Chapter 424 Contradiction (2)

Luo Renqiong looked at the generals and officials in the house. Except for a few subordinates who came from Hangzhou, the remaining three locals: Hu Li is a local rich family, and there are not much land, and several of his nephews have already gone to Hangzhou to join the army; Hu Keji is the leader of nearby fishermen, who used to wander on the water, and there was almost no place to stand on the shore; Yu Zhiheng was Qian Miao's old subordinate, who was originally used to suppress local forces, so he naturally had no foundation in Taizhou, and he was in Taiwan in his name.

If the highest commander of the state wants to save the land and feed the people, they will not lose much, and they can even get some benefits through equal fields. If some of the wealthy families can get some benefits from it, they will be fine. Thinking of this, Luo Renqiong had a sudden inspiration and asked Hu Li: "Mr. Hu, when I was in the army, I heard from Judge Gao that Zhou Hubiao, the legitimate son of the Zhou family in Ninghai, was quite unsuccessful at home and wanted to surrender. If we pull him over, can he be used by me?"

Hu Li frowned and thought for a while, and replied, "I have heard of this news. I heard that Zhou Hubiao was born in a strange state, with black hair all over his body. When he was sixteen or seventeen years old, he looked like about thirty people. His father hated him very much. In addition, his mother passed away recently, and the position of legitimate son is in danger. It would not be difficult to win over this person, but it would be difficult to borrow this person to control the Zhou family in Ninghai to promote the affairs of Dutian and Caimin. The affairs of Dutian and Caimin were like asking someone to cut his flesh with a knife. Not to mention that he was not the head of the Zhou family. Even if the head of the family expressed his support for the Dutian and Caimin, it would be difficult to go out alive. If you stay behind, don't make this idea!"

After hearing Hu Li's words, Luo Renqiong thought about it, but still felt that what the other party said made sense. He could only sigh and lower his head to continue thinking hard. Everyone in the room was speechless. After a long time, a strange sound suddenly came out. Luo Renqiong raised his head and saw that everyone looked strange. Just as the sound was just a strange sound. Luo Renqiong heard clearly that it was the gurgling sound of hunger in his stomach. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Forget it, the emperor is not a hungry soldier. It's not a solution to endure hunger like this. Everyone should go to have a full stomach first, and think about it."

Except for Hu Li, everyone was a strong man. They poured bowls of bitter tea in the morning. They were already hungry at this time. However, Luo Renqiong did not speak, and no one dared to mention this matter. After obtaining permission, they stood up and rushed out. Hu Keji smiled and said, "I have been hungry for a long time. It's all the blame for Zhou Hubiao. If he were like us, I'd better stay behind a letter and come obediently."

Everyone laughed loudly. What Hu Keji said just now was clearly nonsense. If Zhou Hubiao was not the legitimate son of the Zhou family in Ninghai, he was just an ordinary poor man, who would have any idea of ​​him? While everyone was sneering, Luo Renqiong suddenly stopped. Hu Li, who was on the side, took a few steps, but found that he did not follow. When he looked back, he found Luo Renqiong standing there blankly, his face full of gains.

"Leave it? Leave it? What's wrong with you!" Hu Li turned around, walked to Luo Renqiong, and called softly.

Luo Renqiong seemed to hear nothing, just stood there blankly, but the expression on his face gradually changed from gaining something to ecstasy. Huli saw him like this and was about to wake him up, and was afraid that he would have suffered from some absentia. The random slap would hurt the other party's soul. While he was hesitating, Luo Renqiong suddenly laughed and said, "I understand, I understand, just make Zhou Hubiao look like you."

Everyone was stunned by Luo Renqiong's sudden actions and did not dare to come forward to persuade him. Luo Renqiong shouted several times, and saw the strange expressions on everyone's faces and smiled: "Do you think I'm crazy? No, I have come up with a way to implement this method of saving the fields and fostering the people."

Among the other few people, if they are knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with things, they will naturally count Huli. He didn't know whether Luo Renqiong was really sick at this time, but he knew that if Luo Renqiong was really sick, it would be best to follow the other party's tone at this time and must not disobey. He angered the other party, and then said with a smile: "What the left behind is naturally correct, but can you tell me this method."

"What's wrong?" Luo Renqiong smiled and said, "Let me ask you, you and Xiaowei Hu are both from Taizhou, so why don't you object to this matter of saving the fields and raising the people?"

"This?" Hu Li was stunned and immediately replied: "We should take the salary of Mr. Lu, so we must follow Mr. Lu's orders."

"Not bad!" Luo Renqiong nodded and smiled, "But this is not the whole reason. There is another reason. Lao Hu's clan does not have much land in your clan. You are just the leader of the fisherman, and there is no loss in the land. Moreover, as officials in the state, you naturally have the land and official shade that the court has allocated. This matter of saving the land and providing resources to the people is beneficial to you, so you will naturally not object."

