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 implement Dutian in the Kanto region where there are 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 is true that you should not 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 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 implementation of Dutian in Lujiang is successful, 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 you or not?"

"This..." Pang Tong's eyes widened, and he was about to speak, but 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."

Chapter 649

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing, the corner of his mouth twitched, and then he regained his composure.

It is rare for Yuan Quan to praise others.She carefully kept a proper distance from everyone, and never spoke well of Yuan Shu.

Today it revealed a flaw.

Although she did not express her own opinion, but she praised the young and handsome people around the emperor in this way, which was tantamount to agreeing with their opinions.

Especially Zhuge Liang, the timing of her choice showed her attitude.

After all, they are father and daughter after all, how could they not care.

But for Yuan Shu, a wonderful father, not caring is the greatest concern.

But Liu Xie did not draw a conclusion.He asked Zhuge Liang and others to think again, and to consider the problem from different angles.

Then, he ordered someone to file the good news, copy it to several important ministers, and listen to their opinions.

When Yuan Shu left Shouchun, Zhang Xi had already arrived in Shouchun.According to the estimated time, if nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Xi should meet Yuan Shao.Regardless of Yuan Shao's reaction, Zhang Xi's memorial should already be on the way.

What is Zhang Xihui's attitude?Liu Xie roughly guessed.

As a representative of Shandong scholars—whether he is conscious or not—Zhang Xi's attitude against Dutian is almost written on his face, and he even has the possibility of blocking it at all costs.He sent Zhang Xi to Shandong because he knew that Zhang Xi's attitude would be difficult to change, so it was better to keep him at a respectful distance.

No matter how fast the horse is, it is not in sight after all.No matter how long the memorial is, it cannot be said in the end.Thoughts put on paper must be more restrained after all, otherwise it will be included in the policy in the future, and Zhang Xi's reputation after death will be worrying.

As an old minister who cherishes feathers, Zhang Xi can clearly understand the gains and losses.

Yuan Shu's good news was like a stone falling into the water, causing ripples, which aroused many people's discussions.

When Liu Xie was sitting by the Kunming Lake, enjoying the hare roasted by Lu Bu himself, a group of casual riders and officials were discussing.Ma Yunlu, Lu Xiaohuan and others were no exception, and they quarreled with some officials.

The debate originated from the casual ridicule of a Lang official.

It was a middle-aged Langguan who was first selected together with Wang Yue, Shi A and others.When he was young, he worked as a ranger in Luoyang and was familiar with Yuan Shu.

He said, Yuan Shu is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and he breaks the cans and falls.His Yangzhou shepherd was originally empty, except for Jiujiang and Lujiang, several counties in the south of the Yangtze River were not under his control at all.Even the Lujiang River has just been seized, even if the implementation of Dutian fails, it will have no effect.If he really responded to the imperial edict, why didn't he spend time in Jiujiang?

He finally concluded that Yuan Shu looked like a bachelor, but he was actually very shrewd.He knows what can and cannot be done.Every time he caused trouble, someone would take the responsibility for him, and he had nothing to do with it.

When he was young, he was his father and elder brother, and now he is the emperor.

Just like the burning of the imperial palace, everyone only remembers Yuan Shao, who remembers that Yuan Shu was the one who set the fire?

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but his voice was very loud, and Yuan Quan and others not far away could hear him clearly.

Yuan Quan pretended not to hear him without saying a word.

But Lu Xiaohuan got angry, jumped up, rushed in front of the Lang Guan, pointed his halberd and shouted loudly.

"Are you complaining for Yuan Shao?"

The middle-aged Langguan was a little embarrassed, but he didn't panic, and said with a smile: "I don't mean that, Langzhong Lu is trying to commit a crime."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything, I'm just telling the truth." The middle-aged Lang Guan looked around and was ready to retreat.No matter whether he can beat Lu Xiaohuan or not, he can't do it.Lu Bu is on the side, he is not Lu Bu's opponent. "They are not familiar with the Yangzhou shepherd, so there will inevitably be misunderstandings. Why don't you come? Wenhou should have met Yangzhou shepherd when he went to Nanyang."

Lu Xiaohuan waved his arm. "Don't talk nonsense, I'll just ask you what you mean, is it against Du Tian?"

Lang Guan stopped laughing, his face was sullen, and he didn't say a word.

