Chapter 693

Guo Huan opened his mouth and wanted to argue, but for a moment he could not find a reason. The population will continue to grow. In fact, the north is indeed more susceptible to disasters than the south.

Where there are small disasters every three years and major disasters every five years, the granary needs to ensure that you can eat three or two years of food for a bumper harvest in a year. Only in this way can you ensure that there will be no major hunger.

Cai Yan also said: "The south is rich, and even if the people do not have an inch of land, they can work with others to support their families. Even if they cannot find work, they can go to Daming Island and go overseas to farm and seek survival..."

"I will take a step back and say that even if they are really affected by disasters and cannot survive, it is easy to mobilize grain from Nanyang to help the South. At least it is much easier than transporting grain from Nanyang to Hebei, Shaanxi and Gansu, and Bingzhou!"

"The way of heaven can reduce the excess and make up for the deficiency."

"The stability of the north is related to the stability of the whole world, and this is why I want to put all the fields into my name. It is also because the stability of the north is related to the safety of the whole world, I just placed the capital in Yanjing!"

"Yanjing has become the imperial capital and the heart of the world. It will inevitably be the political, cultural and technological center of the world and even overseas countries in the future. Even if it is not the economic center of Kaifeng, the Song Dynasty, it will never be too bad. Moving wealthy households into Beijing can not only inject water into the exhausted wealth flow of the entire north, allowing more northern people to make profits, but also accelerate the process of the imperial capital as a political, cultural, technological and economic center! The faster this process, in a sense, you can become the real leader of the world! You are the real important officials in the world!"

"And now? What's the use of moving into the capital with millions of hardships? The real wealthy family is outside, the rich gentry who influences the officials of the world are outside, and the political center of the Ming Empire is scattered outside. You are just a group of puppets that have millions of troops that have dominated the world. You want to become truly important officials in charge of the world... but just seeking fish from a tree."

Cai Hua chuckled and shook his head, Guo Huan, Yao Zhongjiao, Liu Yidao... The expressions of the hundreds of ministers changed wildly. Without waiting for Guo Huan to tremble his lips, Sun Liu stepped forward and solemnly held his fists and bowed.

"Your Majesty is wise. The old minister thinks that the wealthy families in Jiangnan, Huaihe, Henan, Sichuan and Sichuan should enter Beijing to fill Kyoto!"

Yao Zhongjiao, Liu Yidao and others looked at each other and stepped forward and clasped their fists together.

"I and others agree that we should move our wealthy family to Beijing!"

"I'm going to discuss..."

Even Guo Huan, the chief minister of the cabinet, had to bow his head and hold his fists with all the civil and military officials of the court. He originally thought that he could move dozens or millions of poor people to Beijing, so that the high-ranking stingy emperor could reduce the housing prices, but now he realized that everything was so stupid.

The disaster in the south was not serious enough. Even though Cai Li had hundreds of thousands of hectares of land in the south of the Yangtze River, there were still countless people in the south of the Yellow River. However, Cai Li was not willing to go to the north. He preferred that all the poor in the south go overseas and become the Ming Empire to expand its living space, rather than staying in the Central Plains.

The Song Dynasty was a dynasty with capital as kings. Even if the capital characteristics of the Song Dynasty were not strong enough, the wealthy people in all dynasties had control over the local discourse power, and the gathering of these wealthy people became the political leaders of the entire country.

All the wealthy gentry who are rich and rich are in the south and outside the imperial capital. Even if the cabinet ministers do not really take charge of the world, they will inevitably form a political confrontation between the north and the south. Even if the world's troops are in the north, there must be such an invisible confrontation. The cabinet ministers can only rely on Cai Yan's force to take charge of the world, rather than their own prestige and power.

Cai Yan's words cannot be clearer. It is related to the struggle for world rights. No one is angry because Cai Yan occupied all the real estate in Kyoto. Originally, some people wanted to impeach Zhao Ji, Yelu Yanxi and the members of the Song and Liao clan spread rumors and slander the prince. Huang Wengong repeatedly asked about "there is no foundation" and other things, and none of the hundreds of ten ministers spoke.

...

Seeing the ministers in three or three shook their heads and sighed and left, Sun Liu said unhappily: "I have said it a long time ago. Even if I want to persuade them, I will act as private. Now, everyone has lost the boss's face. If the people in the north know about the words today, I still don't know what kind of chaos will be caused!"

Yao Zhongjiao looked at Sun Liu, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's useless to say these things now. It's better to strictly order others not to speak randomly!"

Liu Yidao shook his head and sighed: "Even if we want to block this matter, it will be difficult to block it. Those Song officials will never miss this opportunity."

The three of them looked at Guo Huan, who was standing alone not far away, and shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Although Guo Huan is from the Daming Island group, his desire to reduce the number of cabinet masters is not in line with the interests of the Daming Island group's cabinet masters. Yao Zhongjiao, Liu Yidao, Sun Liu and others also kept a distance from him.

The three of them shook their heads and left with a bitter smile. Guo Huan stood in front of the "Qianqing Gate" for a long time, and finally had to sigh and leave. As Liu Yidao said, it was less than half a day before the court discussion, and there were already people in the city who were dissatisfied with Guo Huan.

The distribution of land for the people of each field not only feeds the poor, but also increases taxes due to farming. At the same time, it can force Cai Yan to lower the housing prices in the capital and even obtain all the ownership of the houses under construction...

