"How could I not know how difficult this is?"

The prefect Bao looked a little unhappy again. Looking at him, this student named Chen Kaizhi was just a scholar with little knowledge after all. After encountering difficulties, he was scared.

After pausing, the prefect Bao said, "It is precisely because of the difficulties that we need to face them, right?"

Chen Kaizhi naturally could only nod: "Yes."

"Hmm?" Although Chen Kaizhi nodded and said yes, Prefect Bao saw that Chen Kaizhi's expression was not true recognition. He couldn't help but stare at Chen Kaizhi with a steady look: "What else do you have to say?"

Chen Kaizhi didn't want to say that, but after the Prime Minister Bao asked, he became calm and said, "Justice said just now that he should be pragmatic and not simplified. But to the students, after the Fu Zun took office, he had to rectify these two points, but he was simplified."

Is this a retreat?

Obviously, the prefect Bao could not hold his face anymore, and he still looked straight at Chen Kaizhi, with a gloomy face and said, "Oh? Is that right? Then come and have a look."

Chen Kaizhi said seriously: "To encourage farmers, the Duke Zun has far-reaching concerns. This book is not wrong. Now many families have changed grain to mulberry for what it is for profit. Because the same acre of land, planting mulberry and hemp is more valuable than grain. Therefore, in order to prevent it, does the Duke Zun plan to ban mulberry and hemp?"

Bao Gongfu stroked his beard: "It's just that."

Chen Kaizhi sighed and said, "Then the students have a few questions, so I would like to ask the emperor for advice. First, has the government used powerful means to change mulberry into grain?"

Prefect Bao said coldly: "It's the same as well."

Chen Kaizhi shook his head, but smiled.

Prefect Bao looked at Chen Kaizhi's deep expression, and his face became even worse.

He was a new official, and these two points were the two important policy policies he had been thinking about on his way to the office, but now he was questioned by a young scholar, which inevitably made him unhappy.

It seems that this is another scholar who only knows how to talk about it, and it is indeed not worthy of its name.

But Chen Kaizhi said again: "Then, most of the fields in Jinling are planted, and next year will be a bumper year, and the grain production will increase by 30% or even 40%. What do you think?"

Prefect Bao said solemnly: "This is the best thing."

Chen Kaizhi shook his head again and said, "But have you ever thought that low grain will hurt farmers? The market price of grain this year is 1,300 yuan per stone of rice. Once a bumper harvest occurs, coupled with the increase in grain fields, what will happen to the rice price?"

Suddenly, the prefect Bao was speechless.

Chen Kaizhi continued: "There is too much grain, so it will naturally be worthless. This year it will be 1,300 yuan. Once it plummets, it will even reach 7,800 yuan. Think about it, the price of the grain collected by farmers is cut in half. Although rice can fill the stomach, the income has been reduced. In another year, will anyone still be willing to cultivate carefully? According to students' opinions, once the rice price plummets, it will inevitably greatly dampen the enthusiasm of farmers to collect food. Then, these fields cannot grow mulberry and hemp, but can only grow grain. If it is fertile fertile land, it is fine, but if those barren fields cannot collect much grain, they still need to waste manpower to take care of it, the value they collect is negligible, I am afraid that by then, many grain fields will be deserted."

"So, the students think that it is not wrong for adults to persuade farmers. The government master wants to be pragmatic, and it is not wrong for them to be pragmatic. However, ignoring the rules and not clearing and guiding them, but blindly forcing them to grow grain, the final result may be counterproductive. Of course, this is just the students' shallow view, which makes adults laugh."

Prefect Bao was speechless. He felt that he had the big reason and still stubbornly thought that Chen Kaizhi was wrong, but if he wanted to refute it, he felt that he could not refute it.

Chen Kaizhi smiled at this time and said, "As for attacking salt vendors, this book is not wrong, but now Jinling's military preparations are abolished, and it is very difficult to attack. The so-called sharpening of the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, and private salt is rampant. Students think there are two reasons. First, salt vendors take risks in order to make huge profits. Second, it may not be that local officials refuse to use their lives. In fact, although local officials want to eliminate them, they have no soldiers available. Once they want to train troops to rectify, they are not under their responsibilities. If they want to solve the problem of private salt, they can only ask for an order, ask the court to be extra merciful, train the official army that specializes in suppressing the thieves, and perform their duties. Only in this way can this be eradicated."

Now, the face of the prefect Bao can't be put down. OK, you, Chen Kaizhi, excused these local officials everywhere. Why, you are in the same group?

The man Bao, who has always been honest and decisive in his work, could not stand what Chen Kaizhi called a slow plan? But in terms of eloquence, he is not a match for Chen Kaizhi, because Chen Kaizhi's words are impeccable.

After thinking about it, he was a little angry and angry, and then said sternly: "Hmph, these are all words of ruling. I want to shirk responsibility. Since I am governing Jinling, this is related to my mansion. I just say it is OK. As for Chen Shengyuan..."

Prefect Bao wanted to scold a few words, but he thought of Chen Kai's contribution to plague, so he didn't say this after all. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would have cursed directly, but just said: "Chen Shengyuan is still young, and it is our responsibility to suppress the thieves. You can study with peace of mind."

Reading with peace of mind means getting out of your mud. You little kid dare to show off your skills.

Chen Kaizhi was not angry either. He knew that Prefect Bao was a cheerful person and had a good mind, so he didn't care. He just returned to his seat calmly.

The prefect Bao was in a bad mood, and then he naturally scolded him again. The officials in the entire mansion were scolded so much that they dared not look up.

Until the end, the prefect Bao said in a deep impression: "You can put aside the matter of persuading farmers. Now this private salt dealer is an urgent task and must not relax. All counties need to crack down on them. If they are lazy, I will punish them. But if they are futile, I will not give you good looks in front of me. Naturally, if I have made contributions to suppressing the thieves, I will naturally report to him, report to the court, and wait for the court to reward him, especially the Three-Eyed King, who posts a list. If anyone can seize it, not only will the court have a good decree, but also the government will have a generous gift."

Three-eyed King...

Who dares to make a decision? All the generous gifts and rewards are fake. The court has repeatedly issued orders to arrest them. Why can people still get away with the law for so many years?

But Prefect Bao looked like he had made up his mind and finally said bluntly: "Okay, let's go back."

Then everyone stood up as if they were amnesty and said goodbye to the prefect Bao, and then they all left with a depressed look on their faces.

Chen Kaizhi also came out with the abortion, but the prefect Bao suddenly said behind his back: "Student Chen Kaizhi, stay."
