Seeing that Wang Yue was not crazy, Father Wang quickly persuaded him, "Even so, we can just slowly accumulate strength, and we don't have to share the land and property, right? This world is still the world of aristocratic families. If you do this, you will be offended."
The entire aristocratic family has lost the opportunity to dominate the world."
Wang Yue sighed, and then said word by word, "The equal land tax is to take back all the fields to the state, that is, all the fields are ours, and then we will farm them directly for the people, without having to go through the gentry to exploit them. We have the people supporting us.
, what are you afraid of?"
Father Wang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and then said disdainfully, "This policy of yours was something that bastard Wang Mang did before. What was the result in the end? Not only did it offend all the aristocratic families, but also those who had obtained
Even the people who benefit from it don’t understand it. In the end, you end up being cut into pieces, so why bother with it? Isn’t it better to be your own person and master?”
Wang Yue had a black line on his forehead. He didn't know how to evaluate the failed time traveler, but he still wanted to persuade him, so he said seriously, "Dad, you can tell your conscience, most of Wang Mang's
Whether the policy could indeed solve the problems at that time, it was just that the people he sent to implement it were from aristocratic families, which led to problems during implementation."
Father Wang saw that Wang Yue was determined to do this. He also knew in his heart that if no changes were made, Qingzhou would not have the strength to dominate the world, and at most it would just stay in a corner.
He hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "In this case, I will hand over Taishan County to you tomorrow. All the wealthy families there have moved elsewhere. There is no problem in whatever you do. If you do
If the effect is good, it will not be too late to implement it throughout Qingzhou."
When Wang Yue saw what Mr. Wang said, he felt very helpless. After all, he was not in charge, so it was really troublesome to get things done.
So, he reluctantly returned home, met with his mother and Liu Yuru, and then hosted a banquet at the best restaurant in Langya City for the Gu family and the Ye family, as well as Chen Xun's Chen family and Yang Wenchang's Yang family.
If he wants to govern Taishan County, he also needs people to govern it. Just as Wang Wang is worried, although ordinary people have benefited, most of them are illiterate. Apart from joining the army, they cannot be of much help to him.
After receiving Wang Yue's invitation, Mr. and Mrs. Ye, Gu Minglang and his wife, Chen Xun, Yang Wenchang and their parents all came.
After Wang Yue enthusiastically asked several people to sit down, and after Liu Yuru filled a cup of tea for everyone, he began to talk about the purpose of today.
His purpose was very simple, that is, he wanted to invite the Ye and Gu families to send people to Taishan County with him. The Gu family was of course responsible for business, while the Ye family was responsible for helping him set up an academy to educate the people and publicize his plan.
As for the Chen family and the Yang family, he hoped that young people from the two families could serve as officials and work for him in Taishan County.
Facing Wang Yue's personal invitation, none of the family members had any objection and agreed. Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang even followed Wang Yue's orders directly.
Originally, these four families had no roots in Qingzhou, and they only relied on Wang Yue. Now that Wang Yue is going to Taishan County, of course they need to follow Wang Yue's pace.
The Ye family sent Mr. Ye, a well-known person in the family, to serve as a scholar. He took the family's children to Taishan County to set up a county college, allowing students in Taishan County to study for free, and at the same time promoting Wang Yue's plan to equalize land wealth.
Since Gu Jiusi was away and Gu's father and mother needed to take care of business in Langya, the Gu family asked some more loyal and arithmetic guys, led by Mr. Nie, to help Wang Yue sort out his finances and some statistical matters.
In addition to these two people, the Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang families also sent some of the few knowledgeable people in their clan to work for Wang Yue.
Wang Yue did not reject anyone who came to him. In addition to sending Yang Wenchang to the Navy, he also left Liu Yuru in Langya County, and took more than 10,000 elite soldiers to escort the soldiers sent by several companies.
people, went to Taishan County together.
The primary purpose of his visit was to recruit all the bandits arranged by Father Wang here, and then use the troops in his hands to carry out land equalization in Taishan County.
He was originally the son of the governor, and those bandits obeyed the orders of Father Wang, so after knowing Wang Yue's order, they led all the troops down the mountain without hesitation.
