Chapter 209: The Role of Intelligence
After the affairs of Chang'an were explained, Sun Xiangfu hurried to Xingfu Village to pack his bags, and at the same time, this public opinion attack completely stinked the Cui Wang Zheng Lu family, and also made him enter the must-kill list of these families, which is the biggest provocation they have received since the Sui Dynasty, and the matter is afraid that it will not be so good.
In the private room of Xinxianglou, Wang Lin, who had not appeared for a long time, gathered the sons and brothers of Cui Zhenglu's family and some of their vassal families in Guanzhong.
"You brothers should know what it means to meet today!"
Wang Lin swept towards everyone one by one with his eyes, and many families also nodded in response.
Among them, Cui Mian continued, "There are always some short-sighted guys who can't see the general trend clearly, and they can't figure out what is the basis for long-term peace and stability in this world." Without the talents cultivated by the great families such as us, where would there be such officials who govern the world.
Without the strict control of the township law that we enforced, there would have been a mountain of surplus grain.
Those people themselves don't know how to herdsmen production, and when they come to this famine, they will come to covet the grain we have so hard to hoard, how can there be such a reason in the world.
I intend to get rid of the clown who always comes out to do things with the power of thunder, so that the interests of our family can be protected. ”
Different positions, different opinions, in the eyes of the family, they have contributions, there are merits, so it is also appropriate to have rewards, others are not as smart as them, and they deserve to be poor and starving.
This statement, in later generations, is not a problem, whoever has the ability to make money, the richer it is, the easier it is to make money.
However, if you don't grasp it well, it's all wrong, and when you make profits, you don't care about the lives of others, or even break the law and disrupt the country, then it's a big mistake.
It is not only their families who create wealth, but without the bloody struggle of the soldiers, can you enjoy peace in the rear with peace of mind?
Without the hard work of the people, can you support your family to spend extravagantly and cultivate talents?
The wealth of a country is created by all people, and it should be distributed reasonably, and if the distribution is unbalanced, there will be problems, and the imperial court plays the role of this distributor.
And the big families continue to dig the walls of the court, so that their own income is more distributed, then, the other classes will be dissatisfied, really think that those who are soldiers have no food, will not carry a knife to kill you! If you really think that the people who are hungry and anxious, they will not dare to wave their sickles and hoes against you! It's just that there is currently a court to maintain it, and it hasn't reached that point.
Of course, everyone present thought that Cui Mian's words were right, because like Cui Mian, they were vested interests, and no one disliked the wealth in their hands too much, and the greedy desire was endless.
"What Brother Cui said is that we and other families have a lot of dead soldiers, and it is not difficult to take down that kid surnamed Sun." Wu Ting also got up and agreed.
"Don't underestimate that kid, his guards are well-equipped, never alone, unless there is a killing array of more than a thousand people, it is difficult to kill him in one fell swoop, with the temperament of the current emperor, if we act like this, I am afraid that he will kill, this purge in the court is to warn us and others."
Lu Wenyuan mentioned Li Shimin's purge of Cao Yun and the family officials who were often related to Li Xiaochang a few days ago, and everyone felt a little chill on their necks.
Li Xiaochang's more than 20,000 rebels were wiped out within two days of entering Guanzhong, and all of his fellow cadres and party members were sentenced to beheading.
This made them realize the fact that Li Shimin's force was something they could not provoke, even if they combined the strength of several of them, in terms of leading the troops to fight, they were not the opponents of the Li clan in Longxi, if they couldn't fight, you had to exercise restraint, in case they played, they might be killed by themselves.
"That's why Brother Wang invited everyone to discuss!"
Lu Wenyuan poured cold water, but Zheng Xuancheng immediately came out to play a round to liven up the atmosphere, they are the top figures in these families, and the tacit understanding of controlling the scene has long been there.
"I don't know what Brother Wang thinks?"
Wang Lin smiled, and after his gaze swept over everyone's faces, he said, "Who are we?" Do you need to care about that field? Can he jump and fight again?
Ladies and gentlemen, in a month's time, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, do you know what that means?
This means that there will be millions of hungry ghosts in the land of Guanzhong, and we have food in our hands, you say, can his Li family fight again, can he beat the millions of hungry ghosts in the level? ”
"Can't ······"
"Yes! When the time comes, it's not who has the bread and who has the final say······"
The echo sounded from everywhere, Wang Lin nodded with satisfaction, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said, "What the emperor holds is just the grain of Lingnan and Huainan soybeans. ”
Although the people sitting here are not very old, they are all people who have come from the Wude period, and they have experienced that short period of fighting rice and thousands of dollars, at that time, seventy or eighty percent of the wealth of the entire country flowed into the hands of their families, so that they obtained the first large-scale expansion in the early days of Li Tang's establishment.
And Li Yuan's attitude towards the family is to win over and reuse, which can't be completely blamed on him, because before that, he Longxi Li family, is also one of the big families, Li Yuan, who first ascended the throne, failed to look at the family with the long-term vision of the ruler It is also normal, in order for the imperial power to be able to stabilize quickly, a large number of talents born in these major families were appointed as officials, and they also fully delegated power and gave them super high status, which made these families gradually digest what they ate into their mouths and transform them into more knowledge, talents, The monopoly of fertile land resources gradually controlled most of the discourse in the court.
