"Father, Persia and Rome, thousands of miles away, shook hands and made peace, but the biggest beneficiary was the dynasty. The trade agreement signed by the Nansi this time was enough for domestic owners to be busy for several years, and the new situation was opened."

"Silk, tea, porcelain, textiles, knitwear, paper, soap, and various handicrafts and industrial products. Both countries want everything, just like a starving ghost reincarnation."

"Take on this spring breeze, domestic workshops, and plantations can be safely expanded, increased production capacity, hired more workers, and thus benefit more people."

"Then implement a dual-price strategy. For the same products, the foreign trade price is higher than the domestic sales price. In this way, foreign trade is used to make profits and domestic sales are used to benefit ordinary people, just like the simplest knitted socks."

In the study, Yuwen Wen talked with his sons and talked about new foreign trade trends. Prince Yuwen Weicheng was very excited, believing that this long-distance sea trade that he could not imagine before brought unprecedented opportunities to Zhou State.

The Yan King Yuwen Weihan and Chu King Yuwen Weigan also deeply agreed.

King Yuwen Weihan of Yan is now the Minister of Shangshu, while King Yuwen Weigan of Chu is in the position of Guangnan Protectorate to Beijing to report his duties. He only arrived in Chang'an the day before yesterday and would return to office after the winter. Therefore, Yuwen Wen took advantage of his son's return and quickly gave a "current affairs explanation."

Yuwen Wen affirmed the prince's feelings, but then changed the subject: "To promote Hai Trade for your father and persuade industry and commerce does not mean that you should focus on business and neglect agriculture, because this is unrealistic. Even if the development situation of industry and mining in the current sea trade and industry and mining industry is very good, the court cannot take it lightly. Why?"

When Yuwen Weicheng saw his father looking at him, he replied:

"Because the country is based on people and the people are based on food. The rapid development of industry, business and mining means that the population is more and more full-time (without agricultural production). If the supply of grain is not enough, the rapidly developing industry, business and mining will just be dew and will sooner or later disappear."

Yuwen Wen nodded: "Yes, Erlang is right, what is Dalang's addition?"

Yuwen Weihan replied: "Father, if you blindly open up wasteland and grow grain, you will treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Because the food supply is sufficient and the world is peaceful, the speed of people giving birth to children will also accelerate."

"In another three or forty years, it is likely that the population growth rate will exceed the rate of grain production increase. The contradiction of large population and small land will arise. Therefore, we must find a way now to increase efforts to develop Liaodong, Hetao, Nanzhong, Guangnan, and Jiaozhou to accommodate the additional population in the Central Plains."

"Dalang is right, what do you need to add to Silang?"

Yuwen Weigan replied: "Father, Australia will develop sooner or later. Didn't the exploration team find that the climate in eastern Australia is suitable and can also be opened for land and farming? In the future, more people can settle down in Australia."

After Yuwen Weigan finished speaking, he thought about it and added: "Maybe there will be America in the future?"

Yuwen Wen nodded and was very satisfied with his sons' answers: "Yes, look farther and don't always stare at the Central Plains, the world is so big and there are so many good places, why should you occupy all the savages?"

"There are many good places overseas, with fertile land and pleasant climate, but the wild people don't know how to develop it. They are like beggars begging with golden rice bowls. Why should the hard-working people in the Central Plains squeeze in their hometown and not have enough food for two meals a day?"

"As the ruler, don't always think about building a temple in a snail shell. You should take a long-term vision. If the land in China is not enough, then expand outward and find a new home for the people of the Central Plains."

"The court prepared the Jinghu area for Henan and Jingxiang people, Liaodong for Hebei people, Shuoji Guanzhong people prepared the Hetao area and grassland for the people of Shuoji, and Nanzhong for the people of Shuo."

"We have prepared Guangnan East Road, Guangnan West Road, and Jiaozhou, a large granary for the people of the two lakes!"

