Hehe, people who think this way, go to the construction site to move bricks for a month, and they will definitely change their minds after they come back!

On the contrary, the vast majority of these low-level workers will applaud even if they don't get a penny!Even sleeps and wakes up laughing!

As for why, there is no reason, idle is idle, just watch it for fun!The former billionaire has been reduced to moving bricks with you, will you really feel sorry for him?

The complexity of the human heart is like this, you used to be so beautiful, lying down and counting money, going out is a luxury car BMW, entering a luxury club, with a bunch of licking dogs behind you.Xiao Ying, who has never been in contact with the bottom layer, may not understand, but Chen Baxian, who has been struggling in the world for many years, understands it too well.

Seeing that you are not doing well now, I feel at ease, even if I didn't eat an extra piece of meat.If you are well, there will be a bolt from the blue, this is the normal state of the world.Times have changed, but the truth has always been the same.

Xiao Ying frowned slightly, she didn't quite agree with Chen Baxian's words, and she didn't know where to refute, she just felt very blocked.

"Then what do you think it should be?"

Xiao Ying asked impatiently.

"Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. We can also follow what Liu Yishou did in Guoyang, but don't go too far like him. My subordinates are telling the truth that the big families in Huainan are hopeless. We can count on them. There is no doubt about death."

Chen Baxian wanted to scare Xiao Ying to death, so that the other party didn't want to take up the post now!

"and then?"

Xiao Ying asked with an unkind expression, you are responsible for putting out the fire you started, otherwise you will look good!

"His Royal Highness is very popular in Wu Xing, and has done a lot of good governance. Wu Xing has a large population, and it has been peaceful for decades, and the land has long been overwhelmed. In recent years, more and more people have lost their land and are idle.

It is better for His Royal Highness to call some villagers to migrate to Nanyanzhou, enrich them to the surrounding area of ​​Guoyang, and implement the military system.

Lighten the corvee, lighten the land tax, and divide the land widely. Naturally, Wu Xing's immigrants will return to their hearts, and they can be driven by His Highness.As for the powerful local families in Guoyang, His Highness just suppresses them.

With His Highness around, they just cut off their arms. If Liu Yishou comes, they are afraid that they will die and their family will be wiped out. What should they do? His Highness persuaded those people with kind words, and I believe they will understand. "

Chen Baxian said with a cold light in his eyes.Of course, if you still don’t understand after talking about it, you can only ask the Buddha to go out and let those people go to the Western Bliss to receive the Buddha’s teachings.

Only magic can defeat magic, learn Liu Yishou's method to deal with Liu Yishou, this idea is completely fine!

Hearing this, Xiao Ying was finally satisfied.

He nodded slightly, smiled and praised: "Xingguo's words made me suddenly enlightened. You might as well go to the village to gather the villagers. Each household has [-] mu of land, and the mulberry field is not counted. If the unmarried, [-] mu for the mature land."

Xiao Ying also wrote a big bad check.Anyway, Tian doesn't belong to him, and he doesn't feel bad for selling his grandfather Tian. This feeling is great!This scheme of allocating land will result in a lot of surplus acres allocated to each person, and one person cannot be busy at all.

Is there a way?In fact, there are, that is, to call on the locals to help.Wouldn't the group expand in this way?As for those local powerful families who disagree, let them go.

Anyway, they are a flock of fat sheep, so if they are killed by Liu Yishou, they are still killed, it is better to keep them for themselves.

For a while, Xiao Ying also figured it out.

"That matter should not be delayed. I will go to the village to gather the villagers to support His Highness. After someone makes the first one, the next thing will be easy to handle. However, His Highness still has to post a notice in Wuxing City."

Chen Baxian suggested modestly.

Xiao Ying nodded slightly, and accepted it graciously.

……

In the study room of Wang Wei's residence in Shouyang City, Liu Yishou specially called a few people who made suggestions to his house for a drink, and chatted about the next plan by the way.

"Fatty Yang, what do you think the big families are most afraid of besides refugees gathering to make trouble and the emperor wanting to exterminate the clan?"

Liu Yishou poured Yang Min a glass of wine and asked.

Although Liu Yishou talks casually with acquaintances on weekdays, he still respects them in private.Yang Min didn't mind the other party calling him Fatty Yang either.

"Uh, if you really want to talk about it, it is the most annoying thing to lower the rent of the neighboring family and farm."

