After all, not everyone will be attracted by interests, and besides, some people have been tenant farmers for the Xu family for decades, and they are still in their original feelings and are reluctant to betray the old owner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Some people even jumped out and chased after the baby who took the lead in signing a contract to go to Luzon, if it wasn't for Xi Muyun's protection, they might have lost their lives. They tried to rely on extreme methods to show their loyalty to the Xu family, and when the people of the Xu family gained power again, they could still get a little pitiful benefit.

But when they obeyed the orders of the Xu family and rushed over, they saw thousands of bitter masters, the eldest lord who came around the court, went to check the Xu family's land and property, and wanted to return them all to their owners. They were all dumbfounded, what was going on in the imperial court, where did the little people figure it out, but they knew a little, it seemed that the Xu family was going to be unlucky, and the land and property were all taken back, so wouldn't they have no land to plant?

What to do? And the imperial court is desperate?

Fool talent, hurry up and sign a contract to go to sea to plant Danbai Gui!

In case the good thing is gone, I will not regret dying in this life.

The people scattered in a hurry, scrambling to sign the contract, and everyone had a herd heart, for fear that they would not be able to grab it when it was too late.

Dare Qing's loyalty to the Xu family is nothing more, which perfectly interprets what it means to be scattered.

After such a fuss, only the Xu Kun brothers, as well as the family, and a small number of evil slaves, add up to less than 1,000 people, which is dwarfed by Wu Shilai's people.

Xu Kun was about to explode, he grabbed a servant, slapped him roundly, opened his bow left and right, and hit more than two dozen of them.

"What's the matter, why are there no people!"

This guy covered his swollen cheeks, as if he had eaten bitter melon.

"I don't know if it's a little one!"

"What do you know!" Xu Kun flew up, kicked him out, and scolded angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze, go call someone!" ”

The evil slave got up from the ground, covered his little belly, and was about to leave, but Wu Shilai took the servant and took him down directly. A few ordinary people ran over, pointed at the nose of the evil slave, and shouted that it was him, who led people to their village and ran amok, and took five or six girls away.

"Second son Xu, this official thinks that you are just stealing and occupying the acres. As a result, there are more and more cases, you still rob men and women, force the children of good families, make you slaves, and even seek money and kill people, kill innocents, all kinds of evil deeds, heaven does not tolerate it! Wu Shilai angrily reprimanded: "You go back to the house immediately, think about it behind closed doors, this official will investigate in detail, if it is the people below who are doing mischief, you are just not strictly restrained, otherwise, the prince will be guilty of the same crime as the common people!" ”

You two rabbit cubs, how many times have you scolded Lao Tzu, don't think that if you have a father who is the first assistant, I won't dare to touch you!

Wu Shilai secretly smashed the knife in his heart, and traitors are often more terrible than opponents. For example, Wu Shilai is far more than Tang Yi wants the Xu family to be finished, only if Xu Jie's reputation is ruined and the catastrophe will not be recovered, he can save his life and future, and even be able to rise to prominence, if Lao Xu turns over, I am afraid that even death will become a luxury!

"Come on, drive them back to the Xu Mansion and take care of them!" Wu Shilai yelled.

"You dare!" Xu Ying was angry and scolded: "You lard-blinded brute, my father promoted you in vain, you dare to bite the master, you can't die well, the sky thunders, and there is no place to bury you!" ”

He pulled his throat and howled hysterically.

Wu Shilai doesn't care about him at all, just with the two of you and hundreds of evil slave thugs, what kind of storm can you set off. The soldiers swarmed up, the black fire guns were facing them, Xu Ying clenched his fists, wanted to fight hard, jumped a few times, and didn't have the courage in the end.

I could only admit defeat and was driven back to my home and locked up......

Cabinet, duty room.

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

Gao Gong's hearty laughter kept echoing, laughing so much that he covered his stomach and almost fell under the chair, which was not a very happy thing, not a dignified scholar.

After laughing for a long time, Gao Gong finally sat up straight, took it and played the report, and looked at it again and again, the corners of his mouth getting higher and higher.

couldn't help but sigh: "This Tang Xingzhi, he really has an idea!" ”

He stood up, went to the door, and looked at the innermost room, I am afraid that Lao Xu is pulling his hair at this time!

Thinking of Xu Jie's deflatedness, he couldn't help but feel proud.

"Prepare the wine and food, the old man wants to have a drink."

A pot of soju, four side dishes, Gao Gong called Guo Pu over again, and the two of them sat opposite each other and talked about the wine. After a few glasses of wine, Guo Pu smiled very happily, "Su Qing, Tang Xingzhi's hand, I'm afraid it's three points stronger than last time." ”

"That's nature, isn't Lao Xu indifferent and ambitious, quiet and far-reaching, hundreds of thousands of acres of fields, no one cultivates them, I think he can be indifferent?" The corners of Gao Gong's mouth rose, and his beard trembled, obviously he couldn't come up with such a bad idea, but it didn't prevent him from enjoying the show, and he had endless fun!

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

Go to Luzon to grow tobacco, there is a tenfold and hundredfold profit, who doesn't want to go?

No matter how domineering the Xu family is, can it still stop others from getting rich, is there still this truth in the world? It doesn't matter if it's put in normal times, but Tang Yi stared, if they came nonsense again, didn't they look for death by themselves?

