The situation was a bit confusing, but after Zhang Yi saw it clearly, he made sense.
From now on, the affairs of the Kingdom of China are his business.
Zhang Yi thought seriously.
If the Kingdom of China wants to embark on the road of prosperity and power, the first thing it must solve is the land issue. According to his understanding, the Kingdom has 2 million acres of arable land, but the top ten families account for 70% of it. Together with many small families, it forms a monopoly.
He had discussed this issue with Xiao Han a long time ago,
Families, large and small, wanted to maintain a luxurious life and refused to hand over more harvests to the kingdom, resulting in an empty national treasury that could not support a large army, let alone economic and cultural development.
At present, the reason why King Liu Kai can mobilize a large army is because his prestige is high enough and all the major families are willing to support him. However, this system based on personal prestige is extremely fragile.
To put it bluntly, if someone else becomes the king and his prestige is not high enough, old China will inevitably fall apart and become a torn apart situation.
Linked to the feudal land system is a huge bureaucracy. This bureaucracy is also extremely backward, with officials protecting each other and corruption. Power is still concentrated in the hands of a few people, such as Wu Rui and Liu Guang, who are less powerful than ten thousand people.
.
The positions of these two men are deeply entrenched and difficult to shake.
King Liu Kai realized the problem, so he hoped that Zhang Yi could come up with a solid plan and promised to work with him to eliminate obstacles.
Zhang Yi must find a breakthrough.
He wants to completely solve the land problem, rectify the bureaucracy, crack down on crime, develop industry and commerce, popularize culture and education, etc., so that the country will take on a new look.
Of course, he must proceed step by step to avoid causing too much social unrest.
…
After thinking about it all night, Zhang Yi fell asleep at dawn.
"Brother Zhang!"
He heard someone shouting outside, it was Ye Fei, ha, Chang'an Xiaoxia is here, someone sent by Princess Xiaoliu.
When I looked at the alarm clock, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Zhang Yi hurriedly got up and dressed, and ran to the yard. He saw the guard questioning Ye Fei and preventing him from entering.
"Brother Ye Fei, I'm so happy that you came to see me. Come in quickly!" Zhang Yi said happily, and told the guards that Ye Fei can come in and out freely from now on. He is his brother.
Ye Fei chuckled and walked into the yard with the sweaty horse in hand.
"Brother Zhang, let me see your beloved horse!" Ye Fei said with a smile.
Zhang Yi took him to the backyard and came to Jueying. Ye Fei was full of praise and stepped forward to caress him. This black war horse has been tested on the battlefield for a long time. It is handsome, mighty and humane. It can be seen that Jueying
He is not repulsive towards Ye Fei, but actually likes him very much.
"I thought about it all night last night. Brother Zhang's BMW is called Jueying. So what should I call my BMW?" Ye Fei asked.
Zhang Yi caressed the sweaty BMW. It was silver-gold in body and emitted two kinds of light, silver and gold, under the sunlight. It was extremely noble.
"How about calling it Fei Huang?" A name flashed in Zhang Yi's mind.
"Feihuang?" Ye Fei tilted his head and smiled, "It's wonderful, Jueying, Feihuang, both are very elegant, haha, that's the name!"
After joking for a while, Ye Fei asked to visit, and Zhang Yi took him around to satisfy his curiosity. When he came to the study, Ye Fei saw a stack of manuscripts on the desk, which was the reform plan written by Zhang Yi last night.
He didn't want to leak the secret, so he stepped forward to collect it and put it in a drawer.
"Brother Zhang's handwriting is very beautiful. He is really versatile in both civil and military affairs," Ye Fei said with a smile, "It's a pity that I am illiterate. Is Brother Zhang writing a love letter to the girl?"
"Love letter?" Zhang Yi raised his head and laughed, "Brother, what you say is so funny. I have never been in love in my life, how can I write a love letter!"
"I don't believe that a wealthy businessman like Brother Zhang doesn't have many wives and concubines." Ye Fei shook his head.
Good guy, it's clear that he was sent by Princess Xiaoliu to spy on Zhang Yi. This is good. It shows that Princess Xiaoliu is interested in him, and Zhang Yi is full of joy.
I quickly explained that I am busy with my career and have not met the right person, so I am still single.
Ye Fei smiled and nodded, saying that the weather was nice today, so why not go for an outing on horseback in the countryside together? He also needed to have more contact with Fei Huang and build a relationship.
Zhang Yi readily agreed.
…
May is a beautiful season. Zhang Yi and Ye Fei rode out of the city and had a great ride on the outskirts of Chang'an.
BMW is a BMW, and the speed of Feihuang is really fast. Jueying is not willing to be outdone and chases after him closely. The laughter and cheers of the two people echo in the wilderness. Zhang Yi has never been so relaxed and happy. He has experienced the joy of life.
good.
It's a pity that Ye Fei is not Xiao Liu. If that were the case, Zhang Yi's life would be perfect.
After running to a hill with lush vegetation, the two dismounted from their horses to rest. Zhang Yi took the water hyacinth from the saddle and asked Ye Fei to drink water.
"This gourd has a history of hundreds of years." Ye Fei drank some water, played with the water hyacinth in his hand, and said with a smile.
"That's right, it's a family heirloom." Zhang Yi said. He has always carried this gourd with him. Apart from the snake skin, this gourd is all that the snake catcher's family has left to him.
"Oh?" Ye Fei sat down on the grass, stared at Zhang Yi and said, "Brother Zhang, I really want to hear your story."
"My story, haha, I'm only in my 20s, so what's the story?"
"Brother Zhang, you are not being honest." Ye Fei grabbed a stone at his feet and threw it far away, saying, "I know who you are."
"Who am I?" Zhang Yi asked knowingly. He didn't want to expose Ye Fei's identity, which would embarrass Princess Xiaoliu.
"You are Zhang Yi!" Ye Fei laughed.
"Ah, how did you see it?" Zhang Yi pretended to be surprised.
"Who doesn't know that Zhang Yi, the boss of Mopan City, came to Chang'an. You speak with a foreign accent, your martial arts are so good, and you have a good war horse. If you are not Zhang Yi, I will be crawling on the ground." Ye Fei was surprised to see Zhang Yi.
, said happily.
"Good vision!" Zhang Yi nodded and admitted, "I am Zhang Yi. I am very happy to meet brother Ye Fei in Chang'an. They are heroes and righteous without fear of rape. I think we will become good brothers for life!"
"Okay!" Ye Fei clapped his hands and said with a smile, "From now on, I will be Brother Zhang's brother. Should the Five Tigers of Mopan City be changed to the Six Tigers of Mopan City?"
Zhang Yi laughed loudly and nodded repeatedly. This brother spoke very confidently, which was his personality. Zhang Yi did not think he was arrogant, but found it interesting.
"Then, Brother Zhang, can you tell me your story, starting from the beginning, the more detailed the better." Ye Fei said happily.
Telling him his own experience is actually telling him to Princess Xiaoliu, Zhang Yi knows.
So he sat down next to Ye Fei and started talking about the snake catcher, who left the barren mountain carrying a roll of snake skin and went to join his uncle in Mopan City...
Ye Fei listened carefully to every word he said, sometimes nervously, sometimes sighing, sometimes clenching his fists to show great anger.
