Chapter 2697: Wendi's policy

In the next few days, the most important thing was the discussion between Chen Zixiao and Song Zhiwen.
Since Zhu Feng said that he would leave the matter to Chen Zixiao to handle it, he would not attend from beginning to end. However, after each day of negotiation, Chen Zixiao would still come over and report the negotiation situation and progress to him one by one.
And every time, Nan Yan stayed by his side and listened quietly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of negotiations.
After listening to Chen Zixiao's report, Zhu Feng told him to retreat, then he took a teacup and drank for a while. Nan Yan sat aside and said softly, "What do you think of the emperor?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, and said, "Basically, all the conditions they opened are acceptable to us."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "In fact, this is also good."
"..."
"White Dragon City originally had to pay for their own protection, but now they let their people perform military service every year in exchange for food supplied by the court and open the way to trade. This is a good thing for both sides."
"..."
"However, in this way, the money and goods assigned by the court to Han Dongwei will have to be doubled."
Zhu Feng said: "Originally, Sichuan and Shaanxi were responsible for allocating supplies to Handongwei. Of course, the bulk of it is from Shaanxi. Now, it is natural to let Sichuan contribute more."
Having said that, Zhu Feng took a deep breath.
Said: "The land of Shu was very prosperous in the past, but the war has been chaotic for years, and the impact is not small."
"..."
"So now, my hope is that it is best for the country to settle down. If there is no war, there is no war. Of course, I must also be grateful to Yan Ye for the current situation. It is he who stabilizes the country so that the people can rest and rest.
"..."
"According to this situation, if the land of Shu can be restored to its former state, the taxes of the court will be increased by at least 20%."
"..."
"The money and food here is not a problem."
Nan Yan said: "So, the emperor sent Liu Yueze over?"
Zhu Feng said: "He is a literati. In this case, the literati can do well in Shu."
Nan Yan felt that his tone seemed to have some other meaning, turned his head and glanced at him, and saw that his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his eyes were deep, as if he was worried about something.
Nan Yan thought for a while and said softly: "That night, the emperor said that there was something on Wei Wang's side. What is it?"
"..."
"Can you talk to my concubine?"
"..."
When mentioning this, Zhu Feng's brows frowned again.
Nan Yan immediately realized that he was right.
She whispered: "The emperor?"
Zhu Feng did not answer her immediately, but was silent for a while, put the teacup in his hand back on the table, and then said Shen Shen, "He asked for an order to reduce the land tax in Jiangnan."
"..."
"Moreover, I hope the court will make it so that the gentry in Jiangnan will take out their land and distribute it to the farmers for farming."
Nan Yan blinked and said, "This is a good thing."
"Good thing?"
Zhu Feng said coldly: "With the reduction of the land tax, where does the court's income come from?"
"..."
"Let the gentry separate the land, do they have such a good talk?"
Nan Yan said softly: "However, if the emperor's previous assumptions, including the current plan to manage the Western Regions, are successful, the court's annual income, especially the income from business, should be able to fill this part."
"..."
"Furthermore, in order to move the capital, the construction of palaces and cities did increase a lot of taxes. The past two years have finally stabilized, and it is time for the people in Jiangnan to recuperate."
Zhu Feng still did not speak.
Nan Yan couldn't help but wonder.
You must know that although Zhu Feng was born in the army and he was a bit stubborn, but he was not stubborn. He was often able to listen to the advice of others, especially regarding strategies for the national economy and the people's livelihood. He has always been able to adopt the opinions of others.
But this time, he seemed reluctant.
Nan Yan tilted his head, looked at him for a long time, and whispered softly: "The emperor? The emperor, what's the matter?"
Zhu Feng's face even became a little gloomy.
After a while, he said, "Do you know that to reduce the land tax and let the gentry take out the land for farmers to cultivate? Who proposed these two policies?"
Nanyan is even more inexplicable.
Said: "Isn't it Wang Wei?"
Zhu Feng snorted coldly and said, "Wang Wei? Before him, someone wanted to execute it."
"..."
Nan Yan thought about it again, and his heart sank.
She suddenly understood why Zhu Feng was reluctant to implement these two policies that were obviously beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood.
Because these two policies were the policies of Emperor Wen when he was in power.
No wonder, Zhu Fenghui has this attitude.
You know, at the beginning, he launched the Battle of Jingnan to seize the mountains and mountains from Emperor Wen. Before Zhu Feng became the throne, he also issued a statement to count the various faults of Emperor Wen. Now, if he wants to restore the policy of his reign, then It's equivalent to hitting yourself in the face.
The emperor's dignity would be completely wiped out.
Not to mention, the emperor's dignity is wiped out and the policies of Emperor Wen are restored, which will also have a great impact on people's hearts.
Even Nanyan knew that Zhu Feng had ascended the throne and retained some officials from the Wendi Dynasty.
This is a kind of encouragement to some forces that originally miss the old master, and even some opposition from the people.
She thought for a while, then stopped talking. She only looked at the tea cup beside Zhu Feng. The tea was almost dry, so she personally went to him and refilled him with some hot water, and whispered: "The weather is getting colder now. Now, the emperor has some hot tea."
"..."
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
Usually, Nan Yan would try his best to persuade him when encountering such things, but today, when she heard about it, she was silent.
On the contrary, Zhu Feng was a little uncomfortable.
However, he picked up the teacup and took a few sips. Drinking the warm tea makes people feel a little more comfortable.
I heard Nan Yan sitting back in the chair, smiling and saying, "In fact, before, my concubine always thought that the emperor likes to fight."
Zhu Feng glanced at her, snorted coldly, and said, "Do you think I am a war madman?"
"..."
"I can only fight, but I don't like to fight."
"..."
"In any war, the soldiers will be damaged. The loss of a soldier is equivalent to the loss of a strong labor for a family, and the remaining old and weak women and children are unsupported. It is a loss; the land that comes immediately is barren, and it is also a loss; I can’t support it and sell the land to the powerful gentry to become a tenant farmer. The rich and powerful gentry impoverishes the imperial state, which is even worse."
"..."
"Isn't this series of accounts okay?"
Nan Yan looked at Zhu Feng quietly, his eyes flickering slightly.
Zhu Feng originally said these things, and his heart was a little heavy. After a long silence, he felt that the people around him were also silent. Turning to look at her, he met her bright eyes.
Smiled and said: "What are you doing looking at me like this?"
