Appoint me as a spy, but the contact person is actually the empress

Chapter 3 Xu Shouyun's unique opinion, the empress was stunned

What is changing rice to mulberry?
As a history teacher, Xu Shouyun is very aware of this matter.

One mu of land can earn two taels of silver a year.

If one mu of land is used to plant mulberry trees, it can make a profit of ten taels of silver.

The imperial court urged the government and the people to cooperate, and the officials guided everyone to plant mulberry fields, and then helped the people sell them to the countries of the Western Regions to earn silver.

Is this a good thing?

It must be a great thing, at least it looks like a great thing on the bright side.

It can not only solve the financial problems of the imperial court, but also lead the local people to become rich.

But the problem is, this thing can't be done at all.

Unless three conditions are met.

The heyday of the dynasty.

Absolute centralization.

The emperor's iron blood method.

Indispensable.

"What do you mean by that?"

Jiang Ling's voice sounded, and his eyes were full of curiosity. Changing rice into mulberry is a great thing, but Xu Shouyun thinks it will lead to the accelerated demise of the country.

"My lord, changing rice to mulberry is a dead end. If the Great Wei Dynasty implements this policy, it will perish within five years."

Xu Shouyun cupped his hands and said.

"Dead end? Change rice to mulberry, turn a grain field into mulberry field, and sell the mulberry silk produced in the Western Regions, and the profit per mu of land has more than five times."

"How is this a dead end?"

Jiang Ling said, this matter was almost unanimously approved by the cabinet. It is impossible that the cabinet ministers are all mediocre?
Seeing Jiang Ling being so serious, Xu Shouyun laughed.

"My lord, come here a little bit, let's talk secretly."

After all, it is in the palace right now, and it is late at night, if the imperial army finds out, it is not a trivial matter, so be cautious.

"It's okay, I have already sent the forbidden army to patrol other places, you can just say it."

"But I have to explain something. If you are just talking nonsense, don't blame me for reporting to Emperor Chu."

Jiang Ling also had a bit of a temper. She knew that Xu Shouyun was an enemy spy, but she couldn't stand up to the other's slander.

First, it was said that Great Wei had subjugated the country in 20 years, and then it was said that it is not good for a woman to be emperor. Now Great Wei finally has a policy that benefits the country and the people.

He also regarded it as a disaster to destroy the country.

How could Jiang Ling endure this?
Seeing that the other party was getting serious, Xu Shouyun didn't dare to show his dissoluteness anymore. He put away his expression and said seriously.

"My lord, changing rice to mulberry seems to be a good thing, but it is not a good thing at all for today's Great Wei."

"However, I have three questions, please answer them."

Xu Shouyun looked serious.

"You ask."

Jiang Ling was also curious about what Xu Shouyun could say.

"First, is the change of rice to mulberry supported by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, or is it controversial?"

This is the first question.

"Any policy will naturally be controversial. It is normal to have disputes about such a big thing as changing rice to mulberry."

The empress made a sound, she was not being stubborn, but the fact.

"Secondly, is the conversion of rice to mulberry implemented in fertile land?"

Xu Shouyun continued to ask.

Following Xu Shouyun's question, Jiang Ling fell silent, because Xu Shouyun guessed right.

Planting mulberry silk naturally requires fertile land, and the land of fertile land is bound to be rich.

"Yes."

Jiang Ling nodded.

"Then the third point, is it the land of two rivers?"

This is Xu Shouyun's third question.

When this question was raised, Jiang Ling's expression changed instantly.

The Ministry of Household Affairs gave three places for the implementation of changing rice to mulberry, and these three places are all lands from two rivers, not only that, but also rich lands.

She didn't expect Xu Shouyun to guess this step.

After all, I just mentioned changing rice into mulberry.

"No, it is very likely that the news has been leaked, and it is normal for the Chu Dynasty to tell him."

Jiang Ling thought to himself, but nodded on the bright side, pretending to be calm.

Knowing these three answers, Xu Shouyun became more confident.

"Then there's no problem, my lord. If the Wei Dynasty really dares to promote the transformation of rice into mulberry, it may be exaggerated to destroy the country in five years, but it will reach its peak in seven or eight years."

Xu Shouyun was full of confidence.

"Tell me why."

Jiang Ling looked seriously and asked the other party.

"Returning to my lord, three reasons can make changing rice into mulberry a failure."

"First, the officials are at odds."

"Second, the people resisted."

"Third, profit from it."

Xu Shouyun gave three fatal reasons. As long as there are these three reasons, it is impossible to change rice to mulberry.

