Even Gu Bing, who had previously felt that he had grasped Chu Yi's thoughts, was apprehensive at this moment, even if he could calculate people's hearts, but people's hearts were changeable, it was already good for him to be able to grasp a few points, and what the person in front of him thought, Gu Bing felt that he might not be able to guess.

Especially after such a big while, Chu Yi didn't react at all to his surrender, which couldn't help but remind Gu Bing of Chu Yi's murderous name.

Chu Butcher, the name of Chu Maniac was obtained by destroying one family after another, and countless heads were rolling, and the life and death of their Gu family were all in Chu Yi's thoughts.

At this time, it was Cheng Xiangwu and Cao Shaoqin, and they didn't know what Chu Yi was planning, so they looked at Gu Bing and Gu Wu who were kneeling on the ground, and they didn't know what the fate of the Gu family would be.

After a while, just when the two Gu Bing brothers were almost desperate in their hearts, Chu Yi's voice sounded in their ears like a heavenly sound: "I hope the Gu family master can remember today's words!" ”

After listening to Chu Yi's words, if it weren't for Gu Bing's hard work, he was afraid that his whole body would have fallen to the ground softly.

The feeling of walking on the edge of life and death is really uncomfortable, first I was scared by Cheng Xiangwu once, and this time I was even more shocked by Chu Yi, Gu Bing did not collapse, it was already a very strong psychological quality, if you were an ordinary person, I was afraid that it would have collapsed long ago.

Chu Yi said lightly: "Gu family master, get up." ”

Gu Bing slowly got up at this time, and when he stood up, his body couldn't help shaking, and his face was a little pale.

At this time, Chu Yi looked at Gu Bing, and said with a glint in his eyes: "This governor likes to talk to smart people, and the Gu family master can make such a choice, and he is expected to be a smart person, so this governor can clearly inform the Gu family master that this sea, this master is open, and anyone who wants to obstruct it will only have one result." ”

That aura of slaughter made Gu Bing's eyes shrink, although Chu Yi didn't say it, but Gu Bing knew very well in his heart that as long as he dared to obstruct Chu Yi from opening the sea, with Chu Yi's temperament, he was afraid that there would only be one way for his family to be ruined.

Just like their Gu family, if it weren't for the fact that he chose to stand on Chu Yi's side and chose to support Kaihai, I'm afraid that after today, there would be no Gu family in this Fuzhou City.

Gu Bing said respectfully: "Gu Jiading fully supports the Overseer to open the sea. ”

Saying that, Gu Bing said again: "My Gu family is willing to sacrifice all the family wealth to help the Overseer build a water master." ”

Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "No need, this governor will not want your Gu family's wealth to build a water master." ”

With a pop, Gu Bingbai fell to the ground, and said earnestly: "The great grace of the overseer, the Gu family remembers it in mind, but the wealth of the Gu family is all obtained from sea trade, which can be said to be illegal wealth, and my Gu family has been attached to the overseer, so naturally I can't leave these illegal wealth in the Gu family." I hope that the Overseer will be perfected. ”

Chu Yi nodded and said, "That's it, in this case, the Gu family's shops and acres can be owned by the Gu family, and the Gu family's gold and silver will be dedicated to the Son of Heaven." ”

Gu Bing was immediately overjoyed, and said respectfully: "Gu Bing bows to the Lord of Thanks." ”

You must know that Gu Bing is ready to sacrifice all the Gu family's wealth, looking at Chu Yi's determination, unless Chu Yi is harmed, otherwise the opening of the sea will inevitably be carried out by him, and I don't know how many maritime families will be destroyed by then.

Although their Gu family said that they belonged to Chu Yi, their own family wealth was too large and too eye-catching, and it was difficult to guarantee that it would not become a hidden danger at that time.

Now Chu Yi opened his mouth, leaving acres of land and shops to the Gu family, but he just took away the gold and silver property, which is not an unacceptable loss for the Gu family.

The Gu family has been operating the sea trade for a hundred years, and the amount of wealth accumulated is by no means imaginable by ordinary people, just imagine, the Gu family is known as half of the city, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it can also be seen how much the Gu family's wealth is.

At this time, Cheng Xiangwu said to Gu Bing with a little curiosity: "Master of the Gu family, your Gu family is known as Gu Bancheng, I don't know how rich the family is?" ”

Gu Bing slowly exhaled a breath, and seeing everyone's eyes fall on him, Gu Bing sighed: "My Gu family plus acres of fields and shops has about six million taels of silver, of which acres and shops account for about two million taels, the merchant fleet at sea is worth about 500,000 taels, and the rest is about 3.5 million taels of gold and silver. ”

Cheng Xiangwu couldn't help but gasp, even if he had known the Gu family's wealth for a long time, he really didn't expect the Gu family to have a wealth of six million.

Chu Yi just knew that the Gu family must have purchased a lot of acres of land and shops, but he didn't expect that the shops and acres of land were worth two million taels, so if you count it, I am afraid that at least one or two percent of the acres of land around Fuzhou Mansion are in the hands of the Gu family.

It can't be said that it is tens of thousands of acres of land, don't think that tens of thousands of acres of land are less, that means that there are at least thousands of tenant farmers working for the Gu family, which is the invisible force of the Gu family.

