Empty.

The precious flowers and plants in the palace have disappeared, the strange rocks and rockeries have disappeared, and even the furniture in the palace has disappeared. What is left is only some extremely simple and barely usable furniture. At first glance, it looks like the kind of furniture used in ordinary people's homes.

Zhao Jixiang had only left Bianjing for two or three months, and the entire Longde Palace had changed. Except for the fact that the yard was still as big and the house was still the same, the rest, whether it was furniture or other hardware, was still there.

In terms of software such as environment, the words Yongdeokgung Palace and palace have nothing to do with each other.

Maybe not as good as those gentry families who got rich overnight.

"The official family is really the most filial!"

Zhao Jixiang laughed angrily, pointed at Longde Palace in front of him and said, "How much did he spend to guard Bianjing?"

"I don't know. If the emperor wants to know how much the officials spent, he has to ask the officials for details."

He Ji bowed to Zhao Jixiang expressionlessly, and then continued: "It's getting late. If the emperor didn't have any instructions, would the minister have resigned first?"

After Zhao Jixiang nodded, He Ji slowly withdrew from Longde Palace and returned to the palace to report back to Zhao Huan.

"The people below were too careless in doing things. Several keyholes in Longde Palace were inexplicably broken. If the Emperor hadn't returned to Longde Palace, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't have been discovered."

He Ji bowed and said: "I am not strict with you, please be punished by the officials!"

…

"Now that the Jin soldiers have retreated, the officials should persuade farmers to take action. At the same time, they should also consider this year's enke, so why start another war?"

Zhao Jixiang disappeared silently into the power center of the Song Dynasty. Empress Dowager Meng also said to remove the curtain and quickly removed the curtain. The power of the entire Song Dynasty seemed to be concentrated in the hands of Zhao Huan in an instant.

Then the ministers in the court all pointed their fingers at Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan's heart was also filled with the feeling of a beeping dog——

Since ancient times, probably since the emperor became a profession, flower growers have been trapped in a strange circle.

The interests of the emperor and the people are generally consistent, and the interests of the civil and military officials are only consistent in some small directions. However, these civil and military officials are not of the same mind as the people, nor are they of the same mind as the emperor. Even the civil officials and military generals are not of the same mind. Even

At certain times, civil servants and civil servants, and military generals and generals were not of the same mind. Mountains of all sizes stood among them. If you open the history books and read them carefully, you will find that apart from the two words "cannibalism", there are four other words that refer to intrigue.

What's more damning is that the emperor must rely on civil and military officials to govern the people, and civil and military officials must rely on the authority granted by the emperor to govern the government and local areas. But more often than not, these civil and military officials are thinking about how to compete with the emperor in a battle of wits and courage.

Generally speaking, when the founding emperor was in office, the imperial power was the strongest. During this period, the generals also had a relatively large say. When the national power gradually weakened, the imperial power gradually weakened, and the civil servants also had a greater say.

The group will slowly gain the upper hand.

This process usually takes about a hundred years. In the five thousand years of history, almost no dynasty can escape this vicious circle.

Just like now, without the presence of Zhao Jixiang, the big guys in the court focused their attention on Zhao Huan, the current emperor.

In short, in one sentence, the Song Dynasty still had a lot of bad things to do. You old man can't just think about leading troops to destroy things. If you continue to do so and win, will there be anyone in the world who can suppress you in the future?

Of course, after all is said and done, these people in the court are not joking about the national destiny of the Song Dynasty——

Since ancient times, admonishing farmers and farmers has been something that the emperor needs to worry about, and it is also a matter of winning people's hearts.

In the same way, Kai Enke was not only trying to win people's hearts, but also letting the emperor promote a group of his confidants, which was also a good thing.

The key is that Zhao Huan is not the original Zhao Huan, nor is he as good-tempered as Song Renzong and Song Shenzong. Zhao Huan, who is used to being promiscuous, has no patience at all. Whose family is not being destroyed?

The most important thing is that the Song Dynasty itself had a lot of shortcomings, and now is not a good time to persuade people to teach farming and mulberry cultivation——

Let’s not mention whether Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang will go south immediately. Even if they don’t, it will not be easy for Zhao Huan to persuade farmers to teach mulberry trees, because the Song Dynasty itself did not have a perfect land system! No! Land system!

Let’s take the simplest example.

No matter which dynasty it is, if it does not continue to expand externally, then the land in the entire world will be countless. In the absence of war, the growth rate of the population will slowly exceed the rate of population extinction. As the national power increases, the land will

It is inevitable to embark on the road of annexation, which means that each fixed number of fields will be allocated one less. In the end, there will be no land to divide, and then the dynasty will collapse.

Therefore, how to allocate fields, inhibit mergers, and how to ensure taxes while ensuring that people can survive on the fields have become the most troublesome issues in all dynasties.

But what about the Song Dynasty?

The Song Dynasty basically didn’t care about this.

"History of the Song Dynasty" Volume 173 "Food and Goods. Farmland": "The person who wrote the letter said that the taxes and servitude were not evened out, and the land system was not established, because the land was restricted by the edict: no more than thirty hectares below the public minister... I also heard that there were five external tombs.

