Chapter 276
Tell the world? It's not that it can't be done or can't be done, it's not a matter in the eyes of Xi Chao, the problem is that things are variable, and you really have to think about it.
"This is not what the king said." Xi Chao threw a muffled thunderbolt and looked at everyone's stunned faces with amusement.
"Didn't you say it was so sure just now, but it changed in a blink of an eye, are you playing us?" The man said angrily, "How can there be any reason to break your word and get fat!" β
Even the Yan brothers and Zhan Junfei subconsciously went to see the Wing King, they had never seen the Wing King do such a thing, and they were quite puzzled by the fact that they were pointed out by others but still did not move.
"The root of this matter is not in this king, nor in Mu country." The Xi Dynasty clearly pointed out the inner that was ignored by everyone, "There are only fourteen cities that this king can promise, that is to say, the patriotic people on this half of the territory of the country of Mu will not be slaves forever, and the rest will not be under the control of the country of Mu. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, yes, how could they forget that the war has not stopped, and the idea is too naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
"That'...... What about ...... "What to do?" It's like being stuck in a dead end.
Xi Chao looked at the Yan brothers, pushed out the question, and waited leisurely for the Yan country to give an answer, after all, although the Yan brothers are princes, it is difficult to exercise the power and position of the king of a country, and if they want to pardon the patriotic people in the remaining territories, there are many things to consider, and only the golden words of the king of a country can be solved.
Yan Hongyi looked at his brother beside him, the eyes of the two met and his eyes were full of helplessness, and when he talked about pardon before he could get his hands on the territory, he couldn't help jumping too fast. Rao is heart has decided that the territory can definitely be pocketed, and he should not say it at this time, in case the news spreads, the guards will resist more fiercely, and there is a tendency to die and the net will be broken. When?
Good intentions do bad things, not everyone can accept the pain of being occupied, national hatred is not necessarily nothing, it is necessary to think twice before doing things, you can't make decisions because of the things in front of you, increase the difficulty of things in the future, and suffer from it.
The Wing King's move to retreat into the pass actually made the Yan brothers swallow a fly alive. There is a choice when there is contrast, and everything the Winged King does is beyond the mastery of the people of the superiors, and crosses the boundaries of long-standing division. Yan Guo can't be as generous as the Wing King, each country has its own way of operating, it's not just a matter of learning from each other, and painting a tiger can't be an anti-dog. I'm really afraid that the people of the patriotic land that belong to half of the Yan country will run to the other half of the land with better conditions. What is the use of fifteen empty cities without the great trouble of the people?
The Wing King took this opportunity to warn Yan Guo that he wanted to compromise Mu Jun's intentions, and he didn't have to think about it, if he dared to do it, he had to have enough heart to bear the way to deprive his people of another way.
In fact, the empty city is not unsolvable, it is enough to move the people of Yan to the empty city, it is easy to say how difficult it is to do, how can anyone want to leave their hometown from scratch, and the forced relocation will chill the hearts of the people of Yan Kingdom, and move Ding Gulai to test all the emperors. often complained, leaving infamy through the ages.
And that's not the hardest part. What the Yan brothers are worried about is that what kind of mood the people of the country will feel when they see their home and country being seized and occupied by the people of Yan State, and the resentment accumulated in the previous war has gradually deepened, becoming the fire of calcining reason, once it is lit, it is difficult to extinguish, and then it is the counterattack of the people of the country, taking it as their responsibility to snatch their home garden, and fighting to the end against the shameless invader of Yan State.
The Wing King from the back of a foot in the back, the situation of the country divided into two will be completely broken, the two sides of the same vein of the patriotic people united together to fight against the Yan country, although it is difficult to really vibrate the foundation of the Yan country, let alone the Yan country, but the country has worked hard to gain the territory will lose control and even miss the patriotic people to regain it, the final benefit of the big winner is undoubtedly the proper wing king.
