Zhang Huan, who originally thought that he would be dealt with by His Majesty, saw the little fat man letting him go like this. His face immediately turned red with embarrassment. He didn't know what to say. He bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and inadequate." and occupying a high position!”
"Oh, you want to resign?"
"Do you want me to personally lead the Northern Army to conquer injustice in the future?!"
"I don't dare!" Zhang Huan bowed again.
The little fat man snorted coldly, but did not reply. He stood up, sat back in his seat, waved to Zhang Huan and Duan Jiao, asking them to go back for the time being, and then shouted: "Mr. Yang, don't you have anything?" Report?" The courtier's heart trembled, the business was about to begin!
"I have something to report!" Yang Ci walked up sadly and indignantly, bowed his hands and bowed: "Your Majesty! I didn't know about the treacherous plot that day. What the student said about the collusion between Dong Chong and I, It’s a slander! I hope your majesty will judge me and clear my name!”
"As a big farmer! Are you going to report this matter?!"
The little fat man was furious, pointed at him and cursed: "Henan, Hebei, and Jing are suffering from disasters, and there are still tens of thousands of people in the world who do not eat Lisu. You are asking me to clear your name?!" Yang Ci was stunned! , looking at the emperor with some confusion, the little fat man shook his head and suddenly asked: "Food is the most important thing for the people. I am really heartbroken by this harm to farmers and mulberry trees, even more heartbroken than my uncle's rebellion! What can you do? ?!"
The courtiers were puzzled. My relatives were plotting rebellion. There were countless people implicated among the courtiers. Why did the emperor still care about Nongsang?
Only some young party members looked at the emperor with admiration. All the people are important, so is the wise king!!
The courtiers began to discuss. Suddenly, Yang Ci said: "Since your Majesty came to the throne, the people have all praised him for his frivolous corvee and low taxes. However, disasters have been frequent. Since the first year of Jianning, many people have been affected by disasters, and the harvest has been reduced day by day. I thought, We should reduce military service and rest with the people..."
The little fat man nodded. The old lieutenant gasped and stood up tremblingly. The little fat man couldn't help but feel distressed. This was the first time he saw the old lieutenant look so weak. He said, "Sit down, lieutenant. There is no need." Get up!" The old lieutenant shook his head. Not wanting to be rude in front of the emperor, he stood up and said: "Today's people are not farming without care, but farming without land!"
"Most of the land in the world is occupied by wealthy families, so that the common people are all tenants, and there are very few people cultivating it...cough cough cough..." The old Taiwei coughed, and then paused for a moment before continuing: "Your Majesty, please The governors and officials in various places suppressed the wealthy families and distributed the fields to the people for cultivation..." Before the old lieutenant finished speaking, the expressions of the party members who came from aristocratic families changed a little.
When it comes to land, the ten wealthy families combined are not as ruthless as any of them.
The difference is that the wealthy families treat their tenants badly and often oppress them, but they have a good reputation and respect the villagers. However, if they want to cultivate the land evenly, they will definitely suffer the greatest damage, and there will be immediate consequences. Xun Jian stood up and said: "As I see it, we can send the landless farmers to reclaim the wasteland, and then put it under the jurisdiction of the court. No one else can infringe on their fields..."
When he said this, the little fat man suddenly remembered the farming recorded in the Book of Heaven!
In fact, farming has existed since ancient times.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, minister Chao Cuo once suggested "relocating the people to consolidate the borders".
During the reign of Emperor Shizong Xiaowu, Zhao Chongguo suggested that both farmland and border defense, garrison and farming should be taken into consideration. Pavilions were often set up from the west of Dunhuang to Yanze, and there were hundreds of field soldiers in Luntai and Quli. This method was intended to solve the problem. The idea of being self-reliant due to long distances and inconvenient transportation can also save the troops from wasting manpower on defense. This is an idea that kills two birds with one stone.
But the little fat man knew that in the future, Cao Cao adopted Zao Zhi and Han Hao's suggestions and recruited farmers to farm in Xuchang. He obtained millions of dendrobium grains that year, and later spread it to various states and counties. The dianong officers recruited people to farm and farm for the people.
