Chapter 182: The Clan Council (4)
Others don't know, can Tang Luo still not know, the so-called treasure ship merchant is not just a group of strong pirates raiding the trip, coastal looting, burning, killing and looting.
Every time the treasure ship returns, there are many piles of bones behind the mountain of jewels, a mere hundreds of millions of gold per year, which may be a great amount of money for the average clan, but for the Tang clan, it is just the same thing, and it does not hurt the muscles and bones.
In exchange for Xiling's truly strong foundation, Tang Luo felt that many people should be clear about the trade-offs, such as the mountain chief and Zongzheng.
As for Tang Gaomin's statement, he can't do anything, everything in the world, there is something to give, and he wants to make a big show in the future, and he wants to make a profit in front of him, but it is difficult to achieve it in this decree.
All of you here are people who know the roots of the Tang Clan, and they all know that this is nothing to make less money every year, only Tang Gaomin is worried about these money, and was about to say something, when he heard the patriarch Tang Zhi ask: "Have you ever thought about what measures the Mi Clan will take to deal with this decree as soon as this decree is issued?"
For the Tang clan, the commoners of Xiling are just a dispensable burden, the family is just a whitewashed and prosperous embellishment, and only the Nancheng Mi is their only opponent, so no matter what kind of decree is issued, judging the Mi's actions is particularly important.
Tang Luo was naturally no exception, and replied confidently: "The Mi clan patriarch is by no means an unwise person, and in the face of the new decree of Beicheng, they have only one way to deal with it. β
"Following suit, as we lift the ban on farming, Mishi must also follow in our footsteps and open up, if not, the civilians in the south of the city will gather in the north of the city and become the people of the north of our city. Therefore, Mi will not allow this to happen, so it must be their move to implement a similar ban. β
With the wisdom of those in power, they can figure it out as long as they see this decree, and the so-called response is nothing but a helpless move, because this decree is not for short-term profits, but for the benefit of the people, and their imitation cannot escape this framework.
And this is Tang Luo's real purpose, as long as the two clans are willing to implement the five-acre land order, the people can get food and clothing, as for twenty years later, with Tang Luo's advanced speed, as long as it develops steadily, it is just a Mi Shier, and it can be broken with one hand!
Tang Zhi nodded, he just asked this question to see if Tang Luo was thoughtful, and when he got the answer, he stopped talking.
He didn't mind whether the field order was open or not, and he didn't care much about Tang Luo's plan, because there was a way to increase the population, and he didn't do it because of the Mi clan in front of Tang's eyes.
Before separating the victory or defeat with Mi and truly establishing the hegemony, Xiling's internal affairs planning was only better than Mi's.
With Tang Zhi no longer speaking, all the elders, look at me and I look at you, except for Tang Gaomin, who was still indignant, the rest had a plan and were ready to vote, at this moment, the great elder Tang Siyuan spoke: "This decree damages the Tang clan to benefit the people, and takes a small name but buries the root cause, the old man is the first to disagree!"
Everyone was in an uproar and turned their eyes to the Great Elder, they didn't expect that in this clan council, the Mountain Elder Sect had not spoken, but the Great Elder was the first to stand up and oppose it clearly, which undoubtedly showed his attitude, which made the hearts of several elders who originally wanted to pass the decree waver.
And Tang Luo frowned even more, he had long known that the Great Elder did not agree with his proposal, but he didn't expect the other party to resist in such a fierce way, you must know that as the eldest of the thirteen elders, many of the people present are his juniors, growing up listening to his earnest teachings, his statement has a decisive role in the hearts of many people, and this sudden opposition is undoubtedly hindering Tang Luo's proposal.
"Great Elder!" Tang Luo did not shy away from looking directly into the other party's eyes and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
The elderly Tang Siyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with the appearance of an old god: "Hundreds of years of government decrees are abolished, but they can't bring benefits to the Tang family. β
This decree that takes time to ferment is just a trivial matter for him, and as for the original ban on farming, it is by no means sacrosanct, and he opposes it so clearly, not because of whether this bill is feasible, but because he wants to knock Tang Luo's sharp spirit!
Although Tang Hongtao retouched Tang Luo's words, how could the unyielding meaning be more deserved, but the things in this world are extremely rigid and easy to break, just say that this is a dispensable decree, as long as there is a person with a very high status to express his position, he can influence the situation, he just wants Tang Luo to understand that the courage to break through the south wall is commendable, but the powerlessness in the face of reality is the normal state in the world.
But what kind of temperament is Tang Luo, he respects ability, not age!
If the Great Elder could say a reason and point out the shortcomings of the Five Mu Field Order, he would gladly accept the revision, but it would be naΓ―ve to want him to agree with a sentence of etiquette.
Tang Luo frowned and said: "This is the place where the clan deliberates, not where you rely on the old and sell the old! If you are so stupid that you can't even tell whether a decree is good or bad, then the position of the Great Elder, I don't think it's better to do it! The corpse vegetarian meal is not my Tang Clan's style!"
Quiet......
No one thought that Tang Luo would dare to mock the Great Elder so much at the clan council, which made everyone's faces change greatly.
"Whew!!" A wave of strong spiritual power exploded from Tang Siyuan's body, and he who had never been teased by someone like this stood up with a bang, and the fierce spirit pressed towards Tang Luo, and the full killing intent made the temperature of the council hall lower, and everyone was silent, looking at the scene in front of them.
Great Elder, angry!
Tang Luo still did not change his true colors, even in the face of the coercion of the fierce realm, he also mustered up his sharp spirit to resist, and looked at the other party with a squint.
"You.. Dare.. So.. Presumptuous!" Tang Siyuan's eyes were full of murderous aura, looking directly at the young man's eyes, almost word by word, the cold in his words was trembling, but it couldn't affect Tang Luo in the slightest.
Pouting, Tang Luo replied: "If the vote is opened, if you don't agree, just vote against it, and say some bullshit to oppose it clearly, isn't it just to give me eye medicine?
"Well... Good son!" Tang Siyuan laughed angrily: "You may not know, the elder has the right to deprive the clan elder of his identity, you are so disrespectful to the clan elder, I will go to your sect elder status now!"
Everyone's faces changed, and Tang Hongtao also stood up and said to Tang Siyuan: "Great Elder, no!"
