crown prince.
Once he selected the candidate for the crown prince, he immediately sent the princes who threatened the crown prince to the border areas and established vassal states to defend the empire.
Once the prince does not agree with his wishes or something unexpected happens.
The emperor's uncle can immediately select the best among the assigned princes and choose a more capable prince to take the throne.
Every time Su Jinghong thought about this matter, he was glad that his father was not someone who could put aside family ties just for the country and the country.
My father's ambitions are not that big, otherwise he would not have always been condescending to the emperor's uncle.
He felt shuddering when he thought about what happened to the princes of his own age in the empire.
The emperor's uncle trains the prince in this way, and it is true that he can train an outstanding emperor, but the price paid is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
As soon as Su Jinghong walked out of the gate, he saw the little eunuch wearing colorful feathers walking towards the cabinet.
When Xiao Yuzi's father-in-law saw Su Jinghong, he immediately took a step forward and said respectfully: "Qin Guo Gong, King Zhao has summoned the ministers for important matters. I met Qin Guo Gong here, and I just happened to inform Qin Guo Gong of this news."
Su Jinghong waved his hand and signaled to the commander of the following guards to give the young eunuch a reward.
When his father summons him, it must be to discuss national affairs. In such an important occasion, he must participate deeply to make his father satisfied with his actions.
My father likes mediocre people and never likes incompetent fools.
Su Jinghong was outside the palace. He immediately took a car and went to Zhao Palace to discuss matters.
When he came to the main hall, he saw civil and military officials arriving one after another, with solemn looks on their faces.
Su Jinghong was very confused when he saw this. What major event happened in Zhao State?
He didn't get any news at all. This situation is very wrong.
Su Jinghong was a little anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
He found that many of his brothers had expressions of surprise and surprise on their faces, and they also had no idea what was happening.
He and these brothers were on the same level, so things didn't develop to the worst.
King Su Xiong of Zhao saw that all the important ministers of Zhao State had arrived.
An angry look flashed across his face, and he ordered: "Director Jiang, please tell me what exactly happened?"
Jiang Manyu, the governor of Zhao State, stood up and explained: "There are sporadic rebellions in Xinzhou in the south, and the governor's office is deploying troops to suppress them.
According to the news coming back from the front line, the reason for the rebellion was that the local people could not afford to eat because of the skyrocketing food prices."
After Grand Governor Jiang Manyu explained the reason, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The cause of the rebellion in Xinzhou in the South was not caused by the military, but by civilian issues.
Grand Governor Jiang Manyu just mentioned the Xinzhou rebellion in the south, and many people in the palace were very surprised.
Xinzhou in the south was captured by the Zhao State not long ago. The Zhao army could be said to be overwhelming and did not encounter much resistance at all during the attack.
They had not resisted before, but now that Zhao had an absolute advantage, they chose to rebel. No one could understand the reason.
When they later heard the specific reasons for the rebellion, they were very surprised.
Xinzhou in the south has a lot of land, so there should be no shortage of food there.
The locals rebelled due to lack of food. Have there been any natural disasters recently? If this happens, it must be a man-made disaster.
Everyone's eyes are on the Prime Minister Cheng Deyou. The identity of the Prime Minister is very precious, but if there is a problem, the Prime Minister needs to come forward to solve it.
Prime Minister Cheng Deyou immediately stood up. He held several telegrams and handed them to the young eunuch next to him, asking him to pass them on to King Zhao Su Xiong.
He lamented that now there is a convenient communication tool like the telegraph, which allows him to figure out what happened in a short time.
Prime Minister Cheng Deyou saw that the telegram had been delivered to King Zhao Su Xiong.
He then explained: "This situation in the southern Xinzhou is indeed a problem caused by local officials' insufficient prediction of the economic crisis and laziness in administration.
I bear an unshirkable responsibility, and I ask the king to punish me.
But the most important thing now is to prepare food supplies and go to Xinzhou in the south to quell the rebellion.
Our country is a grain exporting country. During this period, due to the economic crisis, shipping has been sluggish and grain transportation has also been affected.
There is a large amount of food in the granary, and it is not difficult at all to solve the rebellion caused by food shortage.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, I would like to remind the king that the rebellion in the southern Xinzhou is just a precursor to problems in the Zhao Kingdom.
If Zhao State did not solve the economic crisis, a large number of farmers and workers who planted cash crops would lose their jobs.
When they don't have enough to eat and are about to starve to death, they will never prepare to wait for death, but will definitely fight."
King Su Xiong of Zhao followed Emperor Su He in rebellion. The most fundamental reason was that they had not enough to eat at that time and they were about to starve to death as they were skinny.
There were only two choices at that time: wait for death or fight hard.
They chose to fight hard and let the Ming Dynasty and the land-owning gentry die directly.
King Zhao Su Xiong had rich successful experience, so he could clearly understand that the people really did not have enough to eat. How powerful was the energy they unleashed?
King Su Xiong of Zhao asked in surprise: "We in Zhao have so much food, how come there is a shortage of food in Xinzhou in the south?
Now that Zhao State has deteriorated to this extent, is the economic crisis really that serious?"
Prime Minister Cheng Deyou was not surprised at all when he heard Zhao Wang Su Xiong say this.
Not only King Zhao Su Xiong, but also many ministers of Zhao State have no understanding of the harm of the economic crisis.
Prime Minister Cheng Deyou could only explain patiently: "Your Majesty, the information I have collected from various channels can basically restore the situation at that time.
In order to make more money in the southern Xinzhou, their land mainly grows cash crops, and the grain is purchased from Zhao or Xiang.
The southern Xinzhou was previously composed of city-states. These small city-states were very weak. They had neither the need nor the ability to achieve food independence.
