The two of them followed the sound and found that it was Xiao Xian who was laughing.
Seeing Gao Zongxian's unhappy expression, Mu Qingfeng vented his dissatisfaction:
"You eunuch, it is an honor for His Highness to allow you to take charge of the government. How dare you interrupt?"
Gao Zongxian was deeply convinced. He thought he could finally defeat Xiao Xian, but unexpectedly Xiao Xian stepped forward with a smile:
"Sorry, this plan is so ridiculous that I couldn't help but laugh out loud."
As a Chinese medicine doctor in his previous life, Xiao Xian also read a lot of ancient texts in order to be able to understand medical books.
Coupled with the learning insights of later generations, he thought he had some suggestions for this kind of thing.
Mu Qingfeng's plan sounds good at first glance. It is a good thing that kills three birds with one stone!
But is this really the case?
If you want to change rice to mulberry, you must have a high degree of centralization of power in the court at that time, and the ruling emperor must be ruthless. In addition, the people must also agree.
These three points are indispensable.
As for the current Emperor of Chu, he had some iron-blooded methods when he founded the country, but now he is in his twilight years and has become a hero in his twilight years, with more than enough ambition and insufficient strength.
In addition, Dachu had just been founded, and it was a time when internal and external troubles were constant, and everything was waiting to be revitalized, let alone the peak of centralization.
It’s good to be able to quell local rebellions, but how about changing rice to mulberry? joke!
At this time, Mu Qingfeng was really angry. Xiao Xian's words undoubtedly trampled on the results of the hard thinking of His Majesty and his ministers!
"I wonder what this father-in-law has to say?"
Mu Qingfeng thought it would embarrass Xiao Xian, but Xiao Xian asked directly:
"May I ask Master Mu, was this strategy proposed by His Majesty? Or was it proposed by the ministers?"
"It's the right prime minister."
Mu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and said: "The right prime minister is the leader of the ministers of Chu, how dare you question it?"
"Okay, I would like to ask if there will be any controversy among officials after this strategy is proposed?"
"It's normal for ministers to have different political opinions and have disputes. If my father-in-law wants to ask something, he can point it out directly."
"Okay." Xiao Xian nodded helplessly. It was exactly as he guessed. The person who made the plan was also a fool.
"Then let me ask again, is the initially selected implementation location a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River?"
"how do you know?"
Mu Qingfeng was shocked. Did the eunuch infer this by himself? Or was someone leaking the secret to him?
As early as the dispersion of the dynasty, he came to report as soon as the Holy Emperor returned to the palace. Even if something was leaked, it would not be possible so quickly. He still let an internal affairs eunuch of the East Palace know.
Xiao Xian did not answer, but continued to ask: "Master Mu was born in a poor family, so he must not be able to fully integrate into the circle of courtiers, right?"
"At present, most of the courtiers in Da Chu come from the gentry and wealthy families of the previous dynasty, and they have influence in various places."
"Do you believe it, sir, that as long as His Majesty's decree is issued, those officials will purchase fertile land in various parts of Chu State in advance, and even conspire with businessmen to lower the price of land and plunder it?"
"In order to achieve political achievements, he even did not hesitate to destroy dams, flood farmland, and put thousands of people in dire straits?"
"It's only a short time before the Kingdom of Chu is established, and the people of the world are not yet at peace, and something like this will happen again. Guess... will it cause a civil uprising, so that--"
"enough!"
Mu Qingfeng was trembling with cold sweat all over his back.
Xiao Xian's words reminded him of why he followed Emperor Chu to rebel. Wasn't it because corrupt officials were rampant in the place and he couldn't survive?
And Xiao Xian's calculations can be said to be accurate to the minds of those officials, and it may not even be enough. Driven by interests, they will not care about the life and death of Da Chu!
It is precisely because of this that he no longer dares to underestimate Xiao Xian at this moment.
The two people's minds seemed to collide. After looking at each other, they could see the shock in each other's eyes.
Especially Gao Zongxian, who looked at Xiao Xian with surprise.
A mere eunuch looks like a gangster, how can he have such vision?
Especially a fake eunuch, who sent him here? !
