Chapter 163: Prelude to the Storm
People are under the eaves, how can there be a reason not to bow their heads, the deputy general glanced at Duan Qirui, who was talking to him with a smile, and looked at the cold faces of the thousands of Lushun troops around. There is still a reason not to say yes.
"Adults are at will, adults are at will, and the little ones have long heard about the majesty of Liu Dashuai of the Lushun Army, and they are thinking about defecting." The lieutenant made a flattering face.
Patting the sycophants, Duan Qirui nodded in disgust.
Since he got the consent, Duan Qirui was not polite, leaving 4,000 people to watch these Qing troops, and then asked 3,000 people to transfer all the materials and start to go in the direction of Liaoyang, and those horses, Duan Qirui also got Liu Jun's inheritance, but not a single horse was left.
As soon as he returned to Liaoyang, Duan Qirui ran to the barracks with a roar, and checked, good guy, Duan Qirui, who was almost frightened, fainted on the spot, silver alone, as high as three million taels, and grain and grass, these grains and grass, enough for the entire Liaodong army and civilians to eat for seven or eight months.
"Hurry up, call back to the big handsome, and return from hunting. I get a big deal. Duan Qirui shouted excitedly.
In the backyard of the Lushun Headquarters, Liu Jun was looking at his wife Wu Xiaoyan with a sincere face at this time.
Yesterday, Liu Jun told Wu Xiaoyan his thoughts, hoping that he could join him in persuading his father-in-law to hand over all the land deeds.
Liu Junzhi said that if you want other people to hand over the title deed, then you must first start from yourself, and Liaodong, the most land, it is estimated that his wife's family is a big head, if he doesn't start from his own home, how can he give an order for the landlord to hand over the land, and then distribute it to the people.
Wu Xiaoyan glanced at Liu Jun, who was looking at her, she thought for a while, handed the child to Xiang'er, didn't say anything, but walked back to the room directly, and after a while, she put on a white silk with a lot of butterfly cloaks and walked in front of Liu Jun.
Liu Jun didn't know what Wu Xiaoyan meant, after all, he did a bit too much about this matter.
Wu Xiaoyan walked a few steps and looked at Liu Jun, who was demented: "Why are you standing, don't you leave?" ”
"Where to go?" Liu Jun asked blankly.
You Maolian next to her smiled slightly: "Xianggong, my sister has promised you, accompany you to persuade ......"
Oh, Liu Jun suddenly realized, showed a happy smile, followed Wu Xiaoyan, and then went to Wu's mansion.
In fact, Wu Xiaoyan's old man has already known Liu Jun's thoughts from Zhong Lin's mouth, and in the past few days, he has also been thinking about this question, what should he do, if it turned out, with his character of being a fan of money, he would not agree, but now, his daughter is already the wife of the marshal of Liaodong, a high-ranking noble, and now his daughter has given birth to a boy for Liu Jun, and that Zhang is big, that is, the young marshal. After thinking about it for a long time, he figured it out that he would give the land of Liaodong to Liu Jun, and he would not be short of this land.
He expected Liu Jun to come back, so he had already put all the title deeds in a red box with a wooden box. Wait for Liu Jun.
As soon as Liu Jun entered the door, he greeted his father-in-law, and before he could say the purpose of coming, the old man walked to the study, took the box, handed it to Liu Jun and said: "Take it, here are all the land deeds of my Wu family in Liaodong, what are you doing with it, I don't know, but I know that you are for everyone." For everyone's good. ”
Liu Jun didn't expect his father-in-law to be kind to him, he suddenly shed tears and said, "Old man, thank you for your support, thank you." ”
The old man smiled: "Thank you, family, don't leave today, just have lunch here, I have asked the family to prepare lunch." ”
En, Liu Jun nodded, and while agreeing, he handed the box to Zhong Lin on the side.
During lunch, there was no state affair, there was just the old man's love for the juniors, and the old man kept giving delicious dishes to Liu Jun and Wu Xiaoyan, looking at the two happily.
After the meal, after a few people chatted, Liu Jun said goodbye to his father-in-law, and then got up and returned to the Lushun headquarters.
As soon as he returned to Lushun, Liu Jun put the box on the table.
