With a brisk smile on his face, Tang Zhi asked Tang Luo, "Sect Elder, please speak." ”

Above the council, there is only an identity, no name, so he calls Tang Luo the patriarch.

Tang Luo took a deep breath, took out a stack of papers from his arms, and said loudly: "This is my proposal today, please take a look at it first." ”

He summoned a samurai from the law firm and distributed the papers to everyone's desk.

Tang Cunfu snorted coldly and took the bill, he didn't believe that this kid could have anything serious, he had already decided that this act of grabbing the bill was instigated by Tang Zhi, it was difficult for Xiling Tianjiao to be a wise person, and it was really regrettable that he was used as a gun.

Looking at the paper in his hand, the fly's head was densely written, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and finally he couldn't help but raise his voice: "It's ridiculous, you want to abolish this ban on farming!?"

He felt that Tang Luo was pushed out by Tang Zhi to make trouble, and he didn't have any expectations for this bill, as long as it wasn't funny, he never thought that this Xiling Tianjiao was really a hit, and he wanted to move the rules of these hundreds of years.

Tang Luo put his hands behind his back, glanced at Tang Cunfu, and said calmly: "Don't panic on behalf of Cunfu, after everyone reads it, I will slowly explain my proposal, but now please don't make noise to others." ”

Tang Cunfu's face was a little ruddy for a moment, and he was accused by a junior in front of him that he couldn't get off the stage, and set his eyes on Zongzheng, who was the most important etiquette, but found that the other party looked at the proposal with a look of indifference.

Tang Cunfu, who had a plan in his heart, suppressed his anger and looked at the proposal in his hand carefully, just looking at his hideous expression, he could think of how he would be in trouble after a while.

After a long time, everyone finally saw the bill written on the paper clearly, abolishing the ban on farming and replacing it with a five-acre field order.

The people of Xiling Beicheng are allowed to reclaim wasteland, with a limit of five acres per person.

"You can see it clearly, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask them. Tang Luo asked towards everyone.

As a new decree, there are two steps that cannot be skipped: one is whether it is feasible and the other is how to amend it to order the people.

As the most critical first step, the proposer has to answer the questions of this group of Xiling authorities, and finally through a vote of the people, the law department must be implemented before a government decree proposal can be completed.

Except for the thirteen elders and the fifteen people of Zongzheng and the mountain chief, the rest of the people had never seen this proposal, so they naturally had a lot of questions.

"May I ask Elder Zong, the ban on cultivation has been in Xiling for hundreds of years, and my Tang Mi and my two clans have reclaimed the wasteland for the livelihood, which is not only related to the stability of Xiling, but also can bring huge income to the Tang clan.

There will be such a question as early as Tang Luo's calculation, he said to Tang Gaomin: "This entry is made up by Tian Fu, there are nearly 1.5 million people in the north of Xiling City, and after removing 100,000 clans, there will be a total of 1.4 million civilians, and there will be 300,000 households." If each household opens five acres of land, it is 1.5 million mu of fertile land, and each mu is given 10 gold per year, which is 15 million gold. ”

"It's not proper!" Tang Gaomin shook his head and said: "With the current price of grain in Xiling, my Tang clan's annual income should be hundreds of millions of gold, and it is really unwise for the sect elder to make up for it with a mere fifteen million gold." ”

As one of the elders in charge of finance, how could he not include taxes, not to mention that the land tax is too low, just to say that with the current price of grain in Xiling, the Tang family is less than hundreds of millions of gold every year, how can he accept this huge gap that comes and goes.

When everyone heard Tang Gaomin's words, they also nodded their heads, and they all felt that it was not a cost-effective business to exchange stable input for talent.

Tang Luo took in everyone's expressions, looked at Tang Cunfu with a smile, and asked, "May I ask the representative, what is the most needed thing for the Tang clan now?"

Suddenly, he made Tang Gaomin feel disrespected, and he frowned and was about to attack, but an elder beside him grabbed his arm and gave him a look of observance.

Tang Cunfu didn't expect Tang Luo to ask himself, but his sea of qi did not disappear, how could he give the other party a good face, so he said bluntly: "Naturally, the force is insufficient, and the martial artists cultivated by the martial arts hall are not enough at all." ”

This is also the biggest drawback of the Tang family after the dispersion, the warriors are difficult to recruit, basically the warriors who can walk on the streets of Xiling are all family warriors, and occasionally a lone ownerless wandering warrior is found, which makes the sect master as happy as picking up a treasure.

Tang Luo chuckled and said: "Have you heard, now the Tang Clan's sect has more than two hundred, and there are only more than four hundred martial artists cultivated in the battle hall every year, and many of them are cannon fodder, just because there is no one available in the sect." ”

"What does this have to do with your five-acre field order?" Tang Gaomin said in a loud voice.

Tang Luo looked around the long table with fixed eyes, and said word by word: "If you don't give enough food to the civilians, how can they practice martial arts!?"

"The price of grain in Xiling is low, they can work to earn money, save money to go to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts, are the dozens of martial arts halls set up by my Tang clan fake?" Tang Gaomin didn't like Tang Luo's sharpness, and replied with a calm face.

Tang Luo tugged at the corners of his mouth disdainfully, and said lightly: "An ordinary person, how can he still have the heart to practice martial arts after working for a day, not to mention firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, which does not need money, maybe for you, it is just a few years of full-time martial arts training, and for that group of civilians, how can a family of full-time martial arts practice live, isn't it too naïve for you to say such a thing as a clan elder!"

Tang Gaomin's eyes widened, and just as he was about to reply, he heard Tang Zhi say lightly: "But what does this have to do with your new decree?"

Everyone nodded one after another, even if civilians need to make money and can't practice martial arts, but after the new decree is issued, he still can't practice martial arts.

"As soon as this decree is promulgated, in order to cultivate more arable land, the people must be diligent in giving birth, and after a generation, there will be tens of millions of people in Xiling. Tang Luo said lightly.

The people will have a surplus of land and property, and they will naturally send one of their children to practice martial arts, and learn to become a martial artist is not to sell it to the emperor's family, and when the time comes, this group of warriors will still be used by the Tang clan.

When the people are rich, the country is strong. The Tang clan is located in Xiling, with a population of more than one million under its rule, in fact, it has reached the scale of some small countries, but the model of the family is still shackled by the thinking of this group of people in power, and they are very separated from other people, this idea is not wrong, but the problem now is that with the development of the Tang clan in the past thirty generations, there have been so many sub-sect masters, which of these clans does not have the ability to dominate one side, but they are limited by force, and can only huddle in a small Xiling.

And after the ban on cultivation was opened, a large enough population base and warriors could appear in Xiling, and these suzerains could choose, and the most important thing was - low taxes!
