After all, not everyone will be attracted by interests. Besides, some people who have been tenant farmers for the Xu family for decades have actually been in love and are reluctant to betray the old master. ★★

Some people even jumped out and chased the kid who took the lead in signing a contract to Luzon. If Xi Muyun hadn't protected him, they might have lost their lives. They tried to rely on extreme methods to express their loyalty to the Xu family. When the Xu family gained power again, they could still gain some pitiful benefits.

But when they followed the orders of the Xu family and rushed over, they saw thousands of miserables surrounding the master from the court to check the Xu family's land and return them to the original owner. They were all stunned. What happened to the court? The common people could not figure out where the people knew, but they knew one thing. It seemed that the Xu family was going to be in trouble and the land was taken back. Wouldn't they have no land to plant?

What should I do? Fight against the court?

It’s a fool, so sign a contract to go out to sea to plant elixirs!

If the good thing is gone, I will never regret it in my life.

The people scattered and rushed to sign the contract. Everyone was in herd, fearing that they would not be able to grab it if they were too late.

It is true that loyalty to the Xu family is nothing more than that, which perfectly interprets what birds and beasts are scattered.

After such a stir, only the two brothers Xu Kun were left, as well as servants and a few evil slaves, which combined were less than a thousand people, which was pale in comparison with the men from Wu Shi.

Xu Kun was about to explode. He grabbed a servant, slapped him, and shot him more than twenty times.

"What's going on? No one is gone!"

The guy covered his swollen cheeks, as if he had eaten bitter gourd.

"I don't know if the little one!"

"What do you know!" Xu Kun kicked him out and shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Go and call someone!"

The evil slave got up from the ground, covered his belly, and turned around and was about to leave, but Wu Shilai took him down with his servants. Several ordinary people ran over, pointed at the evil slave's nose, shouting for justice. It was him who took people to their village and ran wildly and captured five or six girls.

"Young Master Xu, I think you are just taking advantage of the robbery and occupying the land. As a result, there are more and more cases. You are also robbing men and women, forcing good families to be slaves, and even killing innocent people for money and killing innocent people. All kinds of evil deeds are not tolerated by nature!" Wu Shilai angrily rebuked: "You go back to your house immediately and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. I will investigate in detail. If the people below do something wrong, you are just not restricting them. Otherwise, the prince will commit the law and commit the same crime as the common people!"

You two bastards have cursed me many times. Don’t think that I won’t touch you if I have a supporter’s father!

Wu Shilai secretly smashes his heart into his heart, and traitors are often more terrifying than opponents. For example, Wu Shilai hopes that the Xu family will be ruined than Tang Yi. Only when Xu Jie is defeated and is doomed can he save his life and future, and even rise to the top. If Old Xu turns over, even death will become a luxury!

"Come, drive them back to Xu's mansion and take care of it!" Wu Shilai shouted.

"You dare!" Xu Ying was angry and cursed: "You lard-watching beast, it's useless to promote you by my father. If you dare to bite your master, you won't die well. If you hit the sky, you will die without a place to die!"

He howled hysterically at the top of his throat.

Wu Shilai didn't care about him at all. With your two pieces of information and hundreds of evil slave thugs, what kind of storms can it cause? The soldiers rushed forward, and the black muskets were aimed at them. Xu Ying clenched his fists and wanted to fight desperately. He jumped a few times, but he had no courage.

I could only admit defeat, be driven back home, and locked up...

Cabinet, room.

"Hahahahahahaha!"

Gao Gong's hearty laughter kept echoing, making him cover his stomach and almost fall under the chair. It was not a very pleasant thing, and a grand grand sergeant would not be like this.

After laughing for a long time, Gao Gong finally sat up straight, took it to report, and looked at it over and over again, the corners of his mouth getting higher and higher.

He couldn't help but sigh: "This Tang Xingzhi really has an idea!"

He stood up, arrived at the door, and looked at the innermost duty room. I'm afraid Lao Xu was holding his head at this time!

Thinking of Xu Jie's defeat, he couldn't help but feel proud again.

"I want to have a drink to prepare wine and food."

With a pot of soju and four side dishes, Gao Gong called Guo Pu over again, and the two of them sat opposite each other and talked happily. After a few glasses of wine, Guo Pu smiled very happily, "Suqing, Tang Xingzhi's move is probably three points better than last time."

"That's natural. Isn't Lao Xu indifferent and clear-minded, quiet and far-reaching? There is no one to cultivate hundreds of thousands of acres of land. I think how he can keep it indifferent?" Gao Gong's mouth raised, and his bearded trembled. Obviously, he couldn't think of such a sinister idea, but it didn't prevent him from enjoying the show, and he had endless fun!

People go to high places, and water flows to low places.

Going to Luzon to grow cigarettes will make ten or a hundred times the profit. Who doesn’t want to go?

No matter how domineering the Xu family is, can they still stop others' wealth? Is this still the truth in the world? It doesn't matter in normal times, but Tang Yi stares at them. If they do it nonsense, aren't they asking for death?

