Qin Shaoyou smiled. From Yang Jiong's perspective, it was understandable. They were not ordinary people. Shen Ce Mansion was in Hongnong, so of course they had to ask for their meaning.

But for Qin Shaoyou, that's not the case.

He could almost imagine that if he discussed the military and political affairs of the Tiance Prefecture with Yang Jiong, the result would probably be to continue the previous practices of the imperial court against Hongnong.

It is nothing more than appointing a few officials, but the rule is almost all in the hands of aristocratic families of all sizes. It is nothing more than collecting grain and tycoons. What the Tiance Mansion can do is to repair bridges, build roads, maintain river embankments, and set up several schools. No matter how many, it is considered to be crossing the line.

This structure is normal and has been like this for thousands of years.

But in reality, the efficiency is extremely low. Almost everything needs to be done by the gentry. The civil servants only know the gentry masters, but do not know that the Shence Mansion will collect more than 100,000 harbors of food in a year, so you will have nothing to do.

Compared with the current situation in Mengjin, it is really far from each other. Mengjin's model is that Shence Mansion controls all aspects. Shence Mansion almost directly contacts the civil servants. Everything the civil servants do is closely related to Shence Mansion, and any decisions of Shence Mansion are also closely related to the civil servants.

It seems to be quite centralized, but in fact, efficiency can be greatly increased, breaking the pastoral life, but gathering people together and producing more efficiently. As for controlling the civilians, it is natural. If you don’t control them, there will always be aristocratic people to control them. If you don’t let them generate greater productivity, the aristocratic people will naturally use their labor to make profits. If you don’t recruit these strong men to strengthen themselves, the aristocratic people will recruit them to be private soldiers.

To put it bluntly, the local structure is now three levels. The first level is the government, the second level is the gentry, and the third level is the common people. There is almost no connection between the government and the common people. This link is the gentry. The gentry is not only an important talent training base for the government, but also provides good talents to the government, and at the same time it collects taxes and manages the common people. In Mengjin, there is no status of the gentry. There is no agent between the Shence Mansion and the common people, so there will naturally be no loss in the middle. This loss is extremely amazing, because the government must collect 100 kilograms of grain, and the gentry often needs to collect 300 kilograms of grain before a 100 kilograms of real grain is handed over to the government. This is still at the foot of the emperor. The wealthy families in Guandong are actually quite regular. If it were other places, the kind of tyrants would have to expand the loss to ten times.

Shence Mansion does not need such an agent. In other words, the gentry will not have any foothold in the Mengjin model. This is why Qin Shaoyou made up his mind. He pursed his lips and smiled: "Donald Yang, it is natural to implement benevolent government, but Shence Mansion acts. It cannot be leaked at will, otherwise, there will inevitably be rumors."

Yang Jiong's face changed slightly, and he had always been very polite. In fact, Yang Jiong is a good person and is kind to others. Originally, he came out to negotiate and thought Qin Shaoyou would give him some face. Who knew that others didn't know what the face was at all? Yang Jiong was immediately angry and couldn't help but look at Wang Ju.

Wang Ju smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking, Uncle Shi, what do you think I am doing? There is a vengeance and debt. He smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, what is your highness meant, uh... means..." He couldn't think of any twists and turns for a moment. Qin Shaoyou said it so clearly, and he just pointed at Yang Jiong's forehead and cursed, "What are you worthy of talking about military and political affairs with me. I have said such words, how should I modify it myself."

Yang Jiong smiled coldly, knowing that Wang Ju was wearing a pair of pants with Qin Shaoyou, he suddenly stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I understand what Your Highness means. It's not too early, so I'll say goodbye."

Lift your legs and leave.

Qin Shaoyou hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Mr. Yang sat down again. I have good tea here, carefully prepared super princess tea."

Yang Jiong's face turned pale: "I don't think it's necessary. It's better to drink your own tea. Other people's tea can't be used to it."

Wang Ju hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Shi calmed down. Your Highness is a warrior and may not speak. In fact, Your Highness really wants to be friends with Uncle Shi, but it is just a bit military and political..."

Yang Jiong bowed to Qin Shaoyou and bowed: "Your Highness, say goodbye."

So he left.

