The old man waved his hand and said with a smile:

"If you dare not be a counselor, let's just chat... You should all notice that I, the Great Zhou, are now at the forefront of the storm.

Snatch the slash and grudge. Everyone knows that the emperor was determined to reform. For my Great Zhou, this reform is naturally changing with each passing day, and the changes in the Great Zhou can be seen with the naked eye. You two are not the people of my Great Zhou. You have traveled thousands of miles to the Great Zhou. What you hear and think will be completely different from those of the Great Zhou. I just want to hear your views..."

When the old man said this, he paused, thought for a moment before speaking again:

"If you want to take the exam, you are naturally in order to be an official, and you want to be an official, so you must naturally be familiar with the national policy of the Great Zhou. Then you can talk about it. Today, when Zi vigorously develops industry and commerce, and opens the Maritime Bureau and the Courtyard.

Now I am trying to promote the reform of the local government yamen system and intend to set up the imperial court yamen to the township level. What do you two think about these? You can say the previous one..."

When Xu Hanlin and Bi Ziyan heard this, they both lowered their heads and thought about it carefully. After a long time, Xu Hanlin raised his head and clasped his fists to the old man:

"Sir, let me talk first..."

"But..." the old man nodded.

"Old sir, let's talk about it first. Your Majesty intends to reform the local government system.

In the eyes of Xiaosheng, Your Majesty's move is to acquire the power of local aristocratic clans, suppress the influence of these aristocratic clans in the local area, and consolidate the power of the central government.

The young actor thought that this reform was of far-reaching significance. Since the creation of the world and the country, there has been a vague saying that the court will not go to the countryside. In fact, it means that the court can only influence places above towns, and the countryside is the territory of aristocratic families and clan forces.

To put it bluntly, the places below this township are not the land of royal transformation, but the private territory of the aristocratic families. In the countryside, the emperor's imperial edict is not as good as the words of local gentry.

If His Majesty wants to limit the rights and influence of local aristocratic races, he naturally has to send officials to the lowest level and contact the people directly to dismantle the cages established by local aristocratic races. This is just one of them.

Secondly, Your Majesty had issued an order to recreate the Great Zhou Yu Scale Yellow Book. Xiaosheng thought it was also related to this, in order to further suppress local aristocratic races, weaken the influence of the aristocratic races, and allow all the people of the Great Zhou to be under the kingdom, rather than becoming private citizens of certain aristocratic races."

Xu Hanlin talked happily, organized and analyzed it well, which made the old man nodded repeatedly.

"Besides, Your Majesty vigorously develops industrial and commercial trade, and Xiaosen thinks this is a great strategy to enrich the country and the people.

All countries in the world now regard agriculture as the foundation of the country and regard merchants as lowly property. Even countries like Song State, which are famous for merchants, actually look down on merchants as well as evil, and avoid them.

All countries regard suppressing merchants and promoting agriculture as the fundamental method, and regard it as the principle of heaven, but young people do not agree. Do you think if there are no craftsmen in this world, they will be used for people's livelihood and daily use, cities to guard houses, weapons and armor, and tools for fishing and farming, from? If there are no merchants in the world, how can they communicate with each other and prosper the market? Therefore, the whole world says that agriculture is the foundation of the country, so why is this industry and commerce a member?”

"The fundamental purpose of developing industry and commerce is to drive people's livelihood. Only by using my own possession to supplement the non-existence, and by using his own possession to supplement the non-existence, can we enrich the people and strengthen the country."

"However, the development of industry and commerce also requires the court to strictly supervise and control it to prevent some evil people from making use of improper benefits, and follow the best, forcefully buy and sell, and raise prices...

Especially for the genus of salt and iron, we should also restrict it to prevent it from flowing into the barbarians in the north. There are many grasslands and forests in the north, and there is extremely lack of salt and iron. Ninety percent of the use is to buy or grab the southern countries. As long as the quota is limited, it will not be enough to be afraid."

Hearing this, the old man smiled and nodded, "

"You are right. This is also one of the main reasons why Your Majesty vigorously develops industrial and commercial trade. Of course, it is also to break the trade monopoly of aristocratic merchants and control the initiative in the hands of the court!"

"As for the salt and iron you mentioned, Your Majesty naturally attaches great importance to it. Otherwise, he would not have carried out drastic reforms to the salt administration. The salt produced by our dynasty can not only meet the needs of the people of the Zhou Dynasty, but also provide transactions in the northern part of Qiemo, Yan State, Hanhai, Heishui, Tule, Bohai, Rouran, Kero, Gaojiang, etc...."

Bi Ziyan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask, "Old sir, the Great Zhou Dynasty has abundant wealth and wealth, and there is nothing to lack. What can we exchange for with those barbarians when starting the trade in the North?"

The old man glanced at Bi Ziyan after hearing this and said with a smile:

日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日日本日日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日�

If they want to trade with the Great Zhou, my Great Zhou has only one condition, that is, they must use the money-making process of my Great Zhou..."

Xu Hanlin lowered his head and thought about the intention of the Great Zhou move. At this time, Bi Ziyan suddenly shouted loudly:

"I understand, sir, this is to make the countries in the north depend on the Great Zhou, which is a method of economic control. If these countries depend on the Great Zhou, it is equivalent to tied up the chariot of the Great Zhou!"

"Yes, Your Majesty is exactly this. In fact, there is another meaning, that is, if these barbarian countries are ungrateful and dare to have a different intention, and if we don't need our Great Zhou to send troops to attack, their country will be in chaos first. This is called a soldier who will defeat others without fighting..."

The candle shadow was faint and the atmosphere seemed to have solidified. The old man's words obviously shocked two young people who were a little arrogant.

The old man glanced at the two of them and sighed:

"You are still too young, and you still have some lack of knowledge and don't think about some things carefully.

Although the court is committed to reform, it has not been fully implemented yet. How difficult is the road ahead! I don’t know how many obstacles are blocking the front...

When he said this, the old man stopped talking, but looked at the two of them and said earnestly:

"Now the court is employed. You two are very talented and have many mountains and valleys in your heart. If you are in the exam and are loyal to national affairs, you will definitely be the assistant to the cabinet and the Guangyaomen in the future."

As he said that, the old man stood up and said to Xu Hanlin:

"You are not inferior to my Grand Zhou Pavilion, and you have a great view of the overall situation. You have a unique vision and can think of what ordinary people dare not think..."

At this moment, a man suddenly walked into the side hall and rushed to the old man and lowered his head and whispered in front of his ears. The old man's face suddenly faded, and his eyes flashed. It made Xu Hanlin and the others look like they fell into an ice cellar, and they were shivering all over, with a frightened expression on their faces.

The old man seemed to have not seen the expressions of the two of them, and murmured indifferently:

"Yelu Qi, do you really think I am a soft persimmon? You can pinch it whenever you want?

Hum! Don’t think I will be afraid of you, the million Liao troops..."

After a long time, the old man suddenly picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, looked at the two of them and smiled:

"I wish the two little brothers a bright future. I will congratulate this glass of wine in advance, hahaha..."

As he said that, the old man put down his wine glass and laughed away with the man, leaving only the two people who were still in a ignorance...
Chapter completed!
