Gao Huan decided to rescue Beihai, so he ordered the cabinet to come up with a plan to mobilize troops as soon as possible.

At this time, Gao Huan finished his order and talked about the issue in Hedong.

Although Gao Huan decided to reinforce and was preparing to teach the Japanese pirates a lesson, it did not mean that it would affect the general direction of unity.

As long as the conflict with the Japanese pirates is controlled to a certain scale and no full-scale war breaks out, Gao Huan will not be able to contain much energy.

"You all saw it when you came! The land of Hedong is dilapidated and the population is not one in ten. In fact, it is not just Hedong, but the people in the whole north are very declining." Gao Huan looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think about the restoration of Hedong?"

Zhou Yanru said first: "Your Majesty, I discussed it when I arrived. Now the cabinet mainly has two opinions."

Gao Huan asked: "What two opinions? Is the cabinet not unified?"

Li Yan said: "Report to Your Majesty, there is indeed no unity of opinions, so please make a decision."

Gao Huan appears to be ignorant of the government affairs, but in fact he heard some news and was not ignorant of the government affairs. On the contrary, he was very clear about the key issues.

This time, Gao Huan regained Hedong and obtained a large area of ​​land, which would naturally be coveted.

Among them, Li Yan meant to build a farm and take the land as much as possible in the hands of the court. Zhou Yanru suggested rewarding the land to soldiers and heroes.

"Then let's talk about their own plans!" Gao Huan said in a deep voice.

This time, Zhou Yanru did not rush to speak, and asked Li Yan to speak first.

"Your Majesty! It's mainly because the opinions of the minister and Zhou discuss politics are disagreeable. Now the north is sparsely populated, so I mean to use the method of a large farm to concentrate on using land. There are at least two benefits. The first is to improve efficiency, and the second is that the land is controlled in the hands of the court and can prevent later annexation."

Gao Huan nodded slightly. In fact, as long as you don’t eat big pot rice and adopt a certain incentive system, state-owned farms and collective farms are still very interesting.

Gao Huan knew that the various farms of the Construction Corps in later generations and some farms in the Northeast were doing very well.

At this time, Gao Huan had already made a decision in her heart, but in order to take care of her subordinates' emotions, Gao Huan still asked: "Where is Aiqing Zhou?"

Zhou Yanru smiled and said, "My advice is to reward the land to the soldiers and meritorious ministers, and let them recruit tenants for production on their own. This has at least two benefits. One is that the soldiers return to their hearts and their morale is high, and the other is that they can reduce the expenses of the court without investing a large amount of money to build a farm."

Gao Huan frowned slightly. Now he was actually a little worried about doing some internal problems.

Previously, in order to motivate the army, they rewarded large tracts of land, which made many Ganchao nobles become big landlords. Their land required a large number of tenants to rent, but they did not adopt the farm model and needed more tenants, which had a large manpower shortage.

Furthermore, the production methods of tenants are backward and the burden is heavy, and they can only make ends meet when they get something, and some of them cannot keep people.

The development of handicrafts and commerce in Jiangnan also requires a large number of people, and the population is sucked away by Jiangnan. Will this cause confrontation between the north and the south?

Gao Huan thinks this problem also needs to be considered to avoid this situation from happening.

"What Zhou Yizheng said makes sense!" Gao Huan first exclaimed, but just a smile appeared on Zhou Yanru's face, Gao Huan changed his tone, "However, Li Aiqing's suggestion is also very consistent with my wishes."

Zhou Yanru's expression froze, "Your Majesty! The soldiers follow Your Majesty to fight south and north. If Your Majesty does not reward you, it will probably hurt your morale."

Zhou Yanru's plan can be said to be to seek benefits for the army and court officials, and received support from a large number of ministers and honorary relatives. He did not expect that he would be rejected by Gao Huan again.

Moreover, dividing these lands can unite people's hearts, two, the government can reduce investment, three, after dividing these lands, the court can just wait for tax collection, which can be said to be worry-free.

Zhou Yanru didn't understand these three points, why Gao Huan didn't accept his plan in full.