You must know that when the new dynasty was first established, it was the best period for power reshuffle, and it was precisely because Li Yuan did not grasp a good degree at that time that it led to more and more passivity in the back, making the family forces intertwined in all aspects and difficult to shake, making it as strong as Taizong, and he was unable to solve the problems of the family well when he was in power.
For Sun Xiangfu, Wang Lin has a series of plans, since he was packed and sunk into the canal, he vowed to take revenge, the reason why he did not appear in Chang'an during this time is because he went to the Guanwai, why did Jieli and Tuli suddenly divide the winner? In addition to the fact that Tuli does not have Jieli's intelligence, it is also because Wang Lin helped Jieli, and Jieli made an offensive posture against Datang outside the Yumen Pass, which was also to repay Wang Lin.
However, the defeated and unknown Tuli did not escape his use, and the person who encouraged him to rob Shuozhou was Wang Lin, Wang Xu was going to kill him, he would not let Wang Xu live in peace of mind, and he happened to solve Sun Xiangfu by the way.
If Sun Xiangfu knew all this, he would definitely be glad that his provocation plan was successful, and at the same time, he would be able to understand the meaning of Tang Fengyi's words after getting drunk, when Yang Guangchu took the throne, the national strength reserves of the Sui Dynasty were several times stronger than those of today's Tang Dynasty, why did he launch a million army, three times and twice, but he couldn't defeat a mere Goryeo? That's because these stalling families don't want Yang Guang to win, they want the war to continue, especially this kind of foreign war where we are strong and the enemy is weak.
A family with wisdom and wealth, like some wise rich people in later generations, has too many ways to play with others.
Wang Lin's words made everyone hold their breath, the scene of fighting rice and thousands of dollars, they only need to fantasize about it, and they can't help but breathe heavily, is it possible that our family will usher in another explosion of strength?
Seeing that everyone's appetite was satisfied, Wang Lin said again, "The mission of the Wa Kingdom actually arrived in Shandong a month ago, with hundreds of ships and more than 1,000 samurai, and in addition, there are fleets of Silla, Baekje, and Goryeo, which were also invited by this son······"
"Brother Wang means to let these people unite ······"
"Ben Gongzi didn't say anything, just told them that we have everything they want, and if they want to get it from us, they have to do something for us."
Wang Lin stopped the man who wanted to speak.
"Hehe, Brother Wang's methods are clever, and my Lu family's skills are not bad, money! My Lu family has a lot, just take out the profits from selling grain from Chang'an in the past few months, and I can buy a few percent of the soybeans produced in Huainan, I don't know if those virtuous brothers are intended, and together with my Lu family, they will take all the soybeans produced in Huainan······"
Capital, once it is converted into a weapon, the harm to the society is huge, but the capital in the hands of these people is too huge, so they can easily bring harm to this society, Sun Xiangfu's public opinion attack completely annoyed them, so they are going to jump out and do things. However, now that Wang Lin is silent about dealing with Sun Xiangfu, many people with flexible brains know that he should have other arrangements, and what will be discussed later is nothing more than how to jointly seek benefits.
If there is no accident, after the end of this meeting, Datang's food resources will become even more scarce, because, whether it is Huainan, Jiangnan, Shuzhong, Hedong, Hebei, all the output of places that can relieve Guanzhong will be jointly purchased by these people, and Wang Lin wants to play a big plan that can surpass Wang Xu's achievements.
However, what they didn't know was that a person who was hundreds of meters away from them could find out his conversation.
The telescope, which has transcended this era, has finally played a huge role since its birth, and Wuyinger saw most of the scenes in the Xinxiang Building with a telescope on a tall banyan tree next to the release pond in the East City, who called Wang Lin to organize this meeting on such a large scale, using the largest and most open private room on the top floor of the Xinxiang Building! During this period, due to the problem of lighting, the houses in the restaurant were all open with large windows.
Lip language is the key technology for them to obtain intelligence at a long distance, before that, Wuyinger had observed Wang Lin for a while, and he had already had some understanding of the movement habits of his lips when he spoke, yes, he had been observing Wang Lin's lips, and what he said, Wuyinger would repeat it in a whisper, and several of his followers would quickly record it with a pen.
The information about Wang Lin was listed as the first class by Sun Xiangfu, and it was personally investigated by Wuying'er and passed on by Shen Xing'er himself, so when Sun Xiangfu, who was about to leave for Shuozhou in Xingfu Village, had not yet set off, Shen Xing'er quickly passed the news.
"Lord, this is the latest information about Wang Lin."
Seeing Shen Xing'er's hurried face, Sun Xiangfu immediately took a thick stack of love newspapers and opened it to read, the more he looked, his face was also dignified, Wang Lin's revenge came too quickly, and it was not to retaliate against Sun Xiangfu alone, but against the entire Tang society.