Think about Xu Jie, the first assistant of the Jiajing Dynasty, which was a famous huge greed in the Ming Dynasty, and the fields occupied by the Xu family alone in his hometown reached as many as three or four hundred thousand mu.

That's three or four hundred thousand acres of land, maybe it can't be compared with millions of taels of silver, but since ancient times in China, fields are the foundation of people, and hundreds of thousands of acres of fields are far more difficult than millions of taels of silver.

The Gu family has been exhausted for a hundred years, and they have been able to save so much family wealth for several generations, no wonder the Gu family is known as Gu Bancheng.

Gu Bing noticed Chu Yi's expression, and said in his heart: "Lord, the Gu family's acres of land are as many as 50,000 mu, most of them are purchased, and my Gu family is willing to sacrifice all the acres." ”

is the so-called breaking wealth and ensuring safety, Gu Bing felt the power of Chu Yi, and clearly realized that although the Gu family was strong in the past, it was not to meet more domineering officials, just like Cheng Xiangwu and Chu Yi, any one of them could make their Gu family full of people.

The Gu family must be an official, otherwise even if there is a lot of family wealth, it will be just a mirror and a fish for others.

Chu Yi didn't know the changes in Gu Bing's heart, there were pros and cons to concentrating acres of land in the hands of one family, and the advantage was that the Gu family had a lot of wealth, and they were able to build water conservancy in the year of famine, ensure that the acres of land were cultivated, and not make the tenant farmers displaced due to natural disasters.

However, the disadvantages are not small, if the Gu family exploits the tenant farmers, once it encounters a disaster year, then it is very likely to cause civil unrest.

Chu Yi knew that in a few decades, Daming would enter the Xiaoice River period, when natural disasters were frequent, and it was by no means something that small farmers and small families could bear, after all, the strength of one family was simply not enough to build water conservancy to resist natural disasters.

In the face of natural disasters, the only reliance of small farmers and small households is the government, and only the government can concentrate on building water conservancy, but it must be in the case of peace and prosperity and the state has spare strength, otherwise we can know the horror of natural disasters just by looking at natural disasters and man-made disasters in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.

Chu Yi was a little hesitant, even if he collected these acres, he didn't know what to do with them, and if they were returned to the government, in terms of the virtues of those officials in the government, I was afraid that in a few years, these official fields would become the private property of the officials under various names.

Fang Li walked to Chu Yi at this time, and said with a slight smile: "Overseer, since the Gu family master has a heart, the overseer might as well take these fields, and then give these fields to the officers and soldiers of the water division, in this way, you will definitely be able to harvest the hearts of the army, so that the officers and soldiers in the army have no worries." ”

Cheng Xiangwu on the side couldn't help but light up when he heard this, Fang Li's proposal was naturally very beneficial to him, the Gu family's fields were naturally near Fuzhou City, and almost most of the soldiers he recruited were from Fuzhou, many of the soldiers' homes were really from the four walls, and many of them were from tenants, if it was really as Fang Li said, if those acres were given to these soldiers at that time, it would definitely be able to make the soldiers return to their hearts.

The corners of Chu Yi's mouth curled slightly, if it weren't for Fang Li's mention, Chu Yi really hadn't thought about giving those fields to the sailors.

50,000 acres of land, the quota of 10,000 sailors, that is to say, if you remove the generals and officials, even the most ordinary soldiers, you can get three or four acres of land at that time.

You must know that Fujian has the title of eight mountains, one water and one field, that is to say, Fujian is mountainous and hilly, and there are very few plains suitable for farming, which makes the acres more and more precious.

Three or four acres of land may not seem like much, but for those soldiers in the army who have no land, three or four acres of land may be enough for their relatives to survive.

Chu Yi looked at Cheng Xiangwu and chuckled, "What about Dingwu Boyi?" ”

Cheng Xiangwu took a deep breath and saluted Chu Yi and said, "The last general is a lieutenant general in the army, and I implore the overseer to give me good land to strengthen the heart of a soldier." ”

Cheng Xiangwu looked at Chu Yi and said: "If the overseer can settle the families of the soldiers in the army on the acres of land, the general can ensure that the news spreads, or in a few days, all the vacant soldiers in the army can definitely be recruited." ”

Chu Yi nodded, sighed lightly, and said, "It's a pity that the Gu family's fields are a little less, and a soldier only has three or four acres of land, but it's not enough to support the family." ”

In this era, the output is extremely low, and there are at least seven or eight people in a family, and the output of three or four acres of land is simply not enough to feed so many people.

Cheng Xiangwu was stunned and said: "It's better than nothing." ”

At this moment, Fang Li smiled slightly, and said to Gu Bing: "Master Gu, I don't know that in this Fuzhou City, in addition to the Gu family, there is also a maritime family?" ”

Gu Bing was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Although Fuzhou City takes my Gu family as the most, there are still two maritime merchants of Han and Qin, but the Han and Qin families are afraid that it is unlikely that they will submit to the overseer and support the overseer to open the sea!" ”

Fang Li smiled and said, "Then ask the Gu family master to personally testify that the Han and Qin families colluded with the Qingcheng faction to assassinate the imperial court officials!" ”

Looking at Fang Li with a sinister face, Gu Bing couldn't help but shrink his eyes, and subconsciously looked towards Chu Yi.
