The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 203 The opening of the Family Conference

"Are there so many aristocratic families coming?" Liu Tai looked at the list of aristocratic families handed to him by Yang Man. All large and small aristocratic families from Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou came over.

Liu Tai was slightly confused: "I just want to get rid of some old industries in Linzi. Do I need so many aristocratic families?!"

Liu Tai expressed doubts about the opportunity in front of him and looked up at Yang Man. Yang Man said with a sincere look on his face:

"Isn't this the prince? You can be called the hero of the north by winning Jizhou and Youzhou. It would be strange if you don't come to support me from a noble family!"

When Liu Tai heard Yangman's words, he wanted to say something but couldn't.

To be honest, these aristocratic families don't think Liu Tai is the master of the Ming Dynasty. After all, no Ming master in the world would criticize the aristocratic family harshly. But the problem is that the aristocratic family understands what it means that the situation is stronger than the person.

Now Liu Tai has captured the essence of Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou. This situation can be regarded as the foundation of the empire.

This forced them to face Liu Tai seriously.

After all, Liu Tai belonged to the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty. Even someone like Shi Le, who respected talents, had shown the character of those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish.

It is well known that Liu Tai is harsh on the aristocratic family. Faced with Liu Tai like this, they at least don't want to become the chicken that kills the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Maybe Liu Tai can't deal with all the aristocratic families, but if he is really cruel and only deals with one aristocratic family, no one can stand it.

"Since all these aristocratic families are here, let's establish the rules between ourselves and the aristocratic families... and then establish a chamber of commerce after the property auction."

Liu Tai thought thoughtfully, "As for the criteria for becoming a chamber of commerce, let's see how much they paid for this auction!"

Liu Tai understood that since these people were here to express their attitude, he would give them an attitude.

Liu Tai's original idea was to build the Chamber of Commerce after next year, but now, since he is taking this opportunity to bring these aristocratic families to gather in Linzi, he can just finish all the dealings with the aristocratic families at once, and even plan to build the Chamber of Commerce. It's a trivial matter.

If you want to develop the three states, the chamber of commerce is almost necessary for the development of the commodity economy. With this thing, you can immediately find local companies through the chamber of commerce itself, and even let your salt stamps be implemented smoothly and efficiently in the three states. .

Therefore, the successful establishment of the Chamber of Commerce will make it more efficient for you to regulate the market.

Even in administration, the president of the chamber of commerce can be asked to come forward to trouble businessmen and coordinate the relationship between organization members and the government.

Of course, there are no benefits to being a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Just having a formal identity with official endorsement is what many businessmen want, not to mention the information benefits and market development after entering.

When Liu Tai thought of this, he asked Yangman to release it to the aristocratic families. After the auction, he wanted to hold a meeting of the aristocratic families in the three states of Qingjiyou and form a large-scale chamber of commerce across the three states.

As for the tickets for the Chamber of Commerce decision-makers, this time we will see who will take over the auctions that they plan to give up their properties.

Soon, with Liu Tai's deliberate connivance, all the aristocratic families in Linzi knew about the news.

Naturally, Wen Qiao and Lu Chen, who had just arrived in Linzi, were also listening to the conversations of passers-by in the inn.

"Chamber of Commerce..." Lu Chen couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "This Liu...Does Duke Liu intend to insult people? How can we and other dignified nobles be such a rotten person!"

Wen Qiao shook his head and said, "He wants to find a new way to make money for the family.

As the saying goes, the policies implemented by Duke Liu under his command were the Qiantian tax and the corvee tax. This was naturally unimaginable harsh rule for the family.

The aristocratic families under his command are not only full of rebellion, but they also have many dissatisfaction with Duke Liu. If time goes by, they will definitely feel resentful.

Duke Liu obviously knew this, so he launched the Chamber of Commerce to give his aristocratic families a place to go for their money and food. "

"If so, isn't Duke Liu afraid that when the chamber of commerce becomes bigger in the future, there will be big businessmen like Lu Buwei!" Lu Chenlue said with some doubts, "A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest, and merchants will eventually fight against cholera." of."

It is precisely because of the emergence of top businessmen like Lu Buwei who have maximized their business and investment capabilities that all politicians have known that businessmen have such terrifying abilities to become big. In addition, regardless of whether they are representatives of aristocratic families or future gentry, The people here are all from a class rooted in the land, and they are naturally resistant to businessmen.

Even if China has financial problems in the future, they will instinctively find a big businessman to kill them.

It can be said that suppressing the status of businessmen has become the consensus of almost everyone.

However, now that Liu Tai has publicly formed a chamber of commerce, no matter what Liu Tai's actual purpose is, it has resulted in the elevation of the merchant's status among the guest officials.