"The analysis of the left-behind is incisive, I admire it very much!" Hu Li heard this and confirmed that Luo Renqiong was very normal in spirit. Otherwise, he would never be able to say such clear words. A heart could only be counted as he said. As Luo Renqiong said just now, since the Han Dynasty, Chinese officials have more or less certain privileges of exemption from duty. The size of privileges is determined according to the size of their official positions. Unlike these gathering corpses in Taizhou and the local tyrants who separatist the side, these privileges are legal. Hearing this, Hu Cai had already guessed Luo Renqiong's meaning, and his heart's evaluation of the left-behind warrior was a little higher.

Luo Renqiong smiled and said, "The reason why those powerful landlords opposed us in diving the fields and wealthy people is just to protect the existing fields and wealthy families. Okay, I will tell Zhou Hubiao that if he supports me in promoting diving the fields and wealthy people after seizing the Zhou family, I will not only support him in inheriting the position of the head of the Zhou family, but also appoint him as an official of the court. In this way, his fields and divisions will naturally become legal, so he will naturally not oppose me. As for whether other local tyrants die or live, he will never care."

Everyone felt that it seemed good, but they always felt something was wrong. Could it be that such a simple matter cannot be solved so easily? Suddenly, Yu Zhiheng looked up and asked, "Luo Liushou, the Zhou family in Ninghai has nearly a thousand hectares of land and more than 4,000 people. How could there be so many official positions in the world? Even if there are, we can't afford it."

Luo Renqiong had obviously figured out the beginning and end at this time, and smiled without thinking: "A official does not have so many shaded households and fields, but we can ask Zhou Hubiao to open a list, and we recommend it all, and then we will have it together. If it is not enough, we will report the remaining shaded households as military offices. Anyway, the military office does not have to pay taxes. I will give Zhou Hubiao a Xuanjie captain and let him command those troops. There are only six or seven people here, five hundred soldiers. How can we control such a large Taizhou? As long as he can flatten all the local wealthy families for us and promote the matter of saving the fields and raising the people, even if the Zhou family has given him all the land population, what's the harm? We will always make a profit."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. At present, what they could control was less than fifty miles outside Linhai City, less than two thousand refugees who were accommodated in a place less than fifty miles away. If they could pull Zhou Hubiao over as Luo Renqiong said, it would be a big profit. At this time, a former subordinate of Luo Renqiong asked: "If this is the case, will Zhou Hubiao be too powerful?"

"Too big? At that time, the fields and resources were completed. He was the only one in Ninghai Zhou family in Taizhou. If he could die, he would take down one county. I would use the manpower and material resources of the remaining counties to deal with him. Not to mention that we still have foreign aid, it would be a matter of repeal to destroy him? What's more, so many people in the Zhou family were working in the government at that time, so maybe everyone would be buried with him, right?" Luo Renqiong said with a smile.

"But we can think of this, and Zhou Hubiao can naturally think of it too, what if he refuses?" The subordinate did not give up and continued to break the pot and ask to the end.

"Reject, if he refuses such preferential conditions, naturally other tyrants will agree to deal with their Zhou family. These tyrants are already full of conflicts. If we want to catch them all in one go, they will unite to deal with us. But if we guarantee their own interests in advance, they will immediately betray the rest of the people. Besides, his situation is awkward, and even if he doesn't think about himself, those subordinates who follow him will force him to accept our conditions when they see them saying goodbye to each other."

Luo Renqiong's confident words suddenly exasperated his subordinates. As he said, Zhou Hubiao could not refuse his conditions, because if he refused, who could guarantee that the next opponent who received this proposal would happily accept the conditions and give himself a knife? After all, they were mortal enemies. In this chaotic world, "It's better to be the murderer than to be the victim" is everyone's consensus.

"It's a clever way to stay. Use the knife of the rich to kill these rich people. We will not be sad if anyone dies. This is a sure profit and loss deal, haha!" Hu Keji, who understood Luo Renqiong's intention, laughed and said, "Zhou Hubiao likes to eat grilled fish the most. I have an old acquaintance. Grilled fish is a great idea. Tomorrow I will go to find the guy to come out to eat fish, and just tell him about this."

"Let's wait!" Hu Li stopped and turned around and bowed to Luo Renqiong and said, "It's important to stay behind and be an official in the office without authorization. It's better to report to Hangzhou first and report the blank to take the blank. Moreover, civil affairs must be prepared by military affairs. We must also beware of Zhou Hubiao's counterattack. Prophet Huimingzhou and Gong Lu's side, and make more preparations to avoid temporary failure."
