The reasons are very sufficient and the stance is very clear. They are all considered from the perspective of sharing the worries of the imperial court and resolving the difficulties of the Song Dynasty, at least in terms of rhetoric.
First, they took into account the plight of the imperial court caused by the war, and second, they couldn’t see the Yunying Four Prefectures continuing to be so desolate... They were really worried about the country and the people!
Even though the atmosphere of the court has improved greatly nowadays, there are always people who seek profit in the name of justice.
The reason why Zhao Xi asked everyone to discuss this matter was not because there was really no conclusion, but because he was a little unsure about some details.
It is definitely impossible to purchase and let the nobles claim it. It is only uncertain how to distribute the huge interests of the four states in Yunying among the court, army, border army, imperial army and ministers.
Dealing with the nearly 500,000 useless Imperial Guards was Zhao Xi's top priority, otherwise he would not have spent money and food to mobilize the Imperial Guards northward when the war was coming to an end... The purpose was never single.
Zhao Xi had the idea of referring to Dali Mining City, and wanted to convert these waste forbidden troops into civilians, and at the same time, they could also be deployed as reserve forces in the four states of Yunying.
But the last of these forbidden troops can be said to be in terrible condition. They are placed in the four states of Yunying. It is not sure whether they can play a reserve role.
The key is, if the land is divided up by the useless Forbidden Army, how should the real new troops guarding the border be appeased? How should the soldiers who have made military exploits be balanced?
However, if the fields were allocated to the garrison troops, he was worried that if things went on like this, it would end up like the previous Jiedu feudal town.
He originally wanted to get some inspiration from the debate and improve his plan...but he thought too much.
This was not a court meeting, nor was it at the Qinzheng Palace in Bianliang. Zhao Xi saw that some ministers had been unconscious, using high-level excuses, and shamelessly seeking benefits... He got up and left immediately.
…
Miners, ration fields... ~ This is the policy promulgated by the officials in the Forbidden Army camp before leaving the northern part of the Great Wall and entering the customs.
Anyone from the imperial army who intends to stay in the four prefectures of Yunying to work as a miner will have their family members allocated ration fields.
At the same time, the imperial court's Sinong Temple will open up wasteland, and finally manage the remaining fertile and wasteland in a unified manner to establish a farm reclamation farm managed by the state-owned temple.
The ownership of the land in the reclamation farm belongs to the imperial court, but the farming and income will be awarded to the garrison. The garrison in the past years is different, and the income from the fields must belong to different armies.
From this point of view, this part of the land is more like a military property, and the Privy Council has certain rights. Because the Privy Council has the right to decide which troops should be stationed in the four states of Yunying.
At the same time, whether the land reclamation will increase year by year, or whether the grain output will be related to the performance of local officials.
In addition, the imperial court also allowed the Imperial Guards to convert to civilians and open up wasteland. The imperial court would exempt the land reclaimed by the Imperial Guards from civilians for three years from taxes. Moreover, the wasteland belonged to the pioneers and the imperial court would not interfere.
For the imperial court, Yunying Four States was an opportunity for ownership vacuum. After Zhao Xi determined the general direction, all the ministers were very good at playing checks and balances.
The Imperial Guards who were converted to civilians, the Imperial Guards who were converted to miners, the new garrisoned troops, the local yamen, the Imperial Privy Council, the Sinong Temple, and the State-owned Temple were all entangled with each other's interests, eliminating the possibility of one family becoming dominant.
At the same time, with the temptation of ration fields and Nagata, these waste forbidden troops can be driven to a large extent to convert into civilians. It can not only solve the way out for these waste forbidden troops, but also effectively fill the current situation of the vacancies in Dingkou of Yunying Four Prefectures.
Think about it again... From the time of the Yanmen Great Victory, the officials seemed to have expected such a situation, and even the reactions of the ministers and workers were considered by the officials.
"Rich Prime Minister, is it possible that all this was expected by the officials?"
After passing Yanmen Pass, the return journey was much smoother, and the princes could chat in the carriage.
Han Qi really didn't want to believe that it was the officials' prediction, but the facts proved that everything was as expected by the officials.
"Zhigui, the officials asked for the transfer of imperial troops to the north, but we agreed to move forward slowly without the officials asking further questions. At that time, we should have thought that the officials had already begun to consider post-war matters."
"If it is really for war, the officials will never allow the court to delay the deployment of troops. Even Gongfang City will not transport them at all."
"In fact, all the reactions were within the expectations of the officials, including Xiao Zhuoer's message to the Northern Liao court, and the cavalry garrison in the North Liao River Province advancing towards Weizhou. They were all within the expectations of the officials."
"And the official's decision to send Su Zirong north to explore was a stroke of genius. The rich mineral resources in the four prefectures and the foreseeable profit prospects made even the stubborn opponents of expansion no longer oppose the war."
"As long as the government distributes the mineral income from the four states of Yunying, the country will become more martial in the future, and it will also ignite the ambitions of the courtiers."
"This time when going north, the accompanying ministers and workers only left Li Jie and Li Mingzhong in Daizhou, while Gongfang City mobilized a large number of craftsmen to go north, which shows that the officials intend to open up the Yanmen natural barrier."
"In other words, in the end, the government may give up the interests of mineral resources and let Gongfang City, or the royal family, or the court control the access to the Yanmen natural barrier."
"In order to ensure that the interests of the four Yunying states are not damaged, whether it is the courtiers, the useless imperial troops, or even the garrisons of the four Yunying states, they will work hard to make the four Yunying states strong, or even turn them into inner states. This
It will inevitably require expansion and conquest by force."
The more Fu Bi said, the more clearly he could clarify the official's thinking, and he had to be impressed by the official's strategy again.
Looking at the previous operations of the official family, they are all progressing step by step.
"I'm afraid the rich prime minister is right. I heard that Zhao Qin from the royal family has gone north, and Liu Yanwen, the deputy city lord of Dali Mining City, and the Huaizhou Coal Mine...~ even the deputy director of the coal mine planned to be built by the rebels has also gone north, and even the workers have gone north.
The cement factory in Fangcheng has also sent craftsmen to the north!"
"The imperial court is always unable to get involved in these places. Even though many courtiers have interests in it, no one can get involved. It is a territory that is completely loyal to the official family."
Wen Yanbo said leisurely, as if he was supporting Fu Bi's statement.
"From the very beginning, the agreement between the government and each company has made the authority clear, and non-participation is a key clause. If it is said that the government had already laid the groundwork for the present at that time, I still don't believe it."
Fu Bi glanced at Wen Yanbo.
"Why can't you believe it? In fact, it is like this. As a bystander during the Wan Yinshan exercise, I could already feel the overall strategy of the officials."
"Kuanfu, if the officials did not limit the authority to participate when they solicited various forces from the imperial court to invest in Dali Mining City, what do you think the four states will be like now? Will Gongfang City be as prosperous as it is today?"
"Look at the operations of the government over the years. The Guangnan Manganese Mine, the Dali Copper-Iron Mine, and the various workshops in Gongfangcheng. These profits account for almost 40% of each household. Who is willing to violate the agreement and throw it away?"
"Besides, the annual financial announcement is clear and there are no flaws. Is there any reason to target such a model?"
"Let's put it this way, even if the benefits of transferring the mining city resources in Yunying Four Prefectures are not great to the government, they are still operated in this structure, and the courtiers have no objections."
He Fu Bi wouldn't have any objection. This was something that could make the family prosperous. Who could refuse?
