Xiao Chunzi is the eyes of Emperor Xia and the people in the imperial study.
As long as what he sees is what the people in the imperial study see, his subjective speculations will also make the people in the imperial study have reverie!
Of course, there are smart people in front of him, and he will also seek verification later and have his own opinions.
After a while.
Xiao Chunzi sorted out his thoughts and said: "First of all, there are many strong single men in the Tianmen Mountain Camp. They have strength, but they cannot pass the review of the Tianmen Mountain Camp and do not have permission to enter the Huangzhou. Then, these people He was kicked out of Tianmen Mountain Camp and not allowed to enter Huangzhou!"
"oh?"
Emperor Xia, the prince, Sima Jian, and Eunuch Wei all frowned slightly, with puzzled looks on their faces.
Xiaochunzi continued: "On the contrary, many old, weak, sick and disabled people were integrated into the Huangzhou and became the new people of the Huangzhou!"
"Logically speaking, shouldn't the most welcome people in Huangzhou be those who are strong and powerful?"
"Although Xiaochunzi is stupid, he also knows that all the fiefdoms in the empire like such people. They can work in peacetime and become powerful soldiers in war!" "So, Xiaochunzi thinks this is quite strange!"
After speaking, Xiao Chunzi consciously stopped talking and let the big guys in front of him express their opinions.
Emperor Xia thought for a moment, then relaxed his frown, and looked at Xia Bao thoughtfully: "Prince, what do you think about Huangzhou expelling some able-bodied people from entering the country?"
"Why would you, the Ninth Prince Brother, rather accept the old, weak, sick and disabled than the able-bodied?"
The new prince Xia Bao was stunned!
He is not a roundworm in the belly of Death Laojiu. How could he know what Death Laojiu was thinking about something so contrary to common sense?
He had been the king of Yangzhou for many years, and what he hoped most was that all the people in the territory would be strong and have a strong labor force.
Therefore, Xia Tian's approach was completely incomprehensible to him!
At this moment, he really wanted to say angrily: "He is sick!"
But, the person in front of me is the Emperor of Daxia!
Someone who can get him out of the East Palace!
He must answer!
Don’t give random answers yet!
Xia Bao thought hard for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Father, I thought it was because of the shortage of food in the barren state, and the strong people must eat a lot on weekdays, and the barren state couldn't feed them, so, Keep them out of the deserted state!"
When Emperor Xia heard this, his already relaxed brows furrowed slightly: "Is that it?"
Xia Bao's heart tightened, and he wanted to say something more, but found that he couldn't explain anything at all, so he could only say with a stiff face: "Yes!"
A hint of disappointment flashed in Emperor Xia's eyes, and he turned to Sima Jian: "Prime Minister Zuo, you are the helmsman of Daxia's national affairs. Can you tell me why Xiaojiu rejects the lords from all sides as their strong labor force? Outside the door?"
Sima Jian had already thought about it: "Your Majesty, the King of Huangzhou did not exclude all able-bodied people from Huangzhou. Therefore, I believe that Huangzhou screened these able-bodied people!"
"filter?"
Xia Bao's eyes were full of doubts: "Prime Minister Zuo, what's the point of selecting such a good workforce?"
Emperor Xia was noncommittal: "Keep talking!"
"yes!"
"I believe that these able-bodied people who were driven out of the Tianmen Mountain camp in Huangzhou have evil intentions!"
"What?"
The prince was surprised by this answer: "Prime Minister Zuo, why do you say that?"
The disappointment in Emperor Xia's eyes became even brighter: "Prime Minister Zuo, please give the prince a good explanation!"
"As much as you have, say as much as you want!"
"yes!"
Sima Jian spoke eloquently: "Your Majesty, you once commented that the Ninth Prince has the benevolence of ancient saints towards his own people, but he hates evil as much as hatred and hates enemies as much as hatred!"
"These people can still live strong in the famine. According to my guess, they may not be good people, and their conduct may not be accepted by the Ninth Prince!"
"So, all the able-bodied people who meet the requirements of Huangzhou have entered Huangzhou!"
"Those who do not meet the requirements of Huangzhou's acceptance will be expelled from the Tianmen Mountain Camp and will not be allowed to enter Huangzhou!"
Xia Bao thinks Sima Jian is right!
However, he would never praise: "Is there any more?"
Old God Sima Jian said: "I think there is another possibility. Since these able-bodied people can still maintain their physical strength in the hard days, it means that it is wise to make a living outside, even if they are left outside. , and you won’t starve to death immediately!”
"So, Huangzhou first uses the only food available to save the old, weak, sick and disabled who are about to starve to death!"
"Therefore, these able-bodied people should not enter the wilderness for the time being!"
"The prince's answer just now was a little off!"
What's his answer?
The prince is going crazy!
Doesn't this call him stupid?
Therefore, Xia Bao said dissatisfiedly: "Prime Minister Zuo, although people are divided into good and bad, there are also good and evil. As the king of Huangzhou and the lord of Huangzhou, shouldn't he treat them equally?"
At this time.
Emperor Xia finally couldn't help but said: "Ignorance!"
The prince was shocked!
His neck shrunk and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Yes, I am ignorant!"
Emperor Xia looked at Xia Bao and said: "If there is no famine now, if there are not millions of untouchables and refugees in Daxia now migrating to the barren states, according to the character and wisdom of your ninth brother, even if all the unkind people in the world flock in He is not afraid of the barren state!"
"But, what time is it now?"
"Now there is a great famine in the world. The untouchables and refugees have no food to eat and no homes. They have fled to the desolate state. Every day when your ninth brother opens his eyes, there are millions of mouths waiting for him to feed them. These people Just like a bunch of hay, any spark can ignite them, causing riots to break out in the deserted state, with unpredictable consequences!"
"Therefore, able-bodied people with bad conduct entering Huangzhou will not only not help Huangzhou, but may shake people's hearts and create endless crises for Huangzhou!"
"What the barren state needs most now is stability of people's hearts in order to survive this food crisis!"
"So, your brother is trying his best to reduce the possibility of crisis!"
"That's why he screens the character of these people!"
"As for the old, weak, sick and disabled, even if their character is not good, they will starve to death if left outside, so he needs to help them first!"
Having said this, Emperor Xia put his hands behind his back and looked at the void outside the imperial study room, with a smile on his face: "He is indeed my Qilin'er, he did a great job!"
"I'm so happy!"
The prince is more calculating and his hatred towards Xia Tian is even stronger!
Then.
Emperor Xia stared at the prince and asked, "Do you understand now?"
"My son, I understand!"
The prince suppressed the jealousy in his heart: "My son will learn from the Nine Princes!"
Emperor Xia said noncommittally: "You have been managing the fiefdom in Yangzhou for many years and have rich experience. You can communicate more with your nine brothers and make progress together!"
"yes!"
Even though he was a little disappointed with Xia Bao's answer just now, Emperor Xia still gave Xia Bao enough face.
However, Xia Bao's jealousy towards Xia Tian has not weakened.
Emperor Xia added: "The Prime Minister Zuo's guess coincides with mine. He is indeed my right-hand man!"
Sima Jian quickly humbled himself!
Emperor Xia asked again: "Xiao Chunzi, is there anything strange happening in Huangzhou?"
"go on!"
"yes!"
Xiao Chunzi then continued: "Your Majesty, after Xiao Chunzi entered Tianmen Mountain, he found a huge black pit on the roadside. Huangzhou worked in the black pit and dug out some magical black stones that could be ignited and burned. The kind of blazing fire!
"What?"
Emperor Xia frowned again: "A stone that can burn?"
