Chapter 22 Persecution
The issue of slavery in aristocratic races has to trace the root of the roots. It has no problem at all. There are sizes and different forms, but the essence is that the "prime species" take away all kinds of personal rights of the "bad species".
The servants among the high sects are only the definition of "people" in biological terms. In fact, "they" are just property for the high sects, that is, "materialized" people.
Few people really understand the huge family formed since the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Even the head of a high-ranking family may not know how many mouths they have to feed every day and how many people they have to feed each year.
They don't know, but the data knows.
Since the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, the Jiangdong clans consumed a lot of rice, flour, grain, oil, silk, silk, silk, silk, silk, silk, and satin every year. From how much land they control and how much materials they purchase, they can roughly estimate. If they install and buy a few spies, even the conventional fire consumption of each company and the loss rate can be calculated.
Why is the Zhang family in Jiangshui just a rich man and a "poor family"? Because of the accumulation of Zhang family in Jiangshui, they are not even qualified to hide their population and save slaves.
Unlike aristocratic families, the Zhang family in Jiangshui cannot afford to "sitate to eat the empty mountain" without making any trouble. The aristocratic families "sitate to eat the empty mountain" is a false concept. They do sit and eat, but the mountain is not empty.
Fortunately, a local dog played a trick that asked the Jiangdong clan to dig out the gold, silver, copper and iron buried in the geography to do investment and financial management. After a few years of fun, the financial manager suddenly donated money and ran away, which gave them a time when they could eat but the mountains would be empty.
What’s even more terrible is that you used to be bragging when you sit and eat; now you are not prepared for high-end furniture, precious jewelry, and exquisite food. What’s the point of eating?
The twenty-year "sitting" in Zhenguan finally made me feel empty, which made a local dog very pleased. Without this habit, how can the sales of Xiaobawang learning machine be increased? How can a better typing input method appear if the sales volume is not good?
"Alang, even if Jiangdong is slightly frustrated, it will not hurt his muscles, right?"
As a girl from a noble family, Cui Jue is the most understandable. In her memory, something leaked from her fingers is enough to let the family of five in Xuzhou City eat for 358 years. In fact, Cui Hongdao presided over the Xuzhou House, how many people did he support in total?
Some of them are not added up, with a guarantee of 20,000 yuan, and no cap is allowed.
Moreover, the number of land in Xuzhou's books and the actual arable land among the people is simply incompatible. The number of land in the early control of Cui Hongdao was about 30,000 mu, but the official registration was only 5,000 mu, and it was not land in the first place.
There are countless other mixed fields, and there are countless mountain fields. However, with the development of water conservancy projects, the so-called fields cannot be used to go down to the fields. How can the people in Guizhou feel?
"Mingyue, don't think that this is my own business. How can there be less fighting and fighting within the Jiangdong clan? For decades in the Southern Dynasties, hundreds of revenge and kill hundreds of people. Even if this situation does not hurt the muscles, someone will fuel the fire, causing them to hurt the muscles and bones."
With emotion, Zhang De said again, "Besides, Jiangdong's 'change of rice into mulberry' has not been the past or two years. He has to harvest a crop of sugarcane in the fields and summer. At present, Jiangdong's rations rely entirely on the newly reclaimed mu of land every year, which is also a loss for Jiangdong Prefecture and County to attach importance to water conservancy, but there is arable land and rarely low output, so this can barely maintain it."
The characteristics of the "land of fish and rice" do not mean how high-quality the local fish is or how delicious the rice is. It means that it can ensure stable and low output no matter what year or month. In addition, the characteristics of the estuary of the Yangtze River, as long as the water conservancy project keeps up, the output of newly reclaimed land will often be comparable to that of the upper fields in Guizhou.
This unique geographical and environmental feature is also the reason why the Jiangdong clans can let go of fun.
However, one of the local dogs was a bit sinister. They intentionally or unintentionally continuously increased the input of foreign grains from Jiangdong, such as rice, Japanese rice, Korean rice, Jiaozhou rice, Guangzhou rice... Comparison of the grain sources in the market, the ratio of imported grain to local grains was once as high as four to six.
Excluding Jingchu grain or Jianghuai grain, even if this share is only 10%, some areas in a short period of time will still begin to be anxious.
It is better to live without money than to live without living, but if you have no food to eat, it is not a matter of living without living without living.
For aristocratic families, it is definitely not enough to die for one’s own people. “If you die, you will not die for me.” There are so many mud legs in prefectures and counties, and you will die if you die. What’s the matter with me?
However, the reality cannot be that simple. For bureaucrats, the weight of the "people" under their rule is not low. Then, we must make a choice. The "people" cannot die. Some servants from the aristocratic families take over the rations, so there is no food for them, right?
This is what it means. If you implement it in detail, it is not bargaining, and time will not wait for anyone.
"Now, except for the Lu family and Yu family, I am afraid that a group of people will be cleaned up. It is not that they are really killed or unable to support them, so they will be thrown out. Of course, if the Jiangdong family is determined to be ruthless, it is not impossible. As long as you can bear the loss of reputation, it is, Mingyue, the reputation of the aristocratic clan is 'authoritarian'. If the reputation of the aristocratic clan is not afraid of, one generation or two generations will decline. The so-called 'restraint and virtue' is here. It is not possible for anyone to rely on the debt at any time."
"Ah Lang saw that the Jiangdong clans really would submit? At this time, the situation was necessary, and it is unknown if the counterattack in the future is settled."
"Mei Niang's idea is right, but you have to understand that I am not just me. To this day, there are many people among the Jiangdong clans who advance and retreat with Wuhan. As for the name "Demon City on Earth", you also know how it is outside. Kill me is to kill Wuhan, kill Wuhan is to kill Lu, Yu or Xiao, Cui... How many people are trapped in, and how many people are to kill."
Lao Zhang did not show off his importance, but as the "junction" that maintains the entire group, he is indeed inseparable in this time. Once the entire interest group is divided and defeated by the old forces, it is conceivable.
The process may be long, but it may also be short, just very violent and extremely harsh.
Cui Jue and Wu Meiniang were also very simple, of course they were not as simple as young girls. The environment they were in was unlikely to like fantasy like farm girls.
However, in this collision of different interest groups, the scenes of family failure due to personal will still deeply shocked them.
Even though they are proud of their wisdom and talent, they know their personal strategies and talent in this kind of group confrontation, and they are unable to change anything unless they surpass the entire era.
"Besides, there are still gaps between the north and the south for so many years. Taking this opportunity can be regarded as making some small contributions to His Majesty the Emperor. The imperial court can't always ignore the work, right?"
Zhang De said with some bad taste, looking at the two girls who were still confused.
