Han Dao world

Although the prime minister and Situ are both governing the people, there is a big difference.

The prime minister is truly under one person and above ten thousand people.The Taiwei who is in charge of military power is nominally tied with the prime minister, but in fact he is slightly inferior, and can only compete with the doctor Yushi who is called the deputy prime minister.

When the prime minister system was implemented in the early Han Dynasty, the transfer from Taiwei to prime minister was a promotion, and the official to prime minister was the real official.

Even a martial artist like Dong Zhuo knows this, so when he has the ambition to usurp the throne, he becomes the prime minister.

Xiangguo was the original prime minister.In Qin Dynasty, it was called Xiangbang. In Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the taboo of Han Gaozu Liu Bang, it was renamed Xiangguo, and later it was renamed Prime Minister.

Emperor Guangwu continued the Situ system in the last years of Xijing, and did not set up a prime minister, just to restrain the power of the prime minister and strengthen the imperial power.

Xun Wenqian, who is well aware of Liu Xie's emphasis on military power, certainly would not naively believe that Liu Xie restored the system in the early Han Dynasty and let Xun Yu be prime minister, but it can be seen that Liu Xie has high expectations for Xun Yu, no less than Yang Biao and his son .

This attitude alone was enough to make her heart elated.

If the emperor did not have enough trust in her, it would be impossible to make such a statement.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me." Liu Xie stroked Xun Wenqian's smooth shoulders. "Your father is old enough, has deep habits, and regards himself as a party member. It is not easy to change the course. Just like an old knife, it will not be sharp if it is not re-smelted. You must be patient, but you must not take it lightly. , When it’s time to remind, we still have to remind him, and we can’t let him get into a dead end.”

Xun Wenqian smiled and said: "How could a concubine have this ability, please ask your majesty to give advice. Although he is stubborn, he still admires your majesty, especially in the past two years, the governance experience in Hedong and Henan is enough to prove that your majesty is lofty Dissatisfied."

"Smart words and sycophants are not benevolent." Liu Xie made a joke by pointing at the tip of Xun Wenqian's nose.

"The concubine is just telling the truth." Xun Wenqian wrinkled her nose.

Early the next morning, Xun Wenqian rushed to the courtyard next door to have breakfast with her parents.

She conveyed Liu Xie's meaning to Xun Yu.

Although she didn't say that Liu Xie hoped that Xun Yu could become the emperor's hand, she made it clear that the emperor hopes that you can study the history of Severus carefully, compare it with Dong Zhuo, and draw lessons from it.

If necessary, you can stay in Wancheng for a few more days.

Xun Yu understood.

The emperor did not object to his research on Severus, but asked him to go deeper and not superficially, which shows that the emperor also has some feelings for this person's deeds.They may have differences in details, but they are consistent in the concept of learning from history.

From another perspective, although the emperor was dissatisfied with his previous answer, he did not give up on him because of this, and had high hopes for him.

This was no doubt a consolation to him.

Seeing a smile on Xun Yu's face that had been clouded for a few days, Tang also heaved a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xun Wenqian persuaded Xun Yu that although reading is very important, field trips are also indispensable.It is rare for you to come to Nanyang, and it coincides with the New Year. Going to see the prosperous scene of Wancheng together can increase the fireworks in the world that cannot be seen on paper, and may make you feel more deeply.

As she said that, she ordered someone to fetch some money, and gave some of it to her mother, and kept some of it for today's shopping expenses.

Most of the year-end rewards given by the queen yesterday were here, and she only kept a third.

Xun Yu was quite surprised to learn that the year-end reward alone was worth [-] yuan.He knew that this year's situation was good, and the temples of various prefectures not only paid out the full salary, but also rewards, but as the manager of a weaving workshop, Xun Wenqian was able to get a reward of [-] at the end of the year, which still surprised him.

After careful questioning, I learned that Xun Wenqian was able to get so many rewards not because of her status as a nobleman, but because the weaving workshop is very profitable. Even the most ordinary workers have a salary of five or six thousand yuan a month, and Xun Yu is even more so. tongue.

Surprised, Xun Yu was also a little worried.

The workshop earns money like this, which will inevitably lead to more labor force leaving the land and entering the workshop.

In this way, it is inevitable that some land will be abandoned. How can food be guaranteed?

After hearing this, Xun Wenqian couldn't help laughing and said, "You and the emperor really want to go together. But the emperor has a way to solve it, can you have a solution? It won't be another way of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, right?"

Being teased face-to-face by his daughter made Xun Yu somewhat displeased.

"The imperial government has its own rules and regulations. How can you say that? If you don't emphasize agriculture and suppress business, what better way can you have? Besides, if you emphasize agriculture and suppress business, is it just for the sake of food? It is difficult for merchants to travel the world. Control is the type of people who are most likely to cause chaos, and the market is a place where filth is hidden, treacherous gangs, relying on financial resources, trafficking princes, interfering in government affairs..."

Xun Wenqian raised her hand to beg for mercy. "Ah Weng, I was wrong, I shouldn't be overreaching and arguing with you about these important matters."

Xun Yu consciously lost his composure and waved his hand. "I don't mean that. I just want to tell you that the reason why the emphasizing on agriculture and suppressing commerce has been implemented for so long has its own reasons. Even if you want to adjust it, you can't do it lightly. You said just now that the emperor has a way to solve it?"

Xun Wenqian then told Liu Xie that she wanted her to contact Shi Tao and others.

Liu Xie’s solution to the problem of food security is very straightforward: promote agronomy, develop related technologies, increase food production, reduce labor intensity, so that the same people can cultivate more land and produce more food, instead of restricting labor to the land superior.

The ultimate goal is to allow more people to leave the land and engage in more valuable affairs.

Agriculture is fundamental, but only agriculture cannot develop, and industry and commerce can generate higher value.Only by vigorously developing industry and commerce can the people be rich, the country be strong, and the Chinese civilization not be oppressed or even destroyed by the barbarians.

It’s not scary to have a problem, just find a way to solve it, it’s scary not to dare to face up to the problem.

Xun Yu was very dissatisfied with Xun Wenqian's frivolous words, but when he saw the huge sum of money in front of him, he felt that he lacked confidence.As Henan Yin, he is in charge of a county, and his hard work is by no means comparable to that of a weaving workshop.But the year-end reward he can get is less than half of that of Xun Wenqian, let alone the officials of Henan Yinfu.

An ordinary official is not as good as an ordinary worker in a weaving workshop.

Henan Yin's tax revenue last year was not as good as the Zhifang's tax revenue last year.

This is the gap between agriculture and industry and commerce.Tai Shigong said a long time ago that seeking wealth through poverty, agriculture is not as good as work, and work is not as good as business, which is still the most reasonable.

Therefore, it is not feasible to retreat, and the emperor's method is preferable.

Use the power of technology to improve the level of agriculture and ensure the supply of food with more labor.

And this kind of technology is not only useful for those with more than enough registered permanent residence, but also more useful for Henan with insufficient registered permanent residence.

"Can saltpeter increase food production?"

"The Son of Heaven said that there is a possibility. After all, saltpeter is extracted from human and animal feces. It may be the essence of fertilizer..."

Xun Mata frowned and cried out. "Sister, I'm eating, can you stop mentioning such disgusting things?"

"What's disgusting?" Xun Yu couldn't help but cursed with a smile. "Every grain you eat is..."

"I won't eat!" Xun Yu threw down his chopsticks, covered his ears, and prepared to flee.

Xun Wenqian got up and pulled Xun Mata over. "Okay, okay, I'll take you to the best bakery in Wancheng, and treat you to real Hubing."
