"Things have come to this point, and it's not something we can give up if we want to!" The fat man glanced back and forth at everyone, "You are willing to lose the inheritance of your ancestors in your hands!" ”

"I'm not reconciled anyway!"

"Liu Bei's hostility to our family is engraved in his bones, look at his series of actions, first to divide power, and then to attack the status of my family, deliberately spread books, so that we and other scholars are equal to peddlers and pawns, now, it seems that he is just migrating the population, but, what is the biggest impact?"

The fat man looked around at everyone and said word by word: "It's the land!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped.

"Think about it, without these grass people, if I don't want to abandon a large amount of land under my name, then I can only be soft with Liu Bei, and from then on I will completely become the laughing stock of scholars, or I can only move away from my homeland, but no matter what point, I don't think it is what you want to see!"

In today's industrial social system, land abandonment is illegal, not to mention that under the ancient agrarian social system, if you dare to abandon the land under your name, you will have to take back the land at least and be held accountable at worst.

In addition, whether you are planting this land or not, you can't pay a penny less tax, if it was good when the Han Dynasty was before, the control was not enough, tax evasion and tax evasion have become a trend, but now......

Taxes alone can make them a family that can't eat and walk around.

Of course, you can also sell all the land under your name and sell it to the government, after all, Liu Bei said that he wanted to buy land from them, but there is not much difference between doing this and moving south, in addition, Liu Bei is still willing to buy land!

As long as the momentum of abandonment is completed, giving that Wang Xuan an excuse, they will not let Wang Xuan pinch and rub it at that time.

"Liu Gong, what do you say, we listen to you!" Someone shouted below.

"Yes, we listen to Liu Gong!"

Liu Fatzi showed a satisfied smile and said loudly: "We are contacting various families in Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and even Nanyang, and we will ...... when the time comes."

……

Most of this migration was completed in Jizhou, and a small number were settled in Youzhou, because they were all well-developed areas, so they did not cause much loss in the process of migration.

With the influx of a large number of people into the newly established industrial and mining fields, the progress of all projects has been greatly accelerated, a steady stream of iron ore and coal has been mined, steel has been smelted, cement has been produced, and by the way, with Jizhou as the center, various infrastructure construction has begun to be laid on a large scale.

The first steps were large-scale road paving and the construction of new towns, and more than 200,000 people were involved in this major project.

On this day, Su Shuang, who was in charge of the Commerce Department under Liu Bei, came to the door.

Speaking of Su Shuang, in fact, Su Shuang is also a child of the Su family, but he is just a side of the Su family.

Su Shuang has been smart and studious since he was a child, but due to his background, he could not get the training of the Su family's educational resources, not to mention that the Su family paid the price to let him go to the officialdom of filial piety and honesty.

When the Yellow Turban Uprising was in place, he easily supported Liu Bei, although he imitated Lü Buwei's allusion to invest in Qin Shi Huang, but in fact, he was just doing it easily, and he didn't really think that Liu Bei, who was weaving mats and selling shoes, could really have today.

Unexpectedly, his casual actions back then would have achieved his current status, and he also completely broke away from the Su family, and raised his ambition to establish his own Su family.

"Zaizhi, the Commerce Department has found some bad signs here." Sitting next to Wang Xuan, Su Shuang frowned and said, although under Wang Xuan's promotion, everyone has realized the huge role of industry and commerce, but it is impossible to reverse the inherent cognition of hundreds of years if you really want to say it, not to mention, this commercial department is almost original, and everything is still being explored.

"Oh, what's the problem?" Wang Xuan became interested all of a sudden, and if he could make the Commercial Department feel that something was wrong, it would definitely not be small.

"The price of grain in the market has risen by 40%, and the shipment volume has also decreased a lot, and my subordinates feel that if it continues like this, I am afraid that there will be problems."

"Other things including cattle and sheep, cloth and many other things, prices have risen in different ranges, at the same time, the data reported from various places show that shipments have also decreased by different ranges, it is expected that although there will be no change in business taxes due to rising prices in a short period of time, but subordinates always feel uneasy."

Wang Xuan's eyes flickered a few times, and he probably had a guess in his heart, "What does your Commerce Department think about this issue, and tell me about the results of your discussion." ”

"Almost everyone thinks that it is due to the migration of the population, which leads to problems in the autumn harvest, and the grain output has declined, radiating to the market, which has led to an increase in the price of related products, which is a panic caused by a hard problem, and some grain can be transferred from Qingxu and Xuzhou, and it can be adjusted." Su Shuang frowned and said.

"Heh, there is some truth in the analysis, but I think it is more likely to be a man-made disaster!" Wang Xuan said with a sneer.

"What!?" Su Shuang looked at Wang Xuan with a surprised expression, and thought of something in an instant, "Man-made disaster?" What does it mean that the local family deliberately controls? Deliberately reducing the number of products on the market? ”

"You say that!" Wang Xuan pursed his lips and continued: "When you were in control of the Su family's business affairs back then, you should have known the power that the Su family could use, this world said that it was Shi Nong Industry and Commerce, in fact, agriculture and industry were basically controlled in the hands of Shi Shi, and it was impossible for simple businessmen to develop and grow, including the Mi family, which was also a local hero. ”

"Therefore, there are few problems in agriculture and industry, but once there is any problem as a whole, it must be in the family." With that, Wang Xuan stood up and walked towards the door, "Since they made another move, we can't help but continue." ”

Under Wang Xuan's auspices, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Taxation cooperated with the intelligence department to begin an investigation throughout Hebei on how much land they had, what crops they planted, how much they harvested, how much taxes should be paid, how much they actually paid, how much they actually paid, how much they had in stock, and where they had been stored.

Half a month later, the price of grain had nearly tripled, and the prices of other commodities had become extremely outrageous for no apparent reason, and since all the industrial and mining factories in various localities had adopted the 'salary' system, the prices of commodities had risen sharply without any change in wages, and there had been a great deal of panic in various places.

And the masterminds behind all this are watching with great interest, just waiting for the public resentment to boil, it is the day when they will turn the tide!
