Chapter 934
When the second court meeting officially started, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, who had already made preparations, started their first battle in the court meeting. This time, the battle was really on the bright side. Those who need to express their attitude, sure enough, Zhong Changtong became the first player to perform after the court meeting just started, Liu Yi seemed a little worried, he was afraid that he would not be able to control the chaos that might ensue.

"Your Majesty, please play! Today's household registration has increased, which shows the merits of His Majesty. However, there are too many household registrations and insufficient arable land. It is just that there are 14 rangers in this Sili area. Most of them are Yu Ding. Farming, most people have also entered the government school, but failed to enter the imperial school, so they can only stay in their hometown and do nothing. They try to do business or become craftsmen, but there are too many restrictions and the tax is too high, which makes them hopeless. And retreat!"

"Your Majesty, these matters must be resolved. If Yichen's calculations are ignored, the number of rangers in the Sili area will exceed 20 in 40 years. After 40 years, there will be millions of rangers. At that time, they have no way to survive, and there will be turmoil, I ask your Majesty to exempt the industrial and commercial restrictions and lower the industrial and commercial taxes, so that these people can have their own way of life!"

"What's more, in this way, it will definitely be of great help to the development of the Han Dynasty." After Zhong Changtong finished speaking, he took out a memorial form, which contained his recent details about the household registration of the Han Dynasty. Records, the calculation results of various aspects, when he reads these contents, it is a little more proof for his request.

The ministers wanted to interrupt him several times, but Liu Yi stared at these people covetously, his figure was thrown into the hall, and no one dared to mess around, "You bastard! Did you take the money?" How much money does the merchant have? How dare you talk nonsense here!!", Zhong Changtong happened to be halfway through, and Cao Zhi came out angrily, yelling at Zhong Changtong.

Among the five tigers of the Cao family, Cao Zhi is the closest to Zhuge Liang, and his thinking is also the closest. Fortunately, Pang Tong still has Cao Chong, but it is a pity that Cao Chong is now in Guishuang, but he can no longer jump up to refute his elder brother, Liu Yi Squinting his eyes, he slowly walked to Cao Zhi's side, "Clean up!!", Liu Yi yelled suddenly, Cao Zhi was startled, raised his head, glanced at Liu Yi, and obediently retreated to his position.

Liu Xi, who was sitting at the top, finally showed some approval in his eyes. Although Liu Yi is a little impatient, he is not too stupid. At least he can control the progress of the temple. Liu Yi looked at Zhong Changtong, Zhong Changtong just continued to read his score sheet. At this moment, Liu Yi just looked at Cao Zhi and said, "You can say it!"

"It is very normal for the household registration of the big Han to increase. However, it does not necessarily mean that you need to let go of the restrictions to solve the problem of rangers. There are many outside the Great Wall, in Xizhou, in Jiaozhou, in Ningzhou, and even in Guizhou. In addition, Yankang rice is enough to solve the farming problems in these areas, as long as we continue to migrate and move the people in the Central Plains to the surrounding areas, we can solve the problem!"

"What's more, in this way, the frontier fortress can be stabilized and more grain production can be increased for the big man. Isn't this better than industry and commerce? If the restrictions on industry and commerce are relaxed, I am afraid that the continuous increase of merchants will make the The grain production of the Great Han has plummeted, if there is another disaster year, how many people will starve to death, is it possible for the industry and commerce to eat?" Cao Zhi also expressed his thoughts loudly.

By this time, the debate in the court meeting was officially started. The debate gradually turned into a quarrel, and the lines of the two sides had been clearly divided. Zhuge Liang just watched these discussions quietly, but did not speak. Nearly [-]% of the ministers in the temple , are all supporting him, Pang Tong's supporters are weak, except for Zhong Changtong and Liu Ba who are still struggling to resist, there is no one who can refute.

But at this time, Ma Jun suddenly came out, "Your Majesty, please play." When he spoke, the people who were arguing in the temple seemed to be grabbed by the neck, and they all fell silent. Zhong Chang Tong and the others breathed a sigh of relief, while Deng Ai and Cao Zhi frowned, and Ma Jun stepped forward. This was indeed a big problem for them.

However, Zhuge Liang was still very calm, without any haste at all. Ma Jun got up, and even Liu Xi had to open his eyes and put on a look of seriousness. "I think what Zhong Changjun said is reasonable." He couldn't give his own reason, but he agreed with Zhong Changtong's request.

After finishing speaking, he didn't continue to say anything, and returned to his seat. Ma Jun suddenly spoke, breaking the situation in the temple. Shang Shuling's ministers also looked at each other, and did not refute for a long time. Pang Tong squinted his eyes and looked at Zhuge Liang beside him. Finally, you need to come forward to solve it yourself. In this contest, you still have no way to solve Ma Jun.

