"If there were so many what-ifs, the world would have been peaceful long ago." Xie Yuan laughed, "He chose this path himself, so let him go."
One day, there will be an inevitable war between the Wei Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty.
At that time, it will not be too late to deal with Shi Ji.
Luo Chen nodded.
After Emperor Jianyuan learned that Luo Chen was Xie Yuan's favorite disciple, he admired this foreign boy very much.
After he reported his work, he specifically asked him if he would like to stay in the capital and serve as an official together with Xie Yuan.
Luo Chen shook his head.
The boy yearned for the outside world more than staying healthy, so he wanted to continue trading.
After Emperor Jianyuan learned about it, he gave him a brand new customs clearance document, which was written in his own hand.
"As long as I am here, don't be afraid if you are bullied while doing business abroad. Jin Dynasty is your backing." Emperor Jianyuan handed the customs clearance document to Luo Chen and patted his shoulder.
The young man nodded heavily.
There were no natural disasters in Jiangnan this year, and the harvest was exceptionally good.
Granaries across the Jin Dynasty can now store grain.
The land equalization order implemented by Xie Yuan has also achieved good results——
When people can afford to eat, they are naturally willing to work hard.
After all, people depended on food for their livelihood, so this year, the food collected by the imperial court through taxes was much more than before.
In previous years, many people owed food and refused to teach. This year, with food, they not only made up for the shortage, but even had their own surplus.
Xie Yuan knew that this was a good start.
In the future, there will definitely be more food in the barn every year.
The people will also become richer year by year.
The aristocratic family couldn't help but be jealous when they saw that the common people had gained a lot, but the income from their own fields was mediocre.
In addition to being jealous of the income of the common people, he was also jealous of the people behind the scenes who implemented this policy, so he picked on Xie Yuan one by one regardless of anything.
Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows as he looked at these aristocratic families who were starting to behave like monsters. He seemed to casually mention in the court that when the aristocratic family had no food to eat, he took out the food to trade.
The aristocratic families thought that although Xie Yuan had released the fields, he was still the head of Dajin Agriculture. If he was really angry, no one would dare to sell grain to the aristocratic family.
Then they all kept silent and stopped making a fuss about the food issue.
After making sure of it, Xie Yuan asked Luo Chen to take this year's grain production, as well as newly produced silk, tea and other Central Plains items, to the Western trade.
Considering what had happened in Modi before, Xie Yuan specifically asked Luo Chen to take five hundred soldiers with him.
On November 8, this caravan embarked on the Silk Road in great strength.
However, this time they took the sea route opened by Xie Yuan.
Yes, Xie Yuan established the Municipal Shipping Department to specifically manage the ships going out to sea for trade in various ports.
During this period, the Wei Dynasty encountered natural disasters and launched an attack on the Jin Dynasty because of insufficient food.
At this time, Guo Jia, who was guarding Northern Xinjiang, used a simple trick to capsize the boat without allowing the Wei soldiers to even board the shore.
The Wei generals who ran ashore attacked the army led by Guo Jia. Guo Jia devised another plan to lure the enemy deep and then annihilate them all.
This battle made this young man named Guo Fengxiao famous throughout the Jin Dynasty.
It also made Dawei jealous of Guo Jia.
In the second year of Jianyuan, the seventeenth day of the first lunar month.
People celebrated the New Year happily, and Xie Yuan began to prepare for this year's spring. Huo Qubing suddenly came to him and said that someone had beaten the Dengwen drum.
