Chapter 570: The Shepherd's Routine
"Natural disasters occur every year, and people die of starvation every year, no matter how much famine comes, it will not reach us.
The hungry people rebelled and killed.
What are the people to us?
It is the flock, we are scholars, we are shepherds, the flock encounters a famine, we try to save as much as possible, but as long as the flock is still there, after a while it will be prosperous again, but in order to save the flock, we will pay for ourselves, and even feed the sheep with our bodies It is stupid.
You are the enemy of the landlord.
But aren't you a big landlord?
You are the enemy of the nobles.
But aren't you noble?
You are the same as them, we are all the same, the emperor sits in the world, we are the herdsmen on behalf of the sky, and the people are our flock, this is the Gangchang, what we need to do is to ensure that this Gangchang is sustainable, not destroy it.
But you're ruining it.
Indeed, you have changed the days of these people.
They have enough food and clothing, but now they still need officials, do they still need emperors? You keep saying that those people in the same country are rebellious ministers and thieves, but they are only gentry, and they only want some power, but now you are turning everyone into rebellious ministers and thieves. You let the sheep know that you are not a flock, you let the sheep know that the horns on your head can also be a dead person, and they still need you to lead them, and when they find that they don't need you at all, can they still make them obedient? They don't need an emperor, they don't need ministers, so do they still need you?
Whether you want to be emperor or not, you are doing it wrong.
You want to be emperor.
Then you should co-opt the gentry.
Use them to maintain this program, even with your strength, it will be successful, the people that the imperial court relies on are none other than the Liaodong army, but the Liaodong army will not really resist you in a bloody battle to the end, Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao raised their arms outside the pass, and the imperial court was finished.
If you don't want to be an emperor.
Then you are also wrong.
Because you ruined yourself, you beat the local tyrants and divided the land?
You are the first one who needs to be divided by the local tyrants, you are the richest person in the Ming Dynasty, you have more than one million acres of fertile land, who else needs to be divided by the local tyrants more than you?
Do you want to save people?
But as a shepherd, you need the flock not to resist, not to feed them.
What if half of the people starved to death?
As long as we don't die, as long as we can maintain the norms of this shepherd, it will not be a few decades and it will be a prosperous era, and our children and grandchildren will still be able to stand on top and be this shepherd forever for generations. But after you ruin this Gangchang, will there be such a good thing again? What's more, for this reason, he has turned himself into a public enemy of the world, all the traitors of the gentry who cut their teeth, once they fail, they will be doomed, not to mention you, your descendants will never recover, and even if you die, you will be whipped. ”
Fang Congzhe said.
He was speaking from his heart, and he even said that he supported Yang Xin as emperor.
It cannot be ruled out that this was a temptation of the northern gentry.
After all, Yang Dudu can now be regarded as a strong soldier, and he is an invincible general, with the current situation, he already has the strength to win the world, and the only problem is to put himself in the position of the public enemy of the gentry, forcing the gentry to resist resolutely.
What if not?
What if he switched to working with the gentry?
Then Shang Zhouzuo's elite army will immediately join his command, they have long been loyal to the Zhu family, and they have been beaten by Yang Xin to retreat, if it weren't for this guy beating the local tyrants and dividing the fields to force them to a dead end, with their temperament, they would have surrendered a long time ago. And the armies in the southeast of Liaodong may not be able to block him, even if they can, it is useless, because Cao Wenzhao and others who stayed in Liaodong will definitely go south to support him, and even those households in his new city can go straight to the capital, and those Tusi in the southwest will not resist even if they don't support him, in fact, most of them will support him.
The Zhu family changed hands.
And if he is willing to do so, the gentry can abandon the Zhu family and choose him instead.
It's not a big deal.
In the final analysis, the gentry have long been familiar with this kind of thing, and when they need to change the emperor, as long as the emperor is still willing to share the world with them, or the emperor is still willing to let them continue to be shepherds and maintain this so-called Gangchang, then change, who sits in that seat is not sitting. Besides, the apocalypse is not a good bird, although the gentry now praise him as the Holy Lord Mingjun, but everyone is a fox, who can't guess that this little emperor is the culprit behind the scenes.
People have been pretending to be pigs and eating tigers!
Yang Xin is just his dog, and now it's just that this dog has become a wolf, so His Majesty the Emperor has to show his true face, but Yang Xin's evil deeds over the years are really counted in the account book, the monarch and the minister are half of each other, if Yang Xin can accept this exchange, just by changing the dynasty to slaughter the pigs of the Zhu family, the gentry are still waiting to make a lot of money, so that the past losses will be compensated.
Of course, the main thing is that I don't know the bottom of the fight.
The northern gentry also know that 100,000 Liaodong iron cavalry may not be able to win steadily!