I could only watch as the tenants under my command ran away, and my stomach hurt with anger.

Someone is going to ask, there are so many people in the southeast, the Xu family's field will not be empty, don't say it, there is no one to rent.

No one is a fool, if it is really as claimed, you can get a hundred acres of land if you go to Luzon, whether you don't grow tobacco, rice, mulberry trees, how can it be enough for the family to eat a full stomach.

Renting the Xu family's land, renting seventy or eighty percent of the land, and enduring the extortion of those evil slaves, his wife and daughter were all robbed and ruined by them.

If it's a man, he won't tolerate it.

In the past, there was no way but to hang a tree, but now there is one more choice, who is going to be stupid!

Of course, there are still many people who are reluctant to go to sea and take risks, and still want to stay and farm honestly, but now they will not rent the Xu family's field.

People like to chase the rise and kill the fall, everyone used to grab the land, can rent a few acres of land, no matter how big the cost is, but seeing that the Xu family is unlucky, no one rents the field, the big guys are looking forward to them can reduce the rent of the field a little, spit out a little meat from the mouth, otherwise busy for a year, all the harvest to the Xu family, sweat more than the grain collected, the result is to eat bran vegetables, starvation, who can stand it!

People's hearts are like water, as one of the largest landlords in the southeast, the Xu family of Huating actually guards thousands of hectares of fertile land, and no one cultivates it, I have to say, it is really super ironic.

Not only that, the Xu family also faced a two-sided pursuit, Wu Shilai stepped up the inventory of the acres, returned the fields that were not the Xu family to their owners, and the fields that were once attached to the Xu family were also investigated.

For those who are attached to the dedication, Wu Shilai is not polite, and also acts according to the rules, the land is cleverly grabbed, and all of them are returned, which are their own, and all the fields that have escaped over the years are all paid up, almost, and the punishment is doubled immediately, without a word.

In less than half a month, Wu Shilai recovered more than 70,000 taels of silver.

It doesn't seem like much, but when you think about it, it's terrifying. A Xu family, less than half of the inventory, has produced so much silver, how many Xu families are in the world, and how much tax is owed to the imperial court? The reason why the Ming Dynasty has always been in financial distress and cannot make ends meet is here.

Too many interests have been exploited layer by layer and fallen into the hands of the imperial court, which is just a pitiful amount of silver.

Gao Gong has always advocated clearing the acres of land, finding out the hidden land, and solving the financial crisis of the imperial court, of course, he can only think about it, but Tang Yi just did it, and he still took the Xu family.

The means used by Tang Yi are really worthy of study and scrutiny, and the reform will be implemented in the future to ensure that they can be used.

Gao Gong and Guo Pu, two scholars, put down their wine glasses, gathered together, and studied them carefully. Looking at it, both of them showed a thoughtful model.

"Su Qing, Lord Tang's methods seem to imply reason, but I can't figure it out."

Gao Gong frowned, turned around, took the "Wealth of Nations", and turned to the chapter of "Land Rent", and they read the book while pondering.

Gradually, as if they had an understanding, Gao Gong and Guo Pu both showed expressions of sudden realization, stretched out their four thumbs, and praised together: Wonderful!

The price of land rent remains high, in a word, the supply exceeds the demand. However, after taking Luzon, with the addition of Dongfan Island, tens of millions of acres of potential fertile land were suddenly added, and the contradiction between supply and demand was suddenly alleviated.

At the same time, the dynamics of landlords and tenant farmers changed.

Tang Yi and the Xu family's fighting method is actually more about using economic means, such as using the huge profits from tobacco planting, to win over the tenants of the Xu family, and the next step is to force the Xu family to reduce the land rent.

Of course, the Xu family can hold on, it depends on which of us can consume whom.

Hundreds of thousands of acres of land, no one can cultivate, but they still have to raise a large number of subordinate slaves, even if the Xu family has gold and silver, can they fight against the traffic line and Nanyang Company?

Obviously, there are no two of them.

Tang Yi told Gao Gong all his ideas, as long as the Xu family agreed to reduce the land rent, he would not continue to pursue, but would instead ask the entire southeast to reduce the land rent to a reasonable range to ensure the livelihood of the people.

The decline in land income will force large households to invest in industry and commerce, and after the reduction of land rent, the purchasing power of the people will increase, which will promote the prosperity of industry and commerce. With the development of industry and commerce, it has attracted more laborers to the city, alleviated the contradiction between man and land, and further lowered land rent.

The two complement each other and cooperate perfectly, relying on water grinding efforts and within a period of 10 years to adjust the deformed development of the economy, eliminate those ugly phenomena, and truly benefit the whole people.

After seeing Tang Yi's strategy and layout, the two pavilion elders praised in unison.

"Since ancient times, the loyal and upright minister is none other than Hai Rui, before he entered Beijing, he also ran to the small station and scolded Xingzhi." Gao Gong sighed: "If you let him know how to plan and think carefully, I'm afraid that he will be embarrassed!" ”

Guo Pu smiled and exclaimed, "Su Qing, haven't you ever praised someone like this?" You've never been willing to be subservient! ”

Gao Gong raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said: "Brother, what I said is wrong, I am convinced by Gao Gong's real ability, others do not let me obey the ability, only do it, the old man is really convinced." As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Tang Xuesanshu, extremely pious! (To be continued.) )
