Song xiance, after confirming that Liu Zeqing had ordered his army to return to Jinan, they began to formulate the next round of policies.
They have to face not only Liu Zeqing, but many people. Now it is a chaotic officialdom, a life and death arena. The law of the jungle, big fish eat small fish.
Liu Yuanqiao sighed: "In fact, I don't resent Lord Zhu. He is also a self disciplined person who is willing to serve the country and the people. However, I am not responsible for Daming today, nor is it caused by my Liu family. Revitalizing Daming is not the responsibility and obligation of our Liu family. If all people are willing to contribute, I Liu Yuanqiao is willing to make the same contribution, but his so-called recovery I just want to be the leader of the local policy. It doesn't work. It seems that it's the prince Lu's residence. They take away one-fifth of the taxes in Shandong, and the Confucius residence. The so-called rich world of the Liu family is a joke in front of the Confucius residence, but have they made any contribution? "
Song xiance said to him, "governor, he is also an old lady. He only chooses soft persimmons. He has no way. What can he do to King Lu and Lord Yan?"
Liu Yuanqiao said, "there is no way. We can only protect ourselves. If the Liu family is unable to protect themselves, it is estimated that we will also become one of the refugees."
This is the ecology of officialdom in the Ming Dynasty. Everyone's position is for the sake of the world, the imperial court and all the people in the world. However, when they let themselves pay for this, they refuse to take out their money and their quality of life can not be reduced, but they ask others to contribute their property to save the world.
This phenomenon has become all kinds of officialdom. Who is an official does not demand himself according to the standards of bitches and others according to the standards of saints. Therefore, now the bankrupt ordinary people and many rich businessmen are caught in the pattern of big fish eating small fish. Their sacrifice is said to be for the world. In fact, most of the money has gone into the official's pocket.
This situation leads to another extremely terrible situation, that is, the unscrupulous officials bully the weak people. These weak people have no choice but to hang their property and fields in the rich and powerful families in order to get protection.
These money, grain and land have entered the hands of aristocratic families. If they are black hearted, they will take the opportunity to take away your property. If they are good people and abide by the spirit of the contract, they will also successfully exempt the taxes of the imperial court. As a result, the imperial court will be poorer and less.
This is also a reshuffle of some form of rights and interests. The imperial court and the people have become the losers of this power reshuffle.
Liu Yuanqiao is a veteran of officialdom. Of course, he knows how powerful the current Prince Lu's residence and Confucius' residence are. There are some aristocratic families in Shandong. Who dares to provoke and move them? He can't move these great gods, but the Liu family.
Liu Yuanqiao also felt that the current world was very bad. He was also shocked by the world. Daming really collapsed so far.
The country is about to die.
Of course, Liu Yuanqiao also received hints from Prince Lu's house and Confucius' house. The other party also saw the plight of the Liu family. The other party said that if the Liu family is willing to come to work, they are welcome at any time. Liu Zeqing knows one thing very well. With their wealth, if they take refuge in any family, they are expected to become their slaves, and their property does not exist.
Liu Yuanqiao, after all, is the head of the Liu family. He is also thinking that they have had a good time. It is better to live happily than humiliating.
In Linqing, they beat back Liu Zeqing temporarily, giving them a chance to breathe, but the other one is not easy to deal with. Zhu Dadian has always asked him to contribute money and food, hoping that they can make more contributions to the current refugees.
However, Liu Yuanqiao knows how corrupt the current official deposit system is. No matter how much money and food he donates, he will be swallowed up by these greedy villains. It can be said that up to half of the ten Liang silver donated will flow into the hands of the victims. In this way, how much money and food they Liu family have to fill the appetite of these animals.
And Linqing's rich and powerful family is not only his Liu family. Why should they be fully responsible when something goes wrong? Are they local parents?
Liu Yuanqiao is in Linqing. In fact, the dilemma he faces is the same as that Liu Bu faces here in Foshan. Now the other party is to rush the refugees to you and want you to help. That is, if you don't help, you will suppress you with righteousness. It is estimated that there are fewer refugees after natural selection in the past winter, but the Liu family will also bear the crime of not saving at the sight of death.
