When several people in the room heard the words, they saw that he was holding a military report in his hand, and Du Yinxi and Chen Zilong couldn't help but get up at the same time, but it was Su Guansheng who turned around and asked first, "What is the result?" ”

Chen Bangyan had a smile on his face, looked at the expressions of several people, and paused deliberately before saying, "Naturally, it is a great victory." ”

As soon as his words came out, several people's hearts fell to the ground, Chen Zilong sat down slowly, and Du Yinxi and Su Guansheng stepped forward in a few steps, walked in front of Chen Bangyan, took the military report, and couldn't wait to unfold it.

The two of them quickly glanced at each other, and their faces were excited and excited.

After reading it, Du Yinxi returned to his seat, and Su Guansheng handed the general report to Chen Zilong, and then said: "The prison country broke 200,000 gold thieves in Lintong, and countless prisoners were captured, and Haoge fled north with only a few dozen people. At present, the army is divided into three routes, all the way to pursue Wu Sangui, all the way to pursue Meng Qiaofang, and the prison country gathers men and horses and goes straight to Chang'an. ”

Chen Zilong took the military report, read it, and said with some excitement: "The main force of the golden thieves has been defeated, and there should be no obstacle for the prison country to take Chang'an, so it can be determined." Well, that's great! ”

After speaking, Chen Zilong read the military newspaper back and forth a few times, and was still a little excited and couldn't help himself, "It's really good, after this battle, Jin Guo should no longer be able to organize any counterattacks, and the war in Guanzhong is estimated to be over." ”

At this point, Chen Zilong paused, looked at a few people and said, "If the war in Guanzhong ends, the people will not be able to suffer from labor for a while, and after the people return to their hometowns, this year's autumn harvest should not be affected, so that the taxes of the imperial court will not be greatly affected." ”

After Du Yinxi and Su Guansheng inspected the circle, they were worried that if the war dragged on, it would affect production, and now that they have taken Chang'an, they will say that the big war has ended, and even if they continue to use troops, the scale will inevitably be much smaller, and it will not be so large.

For a while, several people couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and the whole person relaxed, Su Guansheng sighed: "From Jiashen to the present, the world has fallen apart to being unified again, it is really not easy in retrospect!" ”

His words made several people sigh for a while, how many hardships have been experienced in a great empire from the collapse to the rebirth of Nirvana and re-unification, and how many people have sacrificed for it, how can it not make people sigh.

I think about retreating from Nanjing to Hangzhou, from Hangzhou to Fujian, and finally retreating to Guangzhou to gain a firm foothold, thinking about how many people died along the way, in retrospect, it was really a difficult journey.

Su Guansheng and Du Yinxi, who were on the side, were still a little worried about the war, but now that they got the report, their attitudes immediately changed.

However, while a few people sighed happily, Du Yinxi suddenly spoke: "Everyone, since the prison country has already marched to Chang'an, presumably Chang'an will be taken soon, and it will be time for us to take action." ”

When Chen Zilong and the others heard this, they smiled on their faces, and only then did they hear that they had defeated the Jin army and were about to recover Guanzhong, and they were happy, but they forgot that Guanzhong was actually a mess.

Chen Zilong's face changed, and he nodded: "What Gong Du said is right. I'm afraid it's not the time to be happy! I have just received a report that the rebellion of the hungry people in northern Shaanxi has swept through the northern part of Shanxi, and the situation in Guanzhong may not be good. ”

The Northern Shaanxi People's Revolution expanded to Shanxi, and everyone's expressions became serious. For the hungry riots, the officials of the Ming Dynasty who experienced the large-scale rebellion during the Chongzhen period can be said to be very sensitive to the hunger riots.

At that moment, everyone couldn't help but straighten up in their seats, put away their relaxed posture, and became serious.

It is easy to destroy, difficult to build, before the Ming Dynasty, it was a mess in the pass, and a few people thought of cleaning it up again, and they felt that they were in a mess, and they had to cheer up.

Su Guansheng straightened his body and said, "Governance is indeed more difficult than laying. Guanzhong was prosperous for a short time before, and if we want to return to the heart of Sanqin, we can't do at least worse than Jinguo. ”

After the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, the land has been relatively barren, compared to farming, it is naturally not comparable to other provinces, and there seems to be no special products, how to recover, but it is really a problem.

In fact, Jin Guo found a way for Guanzhong, that is, the Silk Road on the road to restart, but it is more difficult for Jin Guo to do this well, and the Ming Dynasty to do it.

