Chapter 1507 Warm water boiled frog

Wang Laoer sat in Xianyang and dispersed his troops to various places in Guanzhong.

"General, Xinfeng Jiang asked someone to intercede."

The accompanying civil servants found Wang's second child who was eating jerky in the lobby, "Mr. Jiang said that their family is somewhat related to Mr. Luo's family. Please let Mrs. Jiang go."

Wang Laoer chewed the jerky, his well-developed chewing muscles bulged, and he looked particularly ferocious.

He swallowed the jerky, stared and said, "Luo Cai?"

"Yes!"

The official nodded, thinking that only this great general dared to call Luo Cai by his name so loudly.

Now Liu Qing and Luo Cai have high positions and powers, and they are the leaders of the court.It is mentioned that the two of them should either bring titles or official positions, and lastly, you have to bring a duke.

Wang Laoer took out a piece of jerky, and asked slowly: "Do you think this country belongs to His Majesty, or Luo Cai?"

The official was taken aback, "Of course it belongs to His Majesty."

"The country belongs to His Majesty, but whose taxes are those?"

"Your Majesty said that taxes... belong to His Majesty." The official became more and more afraid of what shocking words the Lord would say.

"Since it is His Majesty's tax, let alone Luo Cai's relatives, even Luo Cai's Aye has to pay the tax!"

Wang Lao Er patted the case table, "Whoever digs the corner of His Majesty's wall, yeah, he will dig his head. Spread the word!"

"Yes!"

You don't have to believe what other people say, but you must believe what Wang Lao Er said.

Everyone was frightened by the news, but the cleaning speed was unexpectedly much faster.

Carts of money and food were being pulled to the Chang'an household department, behind which were powerful families crying.

"Dark Lord!"

"Da Tang Guozuo is over!"

"This foolish king will die a terrible death!"

The two plainclothes brocade guards were squatting in a certain restaurant, listening to a group of family heads in the next room yelling at the emperor.

"How about grabbing it?"

"Forget it, Concubine Li said it, Your Majesty said it, and you won't lose a piece of meat if you get scolded. At least, most people in the world are praising me, that's enough!"

The whole pass boiled again.

……

"Those people who have been born abroad have nothing to do at the moment. They don't need so many people to work. They can only emigrate to the Southern Zhou Dynasty and the North. But many people are unwilling to leave their hometown. There are many such people in Chang'an City. They find a way out."

Chen Hua was at Yang's house, advising Yang Xinxiang.

"This time, that evil species once again attacked the Guanzhong family. I don't know how many families dared to resist."

Yang Xinxiang shook his head, "The heads of the people who were killed last time are rolling. Now, no one dares to move."

"Lang Jun."

The steward came in with a pale face.

"Needless to say." Yang Xinxiang said calmly: "In the end it was my turn to wait for the family. How much should be paid, give them!"

Chen Hua praised; "Mr. Yang is tolerant."

Yang Xinxiang shook his head, and said, "Although the Yang family is not short of these money and food, it will also hurt the muscles and bones. And those fields are left there, no longer produce every year, and become a burden..."

Chen Hua's body shook.

"not good!"

"You just thought of it?" Yang Xinxiang shook his head, "The Yang family can sustain it, but [-]% of the powerful families in Guanzhong can't. The only way for them is to sell the land and get money for business."

"Those servants who were born abroad were waiting for the emperor to arrange in Chang'an, but the emperor ignored them. What he was waiting for was this moment!" Chen Hua's face turned pale.

"You're smart, but compared to that bastard, you lack a lot of experience." Yang Xinxiang said flatly.

Chen Hua carefully recalled the emperor's series of methods.

"He first forced the slaves from all over the country to come out of the country, cutting off the possibility of rebellion by the rich and powerful. Then he watched those people put their crops on hold. That's right! You can do whatever you want with your own fields. But once the taxes are paid, Make those people feel embarrassed..."

Aristocratic families have accumulated a lot, but a lot of accumulation cannot be exchanged for money and food for a while.

"The fields have become tasteless, and holding them is useless. The only way is to sell the fields. And with so many fields sold together, how low will the land price in Guanzhong be suppressed?"

Yang Xinxiang's ability to take charge of the Yang family depends on more than blood.

"Those servants...have no money!" Chen Hua said.

"You forgot one thing." Yang Xinxiang said: "This old man just thought of it." He smiled wryly: "When that evil seed was in northern Xinjiang, every spring it would lend money to farmers who had no money to buy seeds, and , is interest-free. It will only be returned after harvesting. What did you think of?"

"He... he will lend money to those farmers who are not registered to buy land!"

Many powerful families have thought of this.

But there is no way, they can only hang out the fields.

……

After breakfast that day, the emperor brought Liu Qing and others to the household department.

Cao Ying was so slow that she just led people out to greet her, the emperor waved her hand, "Buy you guys!"

Cao Ying turned around to let the crowd disperse, and stayed by the emperor's side.

"How was the harvest?" asked the emperor.

Cao Ying pointed at her old face, "People in the household department say that the minister's face has been flushed recently, as if he has taken too much rejuvenation pill, which is a great tonic! This is also the case in the household department. The recent mends almost bleed from the seven orifices!"

Lao Cao is a little incoherent, which shows that this time he has gained a lot.

