Chapter 640 Decisions

"Land enclosure matter?" Wang Kuang nodded. He was about to mention this matter, but the old fox mentioned it. Just as the big giants in Jianzhou were there, you can discuss it.

"Previously, the people of Wangcun also came to someone and said they wanted to buy land, and then exchanged good fields for a bad field to replace the Yongye fields interspersed in the fields bought by Wangcun. It was said that Wangcun did not take advantage of this, but he suffered a little loss. But he did not agree. Why did Erlang say?" Huang Liang stroked his thicker beard in the past two years. If he was more particular, he would become a beautiful beard. Wang Kuang remembered that when he first met Huang Liang, his beard was sparse and a little yellow. Look at it now, I'm afraid that Guan Yunchang could challenge him...

After thinking about it briefly, Wang Kuang knew the reason: "It must be that Yangzhou people have encircled land and done bad things." In terms of business talent, Yangzhou people really have nothing to say. This is also the result of their influence over the years of experience in a wealthy place with convenient transportation. Merchants seek profits and always instinctively maximize their interests. Yangzhou lacks a person who has a strong appeal like Wang Kuang. In Jianzhou, no one dares to risk being stabbed by the people of the whole province or even the risk of being pursued by the government. It can be said that today's Jianzhou is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe it as not closing doors at night and not picking up relics on the road.

In the face of interests, many people who were originally wandering in the temptation of great interests may not be able to resist the temptation of huge interests and use illegal means, or exchange bad fields for good fields, or use forced buying and selling methods. Merchants rarely work in the yamen, but using wealth to smash them can easily make a way out. This has a great advantage over the common people. In this way, as long as the county privately tampers with the accounts of Yongyetian, everything will be very simple. There are still so many Yongyetian fields, but all the good fields have been turned into bad fields, and bad fields want to be fattened. If you don’t have to think about it for five or eight years, you can’t think about it. Besides, the difference between good fields and bad fields is not just a matter of terrestrial capacity. Whether transportation is convenient, whether water conservancy is in place, etc. are all within consideration.

Huang Liang's handling was undoubtedly correct. Since the Yangzhou incident has been passed down to Jian'an, it will definitely be passed down to Chang'an. Now that the emperor is not in the court, the court may not make any moves, but it can be imagined that when Li Shimin turns back from Jiandong and learns about this, the court will definitely be the thunderous anger and punishment of the court. The people of the country have always had a one-size-fits-all habit. The instructions conveyed from the above will become one-size-fits-all things when they reach the hands of the officials below. Because one-size-fits-all things are the simplest and easy to deal with, managers can save a lot of worries. Anyway, they are responsible to Shangguan, the court, and the emperor. The life and death of the people have nothing to do with them, so naturally the more worry-free the better.

Of course, Li Shimin would not have a one-size-fits-all approach, nor would Old Man Tang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs do this, but the officials under Old Man Tang may not be. If they really have a one-size-fits-all approach, the people of Jianzhou will definitely be implicated. Wangcun people may be exempted from being punished for having Wang Kuang's face, but the punishment is definitely not light. Huang Liang's move is to protect Wangcun people and protect Jianzhou people from losing in the future thunder rage that may come. This is the virtuous official in Wang Kuang's mind. He must consider the interests of the people and the direction of the future in advance in everything, rather than being hot-headed. Seeing others enclosing land, he also began to enclose land on a large scale, not thinking about the consequences that might occur in doing so.

With Wang Kuang's current ability, it would not be too difficult to protect the people of Jianzhou, but after all, he still has to sell people a favor, and the achievements he had made before may be eliminated. This is not a good deal. Therefore, if you can not owe favors, try not to owe favors. The old fox is an old fox. After years of hard work in the officialdom at the bottom, he could see the key point at a glance. If Wang Kuang changes, it may not be able to see it. He can analyze it and it is also a type of hindsight.

"After Erlangyi returned to Chang'an, he still had to win the support of the Changsun family and the five surnames and seven clans. If he could not get all the support, he would at least have to obtain the support of most people and formulate corresponding regulations. In this way, the sufferings of the people will be minimized." The Huang family also slowly climbed up from the bottom. Now he only dared to speak loudly in one state and put it all over the world. Even if Huang Liang is already a person who cannot be ignored, he cannot be compared with the five surnames and seven clans. Whether he can become a big family depends on whether the descendants of the Huang family can defend this foundation. In the eyes of the five clans and seven clans, the small wealthy family is no different from the poor family. Just like in the eyes of giants, ants are no different from kittens and puppies. They are all things that can be killed by stretching their fingers.

"This is simple. Needless to say, the Changsun family must support Erlang. Now the biggest benefit of the Changsun family is no longer in the fields, but in Chang'an, a few business mastered by Erlang. Who do they support Erlang? The Li family doesn't have to say something, the Li family boy is here." Xu Guoxu glanced at Li Yesi. He just liked to take advantage of verbal advantage. He was a peer-to-peer relationship with the little devil and Xiao Heichang, so he was invisibly one generation higher than Li Yesi. Although he didn't have this idea in his heart, he took advantage of verbally, and did not take advantage of it.

