Chapter 1857 Tune the tiger away from the mountain
Wang Yao's method of dealing with the Mo family is very simple, it is to divert his attention and take the initiative to create some things to attract the Mo people walking in Xiuyan Mansion, so that they can be busy with their affairs, and have no time to help the poor people in this drought, or to pay attention to their big grain merchants causing trouble.
He could not compete with the Mo family head-on, even if it was just the ordinary hundred leaders in the Mo family, he could not withstand it, because every hundred leaders could pull out groups of hundred leaders, five hundred leaders, and the like at any time.
Even if he killed Wang Yao, he knew that he was unable to resist the Mo family's flag.
But it is different to divert your attention. It is not difficult to figure out what the ink-makers like and pay attention to, and create similar events to attract them and lure them away from the mountain.
The Mo farmers are best at farming in the world. Basically, everyone likes farming and is keen on studying various advanced methods of intensive cultivation, promoting, or studying better varieties to benefit the people. This is the ideal of every Mo farmers.
So, if you want to attract Mom farmers, just say, where there are excellent varieties that can double the yield per mu... There is a certain probability that you will attract Mom farmers.
For those ideals, which one is more important than the people of Xiuyan Prefecture, the Shang Tang Empire, Qi Wei Zhou Zhao and other countries? This is simply clear at a glance. There is really a good seed with doubled yield per mu, which was discovered by the Mohist family and promoted to the whole world. It is really beneficial to billions of people, which are far from comparable to the people of Xiuyan Prefecture.
Of course, Wang Yao didn't know where there were good varieties that doubled the yield per mu, but he could spread rumors.
The more realistic this rumor is, the more it looks real, and the more likely it is to attract the farmers.
Mo Xia, what do you like to do the most? When you see injustice, you will take action when it is time to take action! Mo Xia is a hero who is heroic and righteous, and who is dominant in the world, just like Xu Jingyang, a hero in the east of the Da Shang River. When encountering unfair things and the people are bullied, they will help with passion.
Then, if you continue to spread rumors, such as Xiuyanzhou or Yunzhou next door, there is a group of big thieves roaming and poisoning the people, there is also a chance that Moxiaomen will be attracted. Just say that they are sending people to invite Moxiaomen Wu Bailing... Didn't Wu Bailing himself have been fighting with those pirates in the coastal areas of Xiuyanzhou? They killed pirates not for wealth, fame and fortune, but because those pirates often plunder caravans or go to the edge of the gang, harming many innocent people.
If you spread rumors, you will say that there are large bandits next door, and one disaster will turn a county into hell. Then even if a group of mohan came to Xiuyan Mansion, you will not be able to help but leave.
Are there any thieves in Lu State? In fact, there are really some. They appear quite frequently, mainly gentry and tyrants. If the people in the place are tortured and turned away, they will not survive. They will easily cause robbers and robberies.
But those thieves often cannot make trouble and are easily suppressed by the gentry. After all, the gentry and private soldiers are also very powerful.
Taking Xuecheng as an example, the Li family can bring together hundreds or thousands of servants, complete soldiers and armor, Lu Zhennan Lu family, and Xu Jiqian Xu family, but these are only three families. Once there are bandits in Xuecheng Mansion, even if there are tens of thousands of people and without weapons and armor, they will be easily suppressed by the gentry group.
At this time, just spread rumors and exaggerate it. It is best to have more information and evidence. Then Mo Xia, who is located in Xiuyan Mansion, will not sit idly by. You must know that in the disaster year, the people sell their children and daughters, and sell themselves as slaves, and they are just slaves and servants. There will be no deaths easily. However, the thieves poison one side differently, and hundreds or thousands of innocent people are killed or injured at any time.
The two are of different natures.
"Everyone, we are simply unable to compete with the Mohist school head-on, but we can spread rumors and attract them..."
He had a solution in his heart, and when his position was recognized by Zhang Yiwen, Wang Yao quickly expressed his ideas.
His words have attracted the recognition of many grain merchants.
"Brother Wang is right. He used the thief to lead Mo Xia away, and used the good seeds that doubled the yield per mu to lead Mo Hong. Tsk, wonderful!"
"It's wonderful, but how do these rumors ferment? And how can we achieve the most realistic? This disaster season, if we want to have a great harvest, it will last at least one or two months. We must attract the Megamen far enough to be safe."
"Haha, there are not shortages of smart people present. Even if one person is short, everyone will discuss it to come up with a perfect countermeasure. Moreover, each of us is not short of money or manpower, and what we lack is the idea of Brother Wang."
…………
Behind Wang Yao, there were large, medium and small grain merchants who were mainly him, and at this moment, they all flattered one after another. The grain merchants surrounding Zhang Yiwen also had their eyes lit up. They wanted to say something, but they seemed to be afraid of Zhang Yiwen's presence and dared not say it clearly.
Wang Yao was very happy, "Okay, everyone, the plan has been proposed, and we need to focus our ideas. I guess it won't take long for the Mohist farmers to visit our families one by one, and they will have to serve them. On the surface, they can agree to them. When they leave, we will turn against each other again."
Is it difficult to fool the surface? It’s not difficult at all.
All the people present are all human beings, and they are best at this kind of kung fu, otherwise they would not have been today.
Just talk about Zhang Yiwen and Wang Yao’s two families, and the entire Xiuyan Mansion is not in the top ten, but this is enough. Do you really think that tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in the Zhang family are so easy to make? Do you think that the Wang family’s many brothels and casinos are so easy to open?
Zhang Yiwen and Wang Yao himself were able to control such a big business, just like old gentry such as Li Wangjiang, Xu Jiqian, and Lu Zhennan, they were also part of the gentry.
Just talk about Zhang Yiwen, both of his sons are still officials in other places, one is the prefect and the other is the prefect.
Without such an identity and power, they cannot defend this huge business.
As for the fact that when they fool the Mo family on the surface, they are confused and dismissed afterwards, are they afraid of being troubled by the Mo family and liquidated them? This problem is not big. Just like Lishui built by the Mo workers, the fertile lands of some self-cultivated farmers or small landlords on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were all swallowed up by Zhang Yiwen, Wang Yao and others. Will the Mo family settle the accounts? The probability is not high. Even if Zhang Yiwen and Wang Yao are missing in this world, other aristocratic families will soon appear to take over their positions.
The grass people are like leeks, cutting and growing in succession, but isn’t it the same with the gentry and wealthy families?
Let’s talk about the normal early Ming Dynasty and the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, who was so shockingly murderous? He treated the gentry and local tyrants as pigs, but after killing for so long, he had just died, and the Yongle Dynasty, and the gentry and nobles appeared in a cluster and developed greatly.
In Tianyuxing, the two empires and kingdoms, the gentry had encountered tyrants with sharp butcher blades. However, after a while, they had killed one after another, and then they started to roam again.
The Mo family has long been used to such an environment, and they will settle accounts later, and the probability is not high. Besides, as long as they accept the slaves and treat them a little bit better, the Mo family wants to settle accounts, so they will let the slaves plead for mercy, which is also a powerful weapon.
