Chapter 2376 The black robe was originally a cultivator
Bai Hu blinked: "Why do you have to be in Wu land and not somewhere else?"
Xuanwu said sternly: "Jiangbei and Jingzhou are too close to the Hulu. They are war-defended places and will face wars from time to time. Therefore, both the manor of the aristocratic family and the main altar of Tianshi Dao are located in Wu. Besides, Wu
The beautiful mountains and rivers, many famous mountains and rivers, and many precious medicinal materials are unique here. It is not only convenient for aristocratic families to carry out manor-style production and development, but also a good place for those who are looking for immortals to get miraculous medicines, such as the many medicinal materials of Wushisan.
They are all obtained from these spiritual mountains in Wu."
Suzaku laughed: "So, the purpose of this black robe is to cultivate immortality and attain Taoism? But it is said that this outsider does not care about the worldly affairs, but why is he so keen on engaging in various conspiracies and tricks, and even takes the initiative to do so?
What about stirring up all kinds of disputes?"
Qinglong said thoughtfully: "Probably only by letting others fight with each other and without a powerful centralizing court can he be allowed to live freely and happily in Wudi. I don't know if he is a member of the Tianshi Dao, but if not,
Even if the demon thief rebels at that time and finally becomes powerful, he will continue to cause internal fighting among the demon thief and prevent him from truly controlling everything."
Xuanwu nodded: "Now our goals should be consistent with this black robe. If Liu Yu becomes dominant, it will harm the interests of our family. Moreover, this incident proves that in Liu Yu's eyes, for the family that is his enemy,
That's a very harsh attack. Even if it's to protect ourselves, we can't let Liu Yu do whatever he wants. Do you have any opinions on this?"
Zhuque said without hesitation: "This is inevitable. I have said a long time ago that you cannot be too indulgent towards Liu Yu. You must be restrained and restrained." At this point, he curled his lips and looked at Qinglong.
He Baihu: "It's a pity that some people don't see it this way."
Qinglong said in a deep voice: "Wang Yu is seeking death on his own. What Liu Yu is doing now does not go against his usual behavior. I don't think it is a big deal. Next, Liu Yu will definitely go on the Northern Expedition. The children of our family can join the army and make meritorious deeds.
It is not a bad thing to strive for more military honors and rights. Lord Baihu, what do you think?"
Bai Hu smiled slightly: "You are right. From what I have learned, Liu Yu's next goal is to move the tenant farmers and villagers in Wudi Manor to the north of the Yangtze River to establish farming in preparation for the Northern Expedition. Death of Wang Yu
, On the one hand, it is because he really deserves to die, but on the other hand, it is also to establish his authority so that people will not dare to oppose his next actions."
Zhuque laughed: "Look, look, I'm right, he really has an idea on our heads. These tenants all owe money to our noble families and have to work and farm to redeem their debts."
, why should he be asked to conscript the army? Last time, Sima Yuanxian wanted to move the tenants and take possession of them, but the result was a chaos in Tianshi Dao. Does he want to do it again? "
Xuanwu's eyes flashed coldly: "Master Baihu, is this news true?"
Bai Hu nodded: "This is something Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi have discussed, and it has already started. In the past two days, Liu Muzhi transferred Xie Hui, Fu Liang and others under the pretext of handling Wang Yu's rebellion case.
In the past, on the one hand, they were asked to charge Wang Yu and others with colluding with the remnants of the Tianshi Dao demon thieves and intending to commit rebellion; on the other hand, they were also asked to start an inventory of the current population of the various states and counties in Wudi, especially those of high-ranking families.
With the number of tenant farmers under the names of local tycoons in Men and Wu, it is obvious that they are about to start doing this."
Qinglong frowned: "Although the motive is good and it is for the sake of the Northern Expedition, we can't just rob whoever we want. These tenant farmers have contracts with major aristocratic families and have debts. He can't
Just say something out of thin air and let people go to Jiangbei. Who will make up for the loss of the noble family?"
Baihu said calmly: "Wang Hong, Wang Xun's son, is now working in Liu Yu's shogunate. Liu Muzhi arranged for him to count the existing treasury inventory, calculate how much money there is, and prepare to use the money to give to the tenant farmers.
As long as they pay back the money of the noble family, they will be free, but they will have to work for the imperial court, farm in the north of the Yangtze River, and pay back the money with taxes."
Xuanwu frowned: "Now that the imperial court has been established, His Majesty has not returned to Beijing yet, and the money in the inventory is simply not enough, so he can barely keep the imperial court running. How can he use the money to redeem the tenant farmers?"
Bai Hu smiled slightly: "If only about 100,000 people immigrated to Jiangbei in the beginning, that is to say, there were 20,000 or 30,000 households in the past, that would be 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. This money can be recovered from Jingzhou and used the government treasury deposits in various places, plus
The tax revenue of these two years can be used. Besides, for the Northern Expedition, Mr. Xie also offered 30 million yuan to let Diao Kui buy the position of governor of Southern Yanzhou. Now the descendants of the aristocratic family cannot get the title without merit.
There is no official position, if Liu Yu sells some false posts such as long history, Sima, etc., wouldn’t he be able to make money?”
Suzaku was stunned: "Can this operation still be possible?"
Bai Hu sneered: "Don't really think that Liu Yu is just a country bumpkin who doesn't understand anything. There are many capable people around him. Besides, Wu is now pacified, and the estates of major aristocratic families have to start communicating normally.
Taxes, this year will generate tens of millions of money. If there is a temporary truce, in less than two years, the court will be able to accumulate a lot of money, and it can completely immigrate hundreds of thousands of Jiangnan tenants to Jiangbei."
Suzaku said sternly: "Absolutely not. If everyone runs away, then who will do the work for us? He wants to buy it, but we won't sell it."
Xuanwu curled his lips and said calmly: "Master Zhuque, please be patient. Liu Yu has great power in his hands now. If he really wants to do this, it will be difficult to directly confront him formally. However, I have something to ask.
Yes, that was the last rebellion in Tianshi Dao. It was because the tenant farmers were unwilling to leave the manor where they had lived for many years. Now that the war has finally been calmed down, Wudi has also gained a rare peace, and people have calmed down. At this time, people are forcibly moved to
Aren't you afraid of another unrest in Jiangbei? Besides, what will the tenant farmers do for a living after they move there?"
Baihu sighed: "There are many unowned lands in the north of the Yangtze River. It has always been a vast area with few people. As long as there are people, there can be output. Just like the kind of industrial management Liu Yu has recently engaged in in Jiankang City, people
Centralize them, conduct unified training, and then sell them in branches with unified pricing.”
"The reason why Wudi's production capacity and grain output are higher than other places is not that the land here is better than other places, but that the manor production itself is such concentrated farming, which can be achieved in terms of water sources, irrigation, including seeds.
The highest efficiency. After arriving in Jiangbei, production on a village basis could also be organized in the name of the imperial court. Moreover, it was tax-free for three years, and the prices of rice and raw silk purchased by the imperial court were higher than elsewhere, thus encouraging tenant farmers to actively immigrate there.
This is the essential difference between his immigrants and Sima Yuanxian!"
