In fact, the people of Lingshui Village are not heinous and evil.
No one is perfect!
The series of tragedies in Lingshui Village indeed originated from the old Xu family. It is true that the old Xu family also helped the village a lot, but equally, the villagers also helped the Xu family a lot.
This family is short-term and is a mess.
You have grievances, I have grievances, who in this world is not aggrieved
…
In Linyao City, Xu Laosan didn't know what the villagers in Lingshui Village were thinking. He was so busy now that he wished he had ten or eight more avatars to deal with various things.
The mining of gold mines was carried out in an orderly manner, and then the gold refined from the mining was used to buy rice, grain and firewood. When the people had money in their hands, they quickly invested it in purchasing food.
In this way, the money began to circulate.
The continuous purchase of rice grains soon led to an increase in the price of rice grains in various parts of the Tang Dynasty.
The reason for the price increase is because Xu Laosan obtained dog food through various methods, which caused the rice food in Jiangnan to be in short supply.
In fact, Xu Laosan is not the only one who buys grain from all over Jiangnan.
Jie Yun Dao is also buying grain, and local aristocratic families are also secretly storing grain.
The world is about to be in chaos. Regardless of whether the local aristocratic families want to get involved or not, they all need to save food in order to protect themselves.
Once the world is in chaos and wars break out, many places may fall into chaos. Without a stable environment, how can people still farm with peace of mind
If you can't farm well, the output of this land will definitely be reduced a lot.
If people can't even feed themselves by farming, why would they sell food to takeaways

Everyone says that antiques in prosperous times are gold in troubled times.
In fact, there is a big omission in this statement.
In troubled times, gold may not be worth a bag of grain.
Of course, gold can buy food.
But if no one sells it to you, no matter how much gold you have, what's the point of it
"Have food prices gone up?"
When Hu Yong, the director of the grain depot who was ordered to go to Jiangnan to purchase grain, came back and informed Xu Laosan of the changes in grain prices there, Xu Laosan just smiled. This was expected.
In these days, the people he arranged to go to Jiangnan alone purchased no less than five million taels of food. And in the Tang Dynasty, his family was not the only one buying and storing grain.
After such a long period of trading, it would be strange that the price of Jiangnan rice grains does not increase.
"Since the price has increased, there is no need to go to Jiangnan to buy grain!"
Xu Laosan chuckled and said, "How is the contact with the maritime merchants?"
"We've been contacted, but do we really want to go to Ninan to buy food?"
"certainly!"
Xu Laosan glanced at Hu Yong, "Not only are I going to Rinan to buy food, if possible, I also plan to send people to occupy this small place in Rinan!"
"What?"
When Hu Yong heard Xu Laosan's purpose, he felt bad instantly.
Rinan was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Nichinan has occasionally done things, but overall he is still very good. When Emperor Yongping was on the throne, even the rulers of Rinan were canonized by the Tang Dynasty.
"Third Master, you didn't tell the Marquis about your thoughts, right?"
"Master Hu, this idea came from my father!"
Xu Laosan shrugged.
Hu Yong was completely dumbfounded.
Although Rinan Kingdom borders the Tang Dynasty, it is adjacent to the Jiuzhen Mansion of the Tang Dynasty. To the north of Jiuzhen Mansion is Jiannan Mansion, but there is a huge mountain range between them.
If you take the land route, Jiuzhen Prefecture must pass through Hengzhou Prefecture, Yundian Prefecture, Shuixi Prefecture, and then reach Jiangcheng Prefecture to reach Xiangyi Prefecture.
Regardless of whether it was Hengzhou Prefecture, Yundian Prefecture, or Shuixi Prefecture, they were all places where the Tang Dynasty's rule was weak.
These three mansions are the territory of the Li people's chieftains.
On the surface, they obeyed the leadership of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, these three palaces were countries within a country.
"Third Master, this is inappropriate!"
Hu Yong looked at Xu Laosan seriously, "Before, Xiaguan was in charge of the rice and grain trade in Jiangnan, and he also met the people of Liming Tusi. They were also short of food."
"Even if we occupy Nichinan Kingdom, relying on those ships on the sea, Nichinan Kingdom will be an enclave to us!"
"But if we take the land route, the chieftain of the Li people will definitely not let us pass freely."
"I think it's feasible to buy grain from Nichinan. After all, rice from Nichinan is harvested three times a year, and their rice is cheap. Even if we ship by sea, we won't lose money!"
"But if we take the land route, once it is robbed by the Li tribe, our work will be in vain."
Hu Yong firmly believed that it was unwise to attack Japan.
"Master Hu, everything you said is right!"
Xu Laosan smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about it, what if we simply take over all the three prefectures controlled by the Li people's chieftains?"
"How can this be?"
Hu Yong was even more shocked.
"Jiannan Mansion, Jie Luck Dao established the country, they can't watch us take down the three chieftains of the Li people."
"This, Master Hu doesn't have to worry!"
Xu Laosan chuckled, "It's not too difficult to capture the three houses of the Li people's chieftains."
"As you said, the Li people's chieftain tribe is also short of food."
"As long as we solve their food shortage problem, then the three chieftains of the people will not be a problem!"
"How can this be?"
"The people of Li are very hostile to foreigners, and the reason why they surrendered to the Tang Dynasty was an expedient measure. Over the years, they have been part of the Tang Dynasty on the surface, but in fact, they have never abided by the laws of the imperial court."
"Master Hu, well, the mountain man has his own clever plan."
A clever idea
Of course it was Fu Bao's idea.
People, ethnic minorities!
Ethnic minorities have few people and have their own characteristics. However, their xenophobia is ultimately due to a lack of security. They are afraid that outsiders will enter their territory and encroach on them little by little, or find opportunities to eliminate them.
Therefore, Fubao’s suggestion is autonomy.
People's self-government!
Of course, the existing people's chieftains have to be overthrown and started over.
Chieftains are the kings of the people. They have ruled the people for generations, and there are many ambitious ones among them.
The founder of the Tang Dynasty, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, also implemented autonomy in his rule over the people. But it is obvious that this time-traveling senior has some deviations from the people's autonomy.
There is no problem with people's autonomy.
But the existing class solidification must be disrupted.
A group of dragons, without their heads, would be useless.
The Taizu of the Tang Dynasty once used the method of reforming the native land and returning it to the local people, but unfortunately, it was not successful. The chieftain is still the leader of the people, while the officials sent by the imperial court to the three houses of the people are puppets.
The idea that Fubao provided to his third brother was an enhanced version of reforming the land and returning it to the local people. The official was only the arbiter, and the affairs of the people were left to the common people and the chieftain to rule together.
There is an innate class opposition between ordinary Limin people and Limin chieftains.
If they sit in the same position, there will inevitably be a dispute. At that time, it will be the arbiter, that is, the waiter who comes to take the lead.
Of course, this is all just a hypothesis.
To do this, we must first capture the three houses of Li Min, and it is still early. (End of chapter)
