When Wu Qiliang left in a hurry, he found a huge new crisis in the family on his way away, and Li Jiannan and his party on the wharf also looked at each other.
Looking at the two horses running slower and slower ahead and the people on their backs, Tang huailan, an elite son of the Tang family in Xiuyan mansion, said, "even in Dayue City, which is hundreds of miles away from Xuecheng, the top local giants have plans to evacuate their hometown. Do we still need to go to Xuecheng?"
They went to Xuecheng to explore the wind on behalf of the high-level giants of Xiuyan mansion to confirm the authenticity of Li Yuanshu of the Li family.
Now, is it necessary to continue sailing?
Li Jiannan smiled bitterly, "brother Tang, why don't you stay in Dayue city for two more days? If you can ask for more information here, it's really unnecessary to go to Xue City."
After arriving at Dayue City, their fleet sailed into the wharf, just wanted to make supplies and rest here, and then continue Yang Fan and go to Xuecheng on the coastal road.
On the big island where Yunzhou is located, there are no waterway transportation channels extending in all directions, such as Wangyue lake and Xiang River in Yanzhou. The fastest efficiency can only continue to go by sea.
But Li Jiannan really felt that there was no need to go to Xuecheng again. Stop and see if the local Haozu were really selling houses and shops, and sincerely transfer all kinds of possessions, so as to confirm the authenticity of Xuecheng.
You said that the story of Li Yuanshu has been spreading all over Yunzhou. As long as Li Yuanshu is killed, such as Wu Qiliang's mansion, manor and shops will be confiscated and rented to ordinary people at a low price. Why can they still sell houses and shops now?
Of course it can be sold. After Li Yuanshu calls to confiscate the real estate, it is necessary to make unified arrangements for who to rent and how much to rent. Now if you have some money and buy it at a low price, it is your own mansion and manor.
Ordinary small handicraftsmen can't afford it. Even if the Wu family has a big sale, small handicraftsmen 'families can't afford it. However, in a city, there are middle-income people, such as those who used to work for the Wu family and achieve the level of shop supervisor. Even if they don't commit corruption, they also rely on their own high salary to save some money.
Or in a city, carpenters, blacksmiths and other technical talents, the grass-roots level must be the most satisfied and the most skilled. If they only rely on their skills to eat, they can also save a certain family wealth and become middle-income people. In the era of artillery ships, a qualified gun caster can easily save a lot of money.
In addition, the manors of the Wu family, which cover an area of thousands of square meters, go in and out several times, one yard next to another, and a large yard sets several small yards.
Even if a middle-income family can't afford to buy the whole, it's OK to unite more people and more than a dozen families. Everyone can raise money and share it equally.
This kind of family has no evil deeds and traces. They make a fortune by their own level. The Li family will not confiscate the family property they normally buy.
This can be based on examples. For example, Li Yuanshu took Xuecheng mansion and went to the three counties under Xuecheng for more than a week. In that week, the top Haozu in the three counties had heard the wind and ran away. The manor was sold to the middle-income people in the county and sold at a blood spitting price.
A large house worth tens of thousands of taels of silver is built with magnificent layout and the most exquisite talent. Spitting blood and jumping from a building sell for millions of taels. A group of middle-income families gathered together to buy it. More than a dozen families lived in a manor, which was very spacious.
When the Li family killed it, they also recognized the other party's title deed.
After all, the Li family just wants to make the grass-roots rich and live a good life. Those families who live on their own ability have saved money to buy a big house. Why don't they recognize it? So do the shops.
Now that there are such examples in the three counties under Xue Cheng's rule, for example, here in Dayue City, the Wu family where Wu Qiliang is located, and other gentry giants, they can delay for a while. They would rather have a blood spitting sale than sell some family property to take away.
Nonsense, they don't sell now. When the Li family comes, they will be confiscated free of charge. Now they can sell hundreds of Liang, even hundreds of Liang. The ancestral house can sell hundreds of thousands of Liang. The most prosperous shops and restaurants in the city's commercial center can sell hundreds of thousands of Liang at will. Ships outside the city, shipyards, good grain fields and all real estate together can be regarded as a modest wealth.
Of course, if possible, they absolutely don't want to give up a lot of ancestral inheritance like this. They just can't bear the immortal legs like Li Yuanshu, so they have to do it.
Tang huailan sighed helplessly, "inform more people to get off the ship and go to the city to find an inn to rest."
………………
After a period of time, the people of Xiuyan mansion had just stayed in the Best Inn in Dayue city. Before they had washed their dust, Li Jiannan couldn't wait to pull their families together.
"Brothers, something big has happened!" Li Jiannan said bitterly after grabbing the wine cup and pouring a mouthful of good wine to quench his thirst. "It's just the news that Wu Qiliang's Wu family has sold out. After 40 or 50 families, the first fleet plans to set sail and go to Qufu to avoid disasters or wait and see."
"But when it came to the end, I found that the servants from the sailors and so on were unwilling to withdraw with the Wu family."
"How can we protect the gold, silver and jewelry that can be taken away at any time when we arrive in Qufu without those servants escorting them and providing them with force, let alone pirates on the road?"
"If you can protect it for a while, you can protect it for a lifetime?"
Money and wealth move people's hearts, and children hold money in the busy market. There will only be one end. What if the Wu family is a member of the gentry? The gentry also eat people and don't spit bones when they start to fight their peers.
The gentry at the top of Xiuyan mansion are counting on civil unrest again and again, killing the gentry and landlords in the middle and lower counties and townships and losing all their possessions, and then they can have a good mouth?
If the Wu family had no protective power, would a local tyrant in the city enter the national capital with a large amount of cash wealth? It's strange not to be wiped clean.
Even if the gentry of the state of Lu may have a little uneasy conscience, or the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, what about big merchants? No matter how the gentry of the state of Lu oppressed and exploited the civilian class, they could not hide the fact that they were actually a dish in the mouth of the big business gentry.
Tang huailan gasped, "how dare you do this?! that slave doesn't respect the master's orders? This..."
This is to die. The problem is, once all the slaves get together and disobey your orders, you will find that they can't turn over the big waves.
If the banner of Li Yuanshu had not taken root in Xuecheng, would the servants here in Dayue City dare not obey orders? Even if we disobey orders and ignore the local gentry and rich families, there will be anti rebel troops in other places immediately and wipe out the rebellion here.
But Li Yuanshu's flag is floating in Xuecheng. If it doesn't fall in a day, no one will worry about the little things here.
As the leader of the Tang family, Tang huailan is certainly not stupid. He sees through the essence at a glance, but he has an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
