After the meeting of the great dynasty was over, Zhang Dun, Su Che, Cai Bian, Li Qingchen, Zeng Bu... all stayed behind.

They all got the news that the imperial court was preparing to open overseas fiefdoms, allowing merchants to purchase fiefdom rights.

After the emperor walked from the corridor of the Purple City Palace to the Chui Gong Palace, the ministers also followed.

When Zeng Bu arrived at the place, he found a tall figure. At first he thought he had seen it wrong. He rubbed his eyes and found Li Kui who was still there.

Zeng Bu was surprised and said: "Li Kui, why are you here...!"

"Master Zeng, I'm back!" Li Kui smiled brightly. Faced with Zeng Bu, a slippery guy, Li Kui tried to make a move several times but never had a chance. He had to be careful.

Zeng Bu looked around, as if everyone else was used to it, and suddenly felt angry. It turned out that he didn't know.

As the leader of the ministers, Zhang Dun said: "We, the Song Dynasty, are now in a difficult situation. The battles with Liao and Xixia are at a critical period. If we increase taxes now, we are afraid that the people will be trapped. If we don't increase taxes, the border army officers and soldiers will be trapped in military expenditures."

The current solution is to find another way and adopt the open source method."

“How to open source?”

As a conservative, Su Che did not have hatred for Wang Anshi and others. He just stood on a different stance in terms of governance.

The biggest advantage of Wang Anshi's reform that attracted Emperor Shenzong was open source.

But the liberalization of the reform faction actually increased the burden on the people. This is an indisputable fact. To be more precise, the people's money that was originally exploited by local gentry was exchanged for the imperial court to collect.

This kind of open source will inevitably be strongly opposed by the gentry.

When Su Che heard Zhang Dun talking about open source, he immediately became alert and believed that Zhang Dun was going to cause trouble.

However, Zhang Dun ignored Su Che and others at all, and talked about himself, mostly based on Li Kui's theory. Opening up overseas fiefdoms, giving merchants the qualifications to purchase fiefdoms, and cultivating overseas fiefdoms at the same time.

However, in order to increase its attractiveness, the emperor also tried his best. At Li Kui's suggestion, he expanded Zongzheng and turned it into a House of Nobles to manage the sense of loss that merchants who paid big prices were still unable to serve as officials after receiving titles.

This is very attractive and can also increase the attractiveness of overseas fiefdoms.

If you spend millions of dollars and end up as a bitch, the businessman will not be stupid.

But if you spend several million to be related to the emperor, it is definitely worth the money.

Zhang Dun felt that he had said enough, and immediately asked: "I think Ryukyu will be divided into five parts, with a total price of 20 million yuan. In addition, Liaodong will also be used as an overseas fiefdom, and will be used as a bidding target... There is no limit to the price."

As soon as he said this, someone roared: "You traitors and traitors, selling the court's credit in this way will shake the foundation of the Song Dynasty?"

Zhang Dun originally focused all his attention on Su Che. He felt that Su Che was the one most likely to cause trouble.

But when he heard the voice of opposition coming from behind, he turned around and saw Zeng Bu raising his arms and shouting. He was embarrassed that he didn't stop in time. It was obvious that he had been grudged against him for a long time. Realizing that he was being targeted by Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu

Feeling a little guilty, his eyes drifted to Lin Xida and said: "Lin Shangshu, please say a few words!"

"Your Majesty, I think Prime Minister Zhang is far-sighted, and I second my opinion!" Lin Xi has been left out by Zhang Dun ever since she got involved with Xing Shu.

Logically speaking, even if she wanted to express her determination, Lin Xi should not be the one to go.

Zeng Bu stood next to Lin Xi and asked in a low voice: "Why?"

Lin Xi's eyes drifted to the beams, and he said leisurely: "My family runs a shipyard."

If overseas fiefdoms are really established, all the shipyards in the Song Dynasty will benefit. The same is true for Lin Xi's shipyard. Besides, he is from Fuzhou, and Ryukyu is across the sea from Fujian Road. Presumably even if some businessmen want to

If you want to buy overseas fiefdoms, at least those who buy Ryukyu are mostly businessmen on Fujian Road.

He can't get along with the people in his hometown. It's true that he is an official outside.

But he should always go back to his hometown!

Even if he doesn't return to his hometown, where will the family members be?
