I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 283 The coordinated development of military and commerce

Fan Jin had no time to dodge, and in full view of everyone, his head flew off his neck, and blood sprayed on his brother Fan Zhu's face.

Fanzhu's pupils shrank and he knelt down on the spot.

"The Fan family colluded with the Wei thieves to fight against the imperial court and the Yi people!"

Guan Tong shouted loudly, and the Han troops behind him rushed in one after another.

On this day, the Fanjia, the largest family in Xiangyang County, heard shrill wails.

It was not until the afternoon that the heads of Fan Jin and Fan Zhu were delivered to Li Heng.

Dong Hong hurriedly walked in and handed over the last document: "The property statistics have been completed. The Fan family owns 500,000 acres of land in Xiangyang County."

"Five million acres of land?" Li Heng confirmed, thinking he heard wrongly.

At that time, the family of Dan Cheng, one of the Nine Qings of the Jihan Dynasty, acquired 100,000 acres of land.

As for the Zhao family's land in Tianshui, northwest, it is not as large as the Fan family.

It is summer now, when the wheat in Xiangyang is ripe.

In the afternoon of that day, the Wenxuan camp in the Han army became more active than ever.

"We are king masters, there is no reason to lie."

"According to the Da Han Tian Fu, one will be drawn out of thirty!"

Aristocratic families usually choose to harvest a batch of grain at this time.

"Is it enough to pay a small portion of the food to the court?"

"The aristocratic family's fields have been distributed to the common people, so where are the tenants?"

A group of people immediately became excited: "From now on, we can plant the fields ourselves, so we don't have to pay food to the Zong family anymore?"

"Yes, half a million acres." Dong Hong said, "If each household is allocated 100 acres of land, it can be divided into 5,000 households and can support nearly 30,000 people."

Li Heng looked at the heads of Fanjin and Fanzhu and said: "Send it to Xiangyang and tell other families that the court has a method of equalizing land and a method of trading company. Should you hand over the land and join the court to do business and make money, or should you? Defend the fields, fight against the imperial court, and let them make their own choices. Each family only has one day. Seeing the heads of Fan Jin and Fan Zhu, they should be able to make a choice."

Some people gasped for air, and then ran back excitedly, shouting as they ran: "We have fields! We don't have to hand in food anymore!"

The crowd instantly exploded.

"How many?"

"Are there also tenants?" someone asked.

"That man must be crazy. He will definitely be punished when he goes back."

Many villagers gathered curiously. They looked at the words on the wall and didn't recognize any of them.

"One out of thirty!"

"Here."

"Is this true or false?"

Someone from the Wenxuan Camp pointed to the words on the wall and said, "This sentence means to take out the fields owned by powerful families and distribute them to the common people."

Some people wrote on the wall at the head of the village: Fight against the powerful and divide the fields!

The current situation is that the Han army is promoting propaganda while the aristocratic family is still collecting grain according to inertia.

As a result, on the 28th, there was a serious disconnect between propaganda and actual actions.

As a result, many people who cheered yesterday are as wilting as eggplants beaten by frost today.

Fortunately, there are heads of Fanjin and Fanzhu.

In the next two days, the news of Fanjin and Fanzhu's heads spread throughout Xiangyang counties.

So, this scene appeared:

"Quick! Call the people who collect the grain back first! Quick!"

"Suspend grain collection! Stop it quickly!" "What to do with the grain that was collected before? How to deal with it? Return it to me immediately! Return it first!"

"If you miss one pill, I'll beat you to death!"

"..."

The tenants who had already handed over their grain and were starving at home suddenly saw the grain collectors coming again and were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

But the other party also knelt down.

"Come, come, come, here is this year's grain, return it all! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Yes, yes! Yes, yes! No, no, no, no! You must accept it, our clan leader said, if you don't accept our heads, we will move. ! Okay! Okay! We were a little loud a few days ago, do you think it’s okay to speak in a low voice now? If it’s ok, we won’t disturb you. Remember to give us a good review!”

April 30th, Xiangyang City.

Chen Tai was a little surprised after reading the latest collected information.

"Fan Jin is really dead?"

The Fan family was the commander of Xiangyang County. No matter how crazy Li Jian was, he wouldn't kill Fan Jin when he first came to Xiangyang, right?

But Hu Zhi's expression was a little solemn. He took out another document from the desk and handed it to Chen Tai.

"Uncle Xuan, please read this report first."

"This is?"

"This is from Jiangling's scouts."

"Scouts from Jiangling?" Chen Tai was even more confused. He opened it and looked carefully, and frowned as he looked at it. "Those famous families in Jiangling gave all their fields to Li Jian?"

"Yes." Hu Zhi nodded, his eyes a little complicated, "There is a big family in Jiangling named Xie. This Xie family became shareholders of Jiangling Salt Trading Co., Ltd. The Xie family not only handed over the fields, but also all the steps. Handed it over."

"So, Li Jian is from Jiangling and implements Yizhou's strategy?"

"That's right, the land will be distributed in exchange for commercial interests." Hu Zhi's eyes began to worry, "Do you know what Li Jian said to the people in Jiangling City that day?"

"What did you say?"

"He said that the aristocratic family held the land in their hands and harvested 70% of the food from one acre of land! He encouraged the common people to unite and overthrow the aristocratic family!"

Chen Tai was shocked and blurted out: "Is he looking for death?"

"Did he die in Yizhou?"

"He..." Chen Tai hesitated, "He used Taifu Temple's trading company shares to win over the original aristocratic families and exchange interests to balance the situation?"

"That's what he did!" At this point, Hu Zhi took out another document and handed it over, "Look at this document report. This is what happened after Li Jian came to Xiangyang in the past few days."

Chen Tai took it over doubtfully.

Hu Zhi said: "I heard that the heads of Fanjin and Fanzhu had been spread throughout Xiangyang County in just two days."

"Did he repeat his old tricks in Xiangyang?" Chen Tai was startled.

"Yes."

"Does he think he can make those families in Xiangyang surrender to him?"

"The largest Fan family has been conquered by the Yi clan. The other families have returned all the grain they just harvested in the past few days. The Yang family has sent people outside the Shu army camp."

"Are you going to discuss business?"

"To the north of Xiangyang is Nanyang, and to the east of Nanyang is the Central Plains. In the past, goods from Shu were imported from Guanzhong, and the Wei River was cut off by our army. It was inconvenient for goods from Guanzhong and Shu to reach the Central Plains. Now in Xiangyang, Li Jian finally has the energy to come to us continuously. The Wei Dynasty imported goods, and Jingzhou's products were more abundant. I'm afraid those big families..."

Chen Tai's face was extremely gloomy.

Jiangling and Xiangyang were occupied by the Han army. This would be a much larger commercial gathering point than Guanzhong.

The interests involved would make anyone jealous.

"If it were you, would you go talk to Li Jian?" Hu asked Chen Tai a soul-searching question.
