Chapter 123 Centennial Plan

Wang Zhenvil and Tao Yuanming belong to the grassroots family. The first thing they punished when Lu Qiang returned to Jiangling was shame and frightened. Originally, he had come to plead early to plead. As soon as Lu Qiang came back, he just needed to rest, and today he was driven in front of them, so now he has been waiting outside. Hearing Lu Qiang's biography, he immediately came in.

Lu Qiang had just been playing with Tiansong, so he didn't know that the two of them had come. Seeing their frightened expressions, he immediately understood.

In fact, they can't be completely blamed for this matter. After all, their ideas and status are different from their own. When they are away, they still need the support of local forces such as Jiangling, so it is inevitable to indulge those dung be indulgent.

Although Lu Qiang doesn't really want to blame them, he must also take this opportunity to beat them, otherwise they will easily get contaminated with those scholars over time.

After casually saying a few words yesterday, and even criticizing and appeasing them, he changed the conversation and mentioned the crusade against Lu Xun next spring.

Wang Zhenvil, as the second person in Jingzhou, still knows something about Lu Xun's situation. After listening to Lu Qiang's words, he frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Your Excellency, please be honest. Jing and Jiangzhou are currently at the time to recover, and it is really not suitable for activating troops!"

Lu Qiang couldn't help sighing and said, "I don't know that it's really unwise to start a war now, but I can't wait for it!" We are nourishing our energy. Why is Lu Xun like this? We have two Liu Hushi in the east and Huan Xuan in Shu in the west. If we don't get rid of Lu Xun's cancer, it will definitely become a big trouble in Jingzhou for a long time."

"Throughout these three parties, although the strength of Huan Xuan in Shu is the weakest, he is the most difficult to fight with the danger of Shu, not to mention the strong army of Erliu's Beifu. With our current strength, it is not enough to fight with them at all, so I finally chose Lu Xun."

After listening to Lu Qiang's analysis, the two of them stopped talking. Although they are both highly intelligent people, when it comes to the overall view, they can't compare with each other.

Wang Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "Since the adults have decided, we just need to cooperate fully. Jing and Jiang have always been the main grain-producing areas, so there are two points that my subordinates are worried about. One is to appease Guangzhou after taking Guangzhou, and the other is the money."

"Adults treat military subordinates preferentially, support the people with thin taxes, and do not compete with the people for profits. No matter which one is, it is a long-term plan to enrich the country and strengthen the people, but the effect is not seen for a while, and after the war, a large amount of silver money is needed to reward the soldiers, so adults still need to submit a constitution in this regard."

Money! It's money again. It is said that money is not everything, but it's really impossible without money. How can I save money as soon as possible?

Lu Qiang knows that the rich families of Jing and Jiangshi have money, but he can't come to grab it, can he? Then you won't become a bandit? Suddenly, there was a flash in my mind. How is the private salt of Dai Qianqiu? I heard that that thing is a good thing!

However, although Lu Qiang knew that private salt came quickly, he still didn't understand it, so he said to the two, "What do you think of salt?"

Of course, Lu Qiang can't tell them that he is preparing to be the biggest salt seller.

Tao Yuanming manages specific affairs, and knows more evil than Wang Zhen. Hearing Lu Qiang's question, he quickly replied, "Salt and iron have always been controlled by the government, but Jingzhou has always been under the control of the Huan family before. In order to attract the rich family in Jingzhou, the Huan family handed over the right to manage salt. They, and we have been in power in Jingzhou for a long time, so we haven't taken back the salt franchise."

Lu Qiang understands that the reason why private salt is rampant is that the salt tax in various places is too heavy. Once the salt goes from the place of origin to ordinary people, it will increase dozens of times, which gives those salt tyrates a chance.

As an important daily necessities, salt has the right to buy and sell in the hands of merchants. Although it is conducive to market circulation, there is no such a sound law in this era. The family monopolizes the world, raises the price at will, or replaces the inferior, which not only raises the price of salt, but also has no fair competition.

So this patent must also be in your own hands.

It's just that I just took a lot of land from the Jing and Jiang clans. If I take back the management right of salt, will those rich families who have cut off their way of wealth have any ideas?

"Hmm! You have to be careful about this matter, but the government will not take back your right to operate salt, and the government will also open a salt shop, right?

A relatively undamaged idea soon took shape in Lu Qiang's brain, and this idea is not only aimed at the scholarly rich families of Jing and Jiang.

Spent the economy of other regions with private salt, while the Jing and Jiang regions can be traded fairly. This move kills without blood, which can be said to be more useful than 100,000 troops.

Looking at Lu Qiang's strange eyes, Wang Zhenvil and Tao Yuanming seemed to have some understanding. I guess the adults have another idea, and I don't know who is unlucky this time?

