229 The Strongest Backing

During this gap period when they are almost cut off from all contact with the outside world, if they complete the dismantling of the old system and the establishment of a new system in Yuyang County, they will not be affected by external forces.

By the time the snow melts and the road is opened, all external forces will be powerless.

Xu Yue frowned, vaguely worried, "Gongsun Zan is a person of this era after all. Even if he hates these powerful families who occupy a lot of resources and are unwilling to contribute money and effort, is it possible for him to stand with the people at the bottom?"

But this time, Gongsun Zan seemed to have no choice.

In other words, even if he does not consider the people at the bottom, but only considers his current predicament, he must take this convenient channel.

If you take things from the Xu family, you have to be rewarded. What Xu Da wants is very simple, which is to satisfy her mother-in-law's purpose of overthrowing the landlords, dividing the land, and liberating productivity.

When he heard Xu Da's request, Gongsun Zan was confused for a moment. Xu Gong, are you sure you are not helping me?

Yuyang County belongs to the wealthy group in the entire Youzhou.

Even if we look at the entire Daqing Thirteen Prefectures, they are still at an average level.

But that's all, even if Shanggu and Bohai counties were added, it would be difficult for Gongsun Zan to compete in the Central Plains.

Therefore, when necessary, Gongsun Zan decided to follow Xu Da's advice and use necessary means to attack a group of powerful men.

The first to bear the brunt was the Zheng family, who refused to pay anyone to restore road traffic during the snowstorm.

Gongsun Zan was probably crazy because of his poverty. He simply accused the Zheng family of several crimes and ransacked the Zheng family in one day. They killed everyone and exiled everyone.

All the gold, silver, money, cloth and grain obtained were confiscated, and all the remaining land was given to the tenants, and the tenants were given household registration.

A careful calculation shows that starting from this year, hundreds of new households will pay taxes to the government.

This is much more tax than the Zheng family can pay.

However, just as Gongsun Zai and Xu Da were delighted by this and were sharpening their swords to attack the next local tycoon, these tycoons suddenly reacted and each began to actively participate in the task of rebuilding the city.

This depressed the two of them quite a bit. After all, there were hundreds of new households missing.

At that time, Wang suggested behind the scenes that we should just stop doing nothing and take advantage of this general trend to directly uproot all the landowners in Yuyang County and establish a brand new system.

If Gongsun Zan agrees, she will regard him as a new partner and will give her full support.

But both Xu Yue and Xu Da knew that this was impossible.

Regardless of whether it is Xu Da's analysis of the pros and cons from the perspective of those in power, or Xu Yue's scientific analysis of social production relations, it is completely impossible to complete this step based on their current strength.

"We don't have absolute force to suppress it, nor do we have the necessities that can greatly improve the lives of the people. When the time comes, neither side will be able to make peace, so for everyone, it is better to maintain the status quo." Xu Yue analyzed it seriously to A Niang.

In the past, it was Wang who analyzed various situations and coping methods for the children at home.

Now it's actually the other way around. This is the first time such a scene has appeared in the Xu family.

But Wang, who had changed her role, was listening to her daughter's analysis very seriously.

Because she was vaguely aware that not all of the things in her mind that were too advanced were suitable for the current environment.

Xu Yue told the story of the historical turning point that really happened in her original world. That dark and humiliating history is basically the same as what the people of Daqing are facing now.

It's just that there has been no foreign invasion in Daqing yet, but it is not difficult to see that if the current situation continues to develop, this will be the difficulty that Daqing will encounter next.

Gu Liang

The chaos of the Wuhu Dynasty was clearly written in the history books. Xu Yue would get chills down her spine every time she thought about how she was going to go through this period of history.

This is why she desperately wants to change the world.

Xu Yue once again reiterated the necessity of hybrid rice and the importance of basic material support.

Then he said: "Auntie, we need support from at least one party, one is the powerful people of the current era, and the other is the people at the bottom who want to live a happy life."

"If we want to gain the support of powerful people, then obviously we have to follow their customized system."

"By abiding by their rules, we can also get benefits, become superior to others, and live the life we ​​want. After all, we are in the exploiting class, or the advanced exploiting class below one person. We should have many choices. ..."

However, Xu Yue hadn't even finished her words. Just as Xu Dalian nodded, Wang suddenly stood up and said firmly:

"What I want is freedom! It's personal rights! No one is allowed to infringe!"

Xu Da was stunned, "What is personal rights?"

He had never heard this word before, but looking at Wang's seriousness at this moment, he felt the solemnity brought by this word.

Xu Yue replied: "It is a human right."

Xu Da nodded, somewhat understanding, but not completely. Perhaps, there should be only one kind of human being in this world, instead of emperors, slaves, and landlords.

Even though Xu Da was joking and looking calm, when his boss ordered him in a matter-of-fact tone, he still couldn't help but curse the other person secretly.

If reality hadn't allowed it, he might have killed the person who bossed him around.

Xu Yue continued: "If we don't want the support of the powerful, then we have to get the support of the broad masses of the people, and if we want to get their support, we have to give them benefits."

“What people here most urgently want is not human rights or property, but they want to have enough to eat.”

"They will follow whoever gives them enough food. This has been the case since ancient times."

"Only with the support of the broad masses, will the new system we want to build be supported. With the support of these people, we can defeat the very few who hold power with the majority."

Having said this, Xu Yue felt that her father and mother should have already understood.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang sat down and sighed.

But she quickly cheered up and said to Xu Yue: "I will send someone to find rice for you!"

No farmer would be interested in hybrid rice with a yield of at least 600 kilograms per mu!

Xu Da also said that he would use his current power to cast a wide net and try to find Xu Yue the rice seeds she needs as soon as possible.

But this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It is more likely that a family of five will not be able to collect all three kinds of rice seeds in their lifetime.

Therefore, we cannot focus solely on hybrid rice.

Wang got up and went back to her room to write a letter to Gongsun Zan asking him how the ship was built and whether he encountered any difficulties.

After all, she didn't learn physics for nothing.

And Xu Da also set out to discuss with Gongsun Zan how to conquer the Central Plains.

Whether he can succeed or not is not important. What is important is that he must cater to Gongsun Zan now, borrow power from him, and be the strongest backing for his family.