This is actually a dilemma.
It was very difficult for them to save or not to save.
Why do you say this? That is, the current moral concept is distorted and can't be lived by common sense. If the Liu family appears in the attitude of saving the world and takes out a lot of money and food to save these refugees from difficulties and win a good reputation, maybe those refugees will appreciate him, but the court will never appreciate him. The court will only think that they are buying people's hearts.
There are also local dignitaries and rich people who will not appreciate them. They only think that the Liu family has money and wants to be saints, but they have turned them into villains. They have spent money and become no people inside and outside. Liu Yuanqiao is very aggrieved. He thinks it's too difficult to be a man like this.
Liu Yuanqiao was born in a wealthy family and has been in charge of the family for nearly 20 or 30 years. He has always liked the way of happy gratitude and hatred, but now he can't use this way. The current situation is that he is in a dilemma no matter what he does. You are wrong and you are wrong if you don't do it.
Such difficulties made him feel that he was the leader of the Liu family. The big ship shuttled through the stormy waves and the reef jungle. A little carelessness was the end of the boat covering and killing people.
Now Liu Zeqing is gone, but they are facing a new dilemma, that is, they have a large number of refugees pouring into Fushan and Jimo. Will they save or not?
In Jimo area, the Liu family is the richest family, and these farmers come to the Liu family after the conscious guidance of the government. If they do not carry out relief action, the consequences will be unimaginable. It is estimated that these vagrants will not exist after winter.
But this winter is a very severe test for the Liu family and the refugees.
One thing is certain that there are two kinds of people in the world. One is docile people. Under such circumstances, they have no choice but to sit on the ground, have no resistance and die silently. The other is unwilling to starve like a dog. They rise up and kill all sides without fear of rebellion. Although this is a great crime to kill the nine families, they take charge of their eyes first, First eat enough, so they can do anything to eat enough at present.
We know and understand how much impact it will have on the Liu family if these refugees trigger a riot.
Just like Shaanxi now, why is it completely disordered and chaotic? After these bandits entered Henan, they also caused chaos in the Central Plains.
The imperial court dispatched countless troops and mobilized countless generals to exterminate the exiled bandits, but they did not find out what the essence of the exiled bandits was. Liu Yuanqiao knew that if he did not deal with the problems here, it was estimated that similar large-scale exiled bandits and rebellions would occur here in the third East Government of Shandong Province. Once a fight broke out, The first to suffer is the big family headed by the Liu family.
Of course, these officials can't get any benefits now. They will also become the first people to be killed by the refugee rebellion. The first thing to be killed by the refugee rebellion is the officials, followed by these rich and powerful families. They have been cleaned place by place. There are no survivors and no luck, just like in Shaanxi and Henan, As long as the itinerant bandits basically turn the cities into desolation and the countryside into ruins, they coerce a large number of people and rush to another city like locusts. They are restless everywhere.
This is equivalent to a new power reshuffle. If they are able to survive this huge crisis, they can continue the glory of the family. If they are unable to continue, Zhou Fu's death in this crisis will become the yellow flower of the past.
Such history and experience are basically going on in the Central Plains. It is the so-called "thousands of sails passing by the side of a sunken boat and thousands of trees in front of a dead tree pile".
As the head of the Liu family, Liu Yuanqiao has the obligation to guide his family through this crisis and protect their wealth and honor.
Now they are in a dilemma. When he has few choices, he has to authorize Liu Fuqi to give him more rights to Liu bu. It depends on him to do it slowly. It is impossible for them to go all out and do everything to relieve the refugees. They also don't have this ability, but at present, they can save one by one, which is also one of their few choices.
Even song xiance, who is so cunning and wise, doesn't think much of things now. He can only see step by step. They don't have much confidence and confidence in the future. It can only be said that they see step by step. At present, their policy is to pay first to save some people.
As for what to do next, song Yuanqiao has no complete grasp. He can only do limited things with his few resources.
