Chapter 685: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

In the golden autumn of August, melons and fruits are fragrant.

Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen and Xiao Yi, the two uncles and nephews, launched an attack on Liu Zhang of the Northern Wei Dynasty in two ways.

For a time, the world was watching.

All eyes were drawn to this war.

How will Liu Zhang, the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, respond?

Liu Zhang appointed his eldest son Liu Baoshun as the commander-in-chief, controlled all his generals, and sent troops to fight.

The war is raging!

The land that was once rich has become scorched earth.

Those who were originally alive became corpses.

Xiao Yi met Liu Baoping on the battlefield for the first time.

Without a word, everything is in plain sight.

Relying on their own abilities, they led the soldiers and horses of both sides to fight on the battlefield for three days and three nights, and the sky was dark.

The battle is deadlocked.

There were many people in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and there was a steady stream of troops to replenish them.

Stretching the front and fighting a protracted war is obviously not good for Yan Yunge, who only has the population of the territory of the three counties.

Fortunately......

Yan Yunge had already prepared.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight.

The family of the Northern Wei Dynasty was suppressed by Liu Zhang by force, and they all learned to be honest, buried themselves in being a turtle with a shrunken head, and learned to sing praises of virtue.

Unexpectedly, the battle situation was at a critical moment, and the families of several coastal counties in the Northern Wei Dynasty suddenly reversed!

They were anti-Northern Wei and anti-Liu Zhang, and wanted to take refuge in Yan Yunge.

They should cooperate with the outside world, kill the officials and generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and welcome Xiao Yi's soldiers and horses.

When the news reached the Imperial City of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Liu Zhang was furious!

The rebellion of the family has added a strong shadow to the originally clear situation.

Which direction the war will go next, no one can say.

Liu Zhang sent troops to quell the chaos, and at the same time secretly investigated what benefits Yan Yunge gave to those families, which made the families risk death to rebel.

Those who dare to oppose him Liu Zhang have always been unforgiving, and the nine clans have been punished.

There are no exceptions.

What's more, it was a real rebellion against officials, and the Northern Wei army wanted to put down all the family gates.

Some courtiers stepped forward.

Why did the family risk death to rebel, the reason is clear, and there is no need to investigate at all.

The Northern Wei Dynasty adopted a one-size-fits-all approach to all opposition voices.

As long as you dare to oppose Liu Zhang's accession to the throne and claim the emperor, saying that Liu Zhang is a thief and a thief, and he is not right, he will not be killed, regardless of the commoner or the family!

Liu Zhang's principle, kill a person's head, kill a frightened person, and the living person will naturally take care of his mouth and brain, be honest and obedient, and recognize his identity as an emperor.

And......

Killing the family is also in order to reduce the constraints of the DPRK and China, clean up the local power, and help the government govern the locality.

The starting point is actually similar to Yan Yunge's governance of the two county families.

The family controls the place, the government has become an ornament, and it has become the thug of the family, which is definitely not good.

The difference is ......

Liu Zhang used force to suppress and kill, and all opponents were killed.

Yan Yunge didn't kill, her method was a combination of interests.

There are pros and cons to the family, and you can't just see the disadvantages and deny all the families in one go.

The Maison has a ...... in terms of connections, resources, cultural heritage, knowledge, and talent reserve

and so on, it has a unique advantage.

These advantages, when used properly, are wealth.

What should I do if I want to combine interests, take advantage of the advantages of the family, and pull the family out of the land, let the family take the initiative to give up a large number of slaves, and change its slaves from slave nationality to civil nationality?

Yan Yunge's method can be called a stroke of genius.

Investing in a firm with land.

North-South Commercial Bank, North-South Freight Forwarding, Salt Farm, Sugar Factory, Mine Farm...... Expansion and share increase.

For the majority of families, the door to the combination of interests is wide open.

In particular, the first batch of families who stood up and took the initiative to cooperate with Yan Yunge successfully exchanged their land for shares in the salt farm.

10,000 hectares of land, in exchange for two cents of shares.

Is it too little?

I don't know how many people are envious, how many people beat their chests and feet, and their hands and feet are too slow to grab such a good thing.

Now, if you want to take a stake in the salt farm, the condition is 20,000 hectares of land, in exchange for 5% of shares.

In such a comparison, did the first batch of families who took the initiative to choose cooperation take advantage of it?

That's an eightfold difference!

The family wants to exchange for shares, wants to use money to buy shares, or its firms to buy shares, but Yan Yunge does not accept it.

She only accepts land shares.

Is she poor for money?

She was so poor that she only had money left, and of course she couldn't be poor.

What she is poor is the land, it is the population.

The Maison handed over the land in exchange for shares.

A family loses tens of thousands of hectares of land all of a sudden, so of course there is no need to continue to raise a large number of field slaves.

Even if the field slaves don't need to be paid, they need money for food and clothing.

It costs money to raise people!

One hundred and eighty people are okay, and it doesn't cost much food and clothing.

Can tens of thousands of people still do it?

Do you have too much food to eat, so you keep thousands of slaves for free?

Of course not.

As the land held by the family dwindled, a large number of slaves were freed.

Ji Ping and Han Qizong, who were the parents of the two counties, began to get busy.

Registering the population, building shacks, and dividing the land of the village tenants......

This is the vigorous family struggle action launched by Yan Yunge in the two counties.

The Maison is well-informed.

The experience of the families of the two counties, compared with the experience of the Northern Wei family, should not be too happy.

