Chapter 1273 Land
"Celestial teaching?"
Li Gang looked at Sun Lei, although he told him in his heart that this was nonsense, but subconsciously he thought it was very possible, because Sun Lei was very "weird" regardless of his style or habits, and he felt out of place in this world.
"What? Unbelief? ”
Sun Lei looked at Li Gang and asked.
"If I believe it, I'm stupid!"
Li Gang said.
"Don't believe it, brothers, do you believe it or not?"
Sun Lei asked the people around him.
"Faith! Your Majesty is the heavens and knows everything! ”
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng shouted in unison, and the rest of the soldiers also shouted.
"Look at it, it's you who don't know gold and jade!"
Sun Lei looked at Li Gang and said.
"You just said plundering money, minerals, land? And what about the population? ”
Li Gang was reluctant to discuss those illusory things with Sun Lei, and directly asked the question in Sun Lei's words just now, Sun Lei only said that he would send troops out to plunder, for a country, population, money, land, and minerals are the most important, but Sun Lei only said the last three things.
"Population? I don't want this thing, so naturally I'm going to kill it. ”
Sun Lei said.
"Killed?"
Li Gang looked at Sun Lei with wide eyes, he didn't believe that these cold-blooded and cruel words were said by Sun Lei, Sun Lei has never killed innocents.
"Of course you killed, and you still expect me to educate them and assimilate them? How can I have hundreds of years? ”
Sun Lei spread his hands, after the world is calm, he is going to start enjoying life, he doesn't want to take care of this mess in Middle Earth, and he still cares about foreign barbarians? He's not a of a virgin!
"You can take your time, educate from generation to generation, there is no need to kill! You can't stand such a killing! ”
Li Gang hurriedly persuaded, he didn't know how many people were outside the territory, but he just guessed that there were definitely a lot, how many would he kill if he killed them all?
"I didn't see you being so selfish! Problems that none of our generation can solve are left to the next generation? You're shirking responsibility! ”
Sun Lei looked at Li Gang and said, Li Gang can be regarded as a smart person, but he is such a person and so pedantic, no wonder the feudal dynasty has made slow progress for thousands of years.
"I'm here for your reputation, you really want to kill like this, your brutal name will surpass the emperors of the past dynasties and become the first tyrant of the ages!"
Li Gang was not afraid of Sun Lei, and said directly.
"The First Tyrant of the Ages? That's not a bad title either! ”
Sun Lei touched his chin and laughed, he didn't care what kind of tyrant he was.
"You...... You don't even want a reputation? ”
Li Gang couldn't believe his ears, since ancient times, what kings care about most is reputation, everyone wants to leave a reputation of holiness and benevolence, but Sun Lei is quite the first tyrant of the ages.
"Fame? I'm a bandit, what else can I have a good reputation? ”
Sun Lei looked at Li Gang and asked.
The corners of Li Gang's mouth trembled slightly, and then he realized that Sun Lei was different from the emperors of the previous dynasties, and the lowest born among the previous emperors was Han Gaozu, but that was also a pavilion chief, and the rest were all princes and generals, and Sun Lei was directly born as a bandit.
"What good reputation do you expect from a bandit-turned-emperor? Since there isn't, it's not bad to be a tyrant, it's better than being a dumb king, right? At least I did the good thing, and the people benefited! ”
Sun Lei said.
"What do you want so much land for? The Central Plains is so big that it can't satisfy you? ”
Li Gang still wanted to persuade.
"A woman's opinion!"
Sun Lei's words were even worse this time, and directly beat Li Gang into the women's pile, in traditional culture, women and ignorance are equated.
"I heard that you are from a family of eunuchs?"
Sun Lei looked at Li Gang and asked.
"The ancestor is an official of the Fujian State."
Li Gang did not shy away from replying that his fifth ancestor was an official of the Southern Min State during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
"The family of the eunuch for more than 200 years has a lot of property, right?"
Sun Lei looked at Li Gang and continued to ask.
"The family property is all accumulated by the hard work of our ancestors! The money is clean! ”
Li Gang said rhetorically.
"I don't care if your property is clean or not, or how much money your family has, let me ask you, how many fields does your family have? Thousands of acres? Tens of thousands of acres? ”
Sun Lei looked at Li Gang and asked.
"There is ......"
Li Gang's lips curled and he couldn't speak.
"You don't know, do you, let me tell you, your family has a total of 100,000 acres of land. What do you want so many fields for? Farming after resignation? Are you old enough to pick up a hoe? Isn't it just thinking that if you have a share of the land, your children and grandchildren will be rich for ten thousand years by collecting rent! ”
Sun Lei looked at Li Gang and said, Li Gang himself is not greedy, but such a big family is rich, and there is naturally a lot of land.
"100,000 acres?"
Li Gang was shocked, he really didn't expect that there were so many, he hadn't been back to his hometown for many years.
"It's okay, I'll confiscate it for you!"
Sun Lei waved his hand.
"This is true not only of you, but of all those who have some money, whether they are clean or corrupt, whether they are businessmen or very rich, and even the peddlers who do business. You all like to buy a field of property, and you think that if you have a land, you will have a way out, and even if you are in the middle of the road, you will not starve to death. ”
Sun Lei said.
"No one is exempt from human nature!"
Li Gang quickly figured it out, even Zhuge Liang left 800 mulberry trees and 15 acres of thin fields for his children and grandchildren in Chengdu to ensure that his children had food and clothing, and they had their own spare sparies.
"Yes, human nature, work hard for a lifetime, after a hundred years, you have to leave something for future generations, and the land is the most secure."
Sun Lei nodded.
"Do you think the world is peaceful, the people have enough food and clothing, and the people of the country are safe?"
Sun Lei asked as soon as he spoke.
"It's a lifelong volunteer!"
Li Gang said without hesitation.
"Back to the previous question, if the world is peaceful, the people have no worries about food and clothing, and live and work in peace and contentment, the population will definitely grow rapidly, right? Five or six children in a normal family are no problem, right? ”
Sun Lei looked at Li Gang and asked.
"If there is no war calamity, it will be so!"
Li Gang nodded, if there is no disaster, it is normal for a family to have five or six children, and Sun Lei's Qi State has also exempted the poll tax, and the fields are distributed according to the capitation, and the people are even more willing to have children, and it is not for nothing that there are ten more.
"The couple had six children! The population of the first generation has tripled, the second generation has increased by 9 times, and the third generation has ......, and you are now in your forties. Is there enough land in the Central Plains? ”
"You are a smart person, there is a limit to the output of the land, the population is constantly increasing, and the land cannot support so many people. Then the problem arises, only by using war to reduce the population, those who survive will have fields. ”
Sun Lei gave Li Gang a simple example.
"So you're going to fight the land outside the territory?"
Li Gang looked at Sun Lei suddenly, and at this moment, Sun Lei's image in his eyes suddenly became taller, like a towering mountain, which made him afraid from the bottom of his heart.