These 100,000 Liaodong iron cavalry are indeed the elite of the battlefield, but the problem is that these elites are afraid of Yang Xin, Yang Xin's prestige in Liaodong is like a shadow, and the entire Liaodong Army has relied on the Yang family to supply logistics over the years, and it was instinctively cordial when facing Yang Xin. But there is no one else available except them, at this time, the rapid improvement of the level of war technology has long kicked the old army to the garbage heap, although the military department can still be used to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops from all over the country, but Lu Qin's achievements on the battlefield have told Sun Chengzong the result.
Only the Liaodong Legion could fight a decisive battle with the new army under Yang Xin.
In this case, the northern gentry really fantasized that Yang Xin could wake up, and if he could really wake up, then it didn't matter if he sold the apocalypse.
But......
"Uncle, I understand what you said."
Yang Xin said very seriously.
Fang Congzhe looked at him.
"But I'm just going to do it!"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
Old man Fang took a deep breath, and could see that he was extremely disappointed, and he didn't know whether he was disappointed that his niece and son-in-law could not be a loyal minister, or that his niece could not be the founding queen.
"You go back to your majesty.
The transportation will not stop, and the grain sent by the Yang family to the capital will not decrease, and even the taxes that should be released from Beijing in the past will not be less, as for what is retained, it will still be retained, but it will no longer pay to the clan. I only need this piece of land, and my responsibilities will not be less, even if I win against Sun Chengzong, I will not cut off the money and food in the capital.
In addition, my dealer in Tianjin will not attack the capital.
He can rest assured of this.
But.
The Yang family's property in the north, he can't move either, how much the Yang family loses, how much I will deduct from the annual tax in Beijing, of course, Shoucheng Qianzhuang will still operate normally. If this money bank collapses, the silver deposit in the inner treasury will be gone, so everything will be business as usual in this bank, and the same business of my Yang family in various places will also be the same. And the families of these people who are currently following me must also be taken care of, if someone bullies their family members and forces them to give me a yellow robe, then it is difficult for me to refuse. ”
Yang Xin said.
He will definitely not cut off the money and food in the capital.
In that case, people will starve to death in the capital this year, not to mention that the militia is originally paying rent and taxes, and he has to collect a large amount of surplus grain every year, and in addition to supplying the local area, the rest will be sold to the north.
In exchange, the Yang family's industry in the north was protected, so that they could continue to maintain the donkey transportation line, and the same sweet potato promotion and even reclamation of those businesses in various places would still be maintained, if Sun Chengzong dared to move this, then don't blame Yang Dudu for tightening the noose for him.
"Don't worry about that!"
Fang Congzhe said very simply.
There is really no need to worry about this, no one dares to move the Yang family Zhuangzi in Tianjin, mainly because they can't beat it if they want to.
It was a series of twenty fortresses connected by the Minus River, which could be called a sub-armament, and those family members were the real core of the Yang family, backed by an arsenal and a sea transportation line, which could make the attackers fight to despair. Moreover, the terrain there is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, in addition to fighting along the Jianhe River, you can only start from Tianjin and follow the main road to shake the new castle.
Sun Chengzong has long studied it.
It is estimated that it will take two years to lay down these 20 bastions, and it may not be successful.
But as long as Yang Xin is provoked to cut off the transportation, there will be no supply from this grain-producing area, and the capital will have to starve all over the place in less than half a year, and the grain imported into the capital there is not self-produced, and a large number of Yang family fleets are transported from the south, especially the reclamation areas of the Li family and the Yang family in Taiwan. The two families, one south and one north, have reclaimed more than 300,000 acres of fertile land, all of which are high-quality paddy fields, which can produce two seasons of rice a year, and last year the Li family shipped out more than 200,000 stone rice.
Although the Yang family has just started for more than a year, they are already self-sufficient, and they can transport rice out this year.
The result of Sun Chengzong's attack on the new city was to play the capital to death.
Mrs. Yang doesn't have to do anything, just play with him, and Sun Chengzong will have to cry within a year.
Holding the food stick is so arrogant, if you dare to fight, you have to be prepared for the people of the capital to rebel when they are hungry, and this does not include that once they fail, those Yang family members will go straight to the capital, and the left and right will be a little distance, and the cavalry will run faster and the soldiers will come to Zhangjiawan for two days, in fact, what Sun Chengzong is most afraid of during this time is that those families will do this, but fortunately, they have not moved.
As for Shoucheng Qianzhuang, he didn't dare to move.
Because the silver of the 9,000-year-old and a large number of wealthy nobles and even eunuchs and gentry in the capital is stored in the Shoucheng Money Village and in the silver treasury of the new castle.
And a lot of the court's payments also rely on this bank.
Did it go out of business?
The entire imperial court suffered heavy losses.
In fact, it has become the equivalent of the central bank of the Ming Dynasty.
The collapse of a central bank is an exaggeration, and whoever it belongs to must keep it running.
As for the Yang family's business in various places......
Luck!
Yang Xin has Cao Yun in his hand, and this bit of face must be given.
