This person, after experiencing a reversal in mood, especially after reversing in the desired direction, will feel particularly happy. This is the case with Zhao Xi and Fu Bi now.
Zhao Xi and the others would not normally drink the wine sold in this wine shop in Jeju, and even Zhong Jianzhong would not disdain it...it was too bad. However, Zhao Xi and Fu Bi drank it with gusto.
"Guan Jia, if this happens frequently and for a long time, Beiliao will definitely send envoys to consult, right?"
I didn’t drink too much, I was just in a good mood and spoke more casually.
"Prime Minister Fu, I think Bei Liao is worried that the imperial court will ask them why they want to block the returnees from the south, instead of coming to consult the imperial court. But it's good to come over. Originally, the imperial court is not good at intervening in such matters, but Bei Liao's consultation can help
The imperial court intervened..."
The behavior of this pair of monarchs and ministers made even Zhao Qin want to laugh. They looked like their treacherous plot had succeeded.
The incident was over, the bad wine was drunk, and the prosperity of Jeju was visible, so it was time to return to the court.
After leaving Bianliang for two days, Zhao Xi really wasn't taking a break, but he was actually much more relaxed. Fu Bi had always been hiding some worries in his heart, but he never said it, and he couldn't explain it.
Fu Bi didn't know whether he was pretending to be drunk or really drunk. Anyway, he fell asleep after getting on the boat. Zhao Xi also took a short rest. Then he began to think about the development direction of the imperial court...
In the words of later generations, agriculture is the primary industry, and the nature of agriculture has not changed much until thousands of years later. However, the country has shown a tendency to focus on industry and neglect agriculture. As for the current industrial foundation of the country, Zhao Xi is very clear
Very unrealistic.
The people don't understand, and even some court officials may not understand, so they need guidance.
Zhao Xi was wondering whether he should follow the example of later generations, where the first decree of every great court meeting was determined to be related to farming and mulberry cultivation.
Maybe I think too much, and the impact on future generations will be too great, which is a bit like fighting the enemy. An ethnic group that mainly relies on farming and inheritance cannot give up its roots just because of short-term industrial profits.
Afterwards, it is better to communicate with the ministers and workers. It is better not to make one's own decisions on this issue.
"Zhongzheng, you have been with me for many years, so your family must have some money, right? What do you want to do most when you have money?"
Just ask around and you should be able to figure out what people in this era are thinking.
"Officials... official families, the younger ones don't have much money... no money."
"Come here! No money? No money. There are three houses in Bianliang? You also have three or five sons, right? Let me ask you, why do you think so much? Tell me, what do you want to do most when you have money!"
"The official family, I have been with the official family for these years, and the rewards from the official family and my mother-in-law have also made me some money. What I want to do most, and what I have already done, is to buy some fields first, and then rent them to tenants, even if I don't rent them.
I am a child, I just want to have a mouth to eat at any time..."
After all, he has been in the business for many years and is not like a fool like Wang Zhongzheng.
"Xiao Qin, do you think the same will happen to the ministers, scholar-bureaucrats, gentry, and merchants of the dynasty if they become rich?"
Zhao Xi is not a king who does not eat minced meat, but he still does not fully understand the thoughts of people in this era. As for the importance of industry and farming in people's hearts, Zhao Xi cannot fully understand it.
In future generations, no one with money will care about land. Once rich people in future generations have more money, they will sell everything, but they will rarely buy a piece of land and plant it themselves.
"In the official sector, the so-called employment is not simply a lack of industrial labor. Except for the imperial court and those large industries, the employment of most local and state capitals takes into account both industry and farming."
"Although the gentry and merchants make profits in various industries, they are still working on the fields. The hired workers also have to help with the farming, and the wages are paid the same."
Maybe he was over the top, or maybe Zhao Qin saw things from a different level. But what Zhao Qin said is also useful. Of course, Zhao Xi would not make a conclusion in his mind just based on Zhao Qin's few words.
"You are a fool!"
Zhao Xi really couldn't say that this king was righteous. It was as if he was terrible.
······
Fu Bi wanted to sleep until he entered the Qinzheng Hall, but unfortunately, as he got older, he never slept much. When the cruise ship was approaching Bianliang, Fu Bi woke up and couldn't help but leave the room.
"The rich prime minister won't stay in bed anymore?"
Zhao Xi's eyes were playful... He knew what Fu Bi was thinking.
"Official family······"
A little embarrassed, Fu Bi didn't know how to reply.
"Prime Minister Fu, I am confident in my court. I am also confident in my son. I believe even more in my own army, my own generals, and my own ministers."
Two days after leaving the palace and leaving Bianliang, Zhao Xi saw all Fu Bi's performance.
In the Jeju City wine shop, Bo Bi deliberately got drunk because he didn't want to see certain scenes, or he didn't want to get involved in certain things, or even didn't know how to face certain things.
Is it possible? No. Even if I leave Bianliang for a few months and the prince supervises the country for a few months, he will only be supervising the country. There will be no accidents and the prince will not have any ideas.
Twenty years as a crown prince... It has been a long time, and even with his own physical condition, it is very likely that he will inherit the throne from another generation, but Zhao Xi still believes in his son.
Yes, Gao Zunyu had a false name among the Bianliang garrison. After the palace guards were transferred from Zhong Jianzhong, the actual person in charge was also a member of the Crown Princess Xiang's family. This was not Zhao Xi's intention, but an unintentional result.
There are indeed some opportunities in this situation, but Zhao Xi really has no intention of testing the prince.
The ministers and ministers may not think so... Isn't Fu Bi just thinking wildly? Also, since the attack on the prince happened, it seems that the succession to the throne has become a thing.
Fu Bi was very ashamed, and his ministers should also be very ashamed. Until the official entered the palace, the prince was still like that, doing whatever he had to do, as if the official had never left, as if he had no supervision of the country.
When the official entered the palace, the prince greeted him politely, said hello, picked up the big and small things that happened in the court today, talked about the key points, and then continued to act as the prince or superintendent of the country, depending on the official.
It depends on whether the family still intends to leave the city.
Fan Chunren is a pure person and a truly worried minister. He didn't think too much. He only thought that the official went to Guoqiao Town and the supervisory office would probably be busy for a long time. This time he was gone for two days and it was still uncertain.
How many deficiencies in the supervision yamen will be noticed by the officials?
Therefore, Fan Chunren waited anxiously...
In the end, nothing happened and it just passed. Fan Chunren was puzzled but also very happy.
The cabinet and other important ministers were also puzzled, but they were not happy, but worried, because Fu Bi's expression was very strange.
The official's return to the palace ended in such a simple and grand manner. It was more like usual, just a simple face-to-face meeting.
What happened in the past two days? Nothing happened in the court, and the officials left the palace? Nothing happened either?
