Chapter 1121: Tempest (4)
After saying a few words to everyone, Bailiyan strode towards Gao Xun, he did not mean sarcasm, there was no bitter sarcasm, he still maintained the proper etiquette and attitude towards his senior brother, raised his hand and saluted:
"Gao Xiangguo, Benhou is polite."
Gao Xunmeng was stunned, he didn't know what Bailiyan wanted to do, he took a step back, and said in a cold tone:
"What do you want to do!"
Bai Liyan looked at him calmly, looking at the horror on his face, and the lost confidence, and the next moment he said:
"Senior brother, Xianguo has reached this point, who has benefited, who is behind the promotion, and who has harmed the world for his own selfishness, can't senior brother still see it."
"What the hell do you want!"
"Senior brother, you and I are in the same family, when Zhao Shuai is reincarnated, you and I are like brothers, although you and I have different political views, but the senior brother hopes that the senior brother can understand that this world is not the only one in the world, it is the world of the people in the world.
Water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, and the people's desire is the axiom of heaven. Those crooked and evil ways of the Chengdao faction have harmed the world a lot, do you want to follow in the footsteps of Gongsun Yue. ”
Bai Liyan persuaded him with kind words, Gao Xun was speechless, and seeing that his face softened after he was silent, Bai Liyan then said:
"From today on, the senior brother is still the senior brother, the Xiangguo is still the Xiangguo, the senior brother is the Xiangguo of the senior brother, and the Hou is the Si Nong of the Hou, and I hope that the senior brother will cherish himself and not live up to the dying trust of King Xian."
After finishing speaking, Bailiyan saluted again, and then Yu Yanping entered the inner hall.
At this moment, Gao Xun was stunned by what he said, and he really didn't know what Bailiyan wanted to do, and everyone in the cabinet also didn't know why Bailiyan was like this, and the storm was even more incomprehensible, he asked secretly:
"Why don't you solve him and stay in the position of Xiangguo, aren't you afraid that he will have bad thoughts again."
"It's easy to kill people, but it's hard to punish people. The conspiracy of the Chengdao faction is not terrible, but what is terrible is their political proposition. This idea of one-man supremacy is unacceptable, and at the same time it is necessary to unite the various factions, and killing people will not solve the problem.
In addition, from now on, it is necessary to make policy preparations for future political reunification, and I have a hunch that if we win this war, reunification will be faster and more thorough in the future. ”
When he was secretly thinking, Baili Yan had entered the inner hall, Jiang Yutie looked at Bai Li Yan who was striding forward with a blue face, only to see him bow down and salute, this salute was extremely deferential, not at all contrived and uncomfortable, even embarrassing and awkward, it is still the most basic etiquette for subordinates to see superiors.
"Chen Baili Yan see the king."
Jiang Yu was overwhelmed by this worship, he thought that Bailiyan would humiliate him, mock him, and ridicule him, but he was so respectful and humble, Jiang Yu didn't know how to speak. He was silent for a long time, and Bai Liyan kept bowing until Jiang Yu tentatively said:
"Yongxing Hou is exempt."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Putting away the number of salutes and straightening his waist, Bai Li Yan looked at the former prince, Jiang Yu also looked at the Yongxing Hou in front of him, but he was no longer as afraid and evasive as before, but looked at it squarely, when he received Bai Li Yan's gaze, his chest beat strongly, like a gasoline engine running, full of energy and blood.
"It's really time for Yongxing Hou to come." Jiang Yu said coldly.
"The minister does not dare, the minister ordered the king to be trapped in prison, it is the fault of the minister, and the minister is guilty of the failure of the king to keep filial piety for the first king, resulting in the abolition of the national government."
Jiang Yu didn't expect Bai Liyan to take responsibility for himself, and he was even more suspicious in his heart, he said:
"What does Yongxing Hou mean?"
At the next moment, Bai Liyan changed her tone just now and said solemnly:
"King, people are not saints and sages, but the most important thing is to know that mistakes can be changed, it is inevitable to miss once, and missing twice may be the negligence of inexperience, but as long as you know that you can change your mistakes, there is still room for change. The minister implored the king to plan for the sake of the country and the people of Xianguo, so take a step back. ”
"How does the Marquis of Yongxing want the widow to retreat, do you want the widow to be the prince for a time, so that his father can come back to life!"
"The king, if you are wrong, you are wrong, the ministers are guilty, and the king is also negligent, but the people are innocent. The king can't let the people bear this responsibility for the mistakes of the court, they can't afford it, and they shouldn't bear it, and ask the king to know it. ”
Jiang Yu was silent, he didn't expect Bailiyan to protect himself so much, and he didn't expect Bailiyan to stop himself. But he was still very careful, he knew very well that the man in front of him was the most dangerous person in the whole world, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't know when he would be killed.
The atmosphere was silent for a long time, and Jiang Zhen's vigilance relaxed, and he said:
"Yongxing Hou thinks how to clean up the current situation."
"First, since the king has been canonized, if he takes it back, the king will lose his trust in the nobles, but if he does not take it back, the people will have no land to cultivate. Therefore, the king may not take back the title, but all the land he has sealed shall be invalid. ”
"All nullified!" Jiang Yu was tough again, he said: "What's the use of not having empty land and a false name, do you want everyone to give them a sum of gold and silver to live up for a long time?" ”
"Great King, these people and others have family businesses, and most of them are engaged in business, even if they have no land, they can still live, but the people cannot live without land, even if they lease the land of the nobles, it is not a long-term solution. If the king wants to favor them, the tax law can be adjusted appropriately to give them preferential treatment, but the land must not be transferred. ”
"Is that possible?" Jiang Yu asked, quickly thinking in his heart.
"Back to the king, the Xianguo will not be limited to the current fourteen counties in the future, but all the land that is annexed will consume a lot of financial and material resources, and the king's subdivided titles can be engaged in commerce or industry, plus the imperial court concessions and tax incentives, the future benefits are far more than the income from the land.
On the contrary, if the land is arbitrarily divided now, it will not only intensify the contradictions between the court and the people, but also destroy the foundation and shake the foundation of the country. Everything that is happening now is the result of the land. But if the land problem is solved, there is still room for manoeuvre. ”
Nationalizing land by giving the aristocracy certain taxes and industrial privileges in exchange was an important measure for Bailiyan to sweep away political resistance in the next two decades.
Because he knows very well that with the development of science and technology, the industries that are now released, although they are high-end industries at the moment, will become low-end industries and eliminated industries in the later stage, and even disappear in the end. More due to the development of new industries in the times, the dilution of market funds and capital to the fullest.
Therefore, the industry that is now decentralized will not have a great impact on the future, on the contrary, with the opening of the industry, it will not only mobilize the funds of the elite, but also alleviate the economic burden caused by the annexation of the princes. At the same time, with the change and development of the times, commercial competition and mergers will eventually eliminate the decline of the majority of the aristocracy, even if they enjoy tax privileges, the aristocracy does not want to forge ahead, and the industry they guard will soon become obsolete.
The Yongxing City that Jiang Yu saw was only at the level of the end of the nineteenth century, and he couldn't imagine the future industry at the end of the twenty-first century, so as long as he survived thirty years and fifty years and continued to follow his policy, the harm of the nobility could finally be basically controlled and solved. At the same time, supplemented by political system and legal constraints, the harm of the aristocracy will eventually be slowly eliminated.
