God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 951 Enclosure Movement
Early the next morning, Liang Kai, Yang Cheng and other patriarchs went to Chen Yifa, Huang Meiliao and others to discuss the purchase of land.

The news I got is that the price of buying land today is lower than in the past.

At first, these Patriarchs were furious.

But after a discussion, everyone felt that the current Huxian County was almost doomed. If all the gentry sold their land and moved away, it would definitely turn Huxian County into an empty city, and the people heard the news , I am afraid that they will also sell their properties one after another and stay away from this ruined place. By then, the end of Du He will come.

It was based on this judgment that Liang Kai, Yang Cheng and other gentry finally unanimously decided to sell all the land, including other family properties.

At the same time, they also quickly revealed the news.

The people are blind and without thinking.

When they learned that all the gentry in the county had sold their land and property to flee, they immediately panicked.

All of a sudden, Hu County was in chaos, and everyone was selling things.

Some people even sold their property at a low price, and the price of land also dropped.

In order to avoid accidents, Wei Shuyu, the county magistrate, urgently mobilized the Guancheng Brigade to maintain order.

Several places out of the city were busy, many people dragged their families along, and motorcades went out one after another.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people in the county.

Most of the land and family property went into the hands of the Hu County Development Company.

At the same time, what outsiders don't know is that Ma Zhou of Dream Group has also quietly acquired all the land on both sides of Anhu Avenue, around the farm, near the headquarters of Dream Group, and around the pig farm. The prices of these lands are very low.

Seeing this scene, Wei Shuyu immediately panicked.

If everyone ran away, he, the county magistrate, would definitely not be able to escape the responsibility.

While he sent people to maintain order, and even mobilized people to persuade those who sold their properties and left Hu County, he hurried to find Du He.

When they came to the backyard, they found that Du He and Dai Jinyun were cooking chicken.

Wei Shuyu knew this chicken, it was the beggar's chicken that he had the honor to eat before.

It's just that, after a series of improvements, the beggar's chicken is getting better and better.

I saw Du He "fully armed", doing it himself, calm and calm, as if he didn't care about everything that happened outside.

Wei Shuyu ran forward, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Brother Du, what time is this, you are still cooking chickens here, alas, everyone in Hu County is about to run away! Brother Du, you have to Think about it, brother, I am the magistrate of Hu County now, if this person runs away, the imperial court will definitely blame me, and I cannot escape the blame!"

Du He threw a rooster that had just been dissected to Dai Jinyun, took off the equipment on his body, washed his hands, and then slowly came to the corner of the yard with Wei Shuyu, poured a cup of good tea for Wei Shuyu himself, and asked with a smile: "Brother Wei, I know what you are worried about, but I have a question to ask you. Has everyone in the county run away now?"

Wei Shuyu sat down and shook his head: "That's not true. The subordinates have already found out that the people who ran away this time were mainly nobles and many merchants. However, these people are the pillars of Hu County. If they all run away , then Hu County will be over!"

Du He smiled lightly and said, "That means we still have a lot of people. To put it bluntly, there are more than 1 households in Huxian County, but the real big households are only a few thousand households. The lifeblood of all walks of life in Hu County, and even the land is almost concentrated in their hands, so everyone will take them too seriously... But so what, now the Hu County Development Company has bought all the industries and land After that, the chaos is only temporary. When this incident is completely over, it won't be long before the whole Hu County will recover... As for people, we have plenty. Don't forget, places like Hu County farms and pig farms, There are still many people who have no residence in the county seat, and there are many remote places in Hu County, and these people are still living a poor life in remote and backward places."

Wei Shuyu scratched his head, thought carefully with his limited IQ, and asked, "You mean, let me do nothing?"

Du He waved his hand: "Of course not, the nobles led the people to sell their land and escape. Instead of stopping them, you have to provide convenience for them, do you understand?"

"Oh!"

Wei Shuyu asked in detail how to operate it, and then got up to leave.

His county magistrate, including his title, came from Duhe.

In the bottom of her heart, Wei Shuyu had long obeyed Du He's words.

Even if Du He asked him to eat shit, the first thing he thought about was not whether he could eat it, but how to eat it.

So, after returning, Wei Shuyu immediately mobilized people to help everyone sell the land.

With the intervention of the county government, the Hu County Development Company and Dream Group bought land faster and faster. Later, not only the land, but also the houses in the city could be bought at a low price.

For a time, the entire Hu county was caught in the buying and selling of land.

Of course, it was exactly the same as Du He said.

This time, those who sold their properties and fled were all gentry and rich families, and the people at the bottom, they lived here for generations, their family property was pitiful, once they were sold at a low price, they could only beg for the whole family, it was impossible To gain a foothold in other places, so although everyone was anxious, they had no choice but to envy those who escaped.

early morning.

Changsun Wuji said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, there is news from Huxian County. A few days ago, the Huxian County Development Company began to purchase land on a large scale, causing panic. , it is rumored that there were originally more than 1 households in Huxian County, but in just a few days, more than 2000 households have left. , It’s like an empty city. According to folklore, the people of the Hu County Development Company hold the map of Hu County in their left hand and a brush in their right hand, and draw circles or circles on the map. This piece of land becomes Hu County. The development company, many folks jokingly call it the 'enclosure movement', Your Majesty, this enclosure movement has caused a lot of noise, and Hu County has suffered greatly from it. Now, even Chang'an City has people panicking, and some even spread rumors all over the world. There is going to be great chaos, and this trend cannot last long, please immediately order a thorough investigation of Wei Shuyu, the county magistrate of Huxian County, for his crime of dereliction of duty."

Wang Gui also said: "Your Majesty, the impact of this matter is too bad. The origin of this matter lies in the killing of the Hu County Development Company to buy land. Such actions will destroy the foundation of our Tang Dynasty. As the old saying goes, the imperial court and the The gentry ruled the world together. The gentry is the foundation of our Tang Dynasty. It is with the gentry that the world will be stable. Now, the Hu County Development Company’s move has forced the local gentry to flee. The entire prosperous county has suddenly become an empty city , if the court does not intervene in this matter, it may cause even greater disasters, please think twice, Your Majesty!"