On the table, there are now a lot of wooden boxes, and even paper, which are the title deeds of Lushun officials.
A day earlier, Liu Jun had convened an emergency meeting in the afternoon. That was the meeting about the re-division of the land, the repossession of all the private land of the landlords, merchants, and officials, and then the decentralization of it to the households.
At the meeting, Liu Jun briefly explained the current economic blockade of Liaodong by the imperial court. Then again the importance of decentralization was spoken.
In Liu Jun's view, as long as the land is distributed to the people, then the people will support themselves and themselves, so that Liaodong can unite as one and get through this difficulty together. After all, the current Liaodong, in the eyes of the imperial court, is rebellion.
Liu Jun's move is indeed very clever, he not only links land reform with the comfort of Liaodong, but also links it with the future of these people.
The crowd unanimously upheld the meeting and handed over the title deeds.
For this, Liu Jun knew that some of these people were unwilling to take it out, but Liu Jun couldn't care about it so much now. If you agree, you have to take it, and if you don't agree, you have to take it.
The meeting lasted until the middle of last night. At the meeting, Liu Jun and the others decided to dismiss the meeting after discussing the reform plan.
In this land reform, it is not that landlords, merchants, and officials will not have land if they hand over their land, but that every household will have it, and it will be calculated according to the number of people who have it first. More gives, less gives.
Early this morning, these people sent their own land deeds, which made Liu Jun very satisfied. After the title deed of the Degao officials, Liu Jun's next target was merchants and landlords. The reason why he didn't do it was because his father-in-law also had land in his hands, and if he wanted Bill to be convinced, he had to start with his own people first, which is why Liu Jun discussed it with Wu Xiaoyan after he went back last night.
Now, the title deed of the father-in-law is already in his own hands, so if he does it himself, no one will scold him for favoritism.
Gently patting these boxes, Liu Jun slightly glanced at Zhong Lin, who was also smiling: "Go, tell Wu Datong and Wu Hao." Ann plans to act. ”
Wu Datong was the first person to support Liu Jun, when Liu Jun proposed this resolution, he didn't think about it, he immediately went back, brought his title deed, and handed it over to Liu Jun at that time, Liu Jun appreciated this very much.
Liu Jun's plan is very simple, that is, all merchants, landlords, and children of the Eight Banners in Liaodong must hand over all the land deeds to the government within five days, and those who do not pay them after five days will bear the consequences.
No one knows what the consequences will be, but from Liu Jun's eyes at that time, the Lushun officials knew that those who were not obedient would definitely not end well. Perhaps, it will be a Liaoyang.
Liu Jun knew that this time, relying on the government and those officials alone, someone would definitely jump out, and he was also prepared, that is, to click on the army to escort him.
Be honest, everyone, hello and I'm good, if you're not honest, then move the guy, in a word, give it, give it, don't give it, you have to give, in Liu Jun's words, Lao Tzu's territory, Lao Tzu has the final say.
Zhong Lin nodded when he heard Liu Jun say that the An plan was going on, and then ran out to report the situation to Wu Datong of the county government.
Beijing, Chuxiu Palace, Cixi admired Yi very much this time, not only let him take charge of the prime minister's yamen again, but also often convened Yi? Inquire about state affairs.
These days, he heard the report of the Liaodong spies, Liu Jun is busy, which made the aggrieved anger in her heart fade a lot, in her opinion, although she was not able to attack Lushun, but the summoning gave Liu Jun a huge dismount, let him know that the court is not easy to mess with.
After breakfast, Cixi was accompanied by Li Lianying, and took advantage of the clear sky to take a walk in the garden together, accompanied by the maids and palace maids.
Tired of walking, Cixi sat down on a gazebo and began to close her eyes. The spirit is leisurely and contented, and Li Lianying is indeed standing on the side from afar and serving carefully.
A little eunuch ran over in a panic and handed Li Lianying a notebook.
Signaling the eunuch to go down, Li Lianying opened it and only looked at two lines, and then screamed.
This call immediately woke up Cixi, who opened her eyes dissatisfiedly and looked at Li Lianying: "What's wrong?" ”
"Report to the old ...... Galeries Lafayette, tax silver and grain and grass transported from the Northeast. By...... was robbed by Liu Jun. ”