Chen Bingsheng is really about to be mad by this pig-like grandson. It's okay to be a dranky. He is still wearing the government to show off. Isn't this just killing him?

Chen Kun looked at the eldest brother and his son kneeling on the ground with some gloatingly. A good son is fighting for face! Although his heart was already happy, he did not dare to show anything on his face. An expression of excuse for the eldest brother and son said to his father: "Father, my son doesn't think the matter is so serious. Although Taoer is a little scared, it is not a good thing for him in the future. In addition, at Lord Lu's place, we will send out some more land at worst."

After listening to his brother's words, Chen Liang first looked at his brother gratefully and said, "Yes, yes, anyway, our family has a lot of land. Send some to Lord Lu. Anyway, we have to let Taoer return to the government office."

Chen Bingsheng listened to his two sons and almost got angry. These two prodigal things, according to your failure, how many property of the Chen family is not enough! It seems that the Chen family can only rely on Yuer in the future.

"Cough..."

After coughing a few times, he gasped and said, "Do you know what Lu Qiang did after he met the owner of the Kuai family in Changsha?"

Chen Liang's daily job is to eat, drink and gamble. What happened in Changsha has nothing to do with him. After listening to his father's words, he naturally shook his head as if he had Alzheimer's disease.

Chen Shanksheng was extremely disappointed with this eldest son. He pointed outside and said angrily, "Get out... Get out of here"

Seeing this, Chen Kun quickly helped his father's back and said, "My father is talking about opening a school?"

Master Chen Liang rolled and crawled out. Chen Shansheng said, "If we want the Chen family to be invincible and Yuer to be reused around Lu Qiang, we must walk in front of the Jing and Jiang Shi clans in everything. This time we have been passive, so we should do our best to remedy it."

"Isn't Lu Qiang going to open a school for those children with mud-legged families? Other people's family opens one, our family opens three, and we have to waive all the fees, okay?

Chen Kun immediately understood his father's good intentions and nodded, "Father, don't worry, my son will do it now"

The ability of the second son to do things still reassured Chen Bingsheng. He nodded and said, "If you pass my words, send Taoer to the farm to live in the countryside for a period of time. If you don't have me, you can't come back."

Seeing that his son seemed to want to persuade him, he continued, "If the boss refuses, tell him that his son's regular money will be cancelled in the future, and don't want to work in the government office anymore."

Chen Kun has been very willing, so how can he not agree? The boss is over. Of course, he is the first heir. He pressed his eyebrows that were about to fly, bowed and agreed to retreat.

Looking at his son's back, Chen Bingsheng couldn't help sighing. He was as old as a teenager. How could he not understand his second son's thoughts? But what's the use of understanding that the Chen family has to rely on their father and son to continue.

"Lord Lu, how far do you want to get us scholars?"

Lord Lu has been very busy. More than ten days later, led by him, ten schools funded by everyone in Jiangling officially opened to accept students.

I heard that the school does not charge any fees, and is expected to enter a higher school in the future and become a servant of the government office. The people have sent their children here one after another. In a short period of time, ten schools will be overcrowded.

At this time, Chen Bingsheng showed the atmosphere of different scholars and once again invested in opening five schools. For this reason, the owner of Chen was also personally received and praised by Lord Lu, and restored the official body of his eldest grandson.

In this way, other families have followed suit and solved the situation that the school is full and the children have nowhere to go in a short time.

With so many schools opened at the same time, teachers have become a problem, but the good thing is that they are all ignorant and have nothing too profound to learn.

And Lu Qiang's move undoubtedly gave the world's poor scholars a big wind vane. For a while, those poor students who had no way to enter the officials came to Jiangling one after another, but Lu Qiang did not expect this effect.

Then Tao Yuanming came forward and discussed the opening of official salt shops in Jing and Jiang with several major families, including the Chen family.

During this period, the scholars and rich families of Jing and Jiang have scared the endless methods of Lu Qiang, and they understand very well that Tao Yuanming said politely and operated salt and profit with everyone. If anyone does not agree, they will be immediately kicked out of this high-profit industry, so this measure can be successfully in Jing and Jiang University. Go on.

While paying attention to these two major events, Lu Qiang also personally led people to join the autumn harvest.

In the year of Dafeng, the happiest thing is the people. There are land in Jingzhou, so you don't have to pay so many taxes, and you don't have to be afraid of rich people. Is there any better place than here?

The benefits of the people are directly driven by the economy, and the most beneficial of economic prosperity is the taxation of the government.

Although the treasury is becoming more and more full, war is the most expensive. Now Jiangling Assassin's House studies the most every day is how to get more money.

And at the same time, the recruitment continues.

With the influx of bulgrants from all over the world, the soldiers also had a great guarantee. The battalion outside Jiangling soon stationed 50,000 troops again, and the exercises in the battalion were endless every day.

almost people can feel that the pace of war is getting closer and closer...