"The wealth of the world is in Guanzhong, and the wealth in Guanzhong is in the rich and powerful. This time, 20 years of taxes have been obtained, Your Majesty, where do you want to fight?"

Cao Ying said very grandly: "I guarantee that there will be no shortage of money and food!"

"It seems that the household department has sent it!"

The emperor smiled and said, "There is something for you to do here."

"Your Majesty ordered."

If Yiniang saw Cao Ying's current appearance, she would definitely say hell, it looks like Lao Cao has changed.

Everyone will be reluctant to change themselves, only under pressure.

Cao Ying was thrown in the Ministry of Households by the emperor, and seemed to be of great use, but everyone knew that if it weren't for his faults back then, he would have been one of the two prime ministers.

But Cao Ying is not too old.

In the future, there will be opportunities to pay homage to the prime minister.

This is what drives him to make a change.

The emperor was happy to see it happen.

"Recently, land is being sold everywhere in Guanzhong, and the money is quite large. Many people want to sell..." The emperor's eyes darkened, "especially some upstarts, and those rich people."

The word upstart shocked Cao Ying.

The so-called upstarts refer to those courtiers who followed the emperor.

"If you have fame and wealth, you want to have land. With land, you can pass on your family and strengthen your family business." The emperor said coldly: "After many years, there will be another group of powerful families. What are they thinking? Thinking about my future No emperor dares to be so tough on the powerful clan?"

Cao Ying nodded, "Your Majesty, people's hearts are for profit, who wouldn't want to be the second Yingchuan Yang family!"

"A thousand-year-old family!" The emperor said mockingly: "I said at the beginning that there will be no such aristocratic family in the future. It seems that those people have ignored it."

Someone is going to be unlucky.

Cao Ying thought about it. Among the people from the Northern Xinjiang lineage, perhaps [-]% of them are buying land like crazy.

"In my name, take over all those fields." The emperor ordered: "It doesn't matter if there are people fighting, let them go."

But who dares to fight with you!
Cao Ying immediately asked people to handle the matter.

The sale of land is handled by a middleman, and the so-called middleman is an intermediary that bridges the gap between the two parties.

They listed the location, number, quality, and price of the fields in the East and West Market, waiting for buyers to bargain.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the fields in Guanzhong became sweet pastries, and the royal family took a lot of them themselves, and rewarded a lot of heroes... Those upstarts mopped up a lot.

After hundreds of years of development, there is no spare inch of fields in Guanzhong.In other words, you can't find a place to buy it if you want to buy it.

This is called price without market.

But now a large number of fields have been listed, and the price is extremely low.

The rich people in Guanzhong flocked to move...

They came from all over the place at high speed, and the military horses that delivered the news were all pulled behind by them.

Early in the morning, hundreds of people gathered outside the market.

As soon as the gate opened, these people went straight to the block of buying and selling fields.

The Chinese were surrounded as soon as they took their positions.

"These old men want it."

"I want this thousand acres of land."

"..."

What is the purpose of a businessman?
Maximize the benefits.

Seeing so many people coming, the middlemen were secretly happy, and immediately assumed the attitude of a seller's market.

"The highest bidder gets it!"

Those people raised their hands and raised their prices.

"Cough cough!"

Someone on the outside coughed dryly, "Make way!"

"Don't squeeze!"

"Make way!"

More than ten big men cleared the way and escorted a man to the front.

"The old man pays [-] yuan!"

cried a paunchy rich man, holding up fat hands with rings set with precious stones.

"Twenty thousand dollars!"

The price is a bit high!

Everyone took a deep breath.

The man looked at everyone with disdain, "Who else wants to bid?"

"Cough cough!"

Someone beside me coughed, "Me."

"You? How much can you pay?" The rich man sneered, "This old man is one more money than you!"

This is money pressure.

Also with some humiliating meaning.

The visitor looked to be in his thirties, and...

"It's an alien!"

The rich man was overjoyed, "Is this to tease me?"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed, but a few rich people didn't laugh.Not only did he not smile, but his face was ugly.

"Uda?"

The visitor was delighted, "Who knows me?"

"Who is Uda?" asked the rich man.

Those rich men took a deep breath, and one of them cupped his hands, "May I ask how much land Commander Wu wants to buy?"

Uda looked at those brands, "All of them!"

Those people smiled wryly and cupped their hands.

"So, I wait for those who don't know to be innocent?"

Uda nodded, "I bought it, return it!"

"Yes!"

Several people seem to have received amnesty.

The rich thought it was wrong, and when they found out that the middle-aged people who were whispering looked at Wu Da with awe, they also panicked.

"The nobleman is..."

The rich man probed.

Uda said: "We... bah! How did you learn such a tone from those bastards. I work in the palace."

"In the palace..."

"Yes, in the palace."

Uda pointed to the signs and said, "I want all of these. Who objects?"

In July of the first year of Yongde, the emperor made a move and swept the cultivated land market.

Immediately, it will be sold to farmers who are registered at the lowest price.And provide interest-free loans...

Those farmers were grateful and kowtowed outside the imperial city, shouting long live His Majesty.

And the emperor stood on the palace wall and said: "I boiled the frogs in warm water. Now it seems that this pot is almost cooked."
