The black robe nodded: "On this point, Doupeng and I have already discussed this. If Tianshi Dao is destroyed, then Liu Yu's enemies within the Jin Dynasty include the Sima family who want to retain the imperial power, and some who want to safeguard existing interests.
Among the high-ranking families, including the upper-class scholars, there are generals who want to support their troops and respect themselves, and are not so obedient and obedient to Liu Yu's orders, especially Liu Yi and others.
The generals of other factions led by Ge Changmin, as well as the mid-level and senior officers who have been following them. In addition, there are also those who do not want to fight and just want to live a peaceful life. This includes most ordinary people, but these people individually have little power.
Yes, someone needs to incite and organize them to form a joint force to plead for the people."
The ancestor said softly "Oh": "Isn't this what you, the black-robed Tao Gong, did before? Become a public intellectual and plead for the common people in the world. Don't fight, don't be harsh, don't pay heavy taxes and labor, and be with the people.
Let the people rest and turn conflicts into friendship. However, your rhetoric should have been OK before Liu Yu attacked Nan Yan, but now, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Doupeng shook his head: "Ancestor, my disciples have different views. Liu Yu has been fighting wars in the past few years, causing the people to suffer miserably. Those victories and the newly recovered territories are very important to Liu Yu.
A big achievement bonus, but what good does it do to the common people? No matter at any time, war is a burden that may cost the common people their lives at any time, rather than an honor or benefit."
The ancestor gently shook his head and sighed: "This statement of yours is still from the perspective of a noble family. The kind of rhetoric that rises and falls and everyone suffers, if you want to replace it with the previous generation, there is no problem.
Because the benefits brought by the war, including land, population, and achievements, all benefited the upper class emperors.
, nobles, and for the common people, it is only a few years of immunity at most, but it requires them to fight with their lives and blood and sweat. Of course, the people are not willing. This is also your propaganda all the time. Black-robed Tao Gong, before you
This is also the way to incite people in Jiangbei not to work for Liu Yu."
Heipao smiled slightly and said: "Yes, it had a very good effect at that time, because the first generation of immigrants who developed the six counties in Jiangbei moved there from the family manor in Wudi, Jiangnan. They didn't want to go there at all at first, because there were
The river is the best safety barrier to protect yourself. Although you have to work as a cow and a horse in the family's manor, you have food to eat and your life. As for other benefits,
, for example, becoming a self-cultivated farmer, allocating land by the state, joining the army and being exempted from taxes, etc., it doesn't matter to them, especially the tax exemption. When they were tenants of the aristocratic family, all these taxes were paid by the masters of the aristocratic family.
What does it matter if the land is not your own? Anyway, the land given by the state is also allocated when you become a member, but you need to bear taxes, corvees, and military service, and it is taken back when you retire. Doesn't that mean it is still someone else's property? "
The ancestor sighed: "Black-robed Tao Gong, if this statement of yours were made by anyone else, it would be very convincing, but in this era, under Liu Yu's rule, there is no one in Jiangbei now.
Believing this, people from other places are even vying to go to Jiangbei to become homesteaders, including many Wu
If it were not for the fact that they did not have formal identities, hundreds of thousands of tenants and bankers from local aristocratic families would have flocked to Jiangbei. In other words, in a few years, under the constant war, the six counties of Jiangbei
Instead, it has become a paradise that everyone yearns for, black-robed Tao Gong, haven’t you thought about the reason?”
The face of the black robe changed and he said nothing, while the cloak on the other side slowly said: "Because after Nan Yan was destroyed, the six counties in Jiangbei, which were originally on the front line and unsafe battlefields, have become safe inland.
, there is a large fertile unclaimed land, which can be quickly transformed into a large amount of
Land output, because these places are not that kind of wasteland, but mature land that has been developed for thousands of years. Irrigation and water sources are all available. Now the noble families and noble families collectively go to the north of the Yangtze River to enclose the land and use it.
The military exploits in the Northern Expedition and the battle to pacify Tianshi Dao legally occupied the land there."
"Moreover, over the years, after the Tianshi Dao Rebellion, Wu Di has basically stabilized. In the past twenty years, the population of Wu Di has increased several times, which also includes a large number of people from Jingzhou, Jiangzhou and Yuzhou.
The new rich, so the eight counties of Wudi, which were originally vast and sparsely populated, have become overcrowded. This also requires the original high-ranking families to consider expanding outwards and finding new living space."
The ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Yes, just like the Yu Yue family, they took more than twenty branches of the Yu family and moved collectively to Jingzhou and Jiangzhou, not entirely to avoid disaster, but also to consider
The eight counties of Wudi now have more people and less land, and resources are tight. Instead of staying in the local area and fighting for success with others, it is better to take the initiative to seek change and go to those who have ready-made
With mature land, you can gather grain and raise troops, and let yourself segregate and control areas. Especially this time in the Yuyue War, there were merits and demerits, but if others make a fuss about their faults, then the inherent industry in Wu land may be lost.
If we want to reduce and confiscate a lot of money, we might as well take advantage of the time when we are acting as the governor of Jiangzhou and transfer the family's main industry to other places."
"Not to mention the six counties in Jiangbei. After several years of development, especially in the past few years after the first generation of immigrants, the land has produced a lot of output. The first batch of people who enclosed the land have all made money.
Those who originally did not want to leave the noble family and wanted to remain tenants without having to bear taxes, instead all became yeoman farmers and had no worries about food and clothing. This stimulated the world
Many landless farmers in the country are moving to the six counties in Jiangbei. In normal times, the custom of resettlement and the household registration system restrict the flow of the population. Most of them have never left the 20 radius of the village where they live.
However, the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan made this kind of personnel movement possible. This is probably something you two have been neglecting."
Heipao murmured to himself: "Yes, we have ignored this. At that time, Liu Yu introduced a new policy in the name of needing manpower for the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan, saying that if strong men were recruited to join the army, or were willing to serve on the front line,
The army provided transportation and assisted the civilian workers, and also
You can settle in Jiangbei and allocate land of different sizes according to the size of your contribution. It does not even require the local government or the owner of the manor, that is, the children of the aristocratic family, to issue identity documents like previous population migrations.
