Chapter 645: The bad idea of ​​good strategy is suspected to be silence

The One Whip Method is a good strategy for the country. Wang Tong has always believed that, and since the One Whip Method was implemented, the treasury has been extremely abundant, which has deepened his impression. Today, when he went to the military camp outside the city, he saw these refugees, but he did not expect that it was forced by the One Whip Method.

"I remember that Eunuch Cai, Mr. Yang, Gu Zibin and others had made a special decision. After checking the land, each household in Hejian Prefecture paid almost 50% less tax than before. How could it force out refugees?"

"The young man was also confused at first, but later he asked someone to ask, the farmers paid less taxes on the surface, but the amount of money paid for the corvee service was too great. Farmers had food but no money to farm. If they had to pay the tax, they had to exchange the grain production for silver first. The grain merchants kept the price very low. Only by selling more grain can they pay the tax. The loss of selling more is too great. Small households cannot afford it, and they will suffer the sin if they don't pay taxes. There is no way, so they can only sell land to raise money..."

After thinking about what Sun Dahai said, Wang Tong also understood that everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The original intention of this whip method is to reduce the burden on farmers and reduce land annexation. If grain is sold, it may be more burdensome after being exploited by large landlords and grain merchants once. If farmers sell land, the only one who can buy these land is the rich merchant landlords, which in turn has exacerbated land annexation.

At present, the only benefit of this matter is that small and medium-sized landlords will not be difficult, and the national treasury is full. In the long run, I really don’t know how to say it.

When Sun Dahai saw Wang Tong listened, he continued to add:

"Hejian Prefecture is pretty good. It is said that in some counties in Shandong, the silver deducted from corvee labor must be collected, and other taxes that should be paid and corvee labor must be done are also quite a lot. That's the miserable thing!!"

Wang Tong was speechless. If he did this in the local area, he would add another layer of tax on the people, which would make them rich, but the people who farmed would suffer.

When Wang Tong rode his horse out of the big vegetable market, he was silent. His personal guards and entourage felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and his voice of chatting and laughing became much lower.

"Do we have enough reserves in the north?"

Hearing Wang Tong's question, Sun Dahai was a little stunned and reacted, and quickly replied:

"The grain has accumulated a lot. The grain there is not only for the purpose of self-use in the farm, but also for the food and food of Tianjin. In addition to producing it themselves, we have also been buying grain everywhere."

Wang Tong nodded and said in a deep voice:

"When I go back today, I will arrange for people to recruit refugees to the village and then buy land near the village. This means that new fields are to be opened and a large number of people need to be cultivated."

The farms that Wang Tong bought in the north are all within Shuntian Prefecture, but are a area near the sea. Due to the sea ban and the sea defense of that year, there are basically tidal flats and wild areas covered with weeds. There is only one thousand households in Liangcheng. Wang Tong set up farms and opens wasteland here. At most, some people laughed at him for not knowing how to buy a house, but no one stopped him. The land of the royal relatives and nobles has nothing to do with this place.

Sun Dahai agreed, and he felt that Wang Tong was more comprehensive in his consideration of the matter and resettled refugees. If the censor reported the impeachment, even if he was the confidant of Emperor Wanli, he might cause trouble. However, if he recruited refugees to reclaim wasteland and was his own family business, at most he would say that he was greedy for money, but no one cared about the others.

"The maintenance and renovation of rivers and harbors must also be carried out as soon as possible. At present, these people are just looking for food and clothing, and don't have to spend any wages. It is a good time for engineering infrastructure."

Sun Dahai responded again, and the town area was almost out of the front of him. The horse team began to accelerate. Wang Tong also shook the reins. After running for a few steps, he spoke again:

"Let all merchants in Tianjin, Jiangfang Shipyard, and Tianjin Wei who need to hire people will go to the refugees to hire. Don't you always complain about not enough staff? Tianjin Wei should not freeze and starve to death."

This was solemn, and Sun Dahai also took the order solemnly.

The military camps located outside the city now have security guards, temporary recruitment of security guards, and the training of service guards in various places. They are often stationed in the Huwei Army, but the people who are often present in the military camps are about a thousand people.

Li Hutou, Wu Er and others lived in the barracks, surrounded by military camps, and were full of fully armed soldiers, so there was no problem in terms of safety.

After entering the barracks, someone took the horses. Wang Tong walked towards the barracks inside surrounded by a group of people. After walking a few steps, he saw Li Hutou cursing and shouting in front:

"You are so lazy, and you have been slaughtered on the battlefield long ago. It's more neat. Why didn't you see you so weak when you were eating cabbage and cooking fish at noon?"

Although he is much taller than his peers, he is still shorter than the young and strong people who are training on the school grounds. However, when he was shouting and scolding, the people below were obedient and no one dared to violate them.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Tong's mouth. The general accompanying him said with a slight interest:

"Although the Lord told General Li to rest, General Li came out to supervise the security guards as soon as he recovered from his illness. These security guards complained every day."

