Chapter 58: Prying the corner hard

Speaking of the land issue, before Zhiyao left "Xintian", she heard Zhao Yang's call for land reform.

Zhao Yang's opinion is to redefine the land of each family and rationally redistribute it if necessary.

As a result, not only Zhizhuo opposed it, but also Wei Chi and Han Buxin. The voices of other small and medium-sized nobles were unimportant.

When will the small and medium-sized nobles dare to unite against the Qing family, and then stand up and express their opinions? Otherwise, they will have to wait for slow death, or stand up and die immediately.

A coalition of small and medium-sized nobles? Who among the noble families has the guts to be their leader? Whoever carries a lantern into the toilet at night is looking for death!

The monarch was very much in agreement, but it was the monarch's approval that made Zhishuo, Wei Chi and Han Buxin even more opposed.

Even Han Buxin, Zhao Yang's loyal ally, objected. Suddenly, three of the four remaining families with high positions opposed it. Naturally, even if the monarch agreed, the matter of redefining the land was shelved.

In fact, the Zhao family suffered heavy losses in this wave and hoped to seize the cities of Fan family, Zhonghang family and Handan Zhao by redefining the land.

Because it was Zhizong who was the "Yuanrong", even if the civil war ended, the distribution of benefits would not be decided by the military commander. Zhao Yang naturally hoped to establish a project and then become the person in charge.

It would be even easier if the monarch agrees. Redefining the land may help the public family benefit. Even if it does not work, it can provoke conflicts among the families of the ministers, and even increase the resentment of the small and medium-sized nobles against the families of the ministers.

Zhisong wrote to Zhiyao, saying that the alliance with the Wei family had been finalized, but the matter of keeping the Zhongxing family had been put on hold.

That is to say, Zhao Yang not only had a crisis of trust with Han Buxin because of his proposal to redefine the relationship, but Wei Chi also strengthened his determination not to synchronize with Zhao Yang anymore.

So, is Zhishi making money this time?

Zhao Yang's appearance in "Xintian" indicates that the "War of Mo" has ended.

That battle lasted for more than a year and four months and finally came to an end. The remnants of the Fan and Zhongxing clans crossed the river and went to the Wei State. The Jin State would send troops to defend the country the next year.

The state of Wei was in chaos due to the outbreak of civil war. They also broke out into conflict with the state of Song. If the Jin army invaded the next year, the state of Wei would be in trouble without being rescued by the states of Qi and Zheng.

Those things are a bit far away from Zhiyao.

Zhisong now wants Zhiyao to reduce his presence, which shows that Zhiyao will not participate in any major national events for at least three to five years.

After Zhiyao came to "Huangfu", he checked the "states" everywhere, wrote to Zhisong to ask for a few "states" closer to the city, and took one of them as Zigong's.

Food town.

It is said to be a "state", but it is actually a village. A closer description is similar to the collective farm of "Disintegration Big Brother".

Zigong, who obtained the "state" and got his own town, could he be regarded as a noble? Not really.

Becoming a retainer of a certain family, obtaining food, and still being a "house official" is a different status from being granted a fief by the country and becoming a "official of a certain place". It requires the Zhi family to let Zigong go one day, mainly because the granted fiefdom will not be taken back.

, Zigong was considered a nobleman of the Jin Kingdom... and probably only had the rank of "scholar".

There are about sixty families in the "bang" selected by Zhiyao. Each family ranges from three to six people. Counting the slaves who belong to the "bang", the total population is about two hundred and twenty, in terms of age group.

It's more complicated.

Conferring a title is a very serious matter and requires a special ceremony. Zigong first needs to go to "Xintian" to meet Zhizong, hold relevant ceremonies, and get some documents. At the same time, Zhizong will also have documents, and the handover ceremony will be completed.

It's complete.

"I would like to give you 'Lang' as a food town, but I don't know why..." Zhiyao specially invited Zilu over and made his proposal.

After Zilu came to Jin, he helped Zhiyao a lot. Since Zilu was not an aristocrat of Jin, nor was he a retainer of the Zhi family, he was of course unable to record merits.

Another point is that because Zilu is not a guest of the Zhi family, he actually cannot enjoy various benefits from the old Zhi family. At most, he can only get a reward for each time he does a job.

Zilu was a little stunned.

Because the "lang" did not have a family temple, according to the level, it was a "eup" level, and the one who had a family temple was a "du".

"'Lang' has more than 500 households, more than 300 subordinates, and about 3,700 acres of cultivated land." Zhiyao explained the situation.

The current civil war in the Jin Kingdom is publicly said to be that Handan Zhao detained 500 Zhao family guards. It is not a fiefdom dispute or other hatred.

Zhiyao felt that it was definitely profitable to exchange a "city" for Zilu's service. In order not to exaggerate, he did not choose another larger "city" and chose "Lang", a place that was not big or small.

"This..." Zilu was so excited!

There was a "city" over there in the State of Lu. There were more than 500 households in the "city" and 300 slaves. Basically, he was considered a middle-class noble.

A "city" of the same size can only be regarded as a small noble in the Jin State, and a "city" is a drop in the bucket for the Jin State's high-ranking families.

Of course, no matter how many assets you have, other people's assets are of completely different nature from your own.

Take Confucius as an example. When he inherited his father's business, he got a "state"-level fiefdom with more than 200 subjects and dozens of slaves. The cultivated land was only about 200 acres, which often caused a lot of confusion.

The food supply for the disciples cannot be guaranteed.

If Zilu accepted Zhiyao's reward and immediately obtained the assets that even teachers dream of, the good life of future generations would basically be guaranteed.

It can be seen that Zi Lu was struggling in his heart. If he was still struggling, he was loyal to Confucius. For someone who was not so determined to follow Confucius, he would most likely have agreed immediately.

"Gongsun, please think about the time." Zi Lu said it with great difficulty.

Zhiyao can push harder and even increase the chips, but forcing and increasing temptation are meaningless.

In human terms, Zhiyao could not get Zilu as a person, but also Zilu's heart.

"Zhong You has helped me a lot and deserves this reward." Zhiyao just said this.

Zilu saluted, said goodbye and left with a sad look on his face.

According to Zhiyao's guess, Zilu probably wouldn't mention such a thing to anyone.

Talk to your teacher Confucius? Confucius will definitely persuade Zilu to accept it.

The rest of the disciples must have advised Zilu to accept it.

In the State of Lu, no matter how great a contribution you made, it was almost impossible to be rewarded by a city.

Zhiyao from the old Zhi family obviously admires Zilu, and it means that Zilu will have a great future if he "settled" in Jin.

Although they are nobles or descendants of nobles, are not ruined or have ambitions to make contributions, who can learn knowledge from a deviant master?

That’s right, reliable!

In the eyes of all the nobles, Confucius was the deviant and betrayed his own class.

Knowing that the behavior is a bit deviant, isn't it just for practical gain or ideals? You are not a child, and who doesn't know that without capital, no ideal can be realized!

Zhiyao looked at Zilu's leaving figure with deep eyes...
