Chapter 181: Clan Council (3)
The most basic criterion for the so-called strong country is to make the people rich, and if the people are not rich, how can the country be strong.
The Xiling Tang Clan is so strong, why can it only huddle in the small Xiling place, it is simply because there are not enough martial artists, or in other words, with the current number of high-level martial artists in the Tang Clan, the martial arts hall has hundreds of mortal realm peaks and dozens of mortal realm martial artists every year.
Therefore, the sect masters are suffering from having no one at their hands and are unable to display their ambitions, after all, the family heads sometimes have to be used as warriors, so how can they talk about development.
And this five-acre field order is the foundation that makes Xiling strong.
The people sitting on the clan council are the real leaders of the Tang clan, but their thinking is limited, and they always feel that only the surname Tang is the Tang family, and the appearance of the Wancheng treasure ship has even bred the bad atmosphere of the Tang clan, and they feel that the one who is robbed and has no worries is the best.
The force of force makes them ignore the role of the common people, or in the eyes of this group, the civilians are just climbing on vines in big trees, not worth mentioning.
"If you rule according to your decree, Xiling will indeed have a population of 10 million in a few generations, how will my Tang clan deal with myself at that time?" Second Elder Tang Hongjun had read Tang Luo's letter, and he also knew that this was an edict that benefited the people, but among the people who benefited from it, the Tang Clan did not get a little sweetness!
The low tax means that the Tang family's income is declining, which makes the Tang family lose hundreds of millions of gold every year, if it is recorded in one generation and twenty years, then the Tang family will be nearly 10 billion less, and the loss of one entry and one exit is as high as 20 billion!
And what's even more terrifying is that when the population of Xiling really swells to 10 million, the Tang clan can still be easily controlled in a short period of time, because with the current number of sect masters of the Tang clan, let alone 10 million people, even 20 million people can easily digest it.
But what about three generations later? Under the huge population base, there will always be some geniuses who stand out, if there are more than 100 fierce realm powerhouses in Xiling, it is difficult to say whether the Tang clan can easily handle it.
So he felt that Tang Luo's five-acre field order was inappropriate.
The words of the second elder reached the hearts of everyone, the five acres of land and the population of tens of millions in Xiling are beautiful, but they can't see the benefits brought by this decree for a while, let alone the hidden dangers left after a few generations.
Tang Luo smiled freely and replied: "If you govern according to this order, my Tang clan should sit back and relax after three generations!"
"Ridiculous!" Tang Gaomin said in a loud voice: "Keep warm and think **, strong and strong to breed greed and hatred, if you give this group of civilians favorable conditions, it is like raising jackals on the side of the couch, when the lord is weak, it will bite your throat, how can your law make my Tang clan safe and sound!?"
"Poor ** plan, rich conscience!" Tang Luo's eyes froze, and he responded calmly: "Please think about it carefully, how good can a mere person and five acres of land be, it is nothing more than warmth! As for raising jackals, if my Tang clan is already weak enough to be overtaken by a group of civilians who have practiced martial arts for less than a hundred years, then such a family will not be overthrown, and it is natural that it will be destroyed!"
These words shocked Tang Gaomin's heart, and he stopped making a sound, just like he said, if even a group of civilians who had just started practicing martial arts could not be controlled, this kind of family should be destroyed.
You must know that the combat effectiveness of the clan warriors is several times that of the same realm and the wandering warriors, after all, geniuses are very few, and it is the proper duty of the family to maintain a large area of leadership.
"But the effect of this decree is too slow, it will take a whole generation!" Tang Qi took this bill, a little tempted, because he had already seen that if this decree was implemented, the greatest benefit in the future would be the sect masters, and they should fully support it, because this is equivalent to the anger of the clan to reserve martial artists, but this decree will inevitably take a little too long.
Because in his opinion, before the population of Xiling skyrocketed, this decree only paid but did not reap.
"The biggest benefit of abolishing the ban on farming and replacing it with a five-acre field order is not that the population of Xiling has skyrocketed. Tang Luo smiled and replied, "It's the people's heart!"
"Although our Tang clan is friendly to various clans, it has always had little effect, and the reason is very simple, these families built with the family as the core are fundamentally for the sake of family profits, although settling in Xiling on the surface is to strengthen the momentum of my Xiling, but the purpose will not change. If you want to talk about the jackals on the side of the couch, these clans are. ”
"But after those civilians have a field property, isn't it the prototype of a family to cultivate their children to become warriors?" Tang Qi was very unimpressed by the words of the people's hearts, because he didn't think that the invisible and untouchable things could be of any use to the family, but Tang Luo's clan threat theory was very useful to him, but thinking of the five-acre field order he was going to promulgate, wasn't this the means of cultivating the family.
"The clan is not the same as these commoners who will get the land. Tang Luo said lightly: "Even if this group of civilians grows into a family, they are also a family that has grown up in accordance with my Tang clan's decrees, and they have a congenital concept of obedience to the Tang clan's orders. ”
People don't offend me, I don't offend people, this is the admonition of a good family, but it is not the family style of the clan, why is it strong and strong, why do you study martial arts, is it just for self-preservation? Judging from the current development of martial arts, in the future, not only a wealthy family like the Tang clan will have to fight, but even that group of holy lands will have to fight.
Therefore, he gave food and clothing to the people, and led the people back to repay the service, which is very fair.
But even so, Tang Gaomin still shook his head and said: "Is this paper order feasible to put aside, I just ask where did Tang Shili come from?"
He didn't care how many martial artists there would be in Xiling, he only knew that as soon as this decree came out, the Tang clan would lose a big entry, and if it couldn't make up for it, it would be a deficit of clan money, and he couldn't support this decree.
Tang Luo looked around the long table and said lightly: "Actually, the Tang family doesn't lack money at all." ”
"Only by turning money into real force is the way to strengthen the clan. You don't see how high-spirited the Yun family, who was once rich in the world, was so high-spirited, and it was destroyed in just one month. ”
Longzhou Chaochang once had the Yun family, the rich world Yun family is the only one in the world, the Yun family has been doing business for generations, seven out of ten legendary merchants in Longzhou are from the Yun family, according to legend, when the Yun family is the richest, you can build a city with gold.
It is such a legendary merchant family, which was completely uprooted within a month, which is embarrassing, and the root cause is that there is no money but no corresponding force, which is really the way to die!
It is useless to make good friends with martial artists, because others want to destroy your family, but they will not notify you in advance to prepare, and by the time the group of warriors who have an old relationship with the Yun clan arrived in Chaochang, this merchant city has turned into a sea of fire, and all the men of the Yun clan are lying in a pool of blood.