Yan Gong did white work can only beat the teeth and swallow blood, not that he can't get it back, but he can't afford to grab it, the manpower, material and financial resources consumed by a war are really huge, plus Mu Guo as the defense of the country, hurt the enemy a thousand and lose eight hundred, heh, weighing the pros and cons is a personal knows how to make a trade-off.
This seed was planted by the Wing King himself, and the growth was all held by the people of the country, the Yan brothers suddenly felt a little afraid, the Wing King did was so strange and pointed to the essence of the incident, and at the same time, the cold air surged straight to the tip of the heart.
Underestimating the calculation of the Wing King's every step, the Yan brothers had thought about and discussed using the Mu army to attack the two most difficult cities, and they knew that the possibility of the Wing King's consent was slight, but they still couldn't help but think about it. The Yan army also wants to maintain its strength, it is difficult to say that it is difficult for some strongmen, but this is the time and vegetable is a battlefield, and my deception has never been eliminated, there is no absolute enemy in the world, and there is no absolute ally, everything lies in careful planning.
"Otherwise, we will volunteer to become Muguo people." Only in this way can you get what you want, as the Winged King said, no matter what country they are, they will live.
"This is not in a hurry, it will give everyone time to think about it." The Xi Dynasty achieved its goal, and the slight pleasure in his heart was not obvious, that is, he warned the Yan brothers not to play crooked brains and successfully let the people of the country voluntarily become Mu people, all because of the people's wishes, he just took advantage of the trend.
Now only Xu Mian is the only one who can still laugh, secretly praising the Wing King's slickness, playing with everyone on the applause, and doing a beautiful job. It's no wonder that the Wing King is confident, it's really an unprecedented show.
Xichao opened his mouth to talk about the last thing, building roads and building houses, building roads refers to the width of certain streets and alleys, because the road to the wide road on both sides of the pavement or people's houses have to move back, there are three roads that need to be widened There are not many houses to build, and then there are the houses of the people in the city, some poor families can't take out the money to build houses this time to solve together, so that everyone can have a good year.
When everyone heard about the road repair, they were puzzled, and then they heard that the requirements for building a house to be demolished were even more puzzled, why should a good house be demolished, why did the road have to be widened like that, and as for helping people without silver to build houses, this is even more inexplicable, this is not a cheap pick-up.
More importantly, where does the silver come from to build roads and houses, it won't be shared equally among every household, right? Everyone's hearts were beating drums, and everyone's hands were tight. Just eating and wearing is enough to stretch the limit, how can you come up with a seemingly small but extremely difficult silver tael.
Road construction is not only needed inside and outside the city, and the Xi Dynasty explained the significance of road construction in straightforward words. The road widens and the number of horse-drawn carriages and wagons increases. The cost problem that businessmen in other places are worried about has been solved, and although businessmen are profitable, they cannot ignore the convenience it brings to the people's lives.
As for the construction of houses, the property confiscated by the punishment officials should be taken from the people for the people, and it is okay not to have too much expense to maintain these two items, and as for the shortcomings, it is necessary to negotiate with the merchants in the city and make a spare effort.
Building a house is not about building as much as you want, building as big as you want. Xi Chao stated in advance that it would be difficult to make jokes at that time.
If the building is built on the basis of the original house, it is not allowed to occupy the land of another house, and the enlarged area is converted into silver and repaid by one's own labor. Reduce the number of people who are unbalanced or jealous because of building a house.
Then there is labor, although Xichao points out that although everyone does not need to contribute money, everyone must contribute, which is related to a better life in the future. Don't have people who play with caution and laziness. Once it is found out, not only does the house not have to pay a part of the road maintenance fee, after all, everyone has contributed but a few people have not.
After all, the material problem is limited, and the Xichao Dynasty hopes that everyone will carefully disassemble the house when demolishing it, and the timber masonry and stone waiting for the good wood and stone can be reused to reduce unnecessary waste.
Everyone understood that there was no free lunch in the sky, and everyone knew this in their hearts that there was no too much rejection and complaining, after all, the confiscated family property should belong to the overtaker, and it was already burning incense to be used for people's livelihood. The benefits of building roads have been made clear, and building houses has a special effect on the people, and it is more popular. It's not just a matter of making a lot of effort, they have brute strength if they don't have anything, and they are more energetic to work for themselves.
