Chapter 209: Cleanup (I)
"People die for money, birds die for food, in the past, Guangwu Zhongxing Han, if you want to do it, you still kill people's heads, not to mention Ming Gong."
Guo Jia's words made Ma Qiang feel a little powerless.
Speaking of which, Ma Qiang did not fight local tyrants and divide the land like the red regime in later generations, but just cleared the fields.
Even if all the signs of Ma Qiang's clear fields are implemented in place, these wealthy families will still have a large amount of land in their hands, and they will not become destitute because of this, at most it will be two dishes minus the table.
But even so, these heroes are still unwilling.
"In fact, if we use our new farm tools, the wealthy families who have cleared the fields can also rely on the tenants in their hands to open up wasteland, and the income will only be more." Ma Qiang sighed, he also knew that he could use time to slowly guide these Haoqiang, but he didn't have that much time.
Thinking is not something that can be changed in a day or two.
"But if you don't clear the field, won't you be able to get more?" Guo Jia smiled and said, "Ming Gong, these people are insatiable. β
Ma Qiang couldn't help but think of an article he saw in later generations.
It is said that it bore 10 apples, 9 were taken away, and 1 was obtained for itself. The apple tree was indignant at this, so it cut off its meridians and refused to grow.
The next year, it bore 5 apples, 4 were taken away, and 1 was given to itself, and it felt that it had doubled the proportion it received.
The author thinks that it can continue to grow, for example, if it bears 100 fruits, 90 are taken away, and it gets 10 for itself, and if it can bear 1000 fruits, it can get more.
And I also think that don't care too much about the fruit, and growth is the most important thing.
Ma Qiang just wants to smack this author's face.
He forgot that there was another option for the apple tree.
That is to transform into a tree man and explode those thieves who steal the fruits of their labor!
Thinking of this, Ma Qiang suddenly became murderous.
"Bong-hyo! These people are all obstacles to my Han's progress!
The world is the world of the people of the world, not the world of a certain person or some heroes!
Since these people are not even willing to make concessions, there is no need to give in!
Let the wheels of history crush them! Make a battle plan immediately, I think that the decisive battle with them will begin soon! β
This is the first time Guo Jia has seen Ma Qiang reveal his killing intent so much, and he can't help but make the corners of his mouth curl.
In his heart, Ma Qiang is good at everything, but he is a little more benevolent.
Now it's okay, it seems that he, the Ming Gong, is still willing to kill.
"Ming Gong rest assured, since these heroes are still in the shadows, I think as long as we show our flaws, we can let them show their feet."
"How do you reveal a flaw?"
"They must know the benefits of the Ming Gong's armor soldiers, but they don't know the power of the Ming Gong Water Division.
Ming Gong can announce the date of the sailor's battle, and then invite the three elders of Qingdao to watch the battle, so the news will inevitably spread, and when the time comes..."
After listening to Guo Jia's rough plan, Ma Qiang nodded and said, "Just do this, let's start immediately!" β
ββLi Jia, Huangxian County
"What? Ma Qiang is ready to go on the expedition in five days? β
Li Si is a middle-aged man over forty years old, speaking of which, although the Li family has been managed well by him over the years, but in terms of official position, the Li family has long lost its former glory.
In the past, the Li family, who inherited the Marquis of Zhongshui for generations, was in the generation of Li Chun, the grandson of Li Zhong, because Li Chun's mother killed Li Chun's uncle, the Li family was stripped of his title.
Therefore, Li Si is ambitious in the face of the troubled times that are coming again, hoping to make contributions and recover the lintel.
I have to say, the lintel is quite tired, so many people want to recover it...
"Ma Qiang's sailor has already been trained? This sea is completely different from the inland river. Li Si asked suspiciously.
"The head of the family, this Ma Qiang has always been arrogant, and since the beginning of the army, he has never been defeated, I'm afraid this time, he is underestimating the enemy!"
"Hmm... It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Immediately contact people and horses from all over the country, and when he and Ma Qiang raise troops to attack Guan Cheng, it will be the day when we raise our troops! β
"No!"
- Qingdao Port
Several well-dressed Haoqiang followed Ma Qiang while listening to Ma Qiang talk about the significance of this thief.
"After the pirates are eliminated, I am going to set this Qingdao as the largest port base in my Qingzhou, and then the merchant ships can depart from here and directly connect to Youzhou, and the port in Huangxian will also be expanded!
In addition, there is the Wa Kingdom opposite us, who of you knows about the Wa Kingdom? β
"But the Japanese slave kingdom to the east?"
You Haoqiang thought about it and asked uncertainly.
"Oh, it's one thing!"
Ma Qiang didn't know what the situation was in Japan at this time, he only knew that it was probably at this time that there was a person named Himiko who seemed to be very powerful in Japan, and he also came to the Central Plains to worship and got the golden seal of the pro-Wei king.
"When the time comes, our sea ships can still do business with Silla and the Wa Kingdom, and fishing boats can go out to sea to fish, but the situation in the past few years has not been good, and I can only ask for food from the sea."
Those heroes looked at each other with disdainful expressions on their faces.
What else is there in the Wa Kingdom besides people? Are there any other exchanges?
went out to sea to fish, I don't know how many people died in the belly of the fish, this horse is in a high position, but he doesn't know what to say, he only knows that he oppresses our scholars, and he really should be killed!
Ma Qiang didn't care about the eye contact behind him, came to the dock, looked at the military formation that had been neatly arranged, and said, "This battle is the first battle of our Qingzhou Navy!" Victory, the people of Qingzhou have peace, defeated, pirates are rampant, hundreds of thousands of people are hungry, success or failure in this move, can you have confidence? β
Zhang Bo and Yue Yang stood at the front and shouted together, "Use me for the first battle!" Use me to win! β
"Fight!"
On a fishing boat in the distance, the fisherman watched as the fleet of boats in the harbor slowly sailed out, and immediately ran north.
On Laoshan Mountain, Guo Jia was holding a huge telescope looking at the sea around him, and the movement of the fishing boat just now naturally couldn't escape his eyes.
"Did you report it?" Guo Jia looked at Gan Shi on the side and said, "Gan Daochang, those people on the land will please ask you." β
Gan Shi looked at the binoculars in Guo Jia's hand greedily and said, "No problem, I said, Guo Junshi, the camp owner said that this thing is a reward for me, you said that you haven't let me touch it until now, is it too much?" β
"Such a sharp weapon, you take it to look at the stars, and look at the moon is too much!" Guo Jia felt angry as soon as he said it, it is said that this is called an astronomical telescope that took more than a month to make, and such a treasure was actually for Gan Shi to see the stars.
You say, what a difference you can make between looking at the stars with this thing and looking at it with your eyes!
Why don't you bring them to me to find pirates!
