Chapter 1227: How to Think About the People

Han Yu remembered a fat man, he only had a one-sided relationship with that fat man, but they had a good conversation and became a good friend.

That fat man is Xu San, who has crossed the lake and never returned.

Then Han Yu looked at Su Yuanxiu in front of him in disbelief.

Why? There are two identical people in this world? If they were twin brothers, they couldn't even be the same Natal Flying Sword, right?

It turned out that when Xu San crossed the lake back then, he had to face Su Yuanxiu!

And Xu San's death is also the hand of Su Yuan on the other side of the lake!

That fat man with an honest face, a military genius, what a pity!

If he had been there, Han Yu estimated that Su Xuan would have unified the north long ago.

The world is in turmoil, there are thousands of dead, Xu San is definitely not the only pity to die, but it must be the most regrettable to die.

"Brother Su, what the hell are you talking about? The old man is a little confused." Han Yu asked.

"Brother Han, we're a bit far off the topic, aren't we? Now should be the time to discuss major events in Jiangnan, right?" Su Yuanxiu asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Han Yu nodded repeatedly.

Why is there still a Su Yuanxiu in this world, Han Yu is very strange.

But now they were discussing how to rule Jiangnan, and suddenly they talked about another Su Yuanxiu, and it was indeed far away.

"All of Brother Su's proposals are indeed insightful. Brother Su has a long-term vision, and the old man is happy and convinced." Han Yu said.

"Ke is not talented, I want to ask, this Yangzhou is still full of displaced people, for this problem, do Su seniors use Yongzhou's strategy to deal with it?" Ke asked in a difficult way.

"There's a saying about adapting to local conditions. Yangzhou is not as good as Yongzhou, and there are still a lot of heroes who can't escape from the world. We can't knock out all the giants with a single stick." Su Yuanxiu said.

"It's not just Yangzhou, it's Jiangling as well. If you want to divide the land equally, you have to bring them all down. In this way, they will definitely rebel. Then there will be more rebels, and the world will still be in chaos. So Brother Su, what is the best way to deal with it?" Han Yu asked.

This strategy is not very desirable.

Those powerful occupy the vast majority of fertile land and resources, but they do not make any contribution to society.

is like a businessman like Zhu Xuanqing, he has indeed collected all the money in the world. But could it be that during the period when Zhu Xuanqing was located in Yuezhou, the people of Yuezhou were not much richer than other places?

"We are not robbers and bandits, and we cannot burn, kill, and loot as soon as we occupy Yangzhou City. First of all, it is necessary to show the whole Yangzhou whose thing it should be, or whose thing it is.

There are many business giants in Yangzhou, and the wealth is still in the hands of a few people. We have to find a way to get money and land out of the hands of those who have money and land, and let them do it voluntarily."

Su Yuanxiu said.

"Huh? Brother Su, what you say is a bit interesting." Han Yu said.

"Brother Han is a scholar, who is the protagonist of this debt-ridden building, Brother Han must be clear." Su Yuanxiu said with a smile.

"Hmm...... Could it be that Brother Su wants to emulate King Zhou?" Han Yu asked.

"King Zhou's method of borrowing money from the common people is actually a very clever method." Su Yuanxiu said with a smile.

Han Yu immediately figured out what it meant.

In the pre-Qin period, King Zhou Xun borrowed money from the common people because he had no money to fight, and made a note, and returned it with interest after the victory.

However, after the defeat of King Zhou Yu, there was no money to repay, so he built a high platform and hid on it to escape debts, so there was an allusion to the high debts.

King Zhou borrowed money from the people in the name of Zhou Tianzi, which was regarded as using his royal status as collateral, so many people believed it.

And it seems that they can also use the same method to borrow money from ordinary people.

Moreover, today's coalition army is not comparable to King Zhou. Don't talk about Han Yu, let's talk about Changning Army, which already enjoys a high reputation among the people.

It is not difficult for Su Yuanxiu to borrow money, but how to return it?

"Yes, Brother Su borrowed money from those gentry landlords, and then he had to return it with interest? Won't it make the landlords and gentry richer and richer?" Han Yu asked.

"No, no, I didn't say it, we need to improve this method. We borrowed money not only from landlords, but also from ordinary people.

I, you, and Ke have set up a cabinet. In the name of the Cabinet, we jointly issued a debt deed to the public, and anyone who was willing to borrow money from the Cabinet would borrow money from the Cabinet and make a contract.

And the content of this contract is not to wait until when the principal and interest will be returned. Rather, let's say you lend me a hundred taels of silver, and agree to lend me for a long time.

For example, if you borrow for ten years, then I will repay you a total of 110 taels, and pay it off in 10 years, only 11 taels per year.