So, not long after Wang Yue arrived in Taishan County, his 10,000 soldiers and horses instantly turned into 100,000, which was simply more than the soldiers and horses of a state.
It was really difficult to raise so many soldiers and horses in one county. Wang Yue immediately implemented his plan. All the land in Taishan County was owned by the government. After re-measurement, the land was divided according to head. If there were people in the family who joined the army, they could
The additional land acquired and the remaining land were used for military reclamation.
Of course, in addition to ensuring half of the standing army training, Wang Yue's remaining troops went to various places in Taishan District to build bridges and pave roads to ensure transportation in various places. They also built canals to ensure that the fertile fields in the territory could be fully irrigated.
At the same time, Wang Yue built many workshops in Taishan Army to produce a lot of daily necessities, and gave some local big families some selling rights, so that these big families could purchase goods in the workshops to make up for the land they donated.
subsequent losses.
These big families were originally dissatisfied with Wang Yue's arrogant behavior, and even sent people to the Qingzhou Office to find Father Wang. However, Father Wang deliberately hid, saying that he was inspecting the prefectures and counties within the territory, and that was it.
Buying time for Wang Yue.
After obtaining the right to sell, these families quickly made profits, and they no longer felt dissatisfied with Wang Yue.
In fact, they also know that doing business is very profitable, but doing business is risky after all and is not as stable as land.
Now that Wang Yue's stable supply of goods can ensure that their family continues to make profits, they feel relieved and accept the conditions given by Wang Yue.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If one day Wang Yue's side fails, they will be able to use the money they earned to buy land, so there is no need to follow them stubbornly.
Wang Yue competes.
…
Time goes by like this. Several months have passed. Wang Yue's military reclamation has already had a good harvest. Coupled with the grain harvested from various places, Taishan County has become a poor county, and the people have no worries about food and clothing.
As for the part of the Qingzhou Navy that Wang Yue was in charge of, Father Wang did not take back the navy, and since Taishan County did not need the navy now, he sent the navy to Yangzhou. Later, Yang Wenchang, a local, accompanied him to assist Liu Tong in judging the situation.
Guard the eastern part of Yangzhou.
This continued for several months. Not only did Wang Shanquan fail to capture the eastern part of Yangzhou, but even the navy in his western camp was completely wiped out.
Without the help of the navy, Wang Shanquan had nothing to do with Liu Tongpan. When he saw that the western part of Yangzhou under his rule was beginning to be agitated, he could only send troops to suppress it, and he had no energy to deal with Liu Tongpan.
Liu Tongpuan listened to Wang Yue's suggestion, which was to resolutely oppose Wang Shanquan and send troops to harass without hesitation so that Wang Shanquan could not destroy those families who were dissatisfied with him.
These families originally had some private soldiers. If they sent too few, they would not be able to capture them. If they sent too many, Liu Tong would besiege Wei and rescue Zhao.
After being so busy for several months, Xiyangzhou controlled by Wang Shanquan is still unstable. Many families are secretly colluding with Liu Tongpan. If Wang Shanquan was not afraid of ruining everything, these families might have rebelled long ago.
At this time, King Liang's troops came from Jingzhou and swept through the Yongliang area and most of Yuzhou near Dongdu, and their sphere of influence approached Yanzhou.
Coupled with the flooding of the Yellow River in the past two years and the perennial disasters in Bingzhou, Yanzhou, and Jizhou, many places have experienced no harvest, and many people have begun to flee with their families.
Nowadays, the transportation in Yizhou is inconvenient, and there are constant disputes in Yangzhou. There are only two places where refugees can escape, one is Youzhou and the other is Qingzhou.
Although there was no drought in Youzhou in the north, they had already accepted many refugees from Jizhou and really had no money to support more people.
As for Qingzhou, because Wang Yue had prepared in advance, he not only had enough food in Taishan County, but also set up many porridge sheds and temporary residences. He would accept all the refugees who came to Taishan County.
After the screening and verification were completed, a portion of the land was left to be allocated, and most of the rest was sent back to Qingzhou for Father Wang to distribute to various counties for digestion.
…
On this day, Wang Yue was looking at the accounts in the government office. Suddenly Wang San ran over. He said with a smile, "Master, someone from the Gu family is here again."
