Negotiations with these tribal leaders and local Han people were just the beginning, and Suning also saw that no matter what, no matter how attractive his conditions were, if Feng Ang was not satisfied, it would definitely cause some bad things. Even if he could use his own interests, sometimes these tribes and Han lords all cooperated with him, but this is unstable. The Feng family has too deep foundation here. Not to mention whether those interests can break the bond between them, it is to destroy the Feng family. Then the following power vacuum in Lingnan will cause bloodshed.

Suning didn't want to die any more. The Three Kingdoms, the Five Barbarians invaded China, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Hou Jing Rebellion, and the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the blood of the Han people had already flowed enough. From the peak of the 50 million population at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it seemed that God intended to prevent the Han people from continuing to prosper. Until the Song Dynasty, the population of this 50 million was surpassed and maintained, while the population of 50 million was too small compared to this land.

The number of Han people was not large. In recent years, the number of Han people has gradually increased. However, compared with the Hu people around, it is at most equal. Unlike the Hu people in the north, most of the Yi people in the south were driven out of the Central Plains during the formation of the Huaxia people. There are also the Huaxia people who went south to take refuge during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as the remnants of the Chu State, as well as the Sanmiao and Shanyue people, who were not much different from the Han people in terms of blood ties and cultural customs. In the future, it will be a real place in China.

Compared with the northern Hu people who repeatedly posed huge threats to the Central Plains dynasty and had a deep hatred for blood, the southern barbarians were not strong in combat. They were not violent in rebellion and could not compete with the Central Plains forces. They were in a position of oppression and bullied for a long time, so they naturally had no less resistance. However, they were not a confidant after all, and the Jiangnan area they were in was the money granary of the Tang Dynasty in the blueprint of Suning's plan. Their rebellion was not beneficial to the development of Jiangnan.

Therefore, if we can end this turmoil in a peaceful way, let Jiangnan enter a truly peaceful era, wipe out all forces with ill-mindedness, and by the way, we can also regain these barbarians, let them build their hometowns, and let them pay taxes for the Tang Dynasty. All the Tang Dynasty needs to do is to give them safety and national identity. Compared with the Hu people in the north, Suning is more willing to accept the southerners. Integrate them into the blood of the Huaxia people a period of time in advance, and there is no need to wait for the Southern Song Dynasty.

Only by stabilizing the rear can we continue to head north, east and west.

Then, the process of satisfying Feng Ang, stabilizing Feng Ang, and reducing his power and making him a mascot will be a bit long. As the largest and most powerful family in Lingnan, it is not easy for the Feng family to gradually deprive his power and become a family with only wealth and fame. The process of the British gradually depriving the power of the royal family for hundreds of years, but Suning can wait for less than a few hundred years.

"It's really surprising that the court can offer such conditions. It seems that the court's sincerity is beyond doubt." After seeing off the guests, Feng Ann stood in front of the door and said to Suning, who was still sitting in the seat to eat.

Suning said while eating: "Since Duke Feng has seen the sincerity of the court, should we let the court look at Duke Feng's sincerity? Only by communicating with courtesy can we communicate with each other, otherwise, it will not look good!"

Feng Ang looked at Suning's indifferent face, sighed imperceptibly, and said, "Tomorrow I will order that the Audit Department and the Maritime Bureau can be re-operated. The Feng family will take the initiative to cooperate with the offices of the Audit Department and the Maritime Bureau, and will also try their best to urge other families, big and small, to accept the arrangements of the Audit Department and the Maritime Bureau, including Zhang Wuhui's arrangements."

Suning nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, the court has also seen Duke Feng's sincerity."

Feng Ang walked to the opposite side of Suning, sat down, stared at Suning and said, "Then, can we continue to talk?"

Suning put down his chopsticks, took a sip of wine, and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's natural. Since Gong Feng has seen his sincerity, then Gong Feng can put forward the conditions. Of course, the three rules should be based on the premise of the rules. There is no need to discuss the rules, whether it is them, Gong Feng, or anyone."

Feng Ang said: "I naturally understand this point, and you don't need to say that this is the lowest limit. I will not be able to make a fuss. However, I also need to make sure of some things. I know that Lingnan alone cannot fight against the Tang Dynasty, so I rejected the suggestion of splitting the soil and becoming king in the early years of Wude. In the fifth year of Zhenguan, I never wanted to rebel.

However, in this world, there are some things that must be there. If not, wouldn’t they just let others roll flat and round? I also understand this principle, of course, Su Hou, you also understand it, right? Since that is the case, I have to confirm whether these conditions will make me lose those things?"

Suning shook his head: "Mr. Feng is a smart man. If these things are done, it will definitely make Feng realize that although Mr. Feng is not a rival to the court, if Lingnan is blood flowing, the court does not want to see it, and it cannot accept it. Therefore, the court will not reduce the power that Mr. Feng had before. He just asked Mr. Feng to stand on the same line as the court when using these powers, help the court and stabilize Lingnan. Lingnan has stabilized and developed. The court is willing to see it, and Mr. Feng is also willing."

Feng Ang asked: "Is this the court's request? The court requires me to obey the order?"

