Wei Baolang said, "The momentum of Jin Shang is very strong, and it is not a day or two, but this is nothing!" If the money bank of our Heaven and Earth Society wants to rise, it is natural to fight with them! Now that we have the name of the Governor of Haiphong, we are officials, they are the people, we must remember this article and make good use of it! That's the point. Today, everyone will express their opinions and talk about how to solve these problems as soon as possible. Steward Song is right, collecting tax and silver is the key, let's not be busy thinking about how to expand business in various places, let's talk about tax collection and silver first. ”

"I discussed it with the stewards roughly, and there are only three ways, heavy! Light! Either the golden mean. Song Yingxing said.

Wei Bao's eyes lit up with interest, the role of the team is here, there is no need to let himself think about everything, and the ideas he comes up with are not necessarily the best, Wei Bao is more willing to make a bunch of options for him to choose!

"Let's talk about it." Wei Bao made a gesture of invitation to Song Yingxing.

"The most important thing is that the officials and soldiers are dispatched, and whoever does not pay taxes will seize the land and put it up for auction! Anyway, the announcement has already been issued, and they all know the new regulations of the Governor of Haiphong, Yamen, and now they just want to pretend to be deaf and dumb! Moreover, the president has already reorganized the armies in various parts of Shandong, and the military power is in the hands of the president, are you still afraid that their necks are harder than knives? Song Yingxing said.

Many stewards nodded their heads, apparently in the majority.

But there is also a small number of stewards who have no expression, and that is the person who disagrees with this view.

Wei Bao is actually in favor of being arrogant, after all, the situation is very urgent, as long as he can get the silver, stabilize the Shandong market as soon as possible, and have land and silver, he can solve the problem of food shortage as soon as possible, and he can buy a large amount of grain and other urgently needed items from the south, such as cotton cloth!

"Don't stop, go on." Wei Bao urged.

"It is better to send more people to persuade them, or let those landlords take the initiative to pay taxes, after all, we have to take root here for a long time, and we can't force the local big families to be anxious, if they join forces to rebel, there will be a big incident!" Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Denglai and Shandong are the gateways of Gyeonggi, and the movement is too big, and the capital will know in a few days! The golden mean is to do the work of small landlords while seizing a group of stubborn thorns and the most stubborn big households. Song Yingxing said.

Some of the people who did not express their stance just now are in favor of a lighter approach.

"President, changing the tax system is not something that can be done overnight, if the landlords are provoked to flee with their families and go to other places to make trouble, and then contact the big households in the south and north to join forces to make trouble against the adults, forming a big mess on the scale of the entire Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the governor of Haiphong Yamen and the president will be in trouble."

"There is really no golden mean in this matter, either they are all sealed, or they are slowly persuaded, there are few people who dare to come out, but it is about silver, who is willing to take the initiative to hand over the silver?"

The stewards discussed word by word.

In the end, everyone waited for Wei Bao to come up with an idea, Wei Bao was very confused, and he also thought that the commotion was too big, what would happen if the landlord class in Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Denglai and Shandong were uprooted?

Then it is not a reform of the capitalist system, nor the abolition of feudalism, but a proletarian revolution.

The landlords not only mastered the land, but also the power and the hearts of the people of this era!

Wei Bao came up step by step from the bottom of Liaoxi, and he knew very well the role of the chief and the lizheng, these feudal patriarchal figures, everyone had a very heavy handle and authority in the township.

Not only can they run themselves, but they can also incite people to run, and the rest of the land will be distributed to the people, whose land will belong in the future?

If they are all regarded as the Yamen of the Governor of Haiphong, it is equivalent to the imperial court, and with such a corrupt government as the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian will be able to let people take over all of them and sell them all, and when the time comes, won't he become a wedding dress for others?

In Weijiazhuang, the law can be successfully changed, because Weijiazhuang is a small area after all, and after being isolated from the world, it is basically not controlled by Shanhaiguan, and it is far away from the Ming Dynasty and the Tiangao Emperor, so it can be successful.

And the same is true of the two provinces of Liaonan and Korea, which were only started without the supervision of the Ming court.

But Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Denglai and Shandong can't do it, you can't build the city in such a large area and isolate it from the outside world, right?

Wei Bao was mainly afraid of coming up with chaos, and when the peasant uprising did not come out, he himself would first provoke the landlords in a large area, and it would be troublesome to set up a warlord separatist organization.

It's not impossible.

Wei Bao knows the landlords very well, and these people may not be able to fight against foreign enemies, and they are all very powerful.

You can quickly form a warlord organization that is very smart, very cheap, and a hero of the times.

As far as the situation in Liaodong is concerned, Wei Bao is the clearest, that is, a warlord organization with warlord attributes.

First of all, the gate is more or less connected with the high-level of the wild boar skin, after all, the banner man was a rebel at the beginning. In the early days, the equipment of ordinary soldiers was too poor, and the well-equipped family only played the role of driving sheep, and the high-level of Liaodong was too light on the enemy, and the generals did not go all out.

