Now, anyone understands that Your Majesty's country has been solid, and after quelling the rebellion, Your Majesty's prestige will be unshakable. Moreover, Your Majesty is strong and not young, and you may sit steadily on this imperial chair in the next few decades.

One emperor and another minister, such an emperor means that all ministers must understand Your Majesty’s preferences and understand Your Majesty’s thoughts. This is what is called “being more favorable to you” and “being more effective”.

So on the surface, only hundreds of people led by King Zhao went to Jibei.

In fact, almost all the ministers had an idea in their minds. If they were still blinded at this time, they had only heard of a place called Jibei, how could their status be stable in this court in the future?

Therefore, everyone has an idea. After returning home today, they will have to try their best to get their children to join the visiting group. Even if they can't get in, they have to find a way to send people to Jibei, and report what they see and hear there, as well as the turbulent movements in Jibei in time.

Some people even vaguely feel that Jibei will be related to everyone's future.

The King of Chu is so thin that he will starve to death in the palace.

After Chen Kaizhi said that, he had already stood up and said slowly to everyone.

"Okay, it's getting late. Please come back, Uncle Zhao, Chen Qing's family, you can stay."

After everyone shouted long live, they came out one after another. At this time, they seemed much more cautious than before, and had a new understanding of this emperor. This emperor is not an ordinary person and must not be despised.

However, Chen Yishou and King Zhao stayed.

Chen Kaizhi first stood up, helped Empress Dowager Mu up, and ordered people to send Empress Dowager Mu back to the bedroom to rest before returning to the hall.

Chen Zhijing immediately wanted to pay tribute to Chen Kai.

Chen Kaizhi waved his hand at him, indicating that he didn't have to be polite, and there were no outsiders at this time.

"Do you know why I mentioned the matter today?"

Chen Zhijing was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I think Your Majesty is taking advantage of the remaining power of pacifying Guanzhong this time..."

"Not bad." Chen Kaizhi smiled, and a smile rippled in his clear eyes.

"But you know, why did I ask Uncle Zhao to go to Jibei?"

Chen Zhijing was silent. He couldn't answer this answer, nor did he think of any reason, so he could only shake his head at Chen Kaizhi.

Chen Kaizhi smiled bitterly and said, "Da Chen has been in the past five hundred years, from the beginning to the peak of the world, and then in the middle, he has experienced many rebellions, several times of revival, and many times of turmoil. But now, although it is still a peaceful country, doesn't Uncle Zhao feel that Da Chen is seriously ill?"

Chen Zhijing thought something and nodded immediately, agreeing very much.

Chen Yishou also agreed very much and said to Chen Kaizhi: "Your Majesty is right, now it is no longer as before. Just say that over the years, a queen mother who only hides behind her has caused such a major consequence. Not only that, over the years, the court has experienced many turmoils and many civil rebellions. I think that Your Majesty is right, Da Chen is already seriously ill."

Chen Kaizhi held his hands behind his back, and his clear eyes looked straight at the beams and pillars of carved beams and painted buildings in the distance, and couldn't help but feel them deeply.

"Five hundred years ago, when Taizu first decided on the world, because the war had just ended, the population of Dachen was less than one million households, but now, there are million households in Guanzhong alone, and the people registered in Dachen have reached 7.33 million households. Compared with Taizu's back then, the population has increased tenfold. Not only that, many aristocratic families and many powerful people in the world have hidden their populations. In order to avoid the collection of food taxes, otherwise, the population will be even greater."

"At the beginning, Emperor Taizu Gao could feed many people as long as he encouraged the people to reclaim land, so that grain production would grow year by year, and eventually enter a prosperous era. But now, in the past two hundred years, well, since Emperor Wen two hundred years ago, when the population was on the list, there were more than five million households, but the grain produced by these more than five million households was the same as the population today. It was terrible. The population was increasing, but the grain had never increased. Why? Because the land that should be reclaimed had long been reclaimed. No matter how much more people increased, the land could not be increased, then the grain production could not be increased."

"In recent years, the court has been in chaos, and local tyrants have taken advantage of the situation. The food has not increased and the population has increased sharply, but the annexation of land has never stopped. Now, the court has encouraged it, but it can barely prevent people from starving to death. But what will happen if they encounter a huge famine?"

