Chapter 202 Two birds with one stone

"It's very simple. Give them the fields and let them work with peace of mind." Lin Feng said: "As long as they have their own land, they will not join the Fire Lotus Sect if they offer any attractive conditions."

Nodding his head, Li Wenyuan said, "My lord is still thoughtful."

Lin Feng just smiled and didn't say anything.This is not his thoughtfulness, but the conclusion drawn by some experts in later generations.Lin Feng still agrees with these conclusions.Ordinary people in China should be regarded as the most tolerant.As long as the government doesn't tax them endlessly and push them to a dead end, they won't rebel against the court.They have a natural fear of the imperial court.

"It's just, my lord, how can we have so many fields?" Li Wenyuan asked again.Now most of the fields in the south of the Yangtze River have been concentrated in the hands of a few big landlords, and the government has very few fields, let alone those other fields.

"If you don't have any land, then buy it!" Lin Feng said to Li Wenyuan: "Those people must be too busy with so many fields in their hands, so let's come forward and buy them."

"But, my lord, they won't sell it." Li Wenyuan said to Lin Feng.

Laughing, Lin Feng said, "That's up to them."

"My lord's words are..." Li Wenyuan asked with some puzzlement.

Looking at Li Wenyuan, Lin Feng said: "It's very simple, buy it by force."

"My lord, I'm afraid this won't work. This will arouse their resistance. Our foundation in the south of the Yangtze River is not stable. If we encounter resistance from the gentry again, we will be passive." Li Wenyuan said to Lin Feng.

"In the name of the Governor's Mansion, we will issue an order: from now on, regardless of the gentry, we will pay the grain as a whole. And if the land held exceeds a certain amount, the tax will be doubled." Lin Feng said to Li Wenyuan. Although he knew that this would be counterproductive, Lin Feng only wanted to If this is the case, it is not a good thing that the fields are concentrated in the hands of a few people.The destruction of many dynasties began with land annexation.Farmers who have lost their land can do anything.

"My lord, I mean, can this be postponed?" Li Wenyuan said, "If the gentry in Jiangnan are against us, then we will be very sad in Jiangnan."

Although Li Wenyuan came from a poor family, he knew quite well about the gentry class.It is very troublesome to offend them.Unless you are so strong that you don't need to be subject to them, otherwise, if you offend them, they will definitely retaliate.In this way, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are very likely to turn to others, which is even more unfavorable for Lin Feng.

"Let's spread the word about our elimination of the Fire Lotus Sect and let those gentry know that we have grown stronger." Lin Feng said: "Let's discuss this matter again. As for the members of the Fire Lotus Sect, if there is really nowhere to go If not, we can only let them go fishing.”

"My lord, I think this method is feasible. As for those who don't know how to fish, I can only find a way to arrange for them. As for what your lord said, the matter of collecting taxes from the gentry, I suggest you delay it." Li Wenyuan said to Lin Feng said.

Nodding his head, Lin Feng also knew that he was a little too hasty.After all, this is not something that can be done all at once.Unless his new army is complete.He has the capital to speak tough enough, otherwise, these gentry are really enough for him to drink a pot.It can also be seen from this that a good adviser is very important.

After finishing the matter of the Fire Lotus Sect, before Lin Feng had time to celebrate, Jiang Qi came to the left-behind division to see Lin Feng.

"Jiang Qi? What will he do with me?" Lin Feng was a little puzzled.Lin Feng didn't think it was a good thing that Jiang Qi came to him as the spokesperson of the behemoth who controlled the Yandao Yamen behind the scenes.

Although he didn't want to see him, Lin Feng still asked someone to invite him in.Besides, Lin Feng is the governor of the three provinces, is he still afraid of a cult member?It's just that this cult is now more powerful, and Lin Feng can't touch them for the time being, but this doesn't mean that Lin Feng won't touch them in the future.

Moreover, in Lin Feng's plan, the Maitreya Sect is the next target.However, this goal needs to be completed after the training of the new army is completed, otherwise, Lin Feng really dare not turn against them.After all, Lin Feng has seen the power of the Maitreya Sect.Their tentacles extend in all directions, and most importantly, they are intertwined in the court.Under the premise that Lin Feng is not absolutely sure of killing them all at once, he will not act rashly.

"Governor Lin, long time no see." As soon as Jiang Qi came in, he greeted Lin Feng with the same smile on his face.It seemed that no sadness could ever be seen on his face.

Standing up, Lin Feng also greeted Jiang Qi and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Jiang." Lin Feng really didn't know how to address him, so he simply used the word "Mister".

Jiang Qi was not polite, he sat down after entering, and then said to Lin Feng: "Governor Lin is really good, he eradicated the Fire Lotus Sect with lightning speed, but I don't know, who is the next target? "

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I don't know what Mr. Jiang meant? The Fire Lotus Sect is a cult that was clearly ordered by the imperial court. If I want to eradicate the cult, do I have to ask Mr. Jiang for instructions?"

Lin Feng was also a little angry. This Jiang Qi was arrogant and aggressive, as if he was under his command.He is the majestic governor of the three provinces, a member of the imperial court, and a martial arts uncle personally appointed by the emperor.

"However, the Governor should also know that although the court has always said that the Fire Lotus Sect is a cult, it has never seriously eradicated it. The Governor's actions have completely uprooted the Fire Lotus Sect." Jiang Qi Said: "In this way, we have to feel a crisis."