Yang Jiong was really angry. In fact, he was really worried. Because Mengjin's model was terrible, he could see clearly that Mengjin had no place for the gentry from the inside out. There, the farmers were directly controlled by all aspects of the Shence Mansion. They studied, farmed, and worked hard, almost all of them were inseparable from the Shence Mansion. As for merchants, they were just their lubricants, and inside, they were more like a huge manor, and there was no place for the gentry to establish a foothold.

He was afraid that Qin Shaoyou would push this trick to Hongnong. If this is the case, what should we do if there are so many lands in the Yang family, so many farmers, and so many private soldiers?

Since Qin Shaoyou is unwilling to talk, his attitude is naturally self-evident. This is a fundamental dispute over interests, and it is already a bayonet. Whatever you talk about is fake.

In Hongnong, there are still many people looking forward to their reply. Yang Jiong had no intention of staying here for a long time. He left Shence Mansion and ordered his followers to return home.

Qin Shaoyou and Wang Ju stayed in the central hall. Wang Ju just smiled bitterly, and he couldn't help but touch his forehead: "In the past, I assassinated Wu Sansi and was arrested by various states, but now I am following His Highness again. I am afraid that from now on, many people will be ruthless with their students."

Qin Shaoyou did not comfort him. He gently put his finger on the desk, thoughtfully and said, "What's this? We are doing the right thing."

This sentence hits Wang Ju's heart.

We are doing the right thing.

In addition to the kindness of knowing one's grace, there are also the feelings accumulated over the past. This is the only reason why Wang Ju stands on Qin Shaoyou's side resolutely.

Mengjin's model allowed Yang Jiong to clearly see a new world. He now realized that when people gathered and divided the labor and cooperated, their production efficiency could be many times that of self-sufficiency. It turned out that people who worked together and used some knowledgeable people to lead the way, the things they made would be several times better than self-sufficiency and the skills they figured out by themselves. It turned out that many inconspicuous things, such as the most common cloth, small households sitting alone at home, not only have poor quality and poor color, but also a person can weave dozens of feet in a year. However, people gathered to buy or customize, or improve better textile machines, and the output of a person can reach hundreds or even thousands of feet even after a single person's design, and because of the specialized personnel, the color of the style is even more vivid.

What a thousand people did now only need one or two hundred people to complete, and the income is better. So the excess people can free up their hands to do other businesses. As long as people gather, everything can be produced. Tea, porcelain, firecrackers, tea oil, fur, and wood tools are like this. Because large-scale production requires more wood and iron tools, these two industries are more vigorous, and the large-scale production of iron tools can also be accompanied by better farm tools. Better farm tools are not only cheap, but also often more efficient. There are farmers in Mengjin now, but farmers here are often responsible for dozens of acres of land alone, not because they are strong, but just because their tools are better, and they have cattle, horses and other animal power to replace more manpower.

Wang Ju was almost certain that the value generated by Mengjin was even higher than that of several Hongnong counties. A small county was worth dozens of counties. Now, since Your Highness was granted Hongnong, what reason should he compromise with the aristocratic family? Will Hongnong still let men farm and women weave in the old model and produce self-sufficiently? That's a pity, it's simply a waste of resources.

But if the entire Hongnong County can reach the level of a small Mengjin County, what does this mean?

Wang Ju didn't dare to think about it. He only knew that he was doing the right thing, no matter how much resistance he was, he had to try it.

"Your Highness, it seems that Hongnong is inappropriate, next..."

Qin Shaoyou sighed, he couldn't help but go to take a sip of tea, pondering for a moment: "At present, it seems that there is no other way, so he will fight and crush them into powder."

Grind into powder.

Wang Ju was stunned. These people are gentry. Could it be that they are strong? Doesn’t your Highness know how powerful these people are? Once they are scattered, it will be an uncontrollable situation. Hongnong has not been digested yet. Does your Highness have to rely on a small Mengjin County to fight against the entire world? Even the Guanlong family likes to see the Guandong gentry unlucky, but they never hope that Qin Shaoyou will set a precedent for directly using bloody means to attack the gentry. After all, you can do this today, and if you can still get away with it after doing it, who knows that tomorrow, the knife will be placed on your neck?
