Chapter 384: Strategic Goals

"I'm afraid this Du Gongzi is a disciple of a rich family."

In the inner courtyard, Qiongyue and the girls were happily eating inside, praising Xiaoyu's craftsmanship and improving a lot.

But after a while, they heard the sound of the dispute in the outer courtyard, and after glancing at each other, Qiong Yue shook her head and spoke.

When she didn't meet Lu Chensheng, she couldn't be clearer about what life was like in the village.

Sometimes it's a day of starvation, and then you get through it.

Guaranteed two meals a day, that's a luxury.

It is because of this that Qiong Yue understands how difficult the people are and how difficult they are.

It's her, and the days when she's hungry are never less.

Later, I met my husband, and my life was more comfortable.

"If you think about it, it's just the children of rich families that you think the people are doing well."

Bai Yi nodded lightly when she heard this, thinking that she was a general, and she needed to take out her usual money to help some soldiers' homes.

Some soldiers' families have more people in their homes, so naturally they will not be able to eat.

Many of them were starved to death, and some of them sold their daughters and sold them as slaves.

Bai Yi saw a lot, and naturally knew how hard these people lived, and he was even more deeply touched by what Xianggong said.

"I didn't know the ideal of Xianggong before, and if I knew, I would have rebelled against all those soldiers."

Bai Yi said this, with a little regret on her pretty face.

Bai Yi's prestige in the army is naturally undoubted, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his liver and brain are ruined.

It's just that at that time, Bai Yi felt that even if he rebelled, he couldn't take all the soldiers away.

After all, food is a problem, and at that time, I didn't plan to come to this city, but the logistics couldn't keep up at all, and recruiting too many soldiers was easy to cause panic.

In addition, she didn't want so many soldiers to follow her and leave her homeland.

So he only brought 2,000 people.

Looking back now, the 2,000 people really brought too little, and it is not too much to bring more soldiers depending on the situation.

Don't put more pressure on his father-in-law, Bai Yi feels that he doesn't know where his father-in-law's limit is.

"Less also has some less benefits, if you really take it all away, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get out of the Zhou Kingdom, and it will be easy to be discovered."

At that time, Bai Yi only brought 2,000 people, and the other party found that it was still slow for a long time, so he gave Bai Yi a lot of time.

If you really leave with so many people, I'm afraid you will be discovered immediately.

Qiong Yue soothed, Bai Yi thought about it and felt right, but she didn't worry about it.

The fifth junior high school shook his head when he listened to it, "This Du Gongzi outside seems to be talented, but it's only in the poems, where do you know what folk suffering." ”

Although she was the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu family on the fifth day of junior high school, she later went to the street to ask for food for a long time.

Naturally, she can understand the suffering.

Several people were chatting on the side, and Du Rufang outside had a bit of decadence on his face.

"In this case, how should it be rectified?"

"Of course, it is to reduce the taxes of the people, and then strictly investigate the evasion of taxes by those squires, what is so difficult about this."

Lu Chensheng responded when he heard this, and his tone seemed reasonable.

Du Rufang suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this, this is called simple?

If the taxes of the people are reduced, who will pay the taxes to the treasury?

The annual expenses of the Great Cangguo are so much, and it is quite rich to say that it is rich.

But the lavish places are also spent more, and the money is completely insufficient.

Nowadays, it is impossible to reduce taxes.

In addition to this, it is even more difficult to investigate and deal with those squires, these people are entrenched in small places, and they are all local emperors, and they have connections with local officials.

Unless you pull out the whole place, it's pretty much the same.

But once this is done, I am afraid that the rest of the people will be chilled when they see it, and they must rebel together.

Naturally, the emperor will not sit idly by, so most likely, this plan will not be passed.

"Brother Lu said with a smile, as soon as this method comes out, I am afraid that someone will rebel at that time, how can it be done?"

Du Rufang smiled bitterly and vetoed the plan.

Lu Chensheng didn't mind, "What's the difference?" If these squires don't rebel, there will be the rest of the people who will rebel at that time, how can the people not rebel if they have no land in their hands and can't eat?

Over the ages, how many people have not rebelled because of this?

A country that has just begun to prosper will eventually turn to extinction, and by that time, the land will be concentrated in the hands of so many people. ”

When Lu Chensheng said this, he sighed slightly.

Liu Wensheng's face changed slightly as he listened to it, "Then how should this be prevented?" If Brother Lu is done, won't you become like this in the future? ”

According to what Lu Chensheng said, it seems that all dynasties can't avoid such laws, so what if Lu Chensheng succeeds? So what should I do?

"What's so difficult about this, so that the land depreciation is to use the rest of the means to make money, so that the people are liberated from the land, not to be obsessed with farming and farming, the advantage of farming dynasties is the ability to make money per capita, quite stable, but there is a limit, it is impossible to break through."

Speaking of this, Lu Chensheng shook his head.

If you want to talk about the prosperity of ancient times, there is no time when foreign countries have compared with the ancient times of China, and that is because of farming.

But again, farming has its drawbacks.

"There are many ways to make money, but Brother Lu, as you said, there is no one to cultivate, where does the grain come from?"

Liu Wensheng was puzzled, looking at the current appearance of Xinghan City, he also knew that Lu Chensheng had many ways to make money.

There may be quite a few other ways to make money.

It's easy to make money, but how can the land be cultivated if it's not cultivated?

"Wouldn't it be nice to find a foreigner to farm."

Lu Chensheng smiled when he heard this, "The change at that time will definitely cause a lot of changes and pressures, and this needs some transfer, and the foreign race is obviously a good target." ”

According to Lu Chensheng's idea, when the time comes, find fertile land on the rest of the continent, and let these foreigners cultivate, suppress them by force, and limit their development.

In this way, the internal pressure has been relieved and the food has a way out.

The threat of external enemies has also disappeared since then, and there is nothing bad about it.

If you don't suppress the foreign enemy forever, maybe something will happen again, which is not what Lu Chensheng wants to see.
