Chapter 22 Encouraging the Poor to Promote the New Deal

The last two days of the month are the days when the prefectures and counties distribute the liquor, and every few days, the seat of each prefecture and county will be crowded, and everyone will laugh and laugh, some with pockets of different sizes, and some even push carts to the city treasury, and queue up for a long line to receive the precious and abnormal spirit valley.

Of course, the monks of the rich and noble families generally do not come to line up, so naturally there are those slaves in the family to do these things. And even so, these slaves will generally pull away the Linggu belonging to their masters a day or two in advance. Therefore, in the past two days, almost all of the people who came to line up to receive the Lu Lu were poor monks.

Jordon saw this opportunity.

He almost didn't adopt what Gao Ming said to him, but he adopted Gao Ming's ideas. Immediately after returning to the CD from the Servant Road, he personally wrote an article on the New Deal, which was printed in countless copies. At this time, he stood at the door of the treasury and asked his subordinates to distribute it to these monks who came from all over Shu County.

"Fellow monks," Qiao Deng first flew over the huge stone lion at the entrance of the treasury so that everyone behind him could see him, "I am Qiao Deng, Qiao Deng of the Qiao family in Shu County. Presumably, everyone has heard of some of the things that have happened these days, and I, Qiao Deng, are here today to further explain to you the new policy of Lord Jun. ”

Jordon was nervous at first, he had never done anything like this, and he hadn't even heard of anyone doing anything like that. Since ancient times, everyone has been doing what they are told. What policies and measures are above, the boss gives an order, whether you agree or disagree with your subordinates, and the big guy implements it. As for those who are not even officials, they have no right to speak, and no one cares what they think.

No one would do this, not even think like this, except for Gao Ming, who was not inferior to this world in the first place.

The feudal officials of a state or even a county, also known as the shepherd, are the shepherds of the Son of Heaven. The people are like the sheep and oxen, and the keeper of the county is like the shepherds. But the sheep and cattle belong to the Son of Heaven, and not to the shepherds themselves. But in any case, for the shepherds, will they care about the feelings of the cattle and sheep, will they consider the thoughts of the cattle and sheep?

No one cared, including the former Jordden.

On his way back to the CD, he pondered the question repeatedly. Jordon was very arrogant, but he was never a rigid man, he was very intelligent and very studious, otherwise he would not have had such a reputation at this age. Gao Ming said a lot, but apart from this idea, other statements were completely negligible in Qiao Deng's mind. But this line of thinking seems to solve the problem he encountered at once.

He did not doubt the support of the Hanmen monks for this reform, even if there was opposition, and that was in the minority.

The first thing he thought of was Wang Ji in the last years of the former Shang dynasty. Didn't Wang Ji rely on the huge prestige he had accumulated for decades to finally succeed in usurping business?

But even so, Wang Ji's supporters were all those who were either famous, or wealthy or high-ranking officials, and they never considered the idea of a poor monk.

When he thought of this, Jordon was very nervous.

What Luo Shang did was essentially the same as what Wang Ji did back then, but some improvements were made on the basis of Wang Ji. The main targets of Wang Ji's reforms were those noble relatives of the former Shang Dynasty, and Wang Ji relied on monks who gradually occupied the imperial court and even various prefectures and counties.

"Who are your friends? Who are your enemies? This is the revolution, no, ahem, this is the first question to be faced by the reform. He remembered in his mind what Gao Ming had said to him solemnly.

He instinctively resent the remark.

Friend or foe?

Is my father my enemy too?

This was his first reaction when he heard Gao Ming's words. But at this time, when he recalled Gao Ming's sentence again, he was terrified to find that Gao Ming's sentence was actually right, at least in what he was going to do.

My father is my enemy?

So who am I?

He couldn't figure it out. He bypassed the question, he forced himself not to think about it anymore.

Yes, Wang Ji failed in the end. But his early stage was successful, which means that Gao Ming's idea is right.

Regarding Wang Ji's failure, his great-grandfather once said: "Although everyone verbally said that Wang Ji was a national thief, everyone knew in their hearts that Wang Ji wanted to change the situation that the former Shang was about to collapse. The noble relatives of the former Shang occupied tens of thousands of acres of spiritual land at every turn, and they continued to take it by force. The monks of the world could not bear this situation for a long time. Therefore, after Wang Jian proposed his reform measures, he was immediately warmly welcomed by the monks of the world. Wang's fault lies not in his reform measures, but in the fact that he should not usurp the business of more than 300 years. In view of the defeat of the former merchants, the Later Shang greatly restricted the occupation of the land by the nobles and their relatives, which ushered in the prosperous era of the Later Shang Ming Zhang, which allowed the Liu merchants to continue more than two hundred years ago. ”

Yes, Wang Ji is wrong not to usurp the business foundation, but now it is the people of the Huangfu family who are implementing this policy. Jordon thought this, and his fear slowly subsided.

Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Lingtian of the nobles and even the vassal kings was formulated from the beginning, as long as there was a matter of forcible seizure, the officials of the imperial court responsible for supervising the vassal kings and nobles would report these matters to the imperial court, and the household would be cut at the lightest, and the lord would be cut at the worst. But even so, in Joeden's view, it was not enough.

As long as the spiritual field is not surveyed for a day, then this kind of cunning and plundering will continue to occur. The Great Jin Dynasty has only been established for more than 20 years, although the occupation of the vassal kings and nobles is not particularly serious, but those who rely on the vassal kings and nobles are still developing very rapidly.

In Qiao Deng's view, only from top to bottom, every monk's spiritual field is fixed to death, just like the one formulated by Emperor Fu of Qi, this phenomenon will not continue to happen, and the Great Jin Dynasty will have long-term peace and stability, and the world will have long-term peace and stability.

It is this belief that sustains Jordon and supports him to talk eloquently in front of the people he never cares about, rather than in front of high-ranking officials and nobles.

“...... Re-measuring the spiritual field, distributing it according to the head, and truly realizing that every cultivator has his or her field, this is a good thing, this is a great good thing. This is not only related to the long-term peace and stability of the Great Jin, but also related to the interests of everyone present. Now, however, those who possess a large amount of spiritual land are resisting this policy and obstructing it, making it impossible for the Emperor to carry out this reform.

At this time, it is time for my generation to stand up and raise our voices, both for the sake of the court and for yourselves. Whoever supports this reform will stand on my left hand, and those who do not support or oppose it will stand on my right. ”

As soon as Jordon's voice fell, he saw that everyone present was standing on his left-hand side, and those few who hesitated to see this scene also stood with everyone after looking around.

"Good. Qiao Deng was overjoyed to see this scene, and the pride in his chest had never been as high as it is now, so he suddenly raised his right arm and shouted, "Re-measure the Lingtian!"

"Re-measure the spiritual field!" the monks below shouted out first.

"Distribute according to the head!"

"According to the distribution of heads!" This time, it was a thousand people who spoke in unison, and everyone's face showed excitement and fanaticism.

Not only on the CD, but at the same time, in Jiangyang, Hanjia, Wenshan and other counties in Yizhou, the same voice was shouted by countless people one after another.
