With Li Yuanshu's laughter, Xiao Jichen took a deep breath and said, "in that case, I can only dismiss Xue Cheng's sailors. If they have a deed of sale, I can give it to Mr. Li for free."
"However, I'm just a concubine of the Xiao family and can't lead such a big decision. I need to go back to Qufu to report to my elders. I can guarantee that there is a decision in the Xiao family. I'll hurry up after the morning meeting and report back to my husband."
All slaves are automatically free, they have to pay taxes in business, their treatment is improved, and so on? Xiao Jichen really has countless slots to vomit, but he can't spit it out. Li Yuanshu can fly in the sky. This is witnessed by a large number of people. It's not fake.
With only one flying ability, he must sell face. Hundreds of thousands of Xue Cheng members in the caravan can retire.
As for going back to Qufu and reporting the tax payment to the elders?
Of course, this is an excuse. When he returns, many days have passed. At that time, what will be the state of Li Yuanshu on Xue Cheng's side and what will be the state of Xue Cheng's autonomy? There are others who are the vanguard of the Xiao family to inquire.
Xuecheng has become autonomous. The most urgent thing should be senior officials such as Yunzhou governor and governor. The living standard of Xuecheng people has increased sharply? The most urgent thing should be senior gentry officials such as the nearby Liangdao house. You should know that Xuecheng house and the capital of Liangdao house can run back and forth along the waterway in more than a day.
If Xue Cheng becomes a paradise in the world, the ordinary grass-roots people of Liang Dao's house will not hesitate to sneak into the country if they don't come in groups. Once Liang Dao's house has no grass-roots people, who will return the gentry and Haozu of Liang Dao's house as slaves and maidservants?
He Xiao Jichen didn't need to do anything in a hurry. He didn't need to express his position in a hurry. As long as he waited for news on his way home, he could wait for the most favorable news.
He also wants to see if Li Yuanshu, who has won the fortune and can master the power of flying, can withstand the suppression of gentry and haos in Liang Daofu, Yunzhou and other places.
Li Yuanshu's sense of the Xiao family and Xiao Jichen was not bad. He smiled and nodded again, spoke more loudly, and let the voice spread throughout the Xiao family's private port and the vast manor near the port, "All sailors from Xuecheng who work in the Xiaos' fleet will be free from now on. In the future, whether you join the Xuecheng guards or the Xuecheng Navy, 50 liang of war death pensions for grass-roots sailors, five years of agricultural tax exemption for close relatives, and various preferential policies for relatives to work in the city."
…………
After Xue Cheng's autonomy, do you need the city guard and the coastal defense army?
need!
Even if Li Yuanshu can fly away and easily collapse a private fleet, he can't solve all the big and small affairs for the people all the time.
Xue Cheng needs not only the decent Fucheng guard and coastal defense army, but also the Yamen guards and captains in the Fucheng.
After he said this, only after dozens of breaths, cheers such as long live rang out in the nearby miles. Almost all the voices were filled with uncontrollable joy.
Xiao Jichen fired them?
In a word, Li Yuanshu increased their basic pension more than ten times. There are other preferential policies, which is enough to prove how superior it is to stay in Xuecheng with Li Yuanshu.
Also, don't forget that many of Xiao Jiashui's hands are single. Let's say that more than 80% of the sailors who died in the war with the Principality of ventra are single until they die.
It is because they dare not marry casually. After marriage, they often go on a long voyage for more than half a year. Who can rest assured that there will be no accident at home.
Many sailors are saving money, waiting to get married and quit the caravan.
However, there is still hope for this kind of sailor, who has become a slave. Now, he can not only be free, but also don't have to run in the ocean?
This is a great stimulus to all the sailors from Xue Cheng.
In all kinds of cheers, several servants close to him near Xiao Jichen looked strange. They wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to say it.
Xiao Jichen is the same.
The combat effectiveness of the fleet was reduced by hundreds, which had a great impact on their fleet.
But Xiao Jichen also had nothing to say. After taking a deep look at Li Yuanshu, he hurriedly ordered to arrange the return to Qufu.
Since the end of the war, Xiao Jichen has been recuperating here for more than a week. Most of the time, he has been contacting all parties to sell thousands of white slaves and repair ships. These things are not urgent, so he can only do them slowly. Now? Those little things can only be put aside.
………………
More than ten hours passed, and Xue Chengfu ushered in the sunshine of a new day. A batch of motorcades transported a large number of figures to the port. When they arrived at the port, groups of busy figures were carrying all kinds of cargo merchant ships.
The Xus, Wangs, Xues and other gentry and powerful families, whether they can accept it or not, must also accept the fact that they have cleaned up their possessions and are going to set sail.
In fact, for this group of local tyrants who have been entrenched in Xuecheng for decades and hundreds of years, they can't tidy up all their possessions in one day, even those floating wealth.
This is the feudal age! Some landlords are rich. After hoarding a lot of gold and silver, they dig a pit, or melt and cast the gold and silver and hide it in the wall
Just say that such wealth, do you want to clean it up again, easy?
This is not the age of technology. A mobile phone can fix several cards, and Alipay can clean up.
Silk and satin, calligraphy, painting and jewelry, etc. hide some here and where, or buy a small yard outside to hide treasures in the form of cunning rabbits and three caves.
It takes a lot of manpower and time to sort it out. After Li Yuanshu appeared yesterday, the servant who was originally their servant has become a free body, and they don't have so many servants to command.
Almost stepping on the limit point of the one-day period, the Xu family and other major figures in the lineages or common branches of the gentry and haos cleaned up about 80% of their floating wealth and got on board.
Even those in the Shuzhi, who are usually unpopular, don't want to get on board at all.
Those unpopular people don't get much care and benefits in their daily life, and they are basically similar to the lives of ordinary people. Once they stay in Xuecheng, they can be as happy as the people of Qi. Who is willing to run away with their lineage who ignored them in the past.
All the families have almost cleaned up. Some family owners and legitimate sons such as the Xu family, the Wang family and the Xue family just stand on the port ship and look at Xue Cheng from a distance. Their expressions are complex and powerful. Of course, there is no lack of hatred, resentment and other emotions.
"Let's go to Liang Daofu. We don't have a chance!"
…………
When the time point was about to arrive, Xu Jiqian shouted angrily and ordered the boatman to work.
However, the opportunity in his mouth refers to the opportunity to kill Li Yuanshu and return to Xuecheng town. It's hard to say whether he will escape Xuecheng and settle down in other cities and buy a new industry.