"Did I hit the mark?" Lu Xiaohuan was very proud. "I know what you Shandong people are thinking. You don't have a few acres of land at home, and you don't want to farm. You just want to climb the door. When you were a ranger when you were young, did you go to Yuan Shao's door and eat a few meals? As Yuan Shao's guest, do you want to show loyalty?"

"Please, Mr. Lu, don't spout blood." Lang Guan couldn't hold back. "There are more than ten million Luoyang rangers who have been to Yuan Shao's gate, and it's not that those who have been to Yuan Shao's gate support Yuan Shao. I'm just telling some stories, why should Lu be aggressive. Master Yuan is here, why don't you let her talk about it? Was there a slanderous remark?"

"Stop doing this." Lu Xiaohuan stared. "The father hides for the son, and the son hides for the father, right in it."

Lang Guan was also annoyed and blurted out. "That's not the case. The good deeds that your father did back then are much more powerful than Yangzhou Mu burning the imperial palace. Can you say it?"

His voice was so loud that even Liu Xie heard it.

Liu Xie glanced at Lu Bu and was mentally prepared for the contingency.

Lu Bu concentrated on roasting the rabbit, motionless, as if he didn't hear it.

Liu Xie's eyes flickered slightly, and he kicked Lu Bu with his foot. "Marquis Wen, Xiaohuan started arguing with someone."

"I heard it." Lu Bu said unhurriedly, "I still have enough kidney energy, and my hearing is not bad."

Liu Xie almost laughed out loud.Does Lu Bu have a psychological shadow, everything is pulled on the kidneys. "You're not in a hurry?"

"Should I be anxious?" Lu Bu raised his head with calm eyes. "First of all, what he said is the truth. My mistake back then was worse than burning down the imperial palace. Even if His Majesty pardoned my minister, I would always reflect on myself and not commit the same crime again. Secondly, Xiaohuan has made progress in her studies recently, so I think I can handle it. I don't need my minister to come forward." Support. Take ten thousand steps back and say that they are all ministers of His Majesty, arguing in front of His Majesty, right and wrong, should be judged by His Majesty, why should the ministers overstep the rules?"

Liu Xie saw it and nodded. "Wen Hou's books are better than Xiaohuan's."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Bu lowered his head again, paused, and said, "I just regret that I read too late. If I could read more when I was young, I wouldn't make such a big mistake. Your Majesty promotes enlightenment in the army." , I strongly agree with it. If a person does not learn etiquette, he will not be able to stand up."

Liu Xie turned his head to glance at the crowd who were arguing in the distance, and then looked away. "What the hell do you think Yuan Gonglu is doing?"

Lu Bu pondered for a while. "I think that Langguan is right. Yuan Gonglu is just fighting. All he wants is for Yuan Benchu ​​to bow his head. The rest is not important."

"Should the court support him?"

"I don't know." Lu Bu was a little embarrassed. "The matter of Dutian is too complicated for me to understand. I am only good at fighting, not good at negotiating conditions and making deals. If I follow my mind, all the big families in Shandong should be killed. Killing is the cleanest."

"You hate them that much?"

Lu Bu was startled, and came back to his senses, knowing that he was agitated just now, and he didn't choose what to say, and quickly explained: "I also know that this is impossible. I just..."

"It's okay, I'm the same as you." Liu Xie pointed at Lu Bu and then at himself. "Sometimes when I hate them, I just want to kill them all."

He smiled and sighed again: "But it's impossible."

"Yes." Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief. "Just like this roasted hare, if the fire is too strong, it will burn."

Chapter 650

Liu Xie did not rule on the dispute.

The speaker is not guilty, this is his rule.

You can't talk about people, but you can do it.If you want to reason with the other party, you must have the strength to let the other party listen to your reasoning. This is also the idea he has always advocated.

Lu Xiaohuan dared to stand up for Yuan Quan, not only because Yuan Quan was the head of the women's battalion, but also because she had the strength.

Practicing martial arts is like studying scriptures, which need to be passed down.Lu Xiaohuan has a father named Lu Bu, who has been in the military camp since he was a child, and has laid a solid foundation, which is by no means comparable to those rangers who are young, strong or brave.

Frequent debates are not only conducive to urging them to persist in martial arts, but also conducive to exercising their minds.

It's not clear why.

Of course, the debate also has a scope and is divided into internal and external.Internal debate, the speaker is not guilty.To the outside world, we must be cautious in our words and deeds, and we must not express our opinions lightly, let alone spread the emperor's opinions to the outside world, otherwise we will be severely punished.

This is the forbidden province system. The first thing for every Langguan to do is to memorize these rules.