Yang Min thought for a moment and said.

Neither Wang Wei nor Chen Yuankang came from a great family, so they have no personal experience of this.Hearing Yang Min say this, everyone was surprised.

"For the big landlords, the tenants are all mobile, fleeing is a normal phenomenon, as long as a general balance is maintained.

For example, Cui's and Yang's farms are adjacent to each other, and they have festivals with each other.In order to disgust Yang, Cui can adjust the land rent a little lower than the other party.

The Yang family received [-]%, and the Cui family received [-]%.In this way, Yang's tenants would flee to Cui's farm, which would make Yang extremely uncomfortable.

But the problem is, if the Cui family does this, it will also offend other aristocratic families around them. Whoever has the lowest land rent will be the most unpopular. "

That's it!

Wang Wei, Chen Yuankang and others suddenly realized that their farms and houses were not many, and even if they had no worries about food and clothing, there was no problem of a large number of tenants fleeing.But the Hongnong Yang family was a big family that dominated Gyeonggi back then, so there is no need to say much about the local situation.

Of course, what Yang Min said was only a theoretical situation. If it really came to that point, Yang would use the relationship of the court to make peace with Cui, and the land rent would be synchronized.

Let's exploit and oppress the tenants together, why bother fighting?

"That's good, then let's promulgate a new law after this year's autumn harvest, and start next year to reduce land rent!"

Liu Yishou laughed and said!

Chen Yuankang sighed, couldn't help pouring cold water on it and said: "If the land rent is lowered, I'm afraid our army will run out of food and grass, so we can't keep robbing the surrounding counties. Now even the barbarians in the north know Farming!"

That's right, you can lower the land rent, or even not collect the land rent. In that case, "the benevolent is invincible", and whoever dares to touch you, the local people will spontaneously organize to protect you!

But the question is, what do you eat if you don’t collect rent?

"Hey, don't be so narrow-minded."

Liu Yishou waved his hand and said, "Food is inconvenient to store. Farmers can't finish the food they receive, so they have to sell too much. The first supplementary decree I want to say is that the local people are not allowed to sell food to other places." , can only be sold to us. If there are any sneaky sellers, after they are caught, all the fields will be taken back."

"But what shall we collect?"

Yang Min is in charge of money, so he naturally knows that this kind of food purchase is definitely drinking poison to quench thirst, and there are too many future troubles to continue.

"Owners also need to wear clothes, right? Grain needs to be processed in order to be sold for money. Do you think you can collect some grain and you're done?"

Liu Yishou said with a smile, everyone was silent for a while, and they understood what the other party was trying to do.

"There was a rich family who bought a ghost from a Taoist priest. This ghost is so powerful that he can do anything. There is only one thing, you can't let him stop, he will eat people when he stops.

With this ghost, the big family will no longer have to worry about no one to work on the land, no one to take care of the housework, and life will soon become prosperous.

However, the elder in the family died suddenly, and did not explain how to use this ghost to the younger generation.Later, after the plowing was over, the ghosts had nothing to do and made troubles everywhere without getting new orders, and finally ate everyone in the big family. "

After the eerie story was told, Liu Yishou looked around at the crowd and said, "Although it's a bit unpleasant, all the people under our rule, when taken together, can actually be counted as the ghost of that big family.

What we have to do is not let this ghost stop, let it always have something to do, do good things and don't do bad things, that's all.If it stops, it will eat us back, do you understand this? "

It seems to understand, but it seems not to understand.

But very interesting!

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they were inspired.

Chapter 297: Being a Corrupt Official Wants to Be Treacherous

After the battle between Gao Huan and Er Zhurong in Hanling Mountain, on the surface, Gao Huan repelled Er Zhurong's counterattack, forcing the opponent to retreat to Jinyang and curl up to lick his wounds.

But in fact, Gao Huan's grass-roots team has many forces. After this battle, many people saw that Gao Huan's strength was limited, and the cohesion of the entire team did not increase, but was divided into two groups, faintly fighting against each other.

People from the six towns, as well as the Hu tribes (such as the Modolou tribe) who had taken refuge in Gao Huan, were all closely united by Gao Huan's side.However, the many forces of the Hebei aristocratic family vaguely have the Hebei Gao brothers as their backbone.