Can a human merchant be willing to fill the shortfall? In the hearts of everyone, businessmen are very greedy for profit, and businessmen will not agree if they do not have enough benefits, so the question arises, what kind of benefits should be given to businessmen?
Xi Chao chuckled, some people are really keen, businessmen are greedy instinctively can't change what is in their bones, of course, they can't be beaten to death with a stick, as long as they don't do too much to bully the people, a little tolerance can still be there.
On the issue of interests, the Xi Dynasty bluntly said that it would give merchants a two-year tax holiday, only for merchants in the country, and merchants from other countries need to pay a small road maintenance fee, and the road can be used for a lifetime if it is not repaired, and the damaged places need to be repaired, and this part of the silver comes from this aspect.
Everyone is not so comfortable when they hear it, this is also too good for Shang Jia, it is impossible not to be jealous, can you make such a big step?
Xi Chao saw the little caution on everyone's faces, and reminded everyone that the merchants were not without paying, on the contrary, the shops in the hands of the merchants were to be demolished and built, and the losses suffered during this period would be a large amount, and it was only two years, and then the maintenance costs also needed to be paid.
Everyone estimated that it was really true, building a house was not a day or two days, and it had to be demolished first, and there were requirements when demolishing, and the time dragged on for a long time did have a loss to the businessmen who opened the shop, and I balanced my heart after listening to this.
Some people also proposed that the construction of three main roads, and the merchants on the three roads enjoy the right to tax exemption with silver, so it is a bit unreasonable to say that the merchants in the places where they do not build can also enjoy the benefits.
Xi Chao explained that although the repair is three main roads, but the stone roads of other streets and alleys have been damaged to different degrees, these are to be repaired, like dirty clothes, you can't just wash the dusty place without washing the whole piece, the same reason, the cost of repair is borne by the merchants, don't feel that who takes advantage of the big advantage and who suffers a big loss, nothing is absolutely paid to enjoy the return.
Everyone lowered their heads in shame, thinking carefully that it was really shameful to be exposed.
There are also some miscellaneous things that need to wait for the officials to arrive and be assigned to deal with them separately, and the Xi Dynasty is just a reminder first, so that everyone can be prepared.
The matter was almost settled, and Xi Chao finally threw down a sentence, the land should be measured and redistributed in the near future, and once again everyone's hearts were hung high, and there was no one up and down.
Xi Chao said that there was no need to worry about not recovering the old land, but distributing some ownerless land in an orderly manner, and the people who did not have land could apply for it, which was regarded as a lease to be repaid for 20 years, not to say that all the harvest was a quarter, but a quarter of the annual output of the land, and the land planted after 20 years belonged to everyone.
Similarly, a two-year time limit is given without any taxation, and the surname Wei is given time to cultivate and recuperate. As for the future taxation issue, it needs to be further determined according to the situation, and there is also a difference in the law, whether to follow the old laws of the country or choose the laws of the country. These also need to be developed by professionals.
The Xi Dynasty gave a three-day time limit for everyone to think about the above three things, and there were many things left to let everyone go.
Sending away the person who was in the way, Yan Suyi saw that Yan Hongyi's face was wrong, and he couldn't wait to swallow it alive when he saw the eyes of the Wing King, so he hurriedly dragged the person away, and stayed only to know if something would happen, and then he had a dispute with the Wing King, but it was not necessarily just a verbal warning. The Winged King must take action in order to appease his anger again and again, and it is not himself who suffers, so save it.
"Yo. The two brothers were irritable and seemed to have plans to do it. I just don't know if I can win the Wing King, Xu Mian gloated and chuckled, even if he won, what can he do. The Winged King can still be recovered. The custody of the Yan brothers suffered a dumb loss.
"You don't really have that plan, do you?" Although Xu Mian had guessed the warning in the Winged King's words, he was still unsure whether the Winged King could let it go.
