They began to argue, but Zhao Xi still accepted it. After all, they were all husbands and restrained themselves.
But then... there was no intention of stopping.
Zhao Xi simply drank tea by himself... It seemed that he had nothing to do today and just listened to their nonsense.
If you simply talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the Green Seed Law, you can still listen to it to some extent. But when it comes to arguing later, Zhao Xi can't listen at all.
Let's talk about young crops, let's start the debate around the core... Although there is no result in the end, at least I can listen to both and it will make sense, right?
But what happened next?
Starting from the supervision of the Young Crops Law, when it comes to more shortcomings of the dynasty, and the conduct of ministers...it cannot be said that it is completely irrelevant.
The main reason is that Zhao Xi doesn't care about the outcome of their debate at all, he just needs the state and process of the dispute in the court.
Naturally, I don’t have much patience.
"Zhongzheng, please inform the imperial kitchen to prepare meals...~"
Arriving at Chui Gong Hall not long after Mao Shi, it was quite tiring to argue endlessly.
Even Wen Yanbo, who rarely talked much during the meeting, got involved a lot, not to mention Han Qi, who was already resentful, and Sima Guang, who was the first to fire.
The good thing is that everyone stayed silent while eating, and it was quiet during the meal.
"What do you think, Mr. Han?"
When Zhao Xi puts down the bowls and chopsticks, it means everyone has finished eating.
Since there is no intention to let Han Qi go out, Han Qi must be regarded as the eldest among the husband-in-law, and Han Qi's opinion needs to be adopted.
As for how much Han Qi is thinking, Zhao Xi should not care.
"Let's discuss it..."
After hearing what Han Qi said, Zhao Xi looked at Wang Anshi again.
The right to choose was originally given to him, but he used it wrongly. I don't know if it is considered passive at this time.
"The morning meeting is on schedule. Before the meeting, you gentlemen, please share your opinions on the Green Seedlings Law."
"That way I can see your clear opinions and suggestions...~"
The overtone is: I really don’t like this kind of argument.
Leave some time to see if Wang Anshi can win over more allies to avoid being frantically besieged during the court meeting.
In terms of demand, Zhao Xi does not want to end this dispute prematurely. Only a protracted war can allow him to mix in private goods.
The innovation still belongs to Wang Anshi, and he needs to carry the flag. This period of time is really not suitable for me to take too many actions. If it is to resolve the disputes in the court, it will be another matter.
Therefore, for the first time, Zhao Xi did not want to get things done quickly.
It turns out that procrastination is sometimes necessary.
The definition of the Secrecy Act strictly limits the scope of foreign-related or military propaganda, but does not impose too many restrictions on such gatherings that concern the common people.
After all, the next step is the court meeting. Let the officials know in advance and solidify their speeches at the court meeting later.
Therefore, this meeting was spread widely not long after it ended.
It's just that the transmission is a bit messy.
The officials support the Green Crops Law...~ Wang Anshi must not be so straightforward, right? Maybe, at least he will hint to his own people that the officials support the Green Crops Law. Otherwise, the team will disperse before they can get together.
The official opposition to the Young Crops Law... This is a fabrication. From the beginning to the end, Zhao Xi has never explicitly opposed it. He is not Sima Guang, and his stance is not that positive.
He was not the minister of political affairs, and he was very unhappy with Wang Anshi's use of official edicts to convene meetings.
He is not even Han Qi, who is dissatisfied with Wang Anshi's behavior of getting more and more dead.
Officials need court ministers to help them make decisions... Although it is a bit expanded the role of ministers, in fact it is closest to Zhao Xi's attitude.
Different rumors caused confusion in the court.
How should I put it? There are probably not many people who really care about whether the Green Seed Law can be implemented and implemented, but once their own interests are involved, it is another matter.
The young crop method is indeed a new method to grab sales.
If the government issues usury money, it will naturally cut off the original source of income for this job.
The intention is to support poor households, but it also seems to be to prevent annexation, which is also a bit offensive to the annexationists.
Therefore, the court could not be peaceful. This was because there were more ministers and workers in the court from the south.
Except for Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in the entire south, the cultivated land is not as abundant as in the north. Even if it is annexed, it will not make much profit.
The two lakes have not yet been developed, and the south's preference for farming is not as good as that of the north.
As for the north, apart from Zhao Xi dragging some people along in his early years, most of the ways to make his family prosperous were concentrated in the fields.
This is probably why Sima Junshi, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and others have made their stances so clear. All of their families have farmland as their main business.
"Are you saying that 30% of the farmland in Xiangzhou belongs to the Han family?"
"When I got back to the official's house, the report said this."
Zhao Xi was waiting for the opinions and suggestions of the prime ministers, and naturally needed to know their positions, so he asked the Imperial City Division to collect the land ownership of the prime ministers' families.
It's not very optimistic, or the situation is very serious.
"The official report has detailed explanations. More than half of them are not directly managed by the Han family. They are used to bear the name of the Han family to avoid the two taxes. The Han family only charges rents lower than the two taxes."
With such a tax policy and such preferential treatment for scholar-bureaucrats and ancestral laws, it would be strange if there is no such situation.
"How are the others?"
The entire political affairs hall...well, Zhao Xi didn't dare to think about it.
Wang Anshi's trick of playing young crops is probably because there is not much farmland to occupy in Jiangxi, right?
"Xiangong Sima's family in Xia County, Shaanzhou, has nearly 20% of the farmland. Xianggong Han has relatively less farmland..."
Listening to the reports from Wang Zhongzheng's family, Zhao Xi's heart sank little by little.
These husbands in the court are all big landowners. The little imperial land outside Bianliang City that I own probably won't attract anyone's attention at all.
"In recent years, because the price of food has remained at 20 cents, many cultivated fields have been abandoned due to poor harvest due to terrain, water sources, etc..."
I originally thought that some of Wang Anshi's words were alarmist. Now it seems that Wang Jiefu still saved everyone's face, and the actual situation is more serious than what he said.
There is certainly nothing wrong with stable grain prices, and because of the comparison between the benefits and costs of farming, it is understandable that these merging families would give up some farmland.
The problem is that while they gave up and abandoned some farmland, there were still farmers who had no land to farm... This was abnormal, and the court needed to intervene.
Forget it, let's wait for a while and see how you perform.
Zhao Xi was depressed, very depressed.
No matter how bad my mood is, I will never stop feeling calm in the morning and night.
I wandered to Ciming Palace, only to find that my woman was also there...~
"Xi'er, my uncle's family has sent word that Xi'er thinks of the Qingmiao Law, and how my uncle's family should express its position. We need to get the charter..."
Hearing the Queen Mother's question and looking at Tao Niang's expression... it seemed that she meant this. Tao Niang couldn't ask this alone, so she went to Ciming Palace and asked the Queen Mother together.
"My dear, I am not very proficient in farming, and I don't know much about the actual situation in the country's countryside."
"Now the child still needs the opinions of the ministers and workers, real opinions, so that the child can make an accurate judgment and make the right decision."
Although Lao Liu's family expressed their loyalty, Zhao Xi really didn't have the time to express his stance at this time.
