Chapter 165: War or Not?
Looking at Zhong Lin's distant back, Liu Jun suddenly folded his arms and lay on the chair.
In fact, he also knew in his heart that this time, he had indeed done a bit of a mistake, forcibly confiscating the title deed, and devolving the land into the hands of the people according to the population. How could he not know that this would harm some of his vital interests. However, Liu Jun also knew a huge problem, that is, it was a matter of time before he went to war with the imperial court.
From the beginning of the Shangzhang threat to the imperial court to release Li Hongzhang, to the final beating of Qincha and robbery of tax silver. The reason why the imperial court did not move itself now is because of the problem of its current strong army, and the imperial court will tolerate itself so much, otherwise, with Cixi's temper, I am afraid that Lushun has already been taken by Cixi, and his head has already fallen in Beijing.
Since there is a war, what is needed is soldiers, Liu Jun does not believe that once the war starts, how many merchants and landlords will stand up to resist the army of the imperial court, and only the people who really come out to resist, but there is no reason for the people to defend Liaodong and fight by themselves.
If you want the people to love to bring themselves and at the same time are obligated to come out and pick up swords and guns to protect Liaodong, that is a way, so that the people can really get benefits, and the biggest benefit is the land.
As long as the people get the land, he won't believe it if he is doing a few propaganda when the time comes, and he won't believe Liu if the people don't fight with the court.
As early as after Japan's surrender, he thought about this matter, but the imperial court came to confer it, and the construction of roads delayed this matter.
Liaoyang's division of land is not without reason, but an experiment by Liu Jun, this experiment is very successful, and now the people of Liaoyang, their love and support for Liu Jun, have risen by several grades.
Everything in Liaoyang makes Liu Jun think that this thing is worth doing.
Zhong Lin quickly finished conveying the order and walked in. Mention Liu Jun's dry tea bowl filled with water. Zhong Lin asked in a low voice: "Head, it has been issued, and now that the land deeds have been collected, do you see when the land will be divided." ”
Time is not waiting, Liu Jun opened his eyes, looked at Zhong Lin for a moment, and then stood up: "Let Wu Datong issue a notice on the right to Liaodong, so the residents of Liaodong will all go to the local government offices and receive the corresponding land according to the number of people. ”
"Understood." Zhong Lin nodded, showed a hint of a smile, and walked out.
Lushun County Ya. Wu Datong sat at the gate of the county government and looked at the people standing in two rows waiting to receive the land with a smile on his face.
"Wang Dafu." A Lushun officer pronounced the name. I saw a man in his thirties wearing patched clothes. Ran to the front.
"There are five people in your family, so the land you get is in Shijiagou, and when the time comes, someone will lead you to identify.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, thank you." Wang Dafu. I kept prostrating my head with tears in my eyes for a long time before I got up from the ground. Excitedly took the title deed. Carefully put it in his pocket like kicking a baby, and then stepped aside and watched the other families acquire the land.
"Zhao Shun......" decentralization of land continues.
"Old Wu, how many people still haven't acquired land." Liu Jun didn't know when he came to the gate of the compound, and after looking at Wu Datong who was standing on the side, he walked over and asked.
"Dashuai, half of the people have already received it, and it is estimated that it will all be distributed tomorrow." Wu Datong said happily.
"That's good, then it's good that after the land is distributed, next year a part of the grain will be allocated from the grain bank for them to grow food, so that they can harvest their own grain next year."
"The handsome man thinks thoughtfully, and his subordinates admire the handsome." Wu Datong arched his hand and said.
"Cut." Liu Jun pointed at Wu Datong, he didn't expect that an old stubborn like Wu Datong would pat himself on the back, but this sycophant sounds really comfortable.
Coughing softly a few times, Liu Jun smiled: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
An old man who had just received the land suddenly saw Liu Jun who was walking down the steps, and he suddenly shouted: "Folks, the handsome man is here, the handsome man is here." Let's kneel down with Dashuai, he is our reborn parent. ”
As soon as he heard that the clothes had been washed and turned white, and the old man with patches on them shouted, the people who were receiving or had not yet received the land suddenly stopped their movements and knelt down in front of Liu Jun.
