Chapter 655 Kong Ming Discusses Politics
Before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he attracted everyone's attention, including Liu Xie.

Liu Xie saw Yuan Shu's careful thinking, but he hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet.Let Zhuge Liang and others discuss, in itself has the purpose of listening and understanding.

If Yuan Shu killed Yan Liang and seized Lujiang just because of his personal will, then it was not so simple for him to promote Dutian in Lujiang.

He is a Nato certificate, and he wants to be firmly tied to the imperial court and seek the imperial court's protection.

If Yuan Shu wants to fight Yuan Shao to the end and never compromise, it is tantamount to tearing face with those former disciples of the Yuan family who are loyal to Yuan Shao, and will inevitably be hostile and rejected.This is Yuan's private matter, it is not easy for the imperial court to come forward directly, maybe they will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and sit and watch Yuan's internal struggle.But if he is hostile by the big clan in Shandong because of saving the land, then the imperial court will have to show up.

Otherwise, who would take Du Tian seriously?Just unite and oppose unanimously.

Yuan Shu deliberately magnified the situation, in fact, he was pulling the tiger's skin and making a big banner to force the court to take a stand.

You don't care about the private affairs of my Yuan family, you don't care about Du Tian?

Liu Xie saw through this point, so he praised Yuan Shu for his great wisdom and foolishness.

Yuan Quan also saw through this point, and knew that apart from fighting against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu had put himself in the fire to gain a future for them, so he said that Yuan Shu had been absurd all his life, and finally did something serious.

But just as Pang Tong was worried, the matter of saving the land could not be rushed, and changes would happen if it was urgent, which would force Shandong scholar-bureaucrats into Yuan Shao's camp.Not only those who supported Yuan Shao will give up their hearts, but those who originally supported the imperial court may change their minds.

Zong Cheng and Lou Gui's family also owned land, and Cao Cao's family also owned land.

There are many people who are opposed to Dutian, or in other words, who are eager to Dutian. Wang Lang, who had just arrived in Guanzhong, strongly opposed it.As an old official of the Yang family, Wang Lang was undoubtedly loyal to the imperial court, and he actually represented the common aspirations of most of the Shandong scholar-bureaucrats.

Although my family has a lot of land, not one acre is superfluous.

After all, there are only a few rare creatures like Yuan Shu who would not hesitate to burn everything in order to kill Yuan Shao.

Liu Xie is also aware of the scale, understands the views of Wang Lang and others, and has no immediate plan to implement Dutian in Shandong.

Liu Xie praised Yuan Shu for being clever, but it didn't mean he was willing to be coerced by Yuan Shu.

To some extent, Pang Tong's suggestion is more feasible and can resolve Yuan Shu's persecution.

It's just not that perfect.

Zhuge Liang's clear-cut opposition caught Liu Xie by surprise.

"Kong Ming, let's hear it."

"Wei." Zhuge Liang bowed and saluted without rushing, and said calmly: "Dutian is the established policy of the imperial court, and it is also the basis of the New Deal. Currently, the progress of the Dutian, Hanyang, and Sanfu has been different, and the effect is also different. The difference can already explain some situations. Please Rong Chen explain them one by one."

"Say it." Liu Xie became interested.

"In contrast, Hedong failed to punish the rebellious clans, resulting in the control of a large amount of land in the hands of the clans. Hedong Yin can only control the grain produced by soldiers in the fields. Although the output has increased every year, the The upper limit is not high. Preliminary estimates, it can barely support Youyan Dufu, and there is no more power left."

"The big clans in Hanyang are the most supportive of the imperial court's new policy, but Hanyang has limited arable land and not much food output. Apart from stabilizing the county, it can provide a small amount of support for other counties. If Liangzhou wants to be stable, it must obtain from Guanzhong or Yi State grain adjustment."

"Guanzhong has the most arable land, and the effect of saving the land is relatively better. In time, it will not only be self-sufficient, but also provide food for Liangzhou."