Suning nodded: "That's right, the Feng family's prestige in Lingnan also understood that Lingnan needs the Feng family and Feng Gong. If not, many people will rise up and fight for the position that the Feng family originally occupied. Then, bloodshed incidents will not be avoided. Everyone is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. After defeating the Shandong gentry, I don't want to see the people of the Tang Dynasty kill each other. They can be resolved through negotiation. Don't use weapons. The soldiers will only use the helpless people of the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, Mr. Feng didn't just lose anything. In many things, Mr. Feng needs to make a gesture. The Feng family is the co-rule of Lingnan. The court issued an order. If everyone is willing to follow it, it would be better. If there is a disagreement, Mr. Feng needs to help the court and let the court's government orders be realized."

Feng Ann did not nod and agreed, but frowned and asked, "What government order? This should be very important."

Suning smiled and said, "Yes, it's really important. If Duke Feng took the lead, it would probably be difficult for the court to accomplish this in Lingnan. However, this must be done. Therefore, I hope Duke Feng will understand the righteousness and help the court complete this decree. Then other things, maritime matters, and even the special mining rights of two or three islands, can be negotiated."

Feng Ang frowned and said, "Tell me, what do I need to do."

Suning said: "Mr. Feng must also be clear that the land of Guanzhong, Shandong, Hebei, and Shuzhong have gradually begun to fully popularize the law of equal land. The law of equal land is the national policy of the Tang Dynasty. It is crucial and must be observed. However, this national policy is difficult to implement in Jiangnan, and it is almost impossible to see how the law of equal land is implemented in Jiangnan.

The court planned to gradually implement the method of equal land in Jiangnan during the development of Jiangnan. There were two major problems. First, there were not many land without owners, and second, there were not many households. According to the method of equal land, one male person divided into 20 mu of Yongye land and eighty mu of land, totaling one hundred mu. If there were two males or even three males in this family, then two hundred mu or even three hundred mu of land were needed. Most of the land in Jiangnan was occupied by local tyrants, tribes and aristocratic families, and the court had almost no compulsory land.

This is one. The court did not have enough households in the south of the Yangtze River. Most people have been tenants under a large landlord to avoid paying taxes or pass them down from ancestors. They often have tenants and tens of thousands of tenants in the family. However, the number of households in the prefectures and counties in the court was pitifully small. Although the court has implemented the three-rank system since the Northern Wei Dynasty to try to strengthen the court's control over households, there has been no great results under the constant war and natural disasters.

Now that the Tang Dynasty was established, the world was peaceful, and the system of three chiefs was fully implemented. In addition, Guanzhong was the place where the Tang Dynasty started, both the method of equal land and the system of three chiefs were well implemented. Now Guanzhong is developing extremely prosperously and other northern places and Shuzhong are gradually being implemented. However, in the vast land in Jiangnan, there is almost no equal land and almost no three chiefs. What should I do?

The Feng family is not only in the country, but also in Jiangnan. If Mr. Feng took the lead in responding to the court's policies, it would have a good effect compared to the court's implementation of the law of equalizing land and the three-rank system in Jiangnan. I wonder what Mr. Feng wanted to do?"

Feng Ang just stared at Suning and said, "Mr. Su, you should know that land, divisions, and tenants are the foundation of the family, the family's industry, and the foundation of the ancestors. It was passed down from generation to generation. Does Mr. Su want to give up the foundation of the ancestors with one or two islands and spices? That's not because I took advantage of it, but because many emperors and Feng's family paid for it themselves to purchase each piece of land. Every piece of land was visible. If the court wanted to rob it, it would be not that easy, right?"

Suning smiled and waved his hand and said, "I haven't finished my words yet. Why is Mr. Feng angry? Of course, I know that these land divisions and tenants are the foundation of the family. There are thousands of acres of fiefdoms, and a tenant farm and a group of tenants. It's just that the number is very small. The meaning of the following is not to exchange for these land and tenant farmers for shipping, islands and Feng Gong. I just hope to do a business with Mr. Feng. Well, the court should have a business with Jiangnan."

Feng Ang said coldly: "What business?"

Suning said: "Mr. Feng owns more than 10,000 acres of land, it is not a secret. Everyone knows that, but is the output of these 10,000 acres of land a lot? Mr. Feng owns a 10,000-person unit and tenants, which is not a secret. However, is it easy to bear the food, drink, defecation and urination of these 10,000 people? It is not right!"

Feng Ann snorted: "No matter how difficult the ancestors are, Feng Ann will protect them! Otherwise, what kind of face will they meet with their ancestors! There is no need to talk about this matter!"

Suning smiled and said, "Donald Feng, what if the imperial court exchanged rice, potatoes, and corn seeds with advanced agricultural practices in the Central Plains?"

Feng Ang was stunned and then stared at Suning: "Say it again!"

Suning thanked Fang Xuanling for his strong policy of not allowing a seed to flow into the south of the Yangtze River. He smiled and said, "The court did not allow any seeds of potatoes, corn and rice to flow into the south of the Yangtze River before. The control was extremely strict. This must have troubled Mr. Feng. Lingnan crops are ripening twice or even three times a year, but they are still far less than the output of one ripening every year in Guanzhong. Mr. Feng should also know what is the difference between the yield of those crops and the yield of the crops on Mr. Feng's hand?
