Section 402 Lake Society
Hearing that his proposal was rejected by Luo Shizhi again, Fang Yuegong was really speechless. He can't even walk now, because he doesn't know what Xiong Dao is paying such a big price for.
Naturally, Xiong Dao will not tell the natives the truth about this matterβthe Travelers now look at the "ruled" people with the mentality of a shadow government.
Projects such as road and bridge building are the basic responsibility of the government, and if they are not done now, they will still be done in the future, and they will make early profits as soon as possible. As with education, the biggest beneficiary of any public project is always the government, not to mention the two-in-one form of government + super capitalists.
After seeing that Fang Fuzun was confused, Luo Shizhi finally told him another reason that Xiong Dao told him to calm his heart.
"Relocation?" What Fang Yuegong finally heard was this request.
"Yes, migrants!" Luo Shizhi explained with a smile: "It takes a large number of people to repair the sea pond. At that time, the four eldest brothers may wish to postpone the conscription, and gather those displaced people on the spot to call Huazi and work for relief. In this way, the danger of civil unrest is solved, and the living are also meritorious. β
Speaking of which, Luo Shizhi finally showed his fox tail, "As for this after the sea pond is repaired, it is also a scourge for this generation to keep it, and mud legs are used to making trouble, so you might as well hand it over to Master Xiong and send it to Yizhou to pioneer it." β
"How daring!" After Fang Yuegong landed on the ground with a big stone in his heart at this time, he reflexively talked about the price again, "Wrapping up the people under the rule of this mansion and turning them into other places, what crime should the surname Xiong be!?" β
"This surnamed Xiong, with the respect of the governor, sent hundreds of thousands of hungry people to Yizhou last year, and countless people are alive, and he is probably guilty."
"E", after Fang Yuegong heard this pretending to be stupid and slapping his face, he was a little stuck for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
"Fourth eldest brother, Master Xiong has come out with seawater-like silver to help you repair the sea pond and leave history. Helping this kind of once-in-a-lifetime good thing is just to move some displaced people. Everyone Xiong Wencan knows both public and private, you are a sesame-sized official, what kind of big cloves of garlic do you fill? β
"Uh" Fang Yuegong was a little sneering at this time. The mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of taking people are short, in fact, compared to the political costs he imagined, the cost of sending some homeless people to settle down afterwards is too small for Fang Yuegong.
In fact, all dynasties have had the saying of "moving people to the real side". Criminals, outcasts, and even sons-in-law are the main occupations assigned to the frontier.
Now that Cao has returned to the imperial court and become a military general with a full set of edicts in the Eight Classics, the Yizhou he personally opened up is also regarded as the frontier of the imperial court to a certain extent.
Based on this theory, the operators have a legal basis for sending some displaced people who cannot survive to the frontier military guards, at least in terms of policy.
Therefore, after Fang Yuegong was reminded by Luo Shizhi just now, he immediately realized the operation idea of this matter, "moving the people to the real side".
After recalling the content of Xiong Wencan's solution to the drought and hunger in the Di newspaper last year, Fang Yuegong already had a plan in his heart, and his words were much softer: "Alas, as a parent in a place, I can't bear to see my children displaced and separated. β
"Joke, those people who go to Yizhou, life is good, it's better than waiting for death here." Luo Shizhi looked contemptuous at this time, "There are already hundreds of thousands of people in Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong who are working and farming in Yizhou, if life is difficult, won't those mud legs run back early?" β
"Maybe it's to be detained."
"Fourth eldest brother, you said the opposite. Yizhou has never been able to help people come and go, but after those people arrive at the port, they will call friends and friends, drag their families with them, and never look back. If you don't believe it, when your cronies come back, the truth will be revealed. β
"In that case, the official can say it in his head." Fang Yuegong now agreed, but his body was still resisting, "The fifty thousand taels of silver should be used to help your master bear raise people, don't look for me afterwards, and if you find it, you won't pay it back." β
"It's easy to say, the port has been collecting accounts recently, and there is so much money that I can't put it down." Luo Shiyi had a prepared strange smile on his face, "Fifty thousand is not enough, if it is not enough, the little brother will send another fifty thousand tomorrow!" β
"Seriously!?"
"Pure gold."
"Why is that?"
"Master Xiong said that if the fourth eldest brother is interested, it is not a problem to send another 58,000 silver. When the elder brother receives the silver, he can start to manipulate the matter of 'Shibian', and he only needs to send 20,000 people to Yizhou, and the silver will be settled, and the rest will go to the fourth eldest brother. β
"Bastard! In this way, isn't this official a human trafficker? β
"It's better than the prefect of Huayuan, right? Look at your poor sour energy yesterday, you still want to build a sea pond? β
"Stay, stay, let the official think about it again."
"What else are you thinking about, such a good thing, and there is nowhere to find it with a lantern"
At the same time that Xiong Dao's silver bullet offensive smashed into Songjiang Mansion, the land deed alliance also made adjustments according to the situation.
Regarding the Songjiang Mansion Ya's side, the land deed alliance vetoed Fang Yuegong's lion mouth wide open at the first time.
The joke is just that the gang will harass Xiong Dao a little bit for a few days, so that he has no time to send people to burn the mulberry garden. For this little bit of work, Fang Yuegong actually dared to put forward the condition of levying an additional 8 percent of silver per mu of land for "sea pond donation", which is really crazy!
scolded Fang Yuegong, a Hubei nine-headed man, for his treacherous and cunning work, and he was not a son of man, so the land deed alliance unanimously decided to give up the door of Songjiang Mansion, be self-reliant, and tide over the difficulties.