Then after the battle of Sarhu, the Tartars began to arm, leading the Liaodong army locally, wearing heavy armor and archery and riding the war horse of the Horqin steppe to charge, while the knives, guns, and arrows of the Liaodong border army could not penetrate the enemy's armor.

After Nurhachi captured Shenyang, with a large number of cannons and craftsmen, the Manchus almost had a comprehensive lead over the local military forces in eastern Liaodong under field conditions.

In the civil forces of Liaodong, the infighting between the officials of the Donglin Party and other parties, and the non-fighting of the indigenous generals, the most elite army in the country was almost completely buried.

What Qi family army, Sichuan army, Guangxi wolf soldiers, a lot of them, to put it bluntly, in Wei Bao's opinion, they are all warlord attributes.

It's just that the power of the imperial court has been greatly reduced, but the central government still exists, and the balance has not been completely broken.

Therefore, Wei Bao will feel that he can't push everything on Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian, a eunuch with little culture, can play this situation, it is not easy.

The Ming government had no choice, and increased the power of the Liaodong generals with the strategy of the Liao people guarding the Liao territory.

Wei Bao knew that with the development of the historical process, with the complete dominance of the Donglin Party.

Then Lao Yuan killed Mao Wenlong, and said what the crime of the handsome man was, and why the Qing Dynasty killed the group of drifting, cheap purchases, and superior Shandong clans in Shandong, and of course, innocent people.

After that, a group of landlords who became traitors made them completely ahead of the Ming army in Tartar military equipment. The sound of artillery gave the fortress tactics a complete defeat.

Lao Yuan's death completely shattered the balance in the Northeast, Liaodong Jiangmen completely became a warlord, and the imperial court became an ATM.

The gateway to northern Hebei was wide open, and Shanhaiguan was of little use, and the imperial court did not halve the silver.

It shows that the civilian forces and the Liaodong warlords are in cahoots, and the Liaodong warlords already have the ability to admonish each other.

Then, the Liaodong warlords, who only had the ability to defend the mountain pass and beat the exiles, surrendered.

The combat power of ordinary Liaodong soldiers can be reflected in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and there is still something about that group of goods fighting.

There is really no hero at the time, making the shaft famous.

Wei Bao knew that the strength of Zu Dashou's Northeast Army was actually very strong, and it was all caused by money, who let the Ming court be hollowed out by corruption, and it has been raised, and the slaves are fine, and the displaced people are fine, in the final analysis, it is the money that is to blame.

Then, the ordinary soldiers were too poorly equipped and too poorly trained, and the generals were reluctant to fight to the death, and seriously underestimated the enemy, causing the Tartars to become bigger.

Before Shenyang was lost, the Ming army still had a great advantage, and the internal fighting and blind command of the civilian group, the conflict between the indigenous and guest armies, and the later dispatch of elites to the interior to quell the rebellion led to serious internal friction in the army.

Liaoxi is too small, has too few resources, and is too close to the capital to make warlords who fix millions of taels of silver every year, and sometimes even get no silver for a year or two, have the conditions to divide their territory and go to Zhuolu to the world.

The landlords of Hejian Prefecture, Cangzhou Prefecture, Denglai Prefecture and Shandong Province were different, and they had the conditions to gather together to form a separatist force.

Once they feel that the treasure army is cutting off their way of life, they will definitely run around and merge and do things.

No matter how much the Bao army can fight, there is no way to suppress bandits everywhere all day long, and when the time comes, Shandong will completely become a training ground for Xiangma, and the Bao army will not have to do anything, and will completely fall into the quagmire of suppressing bandits.

At that time, without Wei Zhongxian looking for someone to replace him, he would not be able to stay in this part of Shandong, let alone use the resources of Guannai to support the construction of Weijiazhuang and southern Liaoning.

Wu Sanfu saw that Wei Bao didn't speak, so he said: "President, I don't think we can be afraid of wolves and tigers, we have soldiers in our hands, whoever disobeys will fight whoever is not satisfied, and whoever disobeys will be killed, kill until they are afraid, the common people are on our side, and the common people who can't afford to buy land can lend land to the people in the name of the Governor of Haiphong, Yamen!" ”

Wei Bao glanced at Wu Sanfu funny, not to mention, Wu Sanfu is really a bit like a reformer, if he is put in the future, he can be a pioneer of the reformers.

"I'm also in favor of the use of heavy codes in troubled times! Our reform of the tax system is to deprive many large landlords of their interests, but as long as there is land and people to work, even if more than half of the silver in their hands is taken away, it is better than the life of ordinary people! As long as they understand this, I don't believe that they are willing to abandon their families and businesses to go out to be horses! Even if they are all ringing horses, they will be killed! Will be outside the king's life will not be affected, President! Song Yingxing also rarely put forward his views directly.

Wei Bao can understand people like Song Yingxing, who have failed the scientific examination for a long time, and are a group of people who have a grudge against the corruption and various policies of the imperial court, and have a strong sign of supporting the reformers.

And Wu Sanfu is different, Wu Sanfu is the young master of the extra-large landlord's family, and he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, Wu Sanfu mainly didn't think too much, he was eager to stabilize the situation, eager to make meritorious service in front of himself, eager to make meritorious service in front of his sister, and win a face-saving problem.

