Seeing that He Xianzu and Sun Jiagan's words became more intense, Liao Huanzhi could not sit still. The dispute in front of the king was really not done by a minister and was rude. Liao Huanzhi couldn't help but cough, which made the two of them notice that the occasion they were in was not in the Military Affairs Office, but in the imperial court.

When they came to their senses, the two hurriedly apologized to Zhu Yicheng and claimed to be guilty. Zhu Yicheng didn't care. It was not a bad thing for the ministers to argue for state affairs. If the ministers below, especially the ministers of military affairs, acted as voice-overs, Zhu Yicheng would be unhappy. As the emperor, although Zhu Yicheng was arrogant and had the Jinyiwei and the General Office to monitor the inside and outside, after all, it was far from enough to rely solely on these things in the world. The ministers below argued for state affairs, which would make him more aware of all aspects of government affairs so as to make the most appropriate decisions.

Waving his hand and letting the two sit back, Zhu Yicheng turned his eyes to the last person, Zeng Yishu, who had not yet expressed his opinion after entering the palace.

"Zeng Qing, tell me."

Zeng Yishu stood up, gave a tribute first, and started talking without being arrogant or humble. When he first heard what he said, Zhu Yicheng was a little disappointed because Zeng Yishu's initial argument was somewhat similar to Liao Huanzhi. First of all, he said that both agriculture and industry and commerce are extremely important, and both are indispensable.

This made Zhu Yicheng think that Zeng Yishu was planning to be like Liao Huanzhi, but as Zeng Yishu continued to talk about it, Zhu Yicheng's eyes gradually lit up, and he could hear some differences from it.

Zeng Yishu did not talk about Guangzhou, but instead brought out the entire Ming Dynasty to talk about it. He explained in detail the production, annual income, farmland ratio, grain prices and the living conditions of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, etc. As he told, not only Zhu Yicheng, but also Liao Huanzhi and the other three present were a little surprised. They couldn't help but turn their attention to Zeng Yishu who was talking.

Using actual data to analyze these situations, Zeng Yishu broke them apart and said it layer by layer, and what was presented to everyone was almost a clear picture of the people's livelihood in the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, he expressed his joy about the rapid development of industry and commerce, the rise in national fiscal revenue year by year, and the economic leap among the people, but also showed concerns about some places that did not pay attention to agriculture because they considered the economy.

"Emperor, my lords? My Ming Dynasty is vast and rich in resources? But the water, land and culture are different everywhere. The so-called oranges grow in the south of Huai, which are oranges grow in the south of Huai, which are tangerines grow in the north of Huai. I think the same is true for many things. My Ming Dynasty revived in the south of Jiangnan. The Jiangnan area has always been a place of important financial resources in various dynasties, but in the south of Jiangnan, there are many mountains in Fujian and Zhejiang, but they are not a place for grain production. In addition, these places are facing the sea? Therefore, they are well-busy? The people have a business atmosphere, and they also have the habit of raising silkworms, which has also made the reputation of Jiangnan silk. In addition, the mountains are not convenient for farming? But it is convenient for tea trees to grow? More than half of the good tea in the world comes from their two provinces, which shows that."

Speaking of this, Zeng Yishu paused and looked up at Zhu Yicheng. Zhu Yicheng's expression was very calm? It seemed to encourage him to continue talking.

Zeng Yishu continued: "There is a way that there is no farming, no labor, no wealth, no business, no business. The three are balanced, and none of them are indispensable. But this matter also needs to be based on reality. Don't force it to be rejected. I think that the court needs to grasp its balance to be justified. As for the matter of Guangzhou? I spent some time to understand. At present, not only Guangzhou is the only place in other places? There are indeed some situations of destroying land and changing planting in other places? But it has not had much impact yet? It is only that local grain prices have risen due to the destruction of land. However, the amount of grain imported from abroad in the Ming Dynasty is huge every year, so it can be seen that it is no problem to keep the local stable. However, if people do not have long-term considerations, there will be immediate worries. Dong Ming's concerns are not unreasonable. After all, it is not the right way to export grain overseas. Once there is a change in overseas or something happens in the local area, far water cannot save the near thirst, or there may be trouble."

"Mr. Zeng means supporting industry and commerce, or opposing local destruction of land?" Hearing this, Sun Jiagan couldn't help but ask. Compared to He Xianzu, Sun Jiagan has a tough personality, and he came from local officials, so he particularly valued people's livelihood issues.

This is also the difference between He Xianzu, and now Zeng Yishu has made such a big statement, but he still has not made a clear statement, which makes him unable to sit still.

"Mr. Sun, I feel that there is no real difference between right and wrong in this matter." Zeng Yishu replied with a smile.

Seeing that Sun Jiagan was about to distinguish, Zeng Yishu continued: "I said before the second chapter that balance of the three is the right way, and none of them is missing! Just focusing on agriculture and ignoring industry and commerce, Master Sun knew that all dynasties did this, but what was the world in the end? I think Zeng didn't need to explain it any more. Now my Ming Dynasty is far superior to previous dynasties, and the age is unprecedented. Why is this? It's not because of industry and commerce? Furthermore, it is not appropriate to develop agriculture in a place that is not suitable for agriculture, but Zeng also thought that destroying agriculture and changing seeds in a place that is suitable for agriculture is also a waste."

Zeng Yishu's words made Sun Jiagan fall into deep thought. Even Liao Huanzhi and He Xianzu also focused on their minds and nodded in their hearts.

Zeng Yishu bowed deeply to Zhu Yicheng and said, "I suggest that the Military Affairs Office and various departments make demands on the provinces and localities in the world, calculate their agricultural production, and come up with a plan for governance. No matter what, the people will destroy the fields without authorization, and this trend cannot be long. Some necessary restrictions are still needed, and at least the stability of local food should be ensured. In addition, I would like to ask the emperor to choose some places to set up Taicang to provide immediate needs. At the same time, when necessary, we can also use this to stabilize grain prices and stabilize the local area."

Hearing this, Zhu Yicheng finally smiled. Zeng Yishu's considerations were very comprehensive, and what he proposed was carefully considered. It seems that Zeng Yishu had his own ideas about this matter before, but he had not said it before.

No matter what he planned in his heart, today I asked him about the first prize, which is undeniable. However, what Zeng Yishu mentioned is only the general direction, how to implement it and how to proceed, it still requires a lot of work.