For someone like Lu Chen, who was born in the Lu family of Fanyang, it was almost instinctive to resist.

"No one knows whether merchants will have cholera in the future, but what is certain is that becoming a member of the Chamber of Commerce will receive some help from Liu Tai.

At least under Liu Tai's rule, for the sake of his family's plan, he probably wanted to join in! "

Wen Qiao said to Lu Chen, "Moreover, Duke Liu's plan is obviously aimed at integrating the three states families!"

"Integrate the aristocratic families from the three states?!" Lu Chen was a little confused at the moment, but after hearing Wen Qiao's reminder, he couldn't help but say,
"What does my aunt mean that Duke Liu wants to use the Chamber of Commerce to tie all the big and small aristocratic families in the three states to his carriage?
But why bother?As long as he recruits nobles for his use, I believe no one will refuse!Isn't this a better way? "

"Maybe it's because he is somewhat hostile to the noble family!" Wen Qiao shook his head and then said,

"I was born in the rebel army, and I have a natural resistance to the aristocratic family, and there are restrictions on the aristocratic family when I act in government decrees...

But after all, he is a person who understands the overall situation, and this chamber of commerce is his compromise to the family.

He didn't want to lose his way, and the wise family would choose to follow. "

"What if you don't join in?" Lu Chen couldn't help but ask after hearing Wen Qiao's words.

"Unless Liu Tai is defeated, the Qianda tax and corvee tax will exist under his rule, and the family that clings to the land will not be able to grow!"

Wen Qiao said very seriously, "The reason why he can give people choices is because he defeated Wang Jun and became the overlord of the north. Faced with such a person, the family only has the opportunity to choose."

"This is too overbearing. If he forces the family like this, can he be sure that he can always win?" Lu Chen said.

"The current aristocratic family at least has a choice, but if he continues to win and invade the north of the Yellow River and annex the west of Taihang, then the aristocratic family may not even have a chance to make a choice!"

Wen Qiao shook his head and said, "His foundation is a little different from other powerful princes. He does not need the support of aristocratic families.

But even so, he still gave the family a choice, how merciful! "

When Lu Chen heard Wen Qiao's words, he glanced hard at his uncle, but sighed helplessly.

Lu Chen said, "Is it precisely because he is so powerful that my uncle asked my uncle to come on this trip?"

"If uncle wants to realize his plan, it is necessary to have a good relationship with Liu Tai. We don't want to win him over. As long as he can choose to sit back and watch the storm, that's enough!" Wen Qiao said to Lu Chen kindly.

"Sit back and watch the storm... He is the most famous general in the Huns and Han Kingdoms, how could he sit back and watch the storm!" Lu Chen didn't understand.Wen Qiao said: "I also asked my uncle about this matter.

The uncle's answer was that his occupation of the three states of Youji and Qing was the limit of what Liu Cong could tolerate.

If Liu Tai is allowed to make meritorious deeds and even annex Bingzhou, then Liu Cong will be the one who has trouble sleeping!

After all, he is a Han and Liu Cong is a Huns. At the critical moment, even if Liu Cong believes in Liu Tai, it is impossible for the Huns under his command to believe in Liu Tai.

Because as long as Liu Tai becomes powerful, it will be easy to annex the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty and restore the Han family's clothes!
So my uncle said, Liu Tai is the force we can win over, but Shi Le is the enemy we need to be wary of! "

"Shi Le? The Jie tribe took advantage of Liu Tai's fight with Wang Jun and occupied Changshan County and Zhongshan County!" Lu Chen thought thoughtfully, "It was he who killed the troops of Sima Yue, King of the East China Sea, and made the Jin Dynasty no longer Room for redemption.”

"Yeah!" Wen Qiao nodded, "My uncle also tried to win over him, but Shi Le rejected him.

After that, his uncle formulated a new strategy, which was to win over Liu Tai and check and balance Shi Le.

If Jinyang had not suffered a catastrophe, Shi Le would never have been allowed to seize the opportunity to develop and become stronger, and now he has become a figure in the north.

But my uncle also said that there will be a battle between Shi Le and Liu Tai in the future, and even if what we have to do now cannot realize the established strategy, it will accelerate the collision between them! "

"My uncle is far-sighted and far-sighted, which is beyond my reach!" Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

"I'll have a good rest here, and when the time comes, I'll go to the family meeting to see what Duke Liu has in mind!" Wen Qiao said calmly.

"Are we going too?" Lu Chen was a little surprised.

"Of course, I, the Wen family of Taiyuan, and you, the Lu family of Fan Yang, are going to attend this family gathering!" Wen Qiao said quite confidently.