Wang Yue was stunned when he heard this, and asked with some confusion, "Who did the Gu family send again? Who else in their family can be more powerful than Lao He?"
When Wang San saw what Wang Yue said, he had to admire him. The old man He was only in charge of the Gu family's accounts. After being brought here by Wang Yue, he directly took charge of Taishan County's accounts. He was still able to manage it very well.
, he couldn't help but be impressed.
So he was very interested in the new person sent by the Gu family, so he quickly smiled and said, "It's shopkeeper He. He came to Taishan County with several other shopkeepers."
Wang Yue was stunned when he heard this. He asked with some confusion, "Didn't this shopkeeper He go to Youzhou with Gu Jiusi? Why did he come back suddenly?"
Wang San was stunned for a moment. He didn't know this, so he was embarrassed and said, "I didn't ask about this either. Master, should I go ask and report back later, or should I just ask Shopkeeper He to come over?"
Wang Yue didn't know if Shopkeeper He had taken Gu Jiusi's order to come to him for something, so he didn't want to be in trouble and said directly, "Then let him in quickly."
After hearing Wang Yue's words, Wang San ran out without hesitation, and soon walked in with shopkeeper He and others.
Shopkeeper He came in and bowed to Wang Yue, and then said respectfully, "Chief Wang, we have come to join you specially, and we ask you to arrange a position for us."
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion, "What happened to you in Youzhou? What happened to my third brother?"
Shopkeeper He sighed and said helplessly, "Provincial Governor Wang may not know that the world is in chaos now, and Youzhou has accepted too many refugees, but there is not so much food to support, and many people are hungry. My young master is kind,
He donated all the family property that he had moved to Youzhou, and then asked us to come to Taishan to find work for Governor Wang."
When Wang Yue heard this, he asked suspiciously, "Did it all get donated? What position did this prodigal son change to?"
Shopkeeper He smiled helplessly, and then explained, "My young master donated his property to General Zhou and changed his position to a police officer. He said that he wanted to be an official, so it would be better to start from the grassroots level. This way
It is safer to take it one step at a time."
Wang Yue was noncommittal about this. He didn't have anything to do here now. Only the workshops he was running didn't have a suitable leader. After thinking about it, he arranged for Shopkeeper He to go there.
As for the other shopkeepers, he didn't keep them, but sent people to the Gu family to let them make their own arrangements.
None of these shopkeepers had any objections to this. After all, in their opinion, it would be better to follow an old club like the Gu family than to follow a strange boss like Wang Yue.
Wang Yue didn't know this. These people he had arranged were going back to the Qingzhou Administrative Office. He was planning to find his father and get Pingyuan County and Jinan County into his hands.
In the past few months, his place has developed extremely rapidly, but Pingyuan County has been affected by the refugees, and there have been several armed fights. Even Jinan County has been implicated by them.
Many people were worried about the chaos and moved their families to Beihai County. The remaining people who had not left were also panic-stricken.
Wang Yue felt that all the big families in these places had moved away, leaving only a few small families, and those in his hands had to be obedient.
But what he didn't expect was that when he went to see his father, his father was more generous than he thought and directly handed the governor's palm prints into his hands.
When Wang Yue saw this scene, he asked with some doubts, "Dad, you won't test me with this, will you?"
Father Wang snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Okay, you are the only son in our family, and no one is competing with you for this position. Now, since you can take the lead, you can manage the chaotic Taishan County."
It’s so good, I can go fishing at the beach with peace of mind.”
When Wang Yue heard what Father Wang said, he quickly flattered him and said, "What kind of fish are you fishing for? Why don't you go to Langya Country? My attention lately may be on the west and north."
Seeing what Wang Yue said, Father Wang was not fooled at all, so he said very dissatisfied, "You want to ask me, an old man, to do something that offends the elders of the clan while you are in charge of your own affairs. How can you calm down?"
What kind of heart do you have?"
Wang Yue was a little embarrassed when he saw through it. Seeing that Father Wang was unwilling to help, he didn't force it and returned to Taishan County with the seal.
After returning, he temporarily handed over Taishan County to Chen Xun, and took the 80,000 elites he trained to the Qingzhou Army Camp.
As for why Chen Xun, a young man, was not given to someone else with better abilities, it was entirely because the boy was obedient.
