After Liu Bu's formation and reversal, today's Liu Jiajun has become a huge warlord and chaebol group.
Their military force provides protection for their local political power and business, and they also provide military supplies for the army in local areas, so that they complement each other and become a whole. This is also a reason why the Ming Dynasty is now taboo against the Liu family, because even those who are blind can see the threat and instability of the Liu family.
Of course, this threat of the Liu family did not reach the point of national opposition, but the imperial court opposed him. Why? Because of the Liu family, he has skillfully established an interest alliance, which mainly erodes the interests of the imperial court, unlike other forces that devour the interests of the local government, which disgusts the local opposition and the imperial court.
They eroded the interests of the imperial court, so they turned a blind eye to these people and made everyone rich. Even in the past few decades, didn't everyone do this?
In the Liu family's self publicity, they also rated themselves as equivalent to the Li family in Liaodong before, but the Li family raised Kou's self-respect, which eventually led to the collapse of the situation in Liaozhen town. The Liu family is only in the core hinterland of Daming, but they will not make trouble if they get rich.
Even the Li family disappeared under the imperial court's will.
The Liu family is rising strongly, but he pays great attention to his reputation. Liu Yuanqiao still cherishes his reputation. It can also be said that he is to prevent others from suspecting him. He constantly sends people to protect the reputation of the Liu family and publicize the image of the Liu family. He also has countless guests to pay homage to the Liu family at the minister's house in the central court, The main thing is to explain the current situation of the Liu family. The Liu family has no threat to the court. He is willing to cooperate with every official in the court and make a fortune together.
Moreover, in today's Liu family, he can also get enough silver. Even if these people are civil and military officials, no matter how greedy and ambitious he is, he can buy them off.
But as an old saying goes, not everyone can buy. They wantonly erode the interests of the imperial court. After all, some people will guard against them. Even if they explain again and again, who can't see who they are?
After all, not everyone is blind, and not everyone can ignore anything for the sake of money. These officials want to make money when they are an official, but there is a premise, that is, to keep his official position. The second is to ensure that they rise step by step and then make money. They won't risk knowing it's a pit to make money.
Liu bu also felt a little helpless about this, because their Liu family's power was strong enough to this point, which was not what he could control, hide and hide.
This is called strength not allowed.
You should know that when the power is strong enough, no matter how hidden, others will know.
For example, why everyone thinks dongsanfu is powerful now is because dongsanfu is indeed a prosperous and prosperous situation. Its manufacturing industry is developing rapidly. All workshops and families have received a large number of orders. The only thing people want to do is to finish the orders and make money for the Liu family, All the land lost due to the war has also been replanted. The collective farm and production and Construction Corps established by the Liu family have planted a large number of drought tolerant and high-yield plants such as potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes.
This year, most places in Daming were still affected by the little ice age. Most places had poor harvests. Only dongsanfu had a good harvest. From this spring to this summer, it was a good harvest. Now it is the harvest time in autumn. Liu Bu rode a horse and led his guard to patrol around Jimo. He also found that, There was a scene of bumper harvest everywhere. People were busy harvesting corn and potatoes in the fields and carrying them back to the farm or their own homes one by one. Their eyes were full of the joy of bumper harvest.
Liu Bu is most pleased with this point. He knows that only Cang Xun knows etiquette. In * * * words, they have grain in their hands and don't panic. Although they have obtained a large amount of grain supplement through overseas purchase, now it is a troubled time, human life is as cheap as grass mustard, and food is like gold and silver. They have enough grain in their hands, It means having enough money, food and resources to do more.
After the Liu family survived the severe winter of last year, they mobilized all the human and material resources they could mobilize to plant several kinds of high-yield food and strive to make more people eat and wear warm. They not only planted the land abandoned because of the war, but also cultivated many wasteland and mountains.
These people are poor, hungry and afraid. They are very afraid of losing their immediate work. Therefore, all people work hard, not only for the Liu family, but also for themselves.
Even if you work for the Liu family and become the most common tenant farmer, you can dress warm, eat full, and even pick up your family. The Liu family has a lot of recruitment in all aspects.
