Chapter 950: Considerations for the Future (Part 1)

The second-story building boat was floating on the water. Around him, several other boats, large or small, could only intentionally or unintentionally gather the building boat in the middle. In addition, on the vast West Lake, looking around, there were almost no other ships.

The ship in the middle is naturally Li Ze, Xu Xiang and others, and the ships around seem to have nothing special from the outside, but the cabin is filled with a fully armed soldier.

Li Ze's lake tour today,

Li Mi almost plowed the route Li Ze was going to pass several times. Now, even underwater, there are many water ghosts wearing tight water besides, holding ventilating tubes, and following them all the way underwater.

After Gaomi's assassination, Li Ze's security level was instantly improved by several levels. The return of his old boss Li Mi also made all the officers and soldiers of the personal guard camp feel awe-in. Compared with Li Gan and Li Peng, Li Mi's prestige is self-evident.

At this moment, Li Peng was taking the helm himself, while Li Mi was sitting at the bow of the boat. As for Tian Bo, he didn't know where he went.

Inside the cabin, there was a scent of fragrance floating out.

Cao Zhang was holding a rod and was fishing. Several harvests had been gained in the small bucket beside him. Xu Xiangze rolled up his sleeves and killed fish where to wash fish. Chen Wenliang sat on a small stool and was helping Li Ze. Yang Kai could only stare at them with wide eyes and swallow his saliva after smelling the fragrance in the pot.

Li Ze was cooking in person.

Today's main dish is West Lake vinegar fish, which is fished and cooked immediately. When you arrive at the shore of West Lake, you don't eat West Lake vinegar fish. Wouldn't it be a waste of this trip?

Xu Xiang skillfully used the kitchen knife to slap the fish head-on, and broke the belly and took the internal organs. Then he pressed his hand on the fish body. The kitchen knife passed by his palm, and almost a whole piece of fish scales were taken down by him. In a few days, a clean fish appeared in front of Li Ze.

As the governor of Zhejiang, he naturally often made the West Lake vinegar fish that the master made the most authentic, but he was still a little excited today. After all, it was Li Xiang who cooked by himself, and such treatment was not something that anyone could get. No matter whether he was doing it properly or not, Xu Xiang decided to cheer loudly at that time. This did not matter whether it was flattery, but a kind of affirmation of his superiors being willing to do such things for his subordinates.

Of course, the dishes on the table would not be the only West Lake vinegar fish, and the other side dishes had been prepared long ago.

The best ham meat is cut into extremely thin, almost transparent slices, and is divided into pieces in the plate. In the middle of the plate, there are prepared seasonings. Spices are added to the seasonings and small peppers that are currently grown in small scales in the north. They have heavy flavors and can be eaten with seasonings. If the flavor is light, you can pick them up and eat them directly.

Longjing shrimp, clear soup, Yue Chicken, dry fried bells, steamed pork with lotus leaf paste, western paste water shield soup, stir-fried lotus root tape, and two plates of West Lake drunk fish. Xu Xiang, who was sitting at the table, was so moved that she was almost crying.

Because these dishes are all famous dishes in Zhejiang, and Li Ze has never been to Zhejiang before, but he seems to be very skillful in making these dishes. Obviously, they are not learned and sold immediately after they arrived in Zhejiang. Although Li Xiang has long been known as the most delicious.

In Xu Xiang's opinion, I'm afraid that Li Xiang went to learn from someone to make today's meal. And the real customer of this meal is probably the only one of them.

People like Yang Kai, Cao Zhang, Chen Wenliang are all close ministers around Li Ze, and they are really unacceptable to guests.

Li Ze naturally did not expect that his actions would make the official in front of him cry. He really knows how to cook these dishes, but he has never had the chance to cook them before.

Xu Xiang did the job of pouring wine.

Chen Wenliang, who was the lowest in the field, should have done these things, but this guy was still limping on one leg and could only sit on one side.

Jiaxing's rice wine was filled with crystal clear glass cups. Xu Xiang held the cup with both hands and said to Li Ze: "Li Xiang, I won't say much. I just hope that Li Xiang can defeat the world as soon as possible. We can follow Li Xiang to create a peaceful world. In this way, it will be better to come to this world. I will do it first."

He raised his neck and drank the rice wine in his glass until it was gone.

"This is what we want!" Yang Kai, Cao Zhang, and Chen Wenliang also raised their glasses to Li Ze together.

Li Ze smiled and accepted everyone's wishes. After drinking the wine in the glass, he personally picked up the wine pot and filled it with everyone one by one. He said, "It seems that he will not be very willing to do it until the day of success. Li is also quite confident in establishing a peaceful world. However, today, I have a topic to discuss with you."

