724 Guangzhou Conference (3)

The negotiation with these clan leaders and the local Han people is just the beginning, and Suning can also see it, no matter what, no matter how attractive his conditions are, if Feng Ang is not satisfied, then it will definitely cause some not very good things, even if he can use his own interests Sometimes these tribes and Han lords all cooperate with him, but this is unstable, the Feng family's roots here are too deep, not to mention whether those interests can break the bonds between them, it is to destroy the Feng family, Then the ensuing power vacuum in Lingnan will lead to bloodshed.

Suning doesn't want to die anymore, the Three Kingdoms, the Five Hu Chaos, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Hou Jing Rebellion, the Sui Dynasty Rebellion, the Han people's blood has been shed enough, from the peak of 50 million people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it seems that God intends not to let the Han people continue to prosper, until the Song Dynasty, the 50 million population was surpassed and maintained, and the 50 million population, relative to this land, is too little.

The number of Han people is not much, these years of recuperation, the number of Han people has gradually increased, but to say that compared with the surrounding Hu people, at most it is flat, and the Hu people in the north are different, most of the Yi people in the south are people who were driven away from the Central Plains during the integration and formation of the Huaxia people, and there are the Huaxia people who took refuge in the south during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as the remnants of the Chu State, as well as the original Sanmiao, Shanyue people, in terms of blood and cultural customs, there is not much difference from the Han people, in the future, it is also a real land of China.

Compared with the Hu people in the north, who repeatedly posed a huge threat to the Central Plains Dynasty and had a deep blood feud, the Yi people in the south were not strong in combat. The rebellion is not fierce, it cannot compete with the forces of the Central Plains, and it has been in a position of being oppressed and bullied for a long time, so there will be no less natural resistance, but they are not henchmen after all, and the place where they are located in the south of the Yangtze River is the money and grain warehouse of the Tang Dynasty in the blueprint of the Suning plan, and their chaos is not beneficial to the development of Jiangnan.

Therefore, if this turmoil can be ended in a peaceful way, Jiangnan can enter an era of peace in the true sense. Sweep away all ill-intentioned forces. By the way, you can also recover these Yi people, let them build their hometowns, and let them pay taxes for Datang, all Datang needs to do is give them security and national identity. Compared to the northern Hu people. Suning prefers to accept southerners. Integrate them into the bloodline of the Huaxia clan some time earlier, and there is no need to wait for the Southern Song Dynasty.

After stabilizing the rear, we can continue to march north, east, and west.

So. The Feng family, as the largest family and the most powerful family in Lingnan, wants to gradually deprive him of his power, and become a family with only wealth and fame, it is not easy, the British have gradually stripped the power of the royal family for hundreds of years, but Sunning can not wait for hundreds of years.

"The court can actually offer such conditions, it is really surprising to the old man, it seems that the sincerity of the court is beyond doubt." After sending off the guests, Feng Ang stood in front of the door and said to Suning, who was still sitting on the chair and eating.

Su Ning said while eating: "Since Duke Feng has seen the sincerity of the imperial court, should we also let the imperial court see the sincerity of Duke Feng?" Gifts are still exchanged, so that there can be exchanges, otherwise, it will not look good! ”

Feng Ang looked at Suning's indifferent face, sighed imperceptibly, and said: "I will order tomorrow that the Audit Department and the City Department can be back in operation, and the Feng family will take the initiative to cooperate with the Office of the Audit Department and the City Department, and will also try their best to urge the rest of the families to accept the arrangements of the Audit Department and the City Department together, including Zhang Wuregret's arrangement." ”

Suning nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, the imperial court has also seen Feng Gong's sincerity." ”

Feng Ang walked to Suning and sat down, stared at Suning and said, "Then, can we continue to talk?" ”

Suning put down his chopsticks, took a sip of wine, and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's natural, since Feng Gong's sincerity has been seen, then, Feng Gong can put forward conditions, of course, it must be premised on the three chapters of the law, and the three chapters of the law have nothing to talk about, whether it is them, or Feng Gong, or anyone." ”

Feng Ang said: "The old man naturally understands this, and you don't need to say it, this is already the minimum, the old man will not get an inch, but the old man also needs to determine some things, the old man knows that only Lingnan alone cannot fight against the Tang Dynasty, so Wude rejected the construction of the king in the early years of the soil, Zhenguan five years into the court, the old man never wanted to rebel."

However, in this world, there are some things that must be there, if not, isn't it just for others to rub and round? The old man also understands this truth, of course, Su Hou, you also understand, right? Since this is the case, the old man has to confirm, will these conditions make the old man lose those things? ”

Suning shook his head: "Feng Gong is a smart person, if these things are done, it will definitely make Feng Gong realize that although Feng Gong is not the opponent of the imperial court, but if Lingnan is full of blood, the imperial court does not want to see it, let alone accept it, so the imperial court will not reduce the power that Feng Gong had before, but only ask Feng Gong to stand on the same line as the imperial court when he uses these powers, help the imperial court, stabilize the Lingnan, Lingnan is stable, developed, the imperial court is willing to see, and Feng Gong is also willing." ”

Feng Ang asked, "This is what the imperial court requires?" The court asked the old man to obey the order? ”

Suning nodded: "That's right, the prestige of the Feng family in Lingnan The imperial court also understands that Lingnan needs the Feng family and needs Feng Gong, if not, many people will rise up to compete for the position originally occupied by the Feng family, then, bloodshed cannot be avoided, everyone is the people of the Tang Dynasty, after sweeping away the Shandong Shi clan, I don't want to see the people of the Tang Dynasty kill each other, and it can be solved through negotiation, so don't use swords and soldiers, soldiers and horses will only be used against the Tang people when they are helpless."

