Chapter 2379 Take the initiative to cooperate with Jiangbei
Before Xuanwu could speak, Suzaku said in a deep voice: "Why would Liu Yu make such a deal with you? He can use his power to move people away, so why would he continue to let people from aristocratic families manage the immigration to Jiangbei?"
Bai Hu smiled slightly: "Because of the cost and risk of management. Liu Yu can forcibly immigrate to farmland. Not to mention whether Liu Yi and He Wuji also support him, as far as the relationship with the high-ranking family is concerned, forced relocation will definitely happen.
Offending the high-ranking members of the family will eventually lead to various conflicts and the efficiency of execution will be greatly reduced. Moreover, Liu Yu does not have many talents in his hands who can manage the villages and towns of new immigrants in Jiangbei. How can he let his
Brothers from Jingba, are you going to retire and return to your hometown one by one, and manage the villages in Jiangbei according to the military style?"
Xuanwu smiled slightly: "Sir Baihu said it well, running the country is not the responsibility of the eight leaders of Beijing. Liu Yu wants to force immigrants like this. It sounds good, but it will cause huge troubles in management, how to distribute water sources, how to apply manure
How to distribute seeds, how to maintain farm tools, these things can only be done by those farm heads and Qiu Kui who have been in charge of the manors in the south of the Yangtze River for many years. Ordinary farmers and farmers are afraid that they will not be able to grow anything when they arrive in the north of the Yangtze River.
Half of the grain in Jiangnan doesn't have this ability."
Qinglong nodded: "Then why do we take the initiative to provide Liu Yu with management talents from these grassroots villages? These village heads also have many years of experience, and many of them have managed for us manor owners for many years. Not only did they redeem themselves, but they also
There are quite a few people who have acquired land and become owners of small estates, and I'm afraid they won't be willing to go to Jiangbei."
Bai Hu shook his head: "The most they can redeem themselves is a Susuktian with dozens of temples. When the time comes, let Liu Yu offer more than five times the conditions to attract these people, and even give them the village chief, a slut like Li Zheng."
I'm afraid many people are willing to take up foreign official positions. Instead of waiting for Liu Yu to take the initiative to recruit people, we should do the work of these village heads early and let them take the tenants who are willing to go to Jiangbei to settle down collectively.
It’s a cooperative attitude.”
Xuanwu curled his lips: "But Liu Yu is happy with this kind of cooperation, but what good does it do to us? Those villages in Jiangbei will eventually become the land of new immigrants, not the manor of our family."
Bai Hu smiled slightly: "We can negotiate terms with Liu Yu, because we take the initiative to provide people, and even provide grassroots village heads who can manage production. The village chiefs don't even need Liu Yu to pay the ransom. These villagers and tenants are still
Our people have moved their working place from the manor in the south of the Yangtze River to the north of the Yangtze River. In exchange, the land in the north of the Yangtze River is still under the name of our family. In this way, both parties can get what they need, wouldn't it be nice?"
Qinglong smiled and said: "Master Baihu still has a way. It sounds good to me. If I were Liu Yu, I would definitely accept such a proposal."
Suzaku said coldly: "But this way we will have huge risks. What if the Hulu go south? We have brought people and property to Jiangbei. If we are defeated in one battle, the entire six counties of Jiangbei may be razed to the ground. By then,
Aren’t we losing both our lives and our wealth?”
Bai Hu shook his head: "Sir Suzaku, there is no good thing in this world that is completely risk-free and can be done without cost. Not to mention the danger of military disaster in Jiangbei, isn't there in Jiangnan? What kind of situation has Wu been beaten? It hasn't been long.
Liu Yu wants to immigrate to the north of the Yangtze River for the purpose of the Northern Expedition. Once the Northern Expedition succeeds, the six counties in the north of the Yangtze River will be as safe as the current Wudi in the south of the Yangtze River."
At this point, Bai Hu paused: "Even if we retreat ten thousand steps, the Northern Expedition is really defeated, and Jiangbei is razed to the ground by the barbarians as Suzaku said, but we won't lose much. At most, it will be those who can't escape.
Most of the tenant farmers and village heads were affected by the war and could move back to the south of the Yangtze River. Instead, the manor land in the north of the Yangtze River became ours. As long as we can recover it in the future, it will still belong to our noble family and we can still make some money."
Xuanwu's eyes narrowed slightly: "So to put it this way, it is equivalent to us offering the tenants and village heads in exchange for the land in Jiangbei being owned by us?"
Bai Hu smiled and said: "That's what you mean. Does Mr. Xuanwu still think that this transaction is a loss?"
Suzaku suddenly laughed: "I almost got deceived by Mr. Baihu. You said that the tenant farm leaders were hired by Liu Yu to live in the fields and immigrate. After a few years, they made enough money to redeem themselves. You were attracted by this. If you pass, you still can't
To redeem themselves, then why did they leave?"
Bai Hu smiled and waved his hand: "It's possible to redeem one's life, but they don't have land. According to the rules Liu Yu has established now, only those with nobility and military merit can be allocated land. Where do tenants who don't even have personal freedom get land? Those are the ones who have land.
Zhuangtou, they don’t have the money or title, so go and acquire a large area of land in Jiangbei.”
Xuanwu looked at Bai Hu and said, "How can you acquire these wastelands belonging to the imperial court in Jiangbei and turn them into the legal manor of our aristocratic family?"
Bai Hu's eyes flashed coldly: "Because Liu Yu wants to make the Northern Expedition, he needs money and food. In addition to the normal taxes levied by the court, now that Jingzhou is undecided, Xishu and Lingnan have fallen into the hands of traitors and demons. The financial revenue is a big problem."
The problem is, after pacifying Jingzhou, we have to pay taxes and show gratitude to the local area, and maintain the army to guard the area, which is not a small number. When conquering the world, we only need to take care of the military. When we govern the world, we have to face the people of the world. It is impossible to let the officials
If the people show their loyalty to him, they won’t have to eat."
Suzaku sneered and said: "This is a good way for us to restrain Liu Yu and force him to make concessions to us. But when it comes to you, it becomes a favor that we want to give to him. Lord Baihu, I think you have forgotten your current situation."
Which side should your butt sit on?"
Bai Hu said calmly: "My butt has always been on the side of the family and the organization. This has never changed. If not, why would I join the mafia when it is in such danger? It's because of the previous guards.
They only care about their own interests, ignore national affairs, harm the public and enrich themselves, and finally end up with the ruin of the country and the family. In the current situation, we no longer have any advantage."
"If there is, it's just that the manor in Wudi is still in our hands. But if Liu Yu is really pushed into a hurry, he can directly refuse to recognize the previous land deeds and forcibly take them back, or impose heavy taxes in the name of the Northern Expedition.
, by that time, we won’t even have the capital to bargain.”
"Sir Suzaku, do you think you can be safe if you provoke Liu Yi to go against Liu Yu? The two of them are unanimous on the matter of making contributions in the Northern Expedition. Even Liu Yi, if he is allowed to come to Jiangnan Manor to reclaim the manor,
, become state-owned, you see whether he will help you or Liu Yu."
