Chapter 823: Her aura was enough to shock everyone present
After eating for a while, Su Tang said casually: "I heard that there are countless refugees outside Liangzhou City, and because they can't be resettled, they have caused a lot of trouble to Xiaojiu?" ”
Su Jiu nodded, "Yes." Although King Su opened a warehouse to release grain, the grain was limited after all, and he had to supply the front-line army. If we can't find a way to accommodate them within two months, I am afraid it will cause a catastrophe. ”
"I have an idea for you." Su Tang smiled, "Southern Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated, and a lot of land has not yet been cultivated. If Xiaojiu believes me, you can hand over those refugees to me and I will take them back to southern Xinjiang for resettlement. ”
Su Jiu took a sip of rice wine.
The deer's eyes were lowered, and a trace of calculation passed through her mind.
The most important thing in the world today is the land and the people, Xiao Tingchen has just ceded the land as the king, if this is to hand over the people in the land to other countries, what will it be like to spread it?
Southern Xinjiang is remote and dangerous, and those refugees may not be willing to go.
Not to mention......
She raised her eyelashes, "My cousin said that he was sharing my worries, but in fact, he was planning for southern Xinjiang." Southern Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated, and the army is limited, so it is impossible to set off the flames of war in the world. My cousin moved hundreds of thousands of people into southern Xinjiang to reclaim land and build roads, and within three years, southern Xinjiang was a new atmosphere, and it may not have the strength to compete in the Central Plains. I haven't seen him for many years, and my cousin's mind is much deeper than when I was a child. ”
Even if he was broken by a word, Su Tang only smiled indifferently.
He personally added some rice wine to Su Jiu, "Xiaojiu is very smart. You were very smart when you were a child, smarter than me and Su Liu. ”
Su Jiu lost the interest in eating with him again.
She got up and left with a blank face.
Su Tang sat alone under the tree, and the peach petals were scattered all over the table.
He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth.
Soft and glutinous, sweet and melts in the mouth.
It's the taste of childhood, but it's not the taste of childhood.
But undoubtedly, it is still his favorite food in his life.
Su Jiu sat alone in the dormitory, thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with the idea of rehousing the refugees.
There are large tracts of uncultivated land in southern Xinjiang, and Liangzhou and Yongzhou may not have none.
It's just that......
The girl's mind turned a thousand times.
Soon, she sent Bai Lu to King Su's mansion, invited King Su to hold a banquet in the palace, and invited the nobles of Liangzhou and Yongzhou to attend the banquet.
The banquet was scheduled for 10 days later.
Su Jiu was busy making incense and medicine, and he didn't have time to take care of Su Tang, but this man didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and still lived in the small mansion.
He sat on the big chair with his cheeks propped up, watching Su Jiu write under the eaves.
The little girl's body was very straight, and her lotus-colored wide sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing half of her thin white wrists.
The small hand gently holds the Xiangfei bamboo pen, and the hairpin flower jumps on the paper, upright and gorgeous.
"How did Xiaojiu study the incense recipe?" He watched as she smeared and tore off sheets of rice paper, as if he wasn't satisfied with the recipes, "And it'...... Harmful incense recipes. ”
Su Jiu didn't even raise his eyelids, "I remember that I had already asked my cousin to live in the inn, why are you still in my yard?" ”
"I came from thousands of miles to the south of Xinjiang, and I slept all the way, how could Xiaojiu bear to take me to the inn?" The man chuckled, "I thought, Xiaojiu probably wants to take the land from the nobles of the family and use it to settle the refugees?" But as vested interests, they can't easily let go. Xiaojiu asked King Su to prepare a banquet, and he must have planned to set up a Hongmen banquet to force them to nod and agree. ”
Su wine condenses the incense party.
A few strands of lacquered hair were blown to her forehead by the spring breeze, and she said lightly: "Salute first and then soldier." If they are willing to give up land to resettle refugees, I can promise on behalf of Xiao Tingchen that they will be exempted from taxes and forced labor for 20 years, and that they will be rewarded with titles according to the amount of land they have taken out. ”
Su Tang played with the folding fan.
He stared at the girl.
She has a hosta hairpin, wears a lotus-colored skirt, and the large pear blossom white sleeves make her beautiful and outstanding, and her little face without powder is just like a hibiscus out of the water, which is charming and pure.
Obviously, I saw that Miss Jiaojiao, who was just raised in the boudoir and didn't know the world, was able to come up with such a wonderful method in a short time.
There is indeed no shortage of land in the hands of those families.
Especially the wealthy merchants, if they can exchange land for titles and fame, they will definitely be happy.
And for those in power, the title is just a reward used to win over the people below, no real power, no private soldiers, nothing.
Su Jiu suddenly looked at Su Tang with a smile, "What do you think, cousin, how about my method?" ”
"Very good." Su Tang's eyes were approving, "Salute first and then soldier, Xiaojiu may not need the latter hand 'soldier'." ”
Ten days later.
The wealthy families of Liangyong and Yong really came according to the agreement.
Yuan Meng gathered them to the palace hall, and waited until everyone was seated before inviting Su Jiu out.
The girl was dressed up today.
The carmine skirt is more dignified, the gold crown of hanging tassels and filigree makes her beautiful without losing her majesty, although the deer's eyes are crystal clear, but the grace and elegance between the eyes are not at all like a sixteen-year-old girl.
Her aura was enough to shock all the men present.
With her wide sleeves brushed, she sat down indifferently.
Holding the teacup in her white fingertips, she said softly: "The country of Qi has no way, and the people and land who have turned their backs on Liangyong are not worthy of your allegiance. Now you are all my people, and I invite you to come because I have something to ask for. ”
Everyone here is a human spirit.
Everyone understands that the biggest problem at present is how to resettle the refugees outside Liangzhou City, and Su Jiu gathered them together, obviously to let them contribute money and efforts, and even, to the land.
They were unwilling to be ruled by Bei Liang, so they were willing to be loyal to Xiao Tingchen.
But that doesn't mean they're willing to cede vested interests.
An old man in brocade said with a smile: "Miss Su, let's get straight to the point, what do you want me to wait for?" ”
Su Jiu's voice was calm: "Since ancient times, Liangyong Land has been vast and sparsely populated, but most of the land is in your hands. I would like to ask you to set aside some of the land to be used to resettle the refugees. ”
The old man laughed, "Miss Su, land is the foundation of our lives, and we can't hand it over easily!" ”
"As Empress Dayong, I ask you to hand over the land. In exchange, I will exempt you from twenty years of taxation and servitude, and give you knighthoods according to the amount of land you have surrendered. ”
Su Jiu's eyebrows and eyes were cold, and he was categorical.
The hall fell silent.
They looked at each other a few times, and the old man said, "Not to mention whether Miss Su's words count, even if she can count in the future, twenty years of tax and conscription is nothing compared to land." Miss Su's conditions were not enough. ”
Su Jiu smiled slightly.
Yuan Meng immediately clapped his hands.
Everyone looked at the door, and a pair of men and women in ragged clothes were tied up and pushed in.
It turned out to be Xue Zhimei and Xue Xiwen!
Su Jiu was indifferent, "Who they are, everyone must know very well." I Su wine has always repaid kindness and grievances, they have offended me, and those who have offended me...... None of them will end well. ”
Gu Yu lifted the knife.
In the screams of the Xue family's brothers and sisters, he cut off the hands of the two of them alive!
