Although this type of book is not as popular as the live stream, red envelope stream, and heavenly court stream, it is relatively niche, grandma doesn't love uncle, and the editor is very cautious in recommending it, and the text is pushed in a month that doesn't hurt or itch, and the exposure rate is very low, but the support of all book friends makes me very happy, a heart-warming word, a hot recommendation ticket, and the satisfaction brought by it cannot be described in words. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Someone reads the words of their own code, and is willing to give an evaluation, for an inexperienced newcomer, it is a success. I have experienced the confusion period of opening a new book, and I have been troubled by the fact that there are too few recommendations, but now I have found the happiness of codewords again. Happy to add more, although the number of words added is limited, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, right? (Actually, it's mainly because the code word speed of the author's handwreckage is too slow, and it takes time to think about the plot~)

————————————————————————————————

In summer, the eyes of the south are bright, Siam, Annam is modern Thailand and Vietnam, the climate and rainfall in Southeast Asia are very suitable for the growth of rice, in ancient times, the low level of cultivation can be three crops a year, to the 21st century are the grain exporting countries, more grain, the price is naturally low.

Although sea trade can make a lot of money, but this is only a long-term plan, Fujian's Zheng Zhilong is a strong opponent that cannot be bypassed, and it is unrealistic to expect to support the purchase of grain through sea trade in a short period of time. However, Liu Quan's suggestion also opened up a new idea.

He asked everyone: "What Liu Quan said is not unreasonable, what do you think?" ”

Lin Weiye, Tan Shan and others nodded yes, this is a good way.

Sima De opened his mouth and said: "My lord, although the price of rice in Siam and Annam is low, it takes a long time to go back and forth, and so many people under the lord's command rely on this channel for food, I am afraid that it is not safe, if the sea encounters wind and waves, or is robbed by pirates, then the money and food will be empty." ”

Everyone felt that it was also true that buying food under the current sea conditions could not be guaranteed, and the risk was too great, whether it was wind and waves or pirates, it was a real threat. In this era, if you want to be a maritime businessman, you don't dare to go to sea without a thick net worth, and an accident is enough to go bankrupt.

Xia Nan reminded him, and also thought of these difficulties, he sighed and said, "Is there no other way?" ”

Sima De said with a smile: "The lord doesn't need to worry, buying grain from the sea can be used as a long-term plan, and the current grain has to fall in Qiongzhou Mansion." ”

"Oh, Mr. Sima, what is the best plan, come and hear it." Summer south comes spirit.

"In Zhejiang, where he was originally from, he also worked in Nanjing, so he is quite familiar with Jiangnan. The fields in the south of the Yangtze River have been forcibly seized by the wealthy family, and it is very common for a large family to have thousands of acres of fertile land, and most of these wealthy families have clansmen as officials, and even officials to the ministry, and the court has sheltered them, and the local government has also supported them, and they themselves support their families, and the power is so great that ordinary people cannot shake it. In addition to handing over the grain to the official treasury, most of the grain collected is in the granaries of these wealthy families, and once there is a natural or man-made disaster, they will hoard and sell grain at a high price, making a windfall. ”

Lin Weiye was puzzled: "Does this have anything to do with us getting grain from Qiongzhou Mansion?" ”

After Sima De voted for Xia Nan, he had a detailed understanding of his industry and the people around him, and knew that although Lin Weiye rarely cared about major matters, he had mastered a lot of "dragon slaying skills", and the muskets and artillery were created by him.

He bowed his hand to Lin Weiye and explained: "So that Master Lin can know that in such a situation in Jiangnan, it is even more difficult to get a large amount of food, but Qiongzhou is different." Although Qiongzhou also has a large household with hundreds of acres of land, it is not the same when it comes to the connections of the government and even the imperial court, as well as the power of the family. ”

Xia Nan vaguely guessed Sima De's intentions, and added: "Compared with the wealthy families in Jiangnan, the big families in Qiongzhou are at best some rural rich people. ”

Sima De praised: "The lord is quick-minded. My solution is actually very simple, since these landlords have no power, then there is no difficulty in solving them, and there is no future trouble, as long as we eradicate them, as long as we change the title deed, these borderless lands can become ours. Those tenants, to whom is the land not planted? In this way, the food problem will be solved! ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, they couldn't imagine that Si Swenwen, a scholar, acted so boldly and ruthlessly, the so-called "eradication" is probably killing people and destroying the door, right? However, this is a straightforward method, and it fundamentally solves the problem, rather than spending money thousands of miles to buy grain in the South Seas, it is better to grab the land and collect grain directly, and there is no risk of sea routes.