This is why Pang Tong spent so much energy to win over Ma Jun. When everyone listens to other people's words, they only care about the weight of the people who speak, not the number of people who speak. Pang Tong knows that in terms of numbers, he is definitely not Zhuge Liang's opponent brought Ma Jun here, so that this man with enough weight could overwhelm the people on Shang Shuling's side.

"I think it's inappropriate." At this moment, a person slowly stood up and said seriously. Everyone was shocked and looked over. The person who got up had a resolute face and some vicissitudes. It was a Han Chen made of steel, with the same old-fashioned face, he looked at Ma Jun, and Pang Tong was shocked!
This person is Man Chong, a servant of the Xingfu. Man Chong contracted a disease during this period of time. All the affairs of the Xingfu are carried out by Zuo Cheng. Unexpectedly, at this time, he kept silent for a long time. But Man Chong suddenly spoke. Pang Tong knew him very well. He was a strict and rigid minister. As long as he thought it was correct, let alone Ma Jun, even the reappearance of Emperor Xiaoxian might not be able to suppress him. hold him.

Man Chong has lost a lot of weight, and his hair and beard have also turned gray. The only thing that hasn't changed is the determination on his face, and his brows are still twisted together. He looked at Ma Jun and asked, "Magong?" , I admire you, but do you really understand how much turmoil will occur if the restrictions on merchants are relaxed? Rangers commit crimes, so merchants don’t commit crimes? No, merchants will commit more mistakes.”

"At least rangers are moral, and killing people will not implicate the whole family, but merchants are different. Merchants cannibalize people, and they don't spit out their bones. If you don't know this, you'd better not open your mouth. Otherwise, if merchants commit crimes in the future, If Ma Gongxiu blames me for being ruthless, I will execute Ma Gong for the crime of connivance." Man Chong said it calmly, but Ma Jun was extremely scared when he heard it.

He didn't think this guy was just talking, if there were merchants who committed crimes, Man Chong would definitely deal with him, even the emperor couldn't stop him.

Ma Jun's eyes widened, and he looked at Pang Tong who was on the side. You just said to let me speak, but you didn't say that you would go to Xingfu to accompany Man Chong?Sweat was also dripping from Pang Tong's forehead. He really didn't understand how Zhuge Liang persuaded Man Chong, and when he started to win over him. Thinking about it, he felt angry in his heart. He didn't hide his actions. Play dirty with yourself, you immoral old thief!

Man Chong's background indeed surprised Liu Xi a little. He did not expect that so many old ministers would be recruited in the battle between Shang Shuling and Shi Zhongling. This seemed to be out of his control. Liu Xi quickly realized that This point, according to his original idea, is to allow Pang Tong to defeat Zhuge Liang and suppress the ministers of the Shangshu faction. Similarly, he cannot agree to all of Pang Tong. It is best to let go of work restrictions and not let go of businessmen limits.

The emperor hurriedly looked at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi nodded, and he looked at his father-in-law again.

"I think!!! Both parties are right!! But, this relocation matter, we can't rush to implement it now!! Just talk about this matter of industry and commerce, it is better to let go of the restrictions on work, all of you You are scolding merchants, but this craftsman never offended you? What do you think???" Liu Yi's father-in-law stood up and began to yell.

"That makes sense!" Everyone nodded, even the radicals around Zhuge Liang couldn't say anything at the moment.

"No, craftsmen can cast ordnance, this is a more dangerous thing." Man Chong was the one who spoke, and Man Chong looked at Zhang Fei coldly. He didn't care about friendship with his old colleagues, Zhang Fei squinted With both eyes, looking at Zhuge Jin on the side, he said: "With your Gengzufu here, can you control this situation?? Or are you Gengzufu all mediocre?!!!"

Zhuge Jin was taken aback for a moment, he never expected that the flames of war would be on him, and he hurriedly said: "Gengzufu must do its best."

"Hahahaha! That's good, Bo Ning, look, regardless of industry and commerce, if they commit crimes, if the law enforcement is not effective, you should arrest Zhuge Jin, if the trial is unfair, you can deal with yourself and arrest Magong, what is the reason for that? ???"

Man Chong turned his head to the side, looked at Zhuge Jin, and didn't speak again.

Once the situation settled down again, Liu Xi just looked at the temple calmly. Today's Liu Yi has indeed changed his opinion of him a lot. It can also become a good force, which can be used when it is necessary now to push things in the direction expected by the emperor.

"Okay, then it's settled."