Li Yesi nodded silently and said, "Grandpa said that as long as Your Majesty trusts Erlang, the Li family will definitely support Erlang." He knew Xu's thoughts and did not want to fall into this trap to argue with him. When talking about eloquence, he was not as good as Xu Guoxu, so he naturally would not challenge others' strengths based on his own weaknesses.

Li Yesi was not deceived, and Xu Guoxu was like a punch hitting the air, unable to use any force, and smashing his mouth was a little unwilling to give up, but this was not a good time to stumble, so he continued: "The Wang family in Taiyuan must have been here at Erlang, and there is also Xiao family, with Xiao Gong. Although the Xiao family is not one of the seven clans, the fact that the blood relatives of the previous dynasty is also somewhat influential. There are three families, and there are no need to ask about several dukes, they must also support Erlang; the Li family in Longxi is a royal family, and there is no reason to oppose His Majesty; it is not a problem for the two clans of the Kuang clan to have the wife of Duke Lu; as for the remaining three clans of the Fanyang Lu family, the Li family in Zhaojun, and the Zheng family in Xingyang, there is a lot of connections with the other four clans, and the problem is not big. The key depends on how to determine the rules of this charter."

"How to decide depends on Your Majesty's intention. According to some of his thoughts, it will not let the tribes suffer losses. There are many places, so why should Fan hold a piece of land to stay? When the Uighur War ends next spring, those who want to raise sheep are still worried about no land? If they really want to plant a hundred and a hundred and a thousand, the Western Regions are the best choice. Planting a hundred and a thousand and a lot of land in the Central Plains is much higher. What I lack now in the Tang Dynasty is not land, but population. The large Uighurs and the vast land in the Western Regions are all waiting for people to go. If they are allowed to reclaim land in these two places and give tax reduction and exemption, they will always be better than spending money to buy land in the local area?" Wang Kuang paused and clarified his ideas. With the three places like Jiandong, Jiannan and Japan as precedents, it proved that people who went out first had a great gain, so it would be less difficult to encourage those big families to develop out.

In the past, whether it was Jiandong, Jiannan, or even Japan, which had a large amount of gold and silver minerals, could not attract the attention of those prominent families. In the eyes of those prominent families, their foundation was in the local area and needed to be managed well and kept. If people were sent out to develop, if they were compensated, they would not benefit from both ends. Therefore, before that, most of the three places in Jiandong, Jiannan and Japan were mostly small families, and few big families participated in it. What they were staring at were just official positions in these places.

However, over the years, as long as you work harder, you will basically get more or less benefits. Many people from all over the country clearly have the earth as the mat and the sky as the quilt before going out, but after going out, they have gone to sea for a few months, and they have become a small asset. There are many legends like this, and even have more courageous people. They have made a ruthless bet and borrowed high interest money to go out. As a result, there are many people following the trend, but there are too many people who have come back, and there are no more profits than the previous batch of bold people.

Now there is a sudden increase in the grassland where the Uighurs are located, and there is also the Western Regions. Wang Kuang is not moved if he doesn't believe in the promising tribes. His credibility is still not low. He said that the Western Regions are most suitable for planting hundreds of seeds. There will definitely be much more people who believe in it than those who don't believe it. Moreover, what he said is a fact that has been proven by later generations.

As long as the five surnames and seven clans and those founding ministers do not object, even if they kill a group of people, it will not cause much rebound. The poor family will definitely stand on Ma Zhou's side, and the unhealthy trend of snatching land is just the protection of the interests of the poor family, and the poor scholars have no reason to stand up and oppose it.

"It's so good. I'm waiting for the news from Erlang. I think Wangcun has been comforted. If the people of Wangcun have not moved, then the people of Jianzhou will not dare to do it. I'll be much more relaxed when I hear Xu Guoxu's analysis. Although he has a high status now, he is far away from the court after all. He used to be no one in the court, so the news is relatively closed. What he is worried about is whether Wang Kuang can withstand the pressure of the five surnames and seven clans.

"I heard that Ju Langzi was provoking him in public on the street. Do you want me to arrest him on the charge of resting the spy?" Li Yesi's thinking suddenly jumped to the other side. He had just entered the Wang family's yard. He heard several guards of Wang Kuang discussing Ju Weiniang's words and taking the relationship between the monarch and the ministers of the Tang Dynasty seriously, but the guards did not say anything else. Therefore, Li Yesi could only hear a general meaning, saying that Ju Weiniang was doing his best to provoke the relationship between the monarch and the ministers of the Tang Dynasty in public.

Since it is a provocation, it must be a provocation of the relationship between Wang Kuang and the court. With Wang Kuang's current influence, to put it bluntly, even if Wang Kuang really has a little idea of ​​becoming a king, he will definitely succeed. Others in the court may know the power of the Jianzhou naval army, but there is no concept of how powerful it is. However, Li Yesi understood how powerful the Jianzhou naval army existed. It can almost be said that in the world today, any country, as long as it is next to the waterside where the tower ship can drive into, it will not be able to withstand the pace of the Jianzhou naval army. The difference is nothing more than the length of time to resist.
