The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 322: Tao Clan’s internal discussion is not obstructed by the elders, and young people are making progress and daring to be advanced

The Tao family now has a population of only more than 30 people, and the entire family, including slaves and the like, has only more than 100 people. It is a very small family!

He was inconspicuous among the Jiangdong gentry, except that he was rich, after all, he was in the silk business.

Every year he needed to pay tribute of 1,000 rolls of silk to Sun Quan, which made the Tao family very upset. Sun Quan said he was purchasing the silk, but how could he actually pay for it?

In other words, they were just given a small official position and sent away.

After becoming an official, I thought that good days were coming, but in fact they were even worse. Since you became an official under Sun Quan, what's wrong with you as a subordinate giving something to your lord? Why do you still want benefits?
Do you want a knife?

Originally Sun Quan could give some money, but now he doesn't. Every year, all the silk produced by Tao's family is taken away by Sun Quan. Tao's family can only work hard to increase production. In other words, silk is a high-end luxury product, otherwise Tao's family will also decline.

Seeing that the other party was hesitant, Luo Yuan said, "Didn't you come to Jiangling just to ask for my protection? Otherwise, why did you cooperate with me? Since you want to cooperate, you must listen to me, and you will definitely get benefits. Tao can continue to do silk business in the future, and the 200,000-acre Sanglin Military Mansion can cooperate with you. You just need to provide the technology, and the rest will be provided by the Military Mansion. I can give you 5,000 pieces of silk every year as a reward. If you can improve the technology and increase the output in the future, you can be an official, and you can be in charge of Jiangling silk affairs. Your status should be the same as Zhang Zhongjing in Jiangling. Of course, you must be much lower than Zhang Zhongjing. He is an old immortal, and you are just a businessman!"

Heartbroken!
Tao Shao looked at Luo Yuan speechlessly. What do you mean? Do you still want my cooperation? What's wrong with being more polite?

He never thought of competing with Zhang Zhongjing for the first place!
Is that something you can snatch yourself?

Zhang Zhongjing's medicine can save lives, and Jiangling's small pills are very popular.

He was already tempted by Luo Yuan's suggestion because he really gave so much.

He took a deep breath, plucked up his courage and said, "Your Excellency will not monopolize my family's craftsmanship, will you?"

"I don't care. You want the common people to learn your craft. In the future, we will also need these people to do business. The craft is still yours, but you have to spread it."

"This...this...goes against our ancestors!"

"Compared to the huge benefits, I don't think it matters if you go against your ancestors. Isn't it great enough for you to be the world's number one silk manufacturer? You may not be able to keep the craftsmanship your ancestors left you, but the reputation of the world's number one silk manufacturer can protect your Tao family for thousands of years." Luo Yuan smiled and said, "If I use force to threaten you, would you dare not hand over the craftsmanship? But I hope that we can cooperate happily, understand!;,

In the face of life and death, no skill is more important than life.

Tao Shao finally nodded. What Luo Yuan said made sense and he really didn't treat himself unfairly. He had 5,000 pieces of silk a year, a position as a mountain chief, and countless fame in the future.

Very excited.

"I have to go back and discuss this with my clan members. After all, this is something that belongs to the clan. Even though I am the clan leader, I cannot make the decision alone!"

"No problem, but hurry up. The Military Command is very busy and doesn't have much time for you to discuss. If you can't make a quick decision, you'll have to wait until next year. You can raise silkworms in the spring, and you'll have to fight in the summer. I won't have time to deal with you!"

Understand!
Cao Cao will arrive in summer, probably in June, when the summer grain in the north is stored in the warehouse, and Cao Cao should set out. At that time, Luo Yuan will start to take action against Han Xuan.

If he takes Changsha, his territory will occupy one third of Jingzhou. By then, the livelihoods of millions of people will have to be arranged. Tao Shao is just a small accident, and he can't waste too much time on him.

This is also a means of exerting pressure. Don’t think that you are so awesome and I can completely ignore you.

If you don't have Wujin, ordinary silk crafts will do. You are not the only one who can do those crafts!
Luo Yuan's main purpose was to provide jobs for the people, not to become a silk merchant.

After Tao Shao returned, he discussed the matter with his family. Some people objected, thinking that it was impossible to teach the family craft to others.

The old men in the Tao family thought that Luo Yuan was jealous of their craftsmanship, just like Sun Quan.

Not a good thing
But the young Tao people were strangely supportive.

"Why not? The conditions you offer are too good. Why refuse? Although my family produces silk, can we produce 5,000 pieces a year? Now that you are willing to give us so much every year, we can use these 5,000 pieces as we like!

"That's right. It's not like my family can't produce silk in the future. Five thousand rolls of silk are a free reward. Besides, as the world's number one silk family, don't you want it? Elders, this is the best in the world. Do you dare to think about it? Now that the prince is willing to support it, my family has hope of surpassing Bashu silk. This reputation can be passed on to future generations."

With this reputation, future generations should not take it too easy.

What's more, he can become an official.

The old guys don't have much time left, so naturally they don't care about being officials. But they are still young, and who doesn't want to be an official? They have no chance with Sun Quan, because Sun Quan is limiting the number of Jiangdong nobles who can serve as officials.

But there are no such restrictions in Jiangling. Women here can all become officials. Minister of Propaganda Yang Manqing is a role model for women in Jiangling.

Now he is leading the army to conquer the surrounding areas. Can you believe it?
Jiangling is different from other places in every way. It is a paradise for young people. Many young descendants of local aristocratic families have started working and serving as officials, all starting from the bottom.

What these young people at Dow see is just two words: fairness.

Speak with power!

If they followed the rules of the aristocratic class and looked at their background and family affairs, a small family like theirs would also be treated unfairly when they entered officialdom.

"We all agree and will listen to you, clan leader. Don't hesitate. If you hesitate, how will we be able to serve in the government in the future if you don't agree?"

"After all, we are a noble family. How can we not be young if we want to serve as officials?" An elder of the clan said confidently. There were not many officials who came. They, the Tao family, were also a noble family and could read, so it was not easy for them to become officials.

"Jiangling is different from Jiangdong, completely different. If the gentry want to become an official, they have to look at their class background. Elder, you don't understand. If my family is not an advanced gentry, we will have no hope of becoming an official in this life. What is advanced? It means to abide by the laws of Jiangling and actively cooperate with the policies of the Military Government. They have made it clear that no matter who you are, you have to start from the grassroots. Liu Huan of Jiangling is a promising young man who takes the lead in progress, divides the family land to the people, and cooperates with the land reform of the Military Government. Now he is a local health official with thousands of people under him and great power?"

"It's because he is advanced. If he is not advanced, can the Lord use him? I know Liu Huan. He has no talent. He has studied but not very well. But now he is an important official in Jiangling. Why? It's because he is a progressive aristocratic family. My family does not cooperate with the General Office. Although it is not a big problem and the Lord will not embarrass us, my family members will never think of being an official in Jiangling in this lifetime."

"That's right, if young people like me don't become officials, will there be any future for our family?

The young people were extremely excited. If we don't cooperate with the Military Headquarters, we will be ruining our future.

Do you still want them to provide for these elderly people?
What the hell, believe it or not, I will give you a revolution first.

A few young people looked at each other and had an idea that they might as well learn from Liu Huan's good example and take the lead.
