After imprisoning Liu Fei, Wei Yuan summoned all the cultivators of Taichu Palace to the meeting hall, including Cui Yu who rushed back.
The pension issue itself was not a big deal, but Wei Yuan sensed the real crisis from it.
When the cultivators arrived at Qi Weiyuan, he said: "This time I want to hear your opinions. Before that, let me first explain why the granting of land is not feasible."
At this time, Wei Yuan had roughly sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Since the establishment of Qing Ming, wars have continued. I have always used wartime strategies to gather the power of the entire realm. The people who initially joined Qing Ming were all people from the Western Regions.
, if the Qingming is destroyed, the family will be destroyed, so everyone is united and resists the enemy to the death. Only in this way can the internal and external enemies be kept out of the boundary.
In those early years, everything was in ruins and it was extremely difficult. The enemies in the court almost trapped them to death due to lack of food. They had to dig holes to save food by feigning death. At the most critical moment, there were only three days left to save food.
It was only by seizing the military fortress that we could survive the difficulties. Today, Qingming has more than enough food, but the scene of people starving to death is still vivid in our minds."
Many monks in Taichu Palace have followed from the beginning to the present, and they naturally know the history of that period.
Wei Yuan continued: "Throughout thousands of years of history, food comes first. The root of food is acres. The foundation for the rise of aristocratic families lies in two points: Gao Xiu and acres. Some people took advantage of this war to provide compensation.
The purpose of allocating fields is to open up an opening for allocating fields. The next step is to grant land for military merit, and the next step is to grant land for military merit. Does the next step also include granting land for ennoblement and officialdom? "
Xu Henshui frowned and said, "This matter doesn't seem to be that big, right?"
Wei Yuan said: "Everyone has heard what I said to Liu Fei just now. Someone is beginning to test me. Qing Ming is now based on food.
If you have enough food, you can in turn control the counties in Ningxi. Taking food as the basis means taking land as the basis. In the history of land granting, in the end, there was no land to be granted. After the soldiers performed meritorious services, there was no reward, so only
Down the road to perdition.
Moreover, when the land is divided, it will inevitably be merged, and eventually it will be in the hands of the big households. Later, the big households will supplement the annexation, and new aristocratic families will appear.
Cui Yu said: "The emergence of aristocratic families is inevitable. Besides, if Qing Mingyu comes from a noble family, his surname is not Wei. Other aristocratic families can only get a share of the pie here. And if you get the benefits, you will naturally have to pay something."
Wei Yuan considered his words and thought about how to persuade Cui Yu. What Cui Yu said is the most common situation nowadays, and it is also what everyone takes for granted.
At this time, Bao Yun suddenly said: "This matter should be caused by the Realm Lord giving the new city to me. Oh, the new city was actually given to the Bao family. Someone should have seen that it set a precedent and got interested. But there is one thing
You may not know that from the moment I decided on my title, a lot of good fortune has been bestowed upon me. And these good fortunes should have belonged to my junior brother."
Cui Yu immediately understood. Although what Bao Yun said was only from one angle, it was already unacceptable.
Cui Yu has been cultivating in the fireworks of the world these days, so he naturally understands how important luck is to Wei Yuan. In the past many battles, if it weren't for Wei Yuan's superior combat power, Qing Ming would have been destroyed long ago.
Shaking luck is the fundamental reason why Wei Yuan is disturbed. If others don't care, Cui Yu will be the first one not to agree. After the other cultivators from Taichu Palace knew how powerful it was, they naturally stood by Wei Yuan's side.
After reaching a consensus with the cultivators of Taichu Palace not to grant land, Wei Yuan suddenly felt much more relaxed.
At this time, Xu Henshui said to Wei Yuan: "Master Nephew Cui is right. If Qing Ming has a famous family, he must be named Wei. At this stage, we and other families should pay first, and wait until the overall situation is decided in the future.
, let’s talk about meritorious deeds and it’s never too late to reward them.”