"People respect me for a foot, I respect people, the Yan brothers had better put their brains right, Mu Guo is not a villain who specializes in picking up cheap, stealing, and playing tricks, it is naturally incumbent on him to contribute, and it hurts his feelings for this calculation, so everyone can only break their faces and go their own ways." Xi Chao is not a person who is afraid of things, as long as he does not step on his bottom line, everything is easy to discuss. I did too much and wanted to threaten each other with a covenant, but it seems that I didn't wake up last night. is still in the dream of his own construction.
"Don't talk about this, people are the princes and grandsons of the king, and they are extremely noble, and they were born to command people, so they are naturally aggrieved by their current attitude." Xu Mian scoffed, "I still feel like I've suffered a big loss." β
"Speaking of which, you don't need to make a move at all, wait for Yan Guo to be unable to hold on to it and start a mess first, how can the Yan brothers have the wisdom of your first calculation, and when they lay down the rest of the territory, they will know what is as big as a fight." Xu Mian spurned the villain tricks of the Yan brothers, as the saying goes, it is easy to attack the city and difficult to defend the city, and there are times when Yan Guo cries.
The Xi Dynasty only needs to watch the seeds planted take root and sprout, and the verification of what kind of growth it will grow into and what kind of fruit will be completed by the people of the country, Yan Guo is just a fertilizer for watering this seed, and the fertilizer will naturally harvest significantly, and at that time, Yan Guo, who can't control people's hearts, can only eat the consequences.
Xi Dynasty hates calculation the most, the times are forcing people to be helpless, for Mu Guo must be done, even if he gives up more, he hates being calculated by others even more, once or twice he can say that he is negligent and the monthly calendar is insufficient, how can it be really a soft persimmon for others to handle, it is really ridiculous.
"How can I see you doing something more and more like building your own city?" Don't have any plans to occupy the mountain as the king! Xu Mian shuddered, no, the Wing King is already a king, should he establish himself as a king and become independent from Mu Kingdom?
"You're thinking too much." Xi Chao was quite speechless at Xu Mian's irrational words, "This is just a test place, and it is most appropriate to establish a new system and push the executive order without the obstruction of the courtiers." β
"Oh, I see." However, Xu Mian thought about it and felt that he was stupid, the true identity of the Wing King was equivalent to the person in charge of the Mu Kingdom, half of the entire Mu Country was the Wing King, and how could half of the Patriotic Territory be in the eyes of the Wing King, it was really unfounded.
Yan Hongyi, who went back, did a thing that he often did when he was a child, splitting the table with his bare hands, starting from the corners little by little, and splitting it into a paragraph to vent the anger in his heart.
Looking at his angry younger brother, Yan Suyi was extremely melancholy, he was so bad that he split the table, and it would be bad if he split people, so let him go.
"How can a stinky girl be like that!" Yan Hongyi scolded while splitting, "Do you have a little consciousness as an ally, why do you say that we have contributed in vain." β
Yan Suyi didn't interject, only slandered in his heart, the Wing King was really insightful, and he expected the situation he was about to face in the future journey.
I have to admit that the winged king's wrist is sleek and cunning by nature, and he thought of a way to deal with it so quickly, forcing himself to give up his original plan, Yan Suyi really didn't know what to say, and for the first time he tasted the taste of being pierced in front of his heart, although the group of people who defended the country did not necessarily understand, and they lost all their face.
The Wing King's patience was afraid that it had reached a critical point, and Yan Suyi had to reconsider his own way of looking at the problem, and called the four knowledgeable deputy generals to discuss and find out where the problem really came from.
Yan Hongyi stopped immediately when he saw the four deputy generals entering the house, how to say that he is also the commander of the first army, and he can't be rude like a scoundrel in the market.
The four deputy generals sat down and listened carefully to the words of the two princes, fell into deep thought, and their personal evaluation of the Wing King rose to a new level, but they didn't expect that this girl was still a master of tricks, and she knew a lot about some conspiracies and tricks, otherwise how could she force the two princes who had always sat firmly in the Diaoyutai to be powerless.