Liu Jun was blindsided all of a sudden, he didn't expect this matter, today he came to see how the situation is going, but he didn't come here to stink.
However, these people knelt down all of a sudden, which made Liu Jun a little uncomfortable.
took a few steps forward, and Liu Jun first pulled up an old man who was kneeling on the ground, that is, the old man who spoke just now: "Uncle, what are you doing, what are you doing." ”
The old man looked at Liu Jun with tears on his face, and said with tears on his face: "Dashuai, my family has been a farmer for generations, and I never thought that I would have an apprentice one day, but today. The old man said this, and tremblingly took out the title deed that he had just put in his pocket. handed it to Liu Jun: "Dashuai is not giving me land today, but giving us life." ”
Huh, Liu Jun took a deep breath, he also knew this reason, for thousands of years in China, although there were the most peasants, but there were really peasants who were lowered, that was no, all of them were rented landlord land.
Every year, the people work hard to harvest more than half of the grain, the country, and the landlords. If you stay, it's good, you can live for a year, if it's not good, you can't live for a year, so it's estimated that you have to be.
And today, Liu Jun gives the land directly to the people, not through the deprivation of the landlord, only to hand it over to the national treasury, which is a great kindness, a kindness that can save people's lives.
While thinking about it, the old man knelt down again, Liu Jun hurriedly wanted to pull, but the old man said: "Dashuai, this head, if you don't let us knock, I can't close my eyes even if I die." ”
This one? Liu Jun was stunned for a moment, and then Wu Datong next to him took a step forward: "Dashuai, let them knock, otherwise, they will really be uneasy, it is the first time that the subordinates have seen the people support a person so much for so many years." ”
Well, hearing Wu Datong's words, Liu Jun had no choice but to sigh and let these Baixin kowtow.
Seeing that these people were detained, Liu Jun suddenly returned to the steps and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, old and young masters, today, the land has been in your hands, that is, it will be in your hands for the rest of your life, no matter who it is in the future, who dares to ask you to return these lands, just tell Liu Jun, I will behead him." ”
"Long live the handsome, long live the handsome." The people in the audience immediately began to cheer.
Long live can't talk about it, but you can still live at the age of seventy or eighty, seeing the smiling cheers of the people in the audience, Liu Jun thought in his heart. After taking a look at Wu Datong, Liu Jun smiled and said, "Old Wu, I'll leave it to you here." ”
"Don't worry, Dashuai." Wu Datong nodded, and then after sending Liu Jun back to the backyard, he returned to the front hall again. Schedule work.
In the city of Beijing, heavy rain poured, and from time to time thunder and lightning exposed Beijing, which had fallen into darkness from time to time.
It's already the third watch in the middle of the night, but the current Chuxiu Palace is indeed brilliantly lit. The candle is bright. The Chuxiu Palace is like daylight.
Although there was lightning and thunder outside, the current room was indeed as silent as death.
The ministers of military aircraft kneeling in the row below, the pillars of the imperial court, no one dares to kick the atmosphere now. Not a single person spoke.
"Yi? Come? Cixi looked coldly at the ministers kneeling on the ground and asked loudly.
"Back to Lafayette, Prince Gong is on his way now." Li Lianying stepped forward and asked.
"Hey," Cixi sighed, raised her head, and looked out the window. What does she want to hear? What is the idea of going to war or not to going to war.
After hearing him, he cut off the grain and grass and military salaries in Liaodong, and thought that he could sit back and relax, but now, Liu Jun grabbed taxes and silver, and robbed the land of apprentices, and when he mentioned land, Cixi's heart was panicked.
Now outside the palace gate, there are at least hundreds of people, kneeling on the ground and crying every day. They all asked themselves to make their own decisions, send troops to Liaodong, and regain the land, which made Cixi hate to make it difficult and refuse, this time she had to offend a lot of people she didn't want to offend, and if she didn't refuse, it would mean a war.
These people outside the palace gate all came here from Liaodong to complain and accuse Liu Jun of robbing the land.
"Prince Gong has arrived." With a shout, a tall, emaciated figure walked in.
As soon as Cixi saw this figure, she stood up suddenly, she really wanted to know? ideas.
