Mohist Tang

In the Tai Chi Hall.

Li Shimin, who had just walked out of the pain of losing his father, did not put too much thought on the Imperial Court, but now he was alarmed by a strategy by Mohist Family Son.

“As for Mo Dun’s proposal of Jiangnan development, everyone can discuss it!” Li Shimin said loudly.

Suddenly, the faces of the ministers were wonderful and different. Most of the officials in the north were from the Five surnames Seven Clans faction. Naturally, they knew that the purpose of Mohist Family Sons proposal for the Jiangnan development was to break the Five surnames Seven Clans. Encircle and suppress, break the game for the Mohist Family.

And the officials in the south are excited. Until now, the southern sky has superior conditions, but the development is lagging behind. As a result, the southern officials have little power in the Imperial Court. Mohist Family Son proposed to develop Jiangnan. It is the wish of the officials in the south of the Yangtze River. Once the South rises, their status in the Imperial court must be as the tide rises, the boat floats.

“reporting to Your Majesty, Marquis of Mo is here. Jiangnan has always been known as the land of fish and rice. However, the population is small and a lot of wasteland has not been reclaimed. If the Imperial Court strongly supports it, take the opportunity to promote Johor Rice, just as Marquis of Mo said, within ten years, Jiangnan wealth will definitely double.” Feng Zhidai said loudly.

Feng Zhidai is at odds with Mohist Family Son, but the Jiangnan development proposed by Mohist Family Son is greatly beneficial to Jiangnan. As the representative of the Jiangnan Aristocratic Family, Feng Family must speak up for Jiangnan. It also involves one’s own interests. Once Johor Rice has made meritorious service, Feng Family will also make a great contribution.

“Yes, I will wait for the Su Lake and the two lakes to be flat, and there will be large tracts of fertile land after a little reclaiming. If we cooperate with the extensive cultivation of Johor rice, it will definitely make the world abundant.” A southern official said.

“However, apart from this, many hills in the south of the Yangtze River can be developed into terraces. Once the south of the Yangtze River is developed, the southern arable land will not be inferior to that of the Central Plains, and the yield will be higher.”

“The pond ridge planting mulberry, mulberry leaves raising silkworms, silkworm chrysalis feeding fish, pond mud fat mulberry, mulberry-based fish pond model to promote Jiangnan, what a grand scene.

One by one Jiangnan officials spoke freely, and they were moved by the beautiful idea of Jiangnan development.

Li Shimin couldnt help but turn his attention to the Minister of Agriculture Su Lingnong, Su Lingnong immediately got up and said: “Reporting back to Your Majesty, Johor rice was successfully tested in the two lakes, and some areas of the two lakes can reach three crops a year. “

“Good! “Li Shimin immediately eyes shined, saying that if Johor rice is only successfully planted in Lingnan, it does not mean much. However, if the trial planting is successful in the two lakes, does it mean that high-yield rice can be grown in the south of the Yangtze River? Li Shimin couldnt help but be moved by the benefits.

“From this small official, the promotion of Johor rice is one of them. Building brick roads is also a top priority. Marquis of Mo proposed three verticals. The five horizontal maps are now all built in the north, but there are very few in the south. If you want to get rich, build roads first. The rainy roads in the south are muddy. If the brick roads are not smooth, no amount of wealth will be transported to Chang’an City. . “There are also radical southern officials directly citing Mo Duns previous assumptions and openly benefiting the South.

“Of course, Yazhou is the best example. Since Yazhou built brick roads, Yazhous Gongju fever Selling Ch_ng’n Luoyang, the land of the south of the Yangtze River is rich in fruits. If brick roads can be built and the agricultural school of thought’s transplantation and cultivation techniques can be assisted, within three to five years, normally expensive fruits will surely become ordinary people’s daily food. “Su Lingnong said.

Once Jiangnan develops, it must be the time when the Agricultural School of Thought is booming, so he is naturally eager to speak.

“This matter is not a negligence of the Ministry of Works. There are many rivers to the south of the Yangtze River, and the bridges need to be repaired alone. The difficulty of building brick roads has doubled. In addition, brick roads are continuously laid. Today, the southernmost brick roads are just laid to the three towns of Hankou and then to the south. The road is still under planning. “Ministry of Works Assistant Minister Zhang Liang shirks the way for the Ministry of Works.

“When will we have to figure out when the brick road on the Longhai Line is now unblocked, it is imperative to build a brick road with unblocked north and south. Good for the country and the people. “Feng Zhidai said boldly.

