Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 332 Let's Eat First
  Three days have passed since the palace change.

In addition to the chaos and disorder at the beginning, the House of Representatives quickly grasped the right to speak at the top, and then controlled the order of people's livelihood in the middle, strangled the source of chaos, and relied on the level-by-level suppression of the violent machine. Now, the entire city of Beijing is on the surface in a state of chaos. Peaceful, less panic and rumors.

At least, Wang Qi's goal in a short period of time has been achieved.

When the time comes, it will be officially announced to the world that the imperial power has been restructured.

The Prime Minister's Affairs Office, the backyard, and the Government Office of Qi.

Sun Chuanting sat opposite Wang Qi, and the room was filled with the fragrance of tea. However, the table in front of Wang Qi was filled with various books and letters, and his bed was filled with various maps and geographical manuscripts.

Sun Chuanting was a little surprised that the books in the study of the dignified Duke of Qi, who was the regent and in charge of the government at that time, were piled up in such a mess.

"Duke Qi, the sudden change in the palace has shocked the whole country. I dare to ask, what is the purpose of your doing this?" In Sun Chuanting's opinion, Wang Qi's move was completely outweighed by the gains. It not only plunged the Ming Dynasty into large-scale civil strife, but also made himself The fame that was finally accumulated suddenly plummeted overnight, so why bother?
  "It's my fault that Boya suffered two more days in jail. The affairs were complicated. Someone reminded me yesterday that I remembered that Boya was in large numbers. You shouldn't blame me, right?" Wang Qi did not answer Sun Chuanting's question. He stood up and filled a cup of tea for him, then turned around and returned to his chair. He leaned his upper body on the back of the chair and put one hand casually on the armrest. There was a pile of letters beside him, and there were open maps at his feet for easy reading. It's been a lot of work and I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

"It doesn't matter to Sun Chuanting that he is in jail," Sun Chuanting shook his head.

"That's good," Wang Qi nodded. At the same time, a servant brought a food box outside the door: "Eat a little with me first. As for the question you just asked, let's chat while we eat."

Wang Qi's lunch didn't have much variety, just two dishes, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of sweet soup for digestion.

The dishes are sometimes stewed pork ribs with radish and a plate of yellow flowers mixed with green silk.

Sometimes it’s stir-fried rabbit and a plate of cold shredded carrots.

But it tastes sweet and delicious.

Sun Chuanting had not eaten meat for a long time, and what he ate was wind and residual clouds.

"Tell the kitchen to stir-fry another dish and bring an extra bowl of rice," Wang Qi ordered the waiter outside the door, then turned to Sun Chuanting and said, "You and I often exchange letters, and we only got to see each other today. It’s rare.”

Not caring to reply, Sun Chuanting just nodded.

"You asked just now, what is my purpose?" Wang Qi looked at Sun Chuanting and smiled: "If I say, for the sake of Jiuzhou Wanfang, can Boya believe it?"

Stopping the chopsticks in his hands, Sun Chuanting raised his head and replied seriously: "Does it have to be a palace change?"

"Other than that, nothing can happen!" Wang Qi nodded.

"You want to think for all directions in Jiuzhou, but you don't want to be the emperor. There are always people who want you to be, and you can't hide." Sun Chuanting thought for a while, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Since ancient times, there has been no good end for a regicide in the palace. What? Those soldiers under the Duke of Qi fought for their lives on the battlefield, and now they are risking the disapproval of the world and raising troops to go south. They can't look back."

"I will handle this matter." Wang Qi seemed to be confident, but looked at Sun Chuanting with interest: "Boya, if you are asked to lead the troops to Shanxi to annihilate the rebellious people again, would you be confident?" "You Aren't you afraid that I'll never come back?" As he spoke, Sun Chuanting had already finished a bowl of rice. He took the second bowl from the waiter, placed the dishes on the plate directly on the rice, and started gobbling it up again.

"Eradicating the rebels is a good thing for both the court and the people. I can't think of any reason for you not to do it." Wang Qi squatted on the tea cup and continued: "I will give you complete independent military power and deploy a Liaodong army." The elites will be deployed by you. In one month, I want Shanxi and there will be no more rioters in Shaanxi!"

"Sun can lead troops to go on an expedition, but the fact is that in the land of Shanxi and Shaanxi, chaos breeds endlessly. If one crop is wiped out, another crop will pop up, endlessly!" Sun Chuanting also realized the actual root cause of chaos. Where: "If you can't survive, you will naturally get up and kill officials and fall into the grass."

"I can't live anymore. Firstly, there are years of drought and severe cold weather. Secondly, there are continuous wars and numerous taxes. Thirdly, land annexation leaves poor households without a place to live. These things, after the war is over, the population can be relocated and improved through tripartite trade." Planting rice crops can slowly solve the problem."

The improvement of crops has already begun in the late Ming Dynasty. If sweet potatoes and corn can adapt to the northern land, if they are improved, they will be able to greatly increase their yields and feed the population.

Wang Qi alone is definitely not enough, but with the hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, it is only a matter of time before a list is posted offering rewards and brainstorming.

"These matters cannot be solved in a short time!" Sun Chuanting shook his head. Although he recognized Wang Qi's method, the chaos in Shanxi and Shaanxi could not be cured in a short time.

"This requires you, Boya, to help the House of Representatives take root in Shanshaan. If Shanshaan can survive in three to five years, you, Sun Boya, will be enough to leave your name in the annals of history, and you will have a place in the Great House of Representatives!"

Painting cake?

Sun Chuanting frowned. Although he was not interested in the Great Council or anything like that, if he could really save the hungry people in Shanxi, it would indeed be a great achievement!
  "Qi Guogong, Sun will ask one more question, if Nanjing raises troops and is diligent, do you plan to fight against him?" As the topic changed, Sun Chuanting brought up the most important challenge that Wang Qi will face in the future!

To be honest, with Wang Qi's foundation and prestige in the north, there is really no pressure to be a powerful regent. After all, from east to west: Liaodong and Shandong are Wang Qi's basic base, and almost no one can shake it; Gyeongsang Province and northern Henan Soldiers and horses were stationed in Liaodong, and Wang Qi himself was in charge, so no one could make trouble. The roads in Shanxi and Shaanxi were managed by Wang Qi painstakingly, and they were important channels connecting Horqin. The eight major Shanxi merchants all looked at Wang Qi's head and followed him. live.

Let me ask, who in the entire north can shake the rule of Duke Qi?

But the situation was different in the south. It was the domain of scholar-bureaucrats, literati groups, gentry officials and businessmen, and Wang Qi had almost no influence there.

Once the North and the South confront each other, the suffering will be borne by the people of Kyushu.

"Bloodshed sacrifice is necessary for revolution. Boya, it is unbearable for Zhao Song officials to bully orphans and widows, but I, Wang Qi, have not been able to learn the bloodless methods of coup d'état for the time being." Wang Qi said with a smile in his eyes. But in Sun Chuanting's eyes, he was so cold and bloody: "Even if ten thousand or one million people die in this battle, I don't care what the history books call me. This time it will be a different day, I am determined!"

"If there is a confrontation between the north and the south in the future, Sun's sword will not face the common people." Sun Chuanting put down half a bowl of rice, stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Qi: "When the time comes, I hope the Duke of Qi will let me go back to my hometown!"

"Boya, let's eat first!" Wang Qi smiled, but did not reply after all.

　Brothers and sisters, please vote for recommendations and monthly votes! For the sake of my diligence in recent updates.

　　Make a tearful cry!
