Chapter 5356 Empty the cage and replace the bird with the empty Wu land
Qinglong said calmly: "Yes, those who are willing to serve as officials in other states and counties do not expect to be able to rely on power to run industries and occupy territory in the local area, because that means leaving Wu and moving to other places.
Taking root is something that none of our families want to do. Back then, the Yu family wanted to move their family to Jingzhou for development, but Huan Wen, a white-eyed wolf, drove them back, and almost the foundation was gone. If it hadn't been for the help of other members of our family.
Well, I'm afraid the Yu family has lost its reputation in the family. After this painful lesson, no family is willing to move far away."
Zhuque also nodded: "Yes, the purpose of becoming an official in other places is to gain political achievements so that one can be promoted. Of course, like Diao Kui did before, when one becomes the governor of Guangzhou, he can also collect bribes from the local area and collect commercial taxes from trade.
, enriched oneself, but it was not a place to stay for a long time, just like Diao Kui, who had been the governor of Guangzhou for five or six years, but did not buy any land there. This explains the problem. "
Xuanwu looked at Bai Hu and said: "Sir Bai Hu, when you become an official, you want to make some achievements so that you can get promoted. This is something we all know, why do you ask?"
Bai Hu laughed loudly: "I see that Yu Yue is very motivated now. Not only himself, but also several close relatives of the Yu family's descendants and nephews also want to go to Jiangzhou, Yuzhou, and even Jingzhou to work for official positions, and
, they bought property and fields locally, and of course, they received the land deeds from the powerful local nobles. Do you think this is a sign of the Yu family's progress?"
Qinglong said in a deep voice: "Yu Yue intends to go to the west to develop after this war. After the fake mafia Qiankun was exposed, he seized the army for his own tenants and lost face. He is even more afraid of what will happen after returning to Wu.
To add insult to injury to our other aristocratic families and seize his family's property, he simply sold off these properties and prepared to move the family to Jiangzhou or even Jingzhou. This is what his old Yu family did nearly a hundred years ago, and he wants to repeat it now
After all, he still holds the official position of Jiangzhou governor, and the local powerful people in Jiangzhou have participated in the Tianshi Dao rebellion. They are afraid of being held accountable after the war, so naturally they can only reluctantly cut off the flesh, transfer it at a low price, or even give it away.
Yu Yue gave me a lot of land in order to ask for forgiveness."
Suzaku nodded: "Yes, I heard that Yu Yue is now asking prices in Jiangzhou in a semi-clear code. On one side, he has gathered the scattered soldiers of Tianshi Dao and defeated them, and then asked these former thieves to identify who they are.
The tenants and bankers of the family were used as evidence of crime to coerce the old owners to sell their property. At the same time, they also used these collected former Tianshi Dao defeated troops to go around in the name of suppressing bandits to clean up bandits in various townships and villages, and even
Let some of the people who have been incorporated flee to the caves near some villages in the name of Tianshi Dao again, and then be searched out by the government and the army to prove the charges of local powerful and treacherous traitors."
Bai Hu sneered and said: "Yu Yue definitely doesn't have the brains to come up with such a vicious plan. He has experts around him. I think it's Tao Yuanming who did the good thing."
Xuanwu nodded: "Although this Tao Gong is a famous scholar, he seems to be indifferent to fame and wealth, but secretly, he is very deep in the city. This kind of method, Yu Yue will not have, most of it is his handiwork, and he has really experienced it.
The thieves in Jiangzhou will be forced to hand over about half of their land to atone for their sins, while the local tycoons who have not participated in the rebellion will also be blackmailed in this way and hand over 20 to 30 percent of their land as long as someone in their territory defectes to Tianshi Dao.
The manor farmed the land for peace. The fields sold by the Yu family in Wudi could get three to five times the return in Jiangzhou. With these benefits, it would naturally be possible to accommodate his entire Yu family. This was also the case for their family this time.
The reason why you are willing to move away from Wu."
Bai Hu sighed: "If the Yu family takes this initiative, our families in Wu will follow suit. In the following, Guangzhou, Yizhou, and even Yongzhou will take back the lands from other states in the name of countering rebellion. If we in Wu
The sons and nephews of the aristocratic families came there to serve as officials one after another, and some powerful local families, after becoming officials in the court, naturally wanted to purchase properties in the Wudi area. In this way, ten years later, the Wudi will still be ours.
Is it the private land of the major aristocratic families?"
The three major guards all looked solemn. Obviously, this question moved them. After a long time, Xuanwu said: "You are worried that as Liu Yu conquers more and more new lands, he will use the profits from these places to attract
The high-ranking families in Jiankang and Wudi moved their whole families to these new places, and then allowed the wealthy families in these places to come to Wudi to purchase properties. In this way, over time, the wealthy families and aristocratic families from all over the world will
It creates a flow and you can no longer control one party, is that right?"
Bai Hu nodded: "Yes, in fact, for many years, foreign counties in various places have fallen into the hands of foreigners and local powerful people, and local officials have been taken over by our Wu family's nephews. They themselves will be like now, or
Pursuing profits or political achievements, they will not stay in the local area for a long time. Therefore, the descendants of our local aristocratic families are based on the land of Wu, and most of the output of other states and counties falls into the hands of local powerful people. This also makes it difficult for officials and generals to serve in other places.
It is difficult for such people to form a force and they can only protect themselves. What really determines the income of the imperial court is the taxes of our land in Wu, which is why we can control the imperial court."
"Since the Jin Dynasty moved to the south, although there have been several rebellions in other states, they will soon be put down. This is because our Wu region has the largest population, the strongest garrison, and the highest income in the Jin Dynasty. Once our Wu region
If the family wants to evade the emperor, then the Sima emperor will accomplish nothing. If we want to suppress other states or fight against the northern barbarians, then we only need to unite as one and spend money and efforts together. Even if we are as strong as Huan Wen or Fu Jian, we can't.
, it can be said that with the power of Wu and Yangzhou, we can drive the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Jiangzhou. If we advance, we can conquer the Central Plains in the north, and if we retreat, we can separate and secure the south. This is also the foundation of our Jin family."
Zhuque smiled and said: "That's true, but in the end we had problems with the control of the army, and easily gave up the leadership of the army to generals from the Beifu series of civilians from Liu Laozhi to Liu Yu. From now on, we will still
We have to find a way to get it back. One way is to let your nephew join the army, from joining the army to becoming a general, and following the path of the predecessors."
Bai Hu sighed: "Let's not talk about joining the army to seize power. Let's just say that now Liu Yu can get Jingzhou in the war to exterminate Tianshi Dao, Qingzhou in the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan, and Yuzhou, Jiang
He has also greatly strengthened his control over these places in the state. Now, he will use the power, official positions and manor lands of these states and counties to attract the exodus of our Wudi family. In this way, there will be a void in Wudi where power is transferred to the manor.
, will definitely be occupied by Liu Yu!" (End of this chapter)