"Mr. Jiang is too worried." Lin Feng said: "As long as it is legal, the governor will naturally protect it, but if he does something that is not conducive to the court, the governor will have to kill him."

"What Master Lin means is that we don't rule out attacking our Maitreya Sect? Or the next target is our Maitreya Sect?" Jiang Qi directly opened the skylight to speak bluntly.asked without hesitation.

Laughing, Lin Feng said: "Mr. Jiang is too worried. The Maitreya Sect has always been law-abiding. And this governor is also a half believer of the Maitreya Sect. Not long ago, I was still in the southeast. .”

Lin Feng had no choice but to say this to Jiang Qi first.There is no way, Lin Feng can't completely turn against the Maitreya Sect yet.His own strength is not enough.If they fall out with the Maitreya Sect, the final result will only be a loss for both sides. For Lin Feng, the gain outweighs the loss.Therefore, he chose to endure.

"I really didn't expect that the governor also believed in Buddhism?" Jiang Qi said somewhat unexpectedly.Lin Feng's words also dispelled Jiang Qi's worries a lot.

"Yeah, people have to have some faith." Lin Feng said very pretendingly.But I thought in my heart: Don't let me train the new army. When I become stronger, I will be the first to deal with you.

"Your Excellency said it well." Jiang Qi was very happy, his chubby fleshy face, which was already in a ball of laughter, was about to be crowded into a ball.

"Since Mr. Jiang is here this time, the governor has something to discuss with Mr. Jiang." Lin Feng said to Jiang Qi.This is also an excuse to change the subject.

Looking at Lin Feng, Jiang Qi asked, "I don't know what your lord wants to say to me?"

"Mr. Jiang is well-informed, and he should know that the Fire Lotus Sect has many congregants. To arrange these people, the governor can get a lot of money. What the governor means is that the Buddha is merciful, right? Let the Maitreya Sect come forward and ask merchants from all over the place to donate a little. This governor is already stretched. I really can't afford the money." Lin Feng said to Jiang Qi.He just wants to make Jiang Qi lose his guard now, it is best to trust him completely, and then, Lin Feng will give him a sudden blow.

Hearing Lin Feng's proposal, Jiang Qi was very moved. After all, this is also an opportunity for the Maitreya Sect to become famous. However, Jiang Qi also knows that this job will offend others, which is not a good thing for Jiang Qi.

"My lord, I'm afraid this is not good. It's better for the government to come forward in this kind of matter. If we are asked to come forward, it's not justified." Jiang Qi thought for a while, but still shirked it. This matter is obviously a disadvantage. More than profit.

"Mr. Jiang, you also know that the governor has not been in Jiangnan for a long time, and he is not familiar with the gentry and businessmen. So, what the governor means is that you should take the lead, and the governor can go to help out when the time comes." Lin Feng continued.

If the Maitreya Sect is involved in this matter, although it will increase the popularity of the Maitreya Sect, it will also benefit Lin Feng a lot.At least, he can get a lot of money, this is the real thing.Secondly, when the Maitreya Sect asked those merchants to take money this time, those merchants would naturally dare not speak out, and Lin Feng's image in their hearts would definitely be relatively better. For Lin Feng, this is definitely a matter of killing two birds with one stone. ,why not?

Seeing what Lin Feng said, Jiang Qi was very moved.After all, in this way, the Maitreya religion can also turn to the bright side.Over the years, Maitreya Sect has been developing secretly, which is very detrimental to the development of Maitreya Sect.Jiang Qi is very willing if he can develop on the bright side.

Sure enough, he was moved by Lin Feng's proposal.Jiang Qi was very moved.Especially if this matter has an official background, then the Maitreya religion has taken on an official nature, which is of great significance for them to fool those believers.Maybe the Maitreya religion can rise from this.

If the Maitreya religion is strong to a certain extent, then maybe you can follow the example of the sages, rise up and change the dynasty, so that you can be the founding father of the country.Isn't prosperity and wealth within easy reach.

As Jiang Qi thought about it, the smile on his face became thicker, and the direct result was that Jiang Qi's eyes narrowed into a line.

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

Looking at Lin Feng, Jiang Qi said: "It's okay, but the adults must show up at that time, otherwise, this..."

"This Mr. Jiang can rest assured." Lin Feng said: "As long as there is nothing that must be done, the governor will definitely go. Even if the governor does not go, he will send an official to go. This Mr. Jiang can rest assured."

Lin Feng thought in his heart: It's up to him whether to go or not at that time, do you know that I have nothing to do?At that time, I can just send someone to participate in politics or something.Although their grades are not low, they are far from representing the imperial court.In this way, when Lin Feng exterminates them, he will not have any worries.

Hearing that Lin Feng said that he might not go, Jiang Qi obviously hesitated for a moment. If Lin Feng did not go, it would be far from the expected goal.But Lin Feng said that he would send an official there. Although it was quite different from Lin Feng going there himself, he was still an official of the court anyway, so it was acceptable.

"If this is the case, how about going back to discuss it with everyone and then give Master Lin an answer?" Jiang Qi said to Lin Feng.Although he is very tempted, after all, he can't make the decision completely, he has to ask others, so it's all right to ask for instructions.

Nodding his head, Lin Feng said: "This is natural. I just hope that Mr. Jiang can give me an answer as soon as possible. After all, this matter is more urgent."

"No problem, I will ask for instructions as soon as possible after I go back." Jiang Qi said.In order to do this as soon as possible, Jiang Qi immediately got up and left.Lin Feng didn't do much to keep him, and sent him out.