"Officials are at odds? This matter is under the personal supervision of the Great Wei Empress. Even if there is a disagreement, who would dare to stop it?"

Jiang Ling spoke, she also understood this, but so what?Who would dare to make a mistake if he personally supervised it?

"My lord, you are thinking too much. There is a saying that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and they don't need to make a big fuss to stop it."

"These officials are backed by noble gentry from all over the country. They just need to mobilize the power of the local gentry to tell the people that planting mulberry fields will lead to nothing, and there will be no food for the next year."

"Just like that, the officials who implement the policy are helpless."

Xu Shouyun spoke up.

"Is it true that the people don't believe the policy notice issued by the imperial court?"

Jiang Ling frowned slightly, and had to say, she was very beautiful.

"My lord, to put it bluntly, the national treasury is not empty every day, right? There are definitely a lot of officials from all over the country who search for people's fat and people's anointing."

"The credit of the imperial court has long been used up by these corrupt officials, not to mention how much prestige is left in the imperial court?"

"Even if there is some credit, so what? Is this enough people?"

"For example, just grab a commoner and ask him if the court is in trouble, and you have 100 million taels of silver, would you like to donate it? He promises to say donate."

"If you ask him if he would like to donate a cow, he will immediately shake his head, because he really has a cow."

"People don't kill the world for themselves. For the court, it is a good thing to change rice into mulberry, which can make money. But for most people, who will be responsible for the next year's food if they don't farm?"

"So if the upper-level officials disagree, this matter will never be implemented."

Xu Shouyun's analysis was logical.

Jiang Ling listened very carefully.

"What about the people's resistance?"

Jiang Ling asked.

"My lord, didn't you just say that? People care about themselves. The people don't have any great ideals of worrying about the country and the people. The only thing they think about is whether they will have food tomorrow."

"Changing rice to mulberry makes them feel insecure and it is difficult to implement it."

Xu Shouyun explained.

"Then what's the point of profiting from it?"

Jiang Ling is not a mediocre person, what Xu Shouyun said makes sense, she will listen carefully and think carefully.

She naturally knows that officials are disharmony and people are resisting, but she just doesn't understand what it means to profit from it.

"My lord, the matter of changing rice to mulberry has not yet been delegated, but you know it all. Did the important officials in the court know it too?"

"To put it bluntly, these courtiers are now waiting for the Great Wei Empress to confirm the pilot of the new policy."

"Once it is confirmed, before the decree is issued, the local gentry family will buy a large amount of fertile land for profit."

"This is the point that will lead to the early destruction of the Wei Dynasty."

When Xu Shouyun mentioned this, his eyes were very serious, which made Jiang Ling full of curiosity.

"Why?"

Jiang Ling continued to ask.

"Businessmen seek profits, conspire with officials, and use a series of means to lower land prices, complete land mergers, and eat human blood."

"The method is nothing more than plundering, or self-destruction of the dam, allowing the good land to be destroyed, regardless of the life and death of the people."

"In this way, I dare to ask my lord, will it cause a civil uprising?"

Xu Shouyun's words were decisive.

Let Jiang Ling freeze on the spot.

In her mind, the picture of the embankment breaking thousands of miles has appeared. Under the flood of the two rivers, how many people's wives and children were separated, and their families were destroyed?
At that time, there will be a civil uprising.

"My lord, once there is a civil uprising, no matter what the reason is for these people, the imperial court takes up arms, they are traitors, and they will all be slaughtered."

"In this way, it's okay to suppress it, but the people are full of resentment, and they are even more disappointed with the court, which breeds treason."

"If it can't be suppressed, and people from all over the country rise up, the Great Wei Dynasty should have vassal kings, right? These vassal kings followed the trend, responded to the call, and seized the throne with just any reason."

"If this kind of thing really happens, Emperor Chu can definitely send 50 troops. Even if it swallows up the entire Great Wei, occupying a quarter or a third of it is still a breeze."

"Under the ebb and flow of each other, dare to ask my lord, to die or not to die?"

Xu Shouyun talked more and more vigorously, and when he said this, his whole body had an intracranial orgasm.

After all, the task assigned by the system is to destroy the Great Wei and make him invincible.

How can you not be happy?
Of course, there is nothing he can do about the ups and downs and the suffering of the people. After all, he is not in charge of his own family, so there is no way to stop it.

It's impossible to go to the emperor to talk, right?
If he really wanted to find the emperor, he would be beheaded as an assassin. Xu Shouyun thought he wasn't very smart, but his brain was fine.

It's just that Xu Shouyun didn't notice.

under the moonlight.

Jiang Ling is a little demented
