Chapter 1415: Table Chips
In the face of huge interests, the enemies who kill their fathers can sit together and drink and talk.
The seven heads of the family knew very well what they needed and what the family had to give, and before entering the camp, they were all ready to bargain chips and negotiate words.
And Li Qinzai knows better what Datang needs and what the wang family needs to pay.
This is a negotiation that knows each other, in fact, before the negotiation, both parties already knew each other's bargaining chips, and today's banquet is nothing more than to put the chips of both sides on the table.
Bright and bright cards, win-win cooperation.
After the guests and hosts each toasted a glass of wine, Li Qinzai had a direct showdown.
"The imperial court has set up two ship divisions in Dengzhou and Quanzhou, and this year it is expected to be able to build more than 10 ships of 3,000 materials and two large ships of 5,000 materials, which can carry about 5,000 soldiers to go to sea with full sailors."
Li Qinzai continued: "Don't underestimate these 5,000 soldiers, if the firearms are fully equipped, they can basically crush all the enemies at the end of the sea, you must know that on the other side of the sea, in the new continent that has not yet been discovered, those wild natives are still living a life of drinking blood. ”
"In front of our Tang Dynasty's firearms, those natives have no other way out than to be crushed and served, so as long as the sailor fleet discovers the New World, it will definitely be conquered."
The expressions of the seven heads of the Wang clan suddenly became excited, they glanced at each other, and then tried to calm their emotions, quietly waiting for Li Qinzai to continue to make conditions.
Li Qinzai looked around at everyone, saw their expressions in his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "I have made a promise with the head of the Lu family, after the Tang Dynasty soldiers conquer the New World, the imperial court can allow the Lu family to run horses for five days to enclose land, and the enclosure only includes farmland and mountains and forests suitable for cultivation, excluding mines. ”
"All the minerals found in the New World must belong to the imperial court, and the imperial court will send troops to take over, this is not negotiable, okay, next, what can you give and what you need, just ask."
The seven were silent, and then turned their eyes to Lu Songxi, their eyes full of disdain.
Dog thief, no wonder he knelt so fast, it turned out that he had already colluded with the imperial court, the Lu family of Wu County seized the opportunity, and the Lu family of the New World ran for five days, and the Lu family got the priority.
Don't underestimate this priority, the most fertile land in the New World, the Lu family can give priority to selection, good cabbage let the pig arch first, there is no reason!
Facing everyone's disdainful and jealous eyes, Lu Songxi didn't say a word, smiled, and didn't care about everyone's disdain at all.
My bottom line is so low that I kneel and lick the court, do I still care about your contempt?
There are so many people who despise me, how old are you?
After finding that the disdainful gaze could not arouse Lu Songxi's shame at all, the six family heads sighed in aion.
Yu Chengzhi, the head of the Huiji Yu family, got up, saluted Li Qinzai, and asked a question in a deep voice that everyone wanted to ask.
"Li Jungong, after we wait for the Seven Great Clans to enclose the territory in the New World, I don't know if the imperial court can allow us to support troops?"
The other six people nodded one after another, and Yu Chengzhi's words were obviously to the point.
After the Tang Dynasty soldiers discovered the New World, they would inevitably conquer the local aborigines, but the aborigines could not be killed, and the resistance of the local natives must be a long-term process.
Li Qinzai thought for a while and said: "The imperial court can make an exception to allow you to support troops, but the number shall not exceed 1,000, and you are not allowed to carry firearms. ”
The expressions of the heads of the family were a little tangled, the conditions for supporting troops were too harsh, and the imperial court seemed to allow it, but it didn't seem to allow it......
The number of people is not more than a thousand, and the weapons can only hold cold weapons, and this little power can only maintain self-preservation, and if you want to be a warlord in the New World, and support the army as the king, it is basically wishful thinking, and the imperial court garrison will have to die more than half of the people if they fire a volley of firearms.
The faces of the heads of the family changed, and after a long time, they quietly extinguished the little rebellious thoughts in their hearts.
Li Qinzai sneered silently.
Of course he knew what a group of old foxes were thinking.
However, it's impossible, let's die, before leaving Chang'an, he and Li Zhi had many deep conversations, and the conditions had been stuck, and those hidden dangers of rebellion had long been strangled to death in the cradle.
"After you enclose the territory in the New World, the imperial court will divide the continent into many blocks, and then set up prefectures and counties respectively, each state and each county has garrisons, as well as the supervision of the Imperial History Observatory and the Hundred Cavalry Division, patrolling and monitoring your actions at any time, so, my lords, let's honestly enclose the land and farm, don't think too much."
Li Qinzai's words pierced, everyone laughed, and the guests and hosts felt very happy.
At this time, the head of the Wei clan stood up and said in a deep voice: "The imperial court allows us to wait for the New World to be exempted from taxes for ten years, but we have invested a lot in the early stage and will not be able to produce in the next few years. ”
Li Qinzai sneered: "What do you want to do?" It's not enough to exempt your New World from taxes, but the land south of the Yangtze River still wants to be exempt from taxes? ”
"You don't have to cry in front of me, I know your family background very well, and I will tell you clearly that the land in the Tang Dynasty must be taxed, this is the basic plate of the imperial court, and it is absolutely not exempt, and the land enclosure and development and cultivation of the New World are the unexpected harvest of the families."
"The land under your name in Jiangnan, the state and county officials are measuring, everything is subject to the new measured amount, and the annual taxes are paid on time, which is not negotiable!"
Listening to Li Qinzai's non-negotiable tone, everyone looked lost and hung their heads silently.
Li Qinzai saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and couldn't help laughing: "What kind of expression are these?" Isn't it a matter of course that you own the land and cultivate it, and the court collects your taxes? It's as if the court has blackmailed you......"
"If you really have a meager family background and can't afford the investment of the New World, you can withdraw now, just guard the land south of your Jiangnan, those who have the ability to do this matter will go up, and those who are incapable will retreat, and the court will not force it."
As soon as the words fell, everyone was in high spirits and shook their heads, saying that their family was enough to spend, and they would never withdraw from the New World enclosure.
Li Qinzai rubbed his face and sighed silently.
are all heads of the wang family, why are they so cheap?
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Everything that the imperial court can give you has been put on the table, and now, it's time for the imperial court to make a request to you, right?" ”
Everyone looked awe-inspired, staring at Li Qinzai as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Don't be nervous, I'm still the same sentence, I put my hands in my pockets that year...... Well, no, the imperial court does not force you to participate in the enclosure of the New World, but if you have to participate, the requirements made by the imperial court must be fulfilled. ”
Facing everyone's vigilant eyes, Li Qinzai said slowly: "First of all, the fields and lands under the names of the major noble clans in Jiangnan must stop expanding, stop here, who is in favor and who is against?" ”