For other people who disagree with such radicalism, Wei Bao can also understand, these people can't be said to be wrong, or selfish or something, everyone is also for the good of heaven and earth, and they don't want Wei Bao and heaven and earth to be enemies of the world.

"If we force all the landlords to be anxious, will the common people automatically stand on our side?" The chief steward of Haiphong Qianzhuang in Hejian Mansion rarely spoke, "President, the three platforms and five constants are the foundation of the people of the Ming Dynasty, these landowners are either the chief of the first month, or the patriarch of all ethnic groups, who originally led them, once these people are forced to be urgent, not necessarily the people will be able to trust us, when the time comes, it is very likely to cause a large-scale escape, people have fled, we not only have to keep suppressing bandits, but also face the situation that no one farms, when the time comes, who will collect taxes?" ”

Hearing what the chief steward of Haiphong Qianzhuang in Hejian Province said, a small number of stewards who did not approve of being too radical nodded again and again.

Wei Bao knew that there would be no result in talking like this, so he stood up decisively and said: "Any restructuring will shed blood, this is unavoidable, I ask you for silver, can you give it to me?" Heaven and Earth will continue to change the concept of human rule, and we must routinely implement the legal system! Rule the land by the law! If we don't follow the rules and standards of our Heaven and Earth Society, we will let him be completely wiped out! I want to see how capable these landlords are, and how many common people are willing to follow them as ringing horses! From today onwards, all the Haiphong money banks will take the lead, and you will join forces with the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate that I have sent to various places to replace the yamen in various places! First explain the policy clearly to the landlords in various places, and if you don't listen to the dictatorship, you should arrest it immediately! Now we are doing a text check, and there are still many landlords who have not been put home! This is the best opportunity! ”

Everyone was excited when they heard President Wei's speech, and President Wei was in favor of using heavy methods to solve the restructuring matter.

The chief steward of Haiphong Qianzhuang in Hejian Mansion nodded, and said worriedly: "Since the president has thought about it, we should follow it, but, president, have you ever thought that this may kill hundreds of thousands of people!" It will definitely not be closed. ”

"No, the previous practice of the madman Tan to reorganize the army can be used as a reference, if you don't accept it, you will be arrested, all of them will be distributed, and they will all be sent to southern Liaoning to open up the wasteland, how many people will send how many people over, we will not kill them, it will be stained with too much blood, and it will also affect the good fortune." Wei Bao said coldly: "The situation in the Ming Dynasty is sinister now, there are Jiannu outside the border, the people in the mainland are not happy, corrupt officials are rampant, landlords and bullies are extremely vicious, and human life is like mustard!" They looted the people's fat and ointment, knocked out the bones and sucked the marrow, and the world was starving! We can't swallow slowly, anyway, with Weijiazhuang and Liaonan behind us, if we lose, it's a big deal to go back! ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and even Wu Xuexia and Princess Zhenming looked at Wei Bao in surprise, this is the first time Wei Bao has said such things in public, this is a little discouraged. They all knew that Wei Bao was cheering everyone up, saying a way out, so that everyone could let go and do it.

Obviously, President Wei is also very unsure now, so he will say this.

"Yes, at this critical moment, we can't look ahead and backward, look left and right, a hundred years of great cause waiting for us to open up!" Song Yingxing raised his fist and said: "We swear to the death to gather our will and defend the president!" Swear to be loyal to the Heaven and Earth Society! ”

"Gather your will to defend the president! Swear to be loyal to the Heaven and Earth Society! This is the slogan that everyone is used to shouting when they are in Weijiazhuang and southern Liaoning, and once it is mentioned at this time, everyone immediately gets up and waving their arms high, and they all feel their blood boiling.

Wu Sanfu, Wu Xuexia, and Princess Zhenming also shouted.

Although emotionally, there are still a little entanglements, but Princess Zhenming has completely regarded herself as the president's person and the person of the Heaven and Earth Society.

The Heaven and Earth Society seems to have a kind of magical power, and once this huge organization enters, it can steadily gather people's hearts and gather all the forces around them.

Wei Bao was very satisfied with everyone's attitude, pressed his hand, and continued: "Wealth is like a floating cloud to me, everyone must remember that the purpose of our Heaven and Earth Association is to improve people's livelihood and let everyone in the world have food and clothing!" Eradicate all inequality in the world! Fight for the liberation of all mankind! ”

"Struggle for the liberation of all mankind!" The crowd shouted in unison again.

In the past, everyone would not dare to do this, but this is the political envoy in Jinan City.

I don't dare to shout here, where else dare to shout?

Even the guards with the president shouted together when they stood outside the door.

Wu Sanfu, who shouted directly, felt that his scalp was numb.

Although Wu Sanfu has been educated, he probably knows the rules and regulations of the Heaven and Earth Society, and knows the purpose of the Heaven and Earth Society, but after all, he has not been a member of the Association for a long time.

It's also rare to be exposed to such exhilarating team moments.

Wu Sanfu glanced at Wu Xuexia.