Zhuge Liang paused for a moment, allowing everyone to have time to digest, and finally concluded: "Although the Dutian in the three places has its own shortcomings, in general, Dutian is conducive to food supply and has a great effect on the stability of the frontier. Persistence It is imperative to carry out the cultivation of fields in the Kanto region where there is more arable land. If not, the old evils of the Han Dynasty will be hard to get rid of.”

Pang Tong couldn't help but said: "Kong Ming, I'm not against Dutian, but I don't think you should rush for success."

"It's true that you can't rush for success, but you must have a clear attitude." Zhuge Liang's voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm. "Your Majesty didn't issue an edict saying that he would implement Dutian in Shandong immediately, but Yangzhou Mu asked to implement Dutian in Lujiang. He dared to be the first in the world, but the court could not be ambiguous, so Shandong scholar-bureaucrats were lucky."

Zhuge Liang turned to Liu Xie. "Your Majesty, the Lujiang River is located between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River. The land is fertile and the water conservancy is superior. It can grow both rice and wheat. Not only is it far superior to Hedong and Hanyang, it is even slightly better than Guanzhong. If the Lujiang River is successfully implemented, not only will the harvest be better There are more, and it is easier for Shandong scholar-bureaucrats to see the positive side of Dutian and reduce their resistance. Such an opportunity must not be missed."

Pang Tong couldn't help laughing and said: "Could it be that after the Lujiang Dutian, the harvest is more, the Shandong scholar-bureaucrats can support Dutian?"

"At least the people in Shandong will support it." A slight smile appeared on the corner of Zhuge Liang's mouth. "If you can get the support of Shandong people, does it matter whether Shandong scholar-bureaucrats support it or not?"

"This..." Pang Tong's eyes widened, and he was about to speak when he realized something was wrong and quickly swallowed it back.

He extremely disagreed with Zhuge Liang's words, but he couldn't say it in front of the emperor.

Zhuge Liang raised his hand and pressed lightly, signaling Pang Tong not to worry. "Shandong scholar-bureaucrats oppose Dutian, and what they are fighting for is nothing more than profit. Your Majesty's promotion of Dutian is not to compete with the people for profit. On the contrary, it is to give them greater benefits. It's just that most people in the world are short-sighted and see greater benefits. Before, they were unwilling to give up the small profits in their hands. When they find out that Dutian will bring greater benefits, they will not refuse."

Pang Tong and others turned their heads to look at Liu Xie.

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't speak.

High judgment.

In terms of military affairs, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng are not weak.In terms of governing the country, Zhuge Liang has surpassed most of his peers and stood in the atmosphere.

A genius is a genius, just a little bit.

Pang Tong coughed lightly. "Kong Ming, as you said, Hedong, Hanyang, and Guanzhong are all in the field, but where is the great benefit you mentioned? Could it be the benefit of the Silk Road?"

"Although the benefits of the Silk Road are great, they are far from everything." Zhuge Liang shook his head. "After the great chaos, the restoration of the master, the real great benefits will not be revealed until the world is peaceful. Food is the most important thing for the people, and nearly half of the people in the world have no place to stand. When they are reduced to refugees, how can they have the mind to produce? Save the fields, It is the solution to the survival problems of countless people and the foundation of peace in the world, so it must be done.”

Zhuge Liang raised his hand and waved vigorously. "You can't rush to save the land, but you can't hesitate. The court should clearly support Yangzhou Mu's trial of saving the land in Lujiang to show its determination. If someone takes the risk because of this and does not hesitate to be an enemy of the court, it is not the loss of the court, but their loss." There is no cure, and I will die from the sky.”

Pang Tong frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

Fazheng and the others also exchanged opinions and whispered in low voices.

There was a slight smile in Yuan Quan's eyes, and he bowed to Liu Xie. "Peaches and plums don't say anything, and you will form a path. Your Majesty's mind is like the sea, and talents are like hundreds of rivers. If a man is like the sun, he will be able to wash away the dust and reappear the great light."
