The rebirth of God's boss

Chapter 845 Old Man Fan

"How can we take down this Chu family? At the very least, we must curb their rapid development, otherwise they will sooner or later become a serious problem for Song Dynasty." Fan Zeng said.

Wei Yu smiled wryly and said, "Isn't there still a lot of confidantes in Song Dynasty now? I heard that there is a lot of trouble in Anxia recently. Your Majesty can no longer control those aristocratic families. They even dare to question His Majesty's decision in court. I even want to change the emperor."

"That old fellow Dong Weichen is simply inhuman." As soon as Wei Yu mentioned the Great Song Dynasty Hall, Fan Zeng's anger was drawn out.

Cao Jinhu held the tea bowl in his hand and didn't speak. Anyway, no matter how Chaotang changed, he was too far away from him.As long as he can protect himself and his family.He didn't want to be a fool like Long Yun Fucheng, and die in the city, it's just a sick mind.

The whole family is buried with Long Yun, how much can the emperor give him as a pension?

Pity for so many people in his family.It is said that there are a total of twelve children, and the youngest is only four months old.

"The king of Yaoshan County told me that he also has a group of warriors. Although the number is not large, there are still five thousand. If General Guo sends troops to pull out the big cancer of the Chu family first, he is willing to sacrifice all the warriors in his hand. .” Fan Zeng took a deep breath before exiting.

"Is he stupid? The Chu family has hundreds of thousands in the army alone." Wei Yu said weakly.

"Although the Chu family has an army of hundreds of thousands, they still have their own territory and need soldiers to suppress it everywhere. Therefore, if they can really fight, it is estimated that there are only 20 to [-]. After all, when the army moves, food and grass are piled up. Will be consumed quickly.

With so many people under Chu's rule, how could they afford too many soldiers? "Fan Zeng said with confidence.

Wei Yu directly shook his head.

"You have been deceived. The king of Gaoshan County is using you as a gun, and maybe he also added General Guo of Guo Zhanqi." Wei Yu said, "Let's give a simple example. I am outside Anhua City, and I have four 20-mu Dazhuangzi.

All of them are planted with grain, and seven to eight million catties of grain can be easily produced a year.

Coupled with other omnivores, it is easy enough for me to raise a hundred thousand troops. "

Wei Yu glanced at Fan Zengdao who looked envious. "But on the same land, the Chu family's grain yield is more than two times higher than mine. That is to say, I can harvest at most 800 million catties of grain a year, but others can harvest 800 million catties of grain, or more than Two million catties of grain.

It's okay to harvest more grain per mu than I do, who made the Chu family famous in mainland China for having many Lingzhi husbands.But this family has seriously crushed me in terms of the area where all kinds of food are grown.Similar to the big Zhuangzi outside the city of Anhuafu, I still have seven or eight in other places.But the Chu family's grain planting area on both sides of the barren river alone exceeds forty or fifty times that of my place.This number is still growing rapidly every year.According to my investigation, the Chu family has risen for ten years and has never stopped farming in the past ten years.

The family also encourages land reclamation, and the amount of land reclamation is also used as one of the evaluation criteria for the promotion of officials within the family.

I heard that their family has almost developed the land and hillsides near the city in Xianyang, Miryang, and Changyang.At present, it is constantly reclaiming wasteland in the depths of Xiongshan Mountain. "

Both Cao Jinhu and Fan Zengqi were moved, and gasped.

"This family, it's too..." Fan Zeng didn't know what to say for a while.

"Besides, the Chu family, don't wait for us. Once large-scale land reclamation is carried out, the imperial court will ask us to give up the land reclamation action. After all, there are too many farmlands to be opened up, so it is easy for the local area to have the strength to raise troops.

But the Chu family didn't have this restriction, they opened up wasteland unscrupulously. "Wei Yuxiao's eyes were full of envy and hatred.

"Another one, if we organize the people and the nobles to open up wasteland, most of the land will definitely be in the hands of the nobles in the end. The nobles have a tax-free quota. So even if we open up wasteland on a large scale, the food tax we can collect in the end will not increase much. Even Maybe even less. In the end, the fruit was completely cheaper than other nobles.

But the Chu family has no nobles, or their own tax exemption.As long as you own the land, you have to pay taxes.It doesn't matter whether you are a mountain, fertile land, or a lake.As long as it is in your name, you have to pay taxes.The clansmen even have to give priority to paying taxes, but anyone who discloses food tax will be divided by three times the heavy penalty.

Because of the severe punishment, almost no one in the Chu family refused to pay the grain tax.Their own medicine tax can be replaced by food. "

Fan Zeng and Cao Jinhu were speechless after hearing this.

"So there may be management problems in their family, but there will definitely be no shortage of food in a short period of time." Wei Yu said. "I heard that every city, town, and village has large warehouses to store grain. There are still many such large warehouses."

"Aren't they afraid of being robbed?" Fan Zeng was puzzled. "Didn't the Xichang cavalry ever think of running to dig their big warehouse?"

"It's not that easy. The Chu Clan's fringe areas have always been heavily guarded. Besides, the Chu Clan's territories are all in the mountains. There are very few flat lands, so it's not suitable for Xichang cavalry to operate at all." Wei Yu said.

The Chu family's site is surrounded by big mountains, one after another, even if there are some plains in the middle, they are full of hills and hills.These large and small hills may grow into mountains again at some point.

This terrain is suitable for the growth of many kinds of herbs, but it is not very suitable for human survival.Just to say that visiting relatives in two villages may have to climb several mountains, how difficult it is to walk.

"Is this why the Xichang cavalry just fought with them once, and then turned to attack us again?" Cao Jinhu asked in a bad mood.

Wei Yu nodded.

"From Anxi, Anbei, Zhangyu to our Anhua, all the way is a flat area suitable for large-scale cavalry mobile warfare. If there is no Anhua City with towering and generous walls, I would not dare to squat here."

"I remember that the Changyang area, Fengyang, and Yuyang areas were also written on the plains." Fan Zeng said doubtfully.

"It's also a plain now, but the plain over there is not very flat. There are too many hills." Wei Yu said.

"Why do I feel that you are too familiar with the Chu family?" Fan Zeng looked at Wei Yu with unfriendly eyes, "And you are too ambitious for others, and you have destroyed your own prestige. I heard what you said inside and outside, and you are talking about the Chu family. Powerful and invincible.

Don't you want to surrender to the Chu family? "

"There are still many people in my family in Anxia and the southeast region." Wei Yu said speechlessly.

"This is a troubled time, what is it to betray a family?" Fan Zeng snorted coldly.

"Why don't you, Master Fan, betray me first and set an example?" Wei Yu straightened his face and got angry.

If you doubt me so much, just doubt me, and encourage me to betray the family.This old man Fan really has a bad conscience.
