Zhi Miaoyin said sternly: "So whether it is a big family or a powerful landlord, they have the ability and ability to organize the people and produce on a large scale. In this way, the output of food will be greatly increased, and if ordinary small farmers work alone, even with the same quantity
, the output is far less than that of the family's manor, which is why they will starve to death if they leave the master's family. Brother Yu, do you want Wang Mang's tragedy to happen again in the future?"
Liu Yu murmured to himself: "Could it be that these tenants can't live without the big families? That shouldn't be the case. If these people can survive only if the big families organize production, then we can do what Jingkou did.
If the tenants who have obtained the land are allowed to help themselves, or if the whole village is cultivated under the organization of the village chief or the township leader, it will not be said to be individual production by a single family."
Zhi Miaoyin sighed: "Jingkou is Jingkou, a very special place. No aristocratic family has ever occupied the common people's land here, and the people who live in the same village are often brothers who have known each other life and death on the battlefield.
There is a basis of trust and cooperation, but the tenants of Wudi Manor have not been free for generations. They can do whatever the owner calls them, and they have no neighbors. If you really want to give them some land now and let them be independent, then they
It’s really like being without any friends, and the neighbors are all strangers, and we don’t even know each other, so how can we help each other?!”
At this point, Zhi Miaoyin paused: "Moreover, the village chiefs you mentioned are usually only those who have some honors and titles, or are the children of scholars, such as you Liu Yu, if you don't have a
As a father of a county meritorious officer, do you think that you can become a good official just by relying on your fists and kicks? Among the various grassroots officials in Jingkou now, which one has not performed military exploits in the Beifu Army and can convince the public? "
"But among the tenants of a large family, which one can now become a leader and be able to win over the masses? Is he a good fighter or a good farmer? I'm afraid he is neither. If you really want to cut off the land now and divide the land among the people, then
There are only two results, either, these people will be unable to make a living like they did during Wang Mang's time, starving to death in large numbers, and eventually leading to great chaos."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "This result cannot happen no matter what. We must find a way to let powerful people lead these people. If it doesn't work, we can let the Beifu army disperse to the Sanwu land to work as grassroots officials.
Lead these people to make a living. The other way you mentioned should be this."
A trace of helplessness flashed in Zhi Miaoyin's eyes: "Brother Yu, brother Yu, you always think of everything too well, but I will consider the worst results in advance. This is still the case. The other result is than
The first one is even worse, because it is impossible for the Beifu Army to abandon their ancestral property in Jingkou and go to the land of Sanwu to start over. Those who can lead these people, organize them, or convince them, except for the aristocratic family,
There is only the way of the Heavenly Master."
Liu Yu's expression and Murong Lan's expression changed at the same time, and they blurted out in unison: "What, Tianshi Dao? Absolutely not!"
Thinking of those immortals outside Luoyang City, Liu Yu felt cold. He gritted his teeth and said: "How could it be Tianshi Dao? This is the land of Sanwu, not the Central Plains. There are aristocratic families in charge, and they will not let it go.
They developed it.”
Zhi Miaoyin sneered: "It seems that Brother Yu has been away fighting for so many years and rarely lives in Jingkou. He doesn't know much about the current situation of the Jin Dynasty. Over the years, Tianshi Dao has been under the protection of King Kuaiji and Wang Guobao.
Under the situation, it has developed extremely rapidly. If you say that before you joined the army, Tianshi Tao in Wudi could only rely on some Taoist temples to preach publicly, and the scope was limited. Now its influence is more than ten times greater than it was back then. It can be said that there are people in every village.
Believers, every village has its own helm, and almost every household among the common people worships the Heavenly Master, and there are many who only know that there is a master, but not a master."
Liu Yu took a breath of air: "It's actually on such a scale? It's almost as big as the Central Plains."
Murong Lan looked solemn and nodded: "Yes, Brother Lang, that's it. I'm in charge of intelligence work and know these things very well. With the protection of King Kuaiji, most aristocratic families are tolerant of this, even aristocratic families
There are not a few disciples who believe in the Tao of the Heavenly Master. As long as they don't pull the tenant farmers away from the manor, they usually preach the religion, hold meetings every month, burn some talisman paper, receive some spiritual talismans, etc., all the major families
They all turn a blind eye, and even Xie Lingyun, the direct grandson of Xuan Shuai, is still fostered in Tianshi Dao and has been cultivating Taoism since he was a child."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Just to cultivate immortality, do you trust these people so much? Are all the Jiangnan families blind and unaware of the ambition of Tianshi Dao?"
Zhi Miaoyin sneered and said: "You are in the army and have a lot of dealings with the three masters of Tianshi Dao, so you naturally know what they want. But in Wu, Sun Tai and his sons showed no interest in power.
They just want to earn more incense money by teaching disciples, and at the same time sell various five-stone powders to the wealthy families for their sexual pleasure. In the eyes of most of the wealthy families in Wudi, Tianshi Dao is just some fantasy.
He is just a guy who uses gods and ghosts to deceive people. He has no power ambitions, so he will not take more precautions. In fact, many noble families who really want to cultivate immortality will entrust their nephews, my natal family’s spirits.
Luck and the fortune of your husband's family are all like this."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Could it be that a family like Wang Xie can't see their purpose, their ambition and harm? They don't stop them? It's really strange!"
Zhi Miaoyin sighed: "Either you don't see the harm, or you don't want to stop it at all. For ordinary people, Tianshi Tao not only allows them, poor people, to help each other, but also relieves their pain and purifies their souls. Brother Yu, you
In Jingkou, I was never bullied. In the army, I was a big brother who said he was the best and was admired by all the stars. You can't understand the kind of feeling when those who are promoted to ordinary people are exploited and squeezed by corrupt officials, bullies and unscrupulous masters.
There are those who have difficulty redressing their grievances and have to endure the pain of resignation.”
Murong Lan nodded: "Yes, the tenants who are helpless, powerless, and even physically dependent on aristocratic families have the most miserable life. Think about what Diao Kui did in Jingkou.
After all, he could only deceive people into losing money by opening a casino. If it were in other places, he would just rob it openly. If it was in his manor, he would kill the tenants and their whole families, and no one would question him.
Therefore, Buddhism and Taoism are very popular in the south of the Yangtze River because it can give people hope and persuade people to do good. Tianshi Tao allows the poor to help each other. In some cases, it can also use its relationship with big families to help the government to protect those who are bullied.
The disciples redress their grievances. In their view, this is the immortal who saves the suffering in this world, and the aristocratic families are also happy to let Tianshi Dao appease the people in this way, so that they will not roar in the mountains and forests and fight with force. This is the combination of the aristocratic families and Tianshi Dao.
the most important bond.”
