Chapter 2910
Of course, Princess Anqi knew that when Xiahouji came to see her, she must have come to negotiate, so she just deliberately scared Xiahouji.
So he asked: "What are the bargaining chips you brought?"
Xiahou Ji said tremblingly: "When he returned to the princess, the empress knew that she was old and was powerless in the affairs of the government, so she decided to abdicate and give way to Princess Diewu, and Princess Diewu succeeded to the throne and take charge of the Beiyi regime."
"And all the civil and military officials and nobles in the court knew that the rebel army had developed to an uncontrollable level. If they fought against the rebel army to the end, the northern barbarians would inevitably suffer."
"For the sake of the country of the Northern Yi for generations, all officials and nobles decided to compromise with the rebel army, and were willing to hand over half of their wealth and pastures, and to the rebel army, to share them equally among the people of the world, and to increase the treatment of civilians in the future. The nobles should not slave civilians or trample on civilians again.
, treat everyone equally, and are all people of Beiyi. I wonder what Princess Anqi wants?”
Nalan Anqi thought something.
Logically speaking, it is very rare and valuable for officials and nobles to make such a big concession, and they should agree.
However, so many civilians fought bloody battles, they got half of the wealth and half of the land of the nobles. This was obviously not enough. If they agreed, they could not explain to the rebels, and they could not explain to the civilians.
So she looked at Xiao Zhan and asked, "What do the Grand Marshal think about the conditions offered by the court?"
Xiao Zhan said: "Half of the wealth does not need to be given to the civilians, but to the court to build the Beiyi so that all the people in the Beiyi can live in wooden houses. All the ranches must be handed over, and the ranches will be divided according to the population, if the nobles are in the hands of
If you have many pastures, you can still enslave civilians, and there will be various conflicts in the future."
Nalan Anqi thought about it carefully and thought Xiao Zhan’s proposal was good.
If wealth is distributed to the hands of civilians, some people will not use it to build houses and squander it, and then they will be empty-handed, not to mention that civilians have too much money, which is not conducive to civilians' struggle.
It is undoubtedly the best to hand over the wealth to the court and to arrange the construction of a house in a unified manner so that all people in the world can live in the house.
As for ranches, it is more distributed to civilians, which is conducive to civilians' struggle.
"Supply all the ranch, this is not OK!" Xiahou Ji vetoed and said angrily: "The ranch is the foundation passed down by the nobles. Why should I hand over it all? Just like the common people, it is divided according to the population? For the nobles, this is for the nobles.
Too unfair!”
Xiao Zhan said: "The vast majority of the ranch are stolen from the civilians. Then, relying on the ranch, we have created a lot of wealth for your nobles."
"Now that your nobles have wealth, shouldn't they return more ranches to the civilians?"
"Even if the ranches are rented to you nobles by civilians, the interest rate will be several times higher over thousands of years, right? You just return the ranches belonging to civilians and give a little more interest, so where can you suffer?"
"this..."
Xiahouji was speechless.
Xiao Zhan said firmly: "The condition of this general is that all the ranchs are divided equally with the nobles and civilians, and they can be rented but not bought or sold. Half of the wealth is handed over to the court to establish the New Taipei Yi, so that civilians can have small buildings to live in."
"If you nobles can accept it, the war can stop there. If you don't accept it, then I will lead the rebel army and make an effort to kill all of your nobles directly, and seize the wealth and ranch of your nobles!"
"As for accepting it or not, you can consider it yourself and give me a reply within three days. If I don't get the reply within three days, I will order the entire Beiyi nobles to be crushed!"
After saying that, Xiao Zhan ordered the army to camp on the spot.
The Minister of Revenue did not dare to say anything more, so he could only return to the imperial capital and tell the empress, officials, and nobles about the results of the negotiations.
"Half of the wealth, all the ranch, is too much!"
"This is to remove our nobles from the bottom of the pot!"
"If we agree, our nobles will not even have a ranch, and we will still be a nonsense!"
"This Xiao Zhan is so cruel. How could he speak so hard!"
