Chapter 1184
Wang Yang knew very well that the Song Dynasty could not resist land annexation and the people could not resist the free migration of the people. It was precisely because of this that the prosperous Song Dynasty was created.
However, it also led to many disadvantages. Land annexation is extremely serious. Even officials with many integrity and honest names in the Song Dynasty also rallied the land and accounted for it.
After all, compared with this era, their behavior was very normal, but they did not use despicable means to merge like those gentry with corrupt morality.
It was precisely because land annexation formed a powerful and unstoppable trend in the Song Dynasty that a large number of people who lost their land either became tenants in order to survive and continued to work facing the loess and facing the sky.
Either, it is to enter the town and survive by working hard or selling technology. It is precisely because a large amount of labor has poured into other industries that the industry and commerce of the Song Dynasty are so prosperous and prosperous.
Moreover, the taxes brought by industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty had steadily exceeded the benefits brought by agriculture. Wang Yang remembered that during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Song, the amount of commercial tax collection nationwide was about four million guan.
By the time of the Qingli period of Renzong, the business had soared to 22 million yuan, accounting for 56% of the total annual tax revenue of the country that year, and the business had exceeded half.
Well, Wang Yang admitted that his thinking was divergent and excessive, which led to a tragic situation. Nowadays, it is not the time to consider economic common sense, but to consider how to deal with the current dilemma.
Wang Yang really didn't expect that the method he had thought very thoroughly and was a good strategy for the country and the people, but he couldn't even get through the Empress Dowager's level.
Not to mention that we need to go through discussions between civil and military officials in the court.
"Wangwushan, the Ai family knows your thoughts and your strategy is indeed for the country and the people. However, the situation in the court is too complicated now, and the ministers have their own selfish intentions. Alas..." Empress Dowager Gao Taotao couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw Wang Yang's appearance.
Emperor Zhao Xu, with a gloomy face, walked slowly in the hall with his hands in his arms. "This is a good strategy that is beneficial to the country and the people, and is both beautiful, but it is not allowed to be implemented because of the obstruction of those important ministers..."
Finally, he suddenly paused and said viciously. "If it really doesn't work, I will issue the imperial edict."
"The official family must not..." The Empress Dowager was startled and quickly persuaded him. "After the imperial edict is issued, the crowd will inevitably be in a turbulent relationship. At that time, not only will no ministers come out to take on this burden, but more importantly, it will damage your reputation."
"The emperor's grandmother, it's not unclear. But do I have to submit to the will of those ministers and put in good strategies that are truly beneficial to the court and the people?" Emperor Zhao Xu said unwillingly.
"Empress, Your Majesty, I actually have an idea that may be able to solve this problem." Wang Yang, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head again and said to Empress Dowager Gao Taotao and Emperor Zhao Xu.
"There is still a way?" Gao Taotao and the emperor Zhao Xu actually shouted in unison.
Wang Yang nodded heavily. "I wonder if the land in Huanglongze belongs to private or court?"
"Since the reign of Emperor Renzong, after the Yellow River flooded that area, the original people have migrated to other places. The land in that area has become a homeless land, so it can naturally be considered a courthouse. What do you want to do if you want to do Wangwushan?" The Empress Dowager Gao Taotao responded quickly.
"I want to spend money to buy all the uninhabited land in the Huanglongze area." Wang Yang thought for a while, and then said something that made the Empress Dowager and Emperor Zhao Xu stunned.
"You boy is crazy?" The Empress Dowager Gao Taotao subconsciously said something, as if he felt that saying this was too heartbreaking. After coughing, he tried hard to squeeze out a kind smile. "Wang Wushan, don't be anxious, the solution was finally come up with people."
"Empress, I am not joking or talking with a very devastating voice, but I do have such an idea." Wang Yang replied with a serious look on his face and bowed to the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao.
"Would Wang Wushan, do you want to... recruit and digest those refugees after Wang Yang said with some complicated expressions?" Emperor Zhao Xu looked at Wang Yang.
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise. I am the one who is thinking that since the court will not agree to establish a bank outside Shaanxi North Road at this point in time, then only in this way can the court not consume a lot of financial resources and place the displaced people."
"Wangwushan, you, it will be of no benefit to yourself when you do this. Huanglongze wants to clear the dredging and resettle the people, and the money spent on millions."
"I know that there are indeed many industries under your name, but this is what the court should have done, you..."
In addition to being shocked, the emperor was only full of emotion. In the world, there was a minister who dared to do this, at least not in the past, and was willing to use all his wealth to share the worries of the country.
This loyalty and this sincere desire to serve the country is really...
The Empress Dowager Gao Taotao shook his head slowly and couldn't speak for a long time. "Wang Wushan, if you do this, if you are not careful, you will be doomed... Those are tens of thousands of people, you can do it with your own strength..."
"As a Song Dynasty person, and a Song minister, I should worry about the king and share the worries of the country..." Wang Yang said with a righteous face.
"Wang Wushan, are you really sure that you are so sure? You can use your own strength to soothe the tens of thousands of people who have been displaced to Bianliang due to the disaster." Emperor Zhao Xu glanced at the Empress Dowager beside him and asked Wang Yang solemnly.
"I am not 100% sure, but I think that some things will definitely benefit the country and the people. I remember that the wise mentor Mencius said: Even if there are thousands of people, I will go..."
Wang Yang's expression was very calm and his tone seemed very peaceful, but this sentence made eunuchs like the emperor, the empress dowager, or Ma Shang and Xu Degong present deeply shocked by the power and spirit contained in this sentence.
Even if there are thousands of people, I will go. This sentence comes from "Mencius: Gongsun Chou Shang" means that I think the truth is correct. Even if I face the obstacles of thousands of people, I will definitely move forward bravely.
"Good one: Even if there are thousands of people, I will go..." Emperor Zhao Xu stood up, his eyes slightly red, looking at the tall and heroic Wang Wushan standing tall and heroic in front of him.
"I can get the help of Mr. Wushan, like a fish in water." Walking to Wang Yang, the emperor Zhao Xu, the rare emperor, supported the Guan, shook his sleeves, and then bowed to Wang Yang.
Even the King of Kings, who was busy posing and pretending, was frightened by the emperor's actions and quickly avoided the side. "Your Majesty must not do it."