“…… Is this inhumane? After all, these big families didn't offend us......" Liu Quan stayed for a long time and held back a sentence.

Tan Shan held the opposite opinion: "If it is a big family like Master Hu, eradicating them is still eliminating harm for the people!" Before Master Xia came, whether it was the salt of Ma Yuan Village or the tenants under him, they were all miserable, when he knocked on the bone and sucked the marrow and squeezed us, did he ever think about the word humanity? ”

Sima De praised: "What the old village chief Tan said is very good, we are not indiscriminate, and we just pick and squeeze the inferior gentry who are powerful in the tenants. ”

"Hahaha, Mr. Sima said it well." Xia Nan fully understood what Sima De meant, and the key to solving the food problem really fell on Qiongzhou Mansion.

Liu Quan worried: "But it won't be appropriate to kill on a big scale, after all, the master is doing big things, not bandits, just grab it and run." Qiongzhou will be the foundation of the master in the future! He knew that Xia Nan's vision was not just Lingao or even Qiongzhou, with such a powerful firearm, he would not be satisfied with being a big bandit in Qiongzhou. The killing is too heavy, and it is bound to be social unrest, and this is not what Xia Nan wants to see.

Xia Nan and Sima De looked at each other and smiled, he shook his fingers, "You can't make a big deal by killing and robbing, of course I know this." Since I want to accomplish something, Qiongzhou is the place where I started, so naturally I can't ruin my reputation. This wicked person, naturally someone will do it, I just have to clean up the situation. I believe that Mr. Sima must have thought of this when he proposed this method. ”

Sima De nodded and pointed at Huang Mengjia: "This wicked person can only be done by Lord Huang Dong." The lord only needs to follow behind to pick the fruit. ”

Everyone suddenly realized. Just like the trick of attacking Lingao County, Huang Mengjia led the Li people to attack the city, and Xia Nan led the escort team to "rescue", this killing and seizing the land is just a different version: the Li people rioted, robbed the big households, and killed the landlord, all the fields became borderless, and Xia Nan could eat these fields in a grand manner, and he didn't have to bear the notoriety.

Huang Mengjia is a lawless character, asking him to rob big families, there is no psychological pressure at all, and he doesn't need any reputation.

Although Lin Weiye felt that this method was too bloody, the target was the landlord Lao Cai, and the education he received since childhood made him regard the landlord Lao Cai as a negative example of the feudal society oppressing the peasants. just said to Xia Nan: "Don't follow those landlords, don't let the tenants get out of the tiger pit and enter the wolf's den, don't be too ruthless in exploitation." ”

Xia Nan nodded and said: "Squeezing the peasants is the work of people who have no ability, I can exempt them from the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and only keep the normal rent, so as to ensure that we can get enough food, and they can support their families, so as to achieve a win-win situation." ”

Tan Shan asked with a lot of mouth: "How can you pay to the government if you are exempted from the apportioned taxes?" ”

Not to mention Xia Nan and Sima De, even Huang Mengjia knows how to answer: "The master will have to fight with the government sooner or later, and if he wants to collect grain and taxes, he will take it himself, but first ask if our swords and guns will agree!" ”

Everyone laughed heartily, and Tan Shan laughed embarrassedly. None of them thought deeply about the nature of being an enemy of the government and the imperial court, and they all felt that it was a normal thing.

Xia Nan watched coldly, everyone looked natural, it seemed that people's hearts were profit-oriented, and even honest people like Tan Shan didn't think it was a big deal to go against the government. The real benefits, coupled with the expansion of strength, the people in this system have been both prosperous and lossy with themselves.
