Chapter 735: The Best of Both Worlds Relying on Technology
This guy from Wuzhong definitely has the potential to be a treacherous minister. When facing unfavorable news, the first thing that comes to mind is to suppress it.
"The common people often say that they can be a wife and hide it from each other. It seems that you are a qualified wife!" Liu Chun said meaningfully. He didn't know what to say when he got Wu Zhong. It should be a compliment, but why did it sound so strange? Are you saying that I am good or not?
Xie Jin glared at him, "What a fool, I still can't understand it? I can't send blood letters from tens of thousands of people at this time, so I must not be an ordinary person. They are demonstrating to the court. How could you suppress it if you want?"
Wu Zhong was startled and didn't care about Xie Jin's verbal offense, and hurriedly said, "Then, what should I do?"
"Investigate! As soon as you investigate it to the end!" Xie Jin sneered: "Now we are still handling the Ming Cult case. Let's put these people together with the Ming Cult, impeach them to collude with the Ming Cult, and incite the people to rebel."
Gudu!
Wu Zhong was so scared that he swallowed and spitted, "Master Jie, aren't you afraid of breaking the gods?"
Xie Jin said: "I have no choice. How can I successfully carry out shipping if I don't do this? Also, if you send all these people to Dongfan Island, a variety of sugarcane can also increase your income, your Majesty will agree. As long as the young and strong are moved away, the remaining elderly, weak, sick and disabled will be insignificant. Even if you want to rebel, you can't raise the banner?"
Xie Jin talked freely, and it was obvious that he could not only be a treacherous but also an iron-blooded prime minister. The key was that he was so kind. But he also knew that this was not something he could do just by wanting to do.
He turned to Liu Chun and smiled treacherously: "The Duke of the State is here, I can only ask you for help in this matter. I am also dedicated to the country and can be seen at the light of day."
"snort!"
Liu Chun replied only one word, but this simple word fully demonstrated the disdain and contempt of Duke Fu Guo. Who is Liu Chun? How could he be with you treacherous? He took big steps and left the two people far away.
Wu Zhong and Xie Jin, look at me, let me see you, what does this mean?
"I'm talking about bachelor's degree, you're too much. Can the Duke of the Assistant State not see such an obvious way to get rid of the blame?"
Xie Jin glared at him viciously, "Shut up, I want you to take the blame, you must have that ability!"
These two guys followed Liu Chun and came to meet the saint.
Daoyan sat on a chair with a backrest, lowered his old eyes and remained silent. Zhu Di gave Liu Chun a chair. As for Xie Jin and Wu Zhong, there was only Xiu Dun. But this was already very good, and they both thanked each other for their gratitude.
Zhu Di went straight to the point, "Mr. Yao just introduced me to the situation along the canal, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Yanzhou... many places that were prosperous in the past are now in decline and neglected. Although the Ming Cult Rebellion has a great impact, Angelica Rebirth is still the reason for changing the canal to sea transportation. This matter involves the livelihood of hundreds of people. I dare not take it lightly. I call you here just to ask your opinion."
Zhu Di swept over one by one, and Daoyan had already made it clear, so naturally there was nothing to say, while Liu Chun was meditating and silent. In fact, there was nothing to say.
In history, there is a saying that one can benefit one and two.
What does it mean?
Yangzhou is the most prosperous and prosperous in the world. After Emperor Yang of Sui built the canal, it was the intersection of the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River, and it also had both salt benefits. Yangzhou is indeed a prosperous and prosperous metropolis.
He has a hundred thousand strings of money and rides a crane to Yangzhou.
In this paradise-like city, there is no millions of property, so don’t say that you are rich.
Although after the Song and Yuan dynasties, marine trade was developed and Jiangnan rose rapidly, it still could not conceal the prosperity of Yangzhou.
But the question is why Yangzhou, which is so glorious in history, has no sense of existence in later generations? Apart from some tourism resources, there seems to be no more things to be produced, such as education, culture, enterprises, and technology... It seems that Yangzhou has become an ordinary city overnight.
What is the reason?
In fact, there is nothing complicated. It is like after the voyage, the original Mediterranean commercial center was transferred to the Atlantic Ocean. After the rise of maritime transportation, the canal transportation declined.
Huai'an, which was once very prosperous, has even become a poor area in the province, which is incomparable to the scenery of the past.
Looking at history, such declining cities are not uncommon, such as Xi'an, Luoyang, and Kaifeng... These ancient capitals were once the most prosperous cities in the world, but as natural conditions deteriorate, the economic centers migrate and lose their former status.
This is a normal rule.
But for the people in it, it is too cruel.
Especially for the Grand Canal, the imperial court ordered that the dense ships disappeared almost overnight, the source of tourists disappeared, and business disappeared.
From heaven to hell, what comes is so rapid that it doesn't even give people time to think about adapting.
Liu Chun did not think that the blood letters of tens of thousands of people were true, or there must be someone behind the scenes. After all, Daoyan was sent immediately as soon as he entered Beijing. How exquisite is the grasp of time? It is impossible for ordinary people to do it.