Once the brick road is built south to Lingnan, he will return to Lingnan and rush up to half a month, which is more than the original itinerary, and everyone knows to build a road through Great Tang. The advantages of the north-south brick road, however, are mostly northern officials in the Imperial Court. The brick roads in the north have been branched in large numbers, connecting economic towns one by one, and the effect is quite remarkable, while the construction of roads in the south has almost stagnated. The proposal immediately detonated the faint north-south contradiction in the Imperial Court.

“The roads in the south are too heavy, and there are too many bridges and the engineering projects are too large. “

“It’s ridiculous, not to mention the construction of the Wei River Great Bridge, just the size of the Qujiang Beam Bridge, so that the south of the Yangtze River can flow smoothly. “

“The cost of a Qujiang Beam Bridge is tens of thousands. How many rivers there are in the south of the Yangtze River and how many bridges need to be erected, I am afraid that the entire State Treasury will not be enough to fill in. “

Suddenly the North and South officials quarreled together, constantly fighting for their own interests.

For Jiangnan officials, as long as the Imperial Court agrees to the great development of Jiangnan, and then according to the method of building Mohist Family Son, the rise of Jiangnan can be expected.

For northern officials, especially Five surnames Seven Clans, Once Jiangnan rises, it will directly threaten the status of Five surnames Seven Clans, and the consequences will be more serious than Mohist Family Son. Naturally, it is impossible to make the South get what it wants and suppress and delay the rise of Jiangnan as much as possible.

After all, Jiangnan officials are weak. Facing many people, southern officials quickly lost in this dispute.

“The ministers and others beg Your Majesty to make a decision. “The Jiangnan officials were still unwilling and were content to turn to Li Shimin for help.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and looked towards Dai Zhou on the side. Unfortunately, Dai Zhou shook the head. Everyone knew about Mohist. Family Sons plan has many benefits, but everyone also knows that the most fatal shortcoming of all Mohist Family Sons plans is the cost. If the Imperial Court really supports the Jiangnan development, the money spent is astronomical. Ministry of People can’t afford it.

Li Shimin couldn’t help but sighed, and said with relief: “The Jiangnan development is too much involved, and this matter needs to be considered for a long time. “

Although he is quite enthusiastic about the Jiangnan development, Great Tang’s center of gravity is still in the Central Plains after all, and the amount of money spent on the Jiangnan development is astronomical, even if he thinks about it. I cant help but slap my tongue.

“However, if you want to be rich, it is indeed the most reasonable saying to build a road first. Mr. Minister Zhang, the brick road connecting the north and the south is imperative. The Ministry of Works must build it as soon as possible. . “Li Shimin’s words turned.

“Yes! “Ministry of Works High Official Zhang Liang brace oneself said that the repair of the brick road between the north and the south has already been placed on the desk of the Ministry of Works. He has dragged on for so long and can no longer hold it. Now he can only push the boat along the river.

The numerous officials in Jiangnan could not help but feel sad. Li Shimin’s meaning is very obvious. Nowadays, I am afraid that there is no money to implement the Jiangnan development. He is only responsible for repairing brick roads. The rest will depend on the people in Jiangnan to support themselves. If not The strong support of the Imperial Court, I am afraid that Jiangnans own strength alone is far away from the Central Plains.

Many people couldnt help but turn their eyes to the old man in front of the numerous officials. This person is Jiangnan. The leader of numerous officials, Duke of Song Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu is listed in Lingyan Pavilion and has a high position. If he is willing to admonish Jiangnan, he can certainly seek more benefits for Jiangnan.

p>

“Many thanks Your Majesty on behalf of Jiangnan people! “

To the surprise of numerous officials, Xiao Yu did not fight for Jiangnans interests, but took the initiative to accept this result.

A group of northern officials could not help but relax, they knew that although for the time being He saved his own interests, but he offended Jiangnans Aristocratic Family to death.

“A plot, this must be the plot of Mohist Family Son. “Five surnames Seven Clans official gnashing teeth said.

Mohist Family Son throws out the Jiangnan development, everyone knows what he means, if Five surnames Seven Clans actively cooperate with the Jiangnan development, it would be no less Cultivate an enemy for yourself. If Five surnames Seven Clans prevents the development of Jiangnan, then Jiangnan Aristocratic Family will be pushed to the side of Mohist Family Son. In any case, Mohist Family Son will not suffer.
