Chapter 126: Drinking to Quench Your Thirst
Yan Xiang frowned and said, "My lord, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, otherwise the entire Huainan may fall into turmoil because of this." ”
Wang Chong took a deep look at Yan Xiang: "Now the development of Huainan has just started, and the surrounding princes have not yet left the strength to take care of our side, so I would rather all the hidden dangers break out in this period and then solve them at one time, rather than wait for the strong enemy to wait for the future when the development of Huainan is stable, and then there will be chaos, because this will make all the efforts we made in the early stage in vain!" ”
"The lord is so courageous!" Liu Ye's eyes burst out with a ball of essence, "I'd rather endure the pain for a while than have long dreams at night, among the princes in the world who can have such determination, I'm afraid there is only one lord!" ”
Wang Chong was not shocked and said: "Next, I am going to issue a few decrees to test the bottom limit of these families, first of all, about the population tax, in order to reduce the pressure on the people's lives, I plan to cancel the oral endowment, only keep the calculation of the endowment, I Huainan every household must re-register, especially never allow the family to have any lies to conceal, how many people they have in their family, they have to pay me honestly how much tax, once you find that someone is in violation, Ziyang, you know what to do, right?" ”
Liu Ye sneered: "Don't worry, the lord is provincial!" ”
Wang Chong said to Yan Xiang: "Deming (Yan Xiangzi, apocryphal), the household registration workload is huge, and you can help with more ideas!" ”
Originally, Yan Xiang, the chief bookkeeper, should be responsible for this kind of thing, but Wang Chong was worried that Yan Xiang's personality was not tough enough, so he handed it over to Liu Ye, and Yan Xiang assisted on his behalf.
Yan Xiang obviously knew his own problem, so he didn't feel the slightest displeasure, nodded and responded, "No! ”
Wang Chong took a deep breath and said with a cold face: "The following decree is very likely to provoke a great backlash from the family, but for the stability of my Jinfan territory in the future, even if there is great pressure, I must implement it...... That is to ban the armed qualifications of the family, that is, you can keep servants without permission, but you must no longer organize them into armed private soldiers, otherwise once discovered, you will be punished for treason! ”
"Hiss-" As soon as Wang Chong said this, Liu Ye and the four of them all gasped.
Lu Su said with a solemn face: "Lord, they will definitely not agree to this matter!" ”
"Not allowed? Why not? Wang Chong slapped the table a few times, "If you are not ready to rebel, then why do you want to raise private soldiers?" Don't tell me that it's for self-preservation, if they are honest and have my own Jinfan army to protect them, otherwise what can they keep with their little strength? Isn't that redundant!? ”
Wang Chong's words were quite sophistry, and Lu Su didn't know how to refute them for a while, but he knew that once this decree was issued, there would be another bloody storm in Huainan.
Wang Chong said to Liu Ye with a cold gaze: "Ziyang, I am not going to personally go out in this matter, I will lend you Bodao's trapping camp at that time, I want to see how much of a storm these families can set off in my Huainan!" ”
"No!" Liu Ye admires Wang Chong's courage to take risks and seek change, although this road is destined to make Jinfan's progress difficult, but once successful, the benefits are obvious.
"Finally, I will talk about the issue of the soldier's pension, in order to make the Jinfan soldiers have no worries when fighting, I plan to increase the amount of the pension, in terms of rank, when the soldier dies on the battlefield, in addition to the pension, if there are family members who cannot raise their children alone, they can be handed over to the general's government to train adults until they have the ability to support themselves."
When Wang Chong finished talking about all the decisions, everyone discussed the details for nearly half an hour, and after everything was agreed, Liu Ye and the four of them got up to leave.
"Ziyang!" As soon as he got out of the gate of the General's Mansion, Lu Su pulled Liu Ye to the corner with an anxious face, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why didn't you object just now?" ”
Liu Ye smiled: "What are you not against?" ”
"Knowingly ask!" Lu Su glared at Liu Ye fiercely, and said indignantly, "When the lord proposed to ban the family's private soldiers, why didn't you speak out against it?" ”
"Oh, that's what you're talking about." Liu Ye pretended to be abrupt, and then spread his hands and asked, "But why should I object?" ”
"You ......" the honest Lu Su was stomped by Liu Ye angrily, "Don't you know what this will mean?" ”
"Yes, but so what?" Liu Ye said with an indifferent face, "We are courtiers, what the lord tells us to do, we will do it, and what will happen to him later?" ”
"You...... You are irresponsible!! Lu Su pointed at Liu Ye's nose and reprimanded, "Shouldn't we point it out if the lord did something wrong?" ”
"Zijing, do you really think that the lord has done something wrong?" Liu Ye stared at Lu Su and said, "What will be the consequences of doing this, do you think the main guild doesn't know?" Why don't you think about it, will the lord do this, will there be any unavoidable hardship? ”
"Bitter?" Lu Su was stunned.
"Hey......" Liu Ye sighed and said regretfully, "The lord is born at the wrong time, in fact, with the talent of the lord, if he was born a few years earlier, he is afraid that he has already become one of the best princes in the world, but when he debuted in Jinfan, the pattern of the world has been decided, only a chaotic Huainan is desirable, he has fallen too far behind the other princes, so he can't wait to develop, want to make himself stronger, otherwise, how can he compete with the princes of the world in the future?" Zijing, don't you think that the stall that the lord is laying now is a little too big? ”
Lu Su vaguely understood something: "You mean ......?"
Liu Ye nodded and said: "Ah, while accepting the displaced people to implement the tuntian, on the other hand, they are building water conservancy, while building Xuanjia weapons, and on the other hand, they are building large docks, while sending grain to reduce taxes to win the hearts of the people, and on the other hand, they are raising pensions to enhance the cohesion of the army. ”
"So the lord hit the idea on the Huainan family?" Lu Su said with a heavy heart, "The lord deliberately issued several decrees that were difficult for the family to accept, just to provoke their resistance, and then Jinfan could regard them as traitors to the party, and then justifiably send troops to exterminate them and swallow up their family property?" ”
Seeing Liu Ye nodding, Lu Su couldn't help but sigh: "The lord is drinking to quench his thirst!" ”
Liu Ye said: "This can at least solve the urgent needs in the short term first, and as for the future...... As long as Jinfan's military power always remains strong enough, even if the family under his rule is dissatisfied, he can only choose to swallow his anger. ”
Lu Su said worriedly: "But the hidden danger is very big." ”
"Zijing, open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, if we knew that they were hidden dangers, we could naturally take precautions in advance, and when the time comes, the more families who want to make waves when Jinfan is in danger, our Jinfan's warehouse will become more and more solid!" Liu Ye smiled and said, "And things are far from being as difficult to clean up as you imagined, the lord is light on the family and values the people, as long as the people want, the family that is no longer armed is just a disease of ringworm, there is no need to worry about it at all!" ”
Lu Su didn't speak again, Liu Ye said easily, but in fact, would the family really be so easy to deal with? The answer is clearly no.
"Don't overthink it." Liu Ye patted Lu Su on the shoulder, "The slim chance doesn't mean that you won't succeed, you have to have confidence in yourself, and you have confidence in your lord." ”