For example, if you borrow for 20 years, the interest will be doubled, and you will be repaid in a total of 120 taels, which will be repaid in 20 years. Then I only need to pay back six taels of silver every year.

The content and form of this deed can also be varied. For example, war debts, water conservancy debts, construction debts, and so on.

You think, those who have money, who have nowhere to put the money in their pockets, will be willing to lend us some of it when they hear that there is such a good thing.

First, they also want to eat our interest, and second, the whole of Jiangnan has become our territory, and they also want to express their meaning to us.

And we don't take money from them, but we can take money out of their pockets, and we get more than we can do."

Su Yuanxiu said with a smile.

Hearing Su Yuanxiu's words, Han Yu and Ke were stunned.

This may sound like a fanciful idea, but if you think about it, it's definitely doable!

Even Xiao Qiao next to him was shocked by Su Yuanxiu's remarks.

She didn't know that her master still had so many real skills in his head.

Thinking about it carefully, no wonder Su Xuan is his son, and he is indeed a tiger father without a dog!

This father and son, one is smarter than the other!

Xiao Qiao thought to himself, he was with the right person.

However, there are still many doubts in everyone's hearts.

"Anyway, we borrowed too much money, but the wool is still out of the sheep, and in the middle and late stages, we may take the old path of King Zhou Yu because we can't pay the money......," Han Yu muttered.

He always felt that there was such a possibility, but he felt that he still hadn't thought it through.

After all, the concept brought by Su Yuanxiu is too advanced.

"No, no, Brother Han has noticed that the price is getting lower and lower year by year. In the early days of the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, one tael of silver was enough for a family of three to spend for a year. But nowadays, if a family only spends one or two pieces of silver a year, it will starve to death.

In other words, this money is becoming less and less valuable every year. Let's borrow so much money and slowly repay it at a certain interest. Actually, it's not that we lose, but that we earn.

And this money is not set in stone in our hands. Those gentry tried their best to get money out of the pockets of the common people. We're going to find a way to take their money out and use it for development.

For example, the construction of water conservancy can irrigate more farmland and prevent drought and flood disasters. For example, the construction of a city-state can be used to provide a better life for more people and let them live in the city.

For example, it can be used for disaster relief, which can also give those poor people who are homeless or even have enough to eat, a way to live.

And we have a lot of money in our pockets to feed more people, so we don't have to forcibly levy coolies to build water conservancy...... By the way, speaking of this matter, does Brother Han know how Plains City developed?"

Su Yuanxiu said.

In fact, Su Yuanxiu had so many management ideas, which he realized after secretly going to Plains City.

Plains City has received an unknown number of people, most of them are coolies, and they are all Northern Barbarians, and they are all Northern Barbarians who voluntarily come to work as coolies.

Plains City like that

Spread the pattern, the value of emulation.

Combined with the measures of the debt-ridden King Zhou, it will surely achieve significant results.

"This...... I've heard a little." Han Yu nodded.

"Plains City has recruited hundreds of thousands of coolies, and most of those coolies are northern barbarians, and they all work voluntarily. Why? Because Zhu Xuanqing is rich, he is willing to pay for his wages and give him food.

And we have money in our hands, so let's use money and food to recruit labor, whether it is for them to build water conservancy or cities. We paid them, and after these water conservancy cities were repaired, they still benefited from them.

In this way, it is truly taken from the people and used by the people."

Su Yuanxiu touched the stubble on his chin and smiled smugly.

His words shook everyone present to the ground.

"Brother Su!"

Han Yu stood up and bowed his hand towards Su Yuanxiu.

"A genius like you has never been seen in eternity! The old man is completely admired today! The old man will do his best to support Brother Su unconditionally!" Han Yu arched his hand.

"It's the same down there." Ke gave up his hand.

"Master, you are truly a man of God!" Xiao Qiao saw the two big men stand up, and she also stood up and praised her.

"Harm, how do you think about the people? This is for the sake of the people." Su Yuanxiu said with a smile.

It's almost a copy of the routine of Plains City, but it just adds a little bit of his own opinion.

Su Yuanxiu felt that this was actually nothing.

If you really want to say that it is powerful, it has to be Su Xuan's kid.

Su Yuanxiu can be regarded as keeping up with Su Xuan's footsteps, and Su Xuan is the real pioneer at the forefront.

Such a method and such a development strategy were all thought up by Su Xuan.

And Su Yuanxiu also wants to verify whether his combination of ancient and modern can work.

Whether it is Han Yu or Ke Zhinan, and Su Yuanxiu are all the same kind of people.

Therefore, they will absolutely support Su Yuanxiu unconditionally.