After sitting down, Li Ze picked up a piece of fish and put it on the small plate next to Xu Xiang. "I have asked several people for the same question, including Xu Ziyuan, Zhang Xun, etc., but they have not given me a satisfactory answer so far."

"Please give Li Xiang the advice!" Xu Xiang said seriously. Xu Ziyuan and Zhang Xun were all players promoted by Li Ze. In terms of talent and knowledge, they would not be worse than themselves. Xu Xiang cheered up and looked at Li Ze intently, afraid that this question would be really difficult to do. But if he did it seriously, he could suppress these two people in Li Xiang's heart.

"Try the dishes I cook first?" Li Ze smiled and pointed to the dishes on the table. "Let's eat dishes, drink and talk about things."

Xu Xiang took the fish and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully. He couldn't help but admire him. Li Xiang deserves to be famous for eating, and this West Lake vinegar fish is actually extremely authentic.

"It is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to defend the world. But I have never wanted to establish a dynasty that will never be easy forever since ancient times." Li Ze took a shrimp and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly while watching everyone say.

Xu Xiang was shocked. He never expected that Li Ze would ask such a question. No wonder Xu Ziyuan and Zhang Xunzhicai could not answer it.

This question is too big and there seems to be no answer.

Since ancient times, the wise and powerful emperors have produced countless emperors. As powerful as the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, they cannot avoid the destruction of the prosperous dynasty. History is like a wheel of a car, which will always return to the origin in rotation. Destruction again and again, rebirth from the fire again and again, and the phoenix nirvana.

But since Li Ze asked, Xu Xiang was unwilling to remain silent. He turned his wine glass and thought for a while before he slowly said: "Li Xiang, in the political economy you compiled personally, you once said that the rise and fall of dynasties are all because of the product of stage struggle. The rise of a dynasty was caused by the outbreak of revolution after class contradictions intensified to a certain extent. And this new dynasty will slowly move towards the path of class solidification in his later years, thus triggering another cycle. So I think that if I want to delay this process, I can only start from this aspect."

Xu Xiang said it was delaying, but he did not agree that there was a dynasty that could not be easy forever.

Li Ze smiled and nodded. Xu Xiang's thoughts were one step further than Zhang Xun and Xu Ziyuan.

“Summary.”

"And many of Li Xiang's current national policies seem to be focusing on this aspect." Xu Xiang said: "The current land policy can avoid large-scale land annexation, thereby curbing the emergence of powerful landlords, ensuring that the vast majority of citizens can survive on the land and maintain the last bottom line. Vigorously promote commercial activities, relax restrictions on the flow of the people, so that wealth can flow, and let the people have more possibilities to make a fortune. Vigorously open up overseas trade, so that wealth can flow to the country continuously.

Life is better and better. In the eyes of my subordinates, as long as the people's lives get better and better, there will naturally be no rebellion or trouble. Rebellion has always been done by proletarians. Anyone who has assets and lives a comfortable life does not want major changes. Just like the difficulties I encounter in Zhejiang now, the people here realize that they are living a good life and do not want to change the current situation at all. If they can go to Wuyi, Zhenzhou and other places, they are afraid that some ideas will arise in their hearts."

"It makes sense. From the beginning, I have been planning this aspect." Li Ze took a sip of wine and smiled, "But class solidification will also form little by little. Take now for example, the powerful landlords have indeed gradually disappeared under my rule. After the clan society has been continuously attacked by us in the north, it has been in a trend of collapse. In the south, although it may be a little more difficult, it will definitely be solved. However, the new powerful class has been formed, for example,

You all here, for example, those big businessmen who are rich enough to rival a country. These people have power and money, and naturally have better resources. They attach more importance to the cultivation of future generations than ordinary people and are more willing to invest in it. They have many times better social interpersonal circles than ordinary people. There is a saying that goes, people are richer than you, and they work harder than you. If this continues, they are afraid that the state power will still be controlled by the new circle of powerful people. What should they do?”

Xu Xiang suddenly had an inspiration in his mind. Looking at Li Ze, the admiration in his eyes became stronger: "Li Xiang, you have been making changes to this point, right?

"Tell me!" Li Ze said with a smile.

"Popular education, rural education, county education, government education, and all the way to Wuwei Academy, you are using these to open an upward channel for the lower class people. When thousands of people enter the school, there will always be some poor students who stand out. These people are undoubtedly the best group of people. They will all be included in the court and completely change the situation where dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and rats give birth to holes. In the process of improving these people, they will inevitably create fresh blood, but their location is limited. When these people come up, there will inevitably be other people going down. In this way, try to delay the speed of class solidification you mentioned."
