Chapter 5052: Land grabbing after amnesty

Zhu Chaoshi's face became ugly, his hands were clenched into fists, and his joints were rattling. It was obvious that he was suppressing his anger, but he could not refute these words, because this was a well-known fact.

Liu Muzhi sighed: "Mr. Tao, there is no need to mention these old things again. Those years were the civil war in the Jin Dynasty, and people could not choose their origin. General Zhu, General Hu, and Major General Lu were in Jingzhou and Yongzhou, so they naturally wanted to listen.

At that time, the governor of Jingzhou gave the order, and people like Wang Gong and Sima Daozi who were in power in the court at that time were not good people. Didn’t our Beifu brothers also have the blood of the brothers in Jingzhou and Yongzhou on their hands in these civil wars? Like this

Tragedy should never happen again, and it’s better to mention it as little as possible.”

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "I don't mean to settle old scores. These things are indeed the tragedy and scars of our Jin Dynasty. Moreover, the conflicts and civil war between Jing and Yang did not start from the time of Wang Gong and Huan Xuan. The Jin Dynasty was just

There were tragedies of these civil wars when the People's Republic of China was founded. But as Liu Pushe said, these tragedies cannot be repeated again. When will retribution happen? In order to avenge our dead brothers, we have to kill them in Jiangzhou.

, kill all the strong men in Jiangzhou who have betrayed the demon thieves, this will only cause more hatred and shed more blood. Then will Jiangzhou be loyal in the future?"

Speaking of this, Tao Yuanming looked at Xue Tong and Gao Jinzhi, and said in a deep voice: "General Xue, General Gao, can you two guarantee that if you go to Jiangzhou to kill those people in revenge like you did, you will kill those who are attached to them?"

The rebel thieves, the Jiangzhou tycoons who had used the banner of the demon thieves and provided substantial help to the demon thieves, were massacred, just like the local tyrants and landowners who Liu Laozhi used to plunder the Wudi for these crimes.

Will Jiangzhou be able to be completely pacified, so that if there is another turmoil, there will be no rebellion?"

Xue Tong looked a little flustered, and he began to realize the loopholes in his words, but he still said in a strong tone: "How can this be the same? According to your statement, there will be no punishment at all for those who rebel and cause trouble.

?What else does the national law do?"

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "According to the national law, of course there will be punishment, and even the whole family can be executed. But in fact, almost the entire landowners and tribal leaders from Jiangzhou to Yuzhou, including Jingnan and Guangzhou, have become traitors and committed crimes.

Luan, can you survive the killing? Can you survive the punishment?"

Xue Tong said solemnly: "Just because there are a lot of thieves, we can't give up on punishing them. Wouldn't everyone be in trouble in the future?"

Tao Yuanming sighed: "So during the previous crusade against Sun En's rebellion, even your Marshal Liu pardoned those who rebelled after gaining the upper hand. Those who surrendered were pardoned and no longer held accountable. Only those who were captured on the battlefield were pardoned.

Only the die-hard demon thieves were sent to the fighting arena or beaten into slavery to atone for their sins. Although Marshal Liu's pardon did not influence Lu Xun and Xu Daofu, as well as the old thieves under them, at least the people of Wudi

There will be no more thieves, right? Didn’t the peace and recovery of these years also come true?”

"This time, the number of monster thieves is huge and their attack is fierce. Not to mention the powerful landlords in Jiangzhou, even the officials and generals of the imperial court, there are many who join them. Everyone has the desire to seek profit and avoid disaster. As civil and military officials, we,

If you can't defend the place and fall into the hands of the demon thieves, you have to force all the powerful landowners and people to die for the Jin Dynasty? This is impossible. Don't force others to do anything. Being forced to join the demon thieves can be forgiven.

What we should do now is to give these rebellious people a chance to turn back, instead of killing them all and letting them resist to the end, and even give the demon thief leaders a chance to escape or take a breather!"

Tan Daoji said coldly: "Master Tao, where do you have the confidence to think that as long as you pardon the demon thieves, those newly attached thieves in the past two years will come back and continue to be good citizens of the Jin Dynasty? They also know that they are attached to the Jin Dynasty.

If you rebel, you will probably have to kill people and stain your blood as evidence of surrender. Can you still turn around?"

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "With this order, plus the fact that we can control places like Jiangzhou, control the families of these rebellious demon thieves, and at the same time give them a chance to be pardoned without questioning, then these thieves will come back in droves.

We have had precedent before. Marshal Liu pardoned him once when he was quelling the Sun En Rebellion, but he did not seek retaliation later. This shows that the Jin Dynasty keeps its word. If Liu Pushe issued this order, it would definitely have an effect. If he issued it,

If we eliminate those who still do not come back after the pardon and will fight to the death with the monster thieves, then we will not arouse any hatred if we eliminate these people. We can even use the powerful landlords who have returned to the court after the pardon to actively eliminate the die-hard landowners.

Those people, let them redeem themselves through meritorious deeds."

Yu Yue suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "This is great, great. This way, we can make these demon thieves fight like dogs and fight them together. This way we don't have to kill them one by one. Well, even if there is hatred, it will be

These thieves have grudges against each other and have nothing to do with us."

Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Tao Gong's move is really very good. This is to follow the example of the Jin Dynasty. When the Southern Crossing was first built, the powerful indigenous families in the east of the Yangtze River separated themselves one after another. At that time, Director Wang designated some people who were not convinced by the king.

They turned the untamed families into rebels and asked other local tycoons to attack them so that they could obtain their land, estates and population, thereby dividing and disintegrating the local forces in Wudi. Finally, these families discovered that in the end they were killing each other, and the land

After all, it fell into the hands of the northern aristocratic family who traveled south."

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "So Wang Xianggong is a great talent. I thought of this genius method. I am just imitating the sages. The amnesty is just to make them feel at ease temporarily. In the future, in order to compete for interests, let them fight each other. That can be done

To effectively consume the vacant land and unowned land, according to the plan of the official school where Liu Pu shot you, and send the officials of the imperial court to manage it, only then can these places be truly brought back to the country and turned into something that the country can

A place with direct control.”

Wang Zhenzhi laughed: "Don't you, Mr. Tao, always want to protect the interests of the gentry, and are the most opposed to the official school promoted by Liu Dashuai and Liu Pushe? Why are you promoting this now?"

Tao Yuanming said coldly: "I think the world should be governed by the gentry, and the gentry should be determined through family traditions and family background. However, now that the world is in chaos, temporary measures need to be taken. Although the official school is governed by the state and the court,

To determine the identity of the nobles, but at least it is better than those powerful landowners who are independent and self-reliant. We must first resolve the chaos and restore management after the war, set things right, and then talk about other things." (End of this chapter)
