Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

In addition, there are a large number of rural wanderers, small merchants, and fishermen by the sea.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if you grab someone on the street, either your ancestors have worked for the Jiangnan Chinese, or you are still relying on the Jiangnan Chinese for food.

It is a supreme merit to hand over the farmland to the imperial court and distribute it to the common people uniformly.

But it is said that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.

Even if the land is handed over to the people, the people are from the Hua nationality in the south of the Yangtze River.

The psychological oppression accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years cannot be dispelled by a sentence or two.

If the Jiangnan Hua people headed by the Zhu family are willing, they can take back most of the farmland at any time.

And so on, this is the policy of "hiding wealth from the people" of the Jiangnan Chinese.

Liu Bai realized this, but underestimated the influence of the Jiangnan Chinese among the common people.

As a result, a bad effect was produced.

He didn't understand why the people in the south of the Yangtze River didn't even dare to rise up against the idea of ​​resisting the Chinese people in the south of the Yangtze River

When the sun was high, Liu Bai came to Shazikou and wanted to go back to Dongzhou Island.

Before the boat sailed, Zhang Yong, who hurried over from Zhu's mansion, also boarded the boat.

A waist card of the Sima of the Prince of Wu's mansion really made Zhang Yong feel bad.

This guy hung his badge around his neck, and as the hull rose and fell, the badge kept bumping into his chest, making him cough all the time.

"My lord, this trip has yielded quite a lot of money. Every family paid out money, and the Zhu family even gave out 600 million guan in one fell swoop!"

It was this number that made Liu Bai's originally pretty good mood completely defeated!

Seeing Liu Bai's face suddenly sink, Zhang Yong immediately put the waist card in his arms with a guilty conscience.

The old housekeeper who was always by his side saw this and quickly gave Zhang Yong a hand.

As if waking up from a dream, Zhang Yong put a stack of receipts on the low table in front of Liu Bai.

"Is there something wrong with your son?"

Zhang Yong asked cautiously.

Liu Bai glanced at Zhang Yong.

This glance made Zhang Yong's heart tremble!

He tried hard to think about whether he had done anything wrong.

It turned out that there seemed to be nothing wrong except for a little bit of embarrassment.

Liu Bai shook his head and said: "Give these bills to Dou Xiaoci, he knows what to do."

Zhang Yong cupped his hands and hurriedly withdrew.

Wang Shouren also had the same expression as Liu Bai.

According to their earlier estimates, the Zhu family was able to spend the previous 400 million guan, which is already remarkable.

The Gu family who offered the same price had already sold off many properties.

If there is no accident, they will spend another two or three million guan, and they will run out of fuel.

But who would have thought that Zhu Zihong would take out 600 million coins at once?

If the property is not sold, there is only one possibility.

He took back part of the wealth 'hidden among the people'.

Liu Bai took a deep breath, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I understand what it means to be angry."

Wang Shouren said lightly: "The fear of the Chinese people in the south of the Yangtze River runs deep into their bones. With a word from the Zhu family, it is not difficult for them to hand over the family business they have worked so hard to earn."

They all know exactly what the so-called 'hiding wealth from the people' is all about.

This method is very similar to the 'Longevity Money' released by Buddhist temples in the Southern Dynasties.

To put it bluntly, it is a usury with an even more exaggerated interest rate!

"480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many towers are in the mist and rain" sounds like a beautiful scene, but under this scene, there are countless corpses of ordinary people!

In the past, Buddhism did not need to pay taxes, not only had countless properties under its name, but also had countless royal rewards.

They are not satisfied with primitive accumulation, and begin to extravagantly seek more wealth.

The emergence of 'Longevity Money' has made the Buddhist ambitions swell unprecedentedly.

At its peak, even the emperor sold it three times!

Some people always say that Emperor Wu exterminated Buddhism out of selfish desires, but in fact, this is a historical necessity!

Buddhism has become the creditor of countless people, and over time, the extremely exaggerated interest rate will exceed the value created by the people in their lifetime.

The money is rolled over, and the interest is rolled over. Generations of people can't afford it.

If you don't want the foundation of the Central Plains dynasty to evolve into the caste system of Tianzhu, or the serf system of Tubo, the only way is to destroy Buddha!

In contrast, the methods used by the Jiangnan Chinese to control the people are more secretive.

They treat the common people more'gentle'.

At least, some wealth will be left behind so that the people can survive.

It can also be said that their vision is more long-term.

After all, with the method of Buddhism, within a few generations, the poor should be extinct

At this moment, where are the receipts placed in front of Liu Bai?

There are clearly thousands of wronged souls!

