Zheng Hongda reported his industry, and there was a buzz in the lobby again. Running in a straight line for two hundred miles, even Lu Peng was surprised. There is a gap between the Li of the Han Dynasty and the current Li, about a hundred meters apart, but even so, it is a full 8,000 square kilometers, which is equal to the size of a medium city in later generations: "It's amazing, it's absolutely amazing, I can't see it, the old brother can also wait for the size of a baron's fief at the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty." It's just that I don't know if you have paid enough rent to Youzhou every year, you have to tell the truth, I, the landlord, can watch you here, you also understand me, the family has a big business and a lot of expenses, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain. β
Zheng Hongda laughed: "The princes of one side don't dare, they are all grass people under the rule of the lord, there are cattle and sheep, life is rich, and the land rent is absolutely not paid. β
Lu Peng laughed with satisfaction, and then stood up and saluted the patriarch of the Bohai Gao family: "Old man, hurry up and come and sit." You're respectable here, don't get involved with these bastards. β
The patriarch of the Gao family came to Lu Peng's side with a smile, and after the two sides met again, the patriarch of the Gao family sat down at Lu Peng's side.
Lu Peng asked with concern: "The whole family moved from Shandong, and they are still used to it here, how is it developing?" β
The patriarch of the Gao family was satisfied and replied without evasion: "Now I have a land of 300 miles in length and width, with a population of more than 10,000, and the governance concept that our family has passed down from generation to generation has been practiced here, and the effect is quite good. Then he sincerely bowed his hand to Lu Peng: "This is thanks to the patiently teaching of the lord at the beginning, which allowed us to open our eyes and achieve today's achievements." Then he explained with a smile: "Of course, we will not make the slightest difference in the money and grain handed over to the Youzhou Household Department every year." He put away his smile and said with a solemn face: "We still understand the rules, and we will never dare to break the rules of the lord." β
That's the core.
Lu Peng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and began to tell the patriarchs of the family full of his feelings: "With the Yellow River as the boundary, there is an absolute difference between the family in the south and the family in the north. The families in the north have a habit of being complacent, and compared with the south, they face the stars and the sea, and their horizons are much broader than ours. This time I went to the south, everyone knows that I signed a maritime alliance with the Wang family in the south, just like the name of this covenant, the southerners value shipping, they will develop the direction, facing the sea of stars, and now their armed merchant ships have arrived in the west of Daqin, and the profit of each round trip is ten times and a hundred times. It is precisely because they have broadened their horizons that they have begun to stop guarding the countryside with those big families in the Central Plains, and no longer seek to buy land in the Central Plains, but spare no effort to buy arms, enhance their strength, and expand overseas markets. β
Looking at his ignorant subordinates, Lu Peng explained with a smile: "Of course, because we are far away from the sea and developing towards the sea, there are no prerequisites, but all of you here have taken another path, that is, to develop to the north, I will tell you now, the land you have in your hands is only a small part of a handful, in the north of our grassland, there is a broader space waiting for everyone to develop, of course, the further north you go, the more bitter cold." At this time, Lu Peng waved his hand fiercely: "But the more bitter and cold the place, the more it can exercise people's mentality and will, so that a decadent and declining family can be re-forged into an elite, the more bitter and cold the land, the more there are huge living conditions and endless wealth, all of which depend on people's will." β
was said by Lu Peng, everyone's eyes are bright, and their practical blood red can better show everyone's mentality. Because Lu Peng said that the hearts of all the people here, that is, the hearts and feelings of all the Han people, that is, the desire for land, no matter how barren this land is in the eyes of outsiders, but it can't stop everyone's desire to own this land, in this world, this wild desire for land ownership, only one nation can compare, that is, the Russians.
Of course, now the so-called Russians are still drinking blood and are in an uncivilized situation, Lu Peng's ambition is to occupy all the possession that can be possessed before the rise of the land that will endanger the Han people in the future, and then strengthen the foundation of the Han nation to the point that all the people in the world look at themselves, which is a feeling of looking up, a kind of trembling and not daring to violate, that is the ultimate goal of his own crossing.
"For example, I know that in the north of this Wuhuan steppe, there is an unimaginably vast land, which I have now officially named Siberia, and in the middle of that steppe, there is a huge lake that you can't imagine, I call it the Baikal Sea, and in that lake, you don't need to cast a net to catch delicious fish, as soon as your boat passes, they will automatically jump into your boat, and I also know that in that land, there is a forest that covers the sky and the sun, and you can't imagine it, in that forest, growing countless rare beasts, countless precious medicinal materials. And under his land, there are all kinds of minerals of gold, silver, copper and iron, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, it is not a myth to get rich overnight in the blink of an eye, so why should we be cramped in that narrow Central Plains area, for a ridge and two land, we have to fight with our neighbors. β
Such a demagogic prospect made all the patriarchs who were unwilling to accept the status quo eager to try, ready to fight for the long-term development of the family in the future.
As a result, Lu Peng, who was triumphant and telling his lofty ideals, stabbed the hornet's nest, and Zheng Hongda directly interrupted Lu Peng's words: "Speaking of this realm, the lord came to the grassland this time, and our families are having many difficulties and ask the lord to decide. β
It's quite unpleasant to be interrupted, but as the head of the family, you have to listen to the following complaints and solve the problem.
It may be that the vastness of the grassland has made the personalities of these family patriarchs who originally paid attention to etiquette in the Central Plains region become unrestrained, and the restraint generated by the awe of Lu Peng at the beginning was also thrown out of the clouds by them at this time, so a group of people stood up together and began to complain like Lu Peng, begging him to make a decision for them.
For a time, the entire lobby became a bazaar.
