Chapter 621: Enwei and Shi as a Field Divide (4)
Bai Fan's call caused a brief silence in the field, and there was silence for a while.
Everyone never thought that when they were still cheering for the Tang Dynasty to have immortal food with the people before, now the Marquis of Lantian actually told everyone that the nobles would have an existential crisis with the immortal food.
This is different from what is recorded in the history books, isn't it only when the people are in war that the people are struggling to make a living? This Tang Dynasty has just emerged, why is there such a disaster?
At that moment, an old but determined voice came, shattering the brief silence.
"I, the Li clan of Zhao County, agree with the proposal of the Marquis of Lantian!"
What the???
Everyone looked at Li Derao, the patriarch of the Li clan of Zhao County, in surprise, this white-haired old man, who was in charge of the most powerful family in the world, actually nodded and agreed?
Including Bai Fan was also puzzled, in his opinion, the Zheng family and the Wang family could use coercion or inducement to make them submit, but the remaining two clans of the Li clan of Zhaojun and Boling Cui Bai Fan had prepared a lot of back-hand moves, but he didn't expect that a backhand was useless, so he agreed?
For a while, Bai Fan had an illusion, this old man couldn't have been angry with His Majesty in advance, or had he been an undercover agent of the imperial court all along?
"Brother Derao, what are you ......?" asked Cui Minshou of the Boling Cui clan.
"Elder Li, the Li family of Zhaojun is the head of the noble family, how can he give in to this child?"
Oh, yes......
Everyone was in turmoil again because of Li Derao's attitude.
Bang!
Li Derao put the crutches in his hand on the ground, and the audience instantly quieted down, looking at this old man who was not angry and arrogant, many people were in awe, different from the fear of Bai Fan, some people dared to look down on Bai Fan, but no one dared to look down on this.
"Confused!
Lantian Hou has already stated the benefits and disadvantages, and even the old man, who is about to die, understands it, can't you let go of the obsession in your heart?
What the Marquis of Lantian said, for the sake of the development of the aristocracy, is just to ask us to give up the marginal side tribesmen.
What do those people have to worry about us? In the past, we were sheltered only because they wanted to live, and they were just trying to escape the grain tax in the name of nobility, but now that there is no threat of starvation, what is wrong with them facing the reality in peace?
Bo Ming is right, the family is not in line with the people, how many gentlemen and incompetent scum are bullying the villagers and the people in the name of the nobility? These people, far away from the clan lineage, good and bad, keep not only the prosperity of the family, but also ruin the reputation of the nobles, rather than so, it is better to kick them out as soon as possible, and we nobles in the province are poked in the backbone by the people and said that they are rich and unkind and harm the people.
In the past, when the nobles were suffering, the nobles showed favor to the people in exchange for the kindness and tolerance of the people, and in the future, this kindness became weaker and weaker, if the nobles did not know how to restrain themselves, as the Marquis of Lantian said, wait for the people to stand up and knock it to the ground.
Old man, I don't care if you let it go or not, in short, I, the Li family of Zhaojun, am willing to support the imperial court. ”
Li Derao's words aroused the reflection of the audience, Bai Fan wanted to bow and worship, and bowed solemnly to Li Derao, "Thank you Li Lao for your understanding, Li Lao's words are exactly what is at stake, Fan has already said that I am also a member of the aristocracy, the reason why I do all this is not to target anyone, but to solve the problem, to avoid chaos in the Tang Dynasty, for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, we must make some sacrifices."
Today's aristocrats cut their flesh to survive, and if they believe that when the prosperity of the coming day comes, you will definitely feel fortunate because of today's actions, because if you old nobles can't follow the pace of the Tang Dynasty to bring forth the new, they will only be more and more unable to keep up, and they will be eliminated one day. ”
Everyone was still speechless after listening to Bai Fan's explanation, most of them didn't expect that it would be like this today.
And Zheng Wenyong of the Zheng family in Xingyang sighed and took the initiative to speak: "Okay, if a gentleman sees good, he will move, and if he sees it, he will change!" What Li Lao and Jian Zhi said is open-minded, impartial, and right to the point, my Xingyang Zheng family has no reason to insist on it, and if it persists, it will be evil, and my Zheng family also supports the imperial court. ”
Zheng Wenyong is also helpless, no matter whether this nephew and son-in-law have cheated himself or not, but now the problem is in front of him, the person who knows the times is Junjie, and the Zheng family asks for it, so he naturally needs to make a decision immediately.
"I, the Taiyuan Wang family, are also willing to support the imperial court."
……
In this way, everyone is not good to hesitate anymore, four of the five surnames and seven families remain, and now the three families have agreed, Boling Cui's family looked at it, forget it, his own family can't afford to pick up the beam, Qinghe Cui's experience, we don't want to go mining, and nodded and agreed, and soon basically everyone agreed, even if a few were unwilling, they didn't say anything against it.
"Thank you for your righteous understanding, with your support, the imperial decree can be implemented smoothly, I believe that we work together, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is not far away......"
Li Derao interrupted Bai Fan's words at this time: "Slow! Lantian Hou, don't you fool me into waiting for old age and forgetfulness?
For the sake of immortal food and national development, you said that we agreed to pay the grain tax, and we also agreed to reduce the power when you said it, and we, as representatives of the old nobles, gave in like this, and you and the court did not have anything to say? ”
Forehead......
Only then did everyone understand that Jiang was still old and spicy, no wonder this one endured and endured, it turned out that he was waiting here, and it was really clever, isn't this trying to catch and indulge? We can make concessions, but if Lantian Hou can't come up with reciprocal conditions and benefits now, then the previous concessions may not be able to be talked about.
Even Bai Fan had to admire the shrewdness and wisdom of this old man, and secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, but he could only smile and start to give benefits, originally Bai Fan also wanted to take the opportunity to reverse the matter of Yicheng slave, but now it seems that he can only slowly figure it out, these people are not on the set, so simple to agree, it is not easy to persecute too much.
"Hahahaha, how come? The kid is about to talk about the support given to you by the imperial court, you are old and wise, and even if you are a junior, you will never dare to fool you.
Please come with me. ”
Everyone followed Bai Fan in confusion and came to the 10,000 acres of fertile land outside Chang'an County, looking at the fields that had been leveled in the vicinity, as well as the two plants of unknown varieties in the distance, everyone couldn't help but guess, is it related to this?
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first batch of immortal grain that has been harvested is called potatoes, a total of 3,000 mu, with an average yield of 5,000 catties per mu, which has been put into storage, and we have seen it just now.
And the second and third batches are called corn and sweet potatoes, and the yield is also very high, especially corn, which is not only comparable to potatoes and sweet potatoes that carry hunger relief food, the yield of corn per mu is about 1,000 catties, which is the best staple food, which can be juxtaposed with wheat and rice, and this thing yields 1,000 catties per mu, so it is the most rare thing in the fairy food. ”
"Hehe, we can imagine the benefits of immortal food, but what does this have to do with our old nobles? If the fairy food is popularized, we will naturally be able to get it. ”
Bai Fan said with a smile: "Old Li, after this year's breeding, there are still not many immortal grains like corn, how about giving priority to breeding in the coming year?" Potatoes and sweet potatoes will be supplied to the common people, after all, you have sacrificed a lot to help, and getting the staple food fairy food can be regarded as the preferential treatment of the nobles by the imperial court, which is a good thing to increase face. ”
"Hehe, you little doll has a lot of eyes, this can be counted as one, but it's not enough, a year's face is just a year, sooner or later this grain will spread throughout the country." Li Derao squinted at Bai Fan and smiled.
