"Without these old friends, there would be no me, Zhao Xingde."

Zhao Xingde's face was full of reminiscence, and his voice was light, but he was firm.

Gao Su and Liu Zhijian looked at each other and sighed at the same time. They had known Zhao Xingde's feelings for Guandong for a long time. Although they could understand it, they did not want him to be blinded by this feeling and even commit the things that would be regretful. Although the five palaces value talents, once they conflicted with the interests of the country, they would never show mercy. The more they paid attention to it, the more determined the methods were. Di Qing was a famous general at that time. There were many people in the Guguo Mansion and the General's Mansion who admired and respected him. However, every time when Song State sent envoys to ask for people, most of the people in the Guguo Mansion and the General's Mansion refused to allow it, and Di Qing was not allowed to return to Guandong until his death.

"Luoyang redeem land and all households are registered," Gao Su pondered, "It's not bad now."

"If you think about the people of Kanto, the soldiers will probably have a better life to manage the Yinhu family than now."

"But this may not be a long-term solution." Zhao Xingde shook his head and said, "In a small place in Luoyang, there is a prince in charge, and the talent of Lord Yuan and the prime minister come to manage it, so he is calm. In the huge place in Guandong, there are many household registrations, gentry and gentry are mixed, and it will not take many years to be poor in literature and wealthy in martial arts. The powerful are still powerful, but it is just a few people." He looked at Liu Zhijian and Gao Su's unbelieving expressions and signaled that they would sit down without having to take the etiquette of subordinates.

"I forcibly implement the system of soldiers, but I am afraid that oranges will grow in the south of Huai, and tangerines will grow in the north of Huai."

Zhao Xingde poured himself a cup of tea. He was silent for a while, and the white mist rose from the tea and sorted out his thoughts a little. Gao and Liu were Zhao Xingde's subordinates and friends. Zhao Xingde had never intended to hide his ideas from them, but they both avoided them, and Zhao Xingde was busy dealing with military affairs and had no suitable opportunity to talk about it.

"The suffering of the people of Kanto is in large populations and small lands, and the annexation is serious. Corrupt officials have only contributed to this momentum."

"The more people there are, the less land there is, the less land there is, the more expensive the land there is. The landlords can naturally choose and choose, and even 70% or 80% of the grain will be rented. On the contrary, if the land is large and sparse, the manpower is expensive and the landlords will be low, and the landlords will have to ask the tenants to rent the land, and the rent will not be too high. However, although there is no shortage of land in the northern border, the rivers and the Ross, there is a mixture of Hu and Han, and the battles are frequent. The courage and protection of the soldiers are even more important than the land itself. Yinhu also relies on the protection of the bravery of the soldiers. Therefore, in these places, it is natural for the soldiers to manage the Yinhu."

"The founding of the country and established a system of soldiers, which was for the Great Xia to open thousands of miles of borders. If Zhao was born at that time, he should have followed him with his sword. However, the situation in Guandong is very different from that time. If the world was unified and the court governed Guandong with soldiers, the soldiers would not have the opportunity to fight in the hinterland of the Kanto prefecture and county. If they traveled thousands of miles to the northwest to participate in the war, and it would consume too much food, pay and manpower, the role it played was mostly internal. Gentlemen could also take the path of poor culture and wealth in wealth. It would not take long for the original gentry to become one with soldiers. For ordinary people, the burden would be even heavier. This is exactly what the ancients said, oranges were born in Huainan and tangerines were born in Huainan, and leaves were similar, but they actually tasted differently. What is the reason? The water and soil are different."

"However, Guanzhong and Shuzhong have not experienced any war for a long time, and the lives of the people are much better than those of Guandong."

"Guanzhong and Shuzhong implemented the system of sergeants to govern the households. At that time, it was the end of the chaotic times. The land was vast and sparsely populated, and there were many fertile land abandoned. The founding emperor implemented the system of sergeants to govern the households. Not only did the resistance was extremely small, but the land was also sufficient. From then on, the people were not allowed to buy and sell land, and it was even more impossible for a large landlord in all the lands. Rich businessmen had to operate commercial roads, open workshops, and mines. After the Five Dynasties, whether gentry or ordinary people, they naturally had

In the fear of the soldiers, no one dared to oppose the sergeant's management of civil affairs. Since then, the lives of the people of Guanxi have been good. The most important reason is that they continue to immigrate westward to reclaim their colonies. Under the law of inheriting the eldest son, the eldest son inherited the land of his father, while the second son and the third son were fed to the west to receive land. Over the past hundred years, the yield per mu has been increasing, and the land owned by each household has not decreased, so the lives of the people are getting better and better."

"I have three strategies for making the people of Kanto live better, middle and lower, and these are also three strategies for far, middle and near."

