Chapter 704: Going Bald
We can only continue to reform the official system, strengthen patrols, reduce and exempt taxes, of course, it is inevitable for the government to post notices to promote loyalty to the monarch, patriotism and national righteousness, etc.
It can be said that the more they think about it, the more complicated it is, but in Xu Qing's mouth, it is very simple to win the hearts of the people. Don't pretend to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and don't shout slogans about reforming the official system. Even if you change, how can ordinary people feel it?
What is the easiest and most effective way to live a popular life? Let the people see the real benefits.
What are the real benefits for the common people?
Of course it is the land!
As the saying goes, don't panic when you have food in your hands.
Where does food come from?
Isn't it just from the land?
Although Xu Qing's words are not very pleasant, they really hit the nail on the head, but at the same time, they can't do it at the moment, unless the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains return to the separatist regimes of the princes and slowly govern them.
It is not so easy to fundamentally change the family property after it grows bigger.
King Xian looked at Xu Qing and asked, "So, it was the same when you nationalized the land?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, sometimes the land in the hands of the people is not necessarily better than that in the hands of the court, because the land in the hands of the people will be annexed by the family landlords, but the land in the name of the court will not, and it will be restrained." If the land is annexed, the country will be able to last forever."
Hearing this, Emperor Chu finally smiled and said: "Although I don't like to hear what you say sometimes, but it is indeed a bad word. As long as the imperial court nationalizes the land bit by bit, it will not only control the land The merger can even curb the rise of the family, which is a very clever plan."
King Xian nodded and said: "But Xu Qing's method can be implemented on the grassland without any scruples. If the people of all ethnic groups in the grassland belong to Chu, then the grassland will no longer be useless. It will become the ranch and horse farm of our Chu State in the north, and our Chu State will never lack good horses."
Xu Qing continued; "Originally, the planners didn't dare to say it, because the nation on horseback like this is all soldiers, especially good at riding and archery. If they want to prevent them from rebelling and confiscating their war horses, they will definitely treat me Zhong Yuan felt resentful, but fortunately, the Wanyan Department has already done this for us, and even if they don't have horses, they can't blame us."
Hearing Xu Qing's words, King Xian couldn't help but looked at Emperor Chu with a smile and said, "Emperor, you tell me how heartless this king is every day. Now it seems that he is the most heartless person in Chu! It will be difficult to stand up in the future, there is no bottom line, hahaha, but this king likes it."
Xu Qing said with a black face: "Actually, my lord, I have a bottom line..."
King Xian looked at Xu Qing and asked, "A mere Liuli wolf king can be tied up with a chain plan to squeeze out the last value of the grassland. Do you still have a bottom line? What bottom line do you have?"
Xu Qing coughed and said, "I have decided that I will never take another penny from the grassland, and my conscience will be condemned if I do so."
King Xian's face was filled with black lines: "There must be something in the grassland for you to fish..."
Now the fat sheep in the grassland is almost bald by him, and he can't catch a sheep like this.
Now the virtuous king feels sorry for Wanyan Khan.
Originally, their Wanyan tribe came to the Central Plains to form an alliance with the Chu State to attack the Zhou State. Who would have thought that if the alliance was not formed, they would not only cut off their hands and feet, but also pay 550,000 taels...
In fact, it wasn't like this in the first place, and they didn't expect it at all from the beginning to the end, that is, Chu State has the ability to make fake colored glaze.
Do you really think that the glazed wolf king was bestowed by the heavens?
...
Two quarters of an hour later, Xu Qing and Xiao Ye came out from the imperial study. Xiao Ye had an extra tiger talisman in his hand, which was used to mobilize the forbidden army.
Under the guise of transporting the Liuli Wolf King, transporting the new firearms to the border is the task given to Xiao Ye by the Xian Wang.
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing in admiration and said: "Brother Xu, you are amazing, a Liuli wolf king can make so many articles?"
Xu Qing smiled and said, "I didn't think about it so much at first, after all, I was afraid of being exposed if I said too much, but..."
Xiao Ye asked: "But what?"
Xu Qing said: "I found that the grassland is easier to fool than Zhou Guo."
The corner of Xiao Ye's mouth twitched, and then he asked, "Since Brother Xu plans to go to the border again and let craftsmen make another one, what about the one in the capital?"
Xu Qing said: "Smash it and bury it."
Xiao Ye was surprised and said: "Buried? How can it be buried? Even if it is one foot high, it can be broken and sold as small items, and it can be sold for a lot of money, right? What a pity to be buried."
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "Brother Xiao, have you ever heard a word?"
Xiao Ye asked: "What are you talking about?"
Xu Qing said: "Value determines price, and supply and demand affect price."
Xiao Ye asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
Xu Qing said: "Nowadays it is very easy for us to make colored glaze, but other people don't know about it, so the price of colored glaze is still high. Even though we had opened a colored glaze exhibition, the price of colored glaze was still high at that time because colored glaze was still rare. Most of the colored glaze on display was bought by people from Chu State, and then we sent two caravans to sell a cart of colored glaze to Zhao State and Zhou State. Now the supply and demand of colored glaze in the Central Plains market has tended to be balanced. If Liuli gets involved again, Liuli will become less and less valuable."
"The colored glaze in our hands is like a silver ticket. It cannot be issued at will, otherwise it will become like waste paper. Now only the grassland has no influx of objects like colored glaze, so the grassland is our last big customer."
Xiao Ye seemed to understand: "So the only way to maintain high prices is to ensure that the supply of colored glaze in the Central Plains and grasslands is always in short supply?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Exactly."
Xiao Ye said: "Then we can't sell colored glaze from now on?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "Of course it can be sold, but we need to strictly control the production and some marketing methods."
Xiao Ye asked: "What marketing method?"
Xu Qing said: "For example, we can make colored glaze into a pair of jade pendants, and then bind the colored glaze with the love in this world. I have already thought up the advertisement slogan: love is as dazzling and fragile as colored glaze, and it needs you and me to cooperate." Treasure and care."
Xiao Ye heard Xu Qing's words and murmured: "This advertisement..."
Xu Qing said complacently; "Well said?"
Xiao Ye: "Good soil..."
Xu Qing waved his hand: "Then find a great Confucian to help translate what I just said into classical Chinese."