What's more, Feng Gong didn't lose anything, in many things, Feng Gong needed to make a gesture, the Feng family was the co-lord of Lingnan, and the imperial court issued an order, if everyone was willing to follow it, it would naturally be the best. If there is a disagreement, it is necessary for Feng Gong to help the court so that the imperial decree can be realized. ”

Feng Ang didn't nod in agreement, but frowned and asked, "What decree?" This, should be important. ”

Suning smiled and said, "That's right, it's really important, if there is no Feng Gong to take the lead in this matter." It is estimated that it will be difficult for the imperial court to do this in Lingnan. However, this has to be done, so I hope that Feng Gong will understand the righteousness. Help the Imperial Court to fulfill this decree. Then something else. Matters related to shipping, and even the right to exploit two or three islands, are negotiable. ”

Feng Ang frowned and said, "Say it." What does the old man need to do. ”

Suning said: "Feng Gong must also know that the land of Guanzhong, the land of Shandong, the land of Hebei, and the land of Shuzhong have gradually begun to fully popularize the law of Juntian, and the law of Juntian is the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, which is very important, and it has to be investigated, but this national policy is difficult to implement in Jiangnan, and it is almost impossible to see how the law of Juntian is implemented in Jiangnan.

In the process of developing Jiangnan, the imperial court planned to gradually implement the law of equalizing land in Jiangnan, which had two major problems: first, there was not much land without ownership, and second, there were not many households; According to the law of Juntian, a man is divided into 20 acres of Yongye field, 80 acres of mouth field, a total of 100 acres, if the family has two men or even three men, then 200 acres or even 300 acres of land are needed, most of the land in the south of the Yangtze River is occupied by local heroes, tribes and families, and the court has almost no good land in hand.

This is one, two, the imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River does not have enough households, most of the people in order to avoid paying taxes, or ancestral inheritance, has been under a certain large landlord as tenants or simply for the tribe, a family surname is often thousands of units, tens of thousands of tenants, but the number of households in the imperial court state and county registers is pitifully small, although since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the imperial court implemented the three-long system in an attempt to strengthen the imperial court's control over the households, but, the war is endless, natural disasters and man-made disasters, but there is not much effect.

Now the Tang Dynasty was established, the world was peaceful, the three-long system was fully implemented, and Guanzhong was the place where the Tang Dynasty started, whether it was the law of Juntian or the three-long system was implemented very well, and now the development of Guanzhong is extremely prosperous and prosperous, and other northern lands and Shuzhong are also gradually implemented, but the huge land in the south of the Yangtze River has almost no Juntian, and there are almost no three longs, how is this good?

Not to mention the Feng family, in the whole country, there is also a considerable reputation in Jiangnan, if Feng Gong takes the lead in responding to the imperial court policy, compared to the imperial court in Jiangnan to implement the law of Juntian and the three-long system, there will be a good effect, I don't know what Feng Gong wants? ”

Feng Ang just stared at Suning and said: "Su Hou, you should know that land, tribes, tenants, these are the foundation of the family, the family industry, and the ancestral inheritance, passed down from generation to generation, does Su Hou want to let the old man give up the ancestral inheritance with one or two islands and spices?" That's not the old man's clever robbery, but the fact that many emperors and the Feng family of the previous dynasty paid for it themselves, and every piece of land can see the light, if the court wants to rob it, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right? ”

Suning smiled and waved his hand: "I haven't finished saying anything yet, why is Feng Gong angry?" Of course, I know that these land tribes and tenants are the foundation of the family, and there are thousands of acres of fiefdom in Xia, and there are also a number of tenants and a group of tribes, but the number is very small, and the meaning of Xia is not to exchange these land and tenants with Feng Gong by sea and island, but I just hope to do a business with Feng Gong, well, it should be that the imperial court will do a business with Jiangnan. ”

Feng Ang said coldly: "What business? ”

Suning said: "It's no secret that Feng Gong owns more than 10,000 acres of land, everyone knows it, but is there a lot of output of this 10,000 acres of land?" It is no secret that Duke Feng has 10,000 people and tenants, but is it easy for these 10,000 people to eat, drink, and afford? I'm afraid not! ”

Feng Ang snorted: "Ancestral foundation, no matter how difficult it is, Feng Ang will keep it!" Otherwise, what face will you have to meet your ancestors and ancestors! Needless to say! ”

Suning smiled and said, "Gong Feng, what if the imperial court exchanged rice, potatoes, and corn seeds with the advanced agricultural methods of the Central Plains?" ”

Feng Ang was stunned for a moment, and then stared at Suning tightly: "You say it again!" ”

Su Ning thanked Fang Xuanling in his heart for advocating the policy of not letting a single seed flow into Jiangnan, and said with a smile: "The imperial court did not allow any seeds of potatoes, corn and rice to flow into Jiangnan before, and the control was extremely strict, which must have made Feng Gong very troubled, right?" Lingnan crops are two or even three crops a year, but they are still far less than the output of one crop a year in Guanzhong, Feng Gong should also know what is the difference between the yield of those crops and the yield of the crops in Feng Gong's hands, right?

If Feng Gong can sell 10,000 acres of land to the imperial court at a normal price, and then transfer a thousand tenants to the imperial court at a normal price, so that the imperial court can collect those lands as public land, and the tenants will be included in the civil register, then needless to say, the matter of shipping will naturally satisfy Feng Gong, and those seeds, Feng Gong can also get them very easily, and the most advanced agricultural tools and technology in the Central Plains can also be informed to Feng Gong, Feng Gong can give up a small amount of family business, but he can get several times the previous income, excuse me, Feng Gong is profitable, Or did you suffer a loss?
