"The people now don't have enough food and clothing, so how can we talk about stability? So if we want to change this situation, we must first solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation for them. Only when they have enough food and shelter, they will not riot.
Only then will the country be stable." Yun Ruoyue said.
Chu Xuanchen nodded and said, "Yue'er, so many refugees have come again today. We need to quickly build more houses to accommodate them. In addition, if we can allow them to exchange labor for food, for example, let them
If they farm like other people for a long time, will they really be able to settle down?"
When Yun Ruoyue heard this, she immediately nodded, "Okay, we can distribute the land to the people. Anyway, these seven counties are your fiefdom, and all the land is at your disposal."
"Yes, not only that, we can also mobilize the people to continue to reclaim wasteland and reclaim more land. In this way, the land will be enough!" Chu Xuanchen said.
Yun Ruoyue nodded, "Okay. Also, Xuanchen, there are too many gangsters in the world, and they are forced to do this. I think that instead of spending a lot of effort to suppress the bandits, we should implement benevolent policies towards them and bring them down."
Recruit them and give them jobs so that they can exchange their labor for payment. After they work for a period of time, if they perform well, we can allocate land to them and let them plant their own crops, so that society will be stable."
"Yes, I have the same idea." Chu Xuanchen nodded, "You can't deal with these people forcefully. Forced force will only make both sides bloody, and when they are forced to panic, they may go to extremes again.
Harm the people. Only by allowing them to have enough food and clothing can the world truly be at peace."
"Well, yes, if a society is prosperous and stable, and everyone has food to eat, clothes to wear, and a house to live in, how can there be so many bandits?" Yun Ruoyue said.
"Okay, then I will go and discuss the land allocation with County Magistrate Fang." Chu Xuanchen said.
"Well, you go ahead!"

Ever since Chu Xuanchen went to South Vietnam, no one in Shengjing City dared to restrain Nalan Jun.
Without the constraints of Chu Xuanchen, Nalan Jun continued to invade all walks of life in the Chu Kingdom in the name of a wise king.
Moreover, his methods were more direct and more severe than before.
For example, after he took control of rice, flour, oil, salt and other livelihood industries, he immediately implemented a monopoly and raised the price of goods.
As soon as prices soared, the people became very angry and complained.
Not only that, Nalan Jun also annexed a large amount of land in Chu State. He colluded with officials, united with local tyrants and evil gentry, and robbed and occupied a lot of farmland, just to benefit himself.
Moreover, his hands gradually reached out to the army.
Nowadays, there are many people from him in the political, military and business circles of Chu State. His status is getting higher and higher, and he seems to have an unshakable trend.
However, these things were all done by Nalan Jun in private behind King Xian's back, and King Xian had no knowledge of them at all.
On this day, after King Xian went to court, he took a carriage all the way back to the Prince's Mansion.
As a result, the carriage drove onto the street, and suddenly a group of ragged people surrounded the carriage.
As soon as everyone gathered around, they all shouted: "Fellow folks, look, this is the carriage of His Royal Highness the Prince. The Prince must be inside. Quick, we must ask him for an explanation."
"Yes, we must seek justice from him."
As everyone spoke, they rushed forward and surrounded the carriage.
Mo Yu, who was riding on the horse, saw this and said hurriedly: "How brave! What are you doing? How dare you rush into His Highness the Crown Prince? Someone, please drive them away quickly."
As soon as Mo Yu finished speaking, the guards stepped forward to push the common people away.
Of course the people refused to let them go, so the guards had no choice but to push them aside. The scene suddenly became chaotic.
At this time, some people were already shouting loudly, "Why are you pushing us? We must seek justice from His Highness the Crown Prince today."
"His Royal Highness, you are so heartless! You colluded with your father-in-law to seize our farmland, and you didn't even see us. You have no conscience, you are not worthy of being the prince at all!"
"That is, you and Nalanjun are working together in a tangle of snakes and rats, oppressing the people. Are you still human?"
Hearing the curses of the people, the wise king in the carriage suddenly froze.
He immediately opened the curtain and saw many people gathered around his carriage, staring at him angrily.
"What's going on? Mo Yu!" King Xian immediately said coldly.
Mo Yu hurriedly dismounted, walked quickly to the carriage curtain, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, these people don't know what's going on. They are scolding you one after another, as if this matter has something to do with Lord Nalan."
After saying that, he said: "Your Highness, please calm down. I will send someone to drive them away immediately."
"No need! I want to figure this out today!" After the wise king finished speaking, he looked at everyone sharply and said seriously, "Everyone, may I ask why you are so angry? What happened?"
"What exactly happened? Don't you, His Highness the Crown Prince, not know? You and Nalan Jun are in a nest of snakes and rats, and you still dare to pretend?" A middle-aged man said angrily.
The wise king hurriedly said: "Brother, I really don't know anything about it. Please come and explain it to me one by one."
"Do you think we will believe your lies? Let me ask you, you are already the crown prince below one person and above ten thousand people. You have endless glory and wealth, why do you still ask Nalan Jun to occupy our farmland?
"
"Yes, Nalanjun occupied the land of many people in our village in your name. Not only that, he also monopolized the prices. Now the prices have soared. The same money can only buy one-tenth of the rice before. How dare you say that?
Does this matter have nothing to do with you?"
"That's right, we people have suffered enough! But you have raised the price of rice, oil, and even salt several times more than before. Do you still have a conscience?"
"Just because you are raising prices indiscriminately, now we can't even afford porridge! Your Highness, Nalan Jun is your father-in-law. Everything he does is in your name and for you. How dare you say that you
Not aware?"
"I tell you, we have been waiting for you for a long time, and today we are finally waiting for you. You give us back our land, and you lower the prices!"
As the people spoke, they stared at the wise king excitedly, wishing to cut him into pieces.
When the wise king heard these words, his heart suddenly dropped to the bottom of his heart.
Unexpectedly, Nalan Jun would use his name to seize other people's land and raise prices wantonly.
He immediately looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, I really have no knowledge of this matter. I will immediately send someone to investigate this matter. If this matter is true, I will definitely stabilize prices as soon as possible and put your
The land is returned to you!"
"Who knows whether what you said is true or false?"
"It's just empty talk. Then Nalan Jun is your father-in-law, so we don't believe you will help us."