Guanzhong is the core of the Jin State, it is a place of focus, and the political status is high, but in the Ming Dynasty, Guanzhong is just an ordinary province, the political status has declined, and the Ming Dynasty cannot give too much preferential treatment and special attention, plus Guanzhong has no voice in the DPRK, unlike the southern provinces, basically control the right to speak in the DPRK, and the policies and resources of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be tilted to the south.

In this way, it is actually very difficult for Guanzhong to recover.

Chen Zilong hadn't thought about these things to recover in the future, he shook his head and said, "Duke Su, now that it has returned to the level of the Jin Kingdom period, don't talk about it for the time being." I'm a poor person now, and I just want to let Guanzhong settle down first, so that there won't be a great famine. ”

After hearing this, Du Yinxi couldn't help asking: "Why doesn't the household department have any money?" ”

"500,000 troops, more than 100,000 people, not to mention no money!" Chen Zilong was puzzled: "The household department is already in debt. ”

"That is still to increase taxes, and continue to reform and improve the tax system." Plug Yinxi said.

The Chu faction in the court favored the Wude everywhere, and the previous economic war against the Jin State, the Wude made a lot of money, and now the imperial court governs Guanzhong, and they should contribute.

As for the improvement of the tax system, Du Yinxi has mentioned it several times, but they have all been vetoed by interest groups and dragged on.

When Chen Bangyan heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head, "Blocking the public, even if the tax reform and the tax system are improved, the tax will not be collected this year, and Guanzhong is an urgent need at the moment, and it must be solved immediately, so I suggest that a large number of rich and powerful people can be seized in the Guanzhong case, so that a large amount of money and grain can be quickly obtained, which should be enough for the imperial court to stabilize Guanzhong." ”

Chen Bangyan and Chen Zilong here are both Chu parties, and they mainly safeguard the interests of the south, so their ideas are naturally biased towards the south.

When Su Guansheng heard this, he helped to block Yinxi, he frowned and said: "I have no objection to the seizure of a group of Jin State magnates in Guanzhong, but this matter cannot be expanded." At present, the focus is on stabilizing the people's hearts, and the implication is too wide, which is not conducive to the stability of Guanzhong, and the rich households have copied it, how can we restore the economy of Guanzhong? If you want to reopen the Silk Road and run the Western Regions in the future, how can you do it without the participation of the rich? ”

"This~" Chen Bangyan didn't think about it so much.

Seeing this, Chen Zilong hurriedly made a round, "Then don't expand, just copy the officials and nobles, the land and wealth of the Jin Kingdom are actually very concentrated, copy one Meng Qiaofang, and top one hundred and ten ordinary rich households." After copying it, it is not enough, and then according to the example of Henan, selling some land to wealthy families in Jiangnan should be barely enough. ”

Du Yinxi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he went around Henan, and found that after inspection, many lands in Henan were in the hands of southern merchants and big clans, according to their needs, planting all kinds of crops, and the economy of this province was basically controlled by the south, in the words of later generations, just like economic colonies.

At present, there is no problem in this way, but after a long time, the gap between the localities is getting wider and wider, and the contradictions will break out sooner or later. But at this time, Du Yinxi only realized that there was a problem, but he didn't know what the problem was, after all, he didn't know much about the economy.

After a few people discussed for a while, they dispersed, and the two walked on the road, and the two couldn't help asking: "Su Gong, you just spoke for the rich in Guanzhong, do you want to save a little strength to fight against the gentry of the Chu faction." ”

Su Guansheng nodded, "Politics lies in checks and balances, and absolute power will inevitably lead to absolute corruption." After the separation of the administrative officer from the administrative officer, partisan strife is no longer hidden and has long been on the table. I think this is not bad, but two points must be achieved, the first is not to be a one-party monopoly, and the second is to limit the power of the country, and the power must be handed over to the cabinet, so that the politics of the Ming Dynasty can be clear, and corruption can be restricted to the greatest extent. Now many gentry in the south support the Chu faction, and the Chu faction constantly seeks benefits for them in order to gain their support, which is actually harming the interests of the imperial court, so we must stand up and speak for the people of other provinces, otherwise the imperial court will have problems sooner or later. ”

Du Yinxi couldn't help nodding frequently, "That's right." Recently, the prison country has become more and more stubborn and self-serving, and after the destruction of gold this time, the prestige is even greater, and once the crime is committed, no one can control it. I am in favor of the return of power to the Cabinet, not to the hands of one person. ”

Now that the position has changed, Wang Yan thinks that he is a corrupt ruling class, he used to shout to limit the imperial power, but now he has become the counterpart of others who want to restrict, and he can be regarded as digging a hole himself.