But Liu Chun was sure that the gentry was not behind the letter this time. It was very simple. The power of these people had been almost destroyed. At least in Shandong, the gentry's power was almost gone.
Since it is not them, it should be those businessmen.
The merchants began to find ways to influence the decisions of the court. Liu Chun didn't know whether to be happy or angry? Since he hadn't figured it out, let's take a look at the fun for the time being.
"Your Majesty, I think that reforming the law requires the determination of a hero to cut off his arm's arm. It is natural that the grain transportation is overwhelmed and the change of sea transportation is to change. If some people are obstructed, they will hesitate. In order to maintain the grain transportation, the court still has to invest huge expenses, which is really overwhelming."
As soon as Xie Jin opened his mouth, he started with expenses. It was obvious that he was right in his mind. Zhu Di listened very seriously, which also inspired Xie Jin.
"Your Majesty, shipping does not require labor. On the contrary, shipping requires more labor. As long as you give the people a little time, they will still find a way out. As the saying goes, if you are poor, change, and if you change, you will be unlimited. Therefore, I think that as long as you capture those ambitions, things can be solved naturally. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry."
As soon as Xie Jin finished speaking, Daoyan opened his eyes and sneered slightly.
"Is it really a great argument? Xie Jin, I asked you, is the same workers needed by the canal transport as the sea transport? How can millions of people along the canal transport be moved to the beach to live?"
"Sir, I said, what I want is labor, not family."
"What should the family do? Leave it alone?" Daoyan's triangular eyes shone coldly, full of lethality. Xie Jin was staring very uncomfortable, his face turned red, and he could only say: "Mr. Yao, since ancient times, there is no way to be a soldier. It is good to have both worlds, but I am sorry for my lack of knowledge, so there is really no better way."
Daoyan pondered and said, "Since I haven't thought it through clearly, don't move around casually. The huge court has a lot of involvement in all aspects. If you are not careful, chaos will occur. This time, the rebellion of the Ming Cult is a clear proof. I am in Yingtian and I don't know the situation, but I think it's better not to be impatient and rash."
When Daoyan said this, he also swept Liu Chun. It was obvious that he was talking to Liu Chun for help. After all, Xie Jin had not put it in his eyes.
The atmosphere in the entire hall was very strange. Xie Jin was scolded by Daoyan like his grandson and did not dare to retaliate. Wu Zhong was even more useless.
Zhu Di's face was gloomy at this moment, and he was obviously weighing the gains and losses.
The benefits of changing the canal transport to sea transport are visible, but the abolition of the canal transport would bring such a big impact, which was unexpected by Zhu Di.
What should I do?
Everyone's eyes unconsciously fell on Liu Chun.
"This... Your Majesty has gains and losses, and it has always been the case since ancient times. For ordinary people, as long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, they can be done. However, for a court, regardless of the advantages and disadvantages, it is too much to make a decision, and it is reasonable to make a decision."
Zhu Di snorted: "I don't want to listen to these nonsense. I'm asking you now, is there a way to have the best of both worlds?"
"This... I don't have it either, regardless of my opinion that I can find it."
Zhu Di said: "What are you planning to find?"
"Then we need to focus on our thoughts, not just me."
Zhu Di snorted vigorously, "Okay, you all retreat first, think about it carefully, I also have to think about the pros and cons, and then discuss it when I go to court in the future."
Zhu Di shook his sleeves and left, and the remaining few people had to leave. Daoyan exclaimed, "I am old and I can't hold on, so I can't hold on, so I can only go back and rest first."
He left, Xie Jin and Wu Zhong came to Liu Chun, and Xie Jin was talking a lot.
"Duke Fu, why didn't you hold on just now?"
Wu Zhong also said: "Yes, as long as the Duke of the Suiguo can withstand it, the two of us can refute the old thief. Can we still suffer a loss when we beat one of our three?"
Liu Chun snorted slightly, "You two should think clearly. This is a national event, not a fight between each other. What we need now is a solution to the problem. If you can't solve the problem, you will solve the person who raised the problem. What's the use of it?"
Liu Chun scolded the two of them and left and returned home.
When he arrived at the mansion, he felt a hustle and bustle as soon as he entered the door.
It is completely different from the tit-for-tat in the palace. It is very lifelike and very warm.
"Disciple, please pay homage to Master."
The tall Zhu Gaoxu respectfully bowed to Liu Chun. Liu Chun saw the scar on his forehead at a glance. It was not big, but it was very deep.
"Oh, I've been asking you to pay attention, why don't you be careful?"
He was blamed as soon as he met, and Zhu Gaoxu said indifferently: "Master, a little injury is nothing. None of us has ever been injured. This is still light for disciples!"
Liu Chun glared at him and said angrily: "Don't take safety seriously. I'm now forced into the corner by the old thief, just waiting for your breakthrough! Otherwise, how can this pool of stagnant water have the best of both worlds?"
Zhu Gaoxu immediately laughed, "Master, I have brought that treasure, but I have temporarily placed it in the Tianjin warehouse."
Liu Chun's eyes shone, "It turns out that hard work pays off. How about it, does it work?"
"I didn't say anything, I'm sure that those rusty buns will blow their chins!"