The so-called self-reliance is actually very simple, from now on, the tenants of the manor must organize themselves and take care of their mulberry gardens and fish ponds all night, so as not to be harmed by the Xiong Dao faction.
This kind of patrol-like operation also requires resources. A large number of tenants patrolled day and night, and the cost of fuel and grain was always subsidized by the owner.
Of course, these costs are nothing compared to the taxes of the Hubei Yankees. After all, this kind of high-intensity confrontation doesn't need to last long, and everyone can afford to grit their teeth. In addition, after the new hawkish gentleman Huang said that he had half a warehouse of old rotten rice to take out to support you, the morale of the alliance suddenly rose again.
While doing a good job of defense, another envoy from the alliance also came to Sanshan Island.
Eight hundred miles of Taihu Lake, north of Wuxi, east of Suzhou, across the river, Zhejiang two provinces, the scenery is beautiful, the sky and water are blended, there are mountains outside the mountain, there is a lake in the lake, it is really a feng shui treasure place that gathers bandits and hides soldiers.
Sanshan Island is located in the Taihu Lake in the southwest of Suzhou, and is a large mountain island and two small mountain islands.
There are a total of 40 or 50 large and small islands in the middle of Taihu Lake, and Sanshan Island is located at the junction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and has always been the throat of Jiangsu, Shanghai and Hangzhou waterway traffic, so bandits often take advantage of this place to turn, and the four sides patrol back and forth.
Since it is such an important place, the residents of Sanshan Island are naturally inseparable from the bandits. In the Ariake area, there are more than 3,000 permanent residents in 600 households on Sanshan Island, and these people in addition to fishing and planting oranges, joining the gang to go out to do a ticket has become a daily routine in their leisure time.
Historically, there was an average of one temple per 018 square kilometers within Sanshan Island. On the small island, all kinds of temples, temples, and nunnery have actually squeezed down more than 10 of them, which shows how fierce the battle of faith is in the land of Sanwu and Anointing.
And today, in an abandoned nunnery on the main island of Sanshan, there is a meeting going on.
Dozens of Jianghu men dressed in short brown and with short blades around their waists were standing in a circle around the Buddhist platform in the temple at the moment, and these participants included the three largest bandit leaders in Taihu Lake, as well as the shopkeeper of a small gang, and their cronies.
The conveners of this meeting were two literati wearing green robes and square scarves.
The first of these two is a Xiucai named Mao Yi. This person is different from ordinary talents, he was born with a big waist and a round waist, a horizontal face, and he doesn't look like a scholar.
At this moment, Mao Xiucai was stepping on the Bodhisattva clay statue on the ground with one foot, raised his body, and talked to the bosses around him, "In the cellar of the 'port office', there are no less than 400,000 taels of silver saved!" The old man said, this vote is not divided, it is all up to you to take it yourself! β
Mao Xiucai said this, and glanced around proudly, "The old man also said that after this fact, all the shopkeepers who have contributed to the future will increase the price of 'shipment' by half!" Hehe, how's it going, generous enough, right? β
Sure enough, as soon as Mao Xiucai's words fell, most of the faces of the people around him appeared with excitement mixed with cruel smiles.
The next moment, a short, stocky black-faced man asked everyone's thoughts: "How are the precautions in that private port?" β
This man's name is Niu Jinluo, and he is the boss of the Chaohu Gang who is the strongest among the three lake bandits.
Chaohu Lake is in Jiangbei, so the people of the Chaohu Gang are naturally from Jiangbei. Most of these people are bankrupt and unemployed Caofu and Cao Ding on the canal, and by the way, they include the homeless bandits from Jiangbei who come to beg for a living, and the Chaohu Gang has always been one of the large forces in Taihu Lake.
Hearing the question of the boss of the Chaohu Gang, Mao Yi nodded, then took out a roll of maps from his sleeve, spread it out on the dusty Buddhist platform, and gave the group of thieves a detailed introduction to the defense of Shanghai Port, "Now all the warehouses are empty, and there are not a few people left in the merchant houses in the outer port, so you only need to smash Huanglong when you wait." β
"The port office is next to the wharf, it is the only two-story stone building, which is very conspicuous and can be seen from afar. There is only a low wall around the periphery of this compound, which is less than five feet 1.5 meters high), and even the children have climbed over it. β
"There are fifty people in the bear road, all of them holding birds. You need to be careful here, that bird can shoot a shot of medicine within ten breaths, and the range is three or four hundred steps, and the end is very powerful! β
"You should also be careful with the poisonous smoke and cannons, I don't know what kind of herbs are mixed with them, they are very domineering, the middle one has a runny mouth and nose, and they can't see, so they need to cover their faces with wet wipes to solve it."
"In addition, there are about fifty people in the copywriting tent, and they rest in these low courtyards at night."
"There are about 500 other people, all of whom spend the night in a distant barn, and there is no need to deal with them."
"There is only one thing that you need to keep in mind that the life of the bear road must not be touched. This man has a bun, which is different from the short hair under his hands, and it is very easy to recognize. β
"After you get it, please go back to Taihu Lake respectfully, and wait for me to discuss important matters with him."