The people who work in the fields are exempted from military service and corvee service. This move accomplishes multiple things!
The little fat man thought for a moment and then spoke. He said, "Do you know about Emperor Sejong Xiaowu's farmland?"
Everyone was stunned, do you still want to send people to farm on the border? Then I thought about it, it seems that it would be okay to send people to reclaim the wasteland in the Han Dynasty! Seeing that everyone was thoughtful, the little fat man said: "I am interested.
How about ordering all the states and counties to set up agricultural officers to recruit landless people to cultivate the land, so that the people in the fields can be exempted from military service and corvee service?"
Suddenly there was a commotion in the court, and the ministers were discussing, and even the matter of treason was thrown aside.
Those aristocratic families were extremely excited when they heard that the emperor would not divide their fields. Some of them agreed with the matter, but some people were also a little worried. Suddenly, Yang Ci asked: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, I'm afraid the people will try to escape in order to escape."
You have to join the military service, lie about your land, and become a villager!" The little fat man shook his head and said: "My people will not do this, and they are not members of your party!"
The reason why the little fat man is relieved is because there are pianong officers who can investigate and supervise. If such a situation occurs, they will be severely punished. I am afraid that few people will dare to take risks.
Yang Ci and others were a little embarrassed and nodded.
Qiao Xuan said: "The rich and powerful family has many tenants. The emperor can ask them to release the tenants, leaving only a few, and the rest will go to the Mintun together. In this way, the Mintun business will definitely prosper again!" After hearing Qiao Xuan's words,
So, the smiles on the faces of the excited party members suddenly froze. They looked at Qiao Xuan, then at the emperor above, and sighed, that's all, at least they can keep their fields.
The little fat man nodded and said with a smile: "Let Mr. Qiao handle this matter, okay?"
Qiao Xuan cupped his hands and nodded.
Suddenly, Xun Jian said: "Your Majesty, in the past when we were stationed in the fields, many soldiers were unwilling. The emperor rewarded them to make them feel at ease. Why don't your Majesty reward the farmers and mulberry trees? This will make the people in the army more active in dealing with this matter and not dare to do so.
"You are negligent, and all the villagers and other villagers should accept this kind of reward!" The little fat man smiled even more happily, nodded quickly, and said, "I will leave this matter to Mr. Xun!"
Xun Jian accepted the order.
Later, the party members suddenly discovered something. As long as they made clear suggestions, the emperor would let them take charge of the matter. So, wouldn't the emperor not pursue the suspected treason? Everyone suggested that they should report it. The little fat man was overjoyed and also
They were adopted one by one. For example, some people suggested that people from Huaixi be brought to Jiangdong for farming, because Jiangdong was backward in farming and weaving and had a lot of wasteland.
For places such as Jingzhou and Yizhou that are sparsely populated, people can be recruited from the Central Plains to go there. Those who go there will be rewarded.
Some people also proposed that mulberry farming is the basis for detecting the performance of officials. If the people's harvest is lower than the previous year, they will be punished. If it is higher than the previous year, they will be rewarded.
Others suggested calling in craftsmen, updating farm tools, and raising more cattle to help the people cultivate.
The little fat man has never thought that these talented people are not empty-bellied!
As expected, the little fat man had no taboos about his previous rebellion. As long as he had good words, he would dispatch them without investigating the fault. The ministers were overjoyed. A great cause against the great Han Nongsang had been launched in such a grand manner!
At the end, the little fat man was particularly excited. He even praised Yang Ci and other criminals who were suspected of treason. The majority party members deeply admired the emperor. Who can do this in ancient and modern times, except the emperor? At the end, the little fat man The fat man asked Zhang Jian to deal with the recent rebellion and left the hall directly. Zhang Jian was worried because he had no suggestions, and the leader Li Xian was recommended by him.
However, the emperor not only did not pursue the case, but instead asked him, as a court official, to investigate the case thoroughly. This made him feel a little dazed. He looked at the back of the little fat man and remained silent. Liu Tao walked up to him and said with a smile: " Why should Mr. Zhang be so sad? Come out with me and listen to the cheers of the people..."
