Chapter 351 Shangqi City Has Fallen
Regardless of whether the aristocratic family is in an aggressive period that likes to do things or is in a more submissive dormant period, Sun Xiangfu's goal has never changed, that is to enrich the people and strengthen the country.

When the common people are rich, the old ways of the aristocratic family will naturally not hold water in this country. They may be able to manipulate the poor, but it is difficult to manipulate the rich.

When they feel that their status is threatened, they may rise up and resist, but at that time the conditions for eliminating them are ripe, but not only the empress will wield a butcher knife to kill, but any emperor who is not stupid is fine.

The place where Sun Xiangfu went to the banquet was in the living room of Lu's family. Here, the principals and sons of various families had already gathered here, as well as a large number of elders from various families, some of whom Sun Xiangfu had met during the land auction meeting last year.

After seeing the ceremony, Sun Xiangfu took the first seat. Thinking about last year, he was only the last seat in the Wang family and was looked down upon by most people. Now, he feels a little proud. If everyone's patriarch is here, he will not be able to sit in the chief position.

"Everyone is invited today, I don't know what the so-called matter is!"

It was almost the end of August, and Sun Xiangfu was more and more anxious to return to Chang'an. After he sat down, he got straight to the point.

"Hehe, Dudu Sun asked knowingly. After some discussion, I felt that it is a good thing to respond to the new policy of Beidi and support the imperial court's land replacement policy. It's a matter of words, I don't know, can you make a deal with me and others?" Lu Wenzhong, who was sitting in the main seat, took the lead in taking Sun Xiangfu's words.

With Cui Ti secretly communicating with him, Sun Xiangfu already knew what they had agreed upon in advance, so he said in a firm tone, "The new policies in the Northland will be gradually implemented in the last few months of this year. It will be fully implemented before the spring of next year. This is His Majesty's order, and no one shall disobey it.

As for the land replacement, it was not the imperial court or the governor's decree, but the Wang family's own initiative, because the replacement of the land would only benefit the Wang family.

Therefore, your family should know what is going on with His Majesty's palace. In order to promote the rapid development of the Northland, the governor can give you a convenience, but the price of this convenience is not cheap! "

Hearing Sun Xiangfu's words, Lu Wenzhong and the other young masters present all turned dark.

Exchange the fertile land inside the pass for the wasteland outside the pass, even if one mu is exchanged for two mu, they have suffered a big loss in terms of price. How did they get to Sun Xiangfu's place? You have to pay a certain price first, what kind of world is this!

Seeing that the painting style was wrong, Lu Yi was afraid that Lu Wenzhong and other young masters would fall into the rhythm of Sun Xiangfu, so she hurriedly said, "Dudu Sun, you can't say that. You want to implement the New Deal in the Northland. If I wait a few If everyone disagrees, there may be many twists and turns.

After all, the imperial court's policy can control those tenants, but it can't control the hundreds of thousands of domestic slaves in the hands of my family and others. These domestic slaves are the private property passed down from generation to generation by our family. Even the emperor cannot Deprive others of their private property! "

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu said with a slightly cold expression, "The emperor has no intention of depriving other people's private property. Any behavior of the Wang family is a way of change that they have explored by themselves. I believe that if you don't see this kind of change in the Wang family If the benefits are generated, everyone sitting here will not ask the governor to have a meeting here.

Therefore, whether you agree or not, the policies of the imperial court will be implemented, and it would be ridiculous to use this to negotiate conditions with the governor.

The current situation is that the Wang family is willing to exchange their own land in the Guannei for the land under the jurisdiction of the Anbei Daduhufu. One mu is exchanged for two mu. Shi Wanguan built a palace for His Majesty, and promised to fully support the relevant management policies of the Duhufu in the future.

Where is the Governor!In return, he will exchange the land around Dingxiang City to the Wang family, and in the future, whenever there are new crops such as spices, oak trees, and cauliflower that can generate large profits, the Governor will seek cooperation from the Wang family as soon as possible.

People respect me a foot, and I respect others. I believe that you have also seen the benefits of the Wang family in the past two years.

If your family also wants to cooperate with the governor like the Wang family, yes, the governor welcomes them all, but you have to show your sincerity. "

As soon as Sun Xiangfu got angry and spoke thoroughly, everyone sitting there fell silent.

Indeed, the yamen of the Governor's Mansion has only promulgated the labor security law. In the civil system implemented in Guanzhong, it does not require all noble families to release their slaves. This policy of releasing domestic slaves is the result of the citizenship system. The next step, the imperial court officials, did not announce it to the public. Sun Xiangfu just used the Wang family as an introduction to test the reactions of all parties, and adopted a very gentle method, step by step.

After all, what Lu Yi said is also very reasonable. Many domestic servants are passed down from generation to generation, and quite a few people are willing to serve as slaves under them.

If the pace of reform is too fast, it may cause the rebound of the entire social elite or aristocratic family. Therefore, so far, Sun Xiangfu has only discussed with Li Shimin, Wang Xu, Cui Ti and others, and has not listed it as something that must be implemented. in the system.

If everyone is conscious enough to transition through Sun Xiangfu's various coercion and lure methods in a more gentle way, then it will be much easier for Sun Xiangfu to start working in other small aristocratic families or dignitaries. After all, the five surnames and seven families represent more than half of the gentry class in this era.

If they resolutely disagree, then Sun Xiangfu can only wait slowly until the citizenship system is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and wait for the moment when the emperor can really follow the country's policies, and then do it. This time may be a bit long.