Wei Yuan shook his head and said: "I don't have that big ambition. I just want to create a paradise where people can live, so that more mortals can live here."
At this time, most of the cultivators in Taichu Palace felt that this was just a trivial matter, and Wei Yuan just took this opportunity to gain their support, and it was enough to be able to continue the wartime strategy.
Then the cultivators dispersed, but Bao Yun stayed, and then also called Cui Yu.
Baoyun said to Wei Yuan: "The policy of military control cannot last long. Now that Qingming is getting stronger and stronger, people will gradually become prosperous and their thoughts will be full and rich.
So we have to think about our future strategies in advance.”
Cui Yu said: "Actually, all countries have ready-made strategies. The Tang Dynasty has been established for thousands of years. Isn't it enough to follow the examples made by our ancestors? Then on this basis, we will see if there are any good methods in the outer world, and we will use them."
Baoyun said: "Can't you see that junior brother doesn't like the aristocratic family?"
Cui Yu sighed: "Of course I know this. But in order to become a famous family, you must first start with an immortal. If there are immortals in a family, mortal monks are irresistible. They must be given enough land and resources to support the immortals and their families. Otherwise, the immortals will be destroyed."
Will take it for themselves. This is the origin of the aristocratic family. You can't stop it. You can only take advantage of the situation and follow the trend. After Qingming prospers, there must be some aristocratic families who want to intervene. This is also unstoppable and wants to fight against a group of people.
If you have an aristocratic family, you have to have another aristocratic family standing behind you. If you want to fight against two, you must have two by your side. The junior brother is from a humble background, so he must have external help on his rise. Taichu Palace alone cannot do it. Taichu Palace rises too fast.
, the stall is too big, and there are many people in the inner hall. Each hall has its own disciples and juniors who need to be taken care of. It is unprecedented and unimaginable that one-tenth of the resources will be allocated to the junior disciples in the future.
Naturally, I support my junior brother unconditionally, but now my voice in the family is not as good as that of an ordinary elder, so words are of little use. We have to use the method of giving Baojia New City to win real support from the family. "
Baoyun also felt that it made sense and was thoughtful.
Wei Yuan said: "The aristocratic family is something that will happen in the future. But now I still have a concern. Qing Ming was able to win so many battles, and the muskets were indispensable. But now King Jin has secretly formed an army, using imitations.
Muskets. In the future, more and more people will start to use muskets. So we have to prepare for a rainy day and think carefully about how to defeat our opponents who have learned from us."
This matter cannot be solved overnight, and Wei Yuan can only take it one step at a time. There must be similar experiences in the outer world, but Xu Wenwu doesn't know about it.
Cui Yu and Bao Yun were both leading the army, and both felt that it was very difficult at this time, so they planned to think carefully about countermeasures after returning.
Cui Yu and Bao Yun left together on the way. Cui Yu asked: "Sister Bao, how far have you and your junior brother progressed? Why do I feel that your relationship is weird?"
Baoyun sighed and said, "It's indeed very complicated. If there were only two of us, everything would be easy to talk about. But now that Qiongshan Fairy Island and Dabaohua Pure Land are involved, it is impossible for my family to sell me cheaply."
Junior brother and I have our own insistences, so let’s take it one step at a time. As for you, shouldn’t marriage be put on the agenda?”
Cui Yu smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "I am not a fairy, so the pressure is not as great as yours. Those noble girls from aristocratic families with similar status look down on my talent, and my family is not willing to be the target of the same Tianji, so I
I'm putting it off for now. I plan to talk about it after the Dharma has been achieved. If it doesn't become the Dharma, it will end up being an ant."
"Have you found the opportunity for Dharma?"
"Well, practicing in the Dharma of my junior and fellow disciples at night, my spirituality has been significantly improved, and I have learned an unprecedented way of operating my spiritual consciousness, which can handle multiple things at the same time. And how to decompose tasks, how to make task requirements reasonable, how to distribute them, how to
Supervise the progress of the task, and finally summarize and extract conclusions. Each step has strict rules---"-Oh, that's called an algorithm. How to improve the algorithm is also a university question that can be studied for a lifetime."