After two consecutive seasons of planting, they obtained a large amount of grain, and all kinds of grain piled up in the warehouse, which also proved that the historical sweet potato Empire existed. Later, the Manchu Qing spent the food crisis by planting sweet potatoes and potatoes. Since man Yi can do it, why can't he Liu family, a huge group? After this year's rapid development, the number of people under the rule of Liu Jiajun has exceeded one million, and the number is far higher than that of JianNu. Although they are not like JianNu, most of the people can't fight, the human, material and resources that can be mobilized are also quite terrible.
If the grain and gold and silver stored by the Liu family are no longer under the imperial court's Taicang, what will the imperial court think?
Anyway, in the spring and autumn of this year, they have begun to pay grain tax gradually. After this autumn, they plan to pay in full the money and grain they pay. Of course, this is the amount stipulated in the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty and will not include all kinds of assessments added by the imperial court, but it is amazing enough.
Liu Yuanqiao has the name of an able official, which is not passed down by the literati, but obtained through his own strength. Many contemporary officials like to praise each other with the literati who spread culture, and then get a good reputation. However, Liu Yuanqiao doesn't want to get a good reputation by making friends with the literati, that is, he gets a reputation, That is, because he has gained fame and created great interests, he now understands how to govern a place and a country. At the same time, he also understands that the current Zhu family court is actually guarding a Golden Nest and holding a golden rice bowl, but he is begging. Such a person is really not suitable to sit in such a position, I can replace it.
That is, because of such achievements, Liu Yuanqiao came up with the idea of rebellion with ambition. If not, he would not rebel. He would make the people all over the world not have enough to eat under the incompetent royal family. He might as well replace it by himself and govern the Daming and the Central Plains better.
That is because the Liu family is really capable and manages this area well, which makes Duke Jingyun do everything he can to help the Liu family. He hopes that he will not be suspected by the imperial court and will not fight against the imperial court, so as to help the imperial court deal with the built slaves and the exiled bandits.
But Jing Yungong's idea is doomed to perish and miscarriage, because the Liu family is fighting for themselves and for the people all over the world, but they will never fight for the Ming Court and the world of the Ming Dynasty, because they have been completely disappointed in the Ming Dynasty and will no longer work for him.
Now they try their best to keep the Denglai area, even their nest and base area. As long as they occupy this place and have more population and resources, they will get more cards and can fight against Daming. Although Daming has not collapsed and its strength is still there, its fatigue has come to an end, which has completely come out, It is a kind of enjoyment for others to be emperor. Today's Chongzhen emperor is a kind of hard work, but it is the hardest and most tiring work in the world.
Liu Buhe led his horse team to inspect all parts of Jiaozhou to see the harvests. We should know that the harvest achievements mean their resources. If necessary, these resources can be transformed into war resources.
Now that Liu Bu has set his mind on creating a rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, whatever he thinks about is related to the rebellion. For example, when he is considering food, he is also considering that once they start fighting, they will be blocked by the Ming Dynasty. They have Denglai area, facing the canal and back to the sea. It is not easy for the Ming court to block him, Think about the weak navy of the Ming Dynasty, which is equal to no navy. It can't blockade their three eastern houses at all. Even they are able to blockade the Bohai Sea coast or the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty and attack any of its cities, that is to say, Liu Bu dares to rebel with confidence. If they rebel in another closed space, The Ming court can easily block it, so that he can't get the input of resources from the outside, but he doesn't dare to rebel, because such a rebellion is equivalent to a dead end, and there is no retreat, which is equivalent to wandering bandits. Once they rebel in Shaanxi, they will be blocked by the court, and there is no way to obtain external resources and support, There is no way to export resources.
When the imperial army attacked, they either fled or fled, that is, destroyed a city, and then fled to the next city to destroy a new city. Their strength of destruction and no construction is doomed to be abandoned by history. Only like the Liu family, they can build a solid base, build it like a fortress, attack and defend both, and be self-sufficient, Then develop outward, so as to have the hope of success.
Even if they lose the war and their development is unfavorable at the moment, they can also supplement their power through development and their own territory, but like the roving bandits, they are different. They can only strengthen themselves in destruction. Once there is no place to destroy, they will be completely finished, just like when they deal with the Fu Ming army, Because the Ming Dynasty was extremely corrupt, the officers and soldiers were quite incompetent. They could support for more than ten years, but when they were on the brave Manchu cavalry, they basically lost in a fight, broke at one touch, fell down and were completely killed. Therefore, the necessity of the base is very important.
