If we don’t grow food, what will we eat?

Emperor Yongxi also asked the same question.

"Originally, Zhejiang's grain production was much lower than that of other provinces. It used to be that we had to purchase grain from other provinces every year. This year, it's just the same as before. It's just that we need to adjust more grain than in previous years."

After hearing this, Emperor Yongxi also knew that Zhejiang's output was not much, so he asked another more important question: "Grain purchased from other provinces will inevitably be more expensive than grain produced in this province. I am afraid that the mulberry farmers will be dissatisfied because of this, and they will

how?"

Xu Guo, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, was silent for a moment, and then bowed and said: "The profit per acre produced by mulberry trees is much higher than that of grain. I think the mulberry farmers may not know the favor of the court for a while. After making profits in the future,

I’m afraid I will also know the court’s good intentions.”

This time, Xu Guo took the lead in this matter. Of course, this was also the decision of the entire New Party, and it was only after the leaders of the New Party nodded in agreement!

So Shangguan Yi and others were naturally silent at this time. Emperor Yongxi had never planted land, let alone Emperor Yongxi, even Jia Jing had never planted land! How could he know the twists and turns involved?

Shangguan Yi and others know it, not only Shangguan Yi, but also almost all the big bosses who came up from the bottom know!

Including Lin Ruhai,,,

"Since ancient times, when the imperial court was short of money, there were only two ways to do it, one was to get it from businessmen, the other was to get it from the common people!"

"There is not much money to be squeezed out of the businessmen. Ning Hou traveled to Jiangnan and squeezed out all the bottom lines that the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan could accept. You, Ming Gong, have served as the salt censor of Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers for many years, so you should be clear about this.

!”

"Then naturally we can only attack the people. How can we attack the people? Of course we can only increase taxes, but you should also understand the harm! This trick should not be implemented easily unless it is a last resort!"

"This naturally only enriches and strengthens the people. According to Xu Zidong, after Zhejiang changes from rice to mulberry, it can produce more than 10 million taels of silk a year, and can weave 200,000 pieces of silk. One piece of high-quality silk can be produced in the mainland.

It can be sold for six taels of silver, but when sold to Western countries, it can be sold for more than ten taels of silver. Zhejiang Province alone can increase its income by several million taels of silver a year!"

"Looking at it this way, it seems that converting rice into mulberry is a good idea, but you should know clearly, Ming Gong, that the New Party people are just messing around!"

"Three years of policy, one year of implementation, the policy will come out of Shenjing, nine changes in one day! Who can bear this? Such slow implementation may not be a good policy, but it will be implemented throughout the province. Today's policy will be implemented tomorrow, and the rice seedlings will be promoted tomorrow.

Throw it away! It’s already July, and the rice seedlings are about to reach waist height! Throw it away at this time, and let the people suffer from the northwest wind!"

"It's simply ridiculous! Oh, you are talking about the suffering of the people, and he will bear the blame. What a fucking fart! People are really starving to death, and the red thing is his official robe! But how many people died?

?Can Xu Zidong bear this kind of sin?"

Jia Jing was sitting at the back of the palace, drinking tea leisurely. When she heard this, she held the tea to her lips. After a long time, she took a slow sip...

There was a long silence in the hall. After a while, Lin Ruhai's helpless voice came: "Uncle, don't get excited. Sit down and talk slowly."

Tan Jing's chest was heaving violently. Hearing this, he could only sit on the seat next to Lin Ruhai, tilting his head and getting angry.

When Lin Ruhai saw this, he said helplessly: "I know what you mean, and you should also understand Master Xu and their difficulties."

When Tan Jing heard the words, he looked at Lin Ruhai with wide eyes, but Lin Ruhai said seriously: "Don't talk yet, listen to me."

After talking about the scriptures and hearing the words, Lin Ruhai just stopped talking. Lin Ruhai sighed helplessly: "The New Deal is mainly about a new peace and change. If it is too slow, it will be bad."

Tan Jing looked at Lin Ruhai with some disbelief, and Lin Ruhai said helplessly: "If the whole court is united and implements the new policy, it may not be necessary to take it slow, but... alas!"
