Shandong An is Gyeonggi An.

How could the emperor and civil and military ministers not know about such simple words?But knowing it is one thing, dealing with it is another.Civil and military officials did not take action on the Shandong issue entirely because of the standpoint of scholars, out of interest and face; but the emperor was different. The emperor had long wanted to take action on Shandong, but the time was not ripe.

Therefore, when Miaoyu summoned his officials to discuss Shandong affairs, the emperor called Miaoyu into the palace.

Of course, it is impossible for the emperor to be so idle, waiting for Miaoyu to ask questions.When Miaoyu entered the palace, she had to kowtow to the Supreme Emperor, Supreme Empress and Empress as usual before she could talk to the emperor.

As usual, it was in the queen's palace, and as usual, the queen was by her side, but this time there was a young prince listening in. The emperor asked Miaoyu like this:

"Duanhui, I heard that you should ask the officials in charge of policy in Shandong."

"Yes, father."

"Can I get something?"

"Disaster."

The emperor looked up at Miaoyu, but didn't speak, only the servants around him felt that the emperor's breath was wrong, and became more respectful.

I don't want Miaoyu to continue: "If you do it directly, I'm afraid it won't work. My son thinks that we should first strip off the dependence on the land."

The emperor was dumbfounded at the time, he thought he had heard wrong.

"You, what did you say?"

"Returning to my father, Shandong has a lot of land and a large population. However, the land is concentrated among the wealthy families headed by Yanshenggong Mansion, so that most of the people in Shandong have been reduced to grassroots bandits. This is the origin of Shandong thieves. If you attack directly, I am afraid The gain outweighs the loss. We can only take it slowly, first solve the problem of the lack of money for the people in Shandong, and then solve the problem of land concentration by powerful hands..."

"What are you going to do?"

The emperor simply interrupted Miaoyu's words.

"First, build more workshops so that the people have a way to live. Second, secretly spend money to redeem the land to ensure that the land in the hands of the imperial court grows every year."

"Duanhui, let alone the first one, do you know how difficult the second one is?"

"Of course I know. Because the local tyrants are well-informed and have a lot of money in their hands, I want to suggest that the emperor build a special government office to handle this matter. And use the land added every year as political achievements."

"You, do you know what you're talking about?"

Once such a decree is pushed, hundreds of officials will definitely oppose it.

However, the emperor himself knew that most dynasties that had lasted for more than a hundred years would change their dynasties. In fact, it was directly related to the amount of land in the hands of the dynasties.The land actually controlled by the dynasty has dropped to a certain level, and the national tax revenue can no longer be counted on. Once the country fails to collect taxes, let alone the salaries of officials, even the operation of yamen at all levels cannot pay money, and the country is not far away from subjugation. Far.

"My son knows."

"Then what do you think is the chance of success?"

"At present, within 20 years, I am afraid that it will be less than [-]%."

"What about 20 years from now?"

"It can reach 50% in [-] years."

"50 years..."

The emperor sighed.

If he had 50 years left, he would have done it without hesitation.But now, how can he have 50 years!

but!

The emperor also knew that the country had ruled the world for a hundred years, and the situation of land annexation across the country was already very serious. Even he himself didn't know if he had the courage to do so, let alone the kings behind.

Things must be done, but how to do it is a big problem, and the most important thing right now is that this policy cannot be abolished after a hundred years.

The emperor knew well what it meant to have this policy abolished, and that would be all the more terrifying if it had never been implemented.

For a moment, the emperor regretted it.

The crown prince is too young. Even with the queen around, he is not old enough to support him. After a hundred years, the crown prince can effectively continue to implement this decree.Because this matter is related to the interests of the civil official group, and the eloquence of civil officials is easy for one or two, if they are all added up, I am afraid that the spittle stars in the world will not be able to match.

How the world is alive is just a slogan for the emperors of all dynasties to protect the imperial power, and few people really care about it, let alone cross the imperial power.

Even the emperor himself knew very well that he made such a decision just to protect his family's world, and he was not even as confident as the Supreme Emperor.

But, can you not do it?

If you don't do it now, there may not be problems in 50 years, but if you do it now, you will lose the throne immediately?

The emperor thought for a while, and finally said: "Duanhui, you have always been smart. If there are many, I won't talk about it. You, you can do it yourself."

The implication is to turn a blind eye and let Miaoyu do things.

Of course, the queen has to teach the prince in detail, this is something for another time.

Although she didn't get the emperor's support, Miaoyu had to comfort herself: it's good that the emperor didn't directly object. On land?

Yes, land is the foundation of a country, and no country can exist without land. This is the absolute truth.However, when a society and a civilization have developed to the point where they are today, the existing land operation methods no longer meet the needs, and what Miaoyu has to do is to wade out a way in the dark.

The first thing Miaoyu did when she left the palace was to give orders to the officials of the princess mansion: add farms and expand workshops.Among them, the types of work in the workshop need to be subdivided again.

As soon as this order was issued, the subordinate officials were immediately dissatisfied:

"Your Highness, do you know that more than half of the workshop is full of children, and each of them has to work for nearly six hours a day!"

All the subordinate officials immediately went to see the master book surnamed Cheng.

You know, in the eyes of the world, Miaoyu's willingness to hire these beggars is a great kindness. It not only gave these children a living, but also gave them the opportunity to read and write.Although it can't be exported as a chapter, it will be no problem to find a job like an accountant in the future.

Generally speaking, when the light is slightly bright in the morning, these child laborers will get up and prepare to hay, and it is almost ten o'clock after hay harvesting, and then they eat breakfast, which usually consists of an egg, a deep-fried stick, a bowl of porridge and a small dish of pickles.After eating, go to school. After lunch, these child laborers will go to work in their respective workshops. When night falls, the workshop will provide a bean cake or sweet potato cake after a day's work.

In this era, most of the self-cultivating farmers are still living two meals a day and go to bed hungry at night, but these waifs eat three meals a day, and there is meat at noon every day.Although the meat doesn't look like much, just a few pieces, but there is oil and water!

Therefore, before that, the folks could only praise Miaoyu.

Today, Master Cheng is No.1.

The author has something to say: half a chapter.

The second half of the chapter will be posted by next Monday.
