Han Dao world

Chapter 1081
Accepting the plan of the Jiangnan family rationally, Liu Xie is still uneasy.

After much deliberation, he added an item.

The Jiangnan aristocratic family will lend the grain harvested this year to the imperial court, and the imperial court will repay them with the land rent they should pay every year until it is paid off.

Part of the borrowed grain was sent to Yizhou as the army ration of Hussar General Zhang Ji, and part of it was distributed to the poor local people as grain for winter and seeds for next spring.

In addition to giving them land, they must also be given enough supplies to live until next year's autumn harvest. Otherwise, those people who have no food and clothing and have to flee into the mountains will not be able to survive outside the mountains, but may starve to death.

Considering that it is for the people in the south of the Yangtze River, I hope they can be more proactive.

Also, the interest will be waived.

After receiving the reply from Situ Mansion, Liu Xian also couldn't laugh or cry.

In order to resume production and appease the common people, the imperial court implemented a low land rent of [-] taxes.To repay the grain loaned out this year, at least thirty or fifty years, maybe even hundreds of years.

But he dared not accept such a condition.

Otherwise, not only the hussar general Zhang Ji, but also tens of thousands of refugees would come.

Liu Xian spent some time talking, and finally persuaded the representatives of the aristocratic families to accept the conditions of the emperor.

The four counties in the south of the Yangtze River announced the completion of land, and related work was gradually rolled out.

When receiving Liu Xian's reply, Empress Fushou gave birth to a son, weighing fifteen catties a tael, with a strong body and a loud cry.

According to the female doctor who delivered the baby, the child knew from the first glance that he was congenitally perfect, and that he would surely have a happy life in the future.

The smooth birth of the emperor's son solved an unresolved problem.

The queen's status is unshakable, and no one else should covet it.

This also means that in the foreseeable future, the possibility of a powerful foreign relative appearing is infinitely close to zero.Whether it is the Xun family in Yingchuan, the Ma family in Hanyang, or the Lu family in Wuyuan, no matter how powerful they are in the army, they cannot become generals who can influence the government.

It can even be said that the position of general is destined to be vacant for a long time, and it may even never exist again.

With the disappearance of eunuchs in the system, foreign relatives may also disappear, and scholar-bureaucrats will become the only main force in the court.

Yang Biao, Zhao Wen and other veterans were delighted, but even Jia Xu, the Taiwei who stayed in Chang'an, couldn't restrain his joy when he received the news, and wrote to the emperor, requesting to go to Wanyang court.

Liu Xie agreed.

At the same time, he sent an edict to Sikong Zhouzhong, who was staying in Jizhou, to rush to Wancheng to participate in the New Year's Day Dynasty.

Lantai and related agencies also rushed to Nanyang to meet up.

-

Handan, Congtai.

Zhou Zhong stood with his hands behind his back, looking to the north where the sky and the earth meet, with a trace of dignity on his thin face.

Zhuge Liang arched his hands and stood aside with a calm expression.

Zhou Zhong was ordered to go to Nanyang, passing through Handan, but he didn't see anyone.When he was parting, he called Zhuge Liang to the stage, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Zhuge Liang didn't speak, just waited quietly.

He knew that Zhou Zhong must have something to say, but he didn't know how to say it.

But he didn't think there was anything too hard to say.Now the situation is very good, and the emperor is in a good mood, he can't think of anything that can make Zhou Zhong so entangled.

"Kong Ming, do you know that Situ Mansion has an extra Zhang Song?" Zhou Zhong turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liangliang nodded.He kept in touch with the emperor, so he naturally knew Zhang Song's outstanding performance.

"If there is no accident, the next Situ will be Xun Yu. There are not many people who can compete with him, that is, Liu Ba. But after Xun Yu and Liu Ba, there will be many people who have the opportunity to be Situ. You are the smartest , but she is also the youngest, so she may suffer a bit.”

Zhuge Liang laughed silently. "Duke Zhou is far-sighted, I didn't expect to go so far."

Zhou Zhong glanced at Zhuge Liang, a little displeased. "Kong Ming, this is not only your personal matter, but also a major national event. You can't play games. Do you think I am seeking personal gain? Yes, you are recommended by me, but this is by no means the whole story. Whether Situ Li Minzheng is competent or not depends on The well-being of tens of millions of people is also related to the fate of the country for decades. I hope you can be a Situ, take charge of the country, assist His Majesty, and build a peaceful and prosperous world."

Zhuge Liang thought for a while. "Duke Zhou, whether I can be Situ or not, your wish will definitely come true."

Zhou Zhong frowned slightly. "How did you see that?"

"The emperor is the king of a country." Zhuge Liang said softly: "He has the ambition to achieve peace in the world. Even without Yang Dezu, without me, he will find someone else. But if he changes his mind because of some things, let alone us, he is considered a saint Rebirth, I am afraid that peace will not be achieved."

"What kind of things are you talking about?" Zhou Zhong narrowed his eyes.

Zhuge Liang smiled, but did not answer.He turned his head to the west, looked over Taihang Mountain, and looked at a few white clouds in the distant sky. "Dare to ask Duke Zhou, what is the most ideal governance of Confucianism?"

Zhou Zhong blurted out. "The Son of Heaven governs with his bow, and the ministers educate the people with virtue."

"Like Bohai?"

Zhou Zhong frowned again, and said unwillingly, "Bohai... isn't it good?"

"I can't say that Bohai Sea is not good, I can only say that Bohai Sea is not good enough, at least there is still a long way to go." Zhuge Liang turned his head, his eyes clear. "As far as Bohai is concerned, the Son of Heaven has already bowed down. Why can't we realize the kingly way? Ask yourself, this is the way to get along with the monarch and his ministers."

Zhou Zhong pursed his lips and nodded slightly.

He understood what Zhuge Liang meant.

The emperor is sincere, and they should also open their hearts and stop sticking to their previous ideas, otherwise it will be difficult for the monarch and his ministers to get along for a long time.

"Duke Zhou must have important issues to discuss when he enters the court. If Duke Zhou can firmly believe in the sincerity of the emperor and face each other calmly, even if there are any differences, they can be discussed and resolved. Thirty years later, peace will come, and the prosperous age will be remembered by future generations. Today, there must be names of sages."

Zhou Zhong smiled and stroked his beard.

He had thought of this.

The emperor has always paid no attention to etiquette. This time he suddenly summoned the ministers to invite the court. Naturally, there is an important matter to discuss.When it comes to the birth of the emperor's son, it can't help but make people feel excited.

There is a high probability that a prince will be established.

Although the emperor is still young and has just lost his crown, it is still a big event to establish a prince.

The only thing that is disturbing is that the young emperor establishes a prince, which often does not have good results in history.

So he didn't know if the emperor wanted to make the emperor's son the crown prince, whether he should support it or oppose it.

But Zhuge Liang reminded him.No matter what it is, as long as the monarch and ministers trust each other and out of public interest, they can be placed in the open, and there is no need to intrigue.

Maybe you can also find an opportunity to talk to the emperor about who will be the Situ after Xun Yu.

After all, in the eyes of the emperor, Zhuge Liang is the well-deserved number one candidate, and he was trained by the emperor himself.

Yang Xiu was born in the Hongnong Yang family, so the emperor had to be afraid.Although Zhang Song came from a small and medium family, he described it as ugly and without the appearance of a minister.To be honest, his chances might not be as great as yours.
