The world of film and television

Chapter 864
"The matter has come to this point, and we can no longer give up if we want to!" Fatty Liu glanced at everyone, "You are willing to ruin the foundation of your ancestors in your hands!"

"Anyway, I'm not reconciled!"

"Liu Bei's hostility towards our family is deeply rooted in his bones. Just look at his series of actions. First, decentralization, then attacking the status of my family members, deliberately spreading books, making us scholars equal to traffickers and pawns. Now , seems to be just migrating people, but what is the most influential thing?"

Fatty Liu looked around at the crowd and said word by word, "It's land!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone gasped.

"Think about it, without these grassroots people, if we don't want a large amount of land under our name to be abandoned, then we can only give in to Liu Bei and become the laughing stock of scholars from then on, or we can only move away from our homeland, no matter which point , I don’t think it’s what you want to see!”

In today's industrial social system, it is illegal to abandon land. What's more, under the agricultural social system in ancient times, if the land under the name dares to be abandoned, the land will be taken back at least, and the crime will be punished at worst.

In addition, no matter whether you are planting the land or not, you can’t pay less tax. If it was a big man before, it was okay, the control was not strong enough, and tax evasion has become a trend, but now...

Taxation alone can make them aristocratic families unable to eat.

Of course, you can also sell all the land under your name and sell it to the government. After all, Liu Bei said before that he would buy the land from them, but doing so is not much different from moving south. Willing to buy land!
As long as the trend of abandonment becomes [-]%, and Wang Xuan is given an excuse, then they will still be flattened and rounded by Wang Xuan.

"Grand Liu, what do you say, we listen to you!" someone shouted from below.

"Yes, we listen to Mr. Liu!"

Fatty Liu showed a satisfied smile and said loudly: "We are contacting the various families in Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and even Nanyang. When the time comes..."

……

Most of this migration was completed in Jizhou, and a small part was settled in Youzhou. Since they are all well-developed areas, there was not much loss during the migration process.

With the influx of a large number of people into the newly established industrial and mining fields, the progress of all projects has been greatly accelerated, a steady stream of iron ore and coal have been mined, steel has been smelted, and cement has been produced. With Jizhou as the center, various infrastructures began to be laid on a large scale.

The first thing to do was the large-scale paving of roads and the construction of new towns. More than 20 people were involved in this big project.

On this day, Su Shuang, who was in charge of the Commerce Department under Liu Bei's administration, came to his door.

Speaking of Su Shuang, in fact, Su Shuang is also a child of the Su family, but a collateral branch of the Su family.

Su Shuang was smart and eager to learn since he was a child, but due to his background, he was not able to receive the education resources of the Su family, not to mention that the Su family paid a price for him to follow the filial piety system and enter the officialdom, and he entered the Su family as an adult. The caravan, who has outstanding vision and is sophisticated enough in dealing with people, gradually became famous among the caravans and climbed up step by step.

During the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Bei supported Liu Bei. Although he pretended to follow Lu Buwei's allusion of investing in Qin Shihuang, it was actually just a matter of convenience. He didn't really think that Liu Bei, who weaves mats and sells shoes, would really have what he is today.

Unexpectedly, his random actions back then would lead to his current status, and he also used this to completely break away from the original Su family, raising his ambition to establish his own Su family.

"Zai Zhi, the Commerce Department has found some bad signs." Sitting next to Wang Xuan, Su Shuang said with a frown. It is impossible to reverse the inherent cognition of hundreds of years at once, not to mention that this commercial bureau is almost original, and everything is still being explored.

"Oh, what's the problem?" Wang Xuan suddenly became interested, and if he could make the Commercial Department feel that there was a problem, then it would definitely not be small.

"The price of food on the market has risen by [-]%, and the shipment volume has also dropped a lot. The subordinates feel that if this continues, there may be problems."

"Other things, including cattle, sheep, cloth, etc., have experienced different price increases. At the same time, the data reported by various places show that shipments have also decreased in different degrees. What changes will happen, but the subordinates always feel uneasy."

Wang Xuan's eyes flickered a few times, and he probably had a guess in his heart, "What do you think of the Commerce Department on this issue, and tell us the results of your discussion."

"Almost everyone thinks that due to the migration of the population, there is a problem in the autumn harvest, and the food production has declined, which has radiated to the market, which has led to an increase in the price of related products. It is a panic caused by a hard problem. It can be adjusted if some food is transported from the ground." Su Shuang said with a frown.

"Oh, the analysis makes some sense, but I think it's more likely to be a man-made disaster!" Wang Xuan said with a sneer.

"What!?" Su Shuang looked at Wang Xuan in surprise, and suddenly thought of something, "Man-made disaster? Zaizhi means that it was deliberately controlled by aristocratic families in various places? It was caused by deliberately reducing the goods on the market?"

"You say that!" Wang Xuan pouted and continued: "When you were in control of the Su family's business affairs, you should have known the power that the Su family could use. This world is said to be scholars, farmers, businessmen, and farmers. In fact, agriculture, industry and commerce are basically controlled by scholars. It is impossible for mere businessmen to develop and grow, including the Mi family, which is also a local tycoon."

"Therefore, there are very few problems with agriculture, industry and commerce, but once there is any problem as a whole, it must be caused by the aristocratic family." After speaking, Wang Xuan stood up and walked towards the door, "Since they have made another move, let's You can’t stop doing it.”

Under the auspices of Wang Xuan, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Agriculture, and the Taxation Department cooperated with the intelligence department to start an investigation in the whole of Hebei, how much land, what crops were planted, how much was harvested, how much tax should be paid, how much was actually paid, How much stock, stock location, etc.

After half a month, the price of food has nearly doubled, and the prices of other related commodities have also become extremely outrageous for no reason. Since all factories and mines in various places adopt the 'salary' system, without any change in wages, commodity prices The sharp rise has created a lot of panic everywhere.

And the behind-the-scenes masterminds who caused all this are watching with great interest, only waiting for the public grievances to boil, that is the day they take action to turn the tide!