The family of the Northern Wei Dynasty is envious, jealous, and hateful!

They also wanted to use the land as a shareholder, but the Northern Wei Emperor Liu Zhang did not give them this opportunity.

To be precise, Liu Zhang's family does not have a large-scale business.

He has no shares in the family, all he has is land and population, and he does not have a business territory that has become a large-scale industrial chain.

Yan Yunge's side, after several years of operation, vigorously advocated the development of business, and finally achieved the result of successfully subduing the hearts of the families of the two counties.

Only then did the initiative to take land as a shareholder.

Liu Zhang didn't have this condition, he couldn't follow Yan Yunge's example.

The business controlled by the imperial court did not make enough money to cover the expenses of the imperial court. And how can the shares be divided?

The world's ridiculous.

In the simple concept of the world, the industry of the imperial court must not be touched by merchants.

If the imperial court wants to do business, there is a young mansion, why do you need a businessman.

Shaofu is also an official, so naturally he is not a businessman.

Yan Yunge has no identity prejudices, let alone portal prejudices, so under her rule, the children of merchants can also participate in the imperial examination, and businessmen can also participate in government business projects.

The family exchanged land for shares, and some people laughed at Yan Yunge's stupidity and divided the hens that laid eggs, is it too much money?

Some people say that Yan Yunge has great wisdom, and if he doesn't use swords, he can solve the resistance of the family, and divide and win over him.

Some people also said that Yan Yunge's move has left hidden dangers. Sooner or later, something will happen.

How big the world is, where does she get so many shares to share?

The person who said this definitely did not understand what it meant to be tolerant of increasing shares and what it meant to reduce shareholdings.

I don't know what it means to be bigger and stronger......

If, one day, the interests of the people of the world are tied to the same boat, why can't the north and the south be unified in this world?

Running and shouting, whining and mourning, beating his chest and feet, repenting and introspection, looking north and crying......

All kinds of measures are not as real as the bundling of interests.

Want to go on the Northern Expedition?

Want to go south?

Want to unify your thinking and curb opposing voices?

Bundle everyone's interests together, so that everyone can see that it is profitable and great things can be achieved.

Don't be loyal and patriotic.

Loyal monarchs and patriots have been shouted for hundreds of thousands of years, but the time to rebel has never been delayed for even a quarter of an hour.

Yan Yunge tied the interests of the family together.

Whoever opposes her will not be able to get along with all the families.

The conflict between the two counties was perfectly resolved without spending a single soldier.

Now, she wants to repeat her old tricks, take the territory of several coastal counties of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and block the sea routes of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Let the Northern Wei court completely lose the coastline.

Liu Zhang was furious!

Yan Yunge traitor!

Xiao Yi is a military general, even if he is a genius general, he still has a way to overthrow him.

It's a big deal to surround it tenfold, and I don't believe he can fly out.

Yan Yunge is the real confidant!

Without moving a single soldier, or even coming forward in person, just a little teasing the heart of the family can make the Northern Wei family willing to be driven by her.

"Is there no one to deceive?"

"Your Majesty is angry! Yan Yunge's move can be called a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle. The families of several coastal counties have obviously made up their minds to fight against His Majesty and the imperial court, and follow Yan Yunge wholeheartedly. The old minister thought that since this group of families could not serve His Majesty, it was better to kill them all! Kill chickens and monkeys to set an example. ”

"Kill them all?" Some courtiers were uneasy, "The lives of 100,000 people are involved, and countless people are implicated, and they will be killed?" This will cause chaos in the world. ”

In the past, the suppression of opposing voices was all killed by one family and one surname.

It seems to be fierce, but the number of dead people is limited after all.

Now there are several counties that rebel together, and they are all a few wealthy counties on the eastern coast, with a large number of families and a large population.

Once the killing is opened, the number of dead people will be less than 100,000.

If you do this, everyone in the world will be terrified.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter needs to be thought twice. Afraid of people's turmoil, Weichen thinks that he can only punish the evil, and others will be dealt with leniently. I believe that reasonable people will take the initiative to go out and surrender as soon as the army arrives. ”

"Ridiculous! Naive! They have all killed officials and generals, and the group of families knows that there is no way to retreat, and once the army arrives, it will only intensify and resist stubbornly. Do you think that if you are lenient, someone will repent? Hugh is going to talk nonsense. Your Majesty decrees that the army should slay all opposing forces, regardless of their origins and surnames. ”

"If you do this, the world will criticize you, and Your Majesty will bear the infamy of the world. The world will be in chaos! ”

"Who dares to make a big mess? Together, they will be beheaded. ”

Killing all opposition voices is the simple and brutal governing method of the Northern Wei court.

Liu Zhang, the Yongding Emperor, was obviously inclined to kill.

He hated being nagged by people who talked about him all day long and called him a thief.

The Xiao royal family is extremely incompetent, and they can't even defend the capital and the imperial tomb, so what will the court do.

Why did you refuse to accept him as emperor?

Just because he was an official of the Great Wei Dynasty, he denied everything about him?

Absurd!

Since he denied him, he killed all his opponents.

The voice of exhortation was ignored by him.

He decreed that the army should be quelled and that he would be given the right to act cheaply.

What does it mean to act cheaply?

The veterans of the Liangzhou soldiers and horses are all clear, that is, they can do whatever they want.

After occupying the city, you don't need to be bound by military discipline to kill and loot as much as you can!