The people in Jiangnan have been bullied to the extreme.

Perhaps, they thought that it was a great kindness for the Chinese to save them a way out, but they completely forgot that what was handed over to the Chinese was their hard-earned hard-earned money!

This is the situation Liu Bai least wants to see.

Anger is probably the most helpless mood.

If it is changed to Guanzhong, even if men can hold back their anger for a while, women with bad tempers and hard tempers will not be used to them.

It doesn't matter what kind of Chinese nobleman he is, or what kind of prince and general!

Since life can't go on, why don't you bring up the hoe and fight against his mother? !

"If possible, I am not willing to play this hole card"

Liu Bai murmured.

He handed over the previous 600 million guan to Zhang Yong, just to let him take the initiative among the Jiangnan Chinese.

Only with the initiative can we have the right to speak.

It would be best to force the Zhu family and the Gu family into poor commanders.

Now it seems that it is impossible not to play this card.

He looked at Wang Shouren and said, "Old Wang, you should go to Datang Huangji Group again and tell Li Tai that the Buddhist and Taoist double meeting will be held as scheduled, let him take care of it, and I will attend it myself!"

Wang Shouren nodded, got up and left the cabin.

Take a small boat and return to Sandkou.

Chapter 1455 If you want to be rich, have fewer children and grow more trees

The boat wobbled to the pier of Dongzhou Island.

Liu Bai didn't go to the island, but changed to a big boat, sailed to a slightly deeper sea area, and sat on the deck to fish.

I don't pray to catch fish, I just want to be quiet and think about things.

He was angry.

Not only were the people in Jiangnan angry for not fighting, but also the Zhu family's move, which greatly hindered the plan to implement banknotes.

In fact, he never regarded the Jiangnan Chinese as an enemy.

It would be great if all the Chinese in Jiangnan were aware of current affairs like Zhang Yong.

He has too many things to do, too many enemies to destroy.

Everything I'm going through now is internal friction!

He didn't have the time or the mood to continue fighting with the Jiangnan Chinese.

If it wasn't a last resort, he really didn't want to use official power to punish the Jiangnan Chinese.

Like the Gu family, he can use sea bears at any time to force Gu Chengdao's family to death!

But since then, what's the use?

In other words, what benefits can it bring?

At most, it was nothing more than seeing the heads of the Gu family fall to the ground in Suzhou City.

Even the Zhu family can't help it.

In Qiantang County, those black workshops that secretly mix Wushi powder are completely under control.

Just wait for an order, and everyone will get all the stolen goods!

To put it bluntly, he is not willing to break the balance of Jiangnan.

Every stage of historical development is fixed.

The demise of the previous ruling class and the birth of the next ruling class have never been said to happen overnight.

For a small seed to bloom and bear fruit, soil, water, and sunlight are all indispensable, and even a little bit of chance and coincidence is added!

Without any one factor, the precious seeds can only rot slowly.

The ruling foundation of the imperial court was the landlord class all over the world.

Doudizhu can be practiced, but it must not become a fashion.

Datang is extremely powerful, so powerful that it makes all other countries in this world tremble.

Similarly, Datang is also extremely vulnerable.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty in history perished was because of the vassal system that was not valued much at first?

For a long time, Liu Bai has been carefully caring for all the achievements he has achieved, and tried not to use external forces as much as possible.

Because he knows that the results obtained with the help of external forces will not last long.

And this huge empire is a plate for the achievements.

The plate crumbled, and there was nothing to talk about.

Liu Bai, who wanted to calm down by fishing, became more and more angry.

He stood up abruptly and threw the fishing rod into the water.

"A bunch of lifeless things!"

Liu Wan'er, who came over with a plate of fresh lychees, looked worried when she saw this.

Liu Rong'er next to her wondered, "Who is this husband with?"

Chang Le, who was following the two of them, said quietly: "Who else can I go with? It's nothing more than those idiots of the Chinese people in the south of the Yangtze River."

The third daughter stepped forward, Liu Wan'er put the plate on the deck, and stuffed a lychee into Liu Bai's mouth.

Liu Bai took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

"Girl from the Wei family, why isn't she with you?"

"The child went to Suzhou City to find Li You."

As she said that, Liu Wan'er put away the ponytail that Liu Bai kicked over, and said with a smile: "My husband has become a prince, and he has a good temper."

After many years of husband and wife, it was the first time she saw Liu Bai and became so angry.

Liu Bai sat down, spat out a fruit core into the sea, and said: "There are too many idiots in this world, adding them up one by one, you can't kill them all!"

Liu Wan'er peeled another lychee and stuffed it into Liu Bai's mouth.