Chen Kaizhi looked at Chen Yishou and Chen Zhijing with a sharp look: "You are all people who have read history books. If there is a huge famine, you will naturally understand that this means that people who are hungry will try their best to wander at first, drag their families and become refugees. A large number of refugees will try their best to eat everything they can eat. Once they are about to starve to death, they will even go to eat people and attack all those who can fill their stomachs. The court's laws can restrain them, can they wait for death at home with peace of mind, can they not be hungry, can they be effective in the mantis?"

Chen Kaizhi's eyes became deeper and his face became very heavy, and he actually sighed deeply.

"Now, Da Chen is in this dry firewood. This dry firewood has been accumulated for many years. Fortunately, God blesses. Over the years, although there are occasional minor disasters, there are no major disasters. But... Da Chen has to rely on God's face to maintain this country?"

Chen Kaizhi's face became cold and said word by word to Chen Yishou and King Zhao.

"Da Chen is not as good as other countries. The people of Northern Yan have been fighting for many years, and their population growth is far less than that of Da Chen. They even tried their best to compete with the Hu people for land and barely resettle the population. The Chu people have been robbing the south for the past century, for land. They went south and restored the former Jiaozhi County of the Han Dynasty. Not only that, they occupied Champa, a few years ago, and it is said that it is also a new land of fish and rice. A large number of Chu soldiers and civilians migrated south and resettled. Even the Shu people are the same."

After hearing this, Chen Zhijing and Chen Yishou seemed to frown deeply. They had thought about these things, but they were already worried.

Other countries can find ways to solve these problems, because except for Da Chen, all countries in the world are divided into various corners of the world. Their borders are the Donghu, Xihu, Annan and Chameng people, and they have been expanding over the years.

Although the blood continues to bleed during this process, at the same time, the population is not as rapid as that of Dachen. The slow expansion of territory has also increased a lot of newly reclaimed land.

Chen Kaizhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and another sharp flash suddenly flashed through his eyes. Then he said solemnly: "I understand that I may be able to sit firmly for decades, but I know even more that although this Emperor Taiping can sit for decades, after a hundred years, everything may turn into ashes. The hungry people and refugees will burn everything now. If we ignore this today, then everything will be in vain."

Chen Yishou's body was shocked and he echoed: "Old ministers are also deeply worried about this, so over the years, the old ministers believe that the way to deal with it is to try their best to crack down on the powerful and curb land annexation."

Chen Kaizhi shook his head with a bitter smile, not agreeing.

"This can only cure the root cause, not the root cause. The land of Dachen is limited after all, so... we must try to take a new path to resettle more people who are idle and have no land to reclaim."

Chen Yishou was stunned, obviously not understanding, and asked with a confused look on his face: "Resettlement of refugees?"

Chen Kaizhi nodded slightly and said to Chen Yishou and King Zhao.

"So, we need to develop industry and commerce. There are too many people and insufficient land. Although one person can plant ten acres of land, two people can farm. As a result, both people cannot eat and wear warm clothes. How can this be done? So, why not try your best to attract people to industry and commerce?"

"Just..." Chen Yishou's face changed and he couldn't help but say, "But Your Majesty, if this is the case, I'm afraid that the farmers will be hurt. Then..."

Chen Kaizhi smiled: "Actually, I also know that this is a risky road. Once the people have different places, there will inevitably be a large number of young and strong people entering the city. This will lead to an increase in labor costs in the countryside and will be opposed by many gentry."

Chen Zhijing thought about something, pondered for a moment, and then focused his attention.

"Your Majesty is right. Nowadays, farmers are 30% of landlords. The aristocratic races have land, and they are 70% of them. While 30% of them are employed, they are employed. In fact, in the early years of Taizu, because there were barren land everywhere, the people would rather cultivate themselves than farm for the aristocratic races. In order to attract employed farmers, the aristocratic races had to set the land rent to 64%. Since the aristocratic races only had 40% of the food. However, in recent years, as Your Majesty said, the number of farmers was overcrowded, but the land was limited. Therefore, the land rent increased year by year, and some places even reached the point where the aristocratic races accounted for 80%. Once Your Majesty resettled a large number of young and strong people, the land rent would definitely plummet, and the land price would probably be lost. At that time..."

Chen Kaizhi said coldly: "At that time, dissatisfaction will arise, but if it remains unchanged, it will die sooner or later. If it changes, there may be hope for revival of the world. Since I am the king and father of the world, if I do not seek a way out for the people of the world, I can certainly be greedy for a temporary pleasure, but if this is the case, can my conscience be at peace? Not to mention sorry for my ancestors and ancestors, what I say about the country, what I believe is that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and I will be the emperor, and I must overcome all obstacles."