Wen Qiao spoke confidently to Lu Chen, but at this moment, he also had some doubts in his heart about Liu Tai's attitude towards the aristocratic family.

To be honest, this is not only Wen Qiao's doubt, but also You's.Hope.When facing Liu Tai, the aristocratic families in the Qing Dynasty may also be a little confused about Liu Tai's attitude towards the aristocratic family.

After all, they are not sure about Liu Tai’s attitude, so it’s hard for them to place a bet!

There were children of aristocratic families in Liu Tai's regime. Whether it was Chu Hui who made Linzi so prosperous or Yang Man who came forward to establish a positive image for Liu Tai, they all proved that Liu Tai could accept aristocratic families.

But at the same time, for the aristocratic family, Liu Tai's policies and the policies introduced by the Western Jin Dynasty were one on earth and the other on heaven, which made it really difficult for the aristocratic family to make a choice.

They really hope that Jin Ting can work harder and defeat Liu Tai so that they can continue to live the life of a noble family.

But the problem is that since the beginning of the Eight Kings Rebellion, the place has not calmed down. Compared with the life of the masters in the past, now the aristocratic families are actually very accepting of the option of living. Not only the common people, but also the wealthy aristocratic families are eager to have strong men to recover. The place is peaceful.

Finally, a strong man, Wang Jun, was born, but it was not good for local nobles like himself.

How Zaosong was skinned in the first place is more or less understood by the surviving Youzhou family.

Not to mention that Wang Jun looked so strong, but was beaten to pieces by Liu Tai in a battle, and his whole body has not yet been found on the battlefield.

So Liu Tai is not a good choice, but Liu Taiqiang is good.

In this era, is there any greater sense of security than the ever-victorious general himself?
Now Liu Tai seems to want to use the Aristocratic Family. Even if the Aristocratic Family knows that Liu Tai hates the Aristocratic Family, how could he let this opportunity pass.

After all, even if Liu Tai hates aristocratic families, there is a difference between an aristocratic family who is an official and a poor family who is not an official.

Not to mention that under the hands of someone like Liu Tai, the difference would naturally be even greater.

To be honest, when Liu Tai spread the news about forming a chamber of commerce, everyone was in good spirits, but later it turned out that Liu Tai wanted to start a family conference in Youji Qingsanzhou. The family's desire to come over was too strong. .

For the aristocratic family, this is what Liu Tai means when he wants to set rules with the aristocratic family.

The aristocratic family is not afraid of making rules, but is afraid of troubled times and lack of rules.

What he was afraid of was that the butcher would kill his whole family when he heard the sound of reading. He was also afraid that aliens would attack his family. From then on, his family would be wiped out and his ancestors would never have blood to eat.

Therefore, it turns out that not many aristocratic families came, but as the auction time for Liu Tai's properties approached, more and more aristocratic families came.

For these aristocratic families, they do not expect Liu Tai to give them any good treatment, but it is always necessary to listen to the policies prepared by Liu Tai and decide the future direction of their family.

Even the aristocratic families in Shi Le's sphere of influence asked their clansmen to come here in the name of doing business, with the idea that it would be right to listen more.

After all, Liu Tai still has a Han family name, but what about Shi Le?Shi Le is from the Jie tribe!

It was natural for the aristocratic family to look down on him. More importantly, the policies implemented by Shi Le were generally beneficial to Shi Le's subordinates.

Naturally, the aristocratic family can also be allocated resources, but the resources allocated are not many. In addition, Zahu is in a rough mood and starts to use weapons and weapons at every turn, which makes it difficult for the aristocratic family to integrate into it.

Now that there is another option, it is normal to come and take a look.

Under such circumstances, when Liu Tai watched these wealthy families begin to compete for the factory technology he had left behind, he was quite surprised why so many people came.

They were bidding one by one as if they were free of charge, and soon they were like the Zhen family in Zhongshan, the Zu family in Fanyang, the Gao family in Bohai...

Even the Kong family and the Yan family bought paper mills, saying that they wanted to spread enlightenment.

Liu Tai looked at these aristocratic families and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Each one of them said that they didn't know the smell of money, but when it came to spending money, they could always easily come up with thousands of gold from nowhere.

But no matter what, the auction went smoothly, and Liu Tai successfully cut off part of his factory in Linzi.

Of course, purchasing these factories is no longer an important matter now. This is just a warm-up. For many aristocratic families, what is really important is Liu Tai's subsequent attitude towards the aristocratic families.

So, after everyone took their seats again, Liu Tai came out and said:

"I am Liu Tai, Duke of Donglai County. I appreciate all of you coming here today, so I am also willing to set a rule with you all who come today!"

All the aristocratic families present were sitting upright, obviously they knew that the main course was about to be served.