The four brothers of the Gao family in Hebei, the eldest Gao Gan is the master of literature, the third Gao Ang (Gao Aocao) is the master of martial arts, and there are many children from Zhaojun Li family, Qinghe Cui family and other aristocratic families to support them, and they are also quite prestigious in the Caotai team.

After repelling Er Zhurong, in view of the fact that Er Zhurong traveled from Jinyang to the east of the river to Luoyang, and used Luoyang as a base for a surprise attack, Gao Huan sent Gao Aocao as the governor of Gyeonggi, and led his troops to station in Luoyang to guard against Er Zhurong. Zhu Rong attacked again.

As for whether this move has other purposes, Gao Huan will not tell others, and it is naturally impossible for others to ask directly.

……

Compared with Gao Huan's rapid and stable situation, He Bayue, who betrayed Er Zhurong, experienced ups and downs.

At this time, the situation in Guanzhong was very chaotic. The Wei army who was still loyal to the imperial court controlled Chang'an, but the territory was greatly reduced, barely ensuring that the long and narrow land east of Chang'an was still under control.

And Wanqi Chounu, who was born in the Xiongnu nationality, led his troops to control the large area of ​​land between the Jingshui and Weishui in the northern part of Guanlong, and became king and hegemony.

Even the soldiers pointed directly at Chang'an!

At the beginning, He Bayue led his troops through the many obstacles in Tongguan, but it didn't take long before he was blocked by the Chishui Shu bandits at the foot of Huashan Mountain.Naturally, these little shrimps couldn't stop the elite under He Bayue's command.

However, it's just Wanqi ugly slave.

When they arrived in Chang'an and were warmly welcomed by the officers and soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, they heard a surprising news!

Er Zhurong was already one step ahead and sent people into Guanzhong!

This news was like a bolt from the blue, He Bayue inquired about it, Er Zhurong's subordinate Hou Mo Chenyue was originally guarding Luoyang with Murong Shaozong.After learning that Er Zhurong had suffered a defeat, he was unwilling to follow Murong Shaozong into Jinyang, so he led his troops to flee to Guanzhong.

After learning that Wanqi Chounu was powerful, Hou Mo Chen Yue turned around and took refuge in Wanqi Chounu, and volunteered to be the vanguard to attack Chang'an.It's a pity that because of unfamiliarity with the local conditions and the bad reputation of Wanqi ugly slaves, the defenders of Chang'an resisted fiercely, and the siege of the city failed.

After He Bayue took over Chang'an City, he integrated his soldiers and horses, and the morale of the whole team was boosted. The whole army was gearing up, planning to defeat Wanqi Chounu, and then make calculations after unifying Guanzhong.

Now the situation is obvious, as long as they defeat Wanqi Chounu, they will gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong.It's just that Wanqi Chounu is currently powerful. Although it is not as powerful as Hebei Gerong back then, it cannot be underestimated.

Hou Mo and Chen Yue took refuge in Wanqi Chounu without even thinking about it, which is enough to show that the other party is difficult to deal with.Now Wanqi Chounu has claimed to be the emperor in Gaoping and has set up civil and military officials.The next step is to flatten Chang'an, which can be said to be a hopeless attempt.

Originally, He Bayue was still full of confidence, but after walking around Chang'an City, his pride disappeared in an instant.

The officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the city are either fishing or on the way to fish. The more precarious the city is, the more all kinds of moths are there.

It was only then that He Bayue felt that there were too many powerful people on his side, but too few people who could manage affairs and govern the place!

It is easy to defeat those hardened enemies, but it is difficult to control these corrupt officials.If you kill one batch, another batch will pop up immediately, and you will never be able to kill them all!

Just when He Bayue was at a loss, a man who claimed to be a child of Wu Gong (place name, north of Xianyang today) visited him, hoping to see him.

He Bayue was troubled in his heart, there were countless people who had been seeking an official recently, and most of them were descendants of aristocratic families.Originally he wanted to drive this person away, but his subordinate Li Hu told He Bayue after asking why, the name of this person was Su Chuo, he was from the martial arts Su family, and he was from a rich local family.

Because his elder brother Su Liang took refuge in Wanqi Chou Nu, he was very worried, fearing that the martial arts Su family would be wiped out in the future, so he came to seek refuge with He Bayue, hoping to spare his elder brother Su Liang in the future because of his desperate service. And martial arts Su Shi.

