Chapter 833: The Wisher Takes the Bait
"Of course it won't be an independent army, because it's not an army at all, it's just a name, a corps is headed by a retired lieutenant with a few junior officers such as chiefs, and the rest are Turkic people, just like our current farm." Facing Ma Zhou, whose face was full of doubts, Li Chengqian said.
"However, the Corps ......" Ma Zhou was still haunted by the 'Agricultural Reclamation Corps' mentioned by Li Chengqian.
"It's just a corps, if I don't have a name that makes people think about it, how can those families take the bait?" Li Chengqian took a sip of the freshly brewed tea soup and smiled evilly.
"Is this what the back of the corps means?" Ma Zhou asked with a wry smile.
Lao Li sent this Ma Zhou, who originally belonged to Li Chengqian's lineage, to ask Li Chengqian about the 'Agricultural Reclamation Corps', but the answer he got turned out to be a bait set for the five surnames and Qiwang.
"Lao Ma, you were promoted by me at the beginning, and I won't hide some things from you, how much do you think a family that has no military power in their hands is willing to pay for a corps?" The ridicule was almost over, and Li Chengqian's face became serious.
"The minister doesn't know, but if the minister is the head of the family, even if he pays a big price, he has to get a place in the corps, after all, he doesn't panic when he has soldiers in his hands." Ma Zhou thought seriously for a long time, and finally said: "But what if the family knows that they have been fooled in the future?" What will His Highness do about it? ”
"What to deal with? I didn't do anything, I just suggested a few 'farming regiments', and I didn't ask them to grab the quota, everything was just their own opinion. Li Chengqian spread his hands and said.
Yes, this is the fundamental purpose of his efforts to make a mess of chicken feathers and duck blood in the court-to release bait!
There are 30,000 people in the 'Agricultural Reclamation Corps', and once it is formed, there are more than ten, and even Li Er feels threatened, and it is naturally difficult for others to think that the 'Agricultural Reclamation Corps' is just a name, and there is no actual military rationing at all.
In addition to hoes, plough sticks, ploughing oxen, and seeds, the only people who can be associated with the military in the 'Reclamation Corps' are the farm managers who have retired from the army. Even the farm manager was retired from the Fangs or the Xuanjia Army, and would not listen to any military-related arrangements of the family at all.
Therefore, the root of the 'Reclamation Corps' is a scam, a scam that lures the family into taking the bait and making them offer countless benefits in exchange for a 'thing' that has no practical effect on them at all.
After Li Er heard Ma Zhou's return afterwards, he was also a little dumbfounded, this is a special act of deceiving the people of the world in one fell swoop, and it is a shame that Li Chengqian, this kid dares to start, if the five surnames and Qiwang and Shandong Shi clan react in the future, I don't know if they will want to 'eat him alive'.
However, Li Er likes this idea very much, and it is very rare to be able to pit all the families in one fell swoop, even if Li Chengqian plans to change his mind now, the old man will not agree at all.
Three days later, the newly published Datang Xun Bao carried a headline on the front page of the newspaper entitled "Several Matters Concerning the Establishment of the 'Agricultural Reclamation Corps' in Northern Xinjiang," which expounded the arguments and arguments of the vast area north of the Yellow River that was suitable for animal husbandry, animal husbandry, and agricultural development.
Of course, the key point is that the court decided to set up 12 militarized management of the 'Agricultural Reclamation Corps', and the 'Agricultural Reclamation Corps' will be responsible for the construction of 12 modern large-scale farms, and use this as the 'leader' to drive the original Turkic tribes to carry out the large-scale development of the northern grasslands and build a new northern Xinjiang in the new era!
Stripped away some useless braggaking words, removed some data and examples, and finally removed some official languages, everyone saw the only four words in this newspaper: 'Reclamation Corps'!
The major families are crazy, and every family is constantly discussing the matter of the 'Reclamation Corps'.
The truth is only within the distance that a spear can pierce, and the main reason why every dynasty and generation of the great families have to be attached to the royal family is because they have no military power in their hands.
If there are soldiers in hand, the family can rely on its far-reaching influence to become a prince and rule the world.
Why did Li Er make such a stupid move? What is the cost? None of this matters, as long as you can hold the military power, no matter how much it costs, it won't take long for it to be restored again, as a family, you have the confidence to make such a promise, as long as you can get the military power.
The old man has been very happy lately, and the heads of the family have been coming to him under various pretenses, just to get a place in the 'Reclamation Corps' from him.
However, in order to maintain the mystery of the 'Reclamation Corps', Li Er did not make a commitment to any of the families, he only made an agreement with these families - to discuss it together in the Ganlu Hall after five days.
It is easy to find flaws in the conversation of one by one, and there will be fewer people who can be caught when the news is leaked, so Lao Li will not be stupid to agree to the family's request before the plan starts.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you see, my uncle asked me to come over and inquire, and the minister is not good not to come." Cui Ran's face was full of entanglement, and he sat in Li Chengqian's study and carefully tested Li Chengqian's tone.
"It's okay, we're old acquaintances after all." Li Chengqian dealt with Cui Ran without a match, and deliberately pretended to be businesslike: "But private relations are private relations, official affairs are official affairs, and the father and emperor have not opened their mouths, and there are not many things in this palace." ”
"Yes, yes, the minister understands this, but can Your Highness reveal a little bit about what this farm needs to do?" Cui Ran nodded at Li Chengqian's words to show his understanding, and at the same time asked the questions given by the head of the family. He also knew that he had no reason to ask Li Chengqian to make any promises, so the purpose of coming here was to inquire about the news.
"What do you need to do...... Li Chengqian stretched out his voice and said: "In general, there are a few points, first, the farm has to pay a certain amount of grain to the court every year, of course, this includes some meat and some grain, the specific amount This needs to be discussed together, this palace is not familiar with the key, so it is not easy to speak." ”
"This is the way it should be, it should be done." Cui Ran nodded again and again. He also knew that the 'Reclamation Corps' was mainly for the farm, so if he wanted to obtain the management rights of the 'Corps', he had to take over the farm.
"In addition, the farm should take in a certain number of Turks, which is a hard indicator, after all, our other purpose is to educate the people, those Turks are too barbaric, we must let them understand the reason, let them realize that it was a mistake to invade the Tang Dynasty in the first place!" In an official tone, Li Chengqian opened the conversation box and slapped Cui Ran's head in cold sweat.