Baoyun asked for some more details, and then asked with a strange expression: "Do you really feel that you are practicing cultivation instead of working for him?
Cui Yu thought about it carefully, and his face gradually became strange.
Baoyun suddenly asked: "Is there a lot of vixen in his dharma image?"
Cui Yu recalled, and then said: "Every time I go in, I will be taken to practice. After that, I focus on practice. I don't pay much attention to the surroundings. "It is deliberately concealed. It seems that there must be a big secret inside." Baoyun said to herself.
At this time, Wei Yuan walked into the small building dedicated to handling political affairs, called in a few cultivators, handed them a list, and said: "Take down all the people on the list and interrogate them separately."
Several monks left in a hurry, and Wei Yuan ordered people to summon Xu Yi and Xu Waner, and handed them a list of questions respectively, saying: "A group of people will be sent to the prison in a while. You two will be responsible for the interrogation. Please put the questions on the list
Ask questions to understand."
The two women gave Wei Yuan a fierce look before leaving.
Wei Yuan was born with supernatural powers, and his spiritual consciousness was everywhere in Qingming. It was easy to check the whereabouts of some low-level monks. In addition, he clearly remembered all the information about all personnel in the army, so it didn't take long to delineate the possibility.
People who have contact with Liu Fei.
Most of the three battalions led by Liu Fei were Xu Jia's private troops and Western Jin official troops who had been conquered in the early days. At that time, Wei Yuan had not yet served as Jiedushi.
The identity system has not yet been implemented.
Therefore, these people were initially civilians, and some of them were about to become official officers and soldiers. However, they did not participate in Qingming's first and most difficult battles.
And these people are not like those who first joined Qingming, who regard the realm as their last place of refuge. Many of them actually have family members in the Xu family, but they are small families and can never afford to pay.
The ransom demanded by Qing Ming was thus divided.
At this time, Wei Yuan realized that he had overlooked an issue, that is, Liu Fei and Xu Jia private soldiers had known each other from the beginning, and had been together since they were incorporated into the army. Later, they incorporated some new soldiers and expanded them into a battalion.
, but the skeleton is still the same as the original batch of descendants of the Xu family.
The matter could be big or small, and Wei Yuan began to ponder the pros and cons of various solutions.
At this time, in a barracks of the left army camp, several officers were gathered together, most of them were commanders, and one was a captain leading two battalions.
"I heard that Liu Fei has been imprisoned. He won't talk nonsense, right?" A conductor worried.
Another conductor glared and said, "It's not a big deal even if he said it, we just had that wish and didn't do anything!
Right, General Feng?"
The captain nodded: "We don't ask for anything for ourselves, we just want some compensation for the brothers who died in the war, so that their families can live in peace of mind. If this doesn't work, then Qing Ming doesn't stay!"
"General Feng, the Realm Lord's power is boundless, so we are forced into the palace, right? Can we leave, and where can we go?"
The captain smiled mysteriously and said: "Even if we don't take the soldiers with us, with our Taoist cultivation, we can't make a living anywhere. What's more, there are people who are hungry for talents. As long as you follow me, I will be able to obtain glory and wealth."
A place like this! It’s better than fighting here every day without any benefit.”
Before he finished speaking, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and then the windows were smashed. More than a dozen cultivators rushed in. The leading monk glanced at the list, then looked at everyone in the barracks, and shouted: "They are all on the list, take them all."
Down!"
The officers were shocked and angry, and shouted: "What are you going to do? I have just made a great contribution!"
The leading monk said coldly: "I am taking orders from the Realm Lord. Anyone who disobeys will die! If you have anything to say, please tell the Realm Lord!"
In addition to this place, officers in several barracks were arrested.
Chapter completed!