He Bayue was moved by Su Chuo's foresight and filial piety, and decided to meet Su Chuo alone.

On this day, in a small courtyard in Chang'an City, He Bayue saw the unattractive Su Chuo for the first time.

To be honest, Su Chuo looks very literary, with slender arms and legs, he is probably not good at horseback riding and archery.He Bayue pondered in his heart, maybe this one is not as good as Liu Yishou's physique back then.However, this person can actually see that Wanqi Chounu's defeat is not far away, and he is worried about his brother's future, which is enough to show that this person is extraordinary.

He Bayue didn't dare to underestimate the other party. Thinking of the current predicament, he sighed softly and asked: "Mr. Su, I have not long taken over Chang'an, and I deeply feel that it is not easy to govern the place. Please teach me, sir."

Governing a country is not an easy task, let alone whoever is powerful in force, otherwise Er Zhurong would not be unpopular.

Su Chuo replied without hesitation: "The governor only needs to make good use of officials at all levels. Individual strength is insignificant in governing the country, and it needs to rely on the collective strength of many people."

Su Chuo bowed to He Bayue politely, very elegantly.

That's it?

He Bayue was greatly disappointed, Su Chuo seemed to be having such a thing, but the answer was not so good.Doesn't He Bayue know that governing the country requires collective strength?

The problem is that because he needs to rely on the strength of the collective, he feels that he can't use his strength!Su Chuo's answer didn't sound like an answer, but rather a mockery.

He Bayue suppressed the disappointment in his heart and continued to ask: "I know this, but how can I make good use of officials? Officials at all levels are mixed, and their minds are complicated, so they can't give orders. I feel powerless, please teach me. "

He really couldn't bear it, if Su Chuo continued to be perfunctory, he should dismiss this guy casually, out of sight and out of mind.

"The governor wants to use corrupt officials, but also to abandon them. To put it simply, he uses corrupt officials to deal with corrupt officials."

Su Chuo said with a smile.

He Bayue was taken aback, he seemed to have heard similar words somewhere before!

Horse riding, didn't Liu Yishou say that when he ransacked his home in Luoyang!

He Bayue quickly sat up straight, saluted Su Chuo very respectfully, and said convincingly: "Please explain in detail, sir, and I will listen carefully! Please!"

He had been cold and impatient before, but suddenly became warm and respectful.Su Chuo didn't know where the problem was, but he was very self-restraining, he still bowed to He Bayue, and then said leisurely: "Corrupt officials are like rats crossing the street, and most governors wish to kill all corrupt officials in the world, but , These people can’t be killed.”

Su Chuo's words were very level, and He Bayue also agreed very much.What Liu Yishou said back then: To be a corrupt official is to be treacherous, and to be a clean official is to be even more treacherous, otherwise how can you beat those bad guys?

Both honest and corrupt officials are bad people. Can this country be good?

"Sir, I don't know something. Although it's not good to say it, I can only use people who are loyal to me. Unfaithful people, no matter how powerful and clean they are, can't be used."

He Bayue spoke the truth.

"The chief governor is right to think so. To unify Guanzhong, it is impossible not to put the loyalty of officials first.

Because only when the officials are loyal can you feel at ease, and only when you are at ease can the country be stabilized. "

Su Chuo spoke very straightforwardly, without any twists and turns.He Bayue just wanted to be the Lord of Guanzhong, so he just said it and it was over, there was nothing to hide.

Hearing this, He Bayue was extremely excited.He took Su Chuo's hand and said with emotion: "Your Excellency is my Zhuge Kongming! Please continue talking, even if I talk about it for three days and three nights, I won't feel bored."

Seeing He Bayue's sincerity, Su Chuo heaved a sigh of relief, the trip was worthwhile.He tidied up his clothes and said solemnly: "My lord, you need to understand that people are animals that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. What's more, the purpose of being an official for thousands of miles is to eat and clothe, and to keep his wife and children. If officials are not profitable under your hands, then How can they be sincerely loyal to you?

Only when officials get tangible benefits will they act seriously.This is like a farmer working in the field. If they have worked hard for a year and the harvest is taken away by a wealthy family, can they work hard on the field? "

This master really spoke clearly, He Bayue was speechless.When Liu Yishou ransacked his house in Luoyang back then, he gave them the bulk of his money. At that time, they were all willing to be driven by each other, and they could almost be regarded as flattering licking dogs.