As far as the argument is concerned, Liu Xie thinks that both sides are reasonable, and they are both a little too simple.

Lang Guan thinks that Yuan Shu is a broken pot, which is probably the truth.But he overlooked one point. In fact, Yuan Shu's motivation is not important, what matters is the result.

As long as Yuan Shu's promotion of land saving in Lujiang is beneficial to the imperial court, the imperial court can make the best use of the situation and turn Yuan Shu's nonsense into the imperial court's temptation, and finally into a torrent.

Lu Xiaohuan felt that Lang Guan was defending Yuan Shao, which was not wrong at all.Yuan Shao raised his name in Luoyang back then, spent money like water, and won the favor of the world, and there are many people who regard Yuan Shao as their own.Not only rangers, but also many scholars.

Although not all scholars have fields, they have studied since childhood and have been taught by sages, and they all oppose the lofty concept of competing with the people for profit.Having benefited from Yuan Shao, they feel that although Yuan Shao occupies a large amount of land, it is not a villain's, not a minority.

Even in the 21st century, there are still a large number of intellectuals crying out for the landlord class and capitalists, and sacrificing land, confusing the concepts of class and individual, saying that not every landlord and capitalist is a bad person, and it is unreasonable to overturn a boat with a stick , irrational and so on.

Liu Xie has seen too many things like this, and has a strong enough ability to discriminate.

Whether you are a ranger or a scholar, you all have to eat.

They don't support the gentle and refined Yuan Shao who raised them, do they support the vulgar vulgar vagabond who has nothing to eat?

Those who have a conscience and are willing to take action to benefit the poor are a minority after all.After reading a few books, they regard themselves as masters, and there are countless people who want to enlighten others at every turn.

The equality of all living beings is just lip service, and they are resolutely unwilling to make them equal to the general public.

Such disputes have existed before, exist now, and will continue to exist in the future.

Liu Xie has enough clear understanding and is also mentally prepared for a protracted war.

The debate was fruitless, but it made people aware of the complexity of the problem.Everyone has different angles and opinions, and they are deeply rooted. It is difficult to simply persuade, and there must be a fierce confrontation in the court.

Zhuge Liang and others also made psychological preparations.

-

As expected by Liu Xie, two days later, Zhang Xi's memorial was sent to Chang'an in an expedited [-] miles.

Most of the content was within Liu Xie's expectations, and it was nothing more than Yuan Shu's unreliability, so he couldn't act too hastily, forcing the Shandong scholar-bureaucrats to Yuan Shao's side in the Lujiang River.

There is only one thing that is unexpected.

Even if something like Yuan Shu's ambush of Yan Liang happened, Yuan Shao still accepted the peace agreement and submitted a letter of confession as the prefect of Bohai to plead guilty.

Liu Xie originally thought that Yuan Shao would be furious and carry it to the end.

Can you bear this?Liu Xie was somewhat disappointed.

Yuan Benchu, are you worthy of Li Ying and Fan Pang?The face of the party members has been lost by you.

Before convening the court meeting, Liu Xie talked to Yang Biao, Zhao Wen, Liu Ba and others successively to ask their opinions, and sent someone to Hedong to ask Xun Yu's opinion.

Yang Biao and Zhao Wen had roughly the same opinion.They were in favor of trying to save land in Lujiang, but they opposed Yuan Shu's continued stay in Yangzhou.

The reason is very simple, Yuan Shu's success is accidental, and bad things are inevitable.Even if it is a good thing for him to ask to live in Lujiang, he will definitely screw it up in the end.

Yang Biao also made a further explanation.

Yuan Shu does things according to his mood and has no principles.Don't think he wants to save the land now, if someone asks him to support him as the head of the Yuan family and oppose Yuan Shao, the condition is that he is exempted from saving the land, and Yuan Shu will most likely agree.

Yang Biao also said, I didn't say this, but my wife, Yuan Shu's own sister.

Therefore, if Your Majesty really wants to try to save the land in Lujiang, then he should transfer Yuan Shu away from Yangzhou.

The same is true of Zhao Wen's attitude.

Liu Xie thought about it carefully, and felt that what they said was reasonable, and then asked, how should Yuan Shu be arranged?

The attitude of Yang Biao and Zhao Wen is to call Yuan Shu back to Beijing to idle, and tell him not to cause trouble, and forget about being a rich man.

But Liu Ba put forward another suggestion that seemed a little out of place, to transfer Yuan Shu to Youzhou Shepherd.