Zhao Xingde looked at Gao Su and Liu Zhijian and explained in detail. Although these two people in front of him were just his subordinates and friends, his solemn attitude seemed to be explaining the national policy in the Guardian Mansion. The people around him often felt like they were "heart-to-heart". He did not do it on purpose, but seemed to be born with everyone around him. Although this temperament was a bit pedantic, it often inadvertently convinced many people's hearts.

"The so-called worst-case approach is to suppress mergers. If you expand the land and not be exploited by the landlord, you will naturally have a better life, but the difficulty lies in the contradiction between people's hearts. As the saying goes, the way of heaven can reduce the excess and make up for the shortcomings. The way of man is not, and the loss is not enough to serve the excess. This is because people lack greed and the strong prey on the weak. Suppressing mergers is a boating against the current. No matter how determined you start, it will ultimately not resist the greed of the landlords in the world. Therefore, suppressing mergers can only solve the immediate problems. This strategy alone cannot last long, so it can only be a close plan, that is, a downside."

"The Zhongshou is to immigrate and expand colonization. All overseas countries are vast and sparsely populated. Indigenous people are limited to insufficient material resources and have no ability to open up wastelands, which just alleviates the difficulties of large populations and small lands for our Central Plains. In this way, the poor can give land to open up land overseas to obtain family business, and have a new way of life. The potential tenants in the Central Plains are not as many as before, and landlords cannot squeeze the tenants as before, and the land rent will drop. As a result, just like what the Xia Kingdom has seen over the past century, whether they are migrating or staying in the local area, their lives will get better and better. Although it was difficult to settle and expand the colonization outside at first, they followed the hearts of the people and had no repetitive worries. It can be considered Zhongshou."

Zhao Xingde picked up the teacup and took a sip, moistening his throat.

"The worst strategy, the middle strategy" Gao Su was fascinated by the ears and asked in dismay: "What about the best strategy?"

"Although overseas land is vast, there will always be an exhausting day, so it is not enough to be called long-term. In the long run, it is still necessary to promote industry and commerce and attract tenants from the land to workshops. If the income of a worker and a worker's apprenticeship exceeds the remaining amount of the tenant's rent after working for a year, and the landlord still does not reduce the rent of the land, no one will farm, or it should be said."

Zhao Xingde shook his head again and pondered: "If the landlord does not find a way to make the tenant's income not lower than that of the worker, no one will farm. There are several ways here. First, to plant land with the same people, but to reduce the land rent, the tenant's leave more food. Second, to plant more land with the same people, maybe the land rent ratio remains unchanged, but the grain left by the tenant also increases. The large population of Kanto is a chronic disease. Although we know that using cattle and horses to reform farm tools can save manpower, because there are many people and few lands, neither the landlord nor the tenant's holidays are on the holiday.

If you work hard with manpower, you will not hesitate to spend manpower, even if you harvest more than a few buckets of grain. Because the tenant's manpower was not sold in the past, it was idle, and it would be good to collect an extra liter of grain. After the booming industry and commerce, the manpower of tenants was no longer worthless, and it would be unprofitable to farm as much as before. The land absorbed by overseas land is exhausted, and as long as the workshop can sell goods, the demand for labor is almost endless. Therefore, this road is a long-term plan and it is also the best way to let the people of Kanto live a good life."

Liu Zhijian and Gao Su listened in a daze. Compared with Zhao Xingde, they were more like pure officers and rarely considered issues from the perspective of governing the country. The three strategies Zhao Xingde considered for the people of Kanto sounded very reasonable, but it seemed that he did not see the position of the sergeant in it, which made Gao Su and Liu Zhijian, who were sergeants, feel a little strange.

"Since the Yinhu and land cannot be governed, what's the use of occupying the State of Song?" Liu Zhijian thought instinctively.

"Does the system of sergeants really not suitable for the implementation of Kanto?"

Gao Su talked to himself with unconcealed bitterness and contradictions. In his opinion, the system of soldiers is a good system that is suitable for all the worlds, which is also the understanding of the vast majority of Xia people. There are only three countries in the world, the Celestial Kingdom that implements the system of soldiers, and various foreign countries that cannot be elected by soldiers because they are too barbaric, and the Song Kingdom that will definitely be able to implement the system of soldiers in the future. This is also one of the biggest reasons why the Guardians is determined to implement the system of soldiers in Kanto. Although Gao Su and Liu Zhijian had prejudices, Zhao Xingde was the person they trusted and admired the most. The three of them were both robes and brothers. The reasons Zhao Xingde said were very convincing, which shook Gao Su and Liu Zhijian's confidence in the implementation of the system of soldiers in Kanto. They even became skeptical about whether the dynasty had to unify Kanto.
