Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 429 Dig Their Roots
The pre-Qin system was called feudalism, also called "feudalism".Beginning with the Son of Heaven, land and labor are divided into layers, and the person who owns more land is more powerful.But in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was only a small amount of land or no land at all, but talented scholars rose up.They use their knowledge to unite with other "scholars" to control the officials and the princes, thus controlling the world.So the "gentry clan" was born, and as time went by, the "gentry clan" became a "noble family" over the years.

The century-old family has a very deep heritage. The most amazing sentence is that I "students and old officials are all over the world". The most powerful father-in-law is my family's "four generations and three princes". The family occupies the entire world's official titles , Almost blocked the promotion path of all poor families.Unless you have a literary talent that shines through ancient and modern times, and you send your essays to the families of the aristocrats and are favored, otherwise you can only sell your essays in brothels and paintings on the side of the road.Besides, unless there is a change of dynasty, kill the enemy and make meritorious service.

In later generations, another type of people appeared. This kind of people either did business, or worked as subordinates, or worked as aides, and made a lot of money.However, none of the ancestors had ever been an official, so they could only buy and sell land and pass on their skills to make a living.This kind of family often can't last long, but one after another, it has become an upward trend in the whole society.This kind of small landlord and the big aristocratic family actually have a big contradiction. They are often rich and well-educated, but they can't even be a county magistrate.

Xu Qing wrote to Cangzhou, asking them to mobilize the power of small landlords to encircle the big aristocratic clans, taking advantage of this contradiction.The big aristocratic families in Hebei took a fancy to the huge profits of the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the small landlords also took a fancy to it.In normal times, small landlords have no other income other than rent from the land.And the tenants in the field only have some grain, and they can only rely on the caravans that come from time to time to sell some grain to make money.But the family is different.What is an aristocratic family? It means that there are officials in the family. If there are officials, they will have connections and backgrounds, and they will be able to open cloth restaurants, teahouses and inns in the city, and then they will be able to do business.

In this regard, the small landlords are actually very greedy.Now, with Xu Qingrang's order, how can the small landlords not sell their moldy, rotten and neglected grain one after another, and form a caravan to join the chamber of commerce?Joining the chamber of commerce, as long as one season's grain is ripe, then you can participate in the normal dividends. That's real money, and it's the famous Tongbao that we have been greedy for a long time but can't get!Furthermore, as long as the grain is sold without having to sell the land, 1 will not work, and there is still a way out.Yes, you can let your son stay at home, study hard, and look at the family business. I, the old man, bought food and went to the business.

Xu Qing estimated that Cangzhou's grain, together with the grain of these small landlords, could last at least until the summer grain harvest.

Of course, in order to prevent wealthy families from eating all the grain of these small landlords, the common people cannot buy a grain of grain.Xu Qing also asked Zhao Lu to buy it at a relatively high price, and it didn't need to be too high, just use the price after the summer grain harvest.After collecting it, sell it in small quantities, or take out Xu Qing's old method of using work for relief!

Overhaul Cangzhou City!
There is also a need for the Chamber of Commerce to send more bodyguards to protect the caravans that want to join. Zhao Lu and Qin Shi also have to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and register all these "vagrants".Their food can be used not only as capital, but also as a commodity because of sales requirements.Under such a situation of shortage of food everywhere, the sales will be smoother.

Xu Qing thought about it, and Huang Shimei had already made the list at this time. Xu Qing took it over and saw that apart from Niu Zhacao and Wang Shan, and a few people from the dark river, Xu Qing also knew a little bit about it. Xu Qing didn't recognize any of the rest.Huang Shimei pointed to Xu Qing with a smile, this one is the housekeeper of Shantianzhuang, that one is the manager of the winery, the shopkeeper of Fulilou, and this and this, how much money they earned for our family last year, they just came from bad backgrounds, They can't get into a private household, so they can only live in our home.

Seeing the great heroes of the Xu family on the list, Xu Qing blushed, changed the subject immediately, and took out the letter he had written.Huang Shimei looked at the word and smiled, but when she read it patiently, Huang Shimei's face became serious. She leaned on Xu Qing's shoulder and looked at Xu Qing's idea word by word.

The noodles contain spring.

Xu Qing looked a little dazed, shook his head, and put a kiss on Huang Shimei's lips.Huang Shimei panicked for a moment, and the several pieces of letter paper in her hand fell to the ground.After a while, Huang Shimei "struggled" away from Xu Qing's arms, hammered Xu Qing and said, "Bold, how dare you be rude to this lady!"

As she said that, she picked up the letter paper on the ground and said to Xu Qing: "Brother Xu, these ideas are well thought out. Do you want to dig up the roots of the Hebei family?"

Xu Qing smiled and said: "They are here to dig our roots, how can I let them go?"

Huang Shimei said worriedly: "But, Brother Xu, there are too many aristocratic families in Hebei, and most of those small landlords are also related to them. Your method will offend many people..."

Xu Qing thought, this is not possible, the strength of this method comes from uniting the majority, targeting a small number of people, if you want to reject too many people, the gain will not be worth the candle.At this time, Huang Shimei thought for a while and said: "But, even if those small landlords are relatives, but the opportunity to become rich and powerful is in front of them, they should not be willing to live under the fence forever. The success or failure of this matter, It's still between five and five, brother Xu, you make a decision."

Xu Qing took a look at the distance, and said ruthlessly: "Just do this, lower the restrictions on the relatives of the family, as long as they are not directly related, and have a good reputation in the region, they can be included. The other person, who is against the family, can also be included. All join in. Transfer some money from Chang'an, and let Yang Wen in Luonan arrange some money, it is best to disturb the entire family in southern Hebei."

Huang Shimei wrote several letters according to Xu Qing's wishes, and arranged for the people from the underground river to send them out.Putting down the pen, Huang Shimei lay on Xu Qing's body, Xu Qing gently rubbed her hands, Huang Shimei smiled and said: "Brother Xu, our family's business is getting bigger and bigger. Sigh, these days, you rarely Stay with us, and in a few days, we will go to Xuanwu Gate again."

Xu Qing also sighed and said: "I can't help it. These things are related to thousands of people, and it's not me, Xu Qing, who has to fight for fame and fortune."

Huang Shimei glanced at Xu Qing aggrievedly and said: "Brother Xu, I don't blame you, but Xiaoyue's stomach has been restless these days, and she often suffers from the pain at night and can't sleep. You are not at home..."

Xu Qing groaned in his heart, and patted his forehead: "This is my fault, alas, I shouldn't have done it. But, she is only three or four months pregnant, so why does it hurt? No, I have to find someone The imperial doctor will take a look."

Huang Shimei shook her head and said that I have never had a bad pregnancy, I don't know about that, and this imperial doctor is used by the royal family, where did you get it?