A few hectares. However, those who did the work eventually found it inconvenient to limit the land, and soon they were abandoned."

To put it simply, Song Renzong wanted to implement a land system at that time, but the officials in charge of this matter felt that it would be a big trouble. In addition, the land system was considered "non-Confucian treatment".

", so this matter is gone.

Then in the Song Dynasty, "the land system was not established" and "annexation was not suppressed." Anyway, the people who had no land to farm had to find their own way, either to rent the fields of the gentry, or to give up farming and become small handicraftsmen, or to work in the cities.

The gameplay seems to be very advanced, but under the overall environment at that time, this kind of gameplay is basically stupid——

The so-called pupai system is basically a tax package system. In theory, it does solve the tax problem. However, this method of letting the gentry take turns sitting in the village to pay taxes can only ensure that the court can collect taxes, but there is no way to ensure that the taxes are paid.

People can also survive.

It is precisely because of this that it has become a matter of course for the people of the Song Dynasty to rebel if they cannot survive.

If you don't rebel, you may not be able to survive. If you rebel, you may be recruited as an official. This kind of single-choice question with only one option is difficult for anyone to do wrong.

The final result was that there were three hundred years of Song Dynasty, and there were an average of two rebellions a year during the three hundred years. Except for Fang La, almost all the others ended up killing officials and rebelling but were recruited.

Therefore, Zhao Huan has never understood what the people of the Song Dynasty thought? What did the officials of the Song Dynasty, and even the emperors of the Song Dynasty, think?

Looking at the past dynasties, except for the Song Dynasty, in the remaining dynasties, as long as the people rebelled, the country would basically end in turmoil. Only in the Song Dynasty, both the emperor and officials, including the people, were following the rule of killing.

The process of officialdom - rebellion - recruitment - becoming an official - settling accounts after the fall.

In this case, why should Zhao Huan persuade people to teach farming? Those gentry who own a lot of land need Zhao Huan to persuade them? People who don’t even have land need Zhao Huan to persuade them?

Zhao Huan's balls hurt just thinking about it.

"Of course, I want to encourage farmers to teach farmers. However, I don't plan to do those vain things this year, and I don't plan to do anything like doing the work myself. After all, no matter how good it is,

, it’s not as reassuring as actually getting something in hand,”

Seeing that all the ministers in the court looked confused, Zhao Huan immediately threw a big thunder: "I plan to use internal funds to pay for the seeds for the people's spring farming this year, and I won't have to pay them back in the future."

"Officials think twice!"

Li Gang felt that he had said these four words a bit too much recently, but he had to say: "The official family loves the people, and the ministers naturally know it. If all the people in the world know about this, they will definitely be deeply grateful.

However, there are more than tens of millions of people in the world, and more than ten thousand stones are needed to grow food? I am afraid that the national treasury will be unable to support it, and the officials will fight against Bianjing first and then Taiyuan. I am afraid that the internal funds will be empty..."

"Li Qing, there is no need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind."

There was still a lot of money left over from the more than ten million that Zhao Jixiang left before. Now Zhao Jixiang ran back from Haozhou again, carrying a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in his hand. Zhao Huan didn't feel bad at all.

"This matter will be drafted by the Ministry of Menxia. After I use the seal, it will be made known to the world. The Imperial City Department will send someone to read it. The people must know my intention to encourage farmers to cultivate mulberry trees."

But it’s the matter of Enke. I’d like you to have a good discussion later and come up with a charter for me. If there’s no problem, I’ll open an additional Enke. However, I remembered something.”

Zhao Huan half-squinted his eyes and said: "It has been more than 160 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty by Emperor Taizu Gao. Although we have gone through many ups and downs, we can still say that the country is peaceful and the people are safe."

All the big guys in the court looked at each other and found that each other was a little confused.

It has been 166 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Although it has been fighting with the Liao Kingdom, and after finally defeating the Liao Kingdom, it began to fight against the Jin people, but without taking into account the peasant uprisings that occurred twice a year on average

Under the circumstances, the Song Dynasty was indeed as Zhao Huan said, the country was peaceful and the people were safe.

However, it is normal for such words to come from the mouth of a minister of the current dynasty, but it seems a bit self-proclaimed to come from the mouth of a current official, which may sound awkward.

Zhao Huan looked at the ministers, and after taking in the expressions of the ministers, he continued: "So, I just want to know, how many Dingkou does our Song Dynasty have? How many fields are there? How much is the upper field? How many middle fields are there?

Shimoda geometry?”

The picture shows up!

All the big shots in the court came to their senses immediately. Li Gang, Li Ruobing and others looked at each other, frowned and said nothing.

To put it bluntly, today's officials are planning to imitate Emperor Renzong and take action against the land system!

If I had known this, I might as well have agreed with the officials to lead troops to destroy Wan's place——

Is the land system so easy to start with? How many emperors in the Song Dynasty have fallen into this trap, how can the officials guarantee that he will not fall into it?