After a while, regardless of Sun Xiangfu's presence, the elders of each family started whispering and whispering. In the strategy they had discussed before, they actually had the intention of making friends with Sun Xiangfu and cooperating with him in agriculture. After all, just one spice makes the Wang family's strength stand out from the crowd, and when the legendary cauliflower is produced, the Wang family's strength may be enough to crush any of their families.

With the current capital of the Wang family, they have been able to join hands with the emperor to play tricks on them, causing them to lose money in big business many times. If they are allowed to grow stronger, what will happen?
No one knows the rules of this world better than the elders of these aristocratic families. It is nothing more than big fish eating small fish. If you want not to be eaten, you must be a big fish.

So, after a cup of tea, Lu Wenzhong said, "Dudu Sun, if my Lu family wants to replace the land in the pass to near Ulan City, which the Duhu Mansion is planning to build, I don't know what conditions you have."

The meaning of Lu Wenzhong's words is that he is willing to pay some conditions in exchange for the right to land replacement. In fact, it is not because the land replacement can benefit them immediately, but if they don't replace it, in the long run, they will lag behind the Wang family too much You know, with this round of replacement, the Wang family's land outside the pass is likely to be as high as tens of millions of acres, although these fields can only produce one season a year.However, all of them are fertile land that can produce high yields. In comparison, the annual harvest will be much higher than that of several of them.

More importantly, they can also continuously obtain more economical new crops from Sun Xiangfu, constantly impacting the market, and making their income in all aspects continue to weaken.

Then, in three to five years, the Wang family will become a giant crocodile. Although the final fate of this giant crocodile is unpredictable, this giant crocodile will definitely open its mouth to swallow the weakening The few of them, because apart from them, there is no one else who is qualified to be a competitor of the Wang family, or in other words, the Wang family has no regard for other smaller families.

However, Sun Xiangfu's answer stunned Lu Wenzhong, saying, "I have agreed to exchange the land around Wulan City to others. If you want to rely on the land of the city, it will be built at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain near Tingzhou in the future." Around Shangqi City, there are hundreds of thousands of good land..."

"May I ask Dudu Sun, which one replaced the land near Ulan City?"

Before Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, Lu Wenzhong interrupted urgently. You must know that the foundation of his Fanyang Lu family is located in Dingxing County, Zhuoshui, with a radius of hundreds of miles, which is the same as Wulan City designated by Sun Xiangfu. The location is less than [-] miles away, which is much closer than the Cui family in Qinghe, which is also in Hebei.

Thinking of the Qinghe Cui family, Lu Wenzhong suddenly turned his head to look at Cui Ti, who was sitting on his lower seat.

Suddenly stared at by Lu Wenzhong, Cui Ti showed an unnatural expression, and Lu Wenzhong knew it all at once.

"Well, Cui Ti, you actually took the first step."

After all, Lu Wenzhong was young. Seeing that the place he was looking for was taken away by the Cui family, he was immediately annoyed, and pointed at Cui Ti and said angrily.

On the side, the elders of the Cui family could only complain about their son's poor acting skills. Sun Xiangfu didn't reveal any information, but told Lu Wenzhong honestly that the land was owned.

"Young Master Lu, my Cui family has cooperated with Dudu Sun for a long time, and I didn't know in advance that your Lu family intended to replace this piece of land!" Cui Shaotang, the elder of the Cui family, saw that his son was embarrassed, and replied on his behalf.

All right!This reason is very strong, and Lu Wenzhong is speechless. He should have thought that the Cui family can cooperate with Sun Xiangfu to grow blueberries, so the relationship must be extraordinary. Cui's family secretly colluded with Sun Xiangfu.

At this moment, not only Lu Wenzhong, but also Li Bin from the Li family in Longxi, Li Qi from the Li family in Zhaojun, Cui Yu from the Cui family in Boling, and other young masters all felt that they were stupid pigs. How could they believe in this so-called alliance? How can he go to another house when he sees the benefits?
"Uh, that, Mr. Lu, don't be angry. From the point of view of this governor, although Shangqi City is far away, it is not inferior to Ulan City. Its location is the key point leading to the Western Regions. If it is replaced to the surrounding area of ​​Shangqi City, then your family will have a big advantage in the future trade leading to the entire Western Region."

Sun Xiangfu has such a thick skin to be able to call a piece of flying thousands of miles away as a treasure. However, his words are not aimless. Then I realized that what Sun Xiangfu said was very reliable.

Shangqi City, like Tai'an City, is a city within the defense line of Tingzhou and Xizhou, which can be used as a port city leading to the Western Regions, but Tai'an City has more advantages leading to Central Asia, while Shangqi City Qicheng, on the other hand, has more advantages leading to Europe.

When Sun Xiangfu chose the location of the city, he had these considerations in the early morning. Now the ecological environment of these two locations is very good. The land is fertile and suitable for farming. They can develop a large area of ​​land in such a place Well, if a city like Shanyang is built, then the future income will not only depend on the output of the fields, but business will be the big one.

"Sun Dudu, my Longxi Li family is very interested in exchanging the land to Shangqi City..."

"I, the Li family of Zhao County, also have such considerations..."

"Why are you everywhere? My Boling Cui family's millions of acres of land in Guanzhong and Shandong can all be exchanged for the land in Shangqi City. Dudu Sun, you must give priority to it..."

The scrambling of the rest made Lu Wenzhong's complexion even darker.