I could only watch the tenants under my command ran away completely, making my stomach hurt.

Someone wants to ask, there are so many people in the southeast, so Mr. Xu's family's field will not be empty, let alone, no one comes to rent it.

No one is a fool. If you go to Luzon as you claim, you can get 100 acres of land, not planting smoke, planting rice and mulberry trees, how can you eat enough for a family?

If you rent the Xu family's land, you have to rent it for 70% or 80% of the land, and you have to endure the extortion of the evil slaves. Their wives and daughters were all taken away and ruined.

If you are a man, you will not tolerate it.

In the past, there was no way, and I could only hang myself in one tree. Now there is one more choice, who will be foolish?

Of course, there are still many people who are unwilling to go out to sea to take risks and still want to stay and farm honestly, but now they will not rent the Xu family’s fields.

People like to chase the rise and fall. In the past, everyone robbed land and rented a few acres of land. No matter how much the cost was, they would be. But seeing that the Xu family was in trouble and no one rented the land, everyone hoped that they could reduce the rent of the land and spit out a little meat from their mouths. Otherwise, after working for a year, all the harvest was given to the Xu family. They sweated more than the grain they collected. As a result, they ate braised vegetables and endured hunger. Who could bear it?

People's hearts are like water. As one of the top landlords in the southeast, the Xu family in Huating actually guards thousands of hectares of fertile land and no one cultivates them. It has to be said that it is really ironic.

Not only that, the Xu family was also facing two sides of pursuit. Wu Shilai stepped up the inspection of the fields and returned all the fields that were not the Xu family, and the fields that were once affiliated with the Xu family were also found out.

Wu Shilai was not polite to those who were affiliated with and offered their own people. He also followed the rules. The land was robbed by tricks and returned to them. It was their own. He liquidated the land tax that had been escaped over the years and paid all the money. He was almost done, and he would immediately double the punishment, without a single word.

In less than half a month, Wu Shilai recovered more than 70,000 taels of silver.

It doesn't seem to be much, but when I think about it carefully, it's terrifying. The Xu family, after less than half of the investigation, paid so much money. How many Xu families in the world are owed to the court? Why is the Ming Dynasty always financially difficult and unable to make ends meet? This is the reason.

Too many interests were exploited layer by layer and fell into the hands of the court, just a little pitiful money.

Gao Gong has always advocated clearing the land and finding out the hidden land to solve the financial crisis of the court. Of course, he could only think about it, but Tang Yi did it and even attacked the Xu family.

The methods used by Tang Yi are really worthy of research and consideration. In the future, reforms can be implemented to ensure that they can be used.

Gao Gong and Guo Pu put down their wine glasses, got together, and studied them carefully. As they looked, both of them showed a model of deep thought.

"Suqing, Lord Tang's methods seem to imply the truth, but I can't understand it."

Gao Gong frowned, turned around, took the "The Wealth of Nations", and his hands and feet were quick to turn to the chapter "Land Rent". They read books and pondered.

Gradually, Gao Gong and Guo Pu both showed sudden enlightenment. Four thumbs stretched out and praised them together: How wonderful!

The land rents and land prices remain high, in a nutshell, in short supply. However, after taking over Luzon and Dongfan Island, tens of millions of acres of potential fertile land were added at once, and the contradiction between supply and demand suddenly eased.

At the same time, the strength of landlords and tenants changed.

The battle between Tang Yi and the Xu family was actually more about using economic means, such as using huge profits from growing tobacco to win over the Xu family's tenants. The next step is to force the Xu family to reduce the land rent.

Of course, the Xu family can hold on, it depends on who can waste it.

There are hundreds of thousands of acres of land, and no one can cultivate, but there are still a lot of slaves under his command. Even if the Xu family has mountains of gold and silver, can they compete with the transportation and Nanyang Company?

Obviously there was no such trick.

Tang Yi told Gao Gong all his ideas. As long as the Xu family agreed to reduce the land rent, he would not continue to chase and kill him, but would instead ask the entire Southeast to reduce the land rent to a reasonable range to ensure the people's livelihood.

The decline in land income forces large households to invest in industry and commerce. After reducing land rent, the increase in people's purchasing power will further promote the prosperity of industry and commerce. In the event of industry and commerce, it will attract more laborers to enter the city, alleviate the conflict between people and land, and further reduce land rent.

The two complement each other and cooperate perfectly. With the effort of water grinding, the deformed economy can be adjusted within ten years, eliminate those ugly phenomena, and truly benefit the whole people.

After seeing Tang Yi's strategy and layout, the two cabinet masters exclaimed in unison.

"Since ancient times, the loyal and upright ministers are Hai Rui. Before he entered Beijing, he ran to the small station and scolded Xingzhi." Gao Gong sighed: "If he knew Xingzhi's plan and thought carefully, he would be ashamed!"

Guo Pu smiled and shouted strangely: "Suqing, have you ever seen you praise someone like this? You have never been willing to surrender!"