"Why?" Zhou Yanru cried in his heart, wondering whether he should transform. "Isn't it suitable to be a straight minister or a capable minister?"

Gao Huan stroked his beard and said to Zhou Yanru and Taoism: "One of the important reasons for the rise and fall of dynasties over the years is land annexation. For thousands of years, we have repeatedly fallen on it, but have we learned lessons yet? What I mean is to distribute the right to rent these lands to meritorious officials, and suggest that they form collective farms to improve their efficiency and collect dividends every year. In addition, the additional land will be managed in the model of state-owned farms."

For thousands of years, land annexation was a problem that every dynasty had to face in the middle and late periods. Gao Huan was determined to solve this problem, so he gradually nationalized the land, and he was the largest landlord, and prohibited the people from trading land.

In this way, no matter how well the people are doing outside, they will have a few acres of land to cultivate when they return to the village so that they will not have no livelihoods. This is the last ballast for social stability.

If land is allowed to be traded, the people will lose their land and will not find a livelihood in the city. If they return to the village and have no land to plant, they will become refugees.

Of course, today's land is also an asset in addition to farming. It is an asset that people can exchange for money and overcome difficulties after encountering disasters.

If Gao Huan prohibits trading, it is necessary to further raise the living standards of the people, increase their income, and establish a relief and security system. Otherwise, when the people's family changes, they cannot sell the land for discount when they need a large sum of money, resulting in the inability to overcome the difficulties, and they will inevitably resent Gao Huan.

In this way, although Gao Huan's ideas are good, the policies he implemented may be a bad policy that the people cannot understand.

After hearing Gao Huan's words, Zhou Yanru did not dare to argue, but said, "Your Majesty has considered it carefully, but the soldiers only have the right to rent seeds and the land cannot be bought and sold, which may disappoint them!"

Li Jiyu of the Tang Dynasty distributed the land to the army, and Gao Huan gave the land to the army, but he did not allow them to trade and cash. The army felt that they had less, so they would naturally feel dissatisfied.

Gao Huan had actually thought of this a long time ago, so he said in a deep voice: "This requires the court to run the farm well. The soldiers rent the fields out, and the tenants have to barely make a living in a year, and the soldiers can't get much rent. If the farmers run the farm well, the employees' income will increase, and the soldiers' annual dividends will be more than the income from renting the fields out of the fields. They do not have to manage the fields themselves or send people to collect the rent themselves. They will naturally support my decision."

Zhou Yanru and Taoism: "If this is the case, the court will be under great pressure."

Gao Huan glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "So I need a member of the governor who is capable of doing practical things and capable of managing Hedong well. Can anyone recommend it to the cabinet?"

The few people looked at each other and immediately realized that this was a challenge and an opportunity.

Gao Hongtu said: "Your Majesty, I recommend Xia Wanchun. When the imperial court restored eastern Henan, he selected a group of young officials to serve as county magistrates. Xia Wanchun's political achievements rank first."

Zhou Yanru also recommended: "Your Majesty, I recommend Yang Wencong! Hedong is close to the front line, and it still needs an old minister to manage it."

Gao Huan listened to the suggestions of the two and stroked his beards, but was not very satisfied.

Xia Wanchun is good at abilities, but she is too young. It is not a good thing to be a governor so quickly.

As for Yang Wencong, his administrative ability is a bit poor. After all, the responsibility of governing is to govern one party.

Gao Huan suddenly said, "Why no one recommends Sun Kewang?"

"Sun Kewang?" Zhou Yanru and others didn't speak.

Li Yan said: "Your Majesty, Sun Kewang's ability is indeed good, but after all, he surrendered to the Western Army, and the Western Kingdom has not been destroyed, so everyone is not very relieved of him."

Gao Huan waved his hand when he heard the words, "The governor must not interfere in military affairs. I will not doubt people, but I will not doubt people. This is how it is! Let Sun Kewang serve as the governor of Hedong, and Yang Wencong serve as the governor of Hedong. As for Xia Wanchun, he is young and should not be promoted too quickly, so he will continue to stay in the central government!"