Everyone was laughing in kindness. Wu Da, who was following Wang Tong, saw Li Hu's head, his eyes lit up, he looked forward for a while, and his face darkened again.

Li Hutou also saw Wang Tong and others coming over and shouted at the person running in line:

"Continue to practice"

Running towards this side, Wang Tong turned around and said:

"Zhang Shiqiang, Wu Da stay, others can find a place to rest"

Everyone bowed and dispersed, but Li Hu's head came to him. Wang Tong shook his head and said with a smile:

"You are really energetic, and you don't say you have a good rest. This year, I'll give you a fake. Go to the capital to celebrate the New Year with your father. Your father is a real family member this year, and it's indispensable to add the title of commander. You can celebrate when you go back."

Li Hu's head was quite handsome in front of others, but he was casually tight in front of Wang Tong. It took a long time since I saw Wang Tong and he was very excited. He jumped a few times on the spot before he spoke:

"I haven't been there for several months. I can't help but not stare. Those bastards relaxed when they don't watch. Besides, it's better to be at home than to be at the military camp. When I got home, my father scolded me, but now I'm asking me to be careful. I can't stand the nagging."

"Your father is also taking me to Wu Er's side for your own good."

Wang Tong patted Li Hutou on the shoulder helplessly. Li Hutou nodded in agreement, took two steps but turned around and said:

"You are Wu Er's eldest brother Wu Da?"

Looking at Wu Da nodding, Li Hutou said excitedly:

"Along the way, I heard Wu Er talk about you a lot, saying that he is big and you are short. It was because you didn't have much food when you were a child. You gave him all the food, which made him grow so tall, but you delayed your body."

After hearing Li Hu's head say, Wu Da's body shook, his eyes turned red, he lowered his head and rubbed it with his hands a few times. Wang Tong frowned and looked at him a few times, thinking that Wu Da is also a powerful man in Shandong Green Forest, why is he so affectionate? Zhang Shiqiang sighed, Wu Da raised his head and said with a smile:

"President Li Tuan heard that Wu Er was there. When he was a child, he was ruined by his enemy. When he was young, he took Wu Er out and wandered out for half a year. That half a year was a lot of hard work. Later, when his uncle came back from the sea, life was better. At that time, Wu Er was greedy for meat, so the young man went to kill the dog..."

I think they were just teenagers back then, but Wu Da dared to kill dogs. It was indeed cruel. It was no wonder that they dared to go against Dong Chuangxi, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, but Wang Tong was a little impatient when he heard it, patted Li Hu's head and urged him to lead the way.

After walking a few steps forward, there was a separate house in front of him. There were barracks in the military camps in the north of the city, and there were no separate houses. This house was built by Wang Tong. From a distance, the door of the house was closed, and more than a dozen soldiers outside were patrolling and guarding him. When they saw someone coming, they immediately took a vigilance.

Li Hutou walked in front and raised his hand to greet him. Only then did these people relax. When they saw that the person who was following him was Wang Tong, everyone bowed and walked to the door of the house. Wang Tong spoke:

"Hutou, go back and train your troops. Just Zhang Shiqiang and Wu Da will accompany me in."

Li Hutou was stunned for a moment, turned around and left, and turned around and begged:

"Brother Wang, Wu Er's ability may not be of great use in the battle formation. However, if he is fighting in the city and house, he is a master and knows that many activities in the Green Forest Village are still useful."

After saying that, he ran towards the training ground. Wang Tong was stunned for a moment before he realized that he couldn't help laughing. He finally figured out why Wu Da was so in love with his children.

Wang Tong shook his head and turned around and pushed open the yard door and walked in. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Wu Er punching in the yard. Wu Eryi saw that Wang Tong was coming in, so he quickly stopped his posture. After seeing Wu Da behind Wang Tong, his face suddenly changed, and then he knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Tong and said:

"Your Madam lets the younger one meet his brother. Such a great kindness will never forget the younger one in his next life."

He kowtowed a few times solemnly, and said to Zhang Shiqiang:

"Along the way, Brother Zhang took care of Wu Er a lot. Wu Er was not here, Brother Wu Er and the Wu family asked Brother Zhang to take care of him."

Zhang Shiqiang nodded as well. Wang Tong shook his head in a hilarious way and said:

"I'm not here to destroy you this time. I'm not going to make things that are separated from one's life and death, and go into the house to talk."

After saying that, he walked into the house. It was quiet at first, and then he heard a "puzzle" sound, and then a "bump" sound. There was no need to look back and know that it was the Wu brothers kowtow there. Wang Tong pushed open the door and went in and said:

"If you want to kill your mouth, you have to wait for you to come back... Don't waste your time, I am busy with work?"

Wang Tong was impatient, but the Wu brothers felt like they were escaping from death, but they didn't believe it very much until they heard Wang Tong's words:

"The more pirates and ship workers are recruiting, the fewer they are. Now you want to ask your brothers to find some Green Forest characters, thieves and robbers...—
