That's the biggest difference between him and these people.

And if he did something that could satisfy the people, he was able to reap a huge reward, and it was because of this that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty did not allow himself to have the slightest partiality.

Liu Zhong's troops arrived late, with a guilty look, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui did not blame him, after all, he was the defender of Xuanwu Gate, and the entire northern city was under the management of Wei Zheng, even if he wanted to blame Wei Zheng, he asked Liu Zhong to get up and follow Wei Zheng into this mansion at the same time.

Wei Zheng and Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty sat at both ends of the hall, but although Wei Zheng was sitting on the chair, he only dared to touch one side of the chair, and he didn't dare to do it steadily, looking trembling.

Seeing that this guy was so young, he was already old and cautious, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui smiled slightly.

"Removing the city defense army, all the things you have done in Beicheng are quite valued by the widows, especially if you can make those people who have been exiled here not to be beggars living on the streets after entering Changzhong, this is a huge credit."

When Wei Zheng heard Emperor Yang of Sui mention it, he could only shake his head helplessly: "Your Majesty, this is also a helpless move, although Daxing City is rich and prosperous, many resources are in the hands of the family, even the iron mines and salt mines outside the city, and even some lakes and fields, are encircled by the family, otherwise these people will be able to rely on themselves after a period of time." ”

Emperor Yang Guangzhao of Sui frowned, Wei Zheng also had this idea.

If these families were to give up the land in their hands, and to take out many mines, the people would naturally have enough food and clothing.

But is it possible?

These resources are all used by major families to use means or real strength, and accumulate generations of talents in their hands.

It is simply impossible to get them to give up these resources, just like to make Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui, give up the throne.

Therefore, Wei Zheng's words prove that he is probably also an idealist at this stage.

Before experiencing strong winds and rains, Wei Zheng was completely unable to be truly cautious.

Therefore, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui smiled slightly: "Wei Zheng, what you mean is very clear, you think that if you want to feed these homeless people, you must peel the skin from the family." Yes and no? ”

Wei Zheng's face remained unchanged, he just nodded lightly, and then said: "Your Majesty is so smart, he understood what Wei Zheng meant so quickly, and Wei Zheng is no longer good at concealing it, now these families have occupied the resources in their hands, and when they saw the homeless people entering the city, they stubbornly guarded their pockets without paying a penny, and the subordinates tried to pry their fingers open and take out the money from their bags." ”

When Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty heard this, he looked at Wei Zheng with approval.

"You're not like those officials at the court. Those officials only knew how to let the widow practice benevolent government and reduce the world's taxes, but they never said the way to make money, let alone mention that the family was like a cancer, but what you just said was thought of with the widow. ”

Wei Zheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, although the family has merit, their faults are even greater. With the help of the city defense army, the subordinates have already collected the sins of several great families from the capital, and these things are enough to make them afraid, although they can't cure him to death, but if they are blackmailed, there is no problem at all. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui laughed.

Wei Zheng was laughed all over, and stared at Emperor Yang Guang of Sui with a surprised expression, because he felt that his method was very good, not only to clean up some families in the dark, but also to get a sum of money to help the people tide over the crisis, isn't it a double win.

And Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty saw his confused watch, so he coughed and said, "You can only use this method once or twice, and it is to startle the snake, these families regard their money bags as heavier than life, you can get a cheap one from them, but you may not be able to get a second time." ”

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

Indeed, the family can make so much money, and it also relies on his own ability and strength, why should he blackmail others?

And the second point, such a method can indeed only be used once or twice, although the family has a lot of black pots, but if they lose too much, they can abandon these dirty things, you can't catch their handles, naturally you will find faults, and when the time comes, everyone is in danger, and the entire Daxing City may fall into a huge contradiction.

That's very disadvantageous.

But if you don't use such means, how can you get money out of the hands of these families?

Do you want to rob it? Then what is the difference between Wei Zheng and the bandits, and now His Majesty and the King of the Bandits?

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty saw the watch on Wei Zheng's face and smiled lightly: "You use the money you take to block the mouth of this exiled people, after all, it is a drop in the bucket, and the solution of the problem is still on the people themselves, if these people can live and work in peace and contentment, how can they go into exile?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, everyone understands this truth, but how can the people live and work in peace and contentment?" Isn't it possible to let the people eat the soil? ”

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty smiled faintly: "You underestimate these people too much, the widow had gone up the mountain to rescue the people when Baiyun Mountain collapsed before, and saw with his own eyes that these people were self-reliant, and everyone almost had the same ability to survive in the wild, and more importantly, these people were not as ignorant as you said, on the contrary, each of them had their own wisdom, otherwise how could they be alone, through thousands of miles, to Daxing City?" ”

Wei Zhengwenyan blinked.

He didn't expect His Majesty to understand the people so deeply.

But what's the use of understanding no matter how deep you understand?

If it can't be turned into money, how can you feed these people?

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty looked at Wei Zhong's face and decided to give him some ideas to remind, after all, he did not plan to hand over the matter of foreign trade to the officials to deal with, at least Wei Zheng was not suitable.

So he said: "The granary in Daxing City is enough for these homeless people to eat for a long time." ”

Wei Zheng blinked: "According to the current growth rate of these displaced people, it is estimated that they will be eaten up in two or three months, although at that time they can transfer grain from other counties and counties, but this is not a long-term solution after all." ”

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty nodded: "During this time, you must open up commerce widely, and the widows will also recruit troops among these displaced people, and at the same time, you also need to expand the city to accommodate these people, so it should not be difficult to deal with these people." ”

Wei Zheng's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that Emperor Yang Guang of Sui still had so many policies, and he only roughly estimated that the number of people used in the construction of the city expansion alone would probably not be less than 50,000.
