Chapter 151 The Centennial Conquest of Korea ([-])

six years later

five phoenix four years
Because the imperial court’s taxes and corvee were too light, the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful, and the owner farmers lived so happily that many powerful manors in the world had escaped from famine.

In the past, tenant farmers did not flee famine because the imperial court imposed too many taxes and corvee, and being an owner-peasant of the imperial court was not as good as being a powerful tenant farmer.

The current new emperor, Liu Xun, has governed the world so well that the tenant farmers are very envious of the current self-cultivating farmers, so they want to escape famine and become self-cultivating farmers again, so that they can live a happy life.

Under such circumstances, the tyrants in the Central Plains had to reduce the rent to [-]%, but they still could not stop the large-scale fleeing of the tenant farmers.

In desperation, the tyrants in the Central Plains had to reduce the rent to [-]%, and a few tycoons who had seriously fled famine even reduced the rent to [-]%, so as to reduce the number of tenant farmers fleeing famine.

In the past, there were refugees all over the place, and the tyrants lacked fields and people.

Now there is no refugee in the world, and the tyrants are in turn short of people and land.

If you want the tyrants to treat the tenant farmers well, you have never relied on benevolence and morality to educate the tyrants, let alone expect the tyrants to show kindness, but to seriously govern the world. As long as the living conditions of the owner farmers improve, the tenant farmers will naturally envy the owner farmers. The standard of living is low, and he finds a way to escape from the powerful manor and become a self-cultivator for the court.

Against this background, large-scale tenants fleeing famine also occurred in the Wang family. This is not bad for the Wang family. After all, most of the tenant farmers of the Wang family have migrated to overseas islands. Central Plains.

The three families of Zhang, Li and Lu are miserable. All their tenant farmers are in Liaodong, and the tenant farmers can easily escape famine.

The final result is that the population on the books of Liaodong County continues to increase.

The three major families did not dare to take these tenant farmers back, after all, the governor was watching them.

Although it is impossible for the governor to investigate the situation of the tenants in each county, and he does not have so much free time, so he cannot know the situation of the tenants of the tyrants, but at least he knows the general situation of each county.

If a certain county suddenly loses a lot of fertile land or population for no reason, these will arouse the vigilance of the governor.

Of course, all of this is based on the fact that the governor is conscientious and responsible.

If the governor is a normal governor and a governor who will go along with others, then none of the situations mentioned above will happen. How should the tyrants annex the land or how to annex the land.

Coincidentally, the governor of Youzhou is actually a conscientious governor, which is unprecedented.

Therefore, the four major families of Liaodong King Zhang, Li and Lu have stopped land mergers in recent years, so as not to attract the attention of the governor.

However, it only temporarily stopped the land merger. It is impossible to spit out the fertile land that had been merged in the late period of Emperor Wu and Emperor Zhao.

In the age of wise rulers, mergers are suspended, but it is impossible to spit them out; in the era of tyrants and faint rulers, mergers are accelerated, and it is even more impossible to spit them out.

Even a wise ruler can only slow down or suspend land annexation at most, but cannot restore it to the original state. If it is a mediocre ruler or even a foolish ruler, then the whole world will accelerate towards the direction where the poor have no place to stand.

This is an irreversible development trend, even a wise man like Liu Xun (Liu Bingji) cannot stop it, at most he can only slow down or suspend this development trend.

If you want to restore it to the original state, you can only come to a completely chaotic world, and clean up the original forces through a complete violent turmoil.

The Liaodong royal family has now suspended land mergers internally, and bottlenecks have also appeared in external development. Goto Islands near Kyushu Island).

These islands have all been developed, and the wasteland that can be reclaimed has also been reclaimed, and tens of thousands of Han tenant farmers have immigrated there. There are no free natives.

During Emperor Jing's period, Wang Taiyang sailed eastward and drew a nautical chart, but now the islands on the nautical chart have been developed almost, and only the largest and farthest Zhinu Island (Kyushu Island) remains undeveloped.

Faced with various situations, the Wang family needs to get together to discuss the next development direction of the family.

clang--

The giant rusty bronze bell was rung, and the Wang family's family meeting was held.

Since the implementation of the Family Cheng system, the Wang family has not held a family meeting for decades.

This time, except for the children of the Wang family in Chang'an and overseas who were not allowed to attend the meeting because they were too far away, all the children of other families had to attend the meeting, even those who were prefects and county magistrates.

"Greetings, masters!"

The servants and maids have also changed for several generations. Most of them work in textile workshops and winemaking workshops, and only a small part of them are responsible for serving the Wang family.

The process was still the same, everyone from the Wang family entered the meeting hall, the maids served tea and water and then left the meeting hall, and the servants closed the door.

All the windows in the meeting hall were opened to let in light, and many oil lamps were lit in the hall.

The hall is filled with chairs, tables, and stools.

Chairs and stools are the changes that have taken place after Wang Hongxian and Wang Qiao returned to Liaodong.

Wang Hongyin followed the advice of the two, and restored chairs, stools, high beds, and high tables in the Wang family, but he still sat in a kneeling position when he was in the Central Plains, so as not to be out of tune with the Central Plains scholars, which would cause a little trouble.

Six years ago, Wang Hongxian and Wang Qiao dedicated "Long Night Journey to the Western Regions" to the emperor. Emperor Liu Xun was overjoyed, and he canonized them as Marquis of Guannei and rewarded them with two thousand gold.

However, within a year after Wang Hongxian and Wang Qiao returned to Liaodong to visit relatives, Emperor Liu Xun sent another team of envoys, but this time the target of the envoy was not the Western Regions, because the Western Regions had already established the Protectorate of the Western Regions, led by Zheng Ji. Served as the first guardian.

This time, the target of the Dahan's mission was Rome (Daqin), and he appointed Wang Hongxian and Wang Qiao as Zhonglang, with a rank ratio of six hundred stones. Wang Hongxian and Wang Qiao returned to Rome with the Dahan's envoy team to represent the Dahan The emperor sent his greetings to the Roman Senate and looked forward to the establishment of friendly relations between the two countries and the exchange of business and trade through the Silk Road.

"The master is here!"

Jia Cheng Wang Xiaoqian shouted and reminded everyone to be quiet.

Dongfang Shuo died of old age, and Wang Xiaoqian took over as the Prime Minister.

And Wang Yao, the grandson of Zhang Cigong, Wang Nan of Wang Xin, and Wang Lian of Wang Changsheng, these three served as the family secretary (the elder of the family changed his name).

At the same time, Wang Yujun, who has reached the age of 25, served as Wang Xiaoqian's family secretary (the family master book was renamed).

The Wang family is forming a pattern in which the male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside. Male members are officials outside the family, while female members manage within the family.

Wang Hongyin's three children, the 25-year-old concubine Wang Yujun assists Jiacheng in the family; the 21-year-old concubine Wang Fengbang took some soldiers to Yingzhou Island to exterminate the Japanese aborigines, and has not yet returned; the 17-year-old concubine The first queen, Zhengjun, was just sent to the palace a few months ago. Because she was quiet and elegant, she happened to be the type that Prince Liu Xi liked, so she was brought into the womb of the crown prince and became the princess concubine.

When everyone calmed down and sat down, Patriarch Wang Hongyin said to everyone: "Let's start the meeting."