"Jiaozhou's climate is humid and hot, the land is fertile, and the water network is erect, so it can easily achieve two ripening rice a year, and the yield per mu is still high. As long as the imperial court continues to immigrate and develops Jiaozhou, its exported grain can fully support the grain demand in the southern and central and southeastern coastal areas."

"As for Australia and America, that's for the future. Even if it can't be developed now, it will have to take over the land first."

"Food is the most important thing for the people, which is the fundamental national policy of the court. Therefore, over the years, we have used foreign troops not to show off our power, but to obtain more fertile land to grow food and resettle the remaining population."

"Only when the food supply is sufficient, the country can develop normally. The industry, business, and mining industry that flourishes are just beautiful feathers. If there is no food security, what's the use? If you vigorously develop the industry, commercial and mining industry just to make money, it's going to waste the money."

"The imperial court engaged in maritime trade and traded with countries thousands of miles away in order to drive industrial development through maritime trade and thus create more jobs, rather than for the false reputation of the nations coming to the court."

"The primary purpose of the court is to find ways to develop industries such as industry, commerce, and mining is to absorb the surplus labor force that has no land to plant, so that most people can have the opportunity to support themselves by labor. As long as the people can survive, they will not rebel. This is the most important thing, and we must remember it."

Yuwen Wen looked at his growing son and said with relief: "Your vision has been relaxed, but you still have to remember that 'food is the most important thing for people'. This principle is simple to say, but it is not so easy to do."

"If you want to increase grain production and income, it is necessary to open up land and farmland, and you also have to build water conservancy, so iron tools must be popularized. Therefore, the government cannot ban iron to prevent the people from rebelling."

"In order to encourage the people to open up land, preferential policies for reducing rent and commission adjustments are required. Since the policy has been decided, it cannot be changed easily. The government must be confident."

"Credit is important. It is difficult to establish credit, but it is easy to destroy it."

"Only by establishing credit can the court effectively mobilize the people to open up land and mobilize the people to immigrate to Liaodong, Jiaozhou, Guangnan, Nanzhong, Hetao and other places. These places such as Jiaozhou will no longer be set as exiled by the court. After all, it is too unpleasant."

"To develop these areas, we must use real benefits to guide the people of the Central Plains to immigrate."

"What are the real benefits? Reduce rent and exemption of mediocre men's dishes, provide free iron farm tools, seeds, and various daily necessities, including mosquito repellent coils, etc.."

"Australia uses exiles to develop, send all domestic criminals and beggars to Australia. After giving basic guarantees, life cannot continue, it depends on whether they work hard."

"This is something that takes several generations to complete. You cannot be impatient, you cannot help grow, and you cannot be eager for quick success or instant benefits."

Yuwen Wen encouraged his sons. While speaking, the eunuch brought some snacks and seasoning plates and placed them in front of the emperor and the princes.

A faint spicy smell spread from the seasoning plates. Yuwen Weigan looked closely and saw that the seasoning plate was filled with soy sauce and some red powder.

"Everyone smells spicy? This is an amazing hot sauce, very spicy." Yuwen Wen smiled and looked at his sons: "Taste carefully."

"Spicy? Father, is this hot sauce really spicy?" Yuwen Weigan, who claimed to be extremely spicy, asked, picked up a piece of cucumber with chopsticks, dipped it directly into a large piece of hot sauce, and then put it in his mouth. Yuwen Wen wanted to remind him again, it was too late.

When the cucumber was in the mouth, Yuwen Weigan felt that his mouth and throat were on fire, and the "burning fire" was approaching his throat, irritating the root of his tongue.

Every time I breathe, my throat becomes so hot.

He subconsciously picked up a bowl of iced sour plum juice and poured it into his mouth, trying to "extinguish the fire", but the fire did not weaken, but spread to his ears, as if his whole mouth was burning, and the spicy feeling was reaching his head, even forcing tears out.