It was originally a great thing, but at least no official opposed it. Zhao Ji, a member of the countless workers in the capital, became Zhao Ji. When he learned that Guo Huan asked for a report, he also thought it was a loyal and good word, but why did he become a bad idea in the blink of an eye?

The Jingyuan Army took the lead in rebelling, which then caused the entire Western Army to rebel. Zhao Gou, Wang Boyan, Qin Hui, Zhang Jun... all died in the chaos. Instead, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan... and a group of Zhao family members survived.

When Zhao Fujin went to Shaanxi and Gansu to appease the people, he also sent these people to Yanjing. Of course, Cai Yan would never treat Yelu Yanxi as kind as he wanted to survive and work and support himself. Especially Zhao Ji, since he liked stones so much, he would deal with stones every day, and he gloriously became a stonemason who built a house.

Cai Yan could treat the Yingtian royal family well, because the Zhao family in the Song Dynasty had governed the world for a hundred years; he could treat Yelu Yanxi well, no matter how he was careful, no matter how he was a father-in-law of the Liao Dynasty was, he could turn a blind eye, and even forcefully pressed the officials below. The dissatisfaction of the ministers was because the Liao Dynasty had governed the grassland for a hundred years. He wanted to restore the vast territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and when he wanted to have a shallow foundation, he could use some means to gain a vast grassland without any effort...

He can treat Yingtian Zhao clan well, treat Yelu clan well, and even let them establish a country in a place that does not belong to the Central Plains, but he will never have any good face to Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan!

Cai Yan hates Zhao Ji, and from the bottom of his heart, not because Zhao Ji likes stones, not because Zhao Ji imprisons or wants to kill him. Any emperor will try every means to kill the person when facing a not-obedient general in the army. If generals such as Shiqi and Hu Zi dare to lead troops to stand up for their own selfish desires, perhaps he is more ruthless than Zhao Ji!

...

Watching the ministers leave one by one, Cai Yan sat on a high dragon chaise, holding his forehead with one hand and unconsciously stroking his son's head with the other hand. He frowned and looked at the empty hall, but his pupils were a little distracted and unconscious...

"Li'er..."

After a long time, Cai Hua suddenly spoke. Zhu Wanli looked up and looked at his father who was still silently looking at the empty hall...

"Ruo Li'er is that Zhao Ji..."

"Will Li'er kill her father?"

Huang Wengong, who was standing with his waist bow, was shocked inexplicably, and Zhu Wanli's eyes were full of confusion.

"Dad is Daddy!"

...

"hehe……"

Cai Yan gently stroked his son's head and sighed softly at the empty hall...

"hehe……"

"We must first settle the home after fighting foreign countries..."

Cai Yan sighed and said, "Everyone has a standard of 'loyalty' in his heart. Treacherous ministers, greedy ministers, all the emperor's preferences, and their will is wrong. If the king wants to kill good ministers who are loyal to the country, is loyal generals wrong? If the father raises up and rebels, it must be right?"

...

"Mom said...Mom said the people are the most important, and the country is the next, and the king is the least important!"

Cai Yan looked down at his son's solemn face, suddenly nodded and smiled, hugged his son and stood up, walking down the Danbi stairs, nodding and smiling: "Li'er is indeed a good child, but how can he judge the matter of 'people first'?"

Zhu Wanli frowned with a faint brow, and thought for a while before saying, "Mencius said: Jie and Zhou lost the world, lose the people; those who lost the people will lose their hearts. There is a way to gain the world: if you get the people, you will win the world. There is a way to gain the people: if you get the heart, you will win the people. There is a way to gain the hearts: if you get the things you want, don't do anything to you."

"Dad once said that people should pay food first, let the people eat and wear a good meal, and put fairness and justice with the people first!"

He also said: "My mother said that the Song State is rich but the people work hard. My grandfather cannot slow down the people's livelihood within and cannot resist the invasion of Hu. He is a big villain!"

Cai Yan didn't expect his son to say this. He was very happy that his son in his arms tightly, but he said, "What my son said is, but who can guarantee that his father is a king who puts the people first? What if his father is like a polite grandfather, he is a talented man and leads troops into the south of the Yangtze River, which aggravates the disaster in the world? What if his father is also a devastating person? Is there a standard?"

Zhu Wanli was only six or seven years old, so how could he answer this question? He said in confusion: "Didn't Dad drive away the female savage?"

"hehe……"

Cai Yan lowered his head and kissed his son's small forehead, climbed up the city tower step by step, and looked at the countless busy people in the imperial capital...

"The climber..."

"One day, one province..."

...

Everyone has a standard of "loyalty" in their hearts, and there is a bench under their butt. Who can be sure that the word "world" must be engraved on the bench under their butt? Who can guarantee that there is a suitable person sitting on the bench with "world" in their hearts?

Cai Yan stood at the top of the city and looked at the people who were trying hard to pull the stones from afar. He felt confused in his heart, but the confusion that was only a few breaths, became a lazy and bastard boy when his son patted his cheek.

"The king succeeds and the enemy defeats the enemy!"

"Everyone has his own persistence, so use a sword to decide whether it is right or wrong!"

Cai Yan held his son's little hand and when he left the city, he patted his son's little head with a smile on his face.

"Li'er, you have to work hard. If someone is robbed of the world, Dad will be spanked!"

"Yeah, Li'er is obedient!"

"Listen to the grandma, listen to dad, mom, listen to..."