The locals have developed the habit of growing cash crops, even if Zhao State annexes these areas.
Because cash crops are grown locally, an industrial chain has been formed.
These cash crops can also promote the development of many industrial industries in our Zhao country. The cabinet did not correct the agricultural industrial structure of the southern Xinzhou at that time.
Now due to the economic crisis, related industrial chains have gone bankrupt on a large scale.
Bankrupt farmers and workers had no money to buy grain, local grain merchants hoarded it, and grain prices skyrocketed.
Various reasons led to local rebellions.
The local government should bear the main responsibility. If there is one magistrate and governor of the new southern state who can solve the corresponding problems, the situation will not develop to this situation.
As the economic crisis spreads, problems will arise in many places in Zhao State.
Unless we in Zhao State learn from the empire's food relief system and provide certain protection to the people at the bottom, otherwise the economy will deteriorate somewhere and a large number of people will be unemployed.
Wherever there is a possibility of judgment.”
Prime Minister Cheng Deyou said all the issues he wanted to say.
He hoped that Zhao Wang Su Xiong could make the right choice.
King Zhao Su Xiong sighed and said: "My previous understanding of the economic crisis was too simple, and I failed to understand the powerful harm that the economic crisis could cause to the country.
The empire’s food relief is a policy that we in Zhao State should learn from.
Relief food does not cost much, and the money is paid directly by the royal family."
Prime Minister Cheng Deyou immediately led the civil servants to praise the king's sage.
The empire's food relief policy is very simple to implement.
There is no need for the empire to send officials to conduct detailed investigations and distribute relief grains.
The Zhao State's government capacity is insufficient, so it is entirely possible to directly distribute relief grains to grassroots towns and villages, and let village officials distribute the relief grains.
In this way, the court does not need additional expenditures, only the cost of relief grain and transportation costs.
The previous disagreement between Zhao Guo and Zhao Guo was who should bear the cost.
The officials' opinion is that the royal family should fund it, and the royal family's opinion is that the treasury should fund it.
King Zhao Su Xiong saw the rebellion in Xinzhou in the south and obviously understood the key to the problem.
Relief food doesn't cost much, once there is a rebellion.
The cost of sending troops to quell the rebellion and post-war reconstruction would cost hundreds or even tens of thousands of times the amount of food relief.
Unlike the Empire, Zhao only needs to issue policies to solve most of its problems.
The main reason is that Zhao State is relatively poor, especially after the economic crisis, Zhao State's treasury has become empty.
Most of the empire's policies are to exchange money for time.
Zhao State was short of money but not short of time, and many policies could not be implemented.
King Zhao Su Xiong looked at the ministers and said: "Things have priorities. What Zhao should do is to curb the rebellion.
The rebellion in the southern Xinzhou has not developed and grown. As long as the local food shortage problem is solved, the matter can be easily solved.
But let us not forget the root cause, which is the economic crisis.
What do you think about the current economic crisis in Zhao State?"
Qin Guogong Su Jinghong, because at this moment, it should be his opportunity to stand up and show off.
It can be seen from the situation just now that his father still treats him as a child and has not allowed him to enter the core decision-making level of Zhao State.
He did not know about the rebellion in Xinzhou in the south immediately.
If the father really valued him, he would have asked the young eunuch to remind him of the relevant matters, instead of coming to the hall in a daze, not knowing what was going on?
Su Jinghong decided to show off his edge and let his father know that he had grown up, was no longer a child, and had his own opinions on things.
He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the economic crisis has had a certain impact on the State of Zhao.
If something has a disadvantage, there must also be an advantage.
The economic crisis is not unique to our country. It is an inevitable phenomenon in the industrialization era and treats all countries equally.
Regardless of whether it is a huge empire or the peaceful Qi State, all will be affected by the economic crisis.
Er Chen believes that whether countries around the world recognize it or not, the economic crisis has shuffled the situation in each country.
A country that can successfully survive the economic crisis can get out of the quagmire of the economic crisis and develop itself rapidly.
Countries that cannot get out of the economic crisis are stuck in the quagmire of the economic crisis, and the country has begun to stagnate.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before the economic crisis, there was a certain gap in strength between countries, but because the industrial system relied heavily on empires.
The strength of the military is closely related to the industrial system, and there is simply no gap between countries.
After the economic crisis, the country that can survive the economic crisis will be a regional power.
Whether it is the country's ability to solve problems, its transition away from a simple industrial system that relied heavily on the empire, or its people's self-confidence, it is completely different from the previous situation.
On the contrary, countries that fail to survive the economic crisis are undoubtedly weak countries.
These weak countries do not have the ability to control their own country's destiny. They are just a dish on the table of the powerful countries.
Their status is similar to the previous city-states.
Whether Qiang Guo eats this dish depends entirely on Qiang Guo's mood.
This economic crisis will be the most important destiny choice for each country, and its effect is no less effective than choosing the place where a country is founded.
I think Zhao Guo should make preparations early and must not miss this rare opportunity."
After Zhao Wang Su Xiong heard what his eldest son Su Jinghong said, he laughed heartily.
He is a rough man, but he can also tell the difference between what is rhetoric and what is really useful.
The eldest son Su Jinghong had this insight. King Zhao Su Xiong immediately felt that he had someone to succeed him, and he did not have to worry about the huge family property he had built being entrusted to someone else.
King Zhao Su Xiong said happily: "What the Duke of Qin said made me enlightened.
Duke Guo of Qin will take the lead and cooperate with the cabinet to study the empire's policies and come up with policies to tide over the crisis as soon as possible based on Zhao's situation."
After Qin Guogong Su Jinghong listened to his father's instructions, he clenched his fists excitedly. This time he won the bet.
